Gu Yunshu was eating when she suddenly received a video call invitation from Wu Li.
Having made the last deal, she now has absolutely no interest in this ancient world and doesn't want to let the other party interfere with her meals.
So she hung up on the other party's call invitation, but the other party persisted and sent it again, which Gu Yunshu then slammed down again.
The next second, a wooden box was teleported over from the other side, and the box was full of beautiful jewelry.
Gu Yunshu opened the wooden box and took a look. The jewelry looked exquisite and extraordinary, far superior to ordinary gold jewelry. She was sure Qingqing would love it if she gave it to her.
She silently accepted the wooden box, and adhering to the principle of fair trade, she still sent a video call to the other party: "What's wrong?"
"Fairy, we have encountered bandits. Please have mercy and save us!" Wu Li knelt in the carriage and kept bowing to Gu Yunshu.
He didn't know how Gu Yunshu could save them, but he felt that Gu Yunshu was a mysterious and unpredictable fairy who would definitely find a way to save them if she wanted to.
Gu Yunshu: "......"
An ancient timeline from 15 minutes ago.
The Wu family's group was stopped by a group of bandits who demanded that they leave behind their carriage and all their valuables.
All of the Wu family's wealth is stored in Wu Li's system warehouse. They can abandon the grain, but they can't do without the carriages.
Madam Wu is frail and can't even endure a carriage. Without a carriage, she would probably die before reaching the capital on foot.
Therefore, Master Wu decided to get off the carriage and negotiate with the bandits, and before leaving, he asked his son to protect Madam Wu.
Wu Li stood by Madam Wu's side, watching her father talk to the group of burly bandits, her heart filled with anxiety.
This group of bandits was different from the refugees. Most of the refugees were temporary groups, and their weapons were just wooden sticks and hoes. Moreover, because they were often starving, the refugees were not a force to be reckoned with.
The bandits not only had horses, but they also carried long knives. There were at least thirty or forty of them, and Wu Da and his men couldn't possibly handle them.
"Hero, please leave us a carriage. My wife is unwell and won't be able to make it without one," Master Wu pleaded with the bandits opposite him.
The bandit leader's face turned fierce, and he said impatiently, "Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, you'll lose not only your carriage and money, but also your lives."
If he hadn't seen ten tall and sturdy guards on the other side and wanted to minimize casualties among his brothers, he would have already attacked with his knife. He wouldn't have given this old geezer a chance to speak.
Master Wu wanted to continue pleading, but this place was in the middle of nowhere, and the weather was so cold. Without a carriage to protect his wife's health, how could she possibly endure it?
The bandit leader didn't give Master Wu a chance to plead for mercy and kicked him in the chest, saying, "I told you to get out of here right now."
Wu Da, Wu Er, and the others, who had been protecting Madam Wu's carriage, were so alarmed when they saw their master spit out a mouthful of blood that their eyes turned red with rage.
"Master! How are you? You scoundrel, how dare you kick and injure me! I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing Wu Da rush over, the others couldn't hold back any longer and immediately grabbed their weapons and started fighting with the bandits on the other side.
Wu Li, who was in the carriage, was extremely anxious. He wanted to get down and help, but he also wanted to protect his frail mother.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, Wu Li finally remembered that he could ask Gu Yunshu for help, so he made a video call to Gu Yunshu, which led to the scene at the beginning.
Gu Yunshu accepted the jewelry, then, after thinking for a moment, gave Wu Li a defensive scroll:
"This is a defense scroll. Once activated, the area within one meter of you is safe and no one can hurt you. The scroll is valid for 24 hours, which is one day."
After obtaining the scroll, Wu Li tore it open as instructed by Gu Yunshu, then grabbed his longsword and charged towards the bandits without a second thought.
Mrs. Wu stood by silently shedding tears, but did not stop her son's actions.
She had long known that her son had an extraordinary destiny. Just now, he was muttering those words to himself, and then a scroll suddenly appeared in his hand. This must be a treasure bestowed by the gods.
After rushing into the crowd, Wu Li drew his sword and slashed at the arrogant bandits, killing them one by one as easily as slicing melons.
The bandits tried to fight back, but their weapons couldn't even get close to Wu Li. In no time, Wu Li took advantage of the chaos to kill about 10 bandits.
"A ghost! Run! There's a ghost!" Someone noticed Wu Li's unusual behavior and immediately trembled with fear, unable to hold the knife in their hand.
In no time, the bandits had all fled, and those who hadn't escaped were killed by Wu Li.
Because Wu Li arrived just in time, Wu Da and his group only suffered minor injuries. On the contrary, Master Wu was kicked by the bandit leader and has not yet recovered.
"Father, how are you?" Wu Li and Wu Da and several others helped Master Wu back into the carriage.
Master Wu wanted to say that he was fine, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Madam Wu rushed anxiously to him, crying out in a panic, "Master, Master, what's wrong? You can't leave me and Li'er!"
Looking at Master Wu with his eyes closed, Madam Wu grabbed Wu Li's hand: "Li'er, go and beg the gods! Go and beg the gods to save your father! If anything happens to your father, I won't be able to live either, sob sob sob."
"Mother, let me give it a try," Wu Li said with some difficulty. He could tell that the fairy didn't like him very much, and that she was only willing to help him because of the jewelry.
But for his father's life, he had to try.
Gu Yunshu had just finished eating and was lying on the sofa to digest when she received another video call invitation from Wu Li.
"What's wrong now? You still haven't dealt with those few pieces of trash?" Gu Yunshu asked impatiently. This shouldn't be the case. How come Wu Li is still so useless even with the defense scroll?
With tears in her eyes, Wu Li thanked her, "No, no, the bandits have all been driven away. Thank you, fairy, for the treasure you gave me."
Gu Yunshu waved her hand dismissively: "Yes, you're welcome. It's a fair trade between us."
Wu Li knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Fairy, my father has been attacked by bandits. Please save my father. I will do anything you ask, and I will give you all the money in my family."
As Wu Li spoke, she transferred the gold and silver jewelry stored in the system warehouse to Gu Yunshu.
"Hey, wait a minute, can you stop forcing me to buy things?" Gu Yunshu said, stopping him.
Wu Li knelt helplessly on the spot, looking extremely regrettable. But it was a pity that he had encountered Gu Yunshu, a person who had lived in the apocalypse for several years and had no idea what compassion was.
There are just too many pitiful people in this apocalypse. If she were to help everyone, would she even be able to survive? Sorry, she's not some great philanthropist.
