Chapter 72: Taken Away by Bandits
Huo Si'en's idea was the same as the village protection captain's. Even if his granddaughter was unfortunately taken away by bandits, as long as Du Dalang was there, he believed that she would be able to come up with a good way to save her.
If she was implicated, it would be hard to say whether she would save Huo Qingxiang.
How could this idiot force herself into a dead end? Didn't she know that Du Dalang was her only hope of saving her?
In this mountain, they were completely in the dark and didn't know anything. Du Dalang was different. She could summon wolves, and with the help of the people from Huojia Village, it would be no problem for them to rescue a few people from the bandit's den.
Huo Qingxiang's parents didn't think too deeply about it. They just felt that their daughter's behavior was too unkind and not what a gentleman should do.
"Qingxiang! How did your grandfather teach you since you were a child?" Huo Sien's disappointment and grief for Huo Qingxiang were evident in his words. "A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. You caused this trouble yourself, so why did you drag Du Dalang into it? Did she provoke you?"
Huo Qingxiang's father was heartbroken: "Daughter! You really shouldn't have done that. How did Du Dalang offend you? Why did you want to kill her? How can I face the Du family in the future if you do this?"
The scarred man didn't care about that and asked Huo Qingxiang, "Who is Du Wanwan? Point her out to me."
When the captain of the village protection team saw her raise her hand and point at Du Jiang's family, a chill suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the same was true for the other members of the team.
Especially those who were injured by the last killer and were cured by Du Wanwan, they were deeply grateful and respectful to her. In their hearts, Du Dalang was an extremely capable person, not only with good medical skills, but also without airs.
Even if she is a girl, she is very sensible in her behavior and actions. She will not act recklessly or divide people into different classes. She is always polite and courteous to everyone.
What others can't think of or do, maybe she can do it. She helped the people of Huojia Village escape danger several times, but Huo Qingxiang, a brainless idiot, got herself into trouble and even got involved with her.
"That one, see it? The one leaning against the car with a crow perched on its shoulder."
Huo Qingxiang felt a morbid excitement when she thought of Du Wanwan being as unlucky as she was and being captured by bandits. If she was defiled by bandits, the Prince of Pingyang would look down on her, and Du Wanwan would not be immune to the misfortune. How could she stand with the Prince if she suffered the same misfortune as her?
If she is unlucky, Du Wanwan will also be unlucky, and everyone will be unlucky together. The prince does not belong to any of them.
Liuzhi raised his eyes and angrily scolded Huo Qingxiang: "Little bitch! Are you kidding me? That's obviously a boy, how can he be the Du Wanwan you mentioned?"
Du Jiang and Yao Meixian heard what was said here. Du Wenjun, Du Wenguan, Du Wenhuo and Du Xiuxiu stood beside Du Wanwan unconsciously to block her.
I was afraid that I would be taken away by bandits.
The old patriarch of Dujia Village led a group of young and strong men over, many of whom were the grandsons and sons of those old men and women who had been treated by Du Wanwan before.
"Wanwan girl! Don't be afraid! At worst we can fight them to the death."
The old patriarch's life was saved by Du Wanwan. Seeing that she was in trouble, he stepped forward despite his old age.
"If the people of Dujia Village and Huojia Village unite, can they still defeat these bandits?"
"That's right. We can't let anyone take people from Dujia Village away. Those bandits have no good intentions. Wanwan saved my grandmother's life. I swear to protect her until my death."
"Me too. No matter which bandit comes, we will rush over. With so many of us, we will be able to kill him."
Du Wanwan glanced at the people of Dujia Village calmly and asked softly, "It's easy to kill a bandit, but what happens after you kill him? How do you get away?"
The captain of the Huojia Village security team walked over quickly. He knew that these bandits would not let Du Wanwan off.
He had to discuss a countermeasure with Du Dalang as soon as possible and couldn't just watch her being taken away.
Seeing him coming, Du Wenjun and Du Wenguan gave up their positions. The village protection captain looked anxious: "Du Dalang! What should we do? Do you have any good ideas? If we really enter the bandit's den, it will be troublesome."
"Not necessarily." Du Wanwan said calmly, "You take the people from Huojia Village, my parents, brothers, sisters, and eldest sister and leave first. Don't go too far, find a place to rest, and be prepared for the battle."
The village protection captain was a little worried: "Are you sure?"
Du Wanwan shook her head: "We don't know yet. Just lead your men out, and wait for my little crow to notify you about the rest. Once it comes back, follow it, and it will lead you into the bandit's lair."
Yao Meixian refused and held Du Wanwan's hand, crying: "Wanwan! Can you please not go? Mom is scared."
Du Jiang, however, believed in his daughter's ability and comforted his wife: "Don't stop her. Wanwan knows how to act."
Du Hong from Dujia Village saw that Du Wanwan was going to be in trouble and laughed out loud: "Damn disaster star, now it's good, she's finally going to be taken away by the bandits."
I don't know if her voice was too loud or what, but these words were heard by Liuzhi who came to take Du Wanwan away. He took a look at Du Hong and thought she was quite pretty, and his brows lit up with joy.
"You, you who are talking, come here, come up the mountain with me." Six Fingers was afraid that Du Hong would not agree, so he waved to his brothers behind him, "Come on, pick out the pretty girls in this village and take them away. We have already taken action, so it doesn't matter if we take a few more away."
Originally, the girls in Dujia Village were all fine, but Du Hong was too talkative and attracted the attention of the bandits. At once, several women in Dujia Village jumped up and cursed.
"Du Hong! You're going to die a miserable death. Why are you spouting bullshit for no reason? What has Huojia Village's affairs got to do with you? What has Du Wanwan's affairs got to do with you?"
"Mrs. Chen! If you can't control your daughter's mouth, I will sew her up with a needle."
"You still say that others are the calamity star, but I think Du Hong is the calamity star of our village. Because of her words, the girls in our village are going to be unlucky."
Village chief Du was also angry. His granddaughter was fourteen years old. When he saw the bandits coming to arrest her, his daughter-in-law was smearing her granddaughter's face with dirt.
I hope to make myself look ugly so that the bandits won’t notice me.
But the little girl has always loved to show off. Yesterday was her birthday, and she took out her best pink jacket and put it on, and she hasn't taken it off yet.
Among the gray group of refugees, her pink dress was really eye-catching and the bandit saw it at the first sight.
He came over without saying a word and dragged the man away. Village chief Du and his family were so anxious that they fought with the bandits to snatch the man away.
Of course, they couldn't rob them, because they were all ferocious, with knives in their hands and ropes hanging around their waists. Anyone who dared to reach out would be chopped with their knives.
Village chief Du and his family were afraid and watched their granddaughter being taken away.
The old patriarch was so angry that he wanted to go fight the bandits, but was choked by Du Wanwan's words and lost his temper.
What did she say?
She said: "He who knows the current situation is a hero, while risking one's life is the act of a reckless person."
