Chapter 116 The baby in my belly is asking us to leave quickly
The bandits were caught off guard, and by the time the officers and soldiers reacted and fought back desperately, they had suffered heavy casualties.
Boss Hu holding Su Sihai's head boosted the morale of his subordinates. For a while, the county government office was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.
The person who raises the Gu will eventually be attacked.
The bandits returned victorious, and Boss Hu happily took his men to drink and celebrate.
But before long, all the bandits were knocked down.
It was at this time that Li Mumu ordered the yamen runners, the Gu family, and the common people who had been hiding in a valley a mile away to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits.
The crowd wiped out the bandit's lair without any effort.
Liuzi looked at the bandits who were tied up and sleeping like dead pigs, and was still a little unresponsive.
What...did they do?
It seems like I didn’t do anything, but it also seems like I did something big.
Since the Gu family and fellow villagers had to assist the yamen runners in sending the bandits to the yamen, the next thing would be easy to handle anyway. With grandpa and uncles around, nothing would go wrong. So Li Mumu planned to go back to the village first to report safety to his family.
"Okay, who among you will accompany Mumu back?" asked Mr. Gu.
"I'll go." Gu Mingtang stood up.
Xie Xun said calmly, "I'd better go back. My chest hurts so much, I think the poison is about to take effect. If the bandits wake up and struggle, Uncle Gu can help them."
Gu Mingtang looked at Xie Xun and asked worriedly, "Then if the poison takes effect, can you still protect Mumu?"
Old Master Gu frowned. His son was okay when he was fighting, but why was he so stupid now?
Without waiting for Old Man Gu to speak, Xie Xun grabbed Li Mumu's arm and said, "If the bandits aren't something to be feared, how much less so the others?"
Gu Mingtang watched Xie Xun carry Li Mumu onto the horse, and then the two of them rode away, disappearing from sight little by little.
"Dad, what does this kid mean?" Gu Mingtang realized belatedly, "We agreed before that Mumu and Yu'er would be a couple."
Old Master Gu slapped his son on the back of the head very hard. The pain made Gu Mingtang take a deep breath, then turned around and looked at his grandfather with grievance.
"Who told you that?"
"Not my wife and sister..."
Old Master Gu glared at her and said, "Mumu is so smart, it's normal for you to like her, but don't you think about whether your son is worthy of her?"
"I..." Gu Mingtang thought about his own brat, "Dad, Yu'er is your grandson. Is it okay for you to say this about your grandson?"
Old Master Gu snorted, "But Mumu is still my granddaughter. She's not worthy of me. Don't worry, even if they don't get married in the future, Mumu will take care of Yu'er."
"You said Yu'er wasn't worthy of my recognition, but Xie Xun is even less worthy. He came from nowhere, and I always feel that there's something wrong with this kid. Look at his age, he's like an old man."
"He... hehe..." Old Master Gu kicked him again, and Gu Mingtang immediately cried out for injustice.
"What's wrong with the old man? Do you look down on him?"
"Dad...that's not what I meant. You can't be unreasonable and just hit me."
"Stop talking nonsense and send the person to the yamen quickly." Old Master Gu said in a deep voice.
Many people in Dingyang County witnessed the bandit leader leading his men to kill the dog county magistrate. After all, Boss Hu was showing off Su Sihai's head in the street, which scared many people.
When Liuzi and his men sent the bandits to the yamen, he and several yamen runners became heroes who punished evil and promoted good in the eyes of the people.
"It's not me...it's..."
Liuzi wanted to tell the truth, but saw Mr. Gu shaking his head at him.
He has always admired Mr. Gu. He didn't know what he meant by that but he still did as he was told. He just felt a little guilty when he was praised.
This incident caused quite a stir. After all, the county magistrate was dead, and his subordinates quickly reported it, including the incident of Liuzi and his brothers raiding the bandit's nest.
Liuzi was a little frightened and didn't want to claim the credit, so he discussed with Old Man Gu on the way back. If he told the truth after returning to Beijing, maybe he could reduce the guilt of the Gu family.
Old Master Gu was amused by his words. "Don't bother with that. Stay out of the Gu family's affairs. You've taken great care of us along the way, and you also played a role in suppressing the bandits. Just think of it as a gift from Mumu. If you want to remember her kindness, remember her."
Liuzi thought that he would receive some money as a reward after returning to Beijing, and he planned to send it to the Gu family in the future. They were living in the north, and their lives were hard and they needed money a lot, and the reward money should have been theirs.
He didn't know that Li Mumu gave him a bright future that he never dared to hope for.
Li Mumu and Xie Xun returned to the village. Someone recognized them from afar and ran back to the Tian family to report the news.
"Are you back?" Old Madam Gu stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.
Although she knew she would win this time, she still felt worried.
"Not yet. We just arrived at the village entrance. It will take a while," said the man.
"Mom, don't worry. There are so many people here. Nothing will happen." Zhang Yi comforted her softly.
But the man who reported the news hesitated and said, "No... not many people, just... just those two children came back on horseback. No adults were seen."
"It's over, it's over. They're all dead." The man with diarrhea leaned against the wall and started crying. "I told you not to mess with the bandits. This time, you're completely gone. Why are you still standing there? Run for your life."
"Wait a moment, let's hear what those two kids have to say."
"What are you waiting for? You'll lose your head if you wait any longer. You guys wait, I'm going home to clean up."
The Li family members in the yard were also cursing, blaming the Gu family for the trouble.
"I'm so unlucky to be walking with so many people." Old Mrs. Li complained.
Lin Siyan rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, if you ask me, the stomachache before was because the baby in your belly knew something was wrong and wanted to leave."
Old Mrs. Li recalled it carefully and found that it was true.
No one died at that time.
She set her eyes on Lin Siyan's bulging belly. Could this child really be extraordinary?
"Not really." Li Yuan said calmly, "The three Gu brothers are not so skilled that they will be completely wiped out."
"What kind of skills are you? Bandits are so brutal and unreasonable."
Lin Siyan didn't want to stay here and be killed by the bandits. "Ouch, my stomach hurts, Brother Yuan, I'm afraid the child will ask us to leave again."
"Let's go, let's go. We'll leave right away." Old Mrs. Li shouted.
Li Yuan was not that superstitious, but it was a coincidence and he couldn't just die like that.
If the bandits really come back, he won't be able to protect so many people by himself.
"Grandma, Mom, we're back." Li Mumu shouted loudly.
Old Madam Li cried out, "This unlucky guy, this troublemaker!"
