The woman came from the bandit gang, so she was practically in the same line of work and was related to the former leader. Besides, although Li Dahua's bandit den was large and powerful, they rarely harassed ordinary people, so there was no problem with her coming in.
It's rare that he brought Chu Jinjin along.
And how to rescue Chu Jiyu.
Because Li Dahua is so muddle-headed, she'll beat anyone who dares to touch her handsome man to death.
After thinking it over, I came up with the idea of women dressing as men in plays.
I don't know how well other women dressed as men would look in this era, but Chu Jinjin would definitely not be able to tell. She had long been used to wearing men's clothes for convenience during the years before the apocalypse.
When she put it on, just like the original leader and second leader at that moment, they stared in disbelief.
"This is a distant relative of mine. She has been well-read since childhood, but now her family is starving, so she had no choice but to seek refuge with Chief Li." The aunt had already prepared her story. Li Dahua's preferences were no secret, and the persona she had created for Chu Jinjin was a perfect fit.
To increase credibility, she said in a low voice with a sorrowful expression, "When will this world end? I, a decent woman, have been forced to become a bandit. A good scholar has been sold into servitude. My heart is filled with bitterness."
The bandit leader had initially thought the man had come to join the bandits and was wondering how to broach the subject. Upon hearing this, he nearly knelt down and asked, "You mean, he's willing to be the chief's man?"
The aunt nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's the idea. Actually, although Chief Li is a bit ugly and fat, he's kind-hearted."
The two leaders exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with joy; it was like a pillow being delivered just when they were about to fall asleep.
Based on their understanding of Li Dahua, they knew this would cause a very long disturbance, throwing the entire village into chaos and even threatening lives.
"How is the young master of the Chu family that you took away last time?" The aunt's eloquence was impeccable, and her approach to gathering information was particularly natural. "I didn't want to send someone here, but you can't force a relationship, right? No matter how good the young master of the Chu family is, if he doesn't want to, who knows what might happen to him one day."
The second-in-command tried to tell the truth but ran away, only to be grabbed by the first-in-command.
The chieftain rolled his eyes and coughed lightly: "That makes sense, but our chieftain is getting married to the Chu family's young master tonight. How about this, let him go warm the bed first and see if the chieftain is satisfied."
He was cautious.
One young master from the Chu family is enough. If another one happens, Li Dahua might just tear down the mountain stronghold.
"Oh, isn't this inappropriate? She's warming the bed without any official status?" The aunt looked at Chu Jinjin with embarrassment. She was dressed as a man on the outside, but she was a real woman on the inside. She could tell just by touching her without even getting into bed with her.
"Whether or not I'm given a title is up to the chieftain." The chieftain didn't want to explain anymore. They were already on his territory. He brandished his dagger, signaling Chu Jinjin to leave quickly.
Hurry up and put out the fire for Li Dahua!
Chu Jinjin nodded to the aunt without making a sound.
She could change her appearance, but not her voice. She dared not speak easily, fearing that the other person would recognize her as a woman.
Actually, either way is fine.
A warm bed is great; it gives me a perfect opportunity to get close to Li Dahua.
On the way here, she pondered repeatedly that a head-on confrontation was definitely not going to work. Against a superhuman strongman who felt no pain, none of her methods would be of much use. The only feasible option was to find an opportunity to get close.
At this moment, Li Dahua was like a child who had been deceived by adults, extremely irritable.
According to modern medical terminology, she suffered from bipolar disorder.
To others, Chu Jiyu's escape or deception would be normal, but not to her; she felt abandoned.
They smashed everything they could inside the house.
The bandits guarding the door dared not come in to persuade her. At this time, Li Dahua not only became violent and beat people, but also showed signs of not recognizing people.
Seeing the leader approaching from afar, he quickly tried to go forward to report, but was stopped by a look.
"You two wait here for now, I'll go tell the chief." The chief's current thought was simple: treat Chu Jinjin as medicine, appease Li Dahua first, and deal with her life or death, and what to do tomorrow, later.
Chu Jinjin had already noticed, and said in a low voice, "If the boss trusts me, please let me in directly."
The aunt tried to probe several times, but the two refused to say where Chu Jiyu had gone. Clearly, something had happened to him, but he should still be alive.
Most likely, he probably didn't want to be humiliated and would try to kill himself.
Listening to Li Dahua's wailing further confirmed this.
The chief didn't notice anything unusual in the voice, assuming it was normal for a scholar to speak softly. He blinked and said, "You want to go in by yourself? Our chief has had a few drinks, hmm, he's acting crazy."
Chu Jinjin said calmly, "I am not afraid."
The leader frowned: "If he drinks too much, he'll beat people up."
Chu Jinjin nodded: "I understand."
The aunt understood what Chu Jinjin wanted to do and immediately offered her help: "Big Dog, why are you talking so much? Since she has come to seek refuge, she has made all the preparations. You should step back now. If the chieftain is satisfied, she will be his wife from now on."
The leader hesitated.
Indeed, judging from Li Dahua's behavior yesterday, she was exceptionally protective of her husband.
He glanced at Chu Jinjin a few times, gritted his teeth, and said, "Be careful. The chieftain can go crazy when she's drunk. If things get really bad, just run away and wait until she sobers up."
He suddenly had a hunch that it might work.
Chu Jinjin cupped her hands in greeting, walked with her feet turned outwards, and pushed open the door to enter the house under the gaze of a group of people.
Then, close the door immediately.
The wine glass grazed her ear with such force that it was almost like a bullet.
When she saw the real person, she secretly gasped. What an iron-clad giant! She felt like she had entered a land of giants and had to look up to see him. As for his size, it was no exaggeration to say that he was a small mountain.
"You're a bad person, I'm going to beat you to death." Li Dahua was drunk and her mind was even more muddled. She trusted her husband so much, but she was deceived. She felt abandoned by the whole world, and everyone was a big bad guy. When she realized that the wine glass hadn't hit anyone, she picked up a stool and started smashing it.
Chu Jinjin: "......."
She couldn't beat him, she really couldn't beat him. The zombie king was nothing special, she knew without even lifting a finger that he was impossible to stop. With her strength, she would be injured if she touched him.
The room is so small, and we can't go outside.
This is the environment that Chu Jinjin fears most.
Chu Jinjin dodged the flying stool in a flustered manner and said softly, as if coaxing a child, "Li Dahua, if you're a good girl, I'll buy you flowers to wear, okay?"
She didn't have high hopes.
Li Dahua seemed to have been put on pause, immediately stopping. She rubbed her eyes hard, and the next moment, she burst into tears: "Husband, I thought you didn't want Dahua anymore, waaaah, I miss you so much."
Even siblings who aren't born of the same mother can still resemble each other by a third. Li Dahua, being rather dim-witted, doubled that resemblance, making them look six or seven parts alike, and she mistook her for Chu Jiyu.
My husband is back; he didn't lie to me.
Li Dahua opened her arms wide, looking aggrieved: "Husband, Dahua wants a hug."
Chu Jinjin: "......"
It seems I can't lift it.
