Chapter 910
Chapter 911
The lit lanterns in the wilderness forest were really surprising. After all, they had walked for so long, and it was not easy to see a living person.

But that makes it even more suspicious.Not to mention Sheng Xi, even the people who followed her felt that the appearance of this lantern was really weird.

They are now in the hinterland of Fengliang Mountain!There is something wrong with the fact that there are people living in such a deep place.

Sheng Xi gently touched Wangcai's back to calm him down.

Xin Ru came over and asked, "Madam, there is a ghost in this place!"

Sheng Xi said "hmm" and squinted for a moment, then turned around and said to everyone: "Set up camp on the spot and spread the medicine I gave you before. Don't light an open fire. We will give everyone food later."

Everyone acted quickly according to Sheng Xi's instructions. At the same time, they were also curious about how much food was packed in Sheng Xi's seemingly small bag.But when I thought about the "compressed biscuits" they had for lunch and how big they were, I actually took the initiative to find a reason for them.

Well, the "compressed biscuit" is really too small.

But Xiao Guixiao is actually very filling and tastes pretty good.

More and more lanterns on the opposite side were lit up, swaying in the wind, like fireflies in the summer wind, but also more like will-o'-wisps in a thousand-year-old tomb.Because I don’t know what is hidden on the other side, it looks creepy.

Fortunately, although everyone was worried that night, nothing happened.And those lanterns were extinguished one by one in the middle of the night, and finally only a few remained lit until the morning star in the bridal chamber rose.

"Madam." Xinru pointed to the place where the lanterns were lit yesterday and asked in a low voice, "Should we go there to take a look next? Wangcai has been wanting to go there. The slave just walked forward and saw a few Log cabin.”

Sheng Xi took a sip of water and said, "Well, I want to go see everything, but I can't go to all of them."

"How many people do you plan to bring with you, madam? I'll go and order some people now!" Xin Ru gestured to get up.

But Sheng Xi stopped her: "Xin Ru, don't be in a hurry."

Xin Ru was stunned, as if she had thought of something, and immediately knelt down and agreed: "Yes, madam is right! Madam can't go, I will take someone over to investigate!"

Sheng Xi laughed and looked at Xin Ru and shook his head: "It's not you who go, it's not you who go, but I go by myself."

Xin Ru immediately raised her voice: "Madam, no!" Realizing that the voice was too loud, she hurriedly lowered her voice and said anxiously, "Madam, what are you talking about? How can I let you go alone! If you really want to go alone, you are still a slave!"

Sheng Xi said: "There must be something fishy about a place like this suddenly appearing in the hinterland of the mountains and forests. We can't alert the snake."

"Madam, don't worry, Xin Ru will not alert the enemy!" Xin Ru assured.

Sheng Xi only asked her: "Are you better at kung fu, or am I better at kung fu? Or which of them can beat me?"

Xin Ru: "..."

Madam had asked her this before, it was so shocking!However... the truth is that no matter how hard she chases, she can't catch up with Madam!

Xinru wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Don't worry, I will be very careful. If there is anything, I will send you a message as soon as possible. Besides, there is still a lot of money," Sheng Xi said.

Xin Ru pursed her lips and really didn't want to answer.

However, Sheng Xi just patted her shoulder lightly, thinking that she had accepted the task, then stood up and told everyone that she was going to investigate alone.

Naturally, everyone didn't want her to take risks alone, but Sheng Xi also hit them with the words she used to hit Xin Ru. The damage was too great, so they had no choice but to obey her fate.

Xin Ru and others watched Sheng Xi and Wang Cai disappear quickly, and everyone was worried, but they had to hide according to Sheng Xi's arrangement to prepare for the subsequent response.

And Sheng Xi has been following Wangcai, and as expected, it runs towards the place where the lantern was lit yesterday.Sheng Xi squinted, her eyes falling on a few wooden houses not far away, and a coldness gradually appeared in her eyes.Building so many wooden houses in a place like this would definitely not be as simple as a place for prey to stay.If I guess correctly, this place is probably a bandit's den.

She couldn't help but think of the cottage that Lin Shuang'er mentioned, and wondered, could this be Miss Shuang'er's home?
If that’s true, that’s… what a coincidence!

Wangcai ran ahead quickly, but soon it stopped. Sheng Xi followed and saw the sentry hidden in a secret corner at a glance.The situation in front of them also confirmed the previous guess, this was indeed a village.

A bandit's village.

The sentries are hidden and dense. Although there are not five posts per post and one post per ten steps, this place occupies an advantageous location and the locations chosen for the posts are all optimal, allowing them to monitor the inside and outside very well.

The people on patrol held swords in their hands, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and looked around with vigilant expressions. Their alertness was clearly evident.It looked like he was guarding against something.

Sheng Xi thought that maybe she had guessed wrong and this was not Lin Shuang'er's home.

Wangcai suddenly nuzzled her with his nose. Sheng Xi turned around and saw that it was wagging its tail vigorously, trying to move forward.

"Is it inside?" Sheng Xi asked it.

Wangcai called out softly as an answer.

Sheng Xi pursed her lips, raised her gaze, scanned the sentries in front of her, and then said, "Wait, wait until I draw their attention away."

"Ouch!" Wangcai yelled and turned to lie down.

Sheng Xi took out a black slingshot from the space, and then took out a stone and put it into his leather pocket.His eyes moved around, left and right, and finally focused on a bird's nest hidden in the treetops in front of him on the left.

Sheng Xi said: "Prosperous wealth."

"Ouch!" Wangcai, who was lying down, suddenly stood up.

Sheng Xi said again: "Get ready!"

"Woo!" Wangcai arched his back and bared his teeth.

The next second, Sheng Xi shot out a stone.

With a "whoosh" sound, the bottom of the bird's nest was penetrated. The bird resting in it was startled and flew up with a twitter, accompanied by a very panicked chirp.The sound was unexpectedly loud, and it resounded through the forest in an instant, causing the surrounding birds to sing together.

At the same time, people stationed at several sentries heard the movement and looked over at the same time. Some even shouted: "Who is it!"

This is the moment!

"Run!" Sheng Xi patted Wangcai on the back and rushed over first.

Wangcai came from behind, and in the blink of an eye he passed Shengxi and rushed to the front, and in the blink of an eye he was no longer visible.And Sheng Xi took advantage of those people's eagerness to check, and quickly followed Wangcai through.

When those people finished their inspection, they came to the conclusion that when the stupid bird was scaring himself, there was nowhere to see the shadow of prosperity and wealth.

"Not bad! No one found it." Sheng Xi patted Wangcai's head, took out a small piece of meat from the space and threw it to it.

Wangcai pounced forward, grabbed the meat, and swallowed it in one bite.His big watery eyes stared at Sheng Xi, as if saying: "Do it again!"

Sheng Xi laughed silently and said softly: "Right now, we are only moving forward and not retreating. Okay, let's go, let's go and find out what good things are hidden in this village, and it is so well-defended!"
