NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 97 Sneaking into the Village
Ning Xiao took out the pebbles and shot a dozen wild ducks in a row in just a few strokes. It seemed that the harvest was not small, and the frightened wild ducks had already entered the center of the pond and hid, so Ning Xiao did not intend to hunt again. , mainly because these ten or so wild ducks have enough to eat.
After putting the wild duck away, Ning Xiao was about to go back. He casually took a look at the already dark sky. Suddenly, he seemed to find a ray of fire in the mountain. Ning Xiao was stunned for a moment. It was very desolate here, but why was it in the mountain? Is there any light?
After thinking about it, Ning Xiao shook his head and walked back with a dozen wild ducks. When he arrived at the camping site, he said to Xiao Linzi who came up to him.
"Take it and go to the chef. Today we are all eating wild ducks. I didn't expect there to be so many wild ducks in the reeds in front."
Xiao Linzi was also very happy to see more than a dozen wild ducks. He had been on the road for several days and had only eaten dry food. He was really hungry for meat and quickly took the wild ducks.
"Sir, don't worry, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he picked up the wild duck and ran towards the camp cooking place without looking back. Ning Xiao went to the tent and was about to change his clothes. When he just caught those wild ducks, he didn't eat them. He beat them all to death and chose to knock them unconscious, but when he carried them back, a few wild ducks woke up, and one of them struggled and flapped its wings, so Ning Xiao's clothes were covered with mud.
After changing clothes and leaving the tent, the business owner came over and smiled.
"Oh, Mr. Ning is really awesome. These wild ducks are hard to catch. My hometown is a water town, and there are a lot of these wild ducks. We have been trying to catch wild ducks since we were young, but we don't have Mr. Ning's ability. Once That’s all we caught!”
Ning Xiao said a few polite words and chatted with the merchant about business. Suddenly he remembered the fire in the mountains he had just seen by the pond, and asked strangely.
"Shang Dongjia, do you know that there are people living in the mountains nearby, and I think the mountains are quite big!"
Speaking of this, Shang Dongjia opened up the conversation and said.
"Master Ning doesn't know. There are many rumors in this mountain. According to legend, there are ghosts in this mountain, especially at night. The fire is said to be a will-o'-the-wisp. Of course, I don't believe it. Let's go further from where we camp. There was a village a mile ago, but now the people in that village have moved away because that village once had that trouble, and I heard it scared people to death."
After hearing this, Ning Xiao realized why this place was so desolate. It is said that the land here is fertile and there are streams flowing from the mountains, which is very convenient for field irrigation. However, this place is so desolate. It turns out that this is the reason. , but Ning Xiao doesn't believe this. It seems that he can go and find out tonight.
Because that fire made Ning Xiao very strange. Even if it was a will-o'-the-wisp, it was not this kind of fire, because the color of a will-o'-the-wisp was not this color, and based on his own common sense, the will-o'-the-wisp was not something that could appear at this time. Judging from the knowledge I knew in the previous life, will-o'-the-wisps usually appear in summer, because the temperature is too high. However, it is still early spring in the north, and the weather is relatively cold at night, so there will be no will-o'-the-wisps anyway. of.
Then this matter was a bit strange, but Ning Xiao didn't say it out loud, but smiled.
"When did this start happening?"
The business owner also shook his head, "I don't know. Anyway, there was this rumor more than ten years ago. I had just started going out for business with my father at that time. When I passed by here for the first time, there seemed to be no such rumor. Two years later, I heard this rumor when I passed by here again.
At that time, I asked my father out of curiosity, but he didn’t say much. He just told me to watch more and talk less. I was still young at the time, so I was obedient and never asked again. Oh, I forgot to mention it. When I came here with my father, I lived in the village in front of me. Then when I came here, the village was deserted and there was no one left. "
Ning Xiao nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It seemed like these things were very strange!
The meal was ready, and everyone was very satisfied with the wild duck brought by Ning Xiao. Everyone in the caravan also suffered a lot from having to eat and sleep in the open. After the meal, the sky was completely dark. The owner of the business arranged Several people took turns to keep watch, watching over the group of robbers.
However, for the sake of safety, the Shang Dong family specially asked the chef to feed the gang of robbers duck soup with soft tendon powder. Now the group of robbers had no chance of escaping.
In the middle of the night, Ning Xiao opened his eyes. After sensing carefully, he got up softly and walked out of the tent towards the mountains not far away. It wasn't until he was far away from the camp that he used his speed power to quickly move towards Today I found the place of fire and ran away.
Why would Ning Xiao be suspicious? It was mainly because he met robbers today. Those robbers were robbing nearby, so their lair must be in the nearby mountains. Of course, this was just Ning Xiao's speculation.
After running along the mountain path towards the mountain for about a quarter of an hour, Ning Xiao had already reached the first hilltop. Mainly due to the existence of speed powers, Ning Xiao had already run to the first hilltop. He saw about ten dozen people. In a small team of people, two people were on duty at night, while the rest were snoring loudly and sleeping.
Ning Xiao was pressed for time and didn't waste any time. He stepped forward and stunned all these people, leaving only one person for interrogation.
I originally thought that it would take a lot of talking, but unexpectedly, the night watchman did all the tricks easily. This also made Ning Xiao sure that these people were with the group of robbers, and they were here. This is where robbers come out to rob.
Thinking of this, Ning Xiao directly crushed the necks of the other people who were stunned, and then escorted the night watch robber to the cottage. He was going to kill the cottage and eliminate harm for the people. Secondly, if you are lucky, you can make a small fortune.
In fact, the robbers' lair is not very far from the outside of the mountain. It is in the canyon between the first hilltop and the second hilltop. It is not clear what is going on in the canyon in the dark, but under the leadership of the night watch robbers, After getting off, we entered the canyon smoothly.
It wasn't that Ning Xiao wasn't worried about the night watch robber playing tricks, but because the skilled man was bold. Before entering the robber's stronghold, Ning Xiao pinched the robber's neck and then entered the stronghold. It was already late at night, close to the ugly hour, but there was still a room with a light on in the cottage.
Ning Xiao quietly approached the lighted room, looked in from the window, and found that two middle-aged men were talking, and there were two secret guards hidden around the house. Ning Xiao suddenly realized I'm afraid the identity of these people is not simple.
