The reason they did this was simply to use themselves as bait, so that Qi Tiezui and Zhang Qihai would relax their vigilance.
And at this moment he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He found that Zhang Qihai was not among this group of people.
This made him feel very strange, because from his previous interactions with these people, he could tell that Zhang Qihai was actually a very powerful person, and no matter what, nothing would happen to him.
But now there is no sign of him at all. Could something really have happened outside?
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that this is indeed very unlikely. If something really happened, these people in front of me would definitely be even more sad. After all, so many of their brothers have died.
But I don't know why I always feel that the grief they are expressing now seems to be not enough emotion.
Maybe it’s because I have been with them for too long that I was able to notice this detail. If it were any other way, there would be no way I would be able to observe such a small detail.
But because there was someone watching him, he had no idea how to ask. If he asked too obviously, it might alert the enemy.
So at this moment, his mind was also thinking rapidly about what he should do.
After a long while, he finally thought of an explanation, so he sat down with a frown and spoke gently.
"What kind of dangers did you encounter along the way? I feel like there are too few of your people. Did they all die on the way?"
Before anyone else could speak, he spoke again.
"My former companions and some other men in the village were there to lead us out to explore the way, but I didn't expect that they all died in places we didn't know about. Now we don't even know where their bodies are."
"When you wanted to leave, we repeatedly advised you not to go, because the surroundings are extremely dangerous. No matter which road you take, it will almost certainly lead to death."
"I didn't expect you guys to leave after all. Now that you've come back there are only so few of you left. It's such a pity."
If I had only said the first part of the words, perhaps those Hei Qiao people would find it a little strange that there were so many of them but now only so few people came back.
And now that his grandfather had spoken out about the danger, he also gave examples of some of his own things that were buried here before. This way, he wouldn't arouse the suspicion of those Hei Qiao people.
After hearing this, Qi Tiezui immediately shook his head sadly.
"Don't say that. I really encountered too many dangers along the way, and there were all kinds of traps. Even my best brother died in them!"
He raised his hand and slammed the table hard, looking very angry.
Before anyone else could speak, he spoke again.
"I haven't known him for decades. I was not lucky enough to lose him in such a situation. You know, the situation was really dangerous. My brother's legs were not very convenient to begin with. As a result, he accidentally touched the trap and didn't dodge it. He was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows and died!"
After he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to turn slightly red, as if he was about to cry.
I have to say that his acting skills are really good.
The people around him did not doubt the authenticity of what he said at all. Instead, they felt that what he said was really true.
But only the old man and those other people knew that he was actually conveying a message to everyone.
In fact, Zhang Qihai was not dead at all.
Because he just said clearly that his brother has difficulty walking, but everyone knows clearly that this person is very agile and there is no such thing as difficulty walking.
So I think the information he is saying now is also wrong.
The old man grasped the most crucial point from his words and then made his own analysis.
And he also knows that all his current analysis is correct.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect this to happen. He had come to me for medicine because his legs and feet always hurt when it rained. I had already prepared the medicine, but I didn't expect him to encounter something like this."
After saying this, he couldn't help but shook his head.
The people on both sides cooperated very well, and no one could see any flaws at all.
And now the old man knows clearly in his heart that, in fact, nothing happened to Zhang Qihai and the others. It seems that they are still alive. As for what they are doing now, he is not clear yet.
Now he had no way to ask directly, so he was thinking about how to use other methods to get the information.
However, Qi Tiezui noticed some doubts on the old man's face.
Chapter 665 Unable to Deliver
Although he really wanted to tell the old man what had happened, it was very difficult to pass the message to him now because he knew that there was someone watching them nearby.
So no matter what, he knew that they had to be careful in this matter and must not make any mistakes.
Otherwise, I'm afraid everything will get worse.
"Oh, stop talking about it. Don't mention the past anymore. It will only make you more sad."
He just let out a long sigh and then said these words.
He hasn't figured out how to give the old man a tactful hint yet, so he won't act rashly.
After all, under such circumstances, he attaches great importance to this and will not allow himself to make any mistakes no matter what.
After hearing this, the old man naturally would not continue asking questions. If it was too obvious, others might notice something was wrong.
They know that there is hope in knowing such information, but it is very difficult. If something goes wrong, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
At this moment he also pretended to be very sad and shook his head gently, as if all this had really happened.
He was really helpless about these things. Even though he really wanted to solve them now, he was indeed somewhat helpless.
So in such a situation, you will naturally be more cautious and never let yourself get into any problems.
The people around him naturally pretended to be sad, and they were also helpless about this matter.
Moreover, since Qi Tiezui didn't say anything else, it was impossible for them to take the initiative to bring up anything else.
By this time they had almost finished eating and drinking.
Right now, I don’t know what will happen next.
At this moment, the old man was indeed a little panicked, because he was very afraid of what those Hei Qiao people would do.
The old man knew clearly that these Hei Qiao people came here because of them, and he also knew that those Hei Qiao people would not let them go so easily.
But he had no idea when these Black Joes would make their move.
I don't know why they insist on making me act out all this. Is it really just to make them let their guard down?
He also had many doubts in his mind, but he didn't know how to solve them.
He felt very upset about this matter.
How could Qi Tiezui next to him not see it?
However, he also knew that he had to be careful about this matter and not be too obvious.
Otherwise, I'm afraid everything will become very bad.
Everyone is also trying to slow down their eating speed.
After all, after they finished eating, they didn’t know what they should do.
When there was only a little left, they ate very slowly.
It seemed as if he was reluctant to finish everything on his plate.
At this moment, everyone was chatting about something, but in fact it was just some daily conversation.
Because they dare not act rashly now.
The group of people who had been observing Zhang Qihai were still hiding there at this moment and did not dare to show up at all.
After all, they have no idea what the situation will be like ahead, so it is naturally impossible for them to make such a decision easily now.
If anything goes wrong, no one can take the responsibility.
So they are naturally a little worried at this moment.
I don’t know when is the right time to take action.
At this moment they suddenly saw a black man walking towards them cautiously.
This made them feel very surprised. They didn't know what was going on. Could it be that the person had discovered them?
But if you think about it carefully, how could it be possible when everyone hid it so well?
But there is nothing absolute in this world, so they cannot be completely confirmed now.
At this moment, several people were exchanging glances with each other, trying to remain calm and not daring to make any big moves.
If they are discovered by others, all their previous efforts will be in vain. Many people do not want to see this happen.
So at this moment, this matter is also very painful for them.
It can be seen that there was a bit of panic in everyone's eyes, and they had no idea what they should do.
It was at this moment that they saw that the man stopped halfway and walked towards another house.
And this room is the one they just observed, where a large number of Black Joes are located.
It seems that I need to report something to them.
Apart from this possibility, they really couldn't think of any other possibility.
And when they clearly saw this person walk into the room, everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in the balance, finally fell back into their hearts at this moment.
They then began to communicate in low voices.
"Great, great, I thought we were discovered, but now it seems we were overthinking."
"Yeah, me too, but when I saw him seemingly walking towards us, my heart dropped to my throat."
"Don't say that, my heartbeat just now was several times faster than usual."
But these have been resolved for now.
So it's not a big deal for them.
Everybody was really happy about it.
However, Zhang Qihai was very serious at the moment. He had been observing the room, hoping to see some information he wanted through the only window.
The Hei Qiao man they saw walking in just now was indeed one of the Hei Qiao people who had been monitoring the old man and Qi Tiezui's group.
The reason why he came to this house was just to report to those people what had just happened.
"what happened to you?"
