When he arrived at the mountain, Wu Bai also knew that it was getting late, so he hurriedly found the small river where he had spent the night last time, and decided to rest here for the night.

The next day, Wu Bai used the old method to catch a fish from the river, grilled it, and then followed the marks left before to the location of the string of footprints again.

He was just about to go forward to investigate carefully, when he heard footsteps, Wu Bai quickly found a big tree and climbed up, using the shade of the tree to cover his body.

Not long after, two people came out from the depths of the dense forest. They were carrying a big box, which looked heavy, and they didn't know what it contained.

The two carried the boxes all the way while chatting.

One of the men in green clothes said: "The owner of the village is really powerful. It didn't take long to make up for the money lost before."

"That's not true. Fortunately, I didn't do stupid things with that traitor back then, otherwise how could I be able to eat and drink with the village master now!" Another man in Tsing Yi said happily.

Hearing what he said, the man in green sneered, and said, "Bah, you're so cowardly, the traitor didn't like you back then."

"Hey, I'm so stupid. I know how to hide my clumsiness. If the traitor accidentally finds out that I'm powerful, I won't beg me to hunt down the village master with him. I don't want to do such a thing." Angrily laughed.

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to listen to your bragging, let's go!" the man in green urged.

Then the two quickened their pace and disappeared from Wu Bai's sight.

Only then did Wu Bai climb down from the tree and chase after them from a distance.

Hearing them mention the 'Village Master' just now, Wu Bai was a little suspicious that they were talking about Tan Tianyu, but it was written in the book that Tan Tianyu led his subordinates to reform and start a legitimate business long ago, so Wu Bai planned to Stand still and wait for the time to play by ear.

The two people in front were carrying a large box of things. Because the things were heavy, they stopped and rested several times in the middle, but they were all relaxed and not vigilant at all. Obviously, they did not expect that someone would be in this deep mountain and old forest. track them.

Wu Bai followed them to a waterfall, saw them swaggering through a shallow waterfall, and immediately understood that there was something hidden inside.

He hid behind a tree, waited for a long time, and then quietly came to the waterfall, but Wu Bai did not rush into the waterfall, but threw a stone into it, and then hid behind the tree.

In this way, after waiting for a long time, no one came out to check, Wu Bai walked to the waterfall again, and walked through the waterfall carefully.

Passing through the waterfall, I saw that there was still a dark passage inside, which looked so dark that the bottom could not be seen at a glance.

However, Wu Bai went up the mountain this time because he had the intuition to find Xiao Zimo. At this moment, he naturally couldn't give up lightly. Even if it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, he had to go in.

Wu Bai held the stick in his hand in front of him, and walked slowly inside step by step. After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw a ray of light. Wu Bai knew that the cave had come to an end, but he did not relax his vigilance. Increase your strength to grip the stick in your hand.

After leaving the cave, Wu Bai glanced around, and found that it was still a dense forest, and there was no one around, even the two people he followed before had disappeared.

However, the two people were carrying heavy objects, and the traces they walked along the way were very obvious, and Wu Bai found the traces left by each other without any effort.

In a bush on the right, there are obvious traces of being crushed by heavy objects. Obviously, the two people rested here after they left the cave.

It would be easier to have a direction. Wu Bai followed the traces of trampled weeds all the way. After about half an hour, he found a little smoke rising not far ahead.

By this time, Wu Bai could vaguely see figures swaying in front of him, and those people were holding weapons in their hands, as if they were on patrol.

Worrying about alerting the other party, Wu Bai retreated quietly and returned to the entrance of the cave.

Thinking that he had already found the other party's residence anyway, Wu Bai was not in a hurry for a while, and walked into the cave and returned the same way.

After leaving the waterfall, Wu Bai found a cave not far or near in the mountain again, and found some hay to lay it on, planning to spend the night here tonight.

As for water and food, he chose to get them from the waterfall, and the fish under the waterfall looked very delicious.

For the next period of time, Wu Bai would sneak into the other side of the cave every day, trying to figure out what kind of village it was and the distribution of houses in the village.

At first, Wu Bai suspected that this was a den of robbers, but gradually he found that people here did not often leave the village. Even if some people left occasionally, only two or three people went down the mountain. Wu Bai followed them down another mountain road. Several times on the mountain, I found that they went down the mountain only to buy some daily necessities and food, and did not rob others.

Half a month later, Wu Bai finally got a thorough understanding of the village. It turned out that this was a lair of robbers. The reason why they went down the mountain and did not rob was because someone gave them money to support them.

These people saw that there were people patrolling the village every day, but in fact, the patrolling people were perfunctory every time, and they didn't patrol seriously at all.

It was also because of this that Wu Bai was able to sneak into the village without causing any changes.

But this is their gathering place after all. Wu Baiyi didn't stay here at dusk, but went back the same way, left the space behind the waterfall, and walked to the cave he had found before to settle down.

Wu Bai lingered in this village for such a long time, but he didn't find any trace of Xiao Zimo. He had some doubts about his intuition, and he was already planning to leave this mountain and go down the mountain to find other places.

On this day, Wu Bai finally made up his mind to go down the mountain and ignore the matter of the village for the time being.

Hearing the sound of people talking from the direction of the waterfall, Wu Bai was puzzled, so he quietly came to the vicinity of the waterfall and took a closer look. About 30 to [-] people came out of the cave.

Among them, a person who looked like the leader waited for them all to come out, and immediately called them together, and then asked loudly, "Do you all understand today's mission?"

Everyone replied in unison: "It's clear, it will never hurt people's lives."

"Okay, let's go."

Then these people, led by the leader, walked towards the road down the mountain.

It was rare to see them making big moves, so Wu Bai naturally followed, wanting to see what they were up to.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, a group of people did not walk on the official road, but found the weeds on both sides of the road to hide their figures.

Wu Bai also climbed up a lush tree and sat on a branch to watch their every move.

After waiting like this for about half an hour, two carriages came slowly from the official road. When the carriages got closer, the group of robbers rushed up and surrounded the carriages, showing off their might.

The driver of the carriage in front was already frightened, and asked in a trembling voice: "You guys, what do you want to do? This is the newly appointed magistrate. You dare to break ground on Taisui, because you don't want to live anymore. Hurry up and put down your weapons and leave, the county magistrate might spare your lives..."

"Master County Magistrate? Hahaha...we are here for you, aren't we, brothers?" the boss said arrogantly.

"Yes, the third leader is right, so what about the county magistrate, it's not like we haven't met before, hahahaha..." The group of subordinates echoed.

Wu Bai on the tree has been observing their movements, seeing them surrounding the carriage, he didn't delay anymore, he jumped off the branch nimbly, came to the official road, holding a whip in his hand, facing the group of bandits It was just a wild pumping.

This whip was made by Wu Bai who stayed on the mountain during this time and found rattan to weave. Although it is not as good as the material Xiao Zimo gave him in the previous life, it is not unconditional. Wu Bai used more whips in the previous life. I felt that the whip was more convenient, so I threw away the stick I used for self-defense before and replaced it with this whip.

At the same time, the county magistrate in the carriage also lifted the curtain, just in time to see the heroic figure of Wu Bai beating those bandits with a whip.

These bandits are actually ordinary people, and they don't know how to learn martial arts. In the past, they only rely on their numbers and the weapons in their hands to be invincible, but now they are planted in Wu Bai's hands.

After a while, these people all fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Then Wu Bai wrapped the whip around his waist, looked towards the direction of the carriage, and met the eyes of the young county magistrate.

Immediately, Wu Bai's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed that he finally found you.

Xiao Zimo jumped down from the carriage, walked up to Wu Bai, saluted and said, "Thank you, young master."

"You're welcome, this is..." Wu Bai hadn't finished speaking when another rush of hooves came from the official road, interrupting his words.

The two looked over together, and after a while, a group of people came up to them on horseback.

Wu Bai looked up and found that the leader looked familiar.

The other party was also taken aback when he saw Wu Bai: "Brother Bai, why are you here?"

While listening to the other party's question, Wu Bai actually went to look through the memory of the original body again, and recognized the other party at this time.

Before Wu Bai could reply, Tan Tianyu had already got off his horse, walked up to Xiao Zimo and respectfully said, "I have seen the county magistrate."

Xiao Zimo narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "You know me?"

Tan Tianyu quickly explained: "My lord, I am a businessman from Puchang County. Recently I heard that bandits appeared in this area. I was worried about your safety, my lord, so I specially brought people to protect my lord."

Then he looked at the twenty or thirty bandits lying on the ground, and asked with a strange expression: "My lord, what's going on with these people?"

"They, they are the bandits you mentioned, they were all taken down by the adults just now, the adults are mighty and brave, how could these youngsters be able to take them down." Wu Bai interjected and replied.

Xiao Zimo next to him glanced at Wu Bai in surprise. Although he didn't know why this little brother said he was the bandit he defeated, he would not expose the other party's lies, so he nodded to Tan Tianyu and said: "That's right."

Tan Tianyu was horrified. He didn't expect that the county magistrate, who looked as humble as a jade, was actually a master who knew martial arts and kept a secret. No wonder the people he sent to inquire about didn't find out the news that the other party knew martial arts. It can be seen from this , the other party is definitely a scheming person.

After labeling Xiao Zimo as 'don't wait' in his heart, Tan Tianyu looked at Wu Bai again and asked, "Brother Bai, I heard that you went up the mountain after you were kicked out of the village, why did you appear in this place now?" here?"

Wu Bai spread his hands and replied without sincerity: "After I was driven out of the village, I didn't go up the mountain, but left my hometown alone. Fortunately, I met the county magistrate on the way, and he took me in."

"Really? Your magistrate?" Wu Bai looked at Xiao Zimo with a smile.

Xiao Zimo nodded as he said, and replied softly: "That's right."
