"Your father."
An old, familiar voice suddenly exploded in the bandit's ears, startling him so much that he dropped the knife from his hand.
That sound...
It really is the voice of his father, who has been dead for three years!
"While you're bullying men and women up there, your old man is in hell!!!"
The bandit leader stood there dumbfounded.
The younger brother next to him called his name softly, but there was no response.
He reached out and poked the eldest brother, but to his surprise, the eldest brother didn't even pick up the fallen knife. He ran away while calling out "Dad" and "Mom".
It was like seeing a ghost.
Second-in-command: ? ? ?
Although he didn't know what was wrong with the leader, he, as the second-in-command, still had to keep things stable.
The next second.
The second-in-command was slapped from a distance.
Second-in-command: ...
He bent down, picked up the gang leader's knife, and pointed it at the villagers: "You're lucky this time!"
After uttering those harsh words, he turned around and beckoned his underlings to leave.
Third Leader: "Second Brother, we..."
He had barely opened his mouth when he felt something slap him hard across the face, so without hesitation, he turned and left.
"This is called not feeling pain if you can't get slapped yourself."
Bai Yunqi watched the bandits leave with a smile, but when he turned around, he saw his younger sister looking at him with great admiration.
Juanjuan: "Is this how you can win without losing a single soldier?"
Bai Yunqi smiled brightly: "That's right! You have to learn to use your brain. Sometimes you don't necessarily have to draw your sword and fight people."
Juanjuan nodded, then shook her head: "You need to have the ability, so you still have to admit that Big Brother is amazing!"
Bai Yunqi scratched his head sheepishly, "It's actually not that bad."
Bai Yunqi was quite pleased with his sister's praise.
The people watched the bandits run away. Although they were a little scared of the slap that was supposed to be delivered from a distance, and were afraid that they would be slapped in return, they were still more afraid of the bandits than of the slap.
Seeing that the bandits had fled, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Bai Yunqi was about to do a good deed anonymously, wave his sleeves, and leave with his sister to continue flying.
The villagers, who had just been pitiful from being bullied by bandits, were now discussing how to drive away the young master from the capital and plunder his property.
Fortunately, some people still disagree.
Since they were able to send the young master from the capital here, it means that the young master has relatives here. Unfortunately, these relatives are quite distant.
“Our village is poor and remote, and that kid is an illegitimate child. Since he’s already been driven away, it means the family in the capital doesn’t want him anymore! Why would you, a relative who’s practically unrelated to him, take him on?”
"That's right, that's right! Throw him out, and you can skim off some profits. Then Erdan will be able to get married!"
Someone turned their gaze to the humiliated maid: "If you ask me, isn't there a ready-made wife for you?"
Juanjuan looked at the villagers who had been pitiful just moments before, but whose eyes were now gradually filled with a shrewd glint as they spoke, and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
My ears suddenly felt hot as someone covered them from behind.
Bai Yunqi never expected to see such a scene.
human nature……
[I still don't want Juanjuan to be exposed to these things so early; too much intelligence can be harmful! Unlike me, who is wise in appearance but foolish in reality, it's just fine.]
Juanjuan: ...
As expected of the eldest brother, he doesn't forget to praise himself while praising others.
However, looking at the villagers, Juanjuan sighed helplessly, which was why she didn't persuade her older brother to step forward and help.
Who knows if someone who was a good person just a moment ago might turn into a bad one the next?
"Are you leaving?" Bai Yunqi asked.
Juanjuan thought for a moment: "I'd like to take a look."
"good."
Sometimes people don't have that much courage, but when there are many people around and the words get heated, their courage increases rapidly.
Some regrettable things are done in the heat of the moment.
The boy, who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, was dragged and "thrown" out. He tried to struggle for a while, but quickly calmed down.
No matter how much he struggled, everyone here was from the same village, and he was the lamb to the slaughter. No matter how much he struggled, it was useless; he couldn't even run away.
Moreover, he was a blind cripple, a son of a concubine whom the mistress despised.
He calmly watched as the villagers ransacked his meager possessions and his maidservant defected to their side.
Juanjuan looked him over: "He seems to be thinking about what to do."
Bai Yunqi nodded, resting his chin on his hand: "Yes, but it looks terrible right now."
This time, Bai Yunqi did not ask Juanjuan if she wanted to help, but chose to take the initiative himself.
Asking Juanjuan seems like letting her make the decision, but it actually implies that I don't want to help.
Just like my mother always said, don't ask others if they want something, just buy it!
Two simple sentences of inner monologue made Juanjuan's eyes well up with tears.
I want to cry, my brother is so great!
Bai Yunqi didn't show himself; he simply helped the boy protect his property and guided him on how to get down the mountain.
Let the boy think he has encountered a deity in the mountains.
but……
As the boy knelt on the ground, kowtowing and asking which deity was he and how he should repay the favor.
Bai Yunqi: "If you want to repay me, just spend more money at Sihua Jiayaozhai in the capital when you become successful. Their food is delicious."
Juanjuan: ? ? ?
Bai Yunqi chuckled: "Sometimes you can't be a good person without leaving your name. If this kid becomes very successful in the future, it wouldn't be bad if he came to our restaurant to spend some money."
"But we can't reveal all our assets, just in case this person gets into trouble later, so we can stay out of it."
Juanjuan nodded, indicating that she had remembered.
Feeling dizzy, Juanjuan followed her older brother home, still thinking she was dreaming.
When the twins Bai Yunxing and Bai Yun'an arrived.
Then I saw my younger sister looking up at the sky, which had no stars, with a silly expression.
Bai Yunxing looked up at the sky: [A cloud, no moon, no stars, what is my little sister looking at?]
Bai Yun'an was blunt: [Are you stupid? I told you we couldn't let Gou Dan take care of the child!]
