The sky gradually turned a pale white.
Wang Zhenshan found a cave to hide in temporarily.
The third child's fever subsided, and he slowly woke up at dawn.
"Boss... I... I'm not dead yet." The third brother found Wang Zhenshan, Big Beard, and his two other brothers, Hu Zi and Gua Piao, sitting around him. He smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I won't allow you to die, and even the King of Hell won't take you with him."
Wang Zhenshan was bragging in a serious tone.
Bai Qianmo sat alone in a corner. The cave was a bit damp, and she was dressed in thin clothes, without any pajamas at all that night.
The bearded man glanced at Bai Qianmo, then suddenly remembered something.
"Third brother, how does your arm feel?"
"I haven't felt anything for a long time..." The third brother suddenly stopped speaking.
He stared in astonishment at his crippled arm and suddenly burst into tears.
"Boss, my arm..."
"What's wrong with your arm? Is something bothering you?"
"No, it's... I can feel my arm again, and it actually hurts."
Wang Zhenshan was also shocked when he heard the news.
Could it be that the two blows that girl just gave the third brother actually fixed his arm?
"Third brother, do you really feel your arm again?" the bearded man asked again to confirm.
The third brother slowly moved his arm, and a sharp pain shot through him, making him gasp.
Seeing this, the bearded man understood.
"I didn't expect that witch to actually have some skills."
Wang Zhenshan gave Bai Qianmo a deep look, but said nothing.
The third brother grabbed the bearded man's sleeve: "Second Master, tell me, who healed my arm?"
"It's...that girl."
The third brother was completely stunned. His arm had been broken by this girl, and he never expected that it would be this girl who would eventually set it back on.
Although he was overjoyed to have his arm back at that moment.
But thinking about the suffering he had endured, the third brother gritted his teeth.
"Don't think I'll be grateful to you just because you set my arm. Humph, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered like this."
Bai Qianmo toyed with a wooden stick in her hand, then plunged the wooden cabinet into the fire, stirring up a string of sparks. The firelight reflected off her face, making it flicker.
"This arm you've been given is only temporary. If I see you bullying women and children again, next time it will be your head that will be replaced."
Upon meeting Bai Qianmo's gaze, the third brother immediately felt a cold wind blow down the back of his neck.
"It's dawn, let's continue our journey."
The brothers packed up quickly and prepared to set off.
Bai Qianmo stood up and dusted herself off.
"Now that you are out of danger, it's time for us to go our separate ways."
Wang Zhenshan frowned: "You're leaving?"
"Otherwise what? Do you really expect me to follow you up the mountain and become a bandit?"
Guapiao teased, "At most, you can only be a bandit's wife."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a slap on the head.
Guapiao pouted and looked pitifully at Wang Zhenshan.
"Boss, I was just joking."
Wang Zhenshan ignored the melon ladle and stared directly at Bai Qianmo.
"You've been held hostage by us all night. Do you know what will happen to you when you return to the Xu family?"
He thought about it all night but couldn't figure out why this girl was willing to stay and be his hostage.
Even if a young girl in the prime of her life is innocent, no one will believe that she was kidnapped by several bandits for a day and a night.
Bai Qianmo stood at the cave entrance, squinting as she watched the sun gradually rise in the east.
"You don't need to worry about that. You should take care of yourselves first."
"Come with us. Instead of being ignored in the Xu family, wouldn't it be better to find a carefree and happy place to live? Wouldn't that be more comfortable?"
"I appreciate your kind offer, but I will not be leaving Shanghai."
She came to this magical city in this time and space for no apparent reason; there must be some reason.
Perhaps it's a kind of magnetic resonance, so if you want to leave here, you ultimately have to leave through Shanghai.
Wang Zhenshan was unaware of Bai Qianmo's thoughts and assumed that she looked down on him.
"Hmph, although I'm a bandit, I'm a man of integrity with many brothers under my command. Even Qin Ergou wouldn't dare to trespass on my territory."
Tiger chimed in, "My boss is the local tyrant of our mountain. If you follow him, you'll live a life of luxury for the rest of your days. I heard that the Xu family sent you to the countryside when you were young. To be honest, if you go back to the Xu family now, you might not even be as good as one of their respectable servants. Why should you suffer such hardship and live under someone else's roof?"
"That's right, as the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If you come back to our mountain stronghold with us, you'll definitely be the first lady of our stronghold!"
The men began to coax and deceive them.
Bai Qianmo gave a dismissive smile.
"Unfortunately, I don't like being the head of a chicken, nor the tail of a phoenix."
"Xu Jin'en, I will not let you go." Wang Zhenshan's voice was deep and domineering.
"With just a few defeated soldiers like you?"
"Witch, don't look down on us. Even if we're seriously injured, we're still enough to deal with you," the third brother said viciously.
Actually, he really didn't want this woman to go up the mountain.
However, the eldest brother had clearly developed feelings for this woman, and for the sake of his brother's lifelong happiness, he could only endure it.
Bai Qianmo's gaze turned to a quiet path ahead.
"If you don't leave now, there won't be any time left."
Wang Zhenshan's heart tightened. After last night's experience, he now paid obvious attention to what Bai Qianmo said.
