Chapter 6: What can a man and a woman do alone?
The bandits didn't expect that a girl would play such disgusting and dirty tricks, and they were not careful enough to let her succeed.
He immediately covered his lower body, curled up in pain, and his facial features were squeezed into a ball.
Song Lingyi didn't dare to delay and ran forward.
The bandit had a rough appearance to begin with, and after being kicked in the vitals by the girl, he looked like an evil ghost with a green face and fangs, staring fiercely at the fleeing girl.
After they had recovered from the pain, the bandits immediately chased after them.
The seemingly bulky body is now as fast as an arrow.
Just as she was about to catch up with the man, a dark figure suddenly dropped from the sky and blocked the girl's way.
Song Lingyi couldn't stop and rushed straight into Xiao Mingyi's arms.
The situation happened suddenly. She looked up in panic and then fell into the thousand-foot-deep cold pool.
When Xiao Mingyi met the girl's tearful black eyes, his heart seemed to be gently bumped by something.
The bandit looked a little flustered and bowed respectfully: "Boss, uh--"
There was a loud dull "bang" and the bandit, who was as strong as a tiger, was kicked several meters away by Xiao Mingyi and his back hit the stone pillar.
The beams of the house trembled slightly, shaking off the dust on the ground.
The bandit didn't dare to say a word, let alone fight back. He half-knelt on the ground and raised the back of his hand to wipe the taste of rust from his mouth.
Xiao Mingyi looked at him coldly, his tone calm: "Xu Er, do you know what the difference is between humans and animals?"
Xu Er looked up timidly and said nothing.
He had been under the Crown Prince's command for many years and knew how cruel the Crown Prince's methods of torture were.
This little girl was brought back to the mountain stronghold by the prince, but the prince left her in the back kitchen yard and ignored her. He thought the prince would not care, so he had evil intentions.
Xiao Mingyi looked down at him condescendingly.
"People can control their desires. Even when spring comes, they won't go around in heat like animals."
“…” Xu Er lowered his head, and the flesh on his face trembled.
Song Lingyi slowly calmed down and looked at Xiao Mingyi's back in surprise.
She originally thought that these bandits were a bunch of bad guys and no one would care even if she shouted "Help".
Unexpectedly, this bandit leader still had some principles and would stand up for her.
There was silence for two moments. Just when Song Lingyi was wondering how the bandit leader would punish Xu Er, she heard him utter two words lightly, "Get out."
"Yes." Xu Er stood up and left.
The kick just now seemed heavy, but it was actually within his tolerance.
Song Lingyi's eyes widened.
I was a little bit unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it, I felt it was reasonable.
This group of bandits were all from the same group; she was just an outsider. Besides, the village relied on plundering to survive, and they needed manpower. The bandit leader certainly didn't want to lose any of his troops.
Xiao Mingyi turned around and looked at Song Lingyi.
The flickering firelight in the distance illuminated his features, but could not reach his eyes.
"Why aren't you staying in the yard so late at night? Do you want to run away?" The man's careless voice pressed into his ears, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The girl's heart trembled for no reason and she subconsciously looked away.
If for no other reason, his aura is just too strong.
In her past life, Song Lingyi had seen many handsome men: actors, idols, and tough guys. Each was handsome in their own way, but none of them looked like the man before her. He had a fierce and imposing aura. Even without saying a word, he exuded an air of authority without anger, just like the emperor in movies and TV dramas...
No, no, how can a bandit leader be compared with the emperor?
"No." Song Lingyi denied it flatly, her voice as thin as a mosquito. "I couldn't sleep, so I just took a walk. Who knew this would happen..."
In front of Xiao Mingyi, the girl was not tactful enough. Even though she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, her words were still immature, like a tender bud emerging in early spring.
Those deep phoenix eyes were filled with weirdness and inexplicable danger, and when they fell on the girl, it was chilling.
"I advise you not to get too excited. There are many traps on Tiger Head Mountain. If you're not careful, you'll die. And there won't be anyone to collect your body."
Song Lingyi's breathing was slightly choked, and the words of rebuttal were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
It's more of a warning than a reprimand.
Xiao Mingyi turned and walked towards the main building, his steps slow and steady, as if he was touching people's hearts.
He didn't want to take action at first. After all, the situation was tense and he needed people at the right time. If he taught his soldiers a lesson for an unrelated little girl, it would inevitably make his subordinates feel disheartened.
But if we don't take action, these dirty things will happen again.
The girl would rather beg than sell herself in a brothel, which shows that she has a backbone. Since she has been brought back to the village, why force her to death?
Song Lingyi followed the man quietly, looking dazed and absent-minded. She didn't even notice when the man in front of her stopped, and bumped into the wall of flesh.
“…”
The girl held her breath, came back to her senses, and hurriedly took half a step back.
Xiao Mingyi said coldly, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Pack your things and come to the main building."
"...What are you going to the main building for?" Song Lingyi asked weakly.
The firelight in the corridor streamed across the man's sharp and deep face, which was decadent yet romantic. He said something shocking: "What can a man and a woman do alone?"
Song Lingyi widened her eyes.
I thought he was a bandit with principles, but I didn't expect that he would allow officials to set fires but not allow ordinary people to light lamps!
"Hurry up, or I'll throw you into the mountains to feed the wild beasts."
“…”
Perhaps the bandit leader gave the girl such a bad first impression that she had no doubt about the truthfulness of his words and ran back to the kitchen to pack her luggage.
On the way to the main building, the girl had a face as if she was ready to die.
After all, this bandit leader is good-looking, so I might as well give myself to him. It’s better than losing my life.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. When she finds a chance to return to the capital, she will definitely file a lawsuit in front of the emperor and wipe out this crappy cottage to vent her anger!
While she was thinking, she was already standing in front of the main building, with two red lanterns hanging under the eaves dimly lit.
In the quiet night, this two-story wooden building is like a deep sea with undercurrents, and the huge monster lurking at the bottom of the sea is about to swallow it up at any time.
Song Lingyi took a deep breath and walked into the main building.
The main hall on the first floor is quiet and silent. Unlike the dirty and smelly environment on the east and west floors, it is clean and tidy, and the air is filled with a pleasant light woody fragrance. It can be seen that the owner is a person with style.
“…”
style?
Is this something a bandit should have?
Song Lingyi rubbed her brows and controlled her wandering thoughts.
"Uncle?" she called softly.
We have to let the bandit leader know that she arrived on time and not leave her in the mountains.
After a while, the only response to the girl was silence in the room.
"Could he have fallen asleep?" she muttered.
Just as she finished speaking, there were two soft muffled sounds above her head, and the girl looked up to the second floor.
The candlelight was dim, and a tall black shadow stood silently behind the railing like a ghost.
The girl stood there, seemingly without making a sound, but in fact her soul had been gone for a while.
"What are you standing there for? Come up quickly." Xiao Mingyi said calmly.
