Chapter 91 Boss Ye is a good person
At Tu Ban's command, the bandits behind him rushed towards Fan Xiaoxiao and her group with their weapons.
Seeing that the other party had made a move, Master Lu patted Xiaoyu and said, "Child, you teach her how to do it. Grandpa, go in and activate the mechanism."
A trap formation? What kind of trap formation?
Xiaoyu nodded, then produced a torch from somewhere, lit it, and placed it between the two of them. She glanced at Fan Xiaoxiao, who was still in a daze, and pulled her aside with a hint of disdain: "Don't just stand there!"
Fan Xiaoxiao finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly grabbed the firecrackers from the bamboo basket. But when she saw the menacing crowd approaching, her hands trembled uncontrollably. This was murder!
The crowd was getting closer and closer, with several people only a few steps away. Three steps, two steps... Suddenly, Ye Niangzi moved swiftly, her movements as elusive as a ghost as she weaved through the crowd. Her silver hair lashed out, splattering blood like a flower of evil blooming on the battlefield.
This scene shocked Fan Xiaoxiao. This was not her former world; the peace of her previous world was gone. The tranquil and peaceful life she had known had been slowly drifting further and further away since she arrived in this world, and now it had completely collapsed.
Xiao Yu took a firecracker from the bamboo basket, lit it quickly and accurately, and threw it towards the crowd.
The firecracker landed with a loud "bang," instantly tearing the skin and flesh of the men's legs and feet, causing them to fall to the ground howling in pain. She turned back and shouted to Fan Xiaoxiao, "See! Do it like this! Throw it at their feet! Just make sure it injures them!"
Fan Xiaoxiao nodded blankly, mechanically taking firecrackers from the bamboo basket. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene of Ah Xiang and Ah Lan's deaths, and her hand trembled slightly. Seeing her pathetic state, Xiaoyu slapped her hand: "What are you doing! Do you want that blind woman to fight alone! Don't you want to go home!"
Go home? Fan Xiaoxiao shuddered, then thought of her mother, Xiaobao, Aunt Wang, and Uncle Wang. Yes, she had a home here. Go home, yes, she wanted to go home! Her family was waiting for her!
Thinking of this, Fan Xiaoxiao made up her mind: today it's either you die or I live! She picked up a firecracker, and imitating Xiaoyu, lit it and threw it out.
With the added boost of the firecrackers, the bandits at the front quickly became wary, and those behind moved forward to drag the wounded away. But the firecrackers on this side continued unabated, coupled with a blind woman whose movements were unpredictable and who could kill without a trace. The two sides were almost evenly matched, but this situation did not last long, only a short while later.
"Click"
Fan Xiaoxiao's hand bumped the bottom of the bamboo basket. When she looked down, all the color drained from her face instantly.
The firecrackers are almost gone! Xiaoyu's side only has a few left! But the bandits in front of us still have quite a few left!
"Xiaoyu! Firecrackers..."
“嚁嚁嚁”
A strange whistle echoed from the cave, interrupting Fan Xiaoxiao's words. Xiaoyu's face lit up with joy. She grabbed the firecrackers and stuffed them into Fan Xiaoxiao's arms, then quickly picked up the torch. Pulling Fan Xiaoxiao along, she retreated, saying, "Quickly call that blind woman back! Grandpa's about to activate the mechanism!"
Fan Xiaoxiao was startled, not having time to ponder what the mechanism she was referring to was. Her eyes frantically searched for Lady Ye's figure in the crowd, and she repeatedly called out the other's name while cupping her hand to her mouth: "Lady Ye!!! Come back!!"
Unfortunately, her voice was completely inconspicuous amidst the chaos on the other side. Soon, the bandits on the other side realized they seemed to be running low on firecrackers. The bandits at the front beamed with joy and shouted, "Brothers! They're almost out of those! Charge!"
Xiao Yu, who was dragging Fan Xiaoxiao inside, suddenly stopped. She looked up and muttered to herself, "This is about right." Then she said to Fan Xiaoxiao, "Keep stopping them! If that blind woman doesn't come back soon, it will be too late."
After saying that, she took out a whistle from her pocket, put it to her lips, and blew it. Fan Xiaoxiao, seeing the people rushing towards them, didn't dare stop, quickly lighting firecrackers and throwing them at them, shouting loudly at Lady Ye: "Damn it! Boss Ye!!! Did you hear me! Come back!!!"
"Ka"
Xiaoyu put down her whistle, and seeing that there was still no sound from Lady Ye on the other side, she bit her lip and said, "It's too late."
"!!?" Fan Xiaoxiao was stunned. Just as she was about to ask her what was too late, she heard a sound coming from the stone wall above her. The sound was earth-shattering, and she felt the ground beneath her feet tremble slightly.
But when she looked up, she couldn't see anything, because above her head was a huge, protruding rock. Meanwhile, the bandits on the opposite side seemed to have seen something terrifying; their faces showed fear, and they scrambled and rolled away in panic.
Fan Xiaoxiao frowned, looking at the opposite side with some curiosity. The next moment, under a huge dark shadow, she knew what it was that terrified the river bandits!
Those were huge stones!
Seeing the boulders rolling down the cliff, Tu Ban's expression finally changed. He had thought the firecrackers earlier were just a minor incident, at most injuring a few people but not threatening their lives. But these boulders made him truly understand that Master Lu wasn't joking! He genuinely wanted everyone here dead!
"Chief! We can't stay here! We need to get to the back!" Qin Tiedan's expression changed when he saw the boulders. He grabbed Tu Ban and tried to pull them back.
But his tug didn't budge Tu Ban's mountain-like body. He turned around and saw Tu Ban's fierce eyes fixed on the brothers in front of him who had been injured by the explosion but hadn't been moved yet. Most of them were injured in their legs and feet, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the huge rocks fell from above.
The brothers stretched out their hands and howled as if crying for help, their faces filled with visible terror and despair. These were their brothers who had risked their lives alongside them! Qin Tiedan's facial muscles twitched. He gritted his teeth, turned his head away, and dared not look in that direction again.
Tu Ban stared intently at those familiar faces, his anger burning from his heart to his limbs. He clenched his fists tightly, wanting nothing more than to tear that old man to pieces!
"Chief! We really can't stay here any longer!" Qin Tiedan gritted his teeth and, together with the man with the mole, pulled Tu Ban back.
With a deafening crash, the boulder landed, silencing all the howling. Only plumes of dust rose, obscuring the hellish scene before them.
Fan Xiaoxiao collapsed to the ground, only then realizing she was covered in cold sweat, as if she had been pulled out of water. Her voice was hoarse, and the last firecracker in her hand rolled to the side. She could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes.
"Where's Boss Ye? Dead?" Fan Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head. No, impossible. Boss Ye is incredibly strong. Isn't she ruthless? Isn't she as good as chopping vegetables? How could she possibly be dead?!
Actually, thinking about it carefully, Boss Ye isn't a bad person. Although the dagger cost money, and although she killed people like chopping vegetables, she had saved him and given him the dagger. Moreover, in this kind of world, how can one survive if they aren't ruthless? Born into chaotic times, one is often powerless to change their fate.
As she thought about it, Fan Xiaoxiao felt a little sad.
"Hey, Boss Ye... you're a good person. Don't worry, I'll erect a monument for you when I get back!"
"Who are you calling a good person? Why erect a monument?"
