Chapter 1668: Encounter with Two Thieves
Chapter 1668: Encounter with Two Thieves
The abbot and Yan Ruyu came out of the city.
The abbot wore a head-mounted flashlight and spread his arms: "Look, this is the result of our labor. I told you, there is strength in numbers."
Yan Ruyu looked at the place where his light was shining, and could not help but nodded: "Don't mention it, it's true, the progress is really fast."
"Of course. When I told Governor Cao and the others about it, they were all shocked."
The abbot stretched his arms and legs, looked around, and took out the tricycle.
"Come on, come up!"
Yan Ruyu didn't really want to ride a tricycle, but she didn't want to spoil his fun. Besides, the place was flat and not bumpy, so after thinking it over, she decided to get on the tricycle.
There are small stools and large pillows on the tricycle. The abbot has prepared everything.
The headlights came on and the tricycle started.
Yan Ruyu sat on a small stool, leaning against a large pillow, and clinging to the side of the cart.
Feel the night breeze blowing from the front.
It's still a bit cold.
She took out a blanket and covered herself with it, squinting her eyes.
This feeling is not bad.
The abbot started singing in the front: "Great production, ah hu hey!"
Yan Ruyu: "..."
"What kind of songs are these? What era are they from?"
"It doesn't matter what era it is, as long as it can inspire people. I tell you, the songs from that time are still the most powerful."
"Now many people can sing and chant together."
Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Is it true?"
"How could I lie to you about this?" The abbot patted his chest. "While you are busy outside, I am also busy. We are also working very hard!"
The tricycle was about to reach the place where the materials were stored, and Yan Ruyu suddenly said, "Wait a minute, slow down."
The abbot stopped and whispered unconsciously: "What's wrong?"
"Turn out the lights."
The abbot turned the key and turned off the flashlight above his head, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness.
When they came out, the city was lit up, and they had flashlights and tricycles with them. I really didn't notice that it was a dark night with no stars.
The surroundings were as dark as if ink had been poured on them.
Neither of them spoke, and the sounds that they had not noticed before gradually became audible.
There are no insects chirping yet, but there is the sound of wind flowing through the treetops and the rustling of dry grass.
And the movement over there at the pile of materials.
The abbot heard it without Yan Ruyu's reminder.
The abbot opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Oh my god, I just said that no one dared to peek, and it's only been a short while since I said that, and you slapped me in the face."
"And it's much more serious than peeking."
“This is stealing!”
He lowered his voice, his throat about to spit fire: "The key is that they won't be able to use these things after they take them back."
Yan Ruyu waved her hand, got off the tricycle, and signaled him to put it away.
The abbot put away his tricycle as he had to work tonight, so he tied up his trouser legs and wore sneakers.
Yan Ruyu made a gesture and the two of them walked slowly over there.
The two of them worked in perfect harmony, one on the left and one on the right, slowly surrounding the pile of materials.
Yan Ruyu did not show her weapon. She thought the same thing as the abbot, that it was probably just some commoner who was curious, or thought it was a good thing and wanted to steal some.
Those instructions did scare a lot of people at first, but as time went on, it was inevitable that some people would be tempted.
Just catch the person, scare him a little and give him a minor punishment, that's all, there's no need to hurt his life.
After walking to the pile of materials, I heard someone whisper over there: "Did you hear any noise?"
"What's the noise?"
"Just now, it seemed like someone was singing something in a very strange tune."
The abbot heard it clearly and cursed in his heart, "Bah, you are the weird one, your whole family is weird."
The person on the other end continued, "What singing? I didn't hear it. Hurry up and pack it in a small bag so we can report back."
Yan Ruyu was moved. To get the job done? Listening to what these two people said, they didn't seem like ordinary people. They came here to steal materials and were instructed by someone.
"I don't know what this thing is. I've never seen it before, but it can build such a hard road."
"That's why you asked us to bring some back. You're knowledgeable and you might know it at a glance."
"Once we can build roads, we will have a lot of money rolling in. We can't stop it."
"That's right. Building roads is a good thing that can make money and gain reputation. The people of Youcheng said that they don't charge any money. Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it. The money must have been taken away by the government, and then they divided the spoils among themselves."
Yan Ruyu listened and sneered silently.
A knife appeared in his palm and he strode out.
As soon as she appeared, the two thieves noticed her immediately, became alert, grabbed the steel knives at hand, and faced her with their swords.
"who?"
Yan Ruyu looked at the two people in front of her. They were less than 30 years old, of medium build, and very ordinary. They would be hard to find if thrown into a crowd.
The one on the left is thinner, wearing a dark yellow robe with the corners of the robe tucked into his belt.
He had a slightly dark skin, a mustache, his eyes rolled around, and he held a steel knife in his hand.
The one on the right is a little fat, wearing a grey robe, with relatively fair skin, a big mole at the right corner of his eyebrow, and more white in his eyes, making him look a little fierce.
He also held a knife in his hand, but it was not an ordinary steel knife, but a big knife with a handle on it.
It seems that he is a good knife user.
At the same time, the two were also looking at Yan Ruyu.
When they first saw that she was a young and beautiful woman, they couldn't help but smile.
Looking more closely, I feel that it looks somewhat familiar.
"Who are you?" asked the man with a moustache.
"I advise you to leave quickly and don't get involved in our affairs," Da Dao threatened, "otherwise, our swords will not spare your life."
Yan Ruyu chuckled: "Okay, you two don't want to kill me yet."
"You are a weak woman," the man with the mustache had a lustful look in his eyes, "it would be a pity to kill you."
Although he felt that Yan Ruyu looked familiar, Yan Ruyu was dressed neatly and neatly tonight, which was very different from usual.
He couldn't recognize the mustache for a moment and didn't think about it anymore. His lust for beauty took over again.
He took a step forward, put the knife in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand, wanting to touch Yan Ruyu's face.
Yan Ruyu sneered, then swung her knife back and slashed at his arm.
The man with the big knife next to him was startled and quickly raised his hand to block with the knife. If he had not blocked it in time and blocked most of the force, the knife would have cut off the man with the mustache's arm.
Even so, blood immediately gushed out of the mustache man's arm.
"Ah," he was startled and quickly covered the wound.
Dadao frowned and narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"
Yan Ruyu sneered without saying anything. Dadao had a bad feeling and suddenly heard someone shouting behind him.
"She is your ancestor!"
The two turned around and saw a big guy appear behind them at some point.
A green iron frame with three wheels and a round object like colored glass in the middle.
There was also a bald old man sitting on it. He had no hair but a lot of beard.
He was wearing a beige robe, black pants with the legs tied, and on his feet... a pair of weird shoes.
"you……"
The two were surprised and before they could finish their words, the abbot turned on the headlights.
