Dozens of kilometers away from Lu Yunxi, the head and second-in-command of the village were looking very excited.

They had just robbed a caravan of merchants who had never traveled this route before.

Looking at the full cargo in the convoy, the two nodded secretly.

"With so many things, the third brother should no longer complain about the lack of food and clothing in the village."

"That's right. Not only do we have so much cloth, even if we only make two sets of clothes a year, it will be enough for our village to use for ten years. And all this food is made of high-quality rice and flour. Where can we buy such good rice and flour if we go to town ourselves?"

"It's just a shame! I wonder if the caravan owner has a problem with his brain, but he actually brought so many mushrooms?! These things are everywhere."

The two heads discussed it and decided to take the goods back and come out again. This time the harvest was huge, enough for them to eat and use for several years.

The two men had smiles on their faces, and they had no idea that the situation in the village had changed.

The two leaders of the stronghold discussed the plan to return that day and set out with their bandits early the next morning.

Because they had the goods, their speed was a little slower. But even though they looked disgusted by some of the goods, they did not waste any of them and transported them all back to the village.

It was already dusk when we returned to the village.

They excitedly dragged a large pile of goods into the village gate, waiting for people below to praise them, but found that after standing at the door for a long time, no one came to greet them.

The leader and second in command of the village stood there stupidly for a while, looking at each other in confusion.

Just then, a bandit passed by in a hurry.

The boss grabbed the man.

"What's going on? Why hasn't anyone come to greet us even though we've been back for so long?!"

The bandit was getting impatient, but when he heard the familiar voice, tears welled up in his eyes. He tightly grasped the hand of the big boss and glanced at the second in command beside him, shaking with excitement. "Big, big boss! And second in command! You're finally back!"

Originally, the first and second in command were somewhat dissatisfied because no one came to greet them.

Seeing the bandit trembling with excitement when he saw him, he immediately felt satisfied.

They are still the beloved bandit leader!

The second in command looked at the seemingly deserted village and asked with some confusion: "Did something big happen in the village?"

"Oh no!" The bandit suddenly remembered something and slapped his head. "Time is almost up, I have to go and perform!"

Having said that, he hurriedly said goodbye and rushed out without bothering to explain.

Only the boss who had just returned and his group were left, guarding the goods, standing there in a daze.

The bandits hurried past carts of goods, seemingly busy with something important. The first and second in command watched this scene and couldn't help but become curious.

Normally, if they had brought back so many things, everyone would have happily started the party. Why would they ignore them like that?!

The two men asked their subordinates who came back with them to put the goods into the warehouse, and then hurriedly followed the crowd to the top of the mountain.

"Isn't that the third brother's house?" The second in command looked over and saw a large group of people surrounding the house, tightly encircling the entire house.

If their house wasn't nearby, I might not be able to recognize whose house it was.

"What happened to the third brother? There are so many people gathered here. Did something happen to the third brother?" Thinking of the bandits in the mountain stronghold who suddenly became a little strange, the boss frowned.

The two looked at each other, quickened their pace, quickly squeezed through the crowd, and walked inside with all their might.

The bandits had their backs to the two men and couldn't see their faces, so they couldn't help but get annoyed: "What are you doing?! Why are you pushing?! You don't even understand the principle of first come first served...hiss! Big boss?!"

Seeing that it was the big boss and the second in command, those who had spoken harshly took a deep breath and apologized repeatedly.

The two bandit leaders snorted coldly, anxious to see how the third brother was doing, and ignored them.

However, when they squeezed into the house and saw the scene inside, they opened their eyes wide in shock -

The originally simply decorated room was now filled with flowers, a soft blanket was laid in the middle, and exquisitely carved tables and chairs were placed on it.

The two women they brought back sat on chairs, reclining sideways, watching the...performance not far away?

In front of them, the bandits came forward one by one to perform. Some performed by breaking rocks with their chests, while others sang and danced. There were all kinds of performances, and it was very lively.

Behind the two women, there were several bandits fanning them, serving them tea, and peeling fruits.

The first and second in command:? ?

Wasn't this the woman they had snatched back? Were the people in the village crazy? Why were they trying to please her so much?!

After staring at each other for a long time, they finally got angry.

"What are you doing?!" The boss yelled, wishing he could slap everyone awake. Even the boss wasn't greeted! And these people were circling around a strange woman. How could that be?!

The third boss, who had been squatting silently nearby, heard the sound, turned around and saw them, and burst into tears on the spot:

"You guys are finally back?!"

The first and second in command were immediately stunned.

The bandits around them suddenly showed a twisted expression that seemed to be both excited and fearful, and they all looked at them.

If they were not bandits, they would even feel like saviors.
