The sky was slightly bright, the wilderness ended, and the mountains loomed.

Chen Fan was walking alone on the road, covering his face with a cloth and holding a spear in one hand, feeling a little heavy.

When he went to Songjiabao yesterday, he knew that danger might occur, but he was still full of expectations.

Today, it's quite different.

"When a car reaches the mountain, there will be a road, and when a boat reaches the bridge, it will be straight. It is useless to think too much. It is better to adapt to the situation and act according to the situation."

Chen Fan felt much more relaxed when he thought about it.

After all, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. Difficulties and setbacks are the normal state of life. Only maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude is the correct way to deal with difficulties and setbacks.

He walked quickly, and within half an hour, he saw the city wall of Songjiabao.

Still the same as yesterday, I passed through the crowd of beggars and arrived under the city wall.

It was still early, but there were many people waiting to enter at the door. They gathered around and talked quietly.

On the city wall, there were already many guards armed with rifles, standing together in twos and threes, puffing away smoke and chatting.

Chen Fan looked up, wanting to see who among them was wearing a telescope.

In fact, he also knew that this method was very unreliable, because it was not ruled out that the person would put the telescope in his pocket, just like him now, but other than that, he had no other method.

After a quick glance, I found nothing.

"No rush."

He secretly thought to himself that it seemed that there were still many guards who had not come. Later he would find an unobtrusive place to take a closer look at the situation.

Time passed bit by bit, and more and more people came from all directions.

The atmosphere gradually became warmer.

"Did you hear that?"

A rough voice suddenly sounded, "Those horse thieves outside have been killed!"

"What!"

Suddenly there was a sound of exclamation outside, and the movement was so loud that not only Chen Fan, but also more than a dozen guards standing on the city wall looked over.

"Brother, what did you just say?" A few meters away, a man was dumbfounded. "You said those horse thieves outside are all dead?"

"Really? Who can kill them?"

"Brother, are you kidding us this early in the morning?"

Everyone was talking to each other, looking forward to the person who spoke before in anticipation and disbelief.

The speaker was a tall man about forty years old, wearing a tattered coat, with disheveled hair like a chicken coop, and a pair of bright eyes.

Seeing that he instantly became the focus of the crowd, and even the guards on the city wall looked towards him, Quan Erpeng was very proud, raised his head high, and said: "Is this still false? I

See with your own eyes the corpses of those horse thieves!"

There was silence again.

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Could it be that this person is one of the people who looked at me from a distance yesterday?

"Brother, what on earth is going on?"

"Yes, brother, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly."

Everyone urged.

When they heard the word "horse thieves", they became frightened, fearing that one day these guys would attack them. If, if what this old man said was true, those horse thieves were all dead, that would be great news!

Ten years ago, you would have bought several hundred yuan of firecrackers and celebrated for three days and three nights.

"Hey."

Being praised by everyone, Quan Erpeng laughed and said: "What's the hurry? Isn't that what I was about to say?"

Chen Fan pricked up his ears and listened word for word, gradually understanding what was going on.

It turned out that after he and others left, several more people passed by, and they were all stunned when they saw this scene.

Fortunately, who among the people alive today has never seen a corpse? They are all numb.

After hesitating for a moment, a few people stepped forward decisively and searched for items one by one, even the clothes on the corpse.

After scratching, someone discovered that something was wrong. One of them had a scar on his face and a bald head. He seemed to be a horse thief?

When the number was another pair, these people suddenly took a breath of air.

This group of people seems to be really a group of horse thieves?

What is puzzling is who killed them?

At this time, more people arrived one after another, and the news spread like wildfire and reached the ears of the man who spoke.

As for other people, coming from other directions, they naturally don't know about this matter.

"hiss……"

After the words fell, everyone in the audience took a breath of air.

"So, those horse thieves are really, really dead?"

Some people couldn't believe it.

Quan Erpeng said unhappily: "I saw it with my own eyes, how can I lie to you? There are more than thirty corpses in total, and one of them is bald."

"That's right, the number of people is about right," a person next to him agreed: "And the leader of the group of horse thieves is indeed a bald man, and his surname seems to be Wu."

"Yes, yes, I also saw that group of people running past me on horseback, as if they were chasing someone. I was so scared that my legs went weak and I thought the fun was over."

"Then if you put it like that, those horse thieves are really dead?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became quiet again.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to believe it, but the news comes too suddenly.

"Of course he's dead," Quan Erpeng's voice sounded, "In short, from today on, everyone no longer has to worry about encountering horse thieves."

"If that's the case, that would be great."

"Yes, I don't know which kind-hearted person it was, but he killed all those horse thieves. What a good person!"

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone nodded.

Chen Fan wanted to laugh when he heard this.

The good man you keep mentioning is standing in front of you at this moment.

However, he still likes to brush away his clothes and hide his merit and fame deeply.

At this moment, a conversation on the city wall made his whole body tremble and his heart beat faster.

"Wu Bing and his group were killed? Impossible, right?"

One of the guards didn't believe it: "These guys are very clever. They specialize in picking out enemies who are weaker than them. When they encounter ruthless people, they always take a detour. How could they be killed cleanly?"

"I don't think it's possible. Even if you're unlucky and get kicked on the iron plate, it's not difficult to escape with a few survivors, right? There are more than thirty people, and not one of them survives?"

"I think that guy is probably bragging."

"Hey? Yang Xiaochun,"

A voice sounded, "Didn't you see the group of horse thieves through the telescope yesterday afternoon?"

After a brush stroke, almost all eyes on the city wall fell on a thin young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

Including, Chen Fan.

Yang Xiaochun was listening to the excitement and was secretly happy that he was the only one who knew the truth. Suddenly someone asked him this question out of the blue, which frightened him so much that his expression changed.

"What's wrong?"

When the others saw this, their faces were full of doubts.

"No, it's nothing."

Yang Xiaochun forced a smile, licked his lips, and explained: "Yes, in the afternoon, I saw the group of horse thieves through the telescope, but at that time I saw that those guys were killing people, and their methods were extremely cruel.

I was so frightened that I turned pale and didn't dare to look any further. Even now, when I think about it, I still feel scared."

"So that's it."

The person who asked the question apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiaochun, I shouldn't have asked you to remind you of what happened yesterday afternoon."

"Xiaochun, your Uncle Xu doesn't mean any harm. He just asked a question, so don't take it seriously."

"It's okay, Uncle Xu, it's nothing."

Yang Xiaochun smiled and said, "Everyone usually takes good care of me, how could I take it seriously?"

"Hahaha."
