Human Martial Saint: Starting with Bajiquan

Chapter 55 Liu Zhutao 3

The new leader with the scarred face.

While we're still here, let's tell the wolf demons to be smart and target the smaller caravans to accumulate some capital.

Maybe things will calm down after that.

There is still a chance to build an even larger team.

The wolf demons nodded in agreement.

Scarface, feeling slightly smug after stabilizing the morale of his troops, lay back down on the edge of the sand dune, keeping a close eye on the pipeline extending from the direction of the county town.

Time passed slowly, and just as some wolf demons began to anxiously dig in the sand again.

Scarface's ears twitched, and he hissed:

"They're here!"

Under the moonlight, on the official road...

Smoke and dust rose slightly.

The outlines of several camel carts gradually became clear.

The caravan was small and there were no guards. The wagons were piled with goods, making it look like an ordinary small merchant caravan.

"Just a few beat-up cars, boss, let's get to it!"

The skinny wolf demon immediately became excited, its green eyes shining.

The other wolf demons also smelled the human scent wafting from afar. Their suppressed bestial nature began to stir, and they emitted suppressed "woofing" sounds from their throats.

They could pounce at any moment!

On the other end.

The camel cart moved slowly along the slightly bumpy official road.

Liu Sheng leaned against the goods and closed his eyes to rest.

Father and Uncle Song were in another car, talking about their hopes for the future of Yejia Town.

Suddenly, a few short howls were heard.

This reminded him of his previous encounter with the Yan family's caravan. He quickly sat up and looked at the sand dunes to the side.

The moonlight wasn't very bright, but he seemed to catch a glimpse of several grayish-yellow things peeking out from the edge of the dune.

As a result, it shrank back in an instant.

And then there was no more news.

It was extremely fast, but it was definitely not caused by wind blowing sand.

He immediately stood up, his gaze sharp as lightning.

It swept sharply across the sand dunes, over and over again.

Just in case, be ready to act at any time.

"Sheng'er, what's wrong?"

Liu Zhutao, who was in another car, noticed Liu Sheng's unusual behavior and stopped chatting, asking loudly.

Liu Sheng frowned slightly. Because there was a car between them, he could only shout back, "Dad, I think I just saw a few wolves."

His voice quickly carried clearly across the quiet, empty wilderness.

A moment later, a sudden sound came from behind the sand dune he was watching—

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Then came other scattered howls.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Woof—Woof!"

Liu Sheng was somewhat puzzled.

It was definitely a dog barking.

But this dog doesn't look like a domesticated dog.

Why does it sound like you have a bit of an accent?

He stared at it for a while longer.

There has been no new development.

After the convoy had driven some distance, he sat down again and called out to Liu Zhutao:

"Dad, it's alright now, it was probably just a stray dog."

"It's normal to see stray dogs in this remote area. It's good that nothing's wrong."

The clear sound of camel bells gradually faded into the distance, away from that excessively quiet sand dune.

Behind the sand dunes.

A dead silence.

Originally, those wolf demons were preparing to howl and charge.

It had only poked half its head out.

They all saw the young figure sitting beside the carriage shaft, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a tall and upright posture.

it's him!

That gun-wielding warrior who stabbed his former boss to death with a single shot was like a demon god descending to earth!

As the warrior's sharp gaze swept over the sand dunes where they were located.

The wolf demons felt a chill run down their spines and immediately shrank back. Boundless terror, like the cold tip of a spear, pierced straight to the top of their heads.

Got caught!

They couldn't control the trembling of their bodies, and the sand beneath them rustled loudly.

They all wanted to burrow into the sand.

The leader, a scarred-faced man.

At this moment, he was utterly terrified, his mind completely blank.

In that moment of terror, it suddenly had a flash of inspiration when it heard Liu Sheng say "wolf".

He immediately opened his mouth wide.

Then it barked, "Woof! Woof woof!"

Then it glared angrily at its other underlings.

So everyone joined in and shouted out.

A full incense stick's time had passed.

It was the scarred wolf demon who cautiously poked half its head out.

Only then did they realize that the convoy had already gone far away.

The wolf demons then stopped barking and collapsed onto the sand, as if their howling had exhausted all their strength.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with lingering fear.

"Boss, boss... are we... are we still squatting?"

The skinny wolf demon asked in a trembling voice.

Scarface, annoyed, slapped it again with his still trembling paw, his voice hoarse:

"Stop squatting! Pack your things, quick! Let's find another spot, somewhere away from this road!"

The wolf demons nodded hastily and scrambled to their feet in a disheveled state.

One by one, they dragged their still limp legs and retreated deeper into the desert.

Every now and then, a few sounds could be heard:

"The boss is really smart!"

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of barking like a dog?"

"Yeah, yeah, it has to be the boss! Even his dog barks are better than ours... Ouch! Ouch, ouch... Boss, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I was wrong..."

……

The female constable, Yin Ruyu, carried a bag of maltose.

We arrived at the market again.

Lai San is still not here today.

Yin Ruyu watched as Xiao Lan squatted by the roadside playing, pondered for a moment, and then asked softly:

"Xiao Lan, would you like to go back with Sister Yu?"

"No, I want to stay with Grandpa Lai!" Xiao Lan protested.

She was usually all smiles, but today she spoke with an unusual mix of emotion and stubbornness.

Lai San is still not here today.

It's possible that the Black Fox Gang attacked, and he went to fight them.

"Listen to me, your Grandpa Lai was also an instructor in the Underworld before, he's not an outsider."

"I don't care, I don't care! Wherever Grandpa Lai is, I'll be there!"

After saying that, Xiaolan turned her face away.

He stopped paying attention to Yin Ruyu.

Yin Ruyu looked at the six-year-old girl in front of her and sighed.

She was filled with mixed emotions.

The good news is that although the little girl's mother is gone, there is still this reformed old man who takes care of Xiaolan as his own granddaughter.

Tragically, she knew Xiaolan's true identity.

Xiao Lan's mother was originally a maid in the Yin family of Shazhou City. Because she gained the favor of the head of the family, she was taken as a concubine.

This Yin family is a major Yin family in Shazhou City.

They are known as the Da Yin family.

Instead of Xiao Zong from Crescent Moon County, they were known as the Xiao Yin family.

However, the head of the Yin family had a large number of concubines, and the competition for favor was fierce. Various schemes and plots often resulted in deaths, making it almost like a small harem.

Seeing that staying with the Yin family would not guarantee the safety of her and her daughter, Xiaolan's mother took her daughter Xiaolan and returned to Crescent Moon County.

Yin Ruyu also sponsored them with some money.

Upon returning home, Xiaolan's mother discovered that all her relatives were gone. She then used the money she had to open a small shop.

However, she came from a wealthy family as a maid and knew nothing about business. In addition, the taxes and levies imposed by the imperial court were too heavy, and the shop soon had to close down.

The mother and daughter also became beggars.

When the Beggars' Sect was sending out talent, Xiao Lan's mother died unexpectedly in the melee, and she was rescued by the Mingsha Gang.

Even though the child is young, she knows where her suffering comes from, so she definitely doesn't want to go back to the Yin family.

Yin Ruyu knew all of this.

She was just worried that Xiao Lan was being taken care of by an old beggar, especially since she was the head constable and could see Lai San's past criminal record, which was not what he did in the Beggars' Gang.

Until she recently took office and saw it with her own eyes.

The Mingsha Gang is unlike the ordinary Beggars' Gang or the Black Fox Gang. In this market, they are strictly disciplined, and one could even say they have a sense of "protecting the territory and ensuring the safety of the people".

Despite being in such an environment, Lai San was able to reform himself and take good care of Xiao Lan.

This truly surprised Yin Ruyu.

Her observations over the past two days have confirmed these findings.

Yin Ruyu had no choice. Although the market was relatively safe under the protection of the Mingsha Gang, she still reminded Xiaolan not to go too far when playing.

"Miss, we have a lead in the child missing case!"

Constable Yinhe strode over to report to his superior.

Yin Ruyu's heart tightened after she left some maltose for Xiaolan.

They quickly left together with the Yin River.
