Chapter 8783 Five Mysterious People
Wanghai County, Changping Village.
No need to be reminded by Hongxiu, Yang Ruoqing actually noticed what was on the other side of the road when she was just on the wall.
The main road was built by Yang Ruoqing, who took over half of Yang Yongxian's repair work a few years ago, spent a lot of money on it, and built a nearly five-meter-wide stone road leading to Qingshui Town.
From Changping Village to Qingshui Town, it is a little over ten miles one way. Yang Ruoqing built this road for ten miles. Basically, he built a special route from Changping Village to Qingshui Town. Along the The villages on the left and right along this road all benefited.
At this moment, at the end of the road, within the sight of the two of them, there were four or five black figures coming towards this direction quickly.
"Sister, those people are so strange. They obviously came in a carriage, but they still wanted to park the carriage where they were and walk over by themselves. What does this mean?" Hongxiu asked again in a low voice.
Yang Ruoqing also couldn't understand this situation.
You said that if you are coming from the town or from another village, since there are carriages and the road is not meters wide and is made of bluestone, even if it rains, it will not The wheels of the cart were stuck in the mud.
Besides, it hasn’t rained yet and the ground is very dry. Why do you have to park the carriage there and walk the remaining mile or so by yourself?
Aren't you tired from walking? So what do you need a carriage for?
Also, it was almost early in the morning. These people entered the village without lighting torches or lanterns. They walked quietly in the dark, with the moonlight above their heads being their only source of light.
"Their walking posture is so light, tiptoeing, as if they are afraid of disturbing others, and they are sneaky." Yang Ruoqing analyzed the other party's walking posture.
"Sister, are you here to steal things?" Hongxiu asked.
Because there had been a similar theft incident in Changping Village before, and it was also disguised as a ghost, which made people panic.
"Stealing something? Probably not." Yang Ruoqing squinted her eyes and observed the figures approaching here.
"Could it be bandits or robbers coming to check the place?" Hongxiu came up with a new guess.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but want to laugh, "Your awareness of safety hazards is really not weak, but it shouldn't be that bad."
"Sister, who do you think they are? It is impossible for a normal person to enter the village so quietly at night!" Hongxiu tightened her cloak and asked again.
On a night that was so cold that dripping water turned into ice, she risked her life to accompany Junzi on errands, but what was the reason for those people? Hongxiu can’t figure it out!
"It's such a cold night, wouldn't it be good to hide in a warm bed and sleep?" She couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
Because these people sneaked into the village, her and Sister Qing'er's plans had to be put on hold temporarily, and they could only hide in the corner and spy.
"Sleeping under the covers?" Yang Ruoqing caught Hongxiu's words, took a deep breath, and raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had thought of something.
Hongxiu did not disturb her thoughts, because Hongxiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the moving black figures in front of her eyes.
Those people have arrived near the Luo family yard. Their pace seems to be very urgent, but at the same time they are very cautious.
Yang Ruoqing also spoke up again at this time: "Take out the one guarding the carriage over there. What I saw when entering the village were three women and two men."
Hongxiu nodded, "That's what I saw too. , there is a woman who looks a bit older, she must be almost fifty?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "I look familiar to that woman, I think I have seen her somewhere."
< br>The other party is definitely not from Changping Village, but where have I seen him? Yang Ruoqing couldn't remember it for a moment.
Seeing that the five people over there had come over, Yang Ruoqing and Hong Xiu paused their conversation. They ducked down and successfully avoided the probing eyes of those people. After a while, they raised their heads again, I found that the five people were walking towards the village and were almost crossing the pond. Yang Ruoqing's eyes were burning, and there was no trace of sleepiness at all: "Let's go, let's follow and take a look."
Hongxiu nodded.
The two followed the few people through the pond. When they arrived under the old maple tree, the five people in front stopped. They touched their heads together and seemed to be discussing something in a low voice.
Yang Ruoqing and Hongxiu are both practicing masters, and their ears are different from ordinary people. They both listened with their ears bent.
But I heard one of the middle-aged men ask the eldest woman: "Sister, are you sure my brother-in-law is really hiding in Changping Village?"
The older woman gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, that old guy is not serious at his age and has a house full of children and grandchildren. I beat him several times and he still argued with me!"
"Now we are here!" We need to catch him and see how he can still argue!"
"Sister, where should we go next? This village is too big and we have never been here before, right?" the man asked again.
The older woman looked around, as if looking for something on the ground, and then she pointed in one direction: "He went over there, let's go!"
A few times The individual turned around and headed somewhere south of the village.
Behind them, Yang Ruoqing and Hongxiu also leaned out, looking suspiciously at the direction they were walking away.
"That direction is also the direction we want to investigate. Is it a coincidence?" Yang Ruoqing said to herself.
Hongxiu said: "Ignore that for now, let's hurry up and take a look."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, and the two hit it off and followed in a tacit understanding.
The few people talked in low voices as they walked, and stopped from time to time outside the small yards of the houses on the roadside as if to identify something.
He shook his head and nodded for a while, and finally, he went all the way to the south of the village and arrived outside the courtyard of Heifeng's house.
The previously hesitant woman pointed to Heifeng’s yard and told the two men and two women behind her with great certainty: “This is it, I’m sure!”
< br>One of the middle-aged men had already begun to roll up his sleeves and cursed through gritted teeth: "Damn it, my slap is already itchy!"
Another younger man said to the middle-aged man with a sad face: "Uncle, that is my father after all, please don't be so harsh!"
The middle-aged man stared at the young man, "Your father has done something wrong to your mother, and you still plead for him? Do you have a conscience? Can you handle your mother?"
The young man looked at the older woman with guilt on his face.
The remaining two middle-aged women whispered to the side: "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's go in quickly and catch them. Don't let them escape!"
Others They all nodded in unison, and then the young man climbed over the wall of Heifeng's house, went in, opened the wooden bolt behind the courtyard door for them, and let them into the courtyard.
Not far away, Hongxiu looked at the courtyard wall of Heifeng's house, expressing confusion.
“Sister Qing’er, look, other people’s courtyard walls have tried their best to heighten and strengthen them, just to prevent anyone from climbing in. Why is the Heifeng family’s courtyard wall the other way around? ? It’s so easy to climb!”
