This man was the reason why my uncle was in a hurry to leave the temple.

Shen Ge's mind was spinning, and his slightly childish face was full of disappointment, "Aren't you sent by the Hu family to pick up the wife? There is only Mrs. Hu on the mountain, not the master. Can't you take the wife back first?"

Nonsense! The man in gray continued to pry for information, "We are only picking up the master. If you can help find my master, I can pick you up as well and follow us to enjoy the hot food and drink."

I bother!

Shen Ge felt secretly sad in his heart, but his drooped eyebrows brightened up again, pretending to be surprised, "You really can take me away with you? Where are you going?"

The man in gray continued to coax, "Of course, but you have to help me find my master."

"Then we've settled! What's your master's name? There are several old men on the mountain, I don't know which one." Shen Ge continued to talk to the man in gray, stalling for time.

The man in gray just said, "My father's surname is Shen."

Shen Ge raised his hand to straighten the bamboo hat on his head, wondering, "Shen is the surname of our Haolian village. It is difficult to find someone with just one surname. Uncle, did you come here on your own? Is anyone coming with you to find Hu?" Madam? Madam Hu said her family would definitely send someone to pick her up, and promised me five taels of silver to help her guard the door and run errands."

The man in gray was getting impatient, "I'm the only one here. You take me to the mountain to find my master, and I'll give you ten taels of silver."

Seeing that the boy didn't believe it, the man in gray took out two broken pieces of silver and threw them over without saying a word.

Shen Ge took a bite and took off the small bamboo hat on his head with bright eyes. He held it up with both hands and said to please, "Uncle, don't let the rain catch you. It's not easy to walk in the forest. Let's go up the mountain road."

The man in gray put on a bamboo hat and followed Shen Ge up the mountain.

Worried that Shen Shangzhi had not yet prepared an ambush outside the temple gate, Shen Ge and the man in gray did not take the common mountain path down the mountain from Guanyin Temple, but took another path. While walking, he talked with the man in gray behind him. Pretend to ask whether his family has a lot of money, whether they have a lot of land, what they can do if they go back, how much they earn per month, etc.

The man in gray was dealing with it briefly, but suddenly he heard chaotic footsteps and shouts in the forest, and immediately stopped, holding his knife and looking around.

Shen Ge also pretended to pull his neck and take a few glances, and sighed, "They all heard the drums and came down to see them. By the way, uncle, who is beating the drums down the mountain? What are you doing beating the drums?"

"Xu is from the village." The man in gray responded and said impatiently, "Walk faster."

"Oh, okay." Shen Ge's steps quickened a little. When he could see the temple gate, Shen Ge looked at the bamboo forest not far outside the temple gate. His eyes finally fell on the hand of Ma Er, the blind man who had just walked out of the temple gate, and shouted Said, "Hey, who is that? You two wait a minute!"

When Ma Er's two subordinates heard Shen Ge shouting like this and saw that the sharpshooter in the east courtyard was not around, they glared and cursed back, "What are you doing calling grandpa, you brat!"

Shen Ge came forward with the man in gray and asked, "When you entered the temple the day before yesterday, where did you drive the tall old man with injuries in the backyard?"

After listening to Shen Ge's words, the man in gray squinted his eyes and turned his attention to these two guys who were obviously not good people.

After entering the temple, they occupied the backyard and kicked out all the people in the backyard. As for whether there were old men among those people, who would care! Ma Er's blind men pushed Shen Ge away and left, "I'm busy, get lost."

Shen Ge pretended to stagger and took two steps back. The man in gray raised his hand to stop Ma Er's blind men and asked gloomily, "Where are the people?"

Ma Er's blind men were shocked by the aura of the man in gray and muttered, "If it's not in the main hall, it's in the west courtyard. You can go find it yourself."

The man in gray's eyes lit up and he looked up at the temple door.

This is the moment!

Shen Ge, who had moved behind the man in gray, stabbed the man in gray in the back with a dagger. Unexpectedly, as soon as the dagger touched the opponent's clothes, the man in gray pushed down Ma Er's blind man and jumped to avoid it.

Shen Ge stepped on the belly of Ma Er's blind man and stabbed him with a dagger, but his movement was not as fast as the man in gray. The man in gray turned around and used his knife to deflect the dagger, and then kicked Shen Ge in the chest.

Shen Ge rolled to the ground and just avoided the leg of the man in gray, but the knife in the other man's hand had already been chopped down at an incredible speed.

"Look at the hidden weapon!"

Shen Ge shouted and threw a handful of dirt at the face of the man in gray. The man in gray flew away half a foot away and used a knife to resist. When he realized that he had been deceived, his anger grew.

"He has a lot of money, brothers, take him down and we will share it equally." Shen Ge shouted as he ran towards the bamboo forest outside the temple gate.

This damn brat must be one of Shen Shangzhi's group! The man in gray held the knife and turned his eyes to stare at the temple door. The people at the temple door were so frightened that they stepped back. They were not fools. They were looking for death. Even on the ground The blind Ma Er's subordinates also rolled and crawled to avoid it.

There is nothing to fear from these people. The man in gray smiled coldly.

"Look at the hidden weapon!"

Shen Ge ran to the edge of the bamboo forest and threw a handful of muddy stones at the man in gray.

The man in gray jumped away, and when he found out that he had been fooled again, he became furious and said, "You are looking for death!"

Seeing the man in gray clothes chasing after him with a knife, Shen Ge screamed and ran two steps into the forest. He shouted "Look at hidden weapons" and smashed out a handful of muddy pebbles.

This time the man in gray didn't even want to hide. He just wanted to kill this brat quickly, take back the money, and go into the temple to find Shen Shangzhi as soon as possible.

But when the mud stuck to his face, it actually made him itchy unbearably! The man in gray said something bad to himself, and immediately hid behind a few bamboos and raised his sleeves to wipe his face.

"puff!"

The man in gray clothes who had just raised his sleeves was shocked. He slowly lowered his head and stared in disbelief at the tip of the cold sword that came out of his chest.

Shen Ge, who jumped back, stepped forward and stabbed the man in gray on the neck with a dagger.

After the sword tip was withdrawn, the man in gray fell softly to the ground, and blood flowed downwards from the sword hole in the bamboo.

Shen Ge quickly plundered everything from the man in gray, pulled out the thick bamboo hairpin on his head, stood up and smiled at Shen Shang who walked out of the dense bamboo.

Shen Shang, who was holding the sword, smiled and asked, "How did you know that I am hiding here?"

Shen Ge said truthfully, "I feel like you are here. Now the crisis is over. The Lin family's big ship has arrived, let's take a boat and leave?"

"These people rarely act alone. His accomplices should have gone down the mountain to explore the source of the drum sound and will catch up soon."

Shen Shangzhi stared at the brave and resourceful young man in front of him with great seriousness. If he and the man in gray were seen fighting at the gate of the temple, he would be considered by the man in gray's accomplices to be one of his own, and he could only take him with him. Went together,

"You use this knife and give me the darts. We will ambush on the way down the mountain. We must kill the remaining villains one by one, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

"good!"

Shen Ge agreed without fear. Seeing that Shen Shang had difficulty even walking, he quickly said, "Uncle is hiding, I will ambush you. I am 70% sure that there is itching medicine."

Shen Shang shook his head straight, "Help me and walk quickly. Otherwise, not only you and me, but also Mrs. Lin's family will be implicated."

Shen Ge turned around and bent down, "I'll carry you over."

"Dear fellow villagers——"

On the steps of the main hall of the temple, Ma Wang, who was standing next to Ma Er, shouted loudly, "Dear fellow villagers, two big boats came down from the mountain, with food and drink on board. Our homes were flooded, and our relatives were washed away by the water. Nothing is gone! Only by getting on the boat can we have a way to survive, have food and drink. When the official lady in the east courtyard comes out later, we will beg her to take us on the boat. She will definitely not refuse to save us. , everyone, are you right?"

"right!"

"that is!"

"There are two big ships. If we all get on board, we won't be able to take up much space or eat much!"

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. She has to save us!"

"Get on the boat, I want to get on the boat!"

"Get aboard!"
