【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Yuan Zhongxin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a suspicious tone: "Have you seen him? Could it be a mistake? These bandits roam around remote villages and towns all year round. How could you have seen him?"

Wang Kuan couldn't think of anything after much deliberation. After Jing Yuan Zhongxin said this, he also felt that he must have remembered it wrong, so he didn't bother with it anymore.

Yuan Zhongxin, who had his back turned to Wang Kuan, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly cursed in his heart, almost being spotted by him!

The six of them just sat in the open space. Although it was already past noon, the sun was still high. The six of them were almost burning incense under the sun, and their emotions gradually changed from the initial anxiety to helplessness. with impatience.

Wei Yanei was the first to erupt. He raised his voice and yelled at the bandits: "Your uncle! You want to kill or cut or want fame and fortune, you should give me a word! I have never seen someone die in the sun when I grow up." Yes! Can you have a snack?!"

The bandits didn't seem to understand what Wei Yanei was shouting, they looked at each other and looked away, turning a deaf ear to Wei Yanei's words.

Yuan Zhongxin licked his dry lips, and said to Wei Yanei: "Yanei, maybe it will work if you reveal your identity."

Wei Yanei's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Well, you can try it." Yuan Zhongxin suggested.

"Hello!" Wei Yanei let out a deafening cry, waking up the drowsy Xiaojing, "Master, I am the son of Wei Zhuoran, the former Taiwei of the Great Song Palace, the only son! Do you know what an only son is? !"

Yuan Zhongxin couldn't hold it back for a while, and burst out laughing, calf?

Wei Yanei ignored Yuan Zhongxin's reaction, and continued to shout: "As long as you let us go, how about I ask my father to send you 100 taels of gold?! I am his only son, I yelled , he will definitely agree!"

Just as Wei Yanei finished shouting, there was the sound of steady and dragging footsteps. The six of them looked along the source of the sound, and what they saw was a short, fat, middle-aged man. His right eye was covered by a black cloth, and his clothes were torn. It was tattered, with a bong in his mouth, and he smoked it for a while. He gave Wei Yanei, who was still barking loudly just now, a bad look in his eyes. His voice was very unpleasant, like a duck singing: "You say Are you the son of Wei Zhuoran, the captain in front of the palace?"

Wei Yanei was frightened by the menacing one-eyed bandit, and subconsciously looked at Yuan Zhongxin. The latter nodded to him, motioning him to continue. Wei Yanei took a deep breath, pretending to be calm: "Yes."

The one-eyed bandit stared at Wei Yanei without saying a word, as if he was considering whether he should believe his words.

Wei Yanei was so stared at by him, he raised his head and said, "I am really his son! As long as you follow me back to Kaifeng, I will have a way to prove it!"

Zhao Jian rolled his eyes, you know how to bargain and let the bandits follow you back to Kaifeng?Did you use them all as bodyguards?

The one-eyed bandit seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed out loud. The laughter was extremely ear-piercing and unpleasant, and he stopped after a while. He looked directly into Wei Yanei's eyes, and asked viciously: "You let me Back to Kaifeng with you?"

It's over, it's over, this silly boy is over.

Wei Yanei was frightened by his gloomy and cold look, and his aggressive aura just now withered away instantly, Wei Yanei swallowed, his voice trembling: "No... can't you...?"

Everyone: "..."

The one-eyed bandit laughed again, and he reached out and patted Wei Yanei's hair crown: "Yes!"

Crowd: ? ? ?

Wei Yanei thought he was joking, and asked in a daze, "What?"

The one-eyed bandit smiled sinisterly: "Didn't you tell us to go back to Kaifeng with you to get the gold? Let's start now! Brothers, let's go!" He raised his short hand, and the bandits automatically moved out of the way, and the troika walked away. Qi appeared in everyone's sight, and one of them was actually the one that Wang Kuan and the others sat in.

Just now, the three big men appeared in front of the six people again, and pulled Yuan Zhongxin and the others one by one to the carriage again.

Zhao Jian and the others looked at the scene in disbelief, thinking they were dreaming, and they were dying just now, so they let them go now?

Wei Yanei grabbed the frame of the carriage desperately, and refused to get in the carriage, saying, "Are you sure you are sending us back to Kaifeng? Didn't you take us to some remote place to silence you?!"

One of the big men put his foot on the wheel of the carriage impatiently, scaring Wei Yanei from hugging Xue Ying who was next to him: "If you tell you to go up, go up, talk so much, believe it or not, I'll cut your tongue off!"

At this time, the mist in the bodies of the six people has almost subsided, and their strength has recovered a lot, but they are still short of fighting with this group of people. With the support of Wei Yanei, Xiao Jing got into the carriage first, Then came Wei Yanei, Xue Ying, and Zhao Jian.

Yuan Zhongxin turned his head to call Wang Kuan, but found that the latter was still staring at the tall and thin bandit with unfathomable eyes. Get on the carriage: "Wang Kuan, don't look, let's go!"

Wang Kuan turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhongxin meaningfully, his eyes were like a pool of unfathomable autumn water, which made Yuan Zhongxin inexplicably faint, Wang Kuan asked loudly: "Zhongxin, are you really captured by them? "

Yuan Zhongxin only felt his right eyelid twitch again, the kind of twitch that couldn't stop.

He just knew it!Wang Kuan must have guessed something!

Wang Kuan didn't get into the carriage, but turned around and walked towards the tall and thin bandit. The big man rushed towards Wang Kuan with his fists in the air, and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

But Wang Kuan didn't hide, he looked at the flying fists coldly, he was sure that these so-called bandits dared not attack them at all!

The people in the carriage heard the commotion outside, opened the curtain, and saw this scene: the fist of the big man stopped in front of the bridge of Wang Kuan's nose, only a finger away, and Wang Kuan looked at the big man indifferently, and Unmoved, Yuan Zhongxin stared at Wang Kuan with his arms folded, his eyes were unclear.

Zhao Jian turned pale with shock, jumped out of the carriage and rushed to Yuan Zhongxin's side: "What are you doing?!"

Yuan Zhongxin raised his hand, but the big man retracted his fist, his tone was helpless: "Wang Kuan, follow me back to Kaifeng, won't you?"

Hearing what he said, the latter understood that all these things were planned by Yuan Zhongxin, Wang Kuan shook his head: "The task assigned by Lu Zhangyuan has not been completed yet, since I accepted it, I just returned empty-handed. Destroy the way of a gentleman." Wang Kuan's voice is very gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze, but Yuan Zhongxin knows him very well, no matter how gentle he is, if Wang Kuan is firm in his mind, let alone three carriages here, ten carriages will I can't pull him.

Yuan Zhongxin let out a long sigh, only feeling a terrible headache, only Yuan Zhongxin knew how dangerous Qinghe Town was, no matter how smart and martial arts the six of them were, they were just students from the secret pavilion, and they came here to deal with it This is just nonsense.

I wanted to scare them away with the haunted rumors, but I didn't expect Wang Kuan to see through after all.

Zhao Jian and the others looked bewildered, so why did this whole thing happen now?

Yuan Zhongxin put his hands around his mouth and shouted towards the sky: "Old thief!"

Zhao Jian and the others were dumbfounded, their minds were shocked.

Zhao Jian was the first to react, and she exclaimed: "Yuan Zhongxin! These are all your faults?!"

Xue Ying Xiaojing in Wei Yamen: "What?!"

The rumors that Qinghe Town is haunted are not rumors made by Yuan Zhongxin. In fact, there have been many shocking things from there a year ago, but no one knows what it is. All Yuan Zhongxin knows is his brother Yuan Boji. He told him that all the young people who went out to look for jobs in Qinghe Town returned to Qinghe Town overnight. Many people went to investigate, but in the end, they all ended up missing and no news.

Thus, the rumors of Qinghe Town being haunted spread like this, but in order to prevent the people from falling into panic, the officials ordered people to block the news. The rumors of Qinghe Town only existed in some remote towns, and Kaifeng was far away, so the news spread quickly. Let it go.

So, what Wang Kuan and the others heard from the village chief last night was not all false. The old people inside had indeed died, and no one had ever entered or left Qinghe Town, let alone dared to go to Qinghe Town—— In their eyes, Qinghe Town is already a ghost town, and whoever goes there will die.

As for that village, it was originally an abandoned village. The sights that Wang Kuan and the others saw before nightfall were all specially decorated by the old thief's hooligans, in order to make them mistakenly think that there is really a haunted place, so that they can cry. They wanted to quit, and returned to Kaifeng.

Unexpectedly, Wang Kuan and others didn't want to leave at all, they just wanted to find another place to settle down, so the rogues had to dress up as bandits, arrest Wang Kuan and the others first, and make another decision when Yuan Zhongxin arrived.

Yuan Zhongxin knew that they were difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, so he had to take Wang Kuan and the others back to Kaifeng by asking for a ransom from the bandits.

Wei Yanei bit the apple in his hand, and yelled while chewing: "So you did this just to tell us to go back to Kaifeng?!"

Yuan Zhongxin leaned against a tree and did not respond.

Wei Yanei was startled by Yuan Zhongxin's brain circuit: "Why do you want us to go back and do so much effort? Just say no?!"

He just said, growing up so big, he had never seen bandits who dared to follow the hostages home to get the ransom—not so much to escort them back to get the money, but rather to escort them back to Kaifeng.

Yuan Zhongxin snorted coldly, and looked at Wang Kuan beside him angrily. His meaning was self-evident. If he said it directly, what are the chances that they would be obedient and return to Kaifeng?

Knowing that Yuan Zhongxin was protecting them, Zhao Jian and others couldn't get angry, and secretly thanked them in their hearts.

Wang Kuan smiled lightly, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Yuan Zhongxin with a tenderness that he had never thought of, even though the latter didn't want to look at him at all.

Xue Ying raised her hand suddenly.

The old thief nodded to indicate that he could ask questions.

"Last night, how did the village chief and the old lady disappear?"

This was also a question that bothered Zhao Jian and the others, and they all stared at the old thief curiously.

Old thief: "What places did you search that night?"

Wang Kuan replied: "We only searched the kitchen, but I can confirm that the place where the village chief and the old woman can go is definitely not outside the house or other places upstairs."

Time is limited, and they have to be silent, so it is impossible for them to run far.

The old thief nodded, admitting that what Wang Kuan said was reasonable, and then he smiled mysteriously: "Actually, there is a place right in front of you, but you have selectively ignored it."

Xiaojing tilted his head in confusion: "Where?"

The old thief pointed to the top of his head out of thin air.

sky?

At this time, Yuan Zhongxin, who had been silent all the time, shook the wicker in his hand and said casually, "On your heads."

That night, the village head and the old woman actually hid above them, staring at Wang Kuan and his party in the dark, until they left the house and disappeared from his sight.
