Chapter 94: Why do you raise so many beasts?
She smiled slightly and waved at him disapprovingly.
"If you have the time to yell at me, you might as well go and care about your brother, Old Zhu. She ran away with a murder case. If she gets caught, given your relationship, are you sure you won't be implicated?"
These words really scared Li Mao.
But after a moment's reaction, he realized that this little bitch was deliberately provoking him!
So she made a quick decision and looked at her little deer.
"Why do you have so many animals? Wasn't the one I crushed last time enough?"
After saying that, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves. Ruan Mian was quick to act and immediately shouted, "Be careful!"
The deer could understand her words and was agile. As soon as she spoke, the deer suddenly jumped sideways and successfully avoided his hidden arrow.
Where did this bastard get the hidden weapon?
Seeing that he failed to shoot the deer and turned it towards her, Ruan Mian's eyes darkened with anger and she immediately took out her dagger.
However, the next moment, a sharp arrow whizzed through from behind Ruan Mian and pierced Li Mao's arm accurately.
The pain suddenly made his face turn pale. He knelt on the ground, covering his bleeding wound and howling.
Following the sound, I saw the child Jin Sha holding a bow and arrow, walking towards Ruan Mian with a cold look in his eyes.
At this moment, several tall and mighty tribesmen were following behind him.
They were wearing animal skin clothes, and their mink hats did not cover their deep eyes, but instead made them look even more cold and fierce in this vague look.
The two men quickly restrained Li Mao, making him unable to move.
The child walked up to Ruan Mian, and when he saw the two lively little deer, his eyes suddenly softened.
"You really cured them."
There was a strange emphasis in what he said; perhaps they had their own language among themselves.
So when communicating with Ruan Mian, his Kyoto dialect was not very fluent.
But it doesn't matter.
"I promised you I'd heal them."
The child held the fawn and made a gesture on his forehead, as if to express his gratitude to her.
"My name is Bai Lun. You saved my fawn, and I will save your life in the future."
After saying that, he took off a small deer antler from his hat and handed it to Ruan Mian.
Then he looked at Li Mao again, and the gentleness in his eyes immediately disappeared.
"He wants to kill you, and he also wants to kill my little deer, so why not..."
"Mercy...Mercy..." Li Mao had a bad feeling. He had heard his cousin mention these indigenous people.
The Jinsha tribe, which originated in Longchang Mountain, has a population of over a thousand people. All of them are brave and valiant in battle, but also extremely cruel.
They make a living by fishing and hunting, have the best riding and archery skills, and also have the most cruel punishment system.
Although it is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, Kyoto's reach is not that far. If it falls into their hands, then wouldn't I be...
Just thinking of this, Li Mao ignored the pain and shamelessly asked Ruan Mian for help.
"Madam Ruan, Madam Ruan, please save me! I was so confused that I misunderstood you. Now I know it wasn't you who killed the general, and it wasn't me who made you go to the general's mansion yesterday. It was Old Zhu. Old Zhu saw that you were good-looking and wanted to offer you to the general in exchange for money."
"Madam Ruan, please save me. I know you are related to the Jinsha tribe. I didn't even know that the fawn was theirs!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, with tears and snot streaming down his face.
However, Ruan Mian just smiled and repeated what he had said to him exactly as it was.
"Master Li, it's true... the world is unpredictable."
Bai Lun couldn't bear to hear him howling, so he knocked him unconscious with a punch.
He was dragged to a nearby tent.
He also took Ruan Mian with him.
They have their base deep in the forest, and no one knows where their real home is in Longchang Mountain.
There were several tents in the stronghold, and a bonfire was burning in the middle.
Li Mao was tied to a tree and could not move.
Then Bai Lun smiled and personally melted a basin of ice water in a ceramic basin and handed it to Ruan Mian.
His smile looks really evil.
Ruan Mian understood what was going on and decisively took the pottery basin and poured the freezing cold water at Li Mao.
He was suddenly awakened by the biting cold and the pricking pain in his wounds.
Li Mao took a deep breath and shivered in the cold wind, as if he was about to freeze.
The next moment, Bai Lun drew his bow and aimed at him!
Li Mao was so scared that he wet his pants on the spot.
"Please… please spare my life, Madam Ruan, Madam Ruan, please save me! I will never dare to do it again, never again. I swear!"
But before he could finish his words, the arrow flew towards him at an extremely fast speed!
However, the arrow did not hit him, but was deliberately shot a little off the target and firmly stuck in the top of his head.
But he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't even care about the pain.
Before anyone could react, another arrow came flying towards them!
It was nailed to the tree trunk next to his abdomen.
The water on his body condensed into ice, and the air he exhaled became colder and colder.
While he was speechless, he shot several arrows one after another, and Li Mao fainted again after a while.
I don’t know if he fainted from the pain or from fear.
"It's really boring, let's do it again." Little Bai Lun was just getting in the mood, and he asked his tribesmen to pour ice water on him. After seeing that it didn't wake him up, he grabbed the arrow without hesitation and stabbed it hard into Li Mao's leg.
The sharp pain instantly woke Li Mao up again.
This time he didn't shoot arrows, but directly took the arrows and stabbed him deeply and shallowly.
Li Mao's screams could be heard throughout the forest.
There was no emotion in Ruan Mian's eyes. Only when he looked at Xiao Bailun did he deliberately search his mind for relevant memories.
In the original book, the Jinsha clan was not mentioned at all, at most it was just mentioned in passing.
Ruiger is about the same age as him, but he is obviously still a clever child. However, despite his young age, he is so cruel that ordinary people would probably be scared if they saw him.
But Ruan Mian felt that this was an opportunity for him.
He is a native of this land and a local tyrant.
She raised the corners of her lips slightly, and at this moment a voice came over.
"Lord Bai Lun! Lord Bai Lun! I hope Lord Bai Lun will show mercy and let my cousin go!" Ruan Mian heard the voice and looked over, only to see a man in police uniform running towards him, panting heavily.
At this moment, Li Mao had completely fainted. Ruan Mian saw Bai Lun's face change slightly and put down his bow and arrow.
Just as I was guessing about their relationship, Bai Lun suddenly spoke.
"Is this man your cousin?"
The man half-knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "That's right, my cousin is new here and offended you, sir. I hope you will spare my cousin's life because I saved yours."
"If he can pull through today, that would be great. If he can't, that's his fate."
The man kowtowed sincerely. Only then did Ruan Mian realize that Li Mao’s confidants were not limited to the general.
This officer was his cousin.
