The man who called himself Grey Rabbit was tearing at his clothes as he spoke. His leg was still bleeding, and the other person who had been hit in the shoulder was also in the same situation. Due to the inconvenience of his hand, he needed to help bandage the wound with his clothes.
As for the person who had been hit in the head due to Zhang Xiaobao's poor marksmanship, there was no need to treat him.
In fact, Zhang Xiaobao could not be blamed for killing the person. He could not see the specific location of the other party through the pile of grass. He only knew that there were two people there because the straw hats on their heads were too obvious.
There was a large clump of grass with small red fruits. The two of them insisted on using branches and withered grass to make the hats. They were so well-made and round that at first glance, they looked like two bird's nests. It would be strange if Zhang Xiaobao did not hit them.
The first person who was injured did not disguise himself, but he made a sound. Zhang Xiaobao heard it very clearly. It seemed that something was about to touch him, so he made a sound to scare the thing away.
Seeing that two people were injured and one was dead, Zhang Xiaobao took two steps back. Wang Juan took ten steps in a diagonal direction, forming a crossfire with Zhang Xiaobao. At the same time, her eyes looked around vigilantly, searching for other people.
"How many people in total? What do they do? " Zhang Xiaobao gave his brother and sister a look, telling them to take a few steps back to avoid danger. Then he asked the person who was bandaging his leg.
The person who was asked paused. He grimaced and said with a pained expression, "We're tourists."
Bang! What answered him was the sound of a gunshot, which tore off a section of the cloth he had just torn off.
"Where are you tourists?" Zhang Xiaobao raised his gun and pretended to aim as he asked.
"It's not for tourism." The man reacted quickly and didn't answer Zhang Xiaobao's question. His face was still bitter as he replied, "We are the people you want to capture. I came out to check the situation. I thought that there was no danger behind after we avoided a few groups of people. When I saw you two with a group of children, I thought that I could capture them as hostages, so I came over. I didn't expect …"
"I didn't expect to meet you guys. We were forced into this. We didn't want to help them. They have something on us. We are insignificant people. Don't beat us to death. We still have family."
Another person with an injured shoulder quickly followed up, sounding like he was really wronged.
Zhang Xiaobao was unmoved, and Wang Juan also looked at him coldly. Xiao Bei rolled his eyes and looked like he believed the other party. He asked, "Really? If you didn't commit a serious crime, I can forgive you. I'll talk to Uncle Emperor and won't sentence you to death.
If you can tell more about your people, you can make up for your mistakes. At least you haven't killed anyone for the other party. The rest is just a small matter. The more useful your report is to us, the greater your contribution will be. If you don't keep an eye on us, we can give you extra benefits. We won't even catch you. "
Xiao Yuan also echoed, "Yes, yes, we hate you to death, especially the people behind you. If the information you tell is useful to us, I will give you a lot of money. Even if you are locked up for eight to ten years, each of you will still have tens of thousands of strings of money.
You can also live a comfortable life in prison. Your family will also be taken care of. When you get out of prison, you will still have a lot of money left. In the blink of an eye, you will become the richest people in your country.
You still don't believe what we said? We are a man of our word. We won't change it. Hurry up and say it. Otherwise, you won't have this opportunity again. Opportunities are given to those who dare to fight. "
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Bei cooperated, singing the same tune as they tried to seduce the two people who were caught.
The person who helped bandage his leg had already bandaged it. The speed of the bleeding slowed down. His pants were already soaked with his own blood. As the wind blew, Xiao Bei and the others could smell the rusty bloody smell.
This person didn't care about the smell and helped the other person bandage his shoulder. This person's shoulder didn't bleed much, and it wasn't a penetrating wound. It gave people the feeling that the bullet was stuck in the bone. This kind of wound didn't bleed much, but even if it was treated in the future, it would still leave a big problem.
His wound couldn't be tied with cloth strips. He could only tear off a large piece of his clothes and block the wound layer by layer. Then, he was fixed with cloth strips. He wouldn't die for the time being.
The two people treated their wounds under the threat of the gun muzzle while listening to the threats and temptations of the two little guys. For a moment, they couldn't tell what they were feeling.
The two people knew very well that if they were caught, what awaited them would definitely be torture and interrogation. The words of Xiao Bei and the other children might not be useful. They might not admit to it. Anyway, there was no one around to prove it.
While marveling at the intelligence of the children, the two people looked at each other and saw a trace of hesitation in each other's eyes. They understood what each other was worried about.
"Are you going to say it or not? My mouth is dry from talking. If you don't say it, I'll use the small gun to torture you. I'll let you know the most painful torture. Don't think that I can't bear to do it."
Xiao Bei shook the exquisite and beautiful small gun in her hand and threatened.
"Gray Rabbit, you speak first. If you're too slow, all the blood in your body will flow out. You'll die a painful death bit by bit. It's very sad. I've seen people bleed to death."
Xiao Bei called out.
Gray Rabbit swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and looked at Xiao Bei and the others. He didn't understand why they were so ruthless. Normal children of their age would have been scared to tears when they saw blood in battle, but they didn't seem to care at all.
He didn't know if Xiao Bei had ever seen someone bleed to death bit by bit, but he absolutely believed that Xiao Bei would shoot him. That small pistol was really beautiful, and the bullets were probably specially made. However, its beautiful appearance couldn't hide its nature as a weapon.
Just as the gray rabbit was considering, the white rabbit beside it spoke, "Speak, or else you'll be captured by the people behind them. When they interrogate you, even if what you say is true, they'll torture you again and again to see if you're lying."
"If I speak now, they won't torture us?" Gray Rabbit asked.
"At least they won't torture you. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan won't cut off our flesh piece by piece in front of our younger siblings." White Rabbit had thought it through.
Gray Rabbit weighed the pros and cons and finally spoke, telling Zhang Xiaobao and the others about their situation. "Okay, I'll speak. I'll tell you everything. I'll tell you what I know. If you don't believe me, just give me a quick death."
They were indeed members of the organization that was causing trouble for the Great Tang, and they weren't important people. They had fireworks on them, and their families were under the control of the organization.
Yesterday, many hot air balloons appeared in the sky. The people in the organization thought that their hiding place had been exposed, so they hid in a cave. There was food and water in the cave, as well as some medicine and weapons.
They also sent out a group of people with fireworks to stand guard. If they saw people coming in to search, they would light the fireworks.
The three of them were arranged to stay in this place. They made their own straw hats, and after hiding from a few groups of people, they saw Zhang Xiaobao and the others. However, they didn't light the fireworks. It wasn't that they didn't bring anything to light the fireworks, but that they knew that they would be caught the moment they lit the fireworks.
After a brief discussion, the three of them decided to wait for this group of people to pass by. They would see if they could follow behind them and steal the two children when the other party was unprepared. This would make the other party anxious, and they would return to the hiding place provided by their own organization to meet up with the others.
As for why they didn't light the fireworks, they also thought of a solution. They would just say that they didn't know where the things to light the fireworks were.
When they were hiding, Gray Rabbit discovered that there was a snake on a tree branch above his head. It was swallowing its tongue and slowly creeping toward him. He wanted to scare the snake away, so he made a sound. However, after making two sounds, he was stopped there by a gun, and the snake was scared away.
After he was discovered, the other two people also didn't escape. If he didn't make a sound, perhaps no one would care about why there were two bird nests in a clump of small fruits.
Gray Rabbit said, while White Rabbit added from time to time. After about fifteen minutes, they had already told everything they knew.
In the end, Gray Rabbit said dejectedly, "It's all because we were too stupid. We didn't recognize your identity. We thought that two people who haven't reached the age of twenty would not be a threat with a group of children. If we had known that it was you, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were playing with your younger siblings, we wouldn't have dared to come here even if we had a hundred guts. We would have run far away."
When he spoke, he had a flattering expression on his face. He wanted to use his slightly aggrieved words to move Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"Of course. No matter who it is, as long as they do something bad, they are most afraid of hearing my brother and sister's name. The people they are most afraid of seeing are the two of them. Anyone who is targeted by them can't escape," Xiaobei said as he raised his head.
"Yes, yes. Impressive. We have already experienced it. And you, Xiaobei, are equally impressive," Gray Rabbit quickly echoed.
Xiaobei twirled the small pistol on his finger twice, pursed his lips, and said with a smile, "It's useless even if you praise us. We won't let you go, and we won't give you the medicine on us. Let's wait for the people behind to catch up. Let's see if your lives are tough enough."
Xiaobei's stubborn attitude in the blink of an eye made the two people who were caught stunned again. They had indeed planned to be treated first.
They didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't have all kinds of medicine on them when they brought their younger siblings out. Bullets were very painful in the flesh. Not to mention such a big lump of metal, even if a needle was stuck in the flesh, it would still hurt if it wasn't taken out. It wasn't acupuncture either.
As expected, Zhang Xiaobao didn't have any intention of helping them remove the bullets. He did have tools and medicine on him to prevent the people around him from getting hurt.
But with the other party's situation, it wouldn't be a problem for them to hold on for one or two hours. After a while, the other people who were sent to search behind them would come over. Once they handed the people over, they would no longer have anything to do with him.
"How did you guys avoid the hounds and eagles?" Zhang Xiaobao raised his head and looked at the sky. There were no thick clouds above the place where they were, and the sun shone down directly.
"Eagles?" Gray Rabbit also looked up at the sky and didn't see any eagles. He said, "We didn't see any eagles. As for the dogs, we thought of a way. That is to grind things that make you uncomfortable into powder. If the dogs smell it, their noses won't work. They won't be able to see where there's water.
We even smeared the sap of grass and trees on our bodies. The dogs won't be able to smell it at all. We're not stupid animals. We leave enough scent to guide the dogs. We're humans. We're smart. "
"You're smart, but you got caught by us?" Xiaobei interrupted.
"Yes, yes. We're not as smart as you. This … Shouldn't we go to where they're hiding? We can lead the way in front. " Gray Rabbit didn't forget to flatter. The main reason was that he wanted to be treated. If he could lead the way in front, then he had to be treated. Otherwise, how could they walk?
"You want to lead us into an encirclement, right? Then you guys will die heroically, and we'll be unlucky as well, right? "Xiaobei brought in the plot of the story she had heard.
"We wouldn't dare. They're stupid. They don't know how to ambush. We can successfully capture them." Gray Rabbit had already positioned himself as one of Zhang Xiaobao's gang. He kept talking about them and us.
Xiaobei still didn't believe him. She snorted and said, "We're not going. We're here to play. It's already noon, and we're hungry. We haven't eaten yet. If we follow you on an empty stomach, you'll be abusing children. Bro, ignore them. Cook something to eat first. I want to eat snake meat."
"Yes, cook." Zhang Xiaobao also felt that other things weren't as important as filling the stomachs of his siblings. He took out a rope from his backpack and looked at the two "rabbits."
Gray Rabbit and White Rabbit cooperatively walked over one by one. They were tied together by Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao also looked at the two people's wounds and helped Gray Rabbit tie it up again. He tied it very tightly, so it probably wouldn't bleed to death in a short period of time. As for the people behind them, whether that leg could be saved or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Since the other party had chosen to betray the Tang Empire, they shouldn't have the slightest bit of mercy for them. A woman's benevolence would get people killed. If that was really the case, Zhang Xiaobao would have died long ago.
Wang Juan was in charge of guarding with a gun. Zhang Xiaobao began to cook for his siblings. Not only did he cook the meat of the snake he caught, he also dug up wild vegetables, blanched them in hot water, and dipped them in sauce. It was a combination of meat and vegetables, which was good for the body's absorption of nutrients.
When the aroma of the food floated up, a group of people came from the road behind them. In fact, there wasn't much of a road. Because Mount Lu was a tourist attraction, and also a place for animal and plant research, the growth of the grass was not good with so many people walking on it. It looked like a road that had been walked by before.
Of course, the people who herded the sheep were not allowed to drive the sheep into the mountain to eat, but there were people who came to cut the grass. Otherwise, when the sheep ate, not only would they gnaw on the bark, but they would also gnaw on the bark of the trees where they could eat, causing the trees to die. When they ate the grass, they would also dig up the roots of the grass, which was too damaging to the plants.
There was a group of people behind them, roughly around 50 people. They were leading hunting dogs and carrying guns. When they walked over, they looked tired. It was probably because they had been searching all along the way, which was very tiring.
They were looking for cigarettes. Other people were not allowed to start a fire on the mountain, but Zhang Xiaobao did not care. He had to give his siblings something hot to eat. As for whether they would be discovered by the enemy, he felt that it was unlikely. The fog of Mount Lu did not lack his cigarettes. Besides, they had not gone too deep into the mountain.
Of course, the other people he was searching for did not know how to start a fire. Firstly, they did not have the time, and they were not here for sightseeing. Secondly, there were too many people, and the smoke was too thick. It would be easy for them to be discovered.
Zhang Xiaobao also believed that the other party would not dare to eat hot food. They were hiding from people, so how could they dare to start a fire? Unless they were stupid.
When the group of people who came later saw someone starting a fire to eat, they wanted to warn them. However, when they got closer, they saw that the person who started the fire was Zhang Xiaobao. They immediately stopped talking and were very surprised. At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan still had the mood to bring their siblings here for sightseeing. Were they not concerned about the capture of the people?
When they turned their gazes and saw two people tied to a tree, everyone became speechless again. They did not need to ask to know who had been tied up.
The bandages on their bodies told them that they had been attacked and injured. There was a ninety percent chance that it was a gunshot wound. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan definitely would not engage in close combat. Although the two of them were very powerful, they still had their siblings to take care of.
"Young Master Xiao Bao, these two are …?" The leader of the group pointed at the two people tied to the tree and asked Zhang Xiaobao.
Before Zhang Xiaobao could answer, one of the tied people spoke first.
"Rabbit. The three of us are rabbits. I'm a gray rabbit, he's a white rabbit, and there's a mixed fur rabbit that's already dead."
"You … three? … rabbits? "the leader asked in puzzlement.
"Yes, rabbits." The gray rabbit signaled with his eyes and told the other party where the mixed fur rabbit was.
The leader's gaze followed and found that there was indeed a person in the grass whose head was cut open, revealing red and white matter. He couldn't be more dead.
"Codename?" he asked again.
"No, we don't have a codename. We're rabbits. Zhang Xiaobao said we're rabbits, so we're rabbits." The gray rabbit's mental state had already begun to become abnormal.
While the leader continued to be puzzled, Xiaobei, who was waiting by the pot and waiting for food, helped to explain, "Big Brother said that he would hunt rabbits for us, so we hit them and said that they were rabbits. In order not to continue being beaten, they admitted it. The one who spoke just now was the gray rabbit, the one whose shoulder was injured was the white rabbit, and the one who died was the mixed fur rabbit.
Now that you're here, we'll leave the rabbits to you. After we finish eating, we'll continue to play. The way you're searching now is wrong. If you want to catch rabbits, you have to learn from us and wait for rabbits.
We didn't deliberately look for rabbits. Just as we were preparing to cook, the rabbits bumped into the muzzle of the gun. They really couldn't think straight. Unfortunately, they're not real rabbits. There's no bone marrow to eat. They're just white and slightly yellow things that are very delicious. "
As Xiaobei spoke, she pointed at the person whose head was blown open, implying that white was like that.
The leader didn't know what to say anymore. Look at Zhang Xiaobao. He brought his family here for a vacation, but he could still casually catch people. His team, who specialized in searching, didn't even find a single hair. The difference, this was the difference. He couldn't help but be convinced.
It had nothing to do with luck. It definitely had nothing to do with it. Otherwise, why could they find the other party's important people everywhere they went? Why couldn't they do the same?
Many people in the team listened to Xiaobei's words. They looked at the things cooked in the pot and the dead person that Xiaobei was pointing at. They felt a chill in their hearts.
A person with a dog grinned and came over. He tried to make his voice as gentle as possible and asked Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, you, you look at a dead person. Can you still eat? Don't you feel disgusted? "
"Disgusted? I'd be disgusted if they were alive. They should have died long ago. They dared to betray the Great Tang. In my eyes, they're not humans, but beasts. A son doesn't despise his mother for being ugly, and a dog doesn't dislike being poor. They can't even be compared to a dog.
When we went to Hongnong County, we saw many dead people floating on the water. If they don't eat, they'll starve to death. Get used to it, get used to it. They can die by themselves, and we can eat by ourselves. If there's really nothing to eat, I think I can eat his meat too.
If they succeed, then more people will come to the Great Tang and cause trouble for the people of the Great Tang. That's the most unbearable thing. It's written in the books that in the past, when people were hungry, they would trade their children for food.
When people are forced to that point, they can do anything. In order to prevent the people of the Great Tang from trading their children for food, what's the point of eating next to a dead person? Am I right? "
Xiao Bei knew quite a bit, and his little mouth kept talking. He had a self-confident look on his face, and he didn't forget to smell the fragrance coming from the pot.
The person who asked the question and the others heard Xiaobei's words and were filled with respect. Not only for Xiaobei's group of children, but also for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
For a child to be raised like this and say such words, other than the fact that the child was smart, read a lot of books, liked to think about things, and had a lot of experience, it also showed that her family had been raising her like this.
They didn't know if others could represent everyone in the Great Tang, but the Zhang Family and Wang Family were definitely qualified.
"Young Master, what should we do with them?" The leader asked Zhang Xiaobao, who was preparing the tools to eat.
Zhang Xiaobao stopped and said, "I'll leave it to you. Let them take you to catch the people. I think you can catch some of them. Take out the fireworks they have and see what they look like. Have people buy the same fireworks and send them here.
After they found their hiding place, it would be difficult to find them elsewhere. Then, they would let people set off fireworks in different places to scare the other party. Then, they would shout that they would only catch the leader. As long as there was someone who cooperated, they would not be held accountable for their crimes and would even reward them.
If they're not with the main figure, then they can also be rewarded by capturing or killing the people around them. Their crimes will also be reduced. The more people they kill, the more crimes they'll be reduced. If they kill more than three people, not only will they be innocent, they'll also be rewarded. "
"Yes." The leader understood. After seeing the fireworks, the other party would definitely not believe that they were the ones who sent them. After all, there couldn't be so many fireworks.
The only explanation was that their people had been caught, and the other party had tortured them for useful information, so they set off the same fireworks.
It would make the people in the other party's hiding place uneasy. The leader of the other party would not trust his subordinates, and the people around him would be suspicious of each other. As long as they made a noise, they could find them.
As for whether it would be considered a merit if someone really killed the people around him, it was not something he needed to consider. He believed that the Young Master definitely had a perfect way to deal with it.
"Young Master, we'll go first." The leader ordered his subordinates to release the two tied people and give them treatment to take out the bullets. Then, the one with the shoulder injury walked by himself, and the one with the leg injury was carried to their hiding place.
Xiaobei stirred the pot with a spoon and said to them, "You guys eat something. There's a lot of soup in the pot. It's enough for one person to drink a mouthful. I'll eat less. Brother made it himself."
"Thank you, Xiaobei. We've just eaten, and we really can't eat anymore. You eat, and we'll leave immediately." The leader swallowed his saliva and said against his will.
They hadn't eaten yet. They were planning to find a relatively spacious place like the one Zhang Xiaobao found. They wanted to rest and eat something at the same time. When they smelled the fragrance, they were even hungrier. Moreover, it was hot soup. However, they couldn't snatch the food of a child.
They left. Zhang Xiaobao began to eat and spread out the oilcloth. After a while, he would let his younger brother and sister lie on it to bask in the sun. He and Wang Juan were naturally in charge of guarding.
