Chapter 112: Lure Them
Chapter 112: Lure Them
"Are you the villager from Yejia Village who fled into the mountains?"
Ye Er nodded blankly.
"Captain Yu! I think he's probably one of the villagers who hid the food here. Maybe he's just here to move the food!"
A soldier next to him who looked quite smart rolled his eyes and made malicious guesses.
"What food? Is there any food here?"
Ye Ersha asked deliberately, with a look of surprise on his face, and couldn't help but peek into the cave! He looked completely unaware.
"You really don't know what food is? I think you're just pretending to be stupid!"
The soldier thought he was just pretending.
But Captain Yu remembered the person Su Xiaodie mentioned.
"Are you called Ye Ersha?"
Ye Ersha grinned, "How do you know my name? Do you know me?"
Captain Yu smiled. It really was him! That would be easy! This person had a weakness.
"I don't know you, but your future wife knows you! Her name is Su Xiaodie. She said she is your future wife, and..."
Captain Yu's face suddenly darkened and he grabbed him by the neck.
"And she told me that this is where you store your food, and you actually said you didn't know! Tell me, what exactly are you doing here? Did the village send you to gather information?"
Ye Ersha was pinched so hard that he almost rolled his eyes, but he kept waving his hands, his throat making a wheezing sound until Captain Yu let go. He coughed for a long time and his face turned red.
"Sister Xiaodie said that? How could she say that! Sister Xiaodie said she would only marry me if I could gather up fifteen taels of silver! In order to gather the money for her, I went to the mountains to collect firewood every day. If I had known that there was food stored here, then... then..."
Ersha is happy, and you can tell what he is thinking from his silly look! It’s true that he is called Ersha, but that doesn’t mean he is stupid!
After talking for a long time, he suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something!
"I know! She's got her eyes on Ergouzi next door. It must be the food Ergouzi and his friends stored here. Humph! They're still hiding it from me! I told you! Why is Ergouzi suddenly looking at me with eyes that aren't eyes and nose that isn't nose?"
Captain Yu saw that he was talking very logically and didn't seem to be lying at all! Although this man's name was Ersha, he wasn't a complete idiot. At least he knew how to think. If the villagers really sent someone to investigate, they would never send someone like this!
It was his half-foolish appearance that made these people believe him. The soldiers looked at his silly look and were so amused that they kept saying that he was stupid.
"That woman just wanted to cheat you out of your money! You're not bad, you can still save ten taels of silver. Do you know where her silver is now?"
Ersha opened his eyes wide and looked at those people in disbelief.
"You all know that I gave Sister Xiaodie ten taels of silver? Then did I give you her silver...?"
He then shook his head again, speaking in a very low voice, completely lacking any confidence, "That's impossible! She already said she'd wait for me!"
"This silly boy is still dreaming! Your sister Xiaodie has already..."
The man was about to say something when he was interrupted by Captain Yu!
"Stop talking! Ye Ersha, you just said that your sister Xiaodie has been involved with Ergouzi for a long time. Didn't you know that Ergouzi went into the mountains to hide food with the villagers?"
Ye Ersha scratched his head. "My family came to the village later. We are not from the same clan as the other Ye people in the village, so they didn't take me with them when they went into the mountains. I followed them in quietly, and then we got separated. I stayed in the cave in front with a few families! I thought I wouldn't starve to death in the mountains. I could get more things and exchange them for some money. When I saved another five taels of silver, I would go find Sister Xiaodie."
Captain Yu narrowed his eyes, somewhat skeptical of what he said.
"Then don't you know there are refugees down the mountain and you want to fight?"
"I know! The war will eventually end!"
Okay! Captain Yu was a little speechless. This man was really obsessed with Su Xiaodie. He changed the question.
"Are the village chief and the clan leader all together? Do you know where they are staying?"
Ye Ersha nodded, "He should know!"
Hearing what he said, Captain Yu's eyes lit up, but he still wanted to test him.
"Then why don't you go and join them?"
"I...I'm still thinking about my sister Xiaodie..."
When he said this, the others burst into laughter and made fun of him with their eyes.
"This silly boy is still dreaming of getting married!"
"You don't want it if I want it, but that body is so tender that you can squeeze out water, who wouldn't be tempted!"
But they didn't dare to speak loudly. After all, Captain Yu had just winked at them. If they angered this stupid boy, it would be more trouble than it was worth. They were still waiting for him to lead the way to find someone!
Ye Ersha pretended not to hear and kept looking at the food in the cave. His greedy and foolish look made Captain Yu completely relieved.
"Then can you take us to find the village chief and others?"
Ye Ersha was smart this time.
"The village chief said we can't go there! I don't dare go!"
"What?"
He shook his head. "I've only been there once with the villagers hunting. It's very dangerous there. There are bears!"
"If they can go, we can go too. We're not afraid of blind bears. If we encounter one, we can even catch one!"
Those people didn't take it seriously, thinking that Ye Ersha must have been deceived by the village chief and was talking nonsense because he didn't allow them to go. Otherwise, if they could go, why couldn't others?
"If you take us there, I'll take you down the mountain to find Sister Xiaodie and ask her to marry you! How about it?"
Captain Yu patiently persuaded Ersha with his words, which made Ersha very excited, so he agreed.
To be on the safe side, Captain Yu left two people there to wait for news. If anything happened, the two would rush down the mountain to report and ask the main force to come. They must find the people in the village and at least carry away the food.
But they had no idea that as soon as they left, the two men died quietly.
"Move the food away quickly. I'm enough for Ersha!"
Lin Yue planned to split the troops into two groups. She would deal with those people alone. Transferring the food was the most important thing!
"Ayue, there are more of them. I'd better go with you! It's easier to have someone to look after you!"
Qin Shu was worried and insisted on following her. Lin Yue had no choice but to agree!
The two of them took a shortcut and arrived at the place they had agreed with Ye Ersha in advance.
This is the territory of the three bears. Lin Yue has been here twice and is already familiar with the place!
This area has steep cliffs with precious cliff honey on them, so it is the favorite of the big bears.
Coincidentally, he met the grizzly bear, and Qin Shu saw a scene that he would never forget.
