Chapter 568 Extra: Xie Zhili Injured
"Did you three go out to scavenge for scraps?" Just after scolding Xie Zhichu, Lin Wenqian, Lin Wenjin, and Yang Xiaofeng also came out of the woods.
Seeing the bulging things they were carrying, Lin Luoxi rolled her eyes at the three of them, knowing full well what she was asking.
"hey-hey…"
"Second sister, there are constant natural disasters today. That emperor has emptied our pockets of all our money. We are now cleaner than our faces."
"If we don't pick up some bargains, the kids in the family will probably starve."
Seeing Lin Luoxi's teasing look, Lin Wenqian started to play the victim.
There's nothing shameful about looting; the key point is that the bandit stronghold was captured by my nephews, and they only knew how to follow behind in a rudimentary manner, which is somewhat dishonorable.
"Alright, the matter is settled. Shall we go back to sleep or set off immediately?"
Lin Luoxi never expected that her older brother, Lin Wenqian, would one day play the victim.
But she didn't believe Lin Wenqian was penniless. She had given him quite a few estates and shops scattered throughout the Chiyan Dynasty. Even in the event of a natural disaster, he wouldn't be starving as he claimed.
Looking east, it was still pitch black, but considering how many people had just died in the woods, I guessed no one could sleep.
"Let's set off!" Lin Wenqian still felt a chill when he thought about all the corpses they saw on their way back.
The air was thick with the stench of blood; he would never want to live here again.
"Mother, let's set off. Judging by the time, it should be almost dawn." Xie Zhichu's eyes darted around, but she secretly hoped that they might encounter bandits who would deliver money or even their lives to them on the road.
"Let's dispose of those bandits' bodies first, otherwise the surrounding villagers will be terrified if they see them."
Lin Luoxi felt that leaving the bandits' corpses lying around was not a good idea; they would easily rot and breed various diseases.
"Alright then!"
They thought they were leaving, but to their surprise, they still had to deal with the body. Lin Wenqian, Lin Wenjin, and Yang Xiaofeng resignedly put the money in their tent and turned to go back into the woods.
Lin Luoxi piled the bandits' corpses together, took out some fuel, poured it on top, and lit it to burn.
Only after all the corpses had been burned to ashes did everyone leave the forest and head towards Green Mountain City.
When we passed through small towns, no one suggested we go in to rest or have something to eat.
The smell of burnt flesh from the cremation of corpses lingered in their minds, and now they didn't want to eat; they just wanted to get back to their hometown as soon as possible.
"Zhili, how about we be included? If there's any good stuff, just let us pick up the scraps, like last time..."
Lin Wenqian looked at the hundred or so bandits standing in front of the carriage, each holding a weapon and shouting that they wanted to rob it, and began to discuss with Xie Zhili.
When Xie Zhichu saw these bandits, his eyes widened in disbelief.
It wasn't that I was still afraid, but rather excited, and even more so, grateful.
Thank God, it must be that God heard his heart's desire that these bandits appeared on their inevitable route.
"Um, Uncle, actually, the five of us siblings are enough." Xie Zhili saw the glint of money in Lin Wenqian's eyes and hesitated...
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over all your valuables, or your lives will be in danger."
The bandit leader, Du Yan, a rough and uncouth man, not only disregarded the group of men on horseback, but also discussed how to deal with them right in front of them, which was extremely insulting.
Feeling that his dignity had been challenged, he brandished his meteor hammer, aiming it at Xie Zhili and the others.
"Hmph, if you want what we had before, then come and take it yourself!"
Upon hearing the arrogant shouts of the other party, Xie Zhili immediately stopped talking, raised his sword, and charged towards the bandit leader Du Yan on horseback.
"Big brother, wait for me..." Xie Zhichu saw that Xie Zhili had already rushed out, and not wanting to fall behind, he raised his weapon and rushed out as well.
"You guys have really gone too far. You didn't even agree to attack together."
Xie Leyao, Xie Zhiyan, and Xie Zhiheng saw Xie Zhili and Xie Zhichu rush out without saying a word, and not wanting to be left behind, they followed suit.
"Wenqian, we need to go help!"
Seeing Xie Zhili and the others rush out, Lin Wenjin rode his horse to Lin Wenqian's side and asked.
"Of course! If we don't help now, we'll be too embarrassed to ask the kids to share the spoils with us later!"
Yang Xiaofeng, who followed behind, heard Lin Wenjin's words and dropped this sentence. He also picked up his soft whip and charged into the bandit group, starting to kill everyone in sight.
"That kid has no sportsmanship at all." Lin Wenqian winked at Lin Wenjin when he saw Yang Xiaofeng rush in, and the two of them rushed over as well.
After fighting Xie Zhili, the bandit leader Du Yan finally understood why the other party could ignore him; it turned out that Xie Zhili was relying on his own strength.
However, he was no slouch either; in just a few breaths, he exchanged over a hundred blows with Xie Zhili.
"Wife, I've discovered that the gene for loving money is contagious." Sitting in the carriage, enjoying a moment of leisure, Xie Hanchuan looked through the curtain at Xie Zhili and the others outside, who were fighting with increasing vigor, and said with a smile.
"They're earning pocket money for themselves, why don't you go?" Lying on the fox fur blanket, propping her head up with her hand, she lazily looked at the battlefield ahead and teased.
"Hmm, I'm not going. Who told me I have the richest wife in the world? Even what she dangles from under her fingernails is more than enough for me..."
Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Xie Hanchuan immediately fawned over her and began massaging her legs and shoulders.
"Hey, get out of the way, I want to watch more..."
"How dare you!"
Xie Hanchuan reached out and blocked Lin Luoxi's view. As Lin Luoxi was pulling Xie Hanchuan's hand away, she saw Xie Zhili injured, and the bandit leader Du Yan was raising a hammer to smash Xie Zhili's forehead.
Startled, Lin Luoxi's expression changed, and she flew over at top speed.
He kicked away the bandit leader Du Yan's hammer, and before the bandit leader could react, he kicked him off his horse.
Just then, a sharp rock protruded from the ground, and when the bandit leader Du Yan slammed it down, it pierced right through his head.
Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng, Xie Zhichu, and Xie Leyao, who were fighting with other bandits, also noticed the commotion on Xie Zhili's side, but they were all entangled with the other bandits and could not spare a moment.
After seeing Lin Luoxi separate and rescue Xie Zhili, they breathed a sigh of relief and sped up their efforts to eliminate the bandits.
"Boss, are you alright!" After dealing with the bandit leader, Lin Luoxi turned around and saw the fear flash quickly in Xie Zhili's eyes. She went over and hugged Xie Zhili tightly.
