Lin Anniang kept her eyes lowered and did not immediately agree, and the people around her did not dare to speak.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Grandma Wu seemed to know the answer. She didn't force anyone and stood up tremblingly.

However, when she turned around, a voice came from behind her: "I'll let you know if there's any news, but I'm quite busy lately and I'm not in Linjia Village, so don't get your hopes up."

Grandma Wu's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

After the carriage left, Lin Anniang looked at Lin Family Village in the distance with a puzzled expression.

She had known Wu Cuiying for several years. Although Wu Cuiying was usually lazy and cunning, she was extremely good to her own children.

However, just now, she saw Grandma Wu's daughter behind her, which was obviously not normal.

It couldn't be the work of demons or evil spirits, because no demons or evil spirits would dare to come to Linjia Village at the foot of the desolate mountain. It must be someone else.

Lin Anniang suppressed her doubts and began to survey the surrounding mountains again.

These mountains are all connected to barren mountains. Although they are not as tall as the barren mountains, they are not short either.

Those bandits used to hide on one of the mountains and roll stones down it.

When they arrived at the place they remembered, the group of men were terrified, fearing that they would experience the same danger of falling rocks again.

This time, they were noticeably quicker, leaving the narrow road in no time.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Anniang examined the situation carefully for a while, seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and then jumped out.

"You guys go first, I'll go find those bandits."

A group of men: "???"

They were trying to avoid her, but this woman from Linjia Village actually went to find her?

"Don't worry about me, you guys keep on your way, I can catch up."

After the mountain god bestowed a blessing, Lin Anniang's strength became astonishing, but it wasn't just her strength that improved.

After the golden light appeared at the mountain god temple, Lin Anniang felt that her strength had increased. Later, after being modified by the divine descent technique, she felt that when she was traveling at high speed, she could fly away instantly.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and jumped directly onto the tree, disappearing in a flash, leaving a group of men dumbfounded.

"Brother Zhong, what should we do now..."

Zhongheng waved his hand: "Let's stop here first. Leave some people here to keep watch, and the rest of you will come into the mountains with me."

He guessed that Lin Anniang probably wanted to cause trouble before the bandits could react, to let them know that the desolate mountains were not to be trifled with.

After all, there are bandits in this area, and Linjia Village will encounter them sooner or later when passing through here.

Zhongheng had thought a lot, even mentally simulating how to fight the bandits alongside An Niangzi. But when he followed the sound, he found that Lin An Niangzi had already tied up a bunch of bandits and clapped her hands afterward.

A group of men:

"Brother Zhong, you've arrived just in time." Lin Anniang tied up the last bandit leader with a rope.

"Madam An, where did you get so many ropes?" Zhongheng asked instinctively.

Lin Anniang raised an eyebrow. "These ropes belong to the bandits. They're probably up to something again, and I just happened to spot them. In that case, let's take them all!"

Zhongheng: "!!!!"

He almost knelt down.

Brother, you're the real brother! Even the government wouldn't dare to suppress bandits like this, would they?

"How was it served?" A man swallowed hard.

"Damn woman, give me your life!" Among the group of people who had fallen to the ground, someone used a special method to cut the ropes, picked up a long knife from the side, and pounced.

"Be careful!" Zhong Heng was extremely anxious and drew his own long sword.

However, he didn't even need to lift a finger. The unarmed woman kicked a nearby rock, instantly turning the hard rock into powder and blocking everyone's view.

Immediately afterwards, a figure swiftly swept past, kicking the man away, and the long sword fell to the ground.

It was only because Lin Anniang deliberately controlled her strength; otherwise, the terrifying force of kicking and shattering rocks would have directly separated this guy's head from his body.

"What a pity, I kicked this long sword in half again."

Lin Anniang looked at the weapon with immense heartache.

These will be the weapons of Linjia Village from now on. Why are they broken again?

Zhongheng: "..."

He didn't say anything.

"So what do we do next?" he swallowed hard and asked tentatively.

Lin Anniang kicked some of the bandits who were pretending to be dead and said matter-of-factly, "I will have the villagers of Linjia Village send them to the government. These people have been committing crimes here, so of course the county magistrate should teach them a lesson."

"Are you going to take them away too?"

A group of men nodded repeatedly; they wouldn't bring any bandits with them!

"What's that sound?" Lin Anniang originally wanted to leave immediately, but she heard sounds coming from the caves behind her.

She walked over step by step and kicked the large rock that was blocking the entrance to the cave.

The force of that kick shocked the group of people inside. The old, weak, women and children trembled for a long time before finally kneeling down with a thud.

"Thank you, heroine! Thank you, heroine!" Some sharp-eyed people even saw the group of bandits lying on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude.

After listening for a while, she finally understood that these people had been brought up the mountain by bandits who were going to exchange them for silver with their families.

There were also some well-dressed children, who were probably part of a group of wealthy merchants robbed by bandits.

"Wu Cuiying, what are you doing here?" Lin Anniang looked up and saw Wu Cuiying holding a rice bowl in the corner.
