Chapter 51 Crisis
"Okay, hurry up. I'll close the door and keep watch from a distance. Call me loudly when you're better..."
The bandit guarding the gate showed a narrow smile. He had the desire but not the courage to commit a crime. He originally wanted to eavesdrop around the wall, but then he thought, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable to listen without getting anything to eat? So he simply walked away.
Cheng Weiyao's heart tightened as she watched the minions approaching through the slits of her eyes. Fortunately, she had entered QQ Farm and had accidentally avoided the smoke. Otherwise, there would have been a big mess tonight...
At the moment when the minion was about to make a dirty move, Cheng Weiyao stretched out her foot, and the minion, caught off guard, fell flat on his face.
"Damn it, he's still not behaving even after fainting. He's having epilepsy at such a young age, right?"
He raised his head in embarrassment and looked at Cheng Weiyao who was resting against the wall, his face full of black lines. When he was about to get up, a knife was already against his throat.
Cheng Weiyao's eyes were icy. Wen Chengyun wasn't around, and the bandits guarding the door had already gone far away. Everyone in the room was stunned except for herself...
"You stinky bitch, you're trying to trick me, right? I advise you to put the knife away! If anything happens to me, I'll make sure you're in big trouble!"
The little henchman stiffened, glancing at the knife at his throat. A sinister glint flashed in his eyes. Not only had his plans been ruined, but he was also being threatened with a knife by a woman. If this got out, how would he survive in the village?!
A playful smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Weiyao's mouth. Now I am the knife and the other party is the meat. This little follower is obviously confused about his current situation... Is he sure that he will not take action?
Thinking of this, Cheng Weiyao pressed the knife in her hand down a little.
The little henchman's hair stood on end instantly. Looking at the half-smiley face before him, he wanted to slap himself twice. His sense of danger told him that this woman didn't look like a pushover, and who knew she might actually dare to attack him...
"Are you scared now? I could kill you and make it look like an accident, what do you think?"
Before the bandit could answer, he heard questions and footsteps outside the door.
"Why are you wandering around here instead of guarding the door?"
As soon as Zhang Weiguo stepped into the yard, he saw the bandit guarding the gate standing under a tree doing nothing, and his brows frowned immediately.
"Boss! The women and children in there are all asleep. I just needed to be in a hurry. I just came back, so I left for a while. I'm sure everything will be fine..."
The bandit guarding the gate chuckled and refused to admit it. Improper guarding was a much less serious crime than intentional self-seeking. The boss always abided by the rules, and he couldn't let anyone catch him.
"Oh no!" Cheng Weiyao thought to herself that this bandit leader's martial arts skills were extraordinary. If ordinary bandits were smart, they could still deal with him, but in front of this leader, they would be completely abused.
The little henchman seized the opportunity, took control, and broke free from Cheng Weiyao's threat. He knocked her knife away, pinned her neck against the wall with his arm, covered her mouth, and whispered a threat, "You want to challenge me? Believe it or not, I'll be the first one to deal with you!"
The sound of the knife falling was somewhat obvious in the silent room, but outside the door was a yard after all, so the noise was much quieter.
Zhang Weiguo's ears twitched slightly, and his gaze shifted to the closed door of the woodshed. He seemed to hear the sound of metal falling to the ground, and combined with the unusual behavior of the bandit guarding the door...
The door to the woodshed creaked open, and a one-armed figure, standing against the light, appeared in Cheng Weiyao's somewhat dazed eyes. She felt the force pressing against her throat weaken, and her breathing became much smoother...
“Ahem…”
Having lost her potential as a minion, she collapsed along the wall and watched Zhang Weiguo grab the minion's back.
"I've already told you to take care of your own things. Are you ignoring my words?"
Zhang Weiguo's face was grim, and the veins on his hand that was holding the little minion were bulging. He glanced at Cheng Weiyao out of the corner of his eye. Fortunately, he had grown up with caution, otherwise he would have almost made a big mistake...
"Boss, I was also obsessed with sex for a moment, I don't dare to do it anymore..."
The little minions knew they were in the wrong and immediately lost their momentum. They behaved like chickens under Zhang Weiguo's command.
"You don't dare. I think you're very brave. You don't even listen to me? Sooner or later, you'll be obsessed with lust and kill yourself..."
Zhang Weiguo kept muttering harshly and dragged the man out without even looking at the knife that fell on the ground.
"Boss, Ma Zi didn't do it on purpose. You know that's just his nature..."
The bandit guarding the gate wanted to help and plead for mercy, but he ended up getting a glare and a scolding.
"You're not a good person either, stop covering for each other, get out of here, I'll guard it myself!
Zhang Weiguo's voice was loud and resounding, but Cheng Weiyao actually felt relieved. This leader seemed different from ordinary bandits. With him around, at least she could get a good night's sleep...
"you……"
A milky voice with a strong nasal tone came from behind. Cheng Weiyao turned around and found that the little girl she had rescued during the landslide had woken up.
"Shh, go to sleep. Everything is fine now. Don't tell your family so they don't worry."
Cheng Weiyao made a hushing gesture, squatted down inconspicuously to coax her, and with her hands behind her back, she quietly put away the knife.
Children's breathing is shallow and their nasal congestion causes them to inhale less. Waking up was really an accident. The crisis has been resolved and she does not want to cause unnecessary panic.
After coaxing the little girl to sleep, Cheng Wei Yao was about to have a good rest, but suddenly she heard faint conversations coming from the yard. She tiptoed to the window.
"The time is ripe to take action..."
Wen Chengyun stood with his hands behind his back. He caught a glimpse of a streak of black hair by the window of the woodshed and lowered his voice a lot.
Although he was not in the woodshed, he was in the backyard and was always paying attention to the movements in the woodshed.
"Okay, what just happened was due to my mismanagement. Does the princess need me to explain a few things?"
Zhang Weiguo obviously noticed Cheng Weiyao and spoke hesitantly. He said that his hand had been disabled since he left the battlefield and he thought he could return home in glory.
Unexpectedly, all the post-war pensions were swallowed up by the corrupt officials in the court. Comrades died or were injured. They wanted to defend their country with all their heart, but those who survived with great difficulty experienced the fickleness of human nature.
If the prince hadn't saved him from being beaten to death by the powerful and unable to sue, he would have gone to see his comrades by now...
But what about me? Because of a moment of negligence, I almost killed the princess!
"No, just act normally. I'll take care of her."
Wen Chengyun shifted his gaze away from the window. He didn't care if Cheng Weiyao became suspicious.
Essentially, everyone is smart, each with their own goals and agenda. As long as they're not enemies...
