Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

The guards on Zhuangzi's watchtower had already spotted this group of sneaky figures.

Qiao Feng narrowed his eyes and used the moonlight to see the miserable appearance of the defeated soldiers.

He gestured calmly, and the guards under the watchtower immediately understood and quietly dispersed into the darkness.

The traps around Zhuangzi had already been set, waiting for these defeated soldiers to fall into the trap.

"Boss, why is this village so quiet?" The skinny defeated soldier shrank his neck, feeling that something was wrong.

Scarface kicked him impatiently: "Shut up! Find food quickly!"

Just as the defeated soldiers reached the outskirts of the village, they suddenly felt empty under their feet and seven or eight of them fell into a deep pit at the same time.

There were sharpened bamboo spikes standing at the bottom of the pit, which could pierce a person through in an instant.

The screams scared away the night birds in the forest.

"There's an ambush!" Scarface was horrified and turned around to run away.

Dozens of torches suddenly lit up in the darkness, surrounding the fleeing soldiers.

Qiao Feng held a longbow and said coldly, "Don't let any of them escape."

The sounds of arrows breaking through the air rang out one after another, and the defeated soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Scarface left his companions and ran away.

damn it!

Why are there so many tough guys everywhere?

Scarface cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop and tried his best to get into the darkness.

"Boss, wait for me!" Several defeated soldiers hurriedly followed, their voices full of fear.

Scarface rolled and crawled, finally shaking off the pursuers, and rushed into a dense forest in panic.

Several other fleeing soldiers followed closely behind, all of them panting, with fear written all over their faces.

"Why are there only a few of you left?" Scarface turned around to count the number of people. The team that originally had dozens of people now had only five left. He was immediately furious.

"Boss, this village is very weird. Let's run away!" A defeated soldier said tremblingly. The rain of arrows just now was too scary. He was hit by an arrow in the arm and the blood could not stop flowing.

Scarface spat and said harshly, "Run? Where to run? We have no food or water. We will starve to death if we run away!"

He looked around and vaguely saw a path leading to a village in the distance.

"Go further inside." Scarface's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, "We have to get something to eat!"

He just didn't believe that there could be traps everywhere in this remote place.

The defeated soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies forward along the path.

About half an hour later, a small village appeared in front of us. Dozens of households were scattered at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed particularly quiet.

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, several swaying figures could be vaguely seen, holding weapons in their hands, and they were obviously also on guard.

"Damn it, even a broken village has people guarding the night!" Scarface cursed inwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

What's wrong with this world?

Even a broken village is so difficult to conquer!

He glared at the blurry figures at the entrance of the village with gritted teeth, but he was unwilling to return empty-handed.

"Boss, how about we go around to the back mountain?" a defeated soldier suggested in a low voice, "I think there seems to be no one guarding that side."

Scarface squinted his eyes and saw a path behind the village, winding into the mountains.

He laughed grimly: "Let's go! Get in from the back!"

The defeated soldiers crouched down and, under the cover of darkness, quietly moved around to the back of the mountain.

"Boss, look, this house is very big and even has a courtyard wall!" A defeated soldier lowered his voice and pointed to a magnificent house in front.

Under the moonlight, the house with blue bricks and black tiles and high walls was obviously not an ordinary farmer's house.

Scarface's eyes gleamed: "This is the one!"

He waved his hand, and several people tiptoed to the courtyard wall.

Hey.

That's right.

This is the Song Yan family again.

At this time, these people were trying to climb over the wall to enter the courtyard, but they did not notice that at the foot of the mountain not far away, a pair of dark green animal eyes were staring at them coldly.

Just as they climbed over the wall, the two people who were sleeping in the room suddenly opened their eyes.

"There's movement." A Qian turned over and sat up, moving as fast as a cheetah, and picked up the dagger beside the pillow.

A Kun also woke up. He quickly reached under the bed, pulled out an iron rod, and looked out the window vigilantly.

"They climbed in from the backyard wall. Judging from the noise, there aren't many people." A Kun listened for a moment and whispered.

A Qian nodded and made a gesture for silence. The two of them walked towards the door quietly, one in front and one behind.

Even though they are just ordinary servants, those who were sent by Shu Changyu to serve Song Yan are not ordinary people.

These two men were originally good fighters in the secret guard camp. After they retired due to injuries, they were arranged by Shu Changyu to come to the manor. They were servants in name only, but actually they were guards.

Outside the courtyard wall, Scarface and his men had just climbed into the yard and had not yet gained a firm foothold when suddenly a black shadow pounced on them and bit the calf of one of them.

"what!"

"There are dogs, there are dogs!"

As early as Scarface and the others approached the courtyard wall, Gousheng had pricked up his ears alertly, but he didn't make a sound.

As the saying goes, a barking dog never bites.

As an experienced guarddog, Gousheng knows this well.

It came out of its nest quietly and saw several dark figures sneaking down the wall.

It then pounced forward and bit one of them on the calf.

Scarface was shocked and started slashing with his knife.

Gousheng dodged swiftly, raising his head and letting out a long howl.

Gousheng is indeed a wolf-dog hybrid. His howl sounds like a wolf, which is particularly creepy in the silent night.

Then, all the dogs in the village were alarmed. The barking of dogs one after another instantly broke through the night sky, making the silent night boil.

Scarface and his companions were startled by the sudden barking of the dog. They were about to rush forward in panic, but they were tripped by something and fell heavily to the ground.

There was a dull thud, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, and one of them screamed in pain.

A Qian and A Kun looked at each other, seized this fleeting opportunity, and rushed out like two black shadows.

The short knife in Aqian's hand flashed with a cold light and accurately pierced into the back of a fleeing soldier. The man fell to the ground without even a groan.

A Kun swung the iron rod and hit the scar-faced man hard on the head.

Scarface reacted quickly and subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but with a "click" sound, his arm broke.

"Ah——" Scarface let out a shrill scream and rolled on the ground in pain.

The remaining few defeated soldiers were so frightened upon seeing this that they dared not fight any longer and tried to escape over the courtyard wall by crawling.

At this time, other families in the village were also alarmed. Quanzi and others from the patrol team guarding the village entrance carefully identified the direction of the sound.

"It's Xiao Song's family!"

"Something must have happened. I know Xiao Song's dog. It usually doesn't bark randomly."

Quanzi immediately led the patrol team to the Song family.

Opposite the Niu family.

The moment they heard the noise, Aniu and Uncle Niu grabbed their weapons and rushed out.

I happened to see a few dark shadows falling from the wall, stumbling towards the foot of the mountain.

"Stop!" Aniu shouted, picked up a hoe and chased after him.

Uncle Niu rushed into the Song family yard and saw Aqian and Akun beating up two defeated soldiers.

"What's going on?" Uncle Niu asked breathlessly.

"A few blind thieves." A Qian wiped the blood off the dagger and said in a calm tone.

Uncle Niu then noticed that there were two bodies lying on the ground and he gasped.

Over there, Aniu chased someone to the foot of the mountain, but the person ran too fast and he couldn't catch up. He could only watch the person run away.

Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed out from the woods and knocked the fleeing soldiers to the ground.

Under the moonlight, a pair of dark green animal eyes flashed coldly.

"Big beast!" Ah Niu took two steps back in shock and clenched the hoe in his hand.

The fleeing soldier was so frightened that his soul left his body. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The male tiger lowered its head and sniffed his neck, then raised its head without interest and its eyes fell on Aniu.

Aniu's whole body was stiff and cold sweat soaked his back.

Just when he thought he was doomed, the tiger turned around and left, disappearing into the dense forest.

Aniu stood there for a long time before he came to his senses and dragged the unconscious soldier back.

At this time, Quanzi came with the patrol team. Seeing Aniu dragging someone, he hurried forward to help.

"What's going on?" Quanzi asked breathlessly, his eyes wide open.

Ah Niu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear: "This guy wanted to run away, but he ran into a big bug."

"Big beast?!" Everyone gasped when they heard this.

"The big beast didn't hurt you?" Quanzi looked Aniu up and down with an incredible look on his face.

Ah Niu shook his head, equally confused: "It looked at me and left, as if... as if it had no interest in me."

Everyone looked at each other, and they all thought that this matter was strange.

"Don't worry about it for now, just take the person back first." Quanzi calmed himself down and told everyone to go back.

When they returned to the Song family yard, Uncle Niu and A Qian had already tied up the remaining defeated soldiers.

Scarface had a broken arm and was groaning in pain. The other two defeated soldiers were also beaten black and blue and shivered in the corner.

"What about the other one?" Aqian asked.

Ah Niu threw the unconscious soldier to the ground and said, "He fainted from being frightened by a giant tiger. I found him in the woods over there."

"Big bug?" Aqian and Akun looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"Lock these people up first and send them to the authorities at daybreak," Aqian suggested.

Quanzi nodded and said, "I'll leave a few people here to guard them so they don't run away."

After everything was arranged, everyone dispersed, leaving only a few strong men in the Song family yard to guard the defeated soldiers.

Before leaving, Aniu couldn't help but look down the mountain again. He felt that the pair of dark green animal eyes were still staring at him in the dark.

"Strange..." He scratched the back of his head and followed Uncle Niu home.
