Chapter 66 Encountering Robbers on the Road

Xue Banxian grabbed the cake and ate it with a big mouthful, and said in a vague manner: "Who was robbed again? You girl, you are talking nonsense."

  "Really?" Jiang Tangtang said: " What's wrong with your clothes?"

  The last time she went to the city, she obviously bought him new clothes and replaced his clothes that were torn like strips of cloth.

  But this time, the new clothes she bought him were in disrepair again.

  Moreover, his clothes were damaged in many places, obviously scratched by swords.

  A trace of guilt flashed in Xue Banxian's eyes, and after a moment he said: "What could be going on? I met a wild boar in the mountains and got scratched while running away."

  He jumped onto the donkey drive impatiently: "You little girl , and you are still taking care of me. If you leave, it will be dark if you don't leave."

  He obviously didn't want to say more, and Jiang Tangtang didn't ask again.

  Anyway, even if he was being chased, she wouldn't be afraid. Didn't they encounter several assassinations along the way? We are already in trouble anyway, so we don't need to worry about one more.

  But before Xue Banxian's trouble came to her door, she encountered trouble first.

  When she was driving to Zhounanzhuang, a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

  Several big men covered their faces with rags and held swords in their hands. They said in a rough voice: "Leave the things in the car."

  "What if I don't put them down?" Jiang Tangtang's face remained motionless, but his hands were stretched out. She turned to the bag, which contained the small crossbow that Lu Shiyan had given her this morning.

  The man opposite laughed loudly and said: "If you don't want to, then you can stay here and let me live happily!"

  Jiang Tangtang sneered and said: "I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

  "Brother, don't talk nonsense to this bitch. Let's grab it first," one of the men said.

  The leading man waved, and the men behind him swarmed over.

  Jiang Tangtang suddenly pressed the crossbow in his hand. At the same time, Xue Banxian suddenly took out a bag of powder and threw it at several men.

  These men did not take Jiang Tangtang, a woman, and Xue Banxian, a thin old man, seriously at all, and they did not expect that the two would fight back.

  Therefore, even though Jiang Tangtang's crossbow was very inaccurate, he still shot one person.

  Xue Banxian's technique of sprinkling the powder was very accurate. Most of the men were stained by the white powder he sprinkled.

  I don't know what kind of medicine the powder was. The man who got it fell to the ground in pain instantly, curled up on the ground and howled like a maggot.

  Jiang Tangtang's eyes widened and she gave Xue Banxian a thumbs up, "I didn't expect you have such a hand, it's amazing!"

  But what she didn't expect was that Xue Banxian's eyes also widened, with surprise, surprise, and even... A bit timid look.

  Jiang Tangtang was baffled by his reaction.

  "It's our brothers who are too blind to see the mountains. Please spare your lives and give us some antidotes!" The

  leading man was shot in the arm by Jiang Tangtang's crossbow. Blood was gushing out, but he didn't know what to do. He didn't care, his face was twisted and he was scratching at his body, as if he was enduring great pain.

  Although the cloth covering their faces had long been rubbed off, Jiang Tangtang had no impression of them. He said with a cold face: "Then tell me first, where are you from? Who sent you here?"

  Man He said: "Master, we are the villagers from the nearby village. No one sent us here. We are just too hungry and want to get some food. We really don't have any ill intentions."    

  Jiang Tangtang said with a smile: "You all want to steal my food, and you still say you don't have any malice? What is malice in your mind? Is it malice to kill people?" As

  she said this, her eyes fell on the sword on the ground again, and she jumped After getting off the donkey cart, he picked up a sword and looked it over. He put the sword on the big man's neck and made two gestures: "Ordinary villagers would have such sophisticated swords? Are you lying? Why don't you tell me honestly? Who sent you here?"

  "It's really just the nearby villagers. We picked up these swords."

  The leading man almost cried, and wailed and explained: "There will be a disaster this year, and the higher-ups will also increase taxes. , we had no choice but to come up with this idea. This is the first time we have made a wrong idea, please forgive us."

  Several other men also agreed, saying that what he said was true.

  Jiang Tangtang still didn't believe it, "Swords are so easy to pick up?"

  She suspected that several people were related to the murderer who assassinated them on the road.

  "Really, a few of us accidentally discovered it in a cave yesterday. There are many more inside. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see it."

  The man had veins popping out on his forehead and said in pain: "I just ask the master to save us." With the poison on our body, we really won't dare to do evil next time."

  Jiang Tangtang said: "It's such a coincidence? You found the sword yesterday, and you happened to meet me when I came back from shopping today? Are you here to rob me?"

  "I heard Kenjing. A few men from the village said it. They said that the criminal who came to Nanzhuang is a rich man."

  The man said twitchingly: "Not only do you have cattle and donkeys, but there are also servants who help to open up wasteland, you don't look down on the man with Zhuang's hair. For food, we went to the city to buy delicious food ourselves. It was said that the woman from that family had gone to the county town early in the morning and didn't know what to buy. We overheard our thoughts and decided to take the risk."

  Jiang Tangtang said: "Where is the cave? Please point me to see it."

  "It's on the top of the mountain behind our village. If you go over here, you will see a crooked-neck tree and go left..."

  The man picked up the Jiang Tangtang was told about the mountain top of Daojian. Jiang Tangtang estimated it and felt it was not far away, so he planned to go and see it in person.

  "Doctor Xue, please wait for me here. I'll come over and take a look." Jiang Tangtang handed the donkey cart to Xue Banxian and said.

  "You little girl..." Xue Banxian hesitated, but it was better to say: "Go back quickly before you bother me."

  "I bought a lot of delicious food today and will cook it for you tonight." Jiang Tangtang said, grabbed a few oranges from the carriage, and said to him: "Eat some oranges first to kill the time."

  Of course these are sugar oranges in the space, and she plans to take advantage of today's trip to the county to eat them generously. Take it out and eat it with your family.

  So after I bought my groceries and took rice, grains and other things out of the space, I put a basket of sugar oranges in the carriage. I just happened to take them out to coax the little old man.

  Xue Banxian took a bite of a sugar orange and instantly had no complaints at all.

  Jiang Tangtang followed the path pointed by the man and found several boxes of swords in a secret cave.

  Jiang Tangtang couldn't figure out who hid the swords in the cave and what they wanted to do...

  If she didn't understand, she didn't think much about it and simply put all the boxes of swords into the space.

  No matter what, the person who secretly hid the sword in the cave must not have had any good intentions.
