Chapter 176: Lure the Bandits into a Trap
“My dear grandson, you can scold those unpromising things as much as you want.
Your grandpa will take care of everything for you, they won’t dare to do anything.
Just let them live."
Wu Yidao looked at Lin Shu pleadingly, because she was also his descendant.
I can't bear to see any of them die, but a little physical pain can teach them a lesson.
"Grandpa, as a junior, I dare not hit or scold them.
You have to be the one to handle this kind of thing. I'm afraid of being beaten up."
Lin Shu kicked the blame back to the old man. Of course, it was his job to discipline his descendants.
"Let's find a good place to stay first, so they can rest when they come."
"Okay, okay, listen to me, grandson. Let's set off now."
Wu Yidao nodded repeatedly and felt a little cold when he stopped.
The faster people caught up one after another and everyone ran forward in a race against each other.
The sky became completely dark as heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
Torches were lit to illuminate the way ahead.
...
Qingze Village.
There are more than fifty households scattered here, half of whom are refugees who have settled here.
Lin Hongyi knocked on the door of a courtyard with an oil lamp on, and after a while someone asked him questions carefully.
"Who is it?"
"Excuse me, where is the village chief's home?" Lin Hongyi asked in a mature tone.
"Go to the eighth house in the village, the blue brick and tile house is it."
Qin San glanced puzzledly at Da Huang who was in the doghouse and didn't make any noise.
When he heard footsteps leaving outside, he cursed at the silent Dahuang.
"You useless dog, you didn't even bark when someone came. I'll just skin you and eat your meat."
Da Huang was so thin that only a bag of bones was left. Two tears fell from his cloudy old eyes.
When there was no light in the yard, Dahuang staggered to his feet and crawled out of the dog hole.
Walking into the freezing cold snow.
...
Lin Hongyi found the village chief's house and rented two empty courtyards at the end of the village for five taels of silver.
There were obvious signs of activity in the yard, but fortunately every room had a kang.
And there is plenty of firewood, which seems to indicate that there are often people staying in the village.
Wu worked quickly to heat the kang and cook porridge, while the four brothers cleaned up two rooms.
Wu Yidao hadn't slept on a warm kang for several days and his body was unable to bear it.
As soon as the kang was heated up, I lay down on it. The warm feeling slowly dispelled the coldness in my body.
When the Lin family had eaten and drunk their fill and were lying on the warm kang after warming their feet, people behind them arrived one after another.
There was not even a shadow of the person walking.
Diligent people will boil a pot of water to soak the biscuits, while those who are too tired to move will just take a few bites of dry biscuits and squeeze into a random seat.
...
'Woo~'
Baozi leaned over to Lin Shu's ear and warned her.
She jumped up, put on her clothes quickly, and woke up the people on the kang one by one.
[Baozi, what's going on?]
[Master, there are more than twenty strangers coming down from the back mountain, and there is a smell of blood.]
【Oh my god. 】
After a few quiet nights, she almost forgot that there were such things as bandits in the world.
"Dad, there are bandits coming."
"You stay in the house, Dad will go and tell them to get ready."
Lin Erzhuang got off the kang quietly, and did not forget to pick up the knife beside the kang when he went out.
Lin Shu's words did not prevent the whole family from being on guard. When they heard the bandits approaching, they all became alert.
Staying in the house and passively getting beaten is not the character of their family.
They all took up knives and guns, quietly sneaked into the yard, and found a place to hide.
Baozi's eyes glowed green, and Lin Shu quickly covered his eyes.
I took the time to glance at the two creatures in the space, who were lying on their backs in the yard and sleeping soundly.
The little black cub goes to the pasture every day to drink milk and has grown a lot.
But it looks so silly and doesn't have the majesty of a tiger at all.
It always gives people a sense of vulgarity, just like a mouse stealing oil.
You learn from whatever you follow. A good tiger was taught to behave like a snake by a rat in hot water.
What a miscalculation!
...
In the dark yard, there was the rustling sound of snow and the heavy breathing of livestock.
The people hiding in the dark held their breath and stared everywhere with wide eyes.
The people in the house covered their mouths with quilts or hid under them and shivered.
'Crack, crack, crack~'
The sound of shoes rubbing against the snow was getting closer and closer, and when it was almost to the yard, they dispersed and surrounded it.
A dagger passed through the crack in the door and slowly lifted the bolt.
Lin Shu let go of Baozi and let it stare at her with bright eyes.
The wooden door was opened easily, and a dark shadow crouched down and entered.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw a pair of green eyes approaching.
Stunned...
A pair of huge hands suddenly appeared and broke his neck.
Then two dark shadows quickly took the body, lifted it to the side and put it down silently.
"Why don't you give a signal before going in?" someone outside the door muttered.
"No signal is good news, come in."
'Hu~'
More than ten torches were lit one after another, and the whirring sound of burning was close to my ears.
The wooden door was pushed open and people outside came in one after another.
Quickly deploy the formation and occupy an advantageous position.
Of course.
There was a knife or a gun at each position, pressing them back.
"I don't know which good man on the road is here, please let us go."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liangzi quickly gave in.
"Brother is willing to pay five hundred taels of silver, no... eight hundred taels of silver."
"Haha, getting rid of beggars!"
Lin Erzhuang thrust the knife in his hand forward and sneered.
"Tell me who tipped you off. Hand over the mastermind and I'll spare your life.
However, the redemption fee is one hundred taels of silver per person.
As for you, you have to pay five hundred taels of silver.
He sent two men back to get the silver, but after an hour the silver was nowhere to be found.
I will chop off one head every time I stick an incense stick, until I have chopped off all the heads.”
"Heroes, spare their lives, heroes, spare their lives!"
Liangzi wailed incessantly. Wasn’t he just going down the mountain to rob as a routine matter?
Where did the mastermind and so much money come from? Now they can only hope that another team can save them from the dire straits.
Seeing that he was hesitating and unwilling to agree, Lin Erzhuang said grimly.
"Cut one."
'Crack~'
One bandit was dragged out and beheaded without even making a sound.
All they heard was the sound of blood splattering, which frightened all the bandits to death.
"Boss, capture all of them alive. Eleven in total."
A steady voice came from the darkness, and this voice was like a death warrant to the bandits.
Because all their hopes were dashed.
"Good man, I will send someone back to get the ransom money."
Liangzi was so frightened that his body stiffened, and he quickly agreed.
"Heizi, Erniu, go back to the mountain to ask the master for 2,500 taels of silver. Go quickly and come back quickly!"
"Yes, Boss, you must wait!"
Heizi and Erniu received the order and crawled up the mountain.
...
A group of bandits were tied up and tied like a pillar in the yard.
The flickering incense slowly burns life.
The bandit stared at the incense in the bowl with wide eyes, not daring to breathe.
Uncle Wu San led his men to surround the bandits in a circle, and each of them held a shining big knife in his hand.
As the incense stick was about to burn out, the bandits became increasingly nervous.
He stared at the big knife in front of him, afraid that it would suddenly stab him.
