After a while, the water boiled. Chang Yu took the pot to the door of the house to let the mountain breeze cool it down. He accidentally discovered why there was another lamp outside the door, so he asked the old man out of curiosity: "Why did you hang up a lamp just now?"
Is there something special about having an extra lamp?"
"No, there's a lot more details here." The old man said with a serious face: "You are two people, so of course you need to light two lamps."
Chang Yu couldn't help laughing: "According to what you said, if you pass by ten, eight or dozens of people, you have to light the same number of lights." He glanced at the room and said, "I never saw you have so many."
Light."
"Then you are right. The more people there are, the more lights there are. If you don't believe it, just look." The old Taoist said and pointed outside the house. Chang Yu and Jiang Fa looked curiously in the direction he pointed. The entrance to the mountain temple is the mountain road.
To the east is the river, and there is nothing in the darkness. When I was wondering, I caught a glimpse of light from the corner of my eye, but there was a light on the road in the direction from which I came. It was getting closer and closer. I was wondering if someone was traveling at night? Then I discovered the woods on the hillside behind the mountain temple.
There was also a fire inside, and then, I found a light spot just south of the road...
No matter how stupid Chang Yu is, he still knows that there is something fishy going on, and that he has been tricked.
Jiang Fa immediately turned around and entered the house to capture the old Taoist, but there was no one else in the house!
It's really weird that someone who was in the house just now has disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Could it be that he really encountered a mountain spirit or something? Jiang Fa suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Chang Yu didn't believe it. After walking around the temple, he found that there was a hole in the corner of the wall behind the mountain god statue. That old Taoist was
Got out from here.
"It seems that the young master's luck is not very good today." Jiang Fa sighed, pulled out his knife and walked out. Chang Yu snorted coldly: "It's hard to say who has bad luck."
The green bird came out of its sheath, murderous aura burst out, and even Jiang Fa felt his hair stand on end.
At this time, more than ten torches outside were close to the eyes, surrounding the small mountain temple. However, when Chang Yu and Jiang Fa left the temple, the surrounding people suddenly screamed, they have knives, how could they have them?
knife……
Immediately, the flames retreated about ten steps, which made Chang Yu and Jiang Fa very puzzled and felt a little strange.
The two of them stood back to back with knives to prevent someone from attacking from behind.
In fact, Chang Yu was still very nervous at this time. In addition to Jiang Fa's injuries, he was also afraid of sneak attacks from hidden arrows even though it was dark and he didn't know the depth of the enemy. "Come here, you idiot!" Chang Yu shouted, and the people around him shouted in surprise.
There was no sound immediately, and no one dared to speak to him.
Chang Yu and others were impatient and were about to kill him and go out when a person in the darkness coughed softly: "We seek wealth without harming our lives. Leave the silver and the three horses and leave quickly."
Bah, Chang Yu had a fierce look on his face: "I will fight to pull out the hair of an iron rooster. If you have the ability, just come and get it."
"I never expected that you, a Taoist priest, would fall into the trap of a bandit and be an informant." Jiang Fa's hearing was different from ordinary people, and he recognized that the speaker was the Taoist priest from the Tu Tu Temple: "This Tu Tu Temple is actually your hideout."
.
"Jiang Bashi, haven't you figured it out yet? He is a bastard Taoist priest." Chang Yu sighed: "He is just a fake." Only then did Jiang Fa realize. No wonder he had called himself Xiaolaoer before.
After calling him Taoist Master, he changed his name to Pindao.
Hahaha, the man chuckled: "It doesn't matter whether you are a Taoist priest or not. What matters is your life. If your life is gone, you will lose nothing. It's not worth it to lose your life for something external."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you have the guts, come here to get it." Chang Yu smiled ferociously. At this time, the murderous intention in him reached the limit. He only needed one introduction to explode. At this moment, Jiang Fa gave him a slight tug. At the hem of his clothes, he then said to the man: "What you said is not unreasonable. We are just entrusted by others to send a few horses. There is no reason to lose our lives for three horses. You can take it yourself and take your leave."
With that said, he pulled Chang Yu to leave.
Jiang Fa had his own considerations for this move. At this time, he was surrounded by enemies, and he was injured. He was worried that it would be difficult to take care of Chang Yu Zhouquan, so he wanted to jump out of the encirclement first and then turn around.
Chang Yu and him had a clear understanding of each other, and if they could outwit each other, they wouldn't have to fight hard. After all, the situation was really unfavorable to them. The two of them were fighting against each other in vain, and if they had hidden arrows, they would be killed or injured if they were not careful.
"Wait a minute," the Taoist shouted coldly, "The horse is here, but where is the money?"
"As for the money, keep the money." Seeing that the two men suddenly became frightened, the people around them shouted, their morale rising.
Chang Yu frowned: "Do you think we two look like wealthy people?"
"Wearing coarse clothes does not look like a rich person, but being generous is showing off. Young people, don't you understand that wealth should not be exposed? Since it is exposed, just keep it." The old Taoist sneered, Chang Yu picked Eyebrow: "You have seen that I have been generous, and when will it be revealed again?"
"I have never seen Pindao, but some people have seen him." The man started calling himself Pindao again, and Chang Yu sneered: "That person must have made a mistake, or you stopped the wrong person. I am poor and useless, but I really have money. Why don't you eat and drink a lot of fish and meat all the way? Didn't you see that you were just eating dry food?"
When he said this, the old man really murmured. He had just seen Chang Yu driving the car with Wo Wotou in his hand. He was boiling water and preparing to eat dry food.
"That's right, it's the two of them, I can't be mistaken." At this moment, a voice sounded, and Chang Yu suddenly got goosebumps: "Good guy, it's you! Your father said that you were working as a coolie outside. I don’t want to work part-time as a bandit.”
"Perhaps, I've known about it for a long time." Jiang Fa sneered, and he naturally heard it. The person who just spoke turned out to be the son of the family they stayed at last night!
"You, you heard wrong, I'm not him..."
Chang Yu sneered and said nothing. The old man stopped him and his voice became cold: "Originally I just wanted to steal money, but now I want to silence you. Boy, you asked for this. Come on, brothers!"
But after hearing his order, more than a dozen flames approached, and Chang Yu's face turned into a ferocious smile: "Jiang Bashi, they asked for this!"
"Then they are really unlucky." Jiang Fa sneered and tightened his grip on the steel knife in his hand. He was willing to give up. He also sighed secretly that the young governor still lacked experience in the world. Although he had heard the identity of the other party just now, he should not have called him immediately. Broken.
But I can't control that much right now. A dozen bandits will do the job, and the most they can do is get a few more stabs.
The aperture became smaller and smaller, and more than a dozen torches slowly surrounded Chang Yu and Jiang Fa on three sides on the mountain road. Only one side facing the river behind them was deserted.
At worst, they jumped into the river and escaped later. Chang Yu and Jiang Fa looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding that they could tell each other's thoughts with just one look. But it was strange that these people could keep their composure and slowly surrounded them without rushing to take action.
Why is this?
As soon as he had this thought, Chang Yu suddenly noticed something was wrong. At this time, the bandits holding torches in the surrounding area were only six or seven steps away from him, and they could vaguely see each other clearly through the light of the fire.
They all had their faces covered!
Uh... There are no serious bandits these days who are masked. Even those who go to rob homes are rarely masked. After all, there are no cameras or cameras these days. They are afraid of who is watching. Professional players have no scruples at all. Only a few of them are.
Only the kind of charlatans and assassins wear masks.
But what Chang Yu found weirdest wasn't their weapons.
Some of these people were holding hoes, sickles, manure forks, hooks... It can be said that almost all of them were agricultural tools. There was no decent weapon. The only closest thing was a woodcutter.
Chang Yu immediately realized a key point: they were a group of amateur bandits!
An old man like Jiang Fa also reacted instantly. The two of them couldn't help but smile at each other, and their whole bodies relaxed.
No wonder they made a fuss when they first saw two people with swords. Apart from not doing their homework well in advance, they were also scared. No wonder they were about to take action, but the thunder was loud and the rain was light. The people who surrounded them just refused to rush forward, and they were all afraid of who would come first.
Who will be the first to be hacked to death? After all, it’s not a big problem for amateur players to scare people into fighting, but they are afraid of killing people with a knife.
