Nanny Song: "Yes, General, Nanny Shen went to the area near the Mountain Spirit Temple."
Seeing that Xiao Yan's expression was not very good, she asked, "General, what happened at the Mountain Spirit Temple?"
Xiao Yan answered her absentmindedly, "It's not peaceful there lately. If a woman goes there alone, she might run into trouble."
Hearing this, Nanny Song was startled. She took a deep breath before asking Xiao Yan with a trembling voice, "Is it something... bad?"
Xiao Yan nodded.
Nanny Song was even more nervous now. She hurriedly clasped her hands together and murmured:
"God bless you, Nanny Chen, please come back safely!"
…
Xiao Yan frowned in thought, his expression looking a little complicated.
After a moment, he suddenly stood up, as if he had figured something out.
"Mammy, I'm going to the Mountain Spirit Temple to take a look."
He just left these words in a hurry and left at a brisk pace.
Nanny Song was stunned and silently watched his back as he walked away quickly, as if thinking about something.
Is the general going there in person?
She thought he would only send a few people to pick up Nanny Shen.
…
Not far from Shanling Temple.
Chen Yao was wearing plain clothes and sitting under a big tree to rest with a basket of paper money.
In my mind, the system relayed the message: "Host, that's all Nanny Song and Xiao Yan said. Xiao Yan should have already set out and is preparing to come here."
Chen Yao nodded, then squinted her eyes as she looked at the sneaky figures not far away, and said to the system, "Remember to listen for Xiao Yan's footsteps from time to time, and be sure to remind me when he is approaching."
The system was slightly embarrassed: "Host, Xiao Yan should have come here on horseback, there are no footsteps."
Chen Yao: ...
Sometimes she really couldn't complain about the fact that the system could only locate the male protagonist by the sound of footsteps.
The system sensed her helplessness and quickly made amends: "Host, let me try to see if I can hear the sound of his horse's hooves. It should be possible."
Chen Yao hummed lightly and said, "Then you give it a try."
After saying that, she looked around and found that there were not many people in this area, nor many shops and stalls. It looked a bit desolate.
She estimated in her mind how long it would take Xiao Yan to come over. If he was fast, it would take more than half an hour, and if he was slow, it would take more than an hour.
No matter how fast or slow he comes, Chen Yao needs to find a better place to stay first. Obviously, it won't work under this big tree.
Her eyes lingered on the only tea stall and wonton stall a hundred meters away, and finally decided to go to the wonton stall.
The sneaky figures not far away rubbed their hands excitedly after seeing Chen Yao stand up with the basket, and discussed: "Later, we brothers will follow this little girl first, and when we get to the alley, hehe, we will take action."
Several obscene laughs were heard, mixed with the sound of swallowing saliva, which was extremely disgusting.
Chen Yao, carrying a basket of paper money, walked calmly to the wonton stall and said to the stall owner, "Boss, give me a bowl of wontons."
The stall owner just looked up at her and said lightly, "Ten cents." Then he lowered his head to cook wontons.
The woman next to the stall owner greeted her warmly: "Please sit down and rest first, the wontons will be ready soon."
Chen Yao smiled and nodded, handed her ten cents, and then found a seat to sit down.
After Shen Yao sat down, the sneaky figures who were about to walk over here suddenly stopped.
One of the tall and thin men spoke first, and spat angrily, "Why is this little girl so hesitant?"
Another short and fat figure beside him said unhappily, "It's annoying too. Why did she have to go to that wonton stand when there are so many other places to go? Now, we have to go back and wait again."
The tall and thin man touched his chin, a gleam in his eyes, and then he whispered to the brothers around him: "How about we go over and kidnap the person right now, what do you think?"
Another man of medium build agreed enthusiastically: "I think it's feasible. We're more than that, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, this little girl looks so alluring, I don't want to wait any longer."
After he finished speaking, he swallowed hard, as if he couldn't wait to eat the prey.
Seeing their eager faces, the short and fat man reminded them in a somewhat depressing tone, "Don't forget, the wonton vendor is a skilled martial artist. No one in this area dares to cause trouble in front of his stall—"
The tall and thin man frowned and interrupted him directly: "Coward, there are only so many of us, are you afraid that we can't beat him alone?"
The short and fat man hesitated: "But..."
The man of medium build tutted his tongue, then slapped the short and fat man on the back of his head and spat, "You hesitant coward! You'll just have to watch us eat the meat later. There's no share for you."
…
Chen Yao listened to the conversation relayed by the system, and her fists gradually clenched tightly.
If she hadn't been waiting for Xiao Yan to come to her rescue, she would have lost control of herself and would have wanted to lure this group of habitual criminals into the alley and beat them up crazily.
What kind of scumbags are these?
The girls they harmed were so innocent.
However, for now, she could only suppress her anger and pretend that she heard nothing.
After today, she vowed to make them all pay the price.
