Chapter 122： The sharp arrow delivers the message!

Chapter 122 A sharp arrow delivers a message!

“What, the child is lost?”

“How can the child be lost?”

In each cave, the villagers heard the noise and climbed down quickly.

  The old people were counting them one by one, fearing that their children were also missing, and they were also looking for where Gou Sheng'er was hiding.

Aunt Wu San and her husband had a hard life. When they were young, they gave birth to two children without stopping. They only had one child after they were in their thirties.

After the dog was born, another little girl was born, but she died at the age of two.

Gou Sheng'er is a real only seedling, and he usually looks more important than his eyeballs.

If it had been before, we wouldn't have discovered that the child was missing all night. After all, the cave was small, with only two families and two children.

But last night we changed to a cave, and Gou Sheng'er had been playing with a few half-year-old children again.

When it was time to go to bed, the couple thought that Gou Sheng'er was too crowded, so they went to sleep with their little friend.

The only time they didn't take it seriously was that they didn't go to the caves and ask questions.

I didn’t want to. After dinner this morning, the two of them shouted a few words before the child came back.

After all, no one’s family has much food, so it’s not easy for their children to live and eat at the same time.

As a result, when I asked one cave, Gou Sheng'er was not there, and when I asked another one, he was still not there!

“Gou Sheng’er, Gou Sheng’er, where are you? Come out quickly, don’t scare me!”

Aunt Wu San shouted until her voice became hoarse, her eyes were red, and she was almost going crazy.

Uncle Wu also had a pale face, pricked his hands, and bumped around like a fly with his head covered. He wanted a son from everyone he met.

The villagers quickly gathered together and looked at the village chief and Uncle Zhao.

The village chief waved his pipe and pot and directly ordered everyone, "Everyone, spread out and search around. Even if you can't find the children, you still have to find something."

Everyone's heart was frightened, and they all had a bad premonition.

In such cold weather, no matter whether the child is dragged away by wild animals or trapped in a snow nest, the end will not be good...

Except for the old people who were inconvenient to get in and out of the cave, there were also children from various families. Everyone spread out and shouted to look for him.

Soon, a villager discovered a slingshot a dozen steps behind the shack.

Aunt Wu Sanzi rushed forward, hugged the slingshot and started crying.

"This is a dog's leftover, a dog's leftover! He hugged it even when he was sleeping! Mother's dog's leftover, where have you been? If something happens to you, my mother won't be alive either."

She was crying and was about to run to the nearby stone, but was quickly grabbed by the villagers.

The village chief frowned and was about to speak when an arrow suddenly shot from the forest in front.

Liu Biaotou wanted to find out first, but his quick eyesight and hands quickly pulled the village chief away, "Be careful!"

The village chief stumbled and fell, and the arrow flew past his shoulder and pierced directly into the back of Second Sister-in-law Sun.

Second Sister-in-law Sun was bending over to persuade Third Aunt Wu, but she never imagined that there would be such a danger.

She screamed in pain and lay straight on the ground.

“Go back, go back!”

Liu Biaotou roared, grabbed the village chief and Uncle Zhao next to him, and stepped back.

The villagers also had their nests exploded, rolling and crawling back. Li Laosi and Jiayi each took one of them and brought Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu back to the shack.

Everyone was in shock and hid behind the shack, but there was no movement in the forest.

Tao Hongying half hugged Sun Ersao and whispered, "There is a note on the arrow!"

Everyone looked out and breathed a sigh of relief.

The arrow was held in Tao Hongying's hand. It turned out that the arrow was inserted too shallowly, and it had already fallen off after just tossing it.

Second Sister-in-law Sun's cotton-padded jacket was soaked in blood, but not much.

Li Laosi took the note and opened it. It was quite simple, with only four sentences.

“Thirty miles northeast, ten bags of grain, one hundred silver, and a child at noon tomorrow.”

Gou Sheng is... kidnapped!

Everyone was silent for a long time. They thought they were the only ones active in this deep mountain and old forest.

I didn’t expect that not only were there other people, but their children were kidnapped so easily!

“We’re careless. We settled here and lived in a cave, thinking we didn’t have to worry about anything. We didn’t have anyone on duty during the day and night, so someone took advantage of us!”

The village chief looked bad and blamed himself very much.

Uncle Zhao clenched his fists tightly and said, "I'm too proud. When Liu Biaotou mentioned that this is a broad bean waist and it's the closest to the outside, I should have reminded everyone..."

Li Laosi also frowned and replied, "We have been out for so long in vain, but we didn't find anyone else around here."

At this moment, Second Sister-in-law Sun was carried back to find Dr. Zhang to give her medicine.

Aunt Wu San had no tears left to cry, and her heart was filled with despair.

“Ten bags of grain and one hundred silver? My family doesn’t have any. How can I save the leftover dog?”

Uncle Wu held his head and squatted on the ground, wishing he could hit him to death.

It is a good thing that my son is still alive. It is better than freezing to death or being carried away by wild animals.

But the whole village cannot come up with what the kidnappers want, so how can they save their son?

The villagers are also talking a lot, and they are anxious to come up with ideas.

“If you don’t have enough money, put rocks in the bag; if you don’t have enough food, put hay in it. Can you deceive these bandits and exchange the leftover dogs first?”

“You are blind to think of bandits, they will definitely inspect the goods!”

"Stop arguing," Li Laoer interrupted everyone loudly, and then said, "Listen to me and explain it from beginning to end, and then we can decide how to save it."

He took a deep breath and continued, "First of all, these people should know that there are people here and come to check. Maybe they saw that we were killing pigs for stew, and there were many people, so they didn't dare to show their heads. If my guess is correct, I guess the dog The rest was to pee or pick up the slingshot, and then ran to the outside and was grabbed by this person. "

"It's possible! It was too busy yesterday. We were all down there, and we also had hatchets and the like. If there weren't many people coming, we wouldn't dare to do anything." The village chief nodded, and the others also thought it made sense.

Li Laoer put his hands behind his back and said, "After they returned, maybe they heard from Gou Sheng that we were just people fleeing famine, so they didn't want to waste more time and sent a letter asking us to deliver the things. We have , they might leave us all behind to kill us, and then come back to rob us completely. If we don't, then they have nothing to gain.

Just seeing that they had just shot arrows and did not avoid the crowd at all, it can be seen that these people are not ordinary people or soldiers who also fled into the mountains to hide. They should be ruthless bandits, the kind with countless blood on their hands, who do not care about human life. Something happened. "

The more people listened, the more their hearts sank. They thought it was extremely safe here, but they never expected that there was a man-eating tiger sleeping next to the bed.

They have been neighbors with such ferocious bandits!

Uncle Zhao took a deep breath and said, "If the second brother is right, then we have no way out and can only be prepared to fight desperately. It's not just for Gou Sheng. If these bandits are not eliminated, we will always be there." Danger."

"Yes, and we have to do it quickly!" Liu Biaotou also said, "They don't notice us who are fleeing the famine. They think that we will tremble in fear and collect food and money. If this happens, we will follow If you get behind the person who sent the letter and reach their cottage, you can catch them off guard. At least you have a chance to secretly rescue Gou Sheng'er first. "

“Then let’s go, the sooner the better!” Li Laosi suggested, “Prepare money and food, and pretend to be fake. If you are discovered, you can always deceive for a while.”
