Chapter 215 Playing Poor and Weak
The two of them now only had four horses and some banknotes, which was much easier than before.
"Do you do this often?" Lin Zhishen asked.
Seeing her familiarity, she probably did this a lot.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It's also fun to help others. It can also accumulate virtue for yourself." Lin Baoer said sincerely, and then silently added in her heart: It can also add points.
Best of both worlds, why not do it?
"I didn't expect you to believe this." Lin Zhishen smiled.
"Don't you believe it?" Lin Baoer asked back.
Lin Zhishen looked at her steadily for a long time, "Believe it."
...
After rushing on the road for another day, one evening, Lin Zhishen said that the robbers were in front of them, and no matter who passed by, they would be robbed by them.
"Should we go around?" Lin Zhishen asked.
Lin Baoer shook her head. She stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the flat official road below. She squinted her eyes. "It will take at least 20 more miles to go around from here. I don't plan."
"Didn't you say that the shopkeeper's cousin was among the robbers? Why don't we go and meet him?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhishen smiled softly, "I knew it."
After spending a few days with her, he had figured out Lin Baoer's temper. She would never let herself suffer any loss when she met someone who caused trouble, and would even find ways to retaliate. But on the other hand, she was also very kind, just like the snake-shaped village.
After making the decision, the two went down the mountain according to the original plan. Before they walked a mile, many people appeared in the dense forest in front and behind.
Each of them was wrapped in coarse cloth, wearing a black mask, holding a long knife, and looked ferocious.
"I planted this tree, I opened this road..."
[If you want to pass by here, leave some money to buy money for the journey.]
Lin Baoer silently added the last two sentences for him, and couldn't help complaining in her heart.
What era is it now? Why are people still robbing with these two sentences? There is nothing new about them.
As originally agreed, Lin Zhishen directly threw a money bag over, "This is all the money we have, can you let us go?"
Seeing that he was so aware of the current situation, the leading man was surprised. He took the money bag and took a look. After seeing the silver inside, he smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, you know what's good."
"But..." He suddenly changed the subject and led the group straight towards them, "Is it true that your words don't count as all the money we have? We have to check it out."
Just as they were about to get closer, the short man next to the leading man suddenly stopped, looked at Lin Zhishen and Lin Baoer suspiciously, quietly took out the note in his arms, and compared it carefully.
"Brother Ao! Brother Ao!"
He stopped the leading man and whispered in his ear. Then the leading man's expression changed and his eyes became unfriendly.
Seeing their changes, Lin Baoer guessed something.
She whispered to Lin Zhishen, "I guess they recognized us."
Lin Zhishen nodded, put his right hand quietly on his waist, pulled the reins and walked forward a few steps, blocking Lin Baoer.
"You, get off."
The man named Brother Ao shouted.
When Lin Baoer got closer, she found that he had a scar that went through his entire face, but because the color had faded, it was not visible from a distance.
Lin Zhishen glanced at Lin Baoer and got off the horse.
Lin Baoer also jumped down.
After Ao Ge glanced at them, he waved to his younger brother behind him, "Search!"
A group of people rushed up and turned all kinds of things upside down.
Not only that, they also wanted to attack Lin Zhishen and Lin Baoer.
Lin Baoer was not used to them. She held a short blade in front of them with an unhappy expression, "Don't touch me!"
"Wow! This girl is quite fierce! You can't touch her? Then I will touch her!"
The robber rushed over unhappily, but before he could touch Lin Baoer, he was kicked to the ground by Lin Zhishen on the side.
"She told you not to touch her." Lin Zhishen's tone was light, with full of coldness.
"You!"
All the robbers surrounded them at once, wanting to attack angrily.
Lin Zhishen stared at them expressionlessly, not afraid at all.
"Wait."
Brother Ao stopped them, stared at Lin Zhishen and Lin Baoer and said, "Okay, stop pretending, let's get straight to the point."
"Are you the ones who robbed this big brother?"
Lin Baoer blinked and pretended to be stupid, "Who is this big brother?" Brother
Ao stared at him and said, "It's the inn you passed by before, a shopkeeper and a waiter, Hongrui Inn."
"Do you think we look like the ones who robbed a store?" Lin Baoer raised her hands innocently.
Ao Ge looked at the two horses beside them and frowned, "Don't bother with us here, a man and a woman, the woman is wearing a red and green long skirt, the man is wearing a white and brocade clothes, they are either rich or noble, who else could it be but you?!"
"Oh! My mistake, I forgot to change clothes." Lin Baoer regretted and patted her forehead, "This is the first time I do this, I didn't think of this."
Lin Zhishen looked at her helplessly.
Being ignored by the two, Ao Ge's face suddenly darkened, his eyes were fierce and fierce, and he shouted, "Where are the things?!"
The robbers around them also surrounded them, each holding up a knife, as if they would kill them at the command.
Lin Baoer rolled her eyes, pretending to be scared and pulling Lin Zhishen's sleeve, she said in a trembling voice: "Don't, don't kill us!"
"I'll tell you everything! We were forced to do it!"
"Someone couldn't stand your style of doing things and eating alone, so they deliberately let us go to the Hongrui Inn to set up a trap, confuse them and then rob them." "
As a result, after everything was over, they went back on their word. Not only did they not give us the reward they promised us in advance, they also sent people to hunt us down."
Lin Baoer lifted her sleeves aggrievedly, revealing her fair and slender wrist wrapped in gauze, "Look, this is the injury we got while escaping."
There were bloodstains under the gauze, and it was obvious that the injury was not long ago.
Lin Zhishen stared at the wound for a long time without moving his eyes away.
"My brother and I originally made a living by trading. We turned to them because we couldn't make it anymore. We never thought they would go back on their word..."
"We stole these clothes from two rich young men and women."
Brother Ao looked at them with disbelief and frowned, "Are you kidding me?!"
"Really!" Lin Baoer shouted, biting her lip, "Otherwise, with just the two of us, how could we take away so many things in the inn?! All we have now is that bag of money, because everything else was taken away by them!" "The reason I
didn't confess just now was because I was afraid that you would be angry with us because of this..."
[What I said was so sincere and without any loopholes, they should believe it, right? ]
