Chapter 220: Feeling like facing a formidable enemy
Everyone who saw the animals coming out of the woods felt as if they were facing a great enemy.
When Xia Wanniang looked at the jackal family, she felt a headache.
When the jackal saw her and Xiao Chiye, it wagged its tail like a dog. If you didn't know better, you would think it was their own puppy.
Xiao Chiye put away the weapon in his hand and looked at the people around him: "Put away your weapons."
Xia Wanniang walked to the side of the jackal and whispered to Lai Fu, "Tell the jackal to go back to our back mountain and give it to them. There are too many people here, and I'm afraid people will think I'm a monster."
Lai Fu came in front of the jackal and made “chirp” sounds for a long time, and also gestured with his little paws for a long time.
The jackal tilted his head and thought about it, then finally agreed.
Xia Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that these ancestors would fulfill their promises now.
Lai Fu told Xia Wanniang about the traps they had found out about and the situation in the mountain village.
Xia Wanniang nodded and stretched out her hand: "Thank you!"
The jackal looked at her hand, hesitated, then raised a paw and placed it on her palm.
Xia Wanniang was just trying it out, but she didn't expect these little guys to be so smart.
The jackal looked at her and said: Don’t forget it when you go back, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude.
They turned and ran into the forest.
She returned to the team and told everyone what she had learned: "There are still four to five hundred people in the bandit den, and the people patrolling outside are rotated every quarter of an hour. My husband and I will deal with the traps outside, we are better at it. After one stick of incense, you will surround them from three sides."
Porphyry didn't know why he believed them: "Okay."
Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye and stopped talking nonsense. She asked Lai Fu to follow him and point out the location of the trap for him.
She had memorized the location of the trap, and the two of them agreed on a meeting place, then turned around and ran in two directions of the forest.
Qiu He looked at their backs as they left and asked uncertainly, "Is it really okay to leave it to them?"
Porphyry frowned: "Trust them."
Constable Nong: "I believe in Master Xiao."
Xia Wanniang found the first trap and destroyed it without triggering it.
Xiao Chiye was also very familiar with these traps and handled them with ease.
The two were getting closer and closer to the village, where the traps were becoming more and more dense, and they also had to avoid patrolling bandits.
However, both of them are experts in this field, so these are not difficult for them.
After they met up, there was still some time before the agreed time, so Xiao Chiye whispered to Xia Wanniang, "Wait for them?"
Xia Wanniang shook her head: "Once they come together, it will be more difficult for me to collect my things."
Xiao Chiye: "Let's go in first."
Lai Fu pulled their clothes and said: The little fox knows a place where there is no one!
Xia Wanniang looked down at it and said: I’ll give you a chicken leg when I get back.
Lai Fu's little fox eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, and his little paws pointed towards a certain place.
Xiao Chiye and Xia Wanniang followed the path it pointed out, thinking that Banyan and the others were almost there, and they also dealt with the patrolling bandits on the way.
She would not be so kind as to spare the lives of these bandits, and would simply slash their necks with a knife.
Lai Fu led the two of them through many twists and turns and finally arrived at the back mountain, where there was a steep cliff. On the cliff, which was covered with vines, there was a large cave.
Xiao Chiye looked at the location of the cliff and said, "I'll go up and take a look first."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Be careful."
Xiao Chiye pulled at the vines on the cliff, and after confirming that they were strong, he climbed up along the vines.
The cave was very quiet, and the sound of water dripping could be heard. He carefully checked the surroundings with his weapon. After finding no danger, he made a gesture towards Xia Wanniang below.
Xia Wanniang grabbed the vines and quickly climbed to the cave: "This place is quite hidden."
Xiao Chiye nodded: "Be careful, I don't know what's here."
Lai Fu ran into Xia Wanniang's bag, with only his little head sticking out to look outside.
The two of them groped their way inside in the dark, not daring to light up for fear that there might be someone inside, and it would be bad if they were discovered.
But after they walked for a distance, they found that there was no way forward.
Xia Wanniang looked down at Lai Fu: Is this the route you are leading?
Lai Fu tilted his head and said: I clearly saw someone going in from here yesterday, why can’t I get through today?
Xia Wanniang narrowed her eyes. Could there be some mechanism here?
