Chapter 113 Fighting Bandits Together

Tian Xueni looked at the tall man in front of her and felt that he was the most responsible man she had ever met.

"General Gu, you are a good person, and your whole family is good people. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, you are all benefactors of our Tian family." Tian Xueni said sincerely, "Although I don't know why you made a mistake, I think you must have your reasons."

Gu Mingjing smiled and said, "Miss, please don't call me that. I'm really ashamed. Good people can make mistakes, and bad people can do good things. Things are never black and white."

Tian Xueni nodded. Although she didn't quite understand what he said, she felt that what he said was really nice.

When she returned to the house, Tian Xueni saw her parents sighing and looking very unhappy.

"My dear, what did they say?" Old Man Tian said, "We didn't kill the man, so... it shouldn't be our fault, right?"

Tian Xueni frowned, "Dad, we didn't kill the man, but why did he kill? Wasn't it to help me? If they heard what you said, they would be so disappointed."

"Dad... Dad didn't mean that." Old Man Tian explained awkwardly, "Dad meant that you should leave quickly and walk as far as you can. Your mother and I are old and have no skills. We only have one worthless life left, so I will fight them to the death."

"Dad~" Tian Xueni knew that her father didn't have any great abilities, but he wasn't a bad person either.

"I'm your daughter. How can I bear to see you and mother being bullied by those people because of me? Besides, if I leave, and I don't win the fight, won't everyone in our village be in trouble?"

She actually had confidence in the Gu family, but she also prepared for the worst.

"If the government really doesn't care and the Gu family can't defeat them, then I'll go with the bandits."

"No, my daughter, you are your mother's and my life." said Old Man Tian.

"I am your life, but I am also the life of my parents. We are both lives. Why should I let others die for me?"

She thought about it and decided that even if she went up the mountain, she would find the right opportunity to kill the bandit leader. She had no intention of living anyway.

One life for another, she has not lost anything.

The old couple of the Tian family remained silent, just watching their daughter blame herself for her incompetence.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Tian Xueni took a deep breath and her face became solemn. The old couple of the Tian family shuddered subconsciously, "The bandits are coming!"

The Gu family members in the yard also heard the noise and quickened their knife sharpening.

But to Li Mumu, it didn't sound like the voice of a bandit.

Sure enough, someone outside the yard shouted, "I...I'm Dazhu. I'm with you and will fight them."

Who is Dazhu?

Li Mumu looked at Tian Xueni, who had just walked out of the house, in confusion.

Tian Xueni breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Dazhu is the man Sister Guihua is engaged to."

Since they were not bandits, Li Mumu used his short legs to push the door open.

After the wooden door opened, she saw more than a dozen men, some holding rakes and some holding hoes.

Tian Xueni was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing..."

As soon as the tall man opened his mouth, Li Mumu recognized him as Dazhu. "Sister Xueni, Guihua died tragically. After she left, I didn't want to live anymore. I didn't catch up then, but now I'm home. Anyway, if I die early, I can see her sooner. That big sister was right. This time it was you, and next time there will be other girls. When will it end?"

"I think those people in your yard are quite capable of fighting. I also heard about Gu Jiajun's reputation when I was working outside. He has never lost a battle. I think it shouldn't be difficult for them to deal with the bandits."

Dazhu said with red eyes: "These are people with sisters at home. We decided to fight the bandits with them."

More than a dozen men responded, "That's right, my sister was bullied by bandits and forced to jump into the river because she was disliked by her in-laws. I have an irreconcilable hatred for them."

"And me!"

"And me!"

The men's shouts were deafening.

Gu Mingyu also stood up at this time. In order to fight the bandits, the yamen runners had already removed the shackles and handcuffs from the men of the Gu family.

"Fellow villagers, thank you for your trust, but if we really start fighting, there will be casualties. Are you afraid..."

"We are not afraid." Dazhu was the first to shout, followed by the men's echoes.

Especially the young man who was clamoring to avenge his sister, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old. "Are you General Gu?"

"I...was, and am, a wanted criminal of the imperial court."

"It doesn't matter. You've done things the government wouldn't do, so in our hearts, you're good people," the young man said loudly. "We're not afraid of death. We came here today and considered ourselves dead. Bandits and government officials are robbing us anyway, so we'd have been dead for a long time."

"That's right, it's better to die quickly." another man said loudly.

Gu Mingyu sighed, but if this group of people really started fighting, it would definitely not work.

He didn't want to see more casualties.

"How about this, everyone go back first and wait for the yamen runners to bring the officers and soldiers."

"General Gu, please don't lie to us and leave. We will stay with you."

Gu Mingyu frowned. This young man was quite smart. "This..."

At this moment, someone shouted, "The bandits are coming, there are so many of them!"

The villagers waved the weapons in their hands, as if they were ready to fight the bandits.

Gu Mingyu knew that they would die if they went in, so he had to ask them to go into the yard first.

"It's already this hour, why haven't the reinforcements brought by Liuzi arrived yet?" Gu Mingtang asked anxiously.

Mr. Gu was unusually calm, "Why are you panicking?"

After being yelled at by his father, Gu Mingtang immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to breathe.

Gu Yu knew that he shouldn't laugh at this time, but he really felt good about it. His father usually scolded him like this.

"Twilight!"

"Grandpa, I'm here!" Li Mumu responded in a baby voice.

Old Master Gu looked at his second son with a look of disdain, "You are not as calm as a child."

Gu Mingtang blushed, "Dad...I..."

Old Master Gu didn't listen to his nonsense at all, "Mumu, let's go and meet that guy with Grandpa."

"Okay!" Li Mumu ran to Grandpa Gu. As the old man shouted "Open the door" loudly, the grandfather and grandson strode over the threshold.

Li Mumu didn't know why her grandfather took her out. Was it a provocation to the bandit leader?

Old Master Gu looked at his little granddaughter who remained calm. She was brave, resourceful and courageous. How could this be just a simple provocation?

The leading man was riding on a horse, with a black cloth covering one eye and a face full of flesh. He really looked like a bandit, and many bad guys in the village looked like this.

Even if Li Mumu had not read the original novel, she could guess at this moment that he must be Boss Hu.
