Chapter 559 Zhizhi, this is called the gift of captives
Xu Yu hadn't been home for a long time. He was eager and happy on his way home, but he was attacked as soon as he arrived at the village entrance in the dark.
Chen Jingan barely managed to grab the reins and avoid the trip rope on the road. His brow twitched violently as he listened to the horse's neighing. "I really don't understand."
"Let's just say, how deep is the hatred between you two siblings that it's worth going to such great lengths to trip you up?"
"What on earth do these little brats of yours want to do?!"
Under the clear moonlight, long and thin trip ropes extended from both sides of the road at the entrance of the village, which had long been deserted.
These seemingly disorderly tripwires are quite detailed and well hidden according to the terrain. They appear to be scattered in all directions without any order, but in fact they are full of tricks. One can guess at a glance that the revenge is not small.
Such a wicked thing could not be done by anyone else but those little bastards of the Xu family.
Xu Yu pursed his lips silently, squinting his eyes as he glanced at both sides of the road. All he could hear was Chen Jingan's exasperated howl: "I told you not to spread the news home first!"
"You told me when you'd be back. Doesn't that give them the opportunity to plot against you?!"
What’s even more infuriating is that he is innocent!
It would be fine if these little brats wanted to plot against Xu Yu, but why did they drag him into this for no reason?
He almost fell face down on the ground!
Chen Jing'an's anger was tangible. Xu Yuai snorted in reply, reined in his horse, turned around, and said slowly, "Are you blind?"
"Such an obvious trap, but you can't see it?"
Having nearly suffered an unexpected disaster, Chen Jingan gritted his teeth in anger: "Xu Yu, you should still have some moral principles in life."
"If it weren't for you..."
"After all that nonsense, are you going back?"
Xu Yu interrupted Chen Jing'an's irritation unhappily, raised his chin towards the tripwire on the ground, and said, "Wouldn't it be better if we just remove it?"
"Hurry up and cut these things off. Zhizhi is still waiting for me at home."
Xu Yu said as he dismounted. Chen Jing'an cursed and grabbed the long sword behind him: "I will never leave the village with you again."
"Xu Yu, I'm telling you, leaving the village with you is really bad luck!"
"Those little ones are trying their best to make you fall. Every time they follow you, the obstacles they encounter are hidden at your doorstep!"
Chen Jing'an said this, unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed the long knife and chopped at the tripwire.
A mocking look flashed in Xu Yu's eyes, and seeing this, he retreated quickly without even touching the ground.
Chen Jing'an looked back blankly, and before he could utter a puzzled "ah" (ah), a huge net fell from the sky and covered his head.
In an instant, the world spun around. Chen Jing'an, who was standing on the ground, screamed and the next second he was hanging on a big willow tree at the entrance of the village that was said to be a hundred years old.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Yu stood on the ground and smiled slightly.
Trapped in the net, Chen Jing'an's eyes widened. Grasping the long knife, he kicked his legs and bared his teeth at Xu Yu: "Ahhh!"
"Xu Yu, I'm going to chop you into pieces, you bastard!"
Swish!
The sound of grass rustling was heard in the wind. Xu Yu curled his lips and grabbed the reins that had been dismantled at some point. His figure suddenly flashed and he stepped into the deep grass!
“Ouch!”
"Ouch!"
"Wrong, wrong, Uncle Xu, you caught the wrong person!"
"Ah, failed again..."
There were several different screams and pleas for mercy, and after a while Xu Yu walked out of the bushes with a bunch of piglets tied to a bridle like little piglets.
Chen Jingan glared at the captured little ones from inside the net: "Well done, boys."
Xu Mingyang, who was tied to the first one, looked regretful and heartbroken, baring his teeth and saying, "Brother Chen, can't you move slower?"
"This net is for my eldest brother! Do you know how much effort we put into combining this trick of falling from the sky with the rope on the ground?"
"That's right."
Sang Yanyou, the second culprit, looked aggrieved and stiffened his neck in disbelief: "If you hadn't gotten involved, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape this trap!"
Although Chen Yun and Xu Mingxu didn't say anything, their faces were filled with the same resentment, and it was obvious that they thought the same thing.
Chen Jingan was so angry that he laughed: "A dragnet, huh?"
"You guys are quite knowledgeable in both civil and military strategy!"
"Hurry up and let him go! Do you think everyone would want to be honored like your big brother?!"
"Someone come and open the internet for me!!!"
Chen Jing'an was furious and wanted to chop the net. Xu Mingyang and others quickly rushed over and crawled to beg for mercy. It took a long time to untie the net, and then the little ones were tied up again.
This time Xu Yu changed to a rope that was more convenient to use.
Watching the rope that was supposed to be tied to Xu Yu being tied to his own hands, Sang Yanyou's face turned red with anger.
Xu Yu stretched the rope in his hand and raised his chin modestly: "Prisoners of war are not allowed to speak, or they will be silenced."
"Open the way ahead. I'm in a hurry to get home."
The captured prisoners of war lost the right to resist and could only endure the humiliation and lead the way in front.
Xu Yu glanced sideways at the depths of the grass with a half-smile on his face, and the grass, which was still swaying, instantly fell silent.
Chen Jing'an rubbed his wrist and raised an eyebrow suspiciously: "Is there still an accomplice hiding at large? Why didn't you catch him once?"
Xu Yu smiled but said nothing.
Xu Mingxu immediately stiffened his neck and retorted: "No, no accomplices!"
Chen Jingan didn't quite believe it: "Really?"
"real!"
Chen Yun's face flushed, and he said bravely, "The culprits of the alliance have been arrested and brought to justice. They are all here!"
To be able to cause such a big commotion, it is impossible that only these few people were arrested.
But it would be difficult to deal with the group of guys in the village headed by Huo Dan if they were caught.
If those guys' families find out, they'll definitely get beaten up again, which is really unnecessary.
So it would be nice to have a few people to take the blame.
These few are enough to vent one's anger.
Xu Yu waved his hand to interrupt Chen Jing'an's relentless nagging, shook the rope and urged him, "Hurry up. This is the prisoner parade, so behave yourself."
The few people who were tragically arrested and who were still shielding their accomplices lost their bravery from the previous second and instantly became eggplants hit by frost. The sadness instantly flowed like a river.
Although it was night, it was still early. In addition, the night sky was bright and many villagers who had nothing to do after dinner were chatting and enjoying their meals in the open space in front of their homes.
Someone noticed a group of guys being tied up and laughed, clapping their hands and saying, "Oh, they've been caught?"
"Hahaha, I told you your methods didn't work. Now it's okay?"
Those who heard the noise looked out and saw clearly, and they couldn't stop laughing: "A bunch of guys tried their best for half a day, but they still couldn't win."
"Hey Xu Yu, what's the point of you wearing a string like this?"
Xu Yu smiled gently and relaxedly, his brows relaxed: "The prisoners are parading around the village. If they are not tied up, I am afraid they will get away."
"This is the treatment of the defeated side. They deserve it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter became louder. The captured little ones lowered their heads, unable to bear the sight, and walked as fast as they could, wishing they could reach their doorstep in one step.
Xu Yu was deliberately causing trouble. He could have gone straight to his home, but he chased after them and walked slowly on the road.
Being watched and laughed at along the way, and having to endure Xu Yu's merciless ridicule all the time, the little ones suppressed their anger and arrived home with difficulty. When they saw the people at the door, they all looked aggrieved and looked at the people in front of the door eagerly.
Xu Mingxu said pitifully: "Sister-in-law."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Sang Zhixia stared at the string connecting the little ones, feeling indescribable. After a pause, she said curiously, "Is this a new way of playing that has only recently become popular?"
A string of people?
Before the little ones could pounce on them and cry out for complaint, Xu Yu pushed away the obstacles with his backhand, touched the ground with his toes and swung in the air, and landed in front of Sang Zhixia as lightly as a feather.
Xu Yu raised the rope that tied the baby with both hands and handed it to Sang Zhixia as if he was presenting a treasure, smiling gently and affectionately: "Zhizhi, this is called the gift of captives."
"Are you satisfied with the look?"
