After listening to Sun Chong's words, Lin Xu's heart immediately skipped a beat, because he clearly knew the consequences of killing the bandits!
Once the bandits on Xiaoyang Mountain find out about this, they will never give up, whether for revenge or to establish their authority!
"Are they...bandits?"
Ruolan trembled with fright and asked with a hint of luck: "Brother Chong, you won't admit your mistake, will you?"
"Absolutely not!"
Sun Chong shook his head solemnly: "The bandits on Xiaoyang Mountain come to our village every spring and autumn to collect New Year's grain. I have seen this guy before, and I will never admit his mistake!"
"Brother Chong, do you think these two bandits were arranged by Xiaoyangshan, or were they acting alone?"
As soon as Lin Xu opened his mouth, he asked a crucial question.
Sun Chong immediately understood what Lin Xu meant, thought about it, and said: "Bandits can be roughly divided into two types, one specializes in collecting annual grain, and the other specializes in robbery. The bandits in Xiaoyangshan mainly collect people from nearby areas.
A village's annual grain. Of course, they also rob, but their robbery targets are mainly merchants passing by. Under normal circumstances, they will not come to the village to cause trouble, because they are also afraid of arousing public anger and affecting their income.
Yearly food."
"It's still some time before the new year's grain harvest. According to the usual situation, Xiaoyangshan will not take action at this time, so I can be sure that these two bandits are definitely not coming for our village!"
"As for this woman, it is very likely that she was newly bought by Xiaoyangshan, or she was a kidnapped horse. It turns out that this girl has a strong personality, and the bandits didn't take it too seriously, so they seized the opportunity and ran out. Xiaoyangshan
So they sent bandits down the mountain to arrest people, and they met us here!"
Lin Xu nodded slightly. He felt that Sun Chong's analysis should be the most probable possibility.
However, there is another possibility. Although the probability is relatively small, it cannot be ignored.
"Brother Chong, do you think it's possible that these two bandits are carrying the mountain behind their backs and doing private work outside?"
"Private work...you mean, the two of them secretly came down the mountain to rob the road?"
"right."
"Well, it's possible. But how dare she, a young woman, walk at night? Especially in such a remote mountainous countryside!"
"Perhaps she is not alone, but walking at night with her family, but her family has..."
Lin Xu didn't say anything further, but the meaning was already very clear.
Sun Chong's heart trembled, and he said bitterly: "It's not impossible! Bandits are animals without any humanity. In order to get money, they will do anything! In their eyes, human life is not as good as that of a dog.
! However, if the two of them are really doing private work behind the mountain top, this matter will be easier to handle! "
Ruolan was a little confused as she listened to their conversation, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it easier to handle this matter if they do private work?"
"If they were doing private work, they must have gone down the mountain secretly, which means Xiaoyangshan didn't know about it. If the two of them disappeared, Xiaoyangshan wouldn't know about it, let alone blame us."
Lin Xu explained briefly, then gently stroked Ruolan's hair and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ruolan, everything will be fine."
"Well, I have a colleague who couldn't find a living after he was injured and retired, so he set up a warehouse and sometimes went to Xiaoyang Mountain to deliver goods. He knew the situation on the mountain better. I went to see him later.
Can you find out anything?" Sun Chong said.
"Is it reliable?"
Lin Xu was a little worried. If this person was unreliable and rashly went to him to inquire about this matter, not only would it be useless, but it would cause trouble!
"Don't worry, I have a life-long friendship with this colleague. I am absolutely reliable! In addition, although he went to Xiaoyangshan to deliver goods, he was forced to do nothing. He was often bullied by bandits on weekdays and hated the bandits deeply.
They will never sell us!"
Sun Chong said solemnly.
"Well, Brother Chong, thank you for the hard work!"
"Don't say that! Brother, let's get rid of these two corpses and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible!" This chapter has been completed!
