Chapter 121 Someone is Down
I hesitated for a moment, and a strange glint flashed in my eyes. I took a few steps forward, and instantly disappeared into the darkness.
The voices of the two men gradually approached, and before long, they burst into the cave. They were all big and tall with broad waists, carrying a knife on their backs, looking like bandits who robbed and plundered mountain strongholds.
The cave was empty, and except for the ashes of a fire that had been extinguished on the ground, they found nothing.
"Damn it, late again!" One of them kicked the remaining charcoal in the fire pit and cursed.
Another person seemed calmer, squatting down to touch the charcoal: "There's still residual warmth, the person should have left about an hour or so ago. Maybe they'll come back." He stood up and said to another person.
That man suddenly came to life: "You're still clever, Wang Hu. Alright, let's wait here and see if anyone shows up!"
"Zhang Bao, don't hold too much hope either. This desolate mountain and wilderness, with cliffs above, the people who can survive here are either fugitives or fallen nobles, what kind of wealthy person would be here?"
"Today's heist didn't go well, and on our first robbery attempt we were caught by the authorities. We had to flee in a panic and ended up running all the way here, where there isn't even a single feather to be found. What bad luck!"
The conversation between the two people in the cave was completely transmitted to my ears in the dark outside. I couldn't help but despise them: So they're just novice mountain bandits! Wait till Mo You comes, you two will be in for a treat!
However, it is still unknown what their strengths are. As You Moyu currently only has a dagger in his hand, those two are carrying big knives. I couldn't help but secretly worry for You Moyu. In my mind, I involuntarily imagined the scene of them fighting each other.
The bandit wielded a knife, slashing left and right, while Mo You dodged and weaved with his short dagger.
I let out a snort of laughter and quickly covered my mouth.
Let go at once. What am I afraid of? Those two rookies, can their hearing be as good as mine?
Even if it's an ordinary person, even with the cave in between, they absolutely can't hear the conversation of the two people inside. But who am I? I'm not an ordinary person! (Not referring to spiritually!)
I hope these two mountain bandits leave quickly without waiting for anyone! My gaze involuntarily drifted in the direction where Ying Mo Yu left. Silently praying that he comes back later.
At this time, Wang Hu and Zhang Bao, who had just stopped for a short while, started talking again.
"What if we can't wait for anyone?"
"What can we do? Anyway, we're also injured. Let's rest and recover here. Once we've recovered, we'll return and reunite with the chief!"
"Hmm, what if it's a girl here... Hehe, that would be great!"
"Impossible, how could a young woman possibly be in such a desolate place? If it's a girl, of course we'll take her back to the mountain stronghold and present her to the chieftain! Isn't that the purpose of our trip this time?"
"I'm thinking of going with you! Let's wait slowly, I don't believe we can't wait for it!"
The three people inside and outside the cave waited together for another hour, but Mo You still hadn't returned.
I couldn't help but let out a few sneezes. In my heart, for the nth time, I "greeted" the ancestors of the two bandits in the cave as bastards for eight generations.
A glance out of the corner of his eye revealed a figure approaching from afar.
That figure stumbled away, seemingly injured. Upon closer inspection, it was actually Ying Yu!
What's wrong with him? Stumbling and limping? Has he been injured? I thought of the two robbers in the cave, who were big and strong, holding large machetes. I couldn't help but worry: why did something have to happen now?! It seems like I'll have to take action again! After glancing at the figure walking towards the mountain cave, I nodded slightly and disappeared.
At this moment, Mo You stepped step by step towards the mountain cave, his left leg was pierced by a broken branch, and the wound was still bleeding. The blood outside the wound had dried due to the passage of time, forming a dark red scab.
He stumbled and staggered, tripping over his own feet. At this moment, he really didn't have any strength left.
