Chapter 985 Sitting on the Golden Mountain but not knowing it
Chapter 985: Sitting on a golden mountain but not knowing it
"You guys dig it first, I'll go to the top of the mountain to take a look."
While Cheng Jiu, Guan Maochun and Yu Tie were digging hard in the dirt, Chai Yan suddenly spoke.
Although Shangguan Peining was very angry and annoyed before, in the end Chai Yan relied on his sharp tongue and stalking attitude to get three Martial God Beans from her and gave them to Cheng Jiu and the others for use.
Cheng Jiu said while digging the soil: "Sir, you have to go back quickly, we will be fine here in a while!"
Chai Yan nodded and said: "I know!"
Hang Baiqiu on the side asked hurriedly: "Why are you going to the mountain?"
Chai Yan said: "Just taking a look, I always feel that something is wrong nearby."
Hang Baiqiu glanced at Cheng Jiu and the others, then turned back and said, "I'll go with you!"
Chai Yan refused: "No, you can stay. I'll be back in a moment."
"No! Either go together or don't go at all!" Hang Baiqiu's attitude was very tough.
Seeing that Hang Baiqiu's attitude was very determined, Chai Yan had no choice but to shake his head and said: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you..."
Hang Baiqiu felt happy immediately, and then followed Chai Yan closely up the mountain.
When Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu walked away, Cheng Jiu immediately turned to look at Hong Biao and said harshly: "Have you rested enough? Come and dig quickly!"
"Come on, come on..." Hong Biao, who was sitting on the stone, quickly got up and rejoined the digging process.
.....................
The reason why Chai Yan wanted to go up the mountain was because Shangguan Peining told him that there was a new smell of human blood on the mountain just now!
This shows that there are people on the mountain, and there are casualties. It is very likely that they are the escaped bandits.
"Sir Hang, we need to be more careful in a moment. There may be bandits on the mountain!" Chai Yan reminded while climbing the mountain.
Hang Baiqiu nodded and said, "I understand."
After burning incense, the two finally climbed up the mountain.
Chai Yan looked around and saw that there were traces of people living there, and it seemed that there were quite a few people living there. He was surprised and said: "Sir Hang, look, there are people living on this mountain!"
Hang Baiqiu also saw it, and immediately frowned and said: "Be careful, this must be the lair of the bandits!"
"Well, I think so too!" Chai Yan immediately agreed.
Then Chai Yan added: "But it looks like all these bandits should have escaped. Look at the look here, it's such a mess!"
Hang Baiqiu said: "Don't take it lightly, check everywhere, maybe there are some rogue bandits who haven't left yet!"
Chai Yan nodded, then picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground next to him, holding it in his hand with caution at all times.
After half a stick of incense, several caves on the mountain had been searched by Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu, but not a single bandit was found. However, judging from the remaining items, this place should be
The lair of Lu Dan and his gang of bandits.
"Looking at it like this, they should all have escaped!" Hang Baiqiu looked a little regretful.
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Chai Yan suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you doing? Why are you laughing so stupidly?" Hang Baiqiu rolled his eyes.
Chai Yan stopped laughing and asked, "Sir Hang, don't you think it's funny? These bandits have occupied Lintai Mountain and live on Jinshan Mountain, but they themselves don't know it..."
..Hahaha, this is not funny, what else is funny? Hahaha..."
Hang Baiqiu thought about it. If Hong Biao had found the right place, then these bandits were really stupid. They were sitting on a golden mountain but didn't know it!
Thinking of this, Hang Baiqiu gradually became happy and chuckled.
The two laughed for a while, and then Hang Baiqiu asked: "The bandits have escaped, are we still chasing them?"
"We won't pursue it for now!" Chai Yan said with certainty: "Determining the gold mine is the most important thing right now! Anyway, Lu Chen is dead, and the remaining bandits are leaderless. When the time comes, they will be handed over to the people of the Yaozhou Guard Camp. The few of us
You can’t take all the credit, right?”
Hang Baiqiu smiled and said nothing, but he obviously agreed with Chai Yan's statement.
At this time, Chai Yan asked in his mind: "Shangguan Peining, where is the smell of fresh human blood you mentioned just now?"
Shangguan Peining said dissatisfied: "Thank you for remembering to ask...it's in the back mountain!"
Chai Yan looked back and looked around, and found that there was really a road leading to the back mountain, so he said to Hang Baiqiu: "Let's go to the back mountain and have a look."
"Yeah." Hang Baiqiu agreed and followed Chai Yan to the back mountain.
After walking for a while, the two of them discovered a woman's body in the grass on the roadside. Counting along the way, there were four or five women's bodies.
Hang Baiqiu ran forward to check, then turned around and said, "Chai Yan, these women are not rogues, they should be common people who were kidnapped by rogues."
Chai Yan nodded solemnly and asked secretly: "Shangguan Peining, is this the smell of fresh human blood you mentioned?"
Shangguan Peining immediately denied it and said: "No, these are no longer new, and the fresher ones are still ahead."
Front?
Chai Yan was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look at the road ahead.
Hang Baiqiu returned to Chai Yan and asked with a worried look: "Chai Yan, do you think the family members of the second baby and the third sister have..."
Hang Baiqiu didn't say anything about the following content.
Chai Yan shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, I hope it won't be that result!"
After that, Chai Yan continued walking along the mountain road. Hang Baiqiu looked back at the corpse on the roadside, and then quickly followed him.
After walking for less than a cup of tea, the two finally saw a cave. The entrance was not wide, and it was so dark inside that it was difficult to see anything.
"Is this it?" Chai Yan asked Shangguan Peining.
Shangguan Peining replied excitedly: "That's right, it's right here, it's all about the fresh smell of human blood!"
Hang Baiqiu was about to take a step towards the cave, but was pulled back by Chai Yan.
"What's wrong?" Hang Baiqiu asked puzzled.
Chai Yan whispered: "Be careful, there is something weird in there!"
Hang Baiqiu frowned immediately and stared at the dark hole with increased vigilance.
Chai Yan carefully took two steps forward, and after getting a little closer to the entrance of the cave, he shouted loudly: "Come out, I've seen people!"
In fact, Chai Yan didn't see anyone, his move was just to deceive the other party.
When the words fell, Hang Baiqiu also took out the dagger and held it in his hand, ready to face the enemy.
Chai Yan's idea at this time was that there should be some bandits hiding in this cave. The women on the road just now, as well as the fresh smell of human blood mentioned by Shangguan Peining, were all the work of the people inside.
But there was no sound inside the cave, instead there was an eerie silence.
Chai Yan called twice more, but the result was the same, no one answered.
"Okay! If you don't want to come out, then don't blame me for being rude!"
After Chai Yan finished shouting, he stepped back and said to Hang Baiqiu: "Sir Hang, let's get some haystacks and burn them for them to smoke out!"
"Okay!" Hang Baiqiu responded immediately, turned around and ran to pull weeds nearby.
After a while, there was a pile of weeds outside the cave entrance. Chaiyan deliberately found some dry branches and leaves that were easy to burn, took out the fire stick and started to light the fire...
It had just rained yesterday, and most of the grass nearby was wet, so soon, thick smoke came out of the haystack in front of Chai Yan. The wind happened to be in the right direction, and all the smoke went into the hole.
Chai Yan fanned the wind with his hand and shouted: "Now I will give dozens of blows, and if he comes out within ten blows, I will spare his life. If he comes out after counting ten blows, he will all die!"
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Chai Yan shouted at the top of his lungs while tending to the fire.
"....five, four, three...."
Hang Baiqiu held the dagger and stared at the entrance of the cave, just waiting for the bandit inside to run out so that she could go up and kill him!
Just when Chai Yan was about to count to "one", the sound of a woman coughing suddenly came from the cave, and there was more than one woman coughing.
Hang Baiqiu was startled and turned to look at Chai Yan: "No, there is a woman inside!"
Chai Yan was just wondering if some bandits had hijacked women and were hiding inside. Suddenly, several women ran out of the hole, covering their mouths and noses...
The next moment, a woman's anxious voice shouted in the cave: "Come back, come back quickly... Don't go out, you can't go out!"
