Chapter 640 Startling the Snake in the Grass
ngyu could have stopped Tian Xianhua, but she knew that with people from Red Stone Village escorting, whether Tian Xianhua gave a report or not, Seventh Brother wouldn’t make a move.
ngyu’s original plan was to stay at the Xiao Family tonight, having Lao Qi and his group keep watch on the mountain overnight.
Then, early tomorrow morning, she would let Xiao Tao co out from the space and transform into herself, leading Xiao Hua and the other three down another path, to another town where they could catch a ride back.
anwhile, she would take the main road alone, drawing out Lao Qi and his n to eliminate them.
But now, due to the leader’s insistence on the escort, they had no choice but to take the main road together.
She estimated that with the villagers accompanying them, Lao Qi would probably not dare to make a move on them, and naturally, since they did not act, she could not easily kill them.
Alas, they were lucky, having narrowly escaped a predicant.
However, ngyu did not expect Lao Qi and his n to be so bold as to still attempt to complete their task.
After lunch, around two o’clock, ngyu and the party of five set out from Red Stone Village with ten young adults escorting them.
ngyu’s Divine Sense could now cover a distance of eight miles, so from far away, she saw Tian Xianhua arguing with Seventh Brother:
“Seventh Brother, the leader of Red Stone Village has spoken; no one is to touch Xiao Hua. We should withdraw.”
Lao Qi, enraged: “Hua, you know we’ve been ambushing in Wild Boar Ridge since eight in the morning, hoping to capture them before they reached Red Stone Village. We didn’t expect to keep waiting without seeing them, thinking they had arrived first, which is why we went to the village to investigate.”
“But who would have known, the mont we arrive at the village, they do too, and what is key – our people did not see them co from the main road. If we had continued the ambush until now, it would already be two-thirty; everyone had been lying in ambush for over six hours. And now you just want to call it quits with a single word? Are you playing gas with us?”
It was only after hearing this that ngyu realized they had started preparing the ambush since the morning, but coincidentally, they chose not to use the main road and crossed over the mountain ridges while hunting.
It was precisely because they had crossed over the mountain ridges that they had not fallen into the ambush.
Of course, had she not used her Divine Sense to scout for ga, she would not have overlooked exploring the main road.
Their accidental miss did not trigger the traps, but Lao Qi’s subordinates dared not leave since those kinds of pits, if unguarded, would beco useless if soone fell in, and they would not be easy to reset.
Yet, defending such traps had exhausted them over the six long hours.
Tian Xianhua stamred anxiously: “I-I-I, how am I playing gas with you? It’s truly that Red Stone Village forbids us from taking action.
To protect the first university student from their village, ten of them carried ten old hunting rifles to escort Xiao Hua and the other four girls out of the mountains.
Tell , even if we have knives, can we fight against guns? Even if we could, do you dare to rob openly? Moreover—”
Moreover, since the leader of Red Stone Village said he would protect their village’s university student, he would definitely do so. If you lay hands on her, the whole village will beco our enemy!”
Those not from the mountain have no idea how formidable the martial power of the entire village can be. Once they really provoke the person protected by the leader, Tian Xianhua could run to the ends of the earth and still would be captured and punished.
Lao Qi, deep in thought: “You say, the people from Red Stone Village are protecting that university student from their village, right?”
Tian Xianhua, not understanding his implication, nodded: “That’s right.”
