Chapter 21.02 The days of wandering.(2/2)
The leader of the mountain group was still thinking about Wei Keng's old hunter's instructions to "keep an eye on this child" before leaving. At this time, the housekeeper who was wearing plaster pinched his mustache and began to say: "What's wrong?"
Yes, you poor people in remote areas will suffer the consequences of having an extra mouth to eat. I am doing good deeds for you! Two taels of silver, do you want it if you like it?"
In the end, with an extra two cents of silver in the price and a guarantee that it would give the village enough salt, this "increased money" was successful.
Here Wei Keng was helping to look at the fox skins. An adult in the village quietly pulled Wei Keng over and said, "My child, you must be tired from going to the market recently. Go eat some steamed buns."
Wei Keng didn't know why, but he felt a little bad, but he could only nod. After a few minutes, Wei Keng looked at the fragrant buns, and suddenly became suspicious: Well, when did the village think of such a good thing, and now he looked forward to it
I want to watch myself eat.
Wei Keng took a look at the adults and confirmed that there might be something in the bun, so he quickly stood up and was about to run away, but he was grabbed. However, Wei Keng had obviously practiced and fled away like a monkey.
But as soon as I jumped up the wall, a sack was thrown over me, and there was a puff of smoke in the sack.
While cursing, Wei Keng felt numb all over his body. Although the energy in his body reacted passively, he could not restrain the effect of the medicine. When he was half conscious, he felt like he was being thrown onto a donkey cart. Wei Keng trembled in desperation.
The copper plate on his body made a clattering sound, but the effect of the narcotic smoke became stronger with this movement. Then, he seemed to hear a quarrel between the villagers and outsiders.
In the end, the villagers in the mountains seemed to be afraid of the sticks and were forced to stay away from the carriage that abducted Wei Keng. They looked at the sacks fluttering under the curtains of the carriage and looked to the people in the town for help. Everyone on the road seemed to know that outsiders would cause trouble.
They avoided the big local businesses that they shouldn’t mess with.
As for Wei Keng, he felt that it was really difficult to break free from the sack. He regretted why the locust stone in his hand could not be replaced with a small flying knife. Master Wei tried hard to adjust his breathing in the sack. He was very frustrated. He had just gained some strength, but in the end he couldn't stop it.
Three bad tricks.
No matter how good your skills are, you are still afraid of being plotted by Jianghu.
..."Cuckoo, Cuckoo!" The vendors on the street were walking with grasshopper cages and carriages on their backs...
At night, when he was sure that he had been thrown into a large village, Wei Keng used his sharp teeth to bite the bag again and again, and finally broke out of the bag. At this time, he found himself in the cellar, surrounded by collected goods.
The children were all so depressed that they didn't even have the strength to cry.
At this time, outside, crickets were chirping in the grass, and there was also the smell of lamp oil. It was certain that this was a large house.
About half an hour later, a man who looked like a housekeeper asked: "Have all the boys been collected?" The guy with plaster on his face nodded and bowed: "Yes, they are all collected."
The steward gave a soft "hmm" and immediately reprimanded: "Keep a close watch on me. If the important matter of the sacrifice is ruined, you are the only one to ask."
Wei Keng's ears were very clear, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He might be in trouble. Over the years, his sharp intelligence has been able to evade jackals, tigers, and leopards, and in the end he did not escape the calculations of people.
The mountain people are fairly honest, but if their simplicity is exploited in a treacherous way, they are working for the tiger.
Wei Keng struggled to free himself from the tendon rope, but when he saw the iron railings and cages around him, the corners of his mouth twitched: "We have been digging pits for tigers and leopards all year round. This is like the reincarnation of heaven."
Wei Keng tiptoed to the door, touched the iron lock, and input his zhenqi. The zhenqi twisted in the lock core. Wei Keng controlled the stone powder to open the lock cylinder. The lock opened with a "click" sound. Wei Keng opened the door and prepared.
leave.
However, Wei Keng apparently overlooked something. As the door opened and he was ready to rush to freedom,
Behind Wei Keng, there were suddenly the sounds of other children crying, and the door opened causing the dog in the house to bark.
Soon someone rushed up. Wei Keng, who was about to climb over the wall to escape, was caught in a noose by Jiang Menshen. Then he was interrupted by severe pain in his limbs, and then he was poured more anesthetic.
