After a while, three men walked in. The tall man in the lead quickly glanced at Li Qingling and the rest, seeing that they were all children, his eyes quickly flashed with a trace of gloom, he secretly looked at the other two, then walked to the other side and sat down.
Outside, Li Qingling was very alert, but when she saw these three men, she became even more alert.
She pinched Liu Zhimo's hand, causing him to slightly nod his head in understanding.
On their side, there were a lot of children. They definitely couldn't be the slightest bit relaxed.
"Big sister, I'm hungry." Li Qingning pulled on Li Qingling's sleeves and said softly.
They didn't eat anything in the car as they were driving. When they arrived at the temple, she felt her stomach growl …
Hearing that, Li Qingling took out some rations from his bag and split it up.
When the three men saw Li Qingling and the others eating, they gulped and looked at each other again. One of the shorter man stood up and walked towards them with a smile, "Hey, young lady, do you guys still have anything to eat? Could you give a point to us three brothers? We three brothers haven't eaten for a whole day, so we're extremely hungry. "
They had originally thought that they would return empty-handed, but who would have thought that a rain would bring them to hide in this temple. After encountering such a group of people, their money had been repaid.
The heavens truly helped him.
Li Qingling raised his head and quickly looked at the man. She saw that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"We still need to hurry, and there aren't many things. There are only these three cakes. If you don't mind, big brother, you can take them and split with us. If there are too many, we won't have any more."
The man smiled as he looked at Li Qingling, and then received the three pancakes from Li Qingling. After thanking him, he walked over once more, and the three of them divided the three pancakes among themselves before starting to eat them slowly.
After he finished eating, the short man turned to Zeng Tietou and said with a smile, "This brother, your family is old and small, where are you going?"
Zeng Tietou was not as straightforward and honest as he appeared to be. He kept a bit of thought as he smiled and said, "Brother, where are you going if you want to go to the underworld? It's not easy to walk on such a rainy day! " This man was sneaky. Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like a good person.
He had to pay more attention to the older and younger members of his gang.
"What a coincidence, we three brothers are also going to the city." The short one clapped his hands and laughed happily, "The carriage outside belongs to brother, right? I wonder if you, brother, have a seat in the carriage for us three brothers? " Judging from their appearances, they didn't seem like rich people. However, their lives weren't too bad, and they still had a bit of money.
How much can we get now? No matter how small the mosquito is, it's still a piece of meat!
As soon as he said this, he frowned in embarrassment. There were no more seats, the carriage was too small and crowded.
The short one waved his hands nonchalantly, saying that he was fine. He was just casually asking, but there was no place he could do anything about. The three brothers could just walk along.
Zeng Tietou smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic.
If the short one wanted to trick Teng Tietou, then Teng Tietou also wanted to trick the short one.
The two of them chatted like this, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite good for a moment.
"It's been raining nonstop. It seems like we'll have to spend the night here. Brother, what are you planning to do?" The short one rolled his eyes and looked outside. The rain outside did not seem to stop. He pretended to be worried and sighed.
If the rain didn't stop, they wouldn't dare to rush here.
"Let's take another look. Maybe it will stop soon!"
"Right, then let's wait!" The short guy glanced at the tall guy and the corner of his mouth slightly raised. They really wanted the rain to stop so they could take action.
He quietly moved to Li Qingling's side and asked Li Qingling in a low voice, what should he do?
Li Qingling raised his head to look at the weather outside, bit his lower lip and said, "If we wait any longer, we will have to stay here to sleep."
It was very dangerous to travel under the heavy rain. It would be safer to spend the night in the temple.
Zeng Tie nodded, "Boss, we don't know what those three men are for. We have to be careful." It was never wrong to be a little careful when you were out there.
"I know, if you stay here tonight, don't go to sleep."
"Alright …"
Who knows how long it had been raining, but the sky slowly darkened, and Li Qingling and the rest had no choice but to spend the night in the temple.
"Bro, it seems like we are quite fated to end up staying here for the night." This time, the short one was really happy from the bottom of his heart. Spending the night here was more convenient for them to deal with.
He ignored the short man and asked Li Qingling if he should bring the carriage in and leave it outside for fear of being stolen.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to lead the horse to the next room and tie it up." She was also a little worried that these three men would steal the carriage, so it was safer to bring them in.
Zeng Tie-tou followed the coachman to lead the carriage in. After tying it up, they returned to their original spots and sat down. "Boss, you can go back to sleep. I'll keep watch tonight." He always felt uneasy in his heart. If he didn't keep watch, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Li Qingling thought for a moment, then nodded his head, and quietly told Zeng Tietou that he would guard half the night, while she would guard half the night.
"No need. Boss, just sleep well. It's fine even if I haven't slept all night. I'll just make up for it by tomorrow morning." How could he keep watch with his boss in the middle of the night? These things shouldn't be done by the boss, he can do it.
Li Qingling glanced at him, and insisted: "Listen to me, I'll guard it in the middle of the night." After he said that, he hugged Li Qingning and closed her eyes without waiting for him to oppose her.
Seeing this, Zeng Tie could only helplessly sigh in his heart. He made up his mind that he would not wake up his boss in the middle of the night and let her sleep well.
Outside, Li Qingling was not the least bit sleepy. Furthermore, there were three unfamiliar men sitting opposite of them, which made it even more impossible for her to fall asleep.
She just closed her eyes and rested.
The three men exchanged glances as they looked at the person in front of them who was sleeping soundly. They used their fingers to type out a few codes and the corners of their mouths lifted. They didn't make this trip in vain. It was worth it.
Time passed by bit by bit. In the middle of the night, Zeng Tie slightly yawned. He looked at the three men and heard their sound of sleeping. After a moment of hesitation, he got up and walked out.
He couldn't hold it in any longer if he wanted to go and relieve himself.
The moment he left, the three men opened their eyes at the same time. There was not even a trace of sleepiness in their eyes. The snoring sound before was deliberately made by them to confuse Zeng Ironhead.
"Big brother, we need to deal with that man first." That man was the main force. If Ye Zichen didn't finish him off, he was afraid that things would get bad.
"Ok, number six, go deal with that man. I'll go with number three to these kids."
"Sure …" The short one nodded in agreement, picked up a stick from the ground and walked out softly.
The man called Ol 'Three chuckled and rubbed his hands. "Big Bro, these kids look pretty good. Why don't we just tie them up and sell them to them?" It will definitely sell for a good price. " He had been thinking about it when he saw the children.
Since they didn't have that much money on them, they might as well be kidnapped and sold off. That way, they would be able to make a fortune out of themselves.
The tall man also felt that Ol 'Three's suggestion was very good, so he nodded, "Be quiet, don't wake people up." He walked to the corner and gently picked up two sticks, handing one to Ol 'Three. "Tap that man in the corner until he's unconscious, and this little one won't be a problem."
"Big brother, leave that to me."
"Alright …"
The tall guy quietly walked in front of Li Qingling, looked at Li Qingling's beautiful face, and gulped down his saliva. This was a good item, if he sold it to the Spring Pavilion, he would sell it for a lot of money!
As he watched, he could not help but reach out to touch Li Qingling's face.
Just as his hand was about to touch Li Qingling's face, his neck was stabbed by something sharp. The person whose eyes were originally closed was now staring intently at him.
"Don't move, tell your men to stop, otherwise …" The crossbow in her hand pierced the tall man's neck, leaving a sharp pain and blood dripping from it.
In such a quiet temple, when Li Qingling's cold voice sounded, Old Third was shocked. He turned his head, and saw that Li Qingling was holding something against the tall man's neck, "Big brother?"
"Three …" Li Qingling started counting.
A shadow flashed in the tall man's eyes, "Third Bro, put your things down." He didn't expect that he would underestimate this woman and she would have it in her hands just like that.
Liu Zhimo quickly carried Li Qingning out from Li Qingling's embrace. After waking him up, he called the others out.
When the coachman saw the stick in Ol 'Three's hand, what was there that he didn't understand?
"Special Mother's bastard, I was almost tricked!" The coachman angrily kicked Ol 'Three, and snatched the stick from him before hitting him, "I told you to sneak attack me, I told you to hit me, I'll kill you, you bastard."
"Ahhh... Stop it, stop it. " If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid that his big brother would be in trouble, he would have resisted long ago.
Li Qingling studied the tall man in front of him, frowning as he thought, why does this tall man look familiar?
After thinking for a moment, a light flashed through his mind. She … He remembered.
A few years ago, the tall man and the short man had tried to steal from their house, but she had managed to scare them off with an arrow.
He didn't expect that they would run into each other here.
