Peerless Young Master
Chapter 41: Da Mo was captured
Ten days later.
It hasn't snowed for two consecutive days. Although the sun is still hiding behind the clouds, the temperature is relatively higher than before.
The snow on the ground is gradually melting, and now is the time to go hiking.
Based on past experience, if you miss it, you will most likely have to wait another half a month.
The snow on Heilong Mountain falls without any reason.
"Be careful along the way. If you can take the main road, take the main road. If that's not possible, come back and wait for the weather to get better before going again."
At the entrance of the village, Xiao Xuan was carrying a bag filled with hot pot base; Da Mo was also ready to go, with the hatchet at his waist polished to a shine.
Although the weather has improved, the roads have become more difficult to walk on and if you are not careful, you will slip.
Li Xuan knew Xiao Xuan's stubborn temper. It was her first time walking on a mountain road, and she must have felt a sense of pride and responsibility in her heart.
"Don't worry, we will come back safely."
After waving goodbye, the two left the village.
Xiao Yidao and Li Xuan stood at the gate of the village, looking at each other until they could no longer see each other.
Suddenly, Xiao Yidao spoke: "I promised you before that if you could gather enough food, I would not kill you; now that the plan to escape from the mountains has been successful, the village has enough food for the winter.
When are you planning to leave?"
Li Xuan frowned, not knowing whether Xiao Yidao was asking this question at this time or testing it, so he said politely: "Let's wait and see after the New Year and the beginning of spring. After all, we haven't completely solved the food problem for the village yet."
What this means is that I still have value.
"The plan to go up the mountain is also a plan to go down the mountain, right?"
Looking at Xiao Yidao's calm words, which revealed the core of the plan to leave the mountain in one sentence, Li Xuan felt very uncomfortable, as if he was being seen through and felt embarrassed and panicked.
There was never a plan to hike up the mountain, only a plan to go down the mountain.
He was unwilling to stay in Black Dragon Mountain, nor was he willing to stay here.
But right now, he didn't know how to answer.
Even though the other party has been very nice to him these days, it doesn't change the fact that this is a bandit's den.
Living is just because it is valuable.
Now the plan to go down the mountain has been completely implemented. Even without him, Xiao Yidao can go down the mountain to buy food. The only thing he doesn't know is the steps to make hot pot.
If the other party really wanted to know, he knew he couldn't withstand the torture.
As he thought about it, Li Xuan felt a slight chill on his back. He subconsciously tightened his clothes, but he couldn't dispel the chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Yidao naturally saw that Li Xuan looked panicked and frightened at the moment, but he didn't care: "What do you think of the village?"
"Village"?
"Um"
Li Xuan lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer, so he could only choose to be positive: "It's fine, the people in the village are very nice to me."
"What about Xiao Xuan?"
"Brother Xuan is not bad either. Although he has a bit of a bad temper, he is still very enthusiastic and has good skills."
"Have you ever considered marrying her?"
"It's good to consider it. For me... um"
Li Xuan was answering to himself when he suddenly remembered something and looked up abruptly: "Boss Xiao, what did you just say?"
"Marry Xiao Xuan"
Li Xuan laughed: "You are such a joker. How could I dare to have such an idea? If Brother Xuan knew about it, he would kill me."
“It doesn’t matter if you didn’t think about it before, what matters is whether you have thought about it now.”
The smile on Li Xuan's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked uncertainly: "Are you serious?"
Xiao Yidao sighed, his eyes looking into the distance, outlining a bit of imperceptible tenderness and vicissitudes, and it was obvious that he was a man with a story.
After a while, he spoke: "This Black Dragon Mountain is not a good place. I feel that you can leave here. I want to hand Xiao Xuan over to you. With you around, I can feel at ease."
I feel uneasy when she is around.
Li Xuan shouted in his heart, and then asked the question that had been in his mind all along: "If you want to leave, you can leave at any time, why do you have to stay here?"
Li Xuan couldn't understand why Xiao Yidao and Xiao Xuan were so powerful and the nearby villages were no match for them. Wouldn't it be very easy for them to go down the mountain?
Why do we have to stay in Heilongshan and endure the exploitation of those villages?
"You do not understand"
Xiao Yidao shook his head: "I'll keep this question for now and ask you when the opportunity is right."
With that, he left and returned to the bungalow.
Li Xuan's eyes flickered. He really didn't understand why the other party said that, and felt vaguely uneasy.
…………
"Dad, it's bad, Uncle Damo has been arrested"
The next day, just as the sky was getting light, a figure appeared in the village. It appeared suddenly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then, a hurried and panicked voice was heard.
Xiao Yidao quickly put on his clothes, opened the door, looked at his daughter's panicked look, and said, "What happened? Did you meet someone from another village and your things were stolen?"
"No"
Xiao Xuan shook her head: "Uncle Dama was detained by Gao Quan."
Xiao Yidao frowned: "Why would Gao Quan do this for no reason?"
Xiao Xuan hurriedly said, "Yesterday, when we were going down the mountain and passing through the territory of Hanlan Village, Gao Quan sent people to wait for us there, wanting us to go down the mountain to buy wine and food.
I didn't agree. When we came back, he used the excuse that something was lost in Hanlan Village to steal our things and also detained Uncle Damai.
I suspect he wants to threaten us into bringing him something."
"Dad, Uncle Damo is still in their hands, let's go save him"
"Don't rush"
Xiao Yidao comforted him, "We must rescue the people, but they only detained Da Mo and released you. It's obvious that they have made preparations. If you go there rashly, you might fall into their trap."
"Dad, what should we do?" Xiao Xuan was at a loss.
Xiao Yidao's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, and an invisible murderous aura seemed to permeate his body. How dare a mere ant touch his people?
Immediately, he thought of something, and the murderous aura disappeared: "You go find Li Xuan and tell him about this, he will know what to do."
Xiao Xuan opened his eyes: "Dad, what's the point of looking for him? He doesn't know martial arts."
"He cares about the plan to leave the mountain more than anyone else. He will definitely take it to heart when something like this happens. Even the Wild Wolf Village was destroyed in the blink of an eye, so what can a mere Hanlan Village do?"
Xiao Xuan hesitated.
"Dad promises you, if anything happens to the desert, Dad will uproot Hanlan Village and leave no one alive."
"Okay, then I'll go find Li Xuan."
Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment and then went to find Li Xuan.
"Teng"
The door was kicked open and a gust of cold wind rushed in instantly. The sound of the wind and the kicking of the door instantly woke Li Xuan up.
Seeing Xiao Xuan walking in angrily, Xiao Xiaoxuan was so scared that he stood up straight. He even sat up directly and began to reflect in his mind whether he had done anything wrong.
"Uncle Damo was arrested"
Hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he jumped out of bed like a dragon and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you go hiking?"
"It's Hanlan Village..." Xiao Xuan told what happened and saw Li Xuan walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"Go save Damo! If Gaoquan dares to hurt Brother Damo, I'll tear his head off!"
