As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

At night, the foot of the mountain was so quiet that not a single human voice could be heard. Apart from the occasional bird calls, the silence was eerie.

Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his wife sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt.

He quietly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and took some pork jerky that his wife had given him to eat on the way.

He simply opened the package, stuffed it into his pocket and walked out. In his pocket was the stun gun that his wife had repeatedly told him to bring.

He chose a sickle as his weapon, and went out lightly equipped to meet everyone at the village entrance.

All ten people arrived one after another. Their route started from the village entrance and patrolled the walls of every household to see if there were any unusual noises.

After confirming that everything is correct, go to the next one.

After searching the entire village from the village entrance to the foot of the mountain, they would walk back to the village entrance to hand over to the next team.

Each team has a captain who is the most reliable person.

The team leader must have the courage to lead the team, and also be careful and responsible to ensure that every household is checked carefully and nothing is missed.

Naturally, he was the one in Chen Yan's team. He led the team in front with a torch in hand and a sickle in his right hand. He looked very powerful and majestic when he stood there.

The people who followed him couldn't help but straighten their chests and felt that they were much more powerful.

Why are you afraid of bandits? You have a sickle and I have a hoe. If they dare to come, I will kill them!

They shouted, "Let's go on patrol! Don't let those evildoers enter our village!"

"go!"

Everyone shouted and began to patrol door to door.

Aunt Fat was so frightened when she heard the chaotic shouts, and she shuddered and muttered while smacking her lips.

"These guys are scared as hell during the day, but they are very lively at night and make so much noise that people can't sleep."

After saying that, he turned over and continued to sleep soundly, but the village chief next to him couldn't sleep.

He was probably the one who couldn't sleep the most in the whole village because he didn't know the truth about the bandits' murder.

I just felt that the officers and soldiers would come to my door if something happened in my village.

That's a matter of losing your head!

I slept restlessly the whole night, fearing that I would hear news the next morning that someone's family member had passed away...

Two hours later, when Chen Yan led his team back to the village entrance to hand over to the next team, he did not find anything unusual. After the handover, everyone went back to sleep.

........

The terrain of Changnan County is mainly mountainous, and most of the official roads are built in the mountains and forests.

From Yulin Village to Lingshui Village, there is a section of official road that is not straight and easy to travel on, but rather winding.

On the small hillside at one of the bends, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see that there were eight or nine men in black hiding in the woods.

They sat on the ground in the woods without even lighting torches.

Like a ghost in the mountains, it quietly disguises itself as calm, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

In the team, a short and fat man among the men in black suddenly choked on the dry food he was chewing, and the thin man next to him glanced at him coldly.

Suddenly there was a slap on the back.

The fat man felt as if his internal organs were about to break apart, and he vomited out the dry food stuck in his throat.

He jumped up in frustration and yelled, "Old Five, you're going to beat me to death!"

"Fat!"

A man in black in the middle of the tree suddenly spoke up to stop him.

The man had a pair of eagle eyes, staring at people could make people feel creepy. The area under his eyes was covered with a black scarf, making it difficult to see his appearance.

The fat man shouted in grievance, "Boss, we have been here for a whole day, how long do we have to stay here?"

"It's bad enough that we can't even start a fire. There's not even a river in this broken place. My brothers will either starve to death or die of thirst."

A younger man in black in the team heard the fat man speak and echoed him.

"Yeah, boss. You said that during the day, I was almost dying of pissing, but you wouldn't let me go just because someone was passing by."

"Do we need to be so cautious? We are bandits!"

From last night till now, there has been no water for 12 hours. Although this group of people are bandits in the village, only the boss and a few others are really enduring.

The rest were all peasants who were used to burning, killing and looting on their own small plots of land. They had always lived happily as they pleased and had never felt so aggrieved.

After hearing what the fat man said, people's hearts began to waver.

The eagle-eyed man glanced at him and said calmly, "We are taking money from others and helping them get rid of their misfortunes. We haven't finished our work yet."

After saying that, without even looking at the fat man, he closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk to rest.

The fat man didn't dare to do anything more when seeing this. He could only squat down and eat his dry food.

At this time, the second-in-command of the team said, "Okay, it's late at night and there's not many people around, so you can go find some water nearby."

"Come back and gather before dawn, or you know what will happen!"

He glanced sideways at the Hawkeye man, and seeing that he didn't move, he knew that the boss tacitly agreed.

There always has to be one bad guy and one good guy in a team, right?

After hearing this, several people nodded happily, "Don't worry, second brother, we have it in mind."

The fat man responded slickly, "The boss said that you should take money from others to help them get rid of their misfortunes. Hehe, I, the fat man, will definitely do my job well."

There were nine people in the team. Except for the eldest, the second and the fifth who stayed on the mountain, the other six came down the slope and discussed where to find water on the side of the road.

A few people wanted to follow the bend to see if there was a river, but the fat man was different. He had a dark mind. When he passed by here yesterday, he knew there was a village next door.

He wanted to pull the young man in black who had just spoken over there, and the others watched him walk in the opposite direction and ignored him, all of them just kept walking forward.

Seeing them walking away, the fat man gave an evil smile and raised his eyebrows at the young man in black, looking so greasy.

"Sixth Brother, come on, I'll take you to have some fun!"

Lao Liu felt a little scared when he saw that he had been separated from the main group.

He wanted to turn back and follow them, but the fat man pulled him back by the collar. He was not as strong as the fat man, so he could only struggle and beg for mercy.

"Fat brother, we can't fall behind. Second brother said we should go back when we find water. If we don't go back, we will be beheaded."

"Tsk! Look at how cowardly you are. It's still three or four hours before daybreak. What are you afraid of? You can walk to the next village in half an hour."

"Don't you want to taste this girl from down the mountain? Hehehe."

As the fat man spoke, he held his belly and laughed obscenely.

Lao Liu was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that the fat man was going to look for a woman, he became a little bit evil and pretended, "Isn't this bad?"

The fat man could tell at a glance that the boy was pretending, but he didn't expose him. "What's wrong with that? Haven't you done enough of this?"
