Chapter 175 A sudden change occurred
The downhill road was easy to go on. They didn't need to push hard. They just held the handlebars and controlled the strength. They soon reached the bottom of the slope. Standing in a group was too conspicuous, so they spread out and hid close to the earth wall.
Xia Qingyue and Chen Yuzhen were squatting together, with a cart blocking the way, and a little further away was Han Zhibai.
Heihei stayed beside Xia Qingyue, his ears moving from time to time and his whole body on alert.
Xia Qingyue paid attention to the movements around her, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the muddy wheels of the car. She thought of something, and leaned forward slightly to look at the slope they were coming down.
The rain was still falling, but not as heavy as before. The falling rain wiped away the traces on the ground bit by bit. There were several lines of shallow marks on the slope, which were left by the wheels.
She bit her lower lip and prayed in her heart that it wasn't a human who came.
In an instant, the sound of footsteps made Xia Qingyue's heart sink.
The sound from the hill is getting closer:
An arrogant voice sounded: "Where are the people?"
Another person flattered, "Master, I really saw people who knew that girl. They were pushing a cart towards this side. I think they are nearby and haven't gone far."
"Then why are you still standing there? Go and look for it. Whoever finds it first will be rewarded with the rabbit I hunted today!"
Several people said in unison, excitedly: "Master, let's go find him right away."
Several people hiding in the dark heard the conversation and felt that the voice of the man called Young Master was very familiar. They gradually recognized that the man was someone they knew - Young Master Qian.
Among the few people, Li Weisheng had the ugliest expression. He pursed his lips, his eyes burned with rage, and he clenched the machete in his hand.
Qian Wentao's followers scattered around to search, and after searching for more than a quarter of an hour, Qian Wentao became impatient and was about to lose his temper.
An attendant passed by the slope and accidentally saw some traces on the ground. He stood there and looked for a while, then shouted happily to Qian Wentao: "Master, there are traces left by wheel wheels here. They walked this way."
Xia Qingyue and others in the dark gave each other murderous looks, while clenching their weapons tightly, ready to strike.
"Where?" Qian Wentao ran over impatiently.
Several other followers also came over when they heard the noise.
The follower pointed at his feet, and Qian Wentao saw it and laughed triumphantly: "Beauty, let's see where you can run this time!"
call out--
call out--
There were two sounds, and Xia Qingyue and Han Zhibai attacked at the same time, one arrow each.
An arrow hit the chest of the follower standing next to Qian Wentao, and the man fell to the ground.
Another arrow hit Qian Wentao in the abdomen.
The sound of the arrow was like a flare. The moment the Li family man heard it, he picked up his weapon and ran out, launching an active attack on the Qian family's master and servants who had not yet reacted.
The injured Qian Wentao saw this change, grabbed two followers to block in front of him, and shouted in anger: "Catch them all!"
After he yelled, he cried out in pain. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure across from him. His eyes widened immediately, and he ignored the pain for a moment, "Beauty!"
Xia Qingyue walked out from the darkness, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, aiming at Qian Wentao.
"My beauty, that thing is not fun. Be careful not to hurt yourself. Come here quickly." Qian Wentao was obsessed with beauty and showed what he thought was a handsome smile. However, his facial expression looked hideous and distorted because the injured part was too painful.
"Come quickly, we have met you in the town before. You must be having a hard time now. Come back with me. I guarantee you will have food and drink, and you will have a place to stay..."
The followers in front of him were beaten down one after another by the Li family men. Qian Wentao panicked. He kept backing away, raising his voice and threatening:
"You are so bold and unruly. Do you know who I am? I am Qian Zhongsheng's son. How dare you..."
With two whoosh sounds, two sharp arrows were shot out one after the other.
The arrow in front shot straight at Qian Wentao's chest, hitting him directly. His body swayed after being hit, causing the arrow behind him to miss and hit his shoulder blade.
boom--
Qian Wentao fell to the ground, and within a moment, there was a pool of blood under him that kept growing in volume.
Seeing that she had successfully shot Qian Wentao in the chest at the heart, Xia Qingyue put down the bow and arrow with relief.
All ten followers were dealt with by the men of the Li family and Han Zhibai who assisted them.
To be on the safe side, they dispersed to check whether all the masters and servants of the Qian family were dead.
"Woof woof woof!" the two little ones suddenly roared.
Han Zhibai sensed something was wrong, and knelt on one knee, his palm touching the ground. There was a slight tremor in his palm. He looked up and said to Xia Qingyue, "There is a group of people on horseback nearby!"
"Hurry up!" Xia Qingyue ran to push the cart.
They pushed the cart and followed Han Zhibai, leaving the place quickly.
More than a quarter of an hour later, a group of people hurried over. They were Guan Jianshan's men.
"That's Qian Wentao." The spy dismounted and ran to Qian Wentao to check his condition.
Zhao Gen, Li Danian and others went to check on the others.
“They are all dead.”
"Then how are we going to report back? Brother Shan is still waiting." Zhao Gen said in difficulty.
Li Danian squatted on the ground, moving his hand to remove the arrow that was stuck in one of his followers' body, his face looking a little ugly.
The spy took them to several places where Qian Wentao often hunted. They finally found the person, but he was dead. How could they report back?
Hua Hua Hua——
The drizzle suddenly became heavier and thunder roared in the sky.
"Brother Gen, Brother Danian, come and see, we have found something here." The spy walked to the slope.
By the time Zhao Gen and Li Danian passed by, all traces on the slope had been almost washed away by the rain.
The eyeliner walked up the slope and pointed in a direction, "There's more over there!"
"It's a wheelbarrow." Zhao Gen became alert and walked up the hill to look for it.
They followed the few remaining traces to the site of the collapse, where they found the dead Liu Yi and the empty cave that had been dug up.
"Someone took away the things. Who did it?" Zhao Gen stood in the cave, trying to find clues here.
"Qian Wentao and the others have run into trouble here. I guess they collided with each other. Damn, we are a step late!" Li Danian punched the earth wall, and a shallow arc-shaped pit was created under his fist.
Amid the rumbling thunder, the soaked eyeliner hurried into the cave, "Brother Gen, Brother Danian, he's alive, not dead. Qian Wentao is lucky. The arrow in his chest didn't hit his vitals, but was blocked by the heart guard. But he's in a very bad condition now, and he's bleeding a lot!"
"Hurry, take the people back for treatment, and leave half of them to follow me to track down the people who stole the things!" After saying this, Li Danian ran back to the place where Qian Wentao had the accident.
He assigned half of the men to carry Qian Wentao to the cave to meet up with Zhao Gen's spies, and he led the remaining half to conduct an on-site survey and prepare for tracking.
The heavy rain had already washed away all traces of where Xia Qingyue and the others had left off.
