Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 1015 The Robbers Were Outsmarted

Xiao Wei followed the trail of trampled weeds on the ground and finally arrived at the edge of a steep slope.

Here, he found that apart from the obvious marks left by someone rolling down, there were no footprints of anyone following behind; he only saw that the footsteps suddenly changed direction and moved away to the side.

Faced with this situation, Xiao Wei did not blindly follow the footsteps away. Instead, he stopped and used his flashlight to shine the beam into the dark slope below.

He shouted: Hey! Is anyone down there?

Unfortunately, there was complete silence all around, and no one answered.

After receiving no feedback, Xiao Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go down and check if there were any injured people.

Due to the loose stones underfoot and the steep slope, each step he took was extremely difficult and slow.

After finally reaching the bottom of the slope, Xiao Wei held up his flashlight and shone it into the pile of wild grass.

Just as he had expected, there was a young girl lying there quietly.

Judging from her appearance, the girl is quite young, about the same age as Jiang Jiyun.

At this moment, her face was covered in bloodstains, and she was no longer recognizable.

Xiao Wei hurriedly stepped forward and carefully checked the girl's nasal passages, only to find that he could no longer detect her breathing.

Then, he reached out and gently touched the other person's neck with his fingers, trying to feel the pulse rate.

When his fingertips touched that extremely faint throbbing, Xiao Wei had a bad feeling. He immediately and without hesitation took out two special pills from his pocket and quickly stuffed them into the girl's mouth.

Only after he could feel the girl's breath did he begin to examine her injuries.

The girl's legs were in an odd position, clearly broken, and there was a dent in her head, probably caused by hitting a rock on the slope.

Once her breathing had stabilized again, Xiao Wei struggled to carry the girl on his back. As he reached for the flashlight, he heard two men cursing.

He quickly put the flashlight into the space and lay on the ground to try not to make a sound.

He heard a series of heavy and hurried footsteps approaching, one of which had a light and a heavy footstep.

Immediately afterwards, a man's voice came over: "Damn it, this is weird! That kid surnamed Yue is so good, he broke my leg! If it weren't for the gunshot and his speed, I would probably be dead by now!"

The person speaking staggered, clearly seriously injured, but still didn't forget to hurl insults.

Another figure, equally disheveled, came into Xiao Wei's view.

As he struggled forward, the man asked his companion, "Sixth Brother, what's going on? Weren't we supposed to be robbing three cars, loaded with silver dollars? What happened? Three dilapidated oxcarts with a bunch of poor folks on them?"

"What's even stranger is, what's so great about these penniless bastards that people would rush up and kill them? We made a rule when we joined that we absolutely cannot rob or kill poor people! What are these idiots up to?"

In the end, the man was full of suspicion and confusion.

They had robbed and killed Japanese soldiers, as well as traitors and gentry, but they had never touched poor people. Today, they almost broke their vow.

"You participated too?" Sixth Brother asked the person next to him.

The man answered affirmatively, "No, we were all stunned when we saw that they were civilians. We were terrified when we saw someone with a mask on rushing out to kill people. After we came to our senses, we ran into the woods with you."

The man known as "Sixth Brother" breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but at the same time was furious.

He couldn't help but curse, "Damn Chen Dong! This guy is in charge of delivering intelligence, how come he sent us false information instead? He's a complete traitor!"

Another person offered a different opinion: "Sixth Brother, in my opinion, Chen Dong seems to be unaware of the situation, and he himself was quite frightened. When I saw his terrified appearance, I felt that he had not expected things to develop like this at all, otherwise he would not have come here in an oxcart."

Sixth Brother also sensed something was wrong. He slapped the person next to him hard, "Something's not right! This is strange. Who brought these reckless guys here today?"

Another man stammered, "Uh... this time it was that brat Chen Feng who brought these people, but I really don't know where he got all these ruthless killers from."

"This massacre was so bloody and brutal that it reminded me of the horrific scenes when the Japanese devils slaughtered villages back then..." At this point, the man suddenly froze, staring in astonishment at his sixth brother beside him, his lips trembling slightly but unable to utter a sound.

Xiao Wei, who had been eavesdropping, finally realized that the two people in front of him were accomplices of the robbers.

They never expected that they would be outmaneuvered by someone else.

More importantly, the two mentioned that the information passed on to them by the mastermind was that three cars were coming.

Xiao Wei realized that they had arrived in three cars. Could it be that his group was the target the other party was referring to?

He took out a metal box containing tranquilizer darts and shot them at the two people on it.

"Ouch!"

Ouch! What bit me?

In just a few breaths, the two collapsed.

After carrying Xiaoqin up the slope, Xiaowei looked at the two people lying on the ground and took out his phone to contact Ma Chao.

Ma Chao, who was talking to local staff, nodded apologetically and walked away after noticing the vibration in his pocket.

He walked to the edge of the woods to answer the phone and heard Xiao Wei say that he had caught two robbers alive inside, and that there seemed to be something wrong with the robbery.

After hanging up the phone, Ma Chao went to find Zhang Baoshan, the police chief he knew before, and told him that two robbers had been caught alive in the mountains by their men.

Upon hearing that they had captured a prisoner alive, Zhang Baoshan led his men and followed Ma Chao into the woods.

Xiao Wei put down the wounded man on his back, went over and used a magnet to remove the anesthetic needles from the two men, then carefully put them away into his spatial storage.

Ma Chao led his men to the location of the Little Guardian and saw three people lying under the torch.

Xiao Wei explained to them, "This girl is still alive. She rolled down the slope when she was running away, broke both legs, and hit her head on a rock, which seriously injured her. I can't take her with me by myself."

Ma Chao nodded to him, and Xiao Wei turned around and went into the woods to find his uncle and the others. He had nothing to do with the interrogation or anything like that.

At this time, Jiang Jiyun and the other two found their way to a village in the mountains.

Looking at the houses through his binoculars, Oda said, "Those houses look like an old-fashioned school."
