Chapter 370

The reason Wang An was so shocked to see this footprint was that, in Wang An's view, the owner of this footprint should have already been dead.

Moreover, he should have been killed by a shell, and the kind that was blown into tiny pieces.

But this person, damn it, didn't die; this is truly, damn it... awesome!

I have to say, this person's life is truly damn tough.

This footprint was the one Wang An had discovered once in the Wild Boar Forest and once in the dense forest, the one with a shoe sole that had a heel plate at the toe.

It was mainly because this person's shoe sole was too damn special, making it impossible for Wang An to forget even if he wanted to.

Actually, after Zhang Shuya escaped from the forbidden area, what happened in the forbidden area was unknown to both Wang An and Zhang Shuya.

So Wang An didn't know that when this person went to find Zhang Shuya under Ninth Brother's orders, he had just taken the chance to run away.

And when this person came back after playing outside for two days, he found that the forbidden area was already a ruin, and there was nothing left.

It must be said that this person didn't have a map or a pattern.

But this person had inadvertently discovered that Ninth Brother had hidden things in these two places.

Because these things of Ninth Brother's were not buried here all at once, but were buried as they were accumulated, which had been going on for several years.

When this person heard that Ninth Brother was finished, he wanted to take these things for himself.

As the saying goes, "Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him"!

So this person doing this was actually understandable, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But in Wang An's view, it wasn't like that, because Wang An believed that this person was the backup plan Ninth Brother had left behind.

After Wang An observed carefully for a while, he said to Feng Chengmin with a grave expression:

"Looking at the footprints, there should be six people in this group; we need to hurry and leave."

Feng Chengmin looked at the two marks left in the pit after the jars were moved, and then looked at the footprints left by those people, but said to Wang An with a face full of eagerness:

"Little An, there are only 6 of them, at most 6 guns; can't we just have a go at them?"

As soon as Feng Chengmin said this, it was like a ladle of cold water in midwinter splashed on Wang An's face, shaking Wang An so much he almost stumbled.

I have to say, this old uncle-in-law is truly quite vicious!

Wang An looked at Feng Chengmin with disbelief, instantly not knowing what to say.

Finding that Wang An didn't speak, Feng Chengmin said with a face full of mockery:

"With you like this, you're still called 'Big Madman' in the underworld? Is this all the guts you have?"

Wang An sighed helplessly, thought for a moment, and said truthfully:

"Old uncle-in-law, this is a group of fierce bandits who specialize in trafficking 'earth smoke balls'; compared to them, my track record isn't even worth a chicken feather."

As soon as Wang An mentioned "earth smoke balls," Feng Chengmin immediately lost the idea of "having a go at them," but still said stubbornly:

"Everyone has one head on two shoulders; if a bullet hits his head, won't he die?"

Wang An looked at his stubborn old uncle-in-law, just smiled, and didn't speak.

To be honest, Wang An also had the idea of "having a go at them," but he quickly dismissed it.

You have to know that when the police confronted them, they didn't even use guns, but chose to bombard them with artillery.

From this, you can see that the police were also a bit wary of them.

Of course, this has nothing to do with what profession they are in; after all, bullets don't have eyes.

Once a fight starts, the quality of marksmanship only plays an auxiliary role, and death has nothing to do with victory.

Imagine if the other side was all killed by your side, and your side only had one casualty.

Is the person who says the words "only one" damn hateful?

People are damn gone; whose family can stand it? And you're still here celebrating with me?

So, for Wang An, this wasn't about being afraid, nor was it a matter of "guts or no guts"; it was mainly because doing so wasn't worth it and was completely unnecessary.

Bringing the people he brought into the mountains back safely is the only scene that is happy for everyone.

Wang An stopped paying attention to Feng Chengmin, scanned the group, and said with a smile:

"The stuff here is gone, so let's go; it's just right to go home and divide these treasures, and then we can drink some small wine and have a good sleep."

At this time, Wang Li, who had also finished looking at the footprints, said: "Fourth Brother, we..."

Before Wang Li could finish, Wang Daliang pulled his son Wang Li and glared at him fiercely.

No one knows a son better than his father; Wang Daliang had long been guarding against Wang Li. After suppressing his son's words, Wang Daliang said with a smile: "You're the leader, you have the final say."

Actually, although everyone didn't hear the conversation between Wang An and Feng Chengmin clearly just now, they heard enough.

Especially after Wang An said the four words "earth smoke balls," those who understood the situation had no other thoughts.

I have to say, no matter how fierce the folk customs are, everyone is afraid of death.

After Wang Daliang finished speaking, everyone echoed him.

"Little An is right, this whole night has exhausted me."

"Yeah, it's been how many years since I spent the night in the mountains."

"I'm hungry, fish doesn't fill you up."

"I'm hungry too."

Everyone talked while walking toward the sled.

After Wang An sat on the sled, he thought for a while, feeling that going straight home like this wasn't very safe, so he shouted to the group:

"You all follow me, okay."

After Wang An shouted, he shouted "Giddy-up" again, and the big horse ran forward.

On the way, Wang Dazhu, who found the road was wrong, asked Wang An:

"Where are you trying to drive the sled? Are those people really that vicious?"

Wang An definitely wouldn't say that he had dealt with these people quite a bit in his past life.

Facing this group of inhumane guys, you either kill them all in one encounter, or you have to hide far away.

Anyway, never get entangled with them; there's only the thief who steals for a thousand days, how can there be a thief who guards for a thousand days?

The key is that you damn can't guard against them!

To be honest, if it hadn't been for the snow that was deep enough to cover the instep on the night Ninth Brother was caught, Wang An would have been somewhat worried about whether those people would follow the sled tracks all the way home.

Just as Wang An was driving the sled and leading the group, circling around blindly in the mountains.

Six people on horseback arrived at the pit that Wang An and the group had dug out yesterday.

Seeing the pit, these six people dismounted one after another.

Only one of them said in a rage: "Damn, we're late, damn it!"

The second person frowned and said: "Could this be the backup plan Ninth Brother left behind?"

The third person said: "Ninth Brother's way of doing things is always to calculate eight steps for every one he takes; it's really hard to say."

The first person was already very unhappy, and upon hearing this, he said disdainfully:

"If he's so awesome, why didn't he calculate when he would be caught?"

The third person was stunned upon hearing this, seeming a bit angry, but said nothing and shut his mouth directly.

Immediately after, the first person said again: "Let's go, let's go check that place from yesterday and see what's going on."

As this person was speaking, he walked back to the horse, flipped onto the horse directly, and the other 5 people did the same.

I have to say, this person was quite familiar with these two locations; he didn't take any turns and arrived directly at the destination.

After observing the footprints and sled tracks left by Wang An and the others, this person flipped onto the horse again and said to the other 5 people:

"Let's go, let's chase them!"

I have to say, Wang An still had great foresight!
