Chapter 245 Mu Youcai Wants to Take a Concubine?

Mu Youcai was an honest and kind man; otherwise, he wouldn't have watched his wife and daughter being bullied by his mother for so many years.

At this moment, Zhong Yanli, having disguised herself, was completely unrecognizable as the elegant and beautiful woman who had just been accompanying the third bandit.

After hearing Zhong Yanli's words, Mu Youcai felt that the woman in front of him seemed quite pitiful. She had lost her husband, lost her virginity, and was now pregnant.

He looked at the woman who was clinging to his trouser leg out of sympathy.

"Madam, please let me go. You are indeed quite pitiful, and I feel very sorry for you."

But……"

Mu Youcai looked at Zhong Yanli with some confusion.

"Now that you've escaped from the mountain stronghold, you should leave here as soon as possible. It's too close to the bandits' den and it's not safe here. Once you're out, you can try to go back to your hometown."

"Brother Cai, are you all better now?"

Lin Jianfei, who was outside the woods, saw that Mu Youcai had been inside for so long and hadn't come out yet, so he called out to him with some concern.

"Jianfei, I'm ready, I'll be there soon."

Hearing the shout, Mu Youcai turned around and tried to leave, but Zhong Yanli sensed his intention and clung tightly to his leg, refusing to let go.

"Brother, brave warrior, please take me with you. It's really hard for a weak woman like me to survive in this desolate and turbulent world."

I don't want to escape one danger only to fall into another. How about this, brother, you lead me out of the mountains first, and I'll consider other options once we're out of here."

Mu Youcai glanced at the woman and pondered for a moment.

"Alright, you can come if you want, but let's agree that you'll leave once we reach the foot of the mountain."

Although Mu Youcai was honest and simple, he wasn't stupid. Bringing a woman home like this might upset his wife, and he also had a feeling that this woman seemed a bit difficult to deal with.

Zhong Yanli was overjoyed when she heard Mu Youcai agree to take her with him. She stood up and tried to lean on Mu Youcai.

Just as she was about to fall onto Mu Youcai, Mu Youcai realized something was wrong and quickly took a step back.

Zhong Yanli gave an awkward laugh, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Mu, I'm sorry, my leg just went a little numb. Could you help me up?"

Zhong Yanli's thoughts were very simple: she just wanted to use her looks to hook up with a man so she could survive.

Zhong Yanli originally thought that since she had shown such weakness, the man in front of her would definitely take the initiative to help her up.

She just didn't expect that Mu Youcai would not only not help her up, but would instead walk to the side, pick up a tree branch about the thickness of a forearm, and hand it to Zhong Yanli.

“Madam, men and women should not touch each other. I am just a rude refugee. It would be bad for your reputation if I directly helped you up. It would be better if you held onto a stick.”

Zhong Yanli glanced at the clueless Mu Youcai with a mixture of disdain and admiration.

"Alright, then thank you for your hard work, Brother Mu."

By the way, Brother Mu, you don't need to call me "Madam" or "Madam". My name is Zhong Yanli. You can call me Li'er, Yanli, or Sister Zhong...

Mu Youcai: "…………"

“Miss Zhong, let’s hurry up and go. The villagers are still waiting for me outside. I’m very busy…”

Before Zhong Yanli could react, Mu Youcai grabbed the wooden stick and started walking out. Zhong Yanli, who was holding the other end of the stick, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

She steadied herself and gave Mu Youcai a resentful look. Seeing how oblivious Mu Youcai was to her feelings, Zhong Yanli stopped wasting her expression and focused on following Mu Youcai's steps.

Lin Jianfei and the others waiting outside were stunned when they saw Mu Youcai "leading" a woman out.

Mu Youcai quickly explained Zhong Yanli's situation to everyone. Although Lin Jianfei felt it was a bit inappropriate, he didn't say anything.

The other villagers were still waiting at the foot of the mountain. Ning Bao had already met up with his family at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Jianfei didn't delay and immediately led everyone down the mountain.

All the way, Zhong Yanli kept calling Mu Youcai "Brother Mu" and followed closely behind him. Shen Junshan, who had seen the ups and downs of the inner quarters, frowned as he looked at Zhong Yanli.

Although the woman's face was smeared with dirt, she had a very good figure, and he felt she looked somewhat familiar...

The village chief and others who were waiting at the foot of the mountain rushed over to greet Lin Jianfei and his group when they saw them return. Mu Chengrong and Mu Laidi, the siblings, also ran over to their father when they saw him.

The siblings looked at their father with some confusion when they saw the woman following behind Mu Youcai.

Before Mu Youcai could explain, Mu Chengrong looked at him and questioned him.

"Father, you didn't steal a concubine from a bandit's den, did you?"
