"Even so, you can't conclude based on this alone that the old village chief is hiding something from us..." Zeng De argued.
Zheng Chenggong casually pointed to someone else's courtyard: "Do you think the village chief's house was robbed?"
This time Zeng De was speechless: "Then...why did the old village chief hide it from us? What did he hide from us?"
Zheng Chenggong shook his head: "I don't know either. Let's see if we can go somewhere else and ask."
The result is of course not ideal. After all, they have just been robbed. No one is willing to tell these things to strangers in front of them, and they do not believe that they can really help them solve their predicament. This is probably what ordinary people can hope for.
Please don't come here again.
The sun went down and the sky became dark. Zheng Chenggong and Zeng De once again approached the cargo ship they had been optimistic about during the day. It was quiet and quiet at the moment.
"They should be ready to leave, let's go over and have a look." Zeng De said in a low voice.
"I saw how strange the workers who moved things were doing today, and I just happened to find out about this as well." He frowned slightly.
In fact, he couldn't tell what was strange, but looking at those silent people and their expressions, he always felt that something was wrong.
Both of them were pretty good at martial arts, so it was not difficult to approach the ship under the cover of night. After approaching the ship, they both discovered that everyone on the ship was wearing uniform clothes.
Zheng Chenggong winked at Zeng De, and the two of them surrounded a man standing listlessly in the corner. One covered his mouth and the other slashed with a knife.
The young man rolled his eyes and fainted before he could even hum. Zeng De knew what to do without being told. He secretly changed his clothes and dragged him to a corner, stuffed his mouth with a rag and tied him up.
With the cover of Zeng De who had changed his clothes, Zheng Chenggong could more easily attack another person who must have come to change his shift. Perhaps because he had not had dinner, his hand was light, but the young man was not knocked unconscious and struggled twice.
.
Zeng De was startled, fearing that his loud shouting would attract others. As a result, the boy just opened his mouth and whimpered hoarsely twice, but was unable to make any sound.
Zheng Chenggong and Zeng De looked at each other and looked at the young man's mouth. They couldn't help being stunned at the same time. No wonder these people were so silent while working, their mouths had long lost the tongue to speak.
Zheng Chenggong was silent for a moment, then asked calmly: "You are a villager around here, right?"
Zeng De was shocked and hurriedly looked at the strong young man, but saw that the other man nodded silently and with difficulty. He didn't understand, if he was really a nearby villager, why would he be willing to do things for his enemy?
Just listen to Zheng Chenggong continue to ask in a gentle voice: "They promised you that as long as you don't say anything, they will let you go home after the incident, right?"
The man seemed not to expect that he could guess this, and nodded again.
Zheng Chenggong sighed: "Just pretend you don't know anything and go home."
The young man's eyes widened in surprise, as if he didn't expect that he would regain his freedom so easily.
Zheng Chenggong ignored him, changed his clothes, stood up and walked to the cabin. Zeng De didn't care to speak, and wanted to make a gesture to the young man to leave quickly and chased Zheng Chenggong.
This man had a very bad temper and would do whatever he wanted. He was a bit lawless and fearless. Zeng De was worried that he would do something stupid impulsively.
"Obviously we arrived in time, otherwise tonight..." Before he could finish his words, Zheng Chenggong could understand what he meant. Naturally, these people would not let those villagers go back. If they hadn't come today, these people would have escaped.
The ending of being silenced.
Pity the women who are still waiting for their husbands to come home, as well as the children and the elderly. Zheng Chenggong frowned, his face full of anger, these idiots know how to plan.
"It seems that this is what the old village chief is hiding from us... I don't know how he can have the face to face those old, weak, women and children who trust him," Zeng De said sadly.
In the face of his own life, what does the so-called loyalty mean? This was his deep-rooted thought after escaping, but whenever he had this thought, he would think of Zheng Chenggong pushing him away in the sea of fire.
, some people really regard these as more important than their own lives.
There are such people, and he has met them.
There were countless large and small boxes in the cabin, and the people who were responsible for guarding them were also those poor tongueless people. Zeng De explained the situation to them in a few words and sent them all away. Only one person waved his hand and looked anxiously.
The two of them were babbling and seemed to want to say something.
Zeng De looked familiar to him, and remembered that he looked very similar to the boy he knocked unconscious for the first time when he first came in. He must be a pair of brothers.
"Are you looking for your brother again?" He tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible.
The boy nodded vigorously, looking anxious. Zeng De patted his shoulder and described in detail the corner where he changed clothes. The man bowed a few times excitedly and ran out in a hurry.
Zheng Chenggong looked at their backs and sneered. Zeng De was so terrified by his laughter: "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing." Zheng Chenggong regained his composure. He opened a box and checked. Sure enough, under the thin layer of soap locust, there was a box of silver.
Zheng Chenggong quickly closed the box. Zeng De looked at him in confusion, but saw him making a "shh" gesture, so he had to squat down with him, hide behind the big box and hold his breath.
At this time, Zeng De also heard a rush of footsteps. It seemed that there was more than one person coming.
"Those idiots actually ran away. Go after them immediately and leave no one alive." A hoarse voice ordered.
Then there were the sounds of several people leaving. It was still the same rough voice: "Hurry and check to see if there is any damage."
Zheng Chenggong and Zeng De looked at each other and secretly clenched the swords at their waists. There were not many people left, so they should have the strength to fight.
In fact, there were only four people left. One person stood at the door. The other three probably checked it and turned back before they reached the box where they were hiding.
"It's okay. Those bumpkins don't know what we do. They just want to survive. They don't care about stealing anything."
The other two people also echoed: "That's right, Sanzi and the others can do this little thing in a minute and a half, so don't alert the superiors."
The man with the rough voice thought for a while, and obviously didn't want to cause any trouble at this time. Seeing that there was no loss but a few wastes running away, and there were already people chasing him, he just snorted: "You don't have to worry about it.
Say, let’s go.”
Listening to the sound of fading away, Zheng Chenggong and Zeng De breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They still didn't know the strength of the other party, and they couldn't take advantage of them if they attacked rashly.
