With her father and brother banished, and her engagement to the marquisate broken, everyone eagerly awaited to see Xiao Jiuyue become a laughingstock.
Facing her frail grandmother, her beauti...
Chapter 307: The Ungrateful Wolf
"Your machete is not as useful as our sword!" Luo Kui jumped off the carriage and gestured towards Shan Ge with her sword. She stared at the dozen or so people, looking at them one by one.
Brother Shan looked at the sword in Luo Kui's hand and stepped back. Is this still the rich lady? A rich lady holding a sword?
"Luo Kui, be careful that they might become desperate." Lian Xin jumped off the carriage and saw the bloodstains beside her. She helped Xiao Jiuyue get off the carriage and looked at the tied-up bandits, each of whom looked ferocious. She held Xiao Jiuyue tightly and looked at them warily.
"Oh my God." The moment Brother Shan looked at Xiao Jiuyue, his eyes widened as big as copper bells. What the man surnamed Luo said was true. This girl was as beautiful as a fairy.
If this is given to the second in command, he will definitely be happy!
Shan Ge's eyes rolled around and he said, "Miss, your family is gone. How about you come back to the village with me? I promise that with your pretty face, you can easily become a wife of the village chief. You'll have everything you want, and you'll be like a rich lady, with people waiting on you."
After hearing this, Luo Kui raised the sword in his hand and put it on his neck, saying, "Who wants to be a bandit with you?"
"No, no, no." Shan Ge's heart skipped a beat. He stared at the sword in Luo Kui's hand, afraid she might slip and kill him. He swallowed hard and said, "Let's talk it over. Aren't you going to seek refuge with relatives? Is there something wrong at home? These days, relatives are unreliable. You might as well come to our village."
"Who told you we're here?" Xiao Jiuyue's clear voice rang out, and Shan Ge said excitedly, "You have a pretty face, and even your voice is so nice. Girl, if you go to our village, the second in command will definitely treat you like a treasure. Good days are yet to come!"
"Shut up." Luo Kui moved the sword in his hand. The second in command, who had just been speaking fluently, immediately raised his hand and said hurriedly, "I won't say it, I won't say it."
"My young lady is asking you a question. Tell me, who told you that we were going to pass through here?" Luo Kui was like Xiao Jiuyue's mouthpiece. She stared at Shan Ge with eyes like knives, motioning him to answer.
"I, we are responsible for guarding this road today." Brother Shan's eyes flashed slightly.
"You're lying." Hua Qing rushed forward and kicked him. Looking at the sword in Luo Kui's hand, she took it and said, "Miss Luo Kui, you can't just talk when dealing with these bandits."
"Let me teach you today." Hua Qing said, and the sword in his hand directly stabbed Shan Ge's leg.
"Ah..." Shan Ge's scream rang out. The bandits, who had just thought that these women were nothing special and could be captured, suddenly retreated tremblingly. There was fear in their eyes when they looked at Hua Qing, as if they were afraid that the sword in her hand would fall on them.
"Speak." Hua Qing's eyes were sharp and vicious. Shan Ge's facial features were squeezed together in pain. He hurriedly said, "Luo Changsheng, it was Luo Changsheng who told us that there is a girl in your group who looks like a fairy."
"Luo Changsheng, who is that?" Hua Qing heard this unfamiliar name and was about to ask again when Dong Gui and Jin Wen had already caught the man and came back: "It's him!"
Dong Gui brought back the family of three, along with the man who had previously called them bandits. Dong Gui kicked him over and said, "Miss, here are Luo Changsheng, Luo Yuan, Tian, and Luo Min."
"When we arrived, we almost let them get away!" Dong Gui tied them up with a rope and dragged them directly in front of Xiao Jiuyue: "The young lady sent someone to rescue you, but you turned your back on her by telling the bandits about her!"
Donggui looked at these people with eyes that seemed to want to kill them!
"We were forced into this." Luo Yuan knelt directly in front of Xiao Jiuyue, tears streaming down his face, looking full of regret. He said, "I, I thought that with so many of you girls, you definitely wouldn't be afraid of the bandits."
"We are very grateful for saving my daughter's life, but..." Luo, who was standing by, knelt forward, wiping away tears as she said, "We were also trying to save my daughter."
"Just because your daughter is precious, you can harm my eldest daughter at will?" Luo Kui was so angry when she saw the family of three that she trembled all over. She pointed at their noses and cursed, "I thought you were just kindly reminding me, but who knew you were such ungrateful wolves, repaying kindness with enmity! Don't you have a guilty conscience?"
Luo Kui was so angry that he wanted to say all kinds of swear words.
A trace of guilt flashed in Luo Yuan's eyes. He said, "Girl, look, you are fine now. These bandits have been caught. Can you please let us go?"
"Those bandits are going too far. They're trying to take my daughter to the mountain stronghold. I'm really at my wit's end..." Luo Yuan knelt down in front of her and said, "Miss, I'll be fine with any beatings or punishments you give me. I only beg you to release my wife, my daughter, and the others."
"And Changsheng. Changsheng is my adopted son. He and my daughter are childhood sweethearts." Luo Yuan raised his head and looked at Xiao Jiuyue pleadingly.
Xiao Jiuyue pursed her lips and said nothing. Seeing Luo Yuan's concern for his daughter, her eyes flickered slightly and she said, "It's not just for our daughter, right?"
"Yes, I only have this one daughter." Before Luo Yuan finished speaking, Shan Ge, who was standing beside him, jumped up. Unfortunately, Hua Qing stepped on him and his face turned pale with pain. Shan Ge excitedly shouted, "Girl, don't listen to his nonsense. He wants to save his son and he wants the things you brought!"
"Nonsense." Luo Yuan retorted with a red face and thick neck after hearing this: "My daughter can't go to the mountain village, and my son can't go even more. Although we are peasants, we can't go up the mountain to be bandits!" Isn't that tying his life to his belt?
"Oh." Shan Ge sneered, "Then why would you rather exchange your daughter for your son than give up your own son? Wasn't it you who forced your daughter to jump into the river? It just so happened that you saw this beautiful girl and had an idea in your mind. You wanted to use this girl to exchange for your son!"
"Girl, I can't do something like you saved me and then I'll bite you." Shan Ge's mocking words didn't even need to mention names. He looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Although we are bandits, we also kill and rob those evil rich people. We call it robbing the rich to help the poor!"
Shan Ge straightened his back, the leg he was holding bleeding. He said, "Being a bandit may not sound good, but we have enough food and clothes, and those corrupt officials can't bully us. How great is that!"
"Miss, don't listen to his nonsense. I've never heard that being a bandit is okay." Luo Kui rolled her eyes at him. If she disliked and hated the ungrateful Luo Yuan family, she hated Shan Ge and his group of bandits even more. Robbing the rich to help the poor was a joke.
