Chapter 52 Eavesdropping
  After several days of treatment by the two doctors, Kong Shun's injuries were better, and scabs had begun to form in many places.

After changing the medicine for him, the doctor said, "Strong man, we have old bones. How can we withstand your torment like this? Please have mercy on us, strong man, and let us go back. We will keep the prescription, and we can... just apply it by ourselves." ”

After finishing speaking, Kong Shun smiled and then kicked out. The doctor was kicked backwards, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

The other person quickly supported him without daring to speak.

Kong Shun snorted coldly, "I let you stay here because I respect your ability. If you treat me well, I will let you go home at some point."

"……Yes."

The two of them were locked back again, and there was no light in the small room. They both kept sighing.

"Lao Li, do you think we can go back?"

Another person said, "I don't know either. There is such a calamity in my life. The fortune teller only said that I would be unhappy this year, but he didn't say whether I would survive. Alas."

"The imperial court said it wanted to suppress bandits, but why didn't they suppress these horse thieves? They are arrogant and domineering, and they don't care about human life. The imperial court just pretends they can't see them. How many people are they going to kill?"

"Oh, the suppression of bandits is just a show. There are so many bandits in Xiema Village. How can the Yamen know about them? They haven't found any way to deal with them. It's just the people who suffer."

The two of them talked and talked, but they could only sigh.

After being missing for so long, I don’t know how my family will miss her, but it would be best if nothing happens to her.

Kong Shun sent someone to check the boy's origins, but several days passed without any news.

His face was sullen, and the brothers below him did not dare to speak.

The third child tried to speak, "Boss, if you ask me to tell you what I'm afraid of them doing, there were still fewer people going that day. We called all the brothers. I don't believe that we couldn't defeat a young boy. We suffered such a big loss that day. If If we don’t regain our position, who will take us seriously?”

"That's right, if Huzi knew about it, he would laugh at us."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked in the chest, and the little brother was kicked far away.

"Who is making fun of whom?" Kong Shun held back his anger, "I tell you, if you want to join Yue Laizi, go quickly and there is no need to suffer injustice here."

Seeing him getting angry, the younger brother immediately didn't dare to speak, huddled aside and lowered his head.

"I'm telling you, if you want to go to Yue Laizi's place, you should go there now. If I find out that you are having bad intentions, I will kill you all."

No one below dared to speak. At this moment, a younger brother came in from outside and said in a hurry, "Brother, Huzi has sent a message and asked me to meet him."

Kong Shun suddenly became furious.

"Go and tell Yue Laizi that you want to see me and come by yourself. I don't have the time to go up the mountain."

The younger brother didn't dare to speak, and the third child said, "Brother, there are people shouting outside that they are suppressing bandits, and Huzi is afraid... that he doesn't dare to come down the mountain."

Kong Shun thought to himself, if he had listened to Yue Laizi's arrangement, he would have been a head shorter.

But now Mr. Weng is indifferent. When he went to ask for help that day, he didn't see anyone. It can be said that he happened not to be in the house.

I went there twice after that, but saw no one in either case. It was already certain that Mr. Weng just avoided seeing him.

He and Hu Hu had always been in charge of the mountains and the ground. With this current situation, could it be that Mr. Weng had chosen Yue Laizi's side?
  Could it be that Yue Laizi already has clues about the treasure?
  Delaying like this was not an option, so even though he felt that he had lost face, Kong Shun still complied.

"I will go to meet him and reply to the letter. I will go tomorrow." "Yes."

Ye Xiangxiang found a lot of medicinal materials from the mountain behind his residence in the past few days, and also dug up adenophora, which was a good ingredient.

Ye Hongchang could also walk on the ground. Ye Xiangxiang was completely relieved. Fortunately, Meng Chang was here this time, otherwise Ye Hongchang would have died.

She wanted to go to the mountains to find food and medicinal materials, but she was afraid that Ye Hongchang would stop her, so she only said that she would look for them in the back mountains.

But in fact, she wanted to go somewhere farther today. This mountain is so big, and there must be a lot of good things on the mountain. If you don't go into the mountain, you won't know anything.

A few days passed, and the horse thief never came to cause trouble. Ye Xiangxiang was a little confused.

As soon as she left the house today, she saw Kong Shun leading several younger brothers out of the village on horseback. She hid aside and waited for them to leave before finding the way up the mountain.

Medicinal materials can be found everywhere on the mountain, and Ye Xiangxiang becomes more and more excited as he walks into the mountain.

This mountain is a treasure house. In addition, horse thieves are rampant here and no one dares to come. It is a pity that no one cares about the good things in such a place.

It was approaching noon, and Ye Xiangxiang had already walked a lot into the mountains. However, there were too many medicinal materials to collect, and she was really reluctant to go down the mountain like this.

But if I don’t go back, I will be scolded, and my family will be worried.

She glanced towards the mountain. She couldn't escape from this mountain. She could come back at any time later.

Just as I was about to go down the mountain, I suddenly heard someone talking at the top of the mountain.

Ye Xiangxiang concentrated her mind and leaned to the side to hear them clearly, but those people were too far away from her, so she had to climb up a little further.

Fortunately, he brought a rope with him when he went out today. Ye Xiangxiang threw the rope upward, tied it to the tree, and then climbed up the cliff little by little.

The cliff protrudes outwards, which can hide her. People on top can't see anyone approaching below.

Almost reaching the top of the mountain, Ye Xiangxiang found a place to stay and stuck firmly to the cliff. From here, he could just hear the conversation of the people above.

The reason why I was curious was because I thought the man's voice sounded like Kong Shun.

Kong Shun had obviously taken people out, so why was he on the mountain again?
  Now that they were close, Ye Xiangxiang could finally hear their conversation.

"Don't talk to me so much. It's just a matter of one sentence, whether to help or not. As long as you come forward, the gang below will disappear tomorrow."

This is Kong Shun's voice.

Ye Xiangxiang's heartbeat quickened. It was not difficult to guess who the group of people he was talking about was, but who was talking to him?
  Soon another person spoke, "We agreed that one would be in charge of the mountains and the other would be in charge of the ground. What you were doing was buying and selling immediately. I was robbing families and homes. My head was hanging on my waistband, so why should I take risks for you? No. help."

Kong Shun snorted coldly, "The frightened Yue Laizi is nothing more than that. They are just a bunch of refugees, but they scare you so much that you dare not take action. No wonder Mr. Weng doesn't want you to dominate. You don't have the guts."

"You have? What you said is nice, but you are just a bunch of refugees. Why are you being tortured like this? Kong Shun, when I come in front of me, don't ask for your modesty. If you kneel down and kowtow today, I immediately sent someone to kill those things without eyes, but are you asking for help?"

Kong Shun was humiliated and was very unhappy, "You and I usually don't quarrel with each other, and we should help each other when encountering problems. You can check the origin of that person for me, and I won't embarrass you anything else."

"Bah, why should I help you check it? Unless you call grandpa to listen."

 Beard is the name for bandit, not a specific person.
