Chapter 141: The Bandit's Husband

When exactly did it begin?

Why did seeing her suddenly become the thing I looked forward to the most?

Yu Shiyan thought silently for a while, then carefully put away the love knot and stopped thinking about it.

He was so preoccupied with missing her that he wondered if the carefree little sparrow was thinking of him too.

He sighed almost inaudibly, closed his eyes to rest, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Yu Shiyan woke up again, everything was pitch black in front of him, and his hands were tied behind his back, making it impossible for him to move.

The surroundings were not very stable, with the sound of rushing water and the loud noise of several men talking in my ears.

"That bastard, riding in such a nice carriage, and both chests are full of stones!"

"Alright, alright, what's the anger about? We didn't get any money, but we brought someone back kidnapped."

"What's the use of kidnapping people? They still need to be fed."

It would be best if someone came to ransom him; we at Qingfeng Village don't support idlers!

Upon hearing the words "Qingfeng Village," Yu Shiyan stopped paying attention.

It was obvious that the fish had taken the bait.

"Hey, Liu Mazi, what do you say? How about we make him our second-in-command's husband?"

“I think… alright, you know what, this pretty boy is really good-looking. Maybe the second-in-command will like him and won’t leave, he’ll stay in the village?”

"That makes sense. Hurry up, row faster!"

The second-in-command is probably still busy; let's just take her straight to the bridal chamber!

Yu Shiyan gave a subtle snort, wanting to see what tricks these bandits would pull.

Yuan Siyin rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and let out a long sigh.

After much deliberation, we finally managed to get the ledgers almost completely aligned.

Even though we're mountain bandits, we still need to keep a record of our income and expenses, otherwise we won't even know when we'll run out of money.

She instinctively reached for her hand, but there was no hot tea. When she looked up again, she saw that Jin Cancan had fallen asleep on the table.

She tiptoed and blew out the candles, then had Erxi carry the person back to the house to sleep.

In order to resolve problems as quickly as possible, she asked Wang Mazi to build her a simple shed, which was located next to the back mountain. If anything happened, she could simply lift the curtain and let Erxi in to ask Jin Dazhuang.

Erxi left, and Yuan Siyin stood outside temporarily filling in for him.

It was completely dark by now. Although it was a bit cold, you could see a sky full of stars when you looked up, so bright that it instantly lifted your spirits.

Before she could finish looking, Fatty Wang sneaked over, carrying something in his hands: "Second Master, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

"Just say what you have to say. Don't hide what you have in your hands."

Yuan Siyin calmly crossed her arms, staring at him for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was in his arms.

It wasn't that her eyesight was bad; it was mainly because Fatty Wang's big head was too bright and reflected light.

"Hehehe, this is a big gift the brothers prepared for the second-in-command. I had my wife alter the size, so don't worry!"

Yuan Siyin was completely confused.

What a wonderful gift, and it even comes in size!

Wang Pangzi refused to say any more, and only after Erxi returned did he pull Yuan Siyin back to their residence on the front mountain.

Because she suddenly became the second-in-command, she had a separate room, which was like a farmhouse courtyard, but it was already considered a luxurious presidential suite.

"After all that, this is what I get?"

Yuan Siyin tugged at a handful of red silk hanging on the fence, momentarily unable to comprehend Fatty Wang's thought process.

"Actually, we kidnapped a husband for you to keep as your husband."

Yuan Siyin choked back a sob: "What do you mean by 'bandit'?"

"The bandit chief is sitting inside."
