Chu Jinjin asked with great curiosity, "Is this the family compound of Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold?"
She realized something was wrong when the group of middle-aged women blocked her way.
Why did they immediately assume the fat and thin people were bad guys? Based on their appearance?
It's not normal for them to know that the two are bandits from Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold. A group of women and children, no matter how brave or kind-hearted they are, would not risk their lives for a complete stranger like her.
Then they entered the village, where there wasn't a single adult man, and with the group of children, they deliberately separated her from the fat and thin brothers, clearly to rescue her.
Chu Jinjin was highly skilled and daring, so she didn't care and planned to finish eating first.
Despite her warnings, she still slipped the drug into the food.
The woman looked terrified, as if she had seen a thug.
Chu Jinjin guessed everything correctly; the rest were things she didn't know.
This is indeed the family compound of Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold. The fat and thin brothers also live here. Some time ago, a boy saw the two of them while chopping wood. As a descendant of bandits, he inherited the vigilance gene and immediately sensed something was wrong.
This greatly worried the villagers.
They knew that Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold had kidnapped a big man and had also heard rumors that they needed to be careful of the government officials recently.
But we can't just stand by and watch someone die.
All I can say is that their courage is commendable, but their intelligence is appalling.
The woman retreated step by step, and the next moment, Chu Jinjin picked her up like a chick and pulled her back, then looked outside the yard and raised her voice, "Come out."
Just like a supermarket giving away free eggs when it opens in the morning, a large group of women and children rushed in.
A skinny little boy, about seven or eight years old, squeezed through the crotches of several adults. He was so anxious that two big snot bubbles were hanging from his nose. He ran up to Chu Jinjin and threw a series of wild punches: "Bad woman, let go of my mother, let go of my mother!"
"Sister, I'm not a bad woman." Chu Jinjin felt that the little boy's snot was too scary, so she gently stepped aside to reunite the mother and son.
The two brothers, one fat and one thin, were also in the crowd.
"Who told you to save her? Why did you provoke her?" The fat man pushed his way to the front in a fit of anger and gave Chu Jinjin a solemn salute. "Third Miss Chu, please be magnanimous. If you want to hit or punish someone, please do it to us brothers. They are just ordinary people."
Chu Jinjin took out a silver needle. Although they were a group of women with only brute strength, there were too many of them, so she had to be careful. After thinking for a moment, she took out an even more intimidating dagger and said coldly, "Notify your leader to bring my father in exchange."
The fat man shook his head repeatedly, as if he had heard a hilarious joke: "Third Miss Chu, do you think that's possible?"
Chu Jinjin knew it was impossible, of course, and said calmly, "If one is impossible, what about everyone else?"
These family members are most likely just the relatives of ordinary bandits, but there are a lot of them.
If we just stand by and watch them die, these bandits will definitely panic.
The fat man's expression changed drastically. He slowly drew his weapon, gathered his strength, and shouted, "Run!"
It's too late.
Chu Jinjin followed along with this plan.
Black Hawk Mountain Stronghold had a large and powerful force, and she was worried about how to rescue them, but unexpectedly, they came to her doorstep on their own.
A group of women rushed out of the yard, but the small gate could only accommodate two people at most, and no one would be able to get out unless something unexpected happened.
Those behind shouted urgently, "Run!"
The fat man charged forward again, overestimating his abilities, but this time he was even faster. Before he could even aim the knife at the right spot, it was already in Chu Jinjin's hands.
Chu Jinjin kicked him to the ground.
This time, no mercy was shown.
The fat man clutched his leg and screamed like a pig being slaughtered; his leg was broken.
Chu Jinjin didn't know whether she was a good person or a bad person, but there were no saints in the apocalypse. Even if these women were truly innocent, she didn't mind getting her hands stained with blood as long as she could save her father.
The women now understood why the fat man had said he had provoked her. This young lady was too formidable; she was a fat man, a fat man who wasn't even afraid of a bear.
As for the skinny guy, he was trembling, but he knew his own limitations.
Chu Jinjin was truly a wolf among sheep. The best these women could do was brute force; they might be able to tear hair and throw tantrums, but against a true master, they were nothing.
Before long, they were all staggering and falling, and not one of them was standing.
Chu Jinjin didn't kill them; she merely rendered them temporarily incapacitated.
But I'm still not at ease.
"You, tie them up." Chu Jinjin was too lazy to do it, and glanced at the skinny man. "Otherwise, I'll pull down your pants and castrate you in public."
Skinny guy: "......."
The skinny guy felt like crying and wanted to shout, "Who is the real bandit?"
If torture were used, he couldn't guarantee he could survive it, but he could definitely endure it for a long time.
Pull down your pants?
In front of all those distant relatives, I'd rather be dead.
The woman who led the kidnapping was a ruthless character; she cursed loudly, "What rich young lady? Bah..."
She started stammering as she spoke, and the kind-hearted skinny man stuffed a rag into her mouth.
He was afraid that Chu Jinjin might cause some trouble.
After Chu Jinjin and the skinny man tied everyone up, she sent him back to the mountain stronghold to report the news. Turning to look at the only woman standing there, she said seriously, "Now you can cook a safe meal, right?"
I'm so hungry.
Only when we are well-fed and watered can we fight the tough battles to come.
The early spring winds were still biting.
A bonfire was lit in the courtyard. After eating and drinking her fill, Chu Jinjin warmed her hands and casually pointed to an older woman: "Tell me, what kind of person is the Black Eagle Chieftain?"
My father was a merchant who traveled the country for many years and had good relations with the bandits along the way, except for Black Eagle Mountain Village.
I only saw a few low-level henchmen from beginning to end.
However, Black Hawk Mountain Stronghold is unlike other bandits; I've never heard of them robbing or looting. They're very mysterious.
The woman perked up as if she'd seen a savior: "He's someone you can't afford to mess with!"
Chu Jinjin raised an eyebrow: "Oh, is he very good at fighting?"
“Third Miss Chu, I know you’re very capable,” the fat man said earnestly. “I advise you to release us as soon as possible and leave, lest you get yourself caught up in it.”
A child popped out of his mother's arms and shouted, "Uncle Black Hawk will come to save us!"
Chu Jinjin's gaze immediately locked onto his dirty little face, gesturing: "Uncle Black Hawk."
The woman stopped being stubborn and hugged the child tightly, pleading, "Miss, heroine, Your Majesty, Ancestor, he's still young, just a child, he doesn't understand anything."
The child struggled: "I'm not little. Uncle Black Hawk said that when I'm older, I can also be a bandit."
Chu Jinjin: "......."
“Miss Chu, all the children call our eldest brother ‘uncle.’” The fat man understood what Chu Jinjin meant and tried to twist his body to stand up—the skinny man was really ruthless, binding him tightly.
Just then, the sound of a dog barking suddenly came from afar, and Chu Jinjin swatted out the fire with her bare hands.
Realizing something, everyone looked excitedly at the vast night sky.
Only the fat man let out a long sigh.
In such a short time, the skinny guy definitely wouldn't have reached Black Hawk Stronghold; he must have encountered patrolling brothers along the way.
They're afraid there won't be enough hostages.
