Su Ting quickly caught the golden melon seeds and felt the heavy feeling in her palms, and she knew that the gold was real.

"This... is a bit too much. There are many foxes in the mountains. It's not worth much!"

Su Ting didn't dare to take them all. While explaining embarrassedly, she picked among the golden melon seeds, leaving the smallest one, and stuffed the rest to Yang Suhua.

She also saw that Yang Suhua was soft-hearted and didn't know how to refuse.

Faced with the golden melon seeds stuffed into his mouth, Yang Suhua could only accept them first, then turned to look at Lin Zhongtian at a loss.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't look at me, if she is willing to give it to you, just take it."

"oh."

Yang Suhua nodded obediently, accepted the golden melon seeds, then squatted excitedly in front of the bamboo cage with Zhang Yan, carefully interacting with the three little foxes in the cage.

Seeing that the three little foxes seemed a little depressed, Zhang Yan couldn't bear it and looked up at Su Ting.

"Sister Su, can you let them out?"

"This...it's better to lock you up for a few days. The foxes in the mountains are fierce. It would be bad if they hurt you."

"Are they fierce? I think they are very well behaved. Look, they are lying there without moving..."

As Yang Suhua spoke, he carefully reached his fingers into the bamboo cage, wanting to touch the head of the little fox on the left.

At this moment, the seemingly listless little fox suddenly showed its ferocious side, opened its mouth, revealing four sharp little canine teeth, and pretended to bite her finger.

"ah!"

Yang Suhua was startled and sat back on the ground, her face pale.

The escorts and bandits around couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this scene.

Yang Suhua's face turned red. She squatted down embarrassedly, brushed the dust off her skirt, and looked at Lin Zhongtian pitifully.

Lin Zhongtian sighed, stood up and walked over, opened the bamboo cage, grabbed the little fox's neck and lifted it out.

For some reason, the little fox that was so ferocious just now became as well-behaved as a kitten that had not been weaned in Lin Zhongtian's hands.

Lin Zhongtian stroked the little fox's head a few times, and seeing it squinting its eyes with a look of enjoyment, he nodded and stuffed the little fox directly into Yang Suhua's arms. Then he did the same thing and tamed the remaining two little foxes one by one.

Yang Suhua was a little timid at first, but she soon discovered that the little fox in her arms became unusually well-behaved.

No matter how she rubbed its fur with her hands, the little fox did not resist.

Whenever she touched his head, the little fox would always use his head to push her hands away, then stick his head out from her arms and stare eagerly at Lin Zhongtian's back.

Yang Suhua was so happy petting the fox that he didn't notice these details.

But Pan Yunpeng noticed this keenly and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Brother Fu, you are really capable. I have been traveling all over the country for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen such a skill of taming an animal!"

"It's just a small path, not worth mentioning."

Lin Zhongtian stood up with a smile and handed a little fox to Zhang Yan who had been waiting for a long time.

He kept the remaining lucky one by his side, using it to kill time when he had nothing to do in the carriage.

After the transaction was completed, the convoy was about to set off. Han Shanhu also sent people to escort them all the way in the mountains and forests on both sides as agreed, and also helped the escort team drive away some threatening wild beasts.

In order to prove that the mountain village posed no threat to the escort team, Su Ting followed the escort team with a child.

Although the child is young, he behaves in an orderly manner and is very polite to others.

Lin Zhongtian asked a few questions casually and found out that he was Han Shanhu's nephew and the only surviving blood relative of the other party. He followed the escort team as a hostage to appease the Shunfeng Escort Agency.

This kind of meticulous behavior is certainly not Hanshanhu's style, it should be the work of Su Ting.

After all, the last time he passed by here, Han Shanhu had casually invited him, the chief escort, to the mountain to have a drink. He looked like a rough man who didn't understand the ways of the world and acted extremely rashly.

The escort team marched quickly for a day and a night and finally got out of the forest.

The people sent by Hanshanhu also stopped.

Only Su Ting brought Han Shanhu's nephew out of the forest and stood at the entrance of the mountain road to watch the escort team leave.

When the escort team's backs disappeared from sight, the forest behind Su Ting was already filled with shadowy figures.

A tall and thin man with a sword on his waist came to Su Ting's side, bowed respectfully, and whispered: "Miss, it's time to go back. It's been a day and a night. If you don't go back, your husband will be worried."

“…”

Su Ting glanced at him and said calmly, "Why, is he still afraid that I will leave with Shunfeng Escort Agency?"

The tall and thin man froze and said awkwardly, "You know that uncle didn't mean that, he just missed you..."

Su Ting snorted softly, touched the head of the young man next to her and said softly: "Tell him to relax. Since he helped me get revenge, then I, Su Ting, will be his person in life and his ghost in death for the rest of my life. I will never regret it."

The tall and thin man laughed awkwardly: "Miss, you should talk to your uncle yourself."

Su Ting shook her head: "No, Uncle Ma, please arrange for someone to pass this message to him for me."

The tall and thin man was slightly startled: "You are not going back now?"

Su Ting turned her head, looked at the direction where the escort team left and whispered: "No, I'm going to the county town. After you arrange the people, bring a few good fighters from the village with me."

The tall and thin man frowned and said, "But all the good fighters in the village are on the government's wanted list."

Su Ting said calmly, "It's okay. Pan Biaotou sold me a carriage, and Sister Yang gave me a dress. Add to that the jewelry in the dowry, and it's not a problem to pretend to be a young lady from a wealthy family. Uncle Ma, you won't forget your behavior at home these days in the mountains, right?"

The tall and thin man chuckled when he heard this, straightened his chest and said, "Of course not!"

Su Ting nodded, and when the tall and thin man took the order and left, she took out an exquisitely carved wooden plaque from her arms.

This was handed to her personally by Pan Yunpeng before the escort team left, saying that it might be useful in the future.

Looking at the sickle, hammer and sword carved on the wooden sign, Su Ting thought for a moment, and then carefully put the sign into her arms.

She had a feeling that this wooden sign would be the greatest opportunity for her and her bandit husband in the next ten years.

…

…

"Are you really planning to bring them into the organization?"

"Haha, although I don't like that Shanhu, Su Ting is an extraordinary woman. With her help, the village will prosper sooner or later. Instead of waiting for them to become capable before recruiting them, it is better to invest now. Besides, Brother Zhao once said that we should make more friends and fewer enemies."

"..." Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, his face full of black lines, "Did he say that?"

Pan Yunpeng thought about it and shook his head, "It shouldn't be. When Brother Zhao said this, there was a look of longing on his face. It must be the words of the deceased elders."

“…That’s right!”

Lin Zhongtian raised the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something, and stared at the blue sky outside the window in a daze.

Pan Yunpeng looked at Lin Zhongtian's face, thoughtfully.

This Brother Fu is the most mysterious person that the members of the Tongmenghui are most curious about in recent days.

Especially his background and the inexplicable trust and close relationship between him and Zhao Lihe, which puzzled the subordinates who had been following Zhao Lihe for a long time.

Since the founding of the Tongmenghui, many people have known Zhao Lihe's general whereabouts.

When did he become sworn brothers with this mysterious Brother Fu?

Pan Yunpeng was also very curious before, but now, he felt that he might have grasped some clues.

It is very likely that these two brothers had the same respected elder.

And that very reasonable and plain statement was what the elder said.

Pan Yunpeng really wanted to ask about the elder, but thinking that the elder might have passed away, he suppressed his curiosity and did not speak.

Lin Zhongtian caught a glimpse of the gossipy look on his face and laughed in his heart. No matter how he guessed, he probably couldn't have imagined that the respected elder didn't die in the past, but was in the future...
