Start a mysterious island

In a dilapidated bungalow, there was a young man wearing gray linen clothes, holding a teacup in his hand and sitting on a chair with a serious expression on his face.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door. When the young man in gray linen clothes heard the noise, he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand, turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and asked.

"who?"

The person outside the door responded quickly, "Second brother, it's me..."

A young man wearing gray linen clothes heard a familiar voice and stood up to open the door.

The person outside the door was thin and thin. When he saw the door open, he immediately got in.

The young man in gray linen clothes looked around to make sure no one was following him, and then closed the door.

After the thin man entered the door, he immediately came to the table, picked up the kettle on the table, and drank water directly.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

After taking several sips, most of the water in the kettle was drank in one go.

The young man in gray linen clothes saw his companion drinking water and asked quickly, "How is the matter I asked you to inquire about? Is there any result?"

When the thin man heard this, he said in great panic, "Second brother, something bad is going on."

When the young man in gray linen clothes heard what his companion said, his heart suddenly thumped and he hurriedly asked, "Brother, something happened to them?"

"Yes." The thin man nodded, and then told the news he had learned.

"Brother, they were caught by the Yamen?!!!" The young man in gray linen clothes had an expression of disbelief on his face after listening to the story.

"Is this absolutely true?"

"It's absolutely true." The thin man added, "In order to verify the authenticity of this news, I specially spent some money to bribe the police officers in the Yamen..."

"..." The young man in gray linen clothes suddenly fell silent after hearing the bad news. At this moment, his heart felt cold.

There was silence in the room. After a while, the young man in gray linen clothes asked his companion again.

"Isn't there just an ordinary woman staying in that family? Why did Brother and the others fall into the hands of that woman?"

The thin man said, "Brother, they didn't fall into the hands of that woman."

"Huh?" The young man in gray linen clothes was a little confused.

"The policeman I bribed told me that the person who caught Big Brother and the others was the head of that family. He is said to be young, only in his early twenties..." said the thin man.

"Just one person, and he's only in his early twenties, can capture all of them. How is this possible?" The young man in gray linen clothes didn't believe this.

"I also think something is fishy, ​​but eldest brother and the others are indeed in the hands of the Yamen now." The thin man replied, and then he asked again, "Second brother, what should we do now?"

"Do you have any idea?"

"I do not know!"

"Huh..." The young man in gray linen clothes took a deep breath and then exhaled.

After he adjusted his uneasy mood, his eyes flickered a few times and he said to his companions.

"Now, brother and the others have been caught by the Yamen's police. It is impossible for us to save them with our strength."

The thin man nodded, and then he reacted belatedly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Second brother, do you mean to give up on eldest brother and the others?!!!"

Seeing that his companion was so straightforward, the young man in gray linen clothes stopped being secretive and said in a serious tone.

"Things have become like this. The place where we are hiding now is no longer safe. We must leave as soon as possible. It is best to leave Dongwu City."

"This..." There was a hesitant expression on the skinny man's face. He felt that just escaping like this was too disrespectful.

The young man wearing gray linen clothes saw the change of expression on his companion's face and knew what the other person was struggling with at the moment.

So he quickly went to the corner of the room, opened the cabinet, and took out a worn linen bag.

The thin man was very confused, but his eyes were soon widened by the other party's operation.

"Wow..."

A young man in gray linen clothes came to the table carrying a linen bag, raised his hand and poured all the contents of the linen bag onto the table.

A dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry was scattered on the table. The thin man opened his mouth wide when he saw it, and then murmured to himself, "So much money."

"Now, brother and the others have been caught by the Yamen's police. If we go to rescue them, it will be like falling into a trap." The young man in gray linen clothes whispered.

"..." The thin man remained silent, staring intently at the gold and silver jewelry in front of him, greed gradually showing in his eyes.

"Let's divide these gold, silver and jewels. It will be enough for us to be rich and drink spicy food for the rest of our lives." The young man in gray linen clothes whispered softly, tempting his companions to make a decision.

The thin man was originally a greedy person and couldn't resist the temptation, so he agreed to the plan to divide the gold, silver and jewelry and escape from Dongwu City.

After a while, the two criminal thieves divided the gold, silver and jewelry, left the dilapidated bungalow, and headed towards the city gate.

It is broad daylight now and there are many people on the street.

Logically speaking, it would be safer to wait until evening before leaving the city.

However, many of our companions have been caught by the Yamen's police officers, and there is no guarantee that the captured companions will remain secretive.

Once the hiding place is known to the Yamen police, continuing to stay in the dilapidated bungalow is tantamount to waiting for death.

There were notices for wanted criminals in many places on the streets, which frightened the two criminal thieves who were carrying sacks as they headed to the city gate.

"Second brother, how about we call a carriage!" The thin man stopped and shouted.

"..." The young man in gray linen clothes heard this, thought for a few seconds, and then nodded.

Two people stood under a big tree on the roadside, waiting for the carriage without passengers.

When you are in a hurry to leave the city, you will feel that time passes very slowly. The two criminal thieves seem to be passing seconds at this moment, and they are very anxious.

"Da da da……"

The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone tiles, making a crisp sound.

A carriage appeared at the end of the street, and the old horse was running energetically.

"Xu."

The driver pulled the reins in his hand and signaled the horse to stop.

“咴咴……”

After the old horse stopped, he let out a groan.

"Sir, we've arrived." The driver turned his head and said to the passengers in the carriage.

Lin Li opened the curtain and got out of the car, then took out the fare from his pocket and handed it to the driver, "Old man, thank you for your hard work on this journey."

"Compared with farming, this hard work is not hard at all." The driver said with a smile.

Then he took the fare Lin Li handed over, carefully counted it, confirmed that there were no mistakes, and then put it in his arms.

"I'm leaving. See you later." Lin Li said with a smile, then turned and walked towards a commercial street in the distance.

At this time, two men with a lot of dust on their faces and carrying sacks came over and passed Lin Li.

Lin Li saw the two dirty men and glanced at the sacks they were carrying, "Scavengers?"

The coachman was about to leave when he saw two dirty men approaching and asked to take a ride, so he asked, "Where are you two going?"

"Leave the city." The young man in gray linen clothes said concisely.

"Which city gate are you going to?" the coachman asked.

"From the north." The young man wearing gray linen clothes answered.

"It's a bit far, it costs fifty copper coins." The coachman gave a price.

"Okay." The two of them were anxious to leave the city and agreed immediately after hearing the price. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, an accident happened.

"tear……"

The old linen bag was overwhelmed and the crack widened. The gold, silver and jewelry in the bag poured out in an instant and fell all over the floor.

"Damn it."

When the thin man saw his gold and silver treasures scattered on the ground, he cursed in anger, and then bent down to pick them up.

"What the hell, can't you choose a better bag?" The young man in gray linen clothes yelled.

Don't blame him for breaking through the defense at once, because there are many passers-by on the street now, and now the gold and silver treasures are scattered on the ground, which immediately attracts everyone's attention.

You know, in order not to attract attention, they make themselves dirty, like scavengers.

It's good now, the scavengers carry so much gold and silver, any normal person would know there's something wrong with them.

Worse things happened one after another. There happened to be a policeman in gray patrolling the street across the street. When he saw this, he rushed over immediately.

"Don't move."

When the young man in gray linen clothes saw the policeman rushing over, his expression changed drastically, and then he shouted to his companion who was still picking up gold and silver jewelry, "The policeman is here, please stop picking up."

The thin man was already greedy for money, and the stolen goods he received were related to whether he could be popular and drink hot food for the rest of his life. How could he listen to advice at this time?

The gray-clothed detective pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted at the two scavengers, "Didn't you hear what I said? Stop it quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, and a figure flew out and landed on the ground a few meters away.

It turned out that it was a young man in gray linen clothes who took action. He was in front of the gray-clothed policeman in an instant and knocked him away.

"puff."

The gray-clothed detective who was beaten away vomited blood and fell to the ground, his face as white as paper.

After repelling the enemy, the young man in gray linen clothes yelled at his companions who were still picking up gold and silver jewelry.

"Stop picking it up. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave..."

A shrill whistle sounded, and when he heard it, he turned around and saw that it was the gray-clothed policeman who was seriously injured and was blowing the whistle.

"He's calling for someone. Many police officers will be here soon..." The expression of the young man in gray linen clothes changed suddenly. He knew that time was running out and if he continued to delay, he would really be unable to leave.

The thin man heard the gray-clothed detective blow his whistle and regained some of his sanity.

He looked at the gold and silver jewelry that had not been picked up on the ground, gritted his teeth, and then wrapped the packed gold and silver jewelry and held it in his arms.

At this time, the carriage needed to be snatched. The young man in gray linen clothes reached out and grabbed the driver's collar, exerted his strength in his arm, and threw him aside.

"ah……"

The driver was so frightened that he screamed. He was not young, and if he fell to the ground, his life would be lost on the spot.

Passers-by on both sides of the street were frightened by the scene happening in front of them and screamed again and again. Just when the coachman was about to fall to the ground, a figure appeared next to the coachman, reaching out to grab the coachman's clothes and help him land safely.

"Old man, are you okay?"

The shocked coachman was panting. He quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then thanked him, "Thank you, sir."

"drive."

The two thieves had seized the carriage and were now shaking the reins to drive the horses.

“咴咴……”

The old horse had followed the coachman for many years. When he saw his master being thrown away, he was very angry.

At this moment, no matter how the gangster shook the reins, the old horse stood motionless.

"My carriage," cried the driver.

This is an important asset for him to maintain his livelihood. If it is lost, it will be an extremely serious blow to him.

"Old man, don't go there." When Lin Li saw the coachman rushing to take back the carriage, he quickly reached out and grabbed the other man's arm.

From the scene I just saw, it is not difficult to see that the two people who robbed the carriage are practitioners.

As an ordinary man, if the coachman rushes forward to take back the carriage, he will definitely be punched to death by the other party.

"My carriage." The driver was very excited. If Lin Li hadn't grabbed his arm, he would have rushed forward.

"Old man, don't worry, just wait here. I'll help you get the carriage back now," Lin Li said.

"Sir." The coachman immediately became quiet after hearing what Lin Li said.

"You two are so brave to snatch someone else's carriage in broad daylight." Just as Lin Li was about to take action, a loud shout rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out from Lin Li's side, and in an instant he was in front of the two gangsters.

"Bang, bang."

The thin man fell from the carriage after being punched and rolled on the ground several times before stopping, with blood spurting from his mouth.

The young man in gray linen clothes was stronger. After being knocked away, he landed firmly on the ground and looked at the heroic woman in the distance with a serious expression.

"Hey, Zhu Xinru's cousin?" Lin Li looked at the woman who took action, with a surprised expression on his face.

After Li Qian, who was wearing a black outfit, snatched back the carriage, her attention was no longer on the two gangsters. She turned her head to look at Lin Li and said hello with a smile.

"Lin Li, long time no see."

"Miss, don't be distracted while fighting." He Manyu came to Lin Li's side and said to Li Qian who was greeting Lin Li.

"He's running away." Lin Li warned him quickly when he saw the young man in gray linen clothes turning around and running away.

"Don't run." Upon seeing this, Li Qian immediately jumped out of the carriage.

After landing, he walked as fast as flying and easily caught up with the fleeing Jiangyang thief. He raised both fists and launched an extremely ferocious attack.
