Feng Yuanfei replied: "Fortunately, they are all minor injuries, nothing serious. Thank you, brother, how are things going over there?"

Xie Lan found a rock to sit on, and after a moment's rest, he said, "I killed their leader."

"Kill, kill?"

Feng Yuanfei was stunned.

Those bandits are quite skilled, not to mention their leader.

Xie Lan killed the bandit leader so easily without getting hurt?

Feng Yuanfei's eyes were filled with admiration, and he suggested, "Thank you, brother. Since the bandit leader is dead, why don't we go back and take the goods back!"

He still couldn't bear to see thousands of taels of medicinal materials being robbed by bandits for nothing.

If the goods are robbed, not only will the escort agency have to pay compensation, but its reputation will also be damaged.

Feng Yuanfei would also disappoint his father, so he was obsessed with the goods.

Xie Lan rejected it, saying, "No. The leader of the bandits is dead. The bandits will surely be furious and will hunt us down to avenge their leader. And we don't know if there are any more bandits. The only thing we can do now is to hide and not be discovered by them. When the storm has passed, we will return to Pingyao County and tell Captain Feng about this experience."

He paused and said, "Tell Captain Feng that Zhao Wei is a traitor."

"what?!"

Feng Yuanfei, Erqiang and the other two were all shocked.

Xie Lan's face was calm as he said, "After you left, I had a one-on-one fight with the bandit leader, and he mentioned the name Zhao Laowu himself."

"Zhao Laowu?!"

Feng Yuanfei was stunned at first, then he cursed: "Zhao Wei is the fifth child in the family, and his nickname is Zhao Laowu! Zhao Wei is so brave, he actually colluded with the bandits to rob the goods of the escort agency! He is so bold!"

Er Qiang said angrily: "No wonder they didn't respond when you blew the whistle, brother. It turns out they are in cahoots with the bandits!"

Feng Yuanfei and his companions were furious and annoyed, and scolded Zhao Wei and his disciples.

After cursing, several people became depressed again.

The medicinal materials were robbed, the top three and four were injured, and they had to avoid being hunted by the bandits. They didn't know how they would survive the next few days.

After a fierce battle, Xie Lan gradually felt tired.

He randomly found a dry rock wall in the cave and took a rest against it.

In the second half of the night, Feng Yuanfei and Erqiang took turns to keep watch.

When it was bright outside, there was no sign of trouble outside.

But Feng Yuanfei was worried that the bandits had not gone far, so he did not dare to act rashly.

They stayed on alert until dark. Several people's stomachs were growling with hunger, and the mouths of the top three and four contestants were so dry that they were about to crack.

Feng Yuanfei was getting anxious and angry, and Xie Lan stepped forward and said, "I'll go get some water."

He took out eight compressed biscuits and four chocolates and shared them among the four people, saying, "These foods can fill your stomachs. Brother Yuan Fei, share them among you."

Feng Yuanfei was surprised. He didn't expect Xie Lan to carry food with him.

Their food was all loaded on the carriage, and they had no time to get it when they escaped last night.

Looking at the square pancakes and black lumps in their hands, Feng Yuanfei and the other three were confused.

The pancake looks edible, but what is that black stuff? Is it mud?

Xie Lan said patiently: "Brother Yuan Fei, don't worry about eating them, they are not poisonous."

Feng Yuanfei waved his hands quickly and said, "Thank you, brother. We don't suspect it's poisonous, but we're just curious about what this black block is."

Xie Lan pursed her lips and said, "Brother Yuan Fei, don't tell anyone about the food I gave you after you leave. This is the only request I have."

Seeing him say that, Feng Yuanfei understood what he meant and immediately promised solemnly: "Don't worry, brother Xie, you saved the lives of four of us brothers, no, two lives. You are our reincarnated benefactor, and I will keep my mouth shut about what you told me!"

"So are we!"

The three strong men spoke in unison, with serious expressions.

Xie Lan was relieved and said, "I'll go out to get some water."

Fortunately, he hung the water bottle given by Jiang Wan on his waist, otherwise it would be a hassle to drink water at this time.

Not far from the cave, there is a wide and fast-flowing stream.

Xie Lan filled the copper kettle with water three times before it was barely enough for five people to drink.

Feng Yuanfei took a bite of chocolate and his eyes immediately widened.

"Thank you, brother. Why does this black cube taste so sweet when it enters my mouth?"

He chewed it again and exclaimed in amazement, "There are dried fruits in it!"

Er Qiang was also surprised and said, "It tastes better than crispy candy. It melts in a few bites!"

The top three and top four tasted it carefully and nodded in agreement: "It's delicious! But it's a little bitter at the end."

Xie Lan took a bite of a piece of chocolate and said, "It's cold, I'll go outside to find some dry firewood and boil some hot water to drink."

Feng Yuanfei stood up and said, "I'll go with you and check on the bandits."

Xie Lan did not refuse, and the two of them plunged into the inky black night.

Xie Lan still remembered the route they took, and he and Feng Yuanfei tiptoed back to the place where they were attacked last night.

All that was left on the slightly open ground were residual ashes, bright red blood, and some traces of fighting, and nothing else.

Feng Yuanfei looked around a few times and confirmed that the three cars had been hijacked by the bandits and taken down the mountain. He angrily punched the tree trunk next to him.

"Damn Zhao Wei! And Luo Hai! They must have colluded with the bandits in advance. Luo Hai also deliberately provoked us and then escaped. Zhao Wei then took others to find Luo Hai. The bandits took advantage of our weak strength and dared to attack in the middle of the night!"

Xie Lan's brows were calm, and he said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's go back first..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from a distance.

Xie Lan's eyes flashed, and he grabbed Feng Yuanfei and hid in the bushes nearby.

The two men looked through a gap in the bushes and saw six bandits with swords and torches approaching them.

"The big boss said that even if we have to turn this mountain upside down, we must catch the guy who killed the third boss. You all search carefully!"

"Brother, we have been here so many times, why are we back here again?"

"You know nothing! The boss is very good at predicting things and guessed that those guys would come back to check. You just follow his orders and do your job. Why are you talking so much?!"

"Second brother, the roads at the foot of the mountain are all occupied by people from our village. Even if they grow wings, they can't fly away."

"Stop talking nonsense and search carefully! If you find the stinky boy who killed the third boss, you will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver!"

"Wow, two hundred taels!"

"That brat is very skilled in martial arts and is very treacherous. Do you think you can get the two hundred taels?"

"I can't think of it anymore..."

Xie Lan and Feng Yuanfei hid behind the bushes, not daring to move. They breathed softly, waiting quietly for the bandits to leave.

After a long while, Feng Yuanfei asked with a pale face: "Brother Xie, the people at the foot of the mountain are all their people, how should we get down the mountain?"

Xie Lan frowned, obviously also in a state of anxiety.

He didn't have any extra energy pills on him, and confronting so many bandits head-on would obviously be a dead end.

Besides, there are Feng Yuanfei and the other four. He cannot abandon them and escape alone.

Thinking of the portable food Jiang Wan had given him, Xie Lan said in a deep voice, "Brother Yuan Fei, let's take a detour down the mountain."
