Chapter 1771
People Who Play Clever
Seeing Wang An disappear into the bushes, Mu Xueli and the other two also hid. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were a little confused and stopped barking. They looked at where Mu Xueli and the other two were hiding, then turned around and followed Wang An's back into the bushes.
Wang An had just found a good spot, a spot where he could see the other side of the ravine and hide himself perfectly, when he heard heavy breathing in his ear. Then, two large, furry creatures appeared beside him.
Turning my head, I saw it was Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.
At this moment, the two dogs probably thought Wang An was playing hide-and-seek with them, and kept nudging their heads toward Wang An.
Wang An patted their heads and whispered:
"There are bad guys coming. You two shut up and get down."
To be honest, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were really obedient. As soon as Wang An finished speaking, the two dogs lay down next to him.
Wang An patted their heads again and instructed them:
"You two, stop yelling! If you keep yelling, you'll scare the bad guys away."
Blackie and Whitey stared at Wang An with curious eyes. Although they lay still, their big tails kept wagging.
After calming the two dogs down, Wang An turned his gaze back towards the ravine.
Soon, two men on horseback came into Wang An's view, but because they were too far away, Wang An couldn't hear what they were saying.
Of course, when Wang An saw the two men, Mu Xueli, Wang Li, and Huang Zhong also saw them, and the three of them had already quietly aimed their guns at the two men.
However, Wang An did not make a move, and the three men simply kept their eyes fixed on the two of them without firing a shot.
Soon, the two men spotted the horses grazing, but they were unaware that they had been exposed to Wang An and his group of four.
Upon seeing the horses, the two men dismounted and quickly led their horses into the nearby woods.
Wang An watched quietly as the two people and their two horses disappeared into the woods, still refraining from making any rash moves.
Wang An mainly wanted to see what these two were up to, whether they were following the four of them or they were just passing by.
However, the two men soon emerged furtively from the woods, but the horse they were leading was not brought out; it was clearly hidden in the woods.
Wang An and his three companions almost burst out laughing when they saw this.
They thought their arrival had gone unnoticed by Wang An and his companions, unaware that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had already informed them of the approaching strangers.
Wang An was now certain that these two were definitely after him and his group of four. However, what Wang An couldn't understand was why they were so confident. Did they think that they could take down the four of them with just two worthless individuals?
Wang An continued to observe the two men discreetly through the gaps in the bushes. He saw them emerge, look around, and then walk towards the direction where the horses were.
But when the two men got to this side and saw the unwashed iron pot, the embers still glowing beneath it, and the two packages that Wang An and his companions hadn't had time to pack up in their haste to hide, they were struck dumb, as if by lightning.
Because all of these things indicate that there were people here just now.
But where have all the people here gone? The most important question is, when did they leave?
Fortunately, Wang An didn't give them a chance to think. He leisurely walked out of the bushes with his gun. Immediately afterward, Wang Li, Mu Xueli, and Huang Zhong also emerged from their respective ambush positions, each carrying a Type 56 assault rifle, and surrounded the two men.
Wang An chuckled and joked:
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?"
The two men were completely dumbfounded. They turned their heads to look at the four men, including Wang An, who had suddenly appeared, and instinctively tried to take the guns off their backs.
Under these circumstances, how could Wang An possibly allow them to use guns? I really don't understand what these two were thinking.
Wang An noticed the two men's movements and, without saying a word, fired several shots at their feet.
As the sounds of "bang bang bang bang" rang out, the grass clippings and dirt kicked up by the bullets immediately covered the faces of the two men, who then stood there obediently, not daring to move.
Wang An put away his gun and then calmly said:
"Holy shit, you two, are you treating us like dirt? What the hell? Are your claws scratching us? Should I chop them off?"
At this moment, one of them, his face filled with fear, forced a smile and said:
"Big brother, we were just passing by, really just passing by. We just wanted to relieve ourselves a bit, find a place to take a dump. You guys don't need to do this, haha. Hahaha."
After saying that, the man gave an awkward laugh a few times.
It has to be said that this person acted quite well, perfectly capturing the human tendency to fear death, be tense, and panicked.
If Wang An and his companions hadn't seen them the moment they appeared, they might have been fooled by his performance.
Although Wang An knew the man was talking nonsense, he still nodded and cooperated perfectly, saying:
"Just passing by? Need to take a dump? Okay, squat down and do it, we'll watch you."
After Wang An finished speaking, the man continued with a fawning smile:
"It's not appropriate to poop here, it smells terrible. Why don't we go poop over there? Hehehehehe."
After saying that, the boy lifted his foot and tried to walk towards where they hid their horses.
Wang An was too lazy to argue with him anymore. He raised his gun, aimed at the back of the boy's head, and fired a shot without hesitation.
The reason Wang An fired so readily was because he strongly disliked people who acted shrewdly regardless of time or place.
Perhaps in the mind of such a person, they are the only smart person in the world, and everyone else is a fool.
Of course, if the other party wasn't targeting Wang An and his group, Wang An certainly wouldn't have shot him dead; at most, he would have just ignored him. But since things were so clear, he still tried to get away with it. In Wang An's opinion, such a person should die sooner rather than later.
As the gunshot rang out, the kid's head exploded instantly, like a watermelon hitting the ground.
Red and white stuff, along with bone fragments, scalp, and hair, flew everywhere—it was everywhere.
To be fair, the Type 56 assault rifle is actually quite powerful at close range; it can even blow a person's head off. (End of Chapter)
