You see, they didn't have anything important to do anyway, so even if they turned around and went home now, they would just be wandering around aimlessly in the streets.
Now that someone is offering benefits to us, what's wrong with waiting a little longer? We're not losing anything either way!
Seeing his third brother nod in agreement, Wu Erzhu, who had been on tenterhooks, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the fine beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead from nervousness, secretly relieved that things hadn't gone wrong.
Then, Wu Erzhu turned his gaze to the end of the road again. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Look! It looks like someone is riding a bicycle over there!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze in the direction he had indicated.
However, due to the great distance between them, even with their best efforts, they could only see a vague and indistinct human figure.
At this moment, the man called Third Brother narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a suspicious look, "Is that really the little wench you were talking about?"
To be honest, he even began to suspect that this guy in front of him was deliberately making fun of him!
After all, being so far apart, it would be difficult to tell whether the other person was a girl or a man, let alone a person or a ghost!
Standing to the side, Wu Erzhu also seemed hesitant. He didn't immediately respond to his third brother's question.
Instead, he stared intently at the approaching figure in the distance, his eyes never blinking.
Time ticked by, and finally, as the bicycle drew closer and closer, Wu Erzhu could clearly make out the rider's face and figure. He nodded heavily and exclaimed excitedly, "That's right... yes, yes, that's her, that little wench!"
They had been waiting here for an entire afternoon in anticipation of Xia Wan's arrival.
As darkness fell and night was about to descend, just when everyone was almost losing patience, she finally appeared.
The thought that if he could successfully win over Xia Wan today, he could go to Qiaoqiao's house to propose marriage and marry his beloved, filled Wu Erzhu with immense joy. He was completely immersed in a state of great happiness.
Third Brother's sharp gaze, like two bolts of lightning, was fixed directly on Xia Wan.
At that very moment, his face, which had been filled with impatience, instantly changed, as if all his negative emotions had vanished in an instant. In its place was a look of amazement.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a roguish smile, and exclaimed, "Hey! This is really an eye-opener! Erzhu has a good eye. Look at this young lady, she's so pretty and delicate, it makes my heart itch!"
After saying this, he could no longer suppress his inner impulse and rushed straight ahead like the wind.
You know, he hadn't seen such a beautiful and charming girl in a very long time.
At this moment, he was like a hungry wolf seeing a delicious lamb, his eyes shining, eager to kiss her.
Those guys who came with Third Brother, seeing how excited their eldest brother was, naturally weren't going to be outdone.
They were all eager to try, and without even saying hello, they surged out like a tide, closely following behind Third Brother.
Wu Erzhu originally wanted to give everyone a few more words of advice, but faced with this group of guys who were running away like wild horses, he could only swallow back all the words he had to say.
Everything happened so fast that he didn't have time to react at all.
In the blink of an eye, the group of people had rushed to the middle of the road and quickly formed a neat line.
Since the path was already narrow, their blocking it completely sealed off the way, making it impassable.
Xia Wan looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared in front of her from afar, and a feeling of disgust welled up in her heart.
With just one glance, she could clearly sense that these people had ill intentions and were definitely not good people.
Her beautiful eyes coldly swept over the group of people in front of her, and finally settled on Wu Erzhu, who was standing at the back of the crowd with a sly smile on his face.
Xia Wan seemed oblivious, her gaze passing directly through the group of people in front of her. She parted her lips slightly and said, "It's really not good for everyone to block my way like this. Could you please do me a favor and make way for me?"
It should be noted that she was in a fairly good mood at the moment; otherwise, given her usual temperament, she probably wouldn't have bothered to waste her breath on these people.
After all, according to the rules set by the system at the beginning, when encountering this situation, we should try to be courteous first and then resort to force.
You can only get points by taking action after a conflict breaks out.
However, she has recently made a new discovery: when she encounters people she dislikes or who are very hostile towards her, she doesn't need to waste words; she can simply teach them a lesson without affecting her points.
"Hahahaha... This little wench has some nerve, actually daring to ask us brothers to make way for her!" one of them laughed wildly.
"That's right, look at her, she's really pretty. Erzhu, you have great taste!" another person chimed in.
Wu Erzhu and a group of thugs were staring at Xia Wan with malicious intent, laughing and making no attempt to hide their true intentions.
Not only that, Wu Erzhu swaggered forward two steps and went straight to the man called Third Brother, flattering him and saying, "Of course, Third Brother, look, this is a gift I specially prepared for you. It has to be absolutely gorgeous. How could I dare to deceive my brothers!"
Upon hearing this, the third brother's face immediately lit up with a smug look. He patted Wu Erzhu's shoulder heavily, nodded with satisfaction, and laughed, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. You've done a great job this time. After the brothers have enjoyed themselves, you'll naturally get your share of the rewards, and we'll make sure you have a good time!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Erzhu nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, and hurriedly replied, "Thank you so much, Third Brother! Third Brother is so kind to his brothers! This is all thanks to Third Brother and the rest of us."
His face, which was already full of smiles, now beamed even brighter, like a blooming flower. His fawning and obsequious manner was almost unbearable to look at.
However, beneath this seemingly grateful facade, Wu Erzhu's heart was filled with deep disgust and contempt.
