A Simple Favor
At this moment, a bandit landed in front of the bandit leader with a bang.
He twitched twice and died.
Startled, the bandits looked around warily.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed. In an instant, another bandit fell again.
The villager they were restraining looked up in panic.
Chu Tianbao, who was taller than a bandit, held a blood-stained sword and placed it on the bandit leader’s neck.
The situation actually changed in an instant.
Seeing Chu Tianbao, who was like a G.o.d descending, Zhao Pengfei widened his eyes in disbelief. The eyes of the steel-like man gradually moistened.
“Brothers, kill the bandits and avenge everyone!”
He stood up and led the young men forward to fight the remaining bandits.
Soon, the bandits fled and died, leaving only the bandit leader who had been captured by Chu Tianbao.
The bandit leader looked at the corpses of the bandits and felt a chill in his heart.
These good-for-nothings had eaten so much of his food, but they were actually so useless!
Lin Yue held his sword and cleared the way. Bai Wutong appeared with Stinky in her arms. Chu Tianbao’s cold eyes immediately lit up.
Bai Wutong did not want to be a busybody. But who asked Madam Yang to try their best to make her run away with Stinky when they saw the bandits coming?
It was not that she was soft-hearted. After all, the bandits had called her ugly and wanted to kill all of them.
Chu Tianbao moved slightly with his sword. The bandit leader, whose neck ran cold, trembled in fear and hurriedly begged, “Hero, please have mercy on me! Please have mercy!”
Afraid that Chu Tianbao’s hands would move too much, the bandit leader hurriedly coaxed, “You’re tall and strong, have an extraordinary temperament, and are very capable. Why don’t you join our Heavenly Stronghold? I guarantee that you’ll live a good life and be a groom every night. You’ll be even more carefree than the emperor. As long as you put down your sword, you’ll be the future head of the Heavenly Stronghold! If you say a word, I won’t dare to say a word. Our brothers will follow you!”
It must have been hard on him to be able to stutter so much flattery when he couldn’t read.
Everyone’s faces suddenly turned pale. They all looked at Chu Tianbao at the same time, afraid that he would agree to the bandits’ conditions.
Chu Tianbao didn’t listen to him at all. His gaze remained on Bai Wutong.
The bandit leader followed Chu Tianbao’s gaze and landed on Bai Wutong’s extremely ugly face. A question mark slowly appeared on his head.
He glanced at Chu Tianbao, who was “emotional” and seemed to understand something.
Chu Tianbao was a coward who was afraid of his wife!
His strong desire to live made him swallow hard. He smiled insincerely at Bai Wutong and said, “Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law is really, really healthy!” Then he looked at the fair and tender Stinky and smiled awkwardly with a sincere expression. “As expected of Sister-in-law. No wonder she gave birth to such a f*cking handsome fat boy!”
“In the future, I’ll definitely give birth to more fat boys for our big brother! What I said just now was all nonsense. Sister-in-law, don’t mind me. In the future, if any little vixen dares to seduce our big brother, I’ll be the first to disagree.”
Bai Wutong’s expression was calm the entire time. Her gaze, which did not seem to have any warmth, made the bandit leader tremble in fear.
This ugly girl shouldn’t be so vicious right!
Bai Wutong glanced at the frightened villagers and suddenly asked him, “Is everyone from the Heavenly Stronghold here?”
The bandit leader thought that she was tempted, and his face immediately lit up. He said solicitously, “There are still more than a hundred of us in the Heavenly Stronghold. When we get back, I’ll pick a few hardworking girls to give to Sister-in-law. I have a few boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry. I’ll send them to Sister-in-law later.” The more he flattered her, the more his face turned red. “Only a woman with an otherworldly temperament like Sister-in-law is worthy of those things.”
Bai Wutong seemed satisfied and asked, “Then who do you think the hundred people listen to now?”
The bandit leader chuckled. “I still have two sworn brothers, but don’t worry, Sister-in-law. If Big Brother comes back with us, I guarantee that they won’t dare to have any objections.”
Lin Yue looked at Bai Wutong in confusion, not understanding why she was asking the bandit leader these questions.
Bai Wutong cleared his doubts quickly.
She glanced at Chu Tianbao. Chu Tianbao understood what Bai Wutong meant. The bandit leader, who was still smiling, had his throat cut in an instant.
He stared in disbelief, as if he couldn’t understand why Chu Tianbao had attacked. He struggled to say “you” before falling to the ground.
The villagers were dumbfounded. Chu Tianbao’s actions were a little scary.
Bai Wutong looked at Village Chief Zhao, who had yet to react, and said, “There are still more than 100 people in the Heavenly Stronghold. This bandit leader is dead, and the two brothers who are the leaders will definitely take revenge on you. You should make plans early. We’re leaving.”
Only then did Village Chief Zhao understand that Bai Wutong was helping them inquire about the Heavenly Stronghold. She even specially reminded them that they should not stay in the village anymore.
Village Chief Zhao was about to thank with the villagers.
“Old man, San’er, are you alright?” At this moment, Madam Yang rushed out. When they saw Zhao Yuan lying on the ground, they immediately pounced on him and shouted in fear, “Yuan’er, Yuan’er, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare Mom! Wake up!”
She patted Zhao Yuan’s face hard, but Zhao Yuan still did not open his eyes.
Madam Yang immediately burst into tears. “These d.a.m.ned beasts, I curse you all to die a horrible death. My poor Yuan’er! Why is your life so miserable? You must come and look for me in your next life! Sob sob sob~”
Just as Madam Yang was crying sadly, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. In the next second, a familiar voice sounded. Zhao Yuan said with a painful face, “Mom, why are you crying?”
Madam Yang’s cries stopped abruptly. There were still tears on her rough face as she said with a smile, “Son, you’re not dead?”
Zhao Yuan rubbed his face and said, “Almost. It’s just that my neck and face hurt.”
Madam Yang hurriedly said, “When Mom gets back, I’ll apply some plant ash on you.”
When Village Chief Zhao came back to his senses, Bai Wutong and the others had already left without saying goodbye.
Village Chief Zhao hurriedly led the villagers to chase after them.
Fortunately, it was dark and they caught up before long.
Village Chief Zhao panted and said, “Young Master, Madam, don’t go. It’s already late. Stay for the night. We haven’t thanked you properly yet.”
Previously, Bai Wutong had planned to stay overnight.
But now, these villagers had lost so many of their loved ones and each of them had their own matters to deal with. The bandits might come again, and the rain had stopped. It was better to get going as soon as possible to prevent any more trouble.
Bai Wutong said, “No need. We just met by chance. It’s a simple favor.”
It was a piece of cake to repel so many bandits.
How could Village Chief Zhao not understand how powerful Bai Wutong and the others were? If they were willing to stay, they would definitely be able to defeat more than a hundred bandits easily.
Village Chief Zhao didn’t want them to leave either. He hurriedly said, “You guys can continue travelling but how can a child withstand such torture?”
Madam Yang was sincerely grateful to Bai Wutong and the others for taking action in time. If not for Chu Tianbao, the entire farm might not have survived.
She said, “The baby still needs milk. Even if it’s for the sake of the baby, you should have a hot meal at dawn before you leave.”
The villagers all echoed, “That’s right, benefactor. Leave after tomorrow.”
