Chapter 160 The Trail of Bandits
Chapter 160 Traces of Bandits
Xiao Lan led seventy or eighty young adults from Furong Town, holding farm tools in their hands. These farm tools were the most convenient to use in their hands, and even the gangsters who robbed them also held these farm tools.
Robbery.
They just weren't on guard at that time, and the other party had a large number of people, so they swarmed up, so the people in Furong Town didn't react, so they snatched all these things away.
This kind of organized and premeditated robbery is very infuriating.
Xiao Lan quickly found the other party's rut marks, and it had just snowed heavily, so the traces of their passage had not been completely covered up.
There were deep and shallow footprints on the ground. Soon Xiao Lan determined the direction in which the gangsters left and followed the direction they left.
She followed the rut and found a mountain in front of it. There were some wooden houses in front of the mountain. They should be temporary houses built by the gangsters. There were shouts and shouts inside, as if they were training.
Xiao Lan asked everyone not to act and asked them to hide in a nearby place, because they saw an open space in front of them. If they go forward now, they will be discovered by the gangsters who are responsible for climbing up and looking into the distance, because there is a building in front of the wooden house.
The two-story wooden house is convenient for viewing.
Any movement in the open space in front will be discovered by the gangsters waiting on the two-story wooden house, which may allow some alert gangsters to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Xiao Lan decided to lead everyone to launch a sudden attack at night. There was still more than an hour before night, and everyone was patiently waiting for Xiao Lan's instructions.
When Xiao Lan settled everyone down, she took out some prepared food from the bamboo basket, including pancakes, scallion pancakes, and meat buns.
Although everyone had eaten just now, it took more than an hour to get here. It would still be some time until dark. After she handed the food to everyone, everyone ate it before moving on.
Xiao Lan put the food in her arms to prevent it from getting too stiff.
Seeing that Xiao Lan is so careful, everyone knows, why do people in the five villages recognize Xiao Lan so much?
They all regretted why they didn't go into the mountains with Xiao Lan, even if they were begging Xiao Lan. But there is no regret medicine in the world. They can only hope to get their food back as soon as possible so that they can live a better life.
This disaster year.
Xiao Lan asked everyone to wait here and went to the back of the wooden house to check. The gangsters built a house here. There should be other ways to leave and escape quickly.
Xiao Lan said goodbye to everyone, and then walked around the other side of the trail to the back of these wooden houses to investigate.
Unexpectedly, these wooden houses were built on a cliff. She walked to the edge of the cliff when no one was around, and found a rope tied to the tree trunk behind the house, and then hung down to the bottom of the cliff.
The back of the wooden house is a dangerous place, but it is also an escape place for gangsters.
She was very curious about the place under the cliff, so she climbed down along the rope.
Of course, there are people watching down the valley. It seems that the gangsters are very interested in this escape route.
Because just when she was about to land, she heard voices.
She no longer relied on the rope, but swung up on the rope. She gently jumped not far from the back of the person guarding her. Of course, the process was thrilling.
This is a valley. She walked carefully in this valley. It was actually very warm here. Compared to the ice and snow outside, it was as warm as spring.
There are some plants growing everywhere. In the mountain forests behind her house, most of the green plants have lost their leaves, but the plants inside are still green leaves. This makes Xiao Lan exclaim that what a great place it is!
She looked around and found that apart from the two people guarding the rope, there were actually people talking in the valley. She saw a wooden house not far away, and two people standing outside the house, who looked stronger. She guessed that these might be
He is the leader of the gangsters.
This made her have to be alert. She heard the two people talking, and then Xiao Lan held her breath and carefully identified what they said.
One of them said, "Have you collected enough food?"
Another person said, "Not yet, there is still a part left, but it can sustain the army for five days."
When Xiao Lan heard this, he wondered, were these gangsters from Dongling? Are they spies of those who were confronting Su Lie's army?
Those ordinary people should strengthen their training and not let them see any clues.
Another person said, "Yes, chief, I will strictly guard these people and prevent them from knowing our true identity."
The leader said, "It seems we still need to find more food. Are there any villages that have not been robbed?"
The other person replied, "There are also grains from Lijia Village and four nearby villages, but we didn't rob them. Because the people in these villages are considered to have strong folk customs in Furong Town, and there are many hunters, so we may not necessarily be able to steal from them.
With the food in hand, these ordinary people are no match for the hunters at their level!"
The leader said viciously, "We must grab food from those five villages. If we can't grab it, we will grab it. We must gather the food for the army for ten days as soon as possible, and bring our own people with us."
, If it doesn't work, I'll massacre the village first and then grab the food. Originally, I didn't want to cause a big problem by killing people, but these Xiachu people are really difficult to deal with! Our progress is too slow, and the general's people have already urged us several times.
Got it!"
"How are we going to transport the food we grabbed?" the man wondered. What everyone is short of now is not money, but food. I'm afraid they will be skinned and deboned by the refugees before they go out.
"The general will send people to pick them up. We need to control these Xiachu people, let them transport them out for us, and then join up with the general's people, and then kill these people to save food waste!"
"Then you lead everyone there tonight, and you must bring me all the food! Now let everyone eat, and move at night, wait until everyone in Xiachu falls asleep, and then start again. I will do it for the general.
Pioneer, hahaha!"
He licked his lips evilly, "I just saw a few women giving birth to babies with tender skin and tender flesh. Send them to me later!"
The man accepted the order and was about to leave and go back to the wooden house above.
At this time, a cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Hmph, it turns out you Dongling people are the ones behind this! You still want to massacre my fellow Xia Chu people. You deserve to be damned!"
The two people came together in surprise. The man who had just left stood in front of the leader, and the two looked around.
There was a sound of footsteps walking slowly in front of the two of them.
The two looked at the woman who appeared in front of them in horror, "Xiao Lan?"
Chapter completed!
