The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Lin Congyun finally thought of an excuse to fool Ergou, but he didn't expect that he would just kneel on the ground and beg, muttering something.

"Oh, God, please bless them..."

Ergou kowtowed to the sky as he spoke.

Lin Congyun was confused by Ergou's reaction. Isn't Ergou too superstitious?

But think about it, ancient people believed in these things. Plus, the phenomenon of a solar eclipse is rare, so it's normal for people to feel scared.

She shook her head slightly and did not continue explaining, letting Ergou kneel on the ground and beg.

After Ergou finished praying, Lin Congyun said, "Get up, we should hurry on our way."

Ergou nodded, stood up, followed Lin Congyun and got on the horse.

On the way, Lin Congyun asked, "Is there anyone else at home?"

"I have a mother and a younger sister at home." Ergou replied.

"So?" Lin Congyun was a little puzzled.

Ergou was silent for a while before he spoke slowly: "I was originally learning carpentry skills from a master in the village. Later... Later, a natural disaster hit the village. My mother and sister both... died in the disaster. I... I luckily survived..."

When asked about someone's sad story, Lin Congyun quickly changed the subject, "Then why did you want to become a bandit?"

When Lin Congyun asked this question, he clearly felt Ergou's body behind him stiffen slightly.

"I... I was wandering outside, and then I met them. In order to have a meal, I... I took this path again."

Ergou's voice became lower and lower, and was almost inaudible at the end.

Lin Congyun sighed and said nothing more.

Fortunately, Qingfeng Mountain was approaching, and under the leadership of Ergou, they soon arrived at the bandits' lair.

Lin Congyun took the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment and found that the entrance to the cave was actually in a depression in the stone wall.

Moreover, the sunken area was covered by a vine.

If there was no one leading the way, we would never have discovered that there was a cave here.

After entering the cave, you first have to walk through a winding path.

The path is extremely narrow, only enough for one person to pass through. There are hard stone walls on both sides, and you will bump into them if you are not careful.

After walking for about ten minutes, the scene in front of them suddenly became open and they came to a huge cave.

The cave is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. No wonder the bandits chose to hide here.

Lin Congyun turned to look at Ergou beside him and asked, "Ergou, do you know where those valuable things are hidden in this cave?"

Ergou pointed in a direction and said, "That's where our boss lives. Ordinary people can't go in there."

Lin Congyun walked directly to the slightly shabby wooden door and kicked it mercilessly. The wooden door opened with a "bang", revealing the dim scene inside the house.

A musty smell wafted into his nose. Lin Congyun frowned slightly but did not stop.

She walked into the house and saw that it was simply furnished with a few worn wooden tables and chairs, and a wooden bed covered with thin bedding. It was obvious that the living conditions here were extremely difficult.

Lin Congyun looked around. In a house that he could see through to the bottom, where would he put the valuables?

But she knew very well that the more shabby a place seemed, the more unknown secrets it often hid.

She had a sharp gaze and did not miss any corner of the house.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a shabby wooden table, where there seemed to be a small bulge that was out of place with the surrounding environment.

Lin Congyun squatted down and gently brushed away the dust with her hand, and saw a secret compartment appear in front of her.

She was delighted and carefully opened the secret compartment, only to see an exquisite wooden box inside.

Lin Congyun carefully took out the exquisite wooden box and opened it gently. It was full of silver bills.

She didn't even count them and put them directly into the stone chamber in the space.

Then he came out and moved everything that could be moved out of the cave. Of course, he made sure to avoid Ergou when moving.

Anyway, Lin Congyun moved all the things into the house and asked Ergou to guard outside. He had no idea that all the things in the house would disappear.

Until Lin Congyun called Ergou and prepared to go back, he thought that Lin Congyun was just looking for valuable treasures, rather than directly emptying out everything in the nest.

After returning, Ergou entered the space and saw that it was daybreak and no snow had fallen. He was still asking whether the solar eclipse had passed.

Ergou looked at the scene in front of him in confusion, then looked at Lin Congyun, and was urged to leave quickly.

As the two were about to approach, bursts of shrill wails were heard in the distance.

Lin Congyun's heart tightened and his pace involuntarily quickened as he ran eagerly towards the source of the sound.

There was chaos ahead, with nearly thirty bandits lying on the ground, groaning in pain and wailing.

Their faces were distorted and their bodies were curled up, obviously suffering great pain.

Among this group of suffering bandits, a mighty white tiger was standing majestically, with a bandit leader under its claws. The leader had a pale face and his eyes were full of fear and despair.

Lin Congyun hurried forward to check and found that these bandits were all badly injured, but fortunately no one was dead.

There was also a group of bandits who hid far away, watching everything in horror.

When Baihu saw Lin Congyun coming, he immediately let go of the bandit leader under his claws, ran to Lin Congyun, and rubbed her trouser leg, as if to ask for credit.

Lin Congyun patted Baihu's head to comfort him, then looked at the cowering bandit and asked coldly, "What on earth happened?"

The uninjured bandits hiding aside looked at each other, and finally Ergou stepped forward and found a bandit.

"Sanniu, what happened? Tell the old lady quickly!"

The bandit named Sanniu walked tremblingly to Lin Congyun, lowered his head and dared not look at her.

"Sanniu, don't be afraid, tell the old lady everything you know." Ergou comforted.

Sanniu swallowed and then hesitantly told the whole story.

It turned out that after Lin Congyun left, the bandit leader became dissatisfied and began to incite other bandits to flee the forest.

When the old bandits who had followed their leader for many years heard this, they all responded.

However, not all bandits were willing to obey their leader's decision.

They were well aware of the White Tiger's power and were afraid that if they resisted, they would end up with their heads and bodies separated.

Therefore, these bandits chose to remain silent and wait and see what would happen.

Those who fell to the ground were the bandits who wanted to escape with the bandit leader.
