The bonfire in the camp was burning brightly, and the old man wearing a bamboo hat added a handful of firewood to the bonfire.
Meng Fuhua held a piece of watermelon in her hand, looking southward from time to time, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle Yao, why hasn't Liu Jiu come back yet? Do you want to send someone over to have a look?"
Lu Yao lifted the bamboo hat on his forehead and turned his eyes toward the south, which was the direction Liu Jiu left.
I don’t know what this guy is doing. His stomachache has been brewing for so long? It makes the lady worried.
Dong Lie raised the spear in his arms and said, "I'll go take a look."
Meng Fuhua looked up at Dong Lie and said warmly: "Brother Dong Lie, please be more careful. If you don't find it, forget it."
Dong Lie nodded, picked up the spear, and glanced at Lu Yao, "Borrow the horse!"
With that said, he climbed onto the maned horse with a spear in hand, pulled the reins, and galloped towards the south.
"Miss." Lu Yao took off his bamboo hat and hesitated for a few breaths, "Recently, those young people said something was wrong with Liu Jiu. Could he..."
Meng Fuhua shook her head, "I have known Liu Jiu since I was a child. When we were doing business in Shengzhou, he fought with me many times and even saved my life. He will not abandon me or the Shuiyun Gang.
of."
Lu Yao fell silent and did not say much. After all, the young lady was still young and had too little experience.
Some people cannot look at the surface and know people but not their hearts. This is why Liu Jiu should be vigilant from the first time he behaves strangely.
Meng Fuhua clenched her fists, her nails embedded in her flesh, and said very seriously: "Liu Jiu will not abandon me!"
Lu Yao sighed. Since the young lady was willing to believe Liu Jiu, it was not easy for him to say anything more. If there was really any danger, he would swear to protect the young lady to the death.
At this time, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats. Meng Fuhua raised her head and found that it was Dong Lie returning from the hill.
The two of them were wondering why Dong Lie left and came back when a voice came from behind the dunes.
"Miss, Uncle Yao, what a happy event!"
Dong Lie pulled the horse's rope and stopped in front of Yao Shu. He lowered his voice and said, "Things are a bit tricky."
Uncle Yao's face was serious, and he reached for the scimitar at his waist. He looked towards the sand dunes in the distance, and a small amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
No matter what monsters appear, as long as Lu Yao is here, no one can hurt the lady!
"Miss, Uncle Yao!"
As the sound approached, a figure appeared on the sand dunes, followed by more than ten camels. Following the figure, they ran all the way down the sand dunes, and the dust behind them was blurred under the moon.
Those figures walked out of the painting, led the camels and ran down the sand dunes, suddenly becoming larger in sight.
The person who was leading the camel was Liu Jiu. He was carrying a long horse spear in his hand. When they got closer, Meng Fuhua and Lu Yao smelled a pungent smell of blood.
It turned out that the camel closest to Liu Jiu had a dozen bloody human heads tied to it. The blood flowed down the necks, spreading a thick dark red under the moonlight.
"Liu Jiu..." Meng Fuhua opened her mouth in horror.
Liu Jiu drove the camel to Meng Fuhua, jumped off the camel, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss, I kept you waiting for a long time."
"Liu Jiu, what's going on? How come there are so many... heads!" Meng Fuhua trembled. After all, she had seen a lot of things in the world and did not collapse to the ground in fear.
Liu Jiu thrust the horse in his hand towards the ground, untied more than ten human heads from the camel, picked up one of them and threw it in front of Lu Yao.
"Miss, I went out at night and accidentally startled a camel. After I chased after them, I found these dead people on a hill. I bravely went up to take a look and found that the dead people were actually those notorious gangs.
Bandit!"
Lu Yao lowered his body suspiciously, and after looking at the head carefully, he exclaimed: "Miss, I recognize this person, it's Zhu San!"
"Zhu San?" Meng Fuhua frowned slightly, unable to remember who this person was.
Lu Yao took a deep breath, picked up the head, and pointed to the incomplete right ear canal on the head: "In the early years, I was walking in the desert with the old gang leader. I happened to meet a bully who bullied a good family woman. The old gang leader was angry and came forward to argue.
, drove those evil men away and cut off this man's right ear. Later I heard that this Zhu San joined Wang Kui and his gang to become bandits and caused a lot of trouble for our Shuiyun Gang!"
Dong Lie added next to him, "A few years ago, I met him when I followed the convoy back from Dingfeng City. Many brothers died at that time."
Meng Fuhua exhaled, feeling that she was no longer so afraid. She stared at her head with a pair of green eyes, and opened her red lips lightly, "Then you really died in a clever way today!"
Lu Yao threw the head down and stared at the horse. He circled around the horse and found a larger head among the pile of heads.
"Ma Shan is here, it is indeed Wang Kui!" Lu Yao sighed with emotion.
Meng Fuhua's mouth opened slightly, and she said in disbelief: "Could it be Wang Kui, whose military strength can rival a hundred people?"
Lu Yao nodded and said: "It is this man. This man was born with supernatural power. I heard that he could lift a hundred kilograms of copper and stone at the age of seven. Later, he learned martial arts from a ronin and became even more incomparable. The government officials
Bian put a reward of a hundred gold on the head, and many martial artists happily accepted it. Wang Kui is still alive and well after so many years, which shows his high martial arts skills."
Dong Lie held the spear and said quietly: "Compared with martial arts, I care more about who killed them."
The three people's eyes converged on Liu Jiu.
Liu Jiu panicked, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "How can I have such great ability? When I saw them, these people had just died, and some of them were still warm!"
Everyone in the Shuiyun Gang knew about Liu Jiu's abilities, and he had some martial arts skills, but they were all three-legged cat kung fu, and he definitely couldn't kill Wang Kui.
Liu Jiu turned Wang Kui's head in a circle, lowered his voice, and said cautiously: "Actually, when I was squatting in the pit, I saw the Immortal Family on the mountain!"
Hearing this, Lu Yao subconsciously glanced at Lin Yanli. After carefully examining the wound on his head, he said with a strange expression: "It's really that immortal!"
"The wounds on these heads are all between the eyebrows. Except for the immortal family on the mountain, who else has such ability! It seems that Liu Jiu got a big advantage." Dong Lie said lightly.
Lu Yao lowered his head and thought deeply for a while and said: "I heard that Wang Kui has hundreds of people under his command. Today Wang Kui died, and I'm afraid that a new leader will be introduced soon. If we take these heads to the government to receive the reward, I'm afraid we will get burned.
!”
Meng Fuhua frowned, unable to make up her mind for a moment.
Liu Jiu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I think, even if we take the heads of these bandits to the government to collect the bounty, those bandits will have no chance to aspire to us. The master of the Xian family seems to be running for the sand bandits."
Since they were brought by bandits to eliminate harm for the people, they will never leave any future troubles for the people."
Lu Yao pondered for a while and felt that Liu Jiu's words had some truth, so he chose a safe way, "The Xian family has always been vigorous and resolute in doing things. It will take some time for us to get to Dingfeng City from here. If there is news about the destruction of the sand bandits,
, we will take these sand bandits to the government to collect their rewards. If there is no movement, we will find a hole in the desert and bury them."
Meng Fuhua nodded in agreement and said, "Uncle Yao has considered it carefully, so that's what we'll do."
Liu Jiu breathed out in his heart. This matter was finally deceived. In a daze, he saw the corners of Lin Yanli's raised lips. The smile made people feel chilled in his heart. For this reason, he couldn't help but clasp his hands and face towards the west.
