Chapter 27: Silence

The whole mountain was full of bandits patrolling back and forth with torches, and it was obvious that the two hits that had just come in the middle of the night really made them angry, and if it weren't for the fact that they really didn't know how many dangers were hidden in the darkness, I am afraid that these bandits would have already screamed and attacked the village.

The dim lights in the village dissipated, and if it weren't for the moon in the sky and a glimmer of light, I am afraid that if I left the range of the torch light, I would not be able to reach out and lose my fingers.

"The military advisor has an order, search the mountain quickly!" Several bandits in charge of heralding the order walked through the mountains and forests vigorously, and at a glance they knew that they were also people who had been in the mountains for a long time.

The thieves with torches cautiously groped their way forward, and these bandits obviously had boundaries, and every time they came to the stream below, they turned back and continued their search—as if the stream was their insurmountable taboo.

"As long as we can get to the creek, we can escape." Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to remove the branch in front of him, looking at the indicative fire in the darkness.

Because considering that the bandits would definitely focus on searching the mountains and forests on the west side and the north and south sides of the village, Li Xinchen and the others could only go around in a circle to the east and hide in a big tree on the east side of the mountain.

The old trees in the mountains are hundreds of years old, and unlike bamboo, they are tall and thick enough for four or five people to hide in the dense canopy. Now Li Xinchen took Seinfeld and Zheng Qing to the tree, while the other two young men stood guard on the north and south sides of the tree.

"It's not that easy to get back to the creek from here." Zheng Qing's attention also shifted from the shadow of shooting his two brothers before to the predicament he was facing now, "I'm afraid that these bandits don't hate us so much that they hate us, and the creek must be heavily defended." ”

Li Xinchen smiled bitterly: "So it's not so easy to rely on a few of us to run out now." ”

Zheng Qing and Song Fei were stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Xinchen together. Now that I can't rely on myself, it's even more foolish to want to rely on those bandits, so aren't they going to be trapped and die here? You must know that the bandits will definitely attack the village tomorrow morning, and they will not be able to do so then.

"Brother Chen, you won't say wait until dawn to leave, then it's too late!" Zheng Qing said a little anxiously, the death of the two brothers of the Zheng family made him not mention how much fire there was in his heart, and he had endured it all the time without killing two more thieves, if he could sneak back tomorrow morning, it would be too embarrassing.

Li Xinchen's voice was cold: "Do you think these bandits are all eating dry rice?" In the past, the enemy was clear and we were in the dark, and we were taken by surprise and unprepared, so we were able to take advantage of it, and now do you think these bandits who have come back to their senses will give us this opportunity? As for that military advisor, in the eyes of a certain person, he is not an easy character to deal with, and he must have wanted to break a few of us into pieces for a long time. ”

Pouting, Seinfeld said with some disdain: "But Brother Chen, don't you see that they don't dare to cross the stream until now?" ”

"That's because they don't know how many enemies there are in the dark, and if there are traps similar to before, so they don't dare to rush forward, after all, the scouts they sent were defeated by us, so now they are in the dark." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, breaking Seinfeld's beautiful illusion, "It's just that they don't want to pay a bigger price, after all, it won't be long before dawn, they can attack the village openly, and the people in the village can't run away, right?" ”

Seinfeld was stunned for a moment and sighed deeply, in this deep mountain and old forest, if you really want to escape for your life, how can you compare to these bandits?

"This is also what I have been worried about," Li Xinchen couldn't help but murmur, "The calmer and more patient these bandits are, the more difficult it is for them to deal with." If they had attacked the village in a hurry now, it would have been less threatening. ”

"But Brother Chen, we can't sit still here." Zheng Qing said anxiously, looking at Li Xinchen, his eyes were full of expectation. Because Li Xinchen has already created too many miracles, and he believes that this time Li Xinchen will still be able to lead them out of danger.

Li Xinchen raised his head slightly: "We couldn't save ourselves just now, but now we have a chance, look at it." ”

The shouts on the mountain became louder and louder, and the bandits who had been searching for the woods didn't know why, but they all turned around and ran back, and the long dragon of torches turned around at the junction of the bamboo forest and this wood, and the wind blew away the sound, and it was not clear what these bandits were shouting.

A moment later, the mountain forest once again fell into a silence as dark and deadly as death, and Zheng Qing and Seinfeld looked at each other, not knowing what Li Xinchen meant by the opportunity, let alone why these bandits said they were leaving.

It is surprising that the bandits walked to the creek and turned back because they were afraid that the villagers would not know more traps in front of them, but they did not go far in the direction of the village, and they also went back, which was really unexpected.

And after Li Xinchen said the sentence just now, he stopped making a sound, he didn't know what he was waiting for, the night around him was thicker, and even half of the moon in the sky was blocked by clouds, and now he really couldn't see his five fingers.

Although I don't know what Li Xinchen bought, Zheng Qing and Seinfeld still follow suit and keep quiet like Li Xinchen.

After a long time, a young man who was guarding below slowly climbed up, trying his best not to make a sound: "Brother Chen, they ······ They're coming! ”

Before the words fell, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and with the help of the faint starlight, Zheng Qing and Seinfeld looked at the scene and couldn't help but take a light breath. Two teams of bandits came out of the mountain forest at the same time, their steps were fast, the shaking blades in each of their hands flashed with cold light, and in front of them, another young man was running forward quickly, and for a while he couldn't care about climbing trees, so he could only run forward desperately.

"Ten people!" Zheng Qing said softly, and the two teams of bandits rushed under the big tree at the same time, forcing the young man to the bottom of the tree.

Li Xinchen nodded, his hand was raised suddenly, Zheng Qing and the three of them all looked down intently, Li Xinchen's gesture was a "hands-on" gesture used when hunting in the mountains, and the young people in the village naturally understood that although there were ten people below, it was obvious that this time Li Xinchen did not plan to watch from the wall.

Sometimes patience may be the best choice, but blindly patience will only lead to low morale on the side of their own people, not to mention that for Li Xinchen and them, there are not many people in the first place, and one less will be much less strength.

"Catch it alive!" The little leader of the bandits who led the team showed a hideous smile.

Almost at the moment when the little bandit leader finished saying this, Li Xinchen's hand waved down fiercely! With a loud roar, the short knife pierced the chest of the little boss, completely breaking the silence in the mountain forest.
