As expected, after fifteen minutes.
The grass in the distance suddenly moved, and then a white-haired old man came out.
After the latter came out, he looked around.
After confirming that no one was following them.
Just now, he came to the firewood and quickly rummaged through the pile of firewood. Then, he picked up the axe. A smile appeared on his wrinkled face. Then, he turned around and walked into the town.
Until the old man's back disappeared at the corner of the street.
Only then did Zhang Qifeng, Lord Zeng, and the others crawl out of the bushes.
The Eighth Master Qi Tiezui looked at Zhang Qifeng with admiration and said,""Little Lord Zeng, aren't you too amazing? He was really good at divination. He actually thought that the old man would come back. Even I can't compare to you!"
"It's normal. Everyone in this town has moved away. Only this old man was still around. This meant that he lived nearby. The axe was the most important tool for the villagers in the mountains. Therefore, the old man would not abandon the axe no matter what. Otherwise, how could he cut firewood in the future?”Zhang Qifeng said indifferently.
"Impressive, truly impressive. As expected of the little Empress Dowager. What should we do next?”
Lord Eight asked again.
"Of course, we have to follow him. This old man has been living here all this time. Moreover, he ran away immediately when he saw us. Obviously, he has some secrets. Maybe he knows something about the Japanese pirates, so we have to find him and ask him clearly.”
Before Zhang Qifeng could speak.
Lord Zeng was the first to speak.
Then, he took the lead and walked in the direction where the old man had left.
Watching Lord Zeng's disappearing figure, Zhang Qifeng and the adjutant quickly followed.
When the Eighth Master Qi Tiezui saw this, he could only follow.
After all, this town was too strange. He did not dare to stay here alone.
About fifteen minutes later.
Everyone finally followed the old man to another house.
The old man scanned the surroundings before entering the door. After making sure that no one was following him, he pushed the door open and walked in. Then, the door closed. Lord Zeng didn't stop after seeing the old man walk into the house. He quickly walked to the door and pushed it open with his left hand.
The group of people entered in a single file.
He saw that the entire courtyard was very tidy.
Clearly, this was the old man's residence.
He looked ahead and saw that the door of the house was tightly shut. From time to time, he could still hear humming.
Obviously, the old man was inside.
Seeing this, Lord Zeng turned to look at Deputy Zhang and said,""Open the door."
"Yes, Lord Zeng."
Hearing that, Zhang Rishan hurriedly walked forward.
He quickly walked to the door of the inner room and pushed it with his hand. The door was pushed open and the old man appeared in front of everyone. When the old man saw the sudden appearance of the few people, his face revealed a terrified expression as he said,"Who…are you? What do you want? Don't kill me."
"Don't worry, old man. We're good people. We won't kill you. We're only here to ask you a few questions.”Zhang Rishan looked at the frightened old man and comforted him.
After hearing this.
The old man gradually relaxed.
Soon after, Zhang Qifeng, Lord Zeng, and Lord Eight Qi Tiezui also walked in.
As soon as the latter entered, he picked up a 3.8 rifle on the table and said,"Something from the pirates? Why was he here? Old man, are you from the Cherry Blossom Country?”
"No, I'm Chinese. I only picked up these things.”
The old man quickly explained.
However, there was a hint of flickering in his words.
"Picked it up? What a joke. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Even among the Japanese pirates, only a few people can equip this kind of 38 rifles. You actually have more than ten of them here. Are you that lucky? Why haven't I picked it up before? I think you are colluding with the pirates and want to betray our country, right?”Master Eight said with a serious expression. Moreover, his words were a little scary.
"It's not like that. I really picked up these guns.”The old man said in a panic.
Obviously, he was afraid of being accused of colluding with the Japanese.
One had to know,
The area around Changsha City was still controlled by the national army.
If anyone was found to be in cahoots with the pirates, they would basically be shot on the spot. Therefore, the old man had no choice but to be afraid.
"Alright, since you picked it up, then bring us to the place where you picked it up. How about it? If we confirm that you picked them up, we won't touch these things and we can even give you some money. However, if you don't cooperate, we can only help the country get rid of the thief.”
As he spoke, Master Eight shook the gun in his hand.
"This…Alright, I can take you there.”
The old man's face was bitter.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to lead the way.
After all, the old man had lived for so many years and was naturally a smart person. He could see that the people in front of him were not good people. If he did not lead the way, he was afraid that he would really die here.
Moreover, he would die in vain.
Thus, he could only choose to lead the way.
"At least you know what's good for you.”
Master Eight patted the old man, indicating for him to walk in front.
After that, the group of people walked out of the courtyard. After leaving the courtyard, the group of people walked towards the back of the mountain under the lead of the old man. Half an hour later, Master Eight asked impatiently,""How is it? Old man, are we not there yet? Don't play with us, or you know the consequences.”
"Warrior, you must be joking. How would I dare to fool you? That place was just ahead, and they were almost there.”
The old man said with some fear.
Hearing this, everyone continued to walk forward. After walking for nearly fifteen minutes, they finally saw a courtyard in the distance. However, before they could be happy, a stench assaulted them.
"F * ck, what is that? It's actually so smelly? And there were so many flies in this place? Old man, you really have a bad taste. You actually came to this kind of place to pick up things?”Qi Tiezui complained.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhang Qifeng said in a serious tone,""If I'm not mistaken, this smell should be the stench of a corpse. There should be a lot of corpses in the courtyard, right?”
