"This should be the one we are looking for?"

Zhou Qinchuan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the hoof prints on the ground have not changed much. If we did not chase them at the beginning, they would be them."

Zhang San nodded, then grabbed the reins of the donkey and stopped Zhou Qinchuan who was trying to urge the donkey to walk:

"Mr. Zhou, don't be reckless."

Without waiting for Zhang San to explain in detail, Zhou Qinchuan himself also came back to his taste.

This is the Ming Dynasty, where the imperial power did not go to the countryside. In the countryside and mountains, whoever has a big fist is right. It is not a legal society that is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Thieves will not be guilty because they do bad things. Even if they meet officers and soldiers, they will draw their swords to face each other.

If they just break through like this, the thieves will most likely resist, and Xiao Ji will even be in danger.

"Third brother, it's me Meng Lang."

Zhou Qinchuan first bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and then said:

"How to act, but according to the instructions of my third brother."

"No, no hurry."

Zhang San led the donkey away from the fire, first let the livestock eat and drink, and then comforted it and lie down and fall asleep.

Then he took out two pieces of dry cakes and shared them with Zhou Qinchuan.

"Don't worry, the thief will be here tonight. Let's have enough food and drink to take a nap, and wait until they fall asleep before going to do it."

Seeing that Zhou Qinchuan couldn't help but look in the direction of the fire, Zhang San comforted him.

Zhou Qinchuan responded muffled, took the skin that Zhang San handed him, and drank cold water.

Fortunately, I have this old world and have all the food and drinks, otherwise I would have been hungry tonight.

"Third brother, why don't you go back to gather people and cause trouble for these two people?"

Since the kidnappers are not leaving, they can find enough people to rely on the more they win, and bully the weak with the strong.

"You don't know anything, Mr. Zhou."

Zhang San said his worries while eating. In the final analysis, he was afraid of the anesthetics in the hands of the thief.

These accused people can make the abducted people not speak out and resist. In addition to a few women who lose their minds and are fascinated by others, they are more of the rewards of the drug.

Although this drug can make people unable to resist in confusion and at mercy, it has time-consuming effects. It requires remedies every three or four hours.

Especially when you encounter children who are not very obedient and crying, it is not enough to not use medicine near their hometown, otherwise you will inevitably run into other relatives and friends, which will ruin good things.

But if you use too much medicine, it may not be harmful to people's mind. Zhang San has seen an example of the child rescued a day or two that became stupid, as if he was idiot.

He could see that Zhou Qinchuan really paid attention to Xiao Ji and did not want such a naughty child who was famous in Guanyang and Maoyang to suffer this great disaster. Therefore, he ignored his lack of strength and wanted to forcefully save people.

Time really doesn’t wait for anyone. If it delays for a long time, no one knows what kind of regret Xiao Ji will suffer.

"Thank you, my third brother, for answering your questions."

Zhou Qinchuan gave a solemn gift. Xiao Ji was so smart that if he turned into a fool, it would be more unbearable than killing him.

"Then why don't the kidnappers feed more medicine at once?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Qinchuan was still a little puzzled. He fed him every three or four hours, wouldn’t he cause trouble for himself?

"It should be that as long as this drug reaches a certain amount, the effect time limit will be almost the same."

Zhang San explained:

"Besides, feeding the drugs in batches can only become stupid. If the amount is too large at a time, you will definitely become stupid.

They are abducting people to make money. How much money can a fool sell? If he is not absolutely necessary, he will not ruin the people they regard as their property."

It makes sense that these ghostly tricks of ghosts and monsters really made Zhou Qinchuan more insightful.

"Sleep."

The two chatted softly. After Zhang San finished eating the cake, he called him and fell asleep. After a while, even breathing sounded, and it seemed that he was already asleep.

In early summer nights, although the temperature is not low, the grass in the wild is a little wet, and it is not comfortable for people to lie on it. Fortunately, Zhang San has this ability.

Zhou Qinchuan was full of thoughts and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

I was worried about Xiao Ji's safety for a while, and I was worried about how to rescue me later. After thinking about it, I wondered when I was confused.

Before he could sleep completely, Zhang San's heavy breathing suddenly disappeared, making Zhou Qinchuan, who was used to hearing it, very uncomfortable and woke up again.

Zhang San sat upright quietly and tightened the legs that were untied before going to bed on his calf.

"Mr. Zhou, if you are injured, you don't have to step forward."

Seeing that Zhou Qinchuan had woken up, Zhang San said in a low voice without any doubt.

"I..."

Zhou Qinchuan flipped his mouth up and down twice, and finally closed it weakly.

He knew that Zhang San was also doing this for his own good. Not to mention his lame leg, he was intact and in the eyes of others, he was just a weak scholar. How could he compete with the thief?

Although there are only two of the other party, they don’t know anything about their skills or weapons.

Such a burden, he followed Zhang San, which was a mess.

"Don't worry, I will definitely put Xiao Ji's life first."

Zhang San said, slowly pulling out the knife without any sound.

There is no moon tonight. With the faint starlight, we can see that this knife is not the kind of treasure sword that Zhou Qinchuan remembers.

Instead of the brilliance of autumn water, it is dark and dark, and there is only a shallow white light at the edge of the knife.

Zhang San grabbed a handful of sludge from the ground and painted a piece of knife up and down. After he had no light in the night, he held it in his right hand, not even a scabbard, and just touched the darkness and headed towards the already faint flame.

After thinking a little, you can understand the significance of Zhang San's move. This is to prevent the steel knife from reflecting in the night to alarm others, and to hurt others invisibly, which makes Zhou Qinchuan gain some insight.

Zhang San's figure soon disappeared in the darkness. At first, the rustling sound could be heard and soon returned to silence.

There was silence around, and the fire in the distance was swaying and flashing, as if it was about to be extinguished at any time.

The world seemed to have stopped, and Zhou Qinchuan had no way of knowing how long time had passed.

Just as he was about to lose his patience and could no longer wait and decided to go forward and spy on it, a big stir came.

Someone shouted loudly at the fire, but Zhou Qinchuan couldn't hear it clearly. It was thought that Zhang San was discovered.

Judging from Zhang San's actions just now, he is definitely a veteran. He plans to attack him. It is impossible to deliberately alarm the other party.

In this way, these two kidnappers are not mediocre, and they can detect enemies in time.

Zhang San fights against two with one and wants to rescue Xiao Ji, who is unconscious, and I wonder if he can succeed.

Accompanied by the sound of swords and sticks intersecting, the fire suddenly exploded and a large tent of Mars flew out. It seemed that both sides had taken action.
