Chapter 311 My brother died young. If you want to be my brother, I can help you dig a hole.
Qian frowned slightly, her face somewhat gloomy.
She had a vague feeling that these people were really heading towards their house!
"Mother..." Tang Cheng turned to look at Madam Qian!
The latter pursed his lips and glanced at the crowd behind him.
"Aren't you all scared?" she asked, looking at her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren...
"We're not afraid!" everyone said in unison.
Tang Yu stood to the side, her hands trembling slightly as she gripped the hoe.
"Duoduo, don't be afraid, I'm here!" His eyes hardened.
He was a frail scholar who had never been in good health since childhood; otherwise, he wouldn't have given up on Qian Duoduo.
He always felt that his life was coming to an end, but he never expected that his second son would die even earlier than him.
Qian didn't speak, but her eyes showed a hint of speechlessness.
With his skinny arms and legs, he's not even as good as Xiao Su Bao...
Thinking of the little dumpling, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. With Tang Qi and the little dumpling around, their Tang family would not truly be wiped out!
"Since you're not afraid, come with me to meet them!" Madam Qian had originally planned for them to hide in the mountains first, but unexpectedly…
Little Tiao was initially very unhappy because its little master hadn't brought it along today. Now, it seemed to sense the danger and climbed directly onto Qian's neck.
Qian ruthlessly threw it to the ground: "Go, at least you can live!"
After saying that, Qian grabbed a machete, and the others also looked for their own weapons.
"Let's go!" She took a deep breath, like a female general!
Behind him were his three sons, Tang Cheng, Tang Shan, and Tang Si; behind them were his grandsons; and behind that were his two daughters-in-law…
Even the youngest of them, Tang Sanbao, was holding a small hoe in his hand.
Tang Yu wanted to stand at the front, but everyone left her at the back, euphemistically called "sweeping the back"...
The people outside continued banging on the door, and some even started swearing.
Just as they were threatening to storm in, Qian suddenly opened the door.
The man rushed in unexpectedly, and looked like he was about to fall into Qian's arms.
Madam Qian grabbed his wrist and tossed him to her eldest son...
Here comes the hostage!
"You old hag, are you crazy? How dare you touch me..." The man was furious and became even angrier when he couldn't break free.
Qian didn't even glance at him, but instead turned her head and looked into the crowd.
The next moment, she frowned...
It has to be said, sometimes it really is a coincidence...
She looked at one of them, her brows furrowed!
This person was from her father's bandit gang; he was her suitor back then, and also her good-for-nothing senior brother...
But my senior brother used to be so good-looking!
Now……
Ms. Qian rubbed her eyes, pretending not to have seen anything.
If her father hadn't disappeared back then, and she hadn't been sold off by the second-in-command of the bandits in their village, maybe the two of them...
Ms. Qian shook her head, no longer thinking about those things.
She was about to speak when her pupils contracted and her expression changed drastically.
Two bandits were seen carrying a girl out.
"Waaah... Help... Grandma Qian, help me..." Su Daya's face was deathly pale, and her body was trembling.
She still didn't understand what was happening. She had just gone to pick vegetables in the garden behind her house when she was suddenly grabbed by someone.
Tang Cheng's expression changed slightly. He had already instructed Tang Dabao and the others to inform every household not to go out...
"She's just a child, release her!" Tang Cheng stepped forward, his face extremely grim.
The third senior brother raised an eyebrow at Tang Cheng, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "You think you can just release him like that? Kid, are you really stupid or just pretending?"
Ms. Qian pulled her son away, preventing him from continuing to speak.
The third senior brother has mental problems; we shouldn't mess with him.
"Tell me your purpose. You can't accomplish anything great by kidnapping a little girl!" Madam Qian said calmly, with a hint of heroism in her eyes.
Holding a machete, she showed no fear.
The bandit's eyes lit up when he saw Qian. Although they were bandits, they also admired those with guts...
He liked this woman at first sight, wanted to take her home, and make her his wife…
"Hehe, little sister knows how to talk. I think you're a smart woman too, so I'll tell you the truth. Someone... we've come to arrest your whole family..." The bandit leader said with a smile as he looked at Qian Shi.
Madam Qian frowned, a hint of doubt in her eyes. Who exactly wanted to arrest them...?
As she pondered, the man in the lead frowned deeply.
He was the third-in-command of this bandit group, and his gaze remained fixed on Qian's face, growing increasingly familiar with her...
If it weren't for this sense of familiarity, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking.
"If you come with me, I'll protect you, okay?" the third leader asked, looking at Madam Qian.
As Qian listened to the man speak, her brows furrowed slightly, and a strange look appeared in her eyes.
Seeing Qian's expression, the third leader smiled slightly.
"If you behave, your brother will treat you to the best of everything from now on, how about that?"
This was only the second time in his life he had fallen in love. The first time was when he was with his junior sister, and the second time was with the woman in front of him...
Madam Qian frowned even more deeply and shook her head.
“My brother died young. If you want to be my brother, I can help you dig a hole and bury you!” Madam Qian glanced at the third leader and said in a nonchalant tone.
The third leader raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qian Shi; the way she was insulting him felt familiar...
He clicked his tongue and said, "Burying us is fine too, we can be buried together..."
Qian rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything, only gripping the cleaver in her hand even tighter.
Seeing Qian's expression, the third leader's face turned cold.
He decided he still had to teach this arrogant woman a lesson; he absolutely couldn't let her end up like his missing junior sister!
He can stand up!
It definitely can!
"Alright, let me see if your words are tougher, or my knife is tougher!" He figured he could teach this woman a lesson with just a fraction of his skill.
With these thoughts in mind, he casually grabbed his broadsword and slowly walked towards Qian Shi.
Qian was not afraid at all and was the first to rush out, but was blocked by Tang Yu at this moment...
"I...I'll do it!" He's the man of the house, so he should be the first to step up!
He would protect Duoduo no matter what...
"Go play in the back, don't cause trouble, and keep an eye on your uncle!" Madam Qian said to her son.
Qian grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him behind her!
"Yes!" Tang Si and Tang Shan helped their uncle back.
Tang Yu was about to say something when Wang Xiuer couldn't help but mutter, "Uncle, please don't take the suckling pig yourself..."
"That's just asking for trouble..." Tang Yu blurted out instinctively, then immediately became furious.
"Second son's wife, what nonsense are you spouting? I..."
Tang Yu wanted to argue, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Qian rush over with a cleaver and start fighting with the third leader.
I immediately became nervous.
Qian couldn't fight multiple opponents alone, but one-on-one, especially against the person in front of him...
The third leader sensed something was wrong shortly after they started fighting...
He took a step back, dodging Qian's knife, and his previous roguish manner vanished, replaced by a serious expression as he looked at Qian.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you know the Demon Blade Technique?!" The third leader stared at Qian Shi with wide eyes.
Qian glanced at him, put away her cleaver, and stepped in front of the children.
"Who I am doesn't matter. The important thing is whether you still want to fight!" Madam Qian asked the third leader.
"No, we can't fight this, we don't know what's going on!" He stared at Qian Shi, trying hard to remember something.
Just as the third leader's expression changed slightly and he was about to speak, someone stepped forward from behind him.
The man looked at Qian Shi with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Third Brother, you should go and rest first!" The man was the fourth leader, and he usually had the best relationship with the third leader.
The third leader pursed his lips but did not leave. Instead, he continued to stare intently at Madam Qian.
For some reason, he felt that Qian was becoming more and more familiar...
“You…” He suddenly stared wide-eyed at Qian Shi.
Are we going to be recognized?
Qian paused slightly, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"Who I am is not important, what matters is what you want to do!" Madam Qian said, looking at the third leader.
The third leader, however, stared intently at Qian Shi and suddenly rushed over.
Qian frowned, and the instant he approached, she kicked him in the chest.
"Pfft... Junior sister, it's you, isn't it? You're not dead!" The third leader stared at Qian Shi, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
He ignored the pain in his chest, only regretting that he couldn't look at her more closely.
The Qian family...
He used to be good-looking and quite intelligent, but now...
Ms. Qian pursed her lips and remained silent.
Meanwhile, the fourth leader and his men were already pressing over with broadswords, seemingly intent on capturing Qian Shi!
The third leader turned to look at the others.
"Fourth brother, you can't hurt her! She's the junior sister I told you about!" The third leader stood protectively in front of Qian Shi...
Wang Xiuer's eyes widened immediately. Had she finally met her mother's legendary senior brother?
Once, while she was tidying up, she found a letter. Later, her husband told her that the letter was a love letter from her mother's former senior brother...
It seems that because of this incident, her father-in-law, whom she had never met, and her mother had a huge fight...
After that, we had our fourth child...
That's not important. What's important is...
"Senior brothers and junior sisters!" she excitedly rushed to Qian Shi...
Just as Ms. Qian was about to speak, she suddenly felt a hand on her arm...
"Second daughter-in-law, are you asking for a beating?" Madam Qian said with a dark face, turning to look at her good-for-nothing daughter-in-law.
They always cause trouble at crucial moments.
"That's not important. If Mother wants to beat him up, she can do it anytime... What's important, Mother, is this senior brother the legendary, exceptionally handsome, and top-notch martial arts senior brother Meteor?"
"Hey, how did you know me? Hehe!" Meteor immediately leaned over, looking at Wang Xiuer with excitement.
"Uh..." Wang Xiuer was stunned. Where exactly was he handsome and dashing?
Are you sure it's not a bald old man?
"Stay away from me, don't affect my son, no, don't affect my daughter's appearance!" Wang Xiuer said, shoving the third leader away.
The Qian family...
This daughter-in-law is really...
She turned to look at the third leader and saw him staring at her intently...
Madam Qian coughed lightly. Who doesn't have a few romantic encounters when they're young?
but……
"Third Senior Brother!" Madam Qian finally called out.
The third leader scratched his head, revealing a simple-minded expression.
"As expected, it's Junior Sister. How could you..." He paused, as if he had thought of something, and didn't ask any further questions.
"Fourth brother, they are all..." He was about to speak when his expression changed, and he stood in front of Madam Qian.
"Fourth brother, what do you mean by this?" The third senior brother looked at his fourth brother with a dark face.
However, the fourth leader only looked at his third brother with a cold expression in his eyes.
"Third Brother, come here obediently, and we'll still be brothers. If you remain stubborn..." The Fourth Master looked at him calmly, but gripped his broadsword tightly.
"Third Brother, please come back soon!"
"Third Master, don't let an old woman ruin the brothers' relationship... If you like her, just grab her and take her back!"
The third senior brother was completely stunned. He looked at his brothers and paused...
Didn't they come here today to take the Tang family members to the mountain?
Why does he feel like something's not right?
"Fourth brother, what exactly are you here for today?" the third leader asked, frowning.
"Naturally... the massacre of the village..." The fourth leader's voice was indifferent, his eyes revealing little emotion.
"What!" The third senior brother instantly stiffened, looking at his former brother in disbelief.
But at that moment he discovered something terrifying!
seem……
They were all happy except for themselves...
So, did they all know about the planned massacre of the village?
As if guessing what he was going to say, the fourth leader's tone was somewhat cold: "Third brother, if you come back and kill this woman with your own hands, we'll still be brothers..."
"What if I don't!" The third leader clenched his fists. He still remembered their original intention in founding the stronghold...
"Then we have no choice but to..." The fourth leader drew his broadsword and pointed it at his face, coldly saying, "I'll kill you and then pin this on you..."
The third leader's body trembled violently, and his face turned deathly pale.
"We're brothers!" The third leader gritted his teeth, his chest aching.
"There's nothing I can do. I didn't want to either, but they gave me too much..." The fourth leader showed his usual gentle smile, but the third leader could no longer feel any warmth.
When I first met Lao Si, he was on the verge of death, nearly tortured to death by a group of bandits.
I saved him!
But what about now?
He was also bullied by bandits!
They clearly agreed to rob the rich and give to the poor...
"Fourth Brother, how did you become like this?" He looked at the Fourth Master in disbelief, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
“Third Brother, I want to become stronger, I want to have power… You were so good, so loyal… We were bandits, we shouldn’t have done this… Third Brother, now that you’re gone, I will miss you, and I will repent at your grave every year…”
The fourth leader still wore a smile, but there was no emotion in the depths of his eyes.
The third senior brother suddenly thought of something.
