Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Suppressing Bandits and Saving People
When Yu Li arrived at the bandit camp in the mountains, he found that the area of the bandit camp was not small.
That's right, there are more than 200 bandit camps here, which is already a large bandit den. With so many people, they must have cut down trees and built houses, making this bandit camp look like a small village in the mountains.
Of course, there are pros and cons. Once the government decides to suppress the bandits, it will be difficult for them to give up this piece of foundation.
Yu Li didn't think too much about it. She quietly came to the bandit camp and found a relatively high place to observe.
The bandit camp was located in a steep area in the mountains, with its back against a cliff, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Of course, this is for ordinary people. To Yu Li, this bandit village is like a turtle in a jar. As long as she blocks the only exit, the bandits in the village will be like turtles in the jar and will have no choice but to surrender.
Yu Li did the same.
She climbed up the steep cliff and disappeared into it after a few leaps.
The bandit camp was on high alert at night. There were patrolling bandits at every checkpoint, and there were torches around to illuminate the surroundings clearly.
Once someone approaches, the people in the bandit camp will definitely discover it at the first moment.
But the people who came this time did not take the usual route. Yu Li did not even approach the sentry posts. She went straight up the dangerous steep slope and reached the highest point.
Yu Li looked down at the bandit camp below, calculated the location in his mind, and then started to work.
**
When the rumbling sound was heard, it was accompanied by an earthquake and rocks rolled down the mountain.
It was late at night and everyone in the bandit camp was awakened instantly. Except for the patrolmen, many people ran out in dishevel. Some people even ran out of a house naked, with only a piece of clothing around their waists to cover their bodies.
"what happen?"
"Landslide? Earthquake?"
“Run!”
“…”
The entire bandit camp was in chaos. People thought that the landslide was caused by an earthquake and wanted to escape. They soon discovered that the only exit was blocked by rocks rolling down from the top of the mountain.
This discovery made everyone step back quickly with horror on their faces.
If soldiers came to attack them, they would still dare to pick up weapons to fight back and would definitely beat them to a bloody pulp. However, humans had no way to deal with this kind of natural disaster.
Fortunately, after a landslide, the world quickly returned to peace, and there were no continuous earthquakes.
The leader of the bandit camp immediately shouted, "Don't worry, it's just a sudden collapse of the mountain. There is no earthquake. It may be that there was too much rain this spring and the mountain was corroded by the rain. There are no problems in other places, and there is no earthquake. There is no need to panic!"
With the comfort of the big boss, everyone's emotions were finally stabilized, and the chaotic bandit camp quieted down.
The boss continued, "For safety reasons, don't stay in the house tonight. Wait outside and see what happens after daybreak!"
Someone asked, "Boss, what if there is another landslide?"
"Then change the place."
"But……"
"No buts!" said the big boss, "Since there is a landslide here, it proves that this area may not be safe. Let's find another safe place."
The boss said it very simply, but the people around him were very unconfident.
The main reason is that the location of this village is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not easy to find such a suitable place again.
But looking at the boss's expression, it seemed that it didn't matter if this place was abandoned, which made many people feel suspicious.
Just when the boss was shouting for everyone to gather, he suddenly realized that there were not enough people.
The first boss said to the second boss beside him: "Why are there only so few people? Where are the others? Are they still in the house? Let them come out!"
What if there is another landslide and rocks rolling down the mountain hit the house?
The second in command is about to take people to look for him.
As they turned around, something came flying through the air with a whoosh. The second in command felt his whole body go numb from the place where his back was hit. He didn't even have time to scream before he fell forward.
"Second brother!"
The big boss shouted and looked around vigilantly.
Unfortunately, before he could find the person who attacked in secret, the same sound of breaking air came towards him. His brain clearly reminded him to hide quickly, but his body's reaction could not keep up. The boss soon felt numb all over and fell to the ground.
Then, several leaders of the bandit camps fell one after another.
Seeing several bosses fall down like this, the people around them became agitated.
They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They looked everywhere for the enemy, but they couldn't see a single figure. They could only watch their companions fall one by one.
This scene made them so angry that they almost collapsed. As they fell, they could see stones rolling to the ground.
Unfortunately, even if someone finds out, they can't avoid it and will end up suffering the same fate as the people before them.
They didn't even see who the enemy was or where they were hiding before everyone fell.
Soon, the entire bandit camp became quiet.
Not long after, there was a noise in a house in the village, and someone pushed open the door and stumbled out.
There were a dozen women with disheveled hair and untidy clothes.
They looked haggard and miserable, with all kinds of horrible wounds all over their bodies. When they saw the bandits lying on the ground, they stood there blankly for a moment, then screamed miserably, picked up stones from the ground, and threw them at the bandits around them.
“Ahhh—”
They screamed wildly and smashed the bandits with the stones in their hands, screaming and smashing at the same time. Suddenly, they burst into tears and cried bitterly.
“Stop crying!”
An equally embarrassed woman shouted, "Let's run away before they wake up!"
Unlike those women who were emotionally agitated and collapsed, she was exceptionally calm. She had no fewer scars on her body than other women, even her face was bruised and purple, but she still restrained the idea of revenge and just wanted to escape first.
She had just checked carefully and it seemed that these bandits had just fainted and were not dead.
Once they wake up... they won't be able to escape!
The other crazy women regained their senses a little after hearing this, grabbed the people around them who were still emotionally broken, and followed that woman to escape.
But when they found that the only way out was blocked by rocks, their emotions, which had just calmed down, were about to collapse.
"How, how could it be..."
Seeing the despair on their faces, the woman who had just reminded everyone to flee resolutely said, "In that case, let's kill them first!"
As long as they kill those villains, they will be safe.
Although I don’t know what happened just now, now all the bandits have fallen, so we should kill as many as we can.
The woman was very decisive. She turned around and ran into a house, coming out with a knife.
She had a hard time carrying the load, but she still insisted on coming before the leader of the bandit camp, then raised the knife and stabbed it directly into his neck.
The boss lost his life in a coma without even a scream.
When the others saw this, their eyes flashed with madness. They went to find weapons in the village and killed these people while they were unconscious.
“Kill you! Kill you! I’ll kill you ahhhhh!!!”
However, these women were too weak. Even if they were given weapons, they could only deal with a small number of bandits.
Finally, the bandits woke up.
When they woke up, they saw the group of women rebelling with weapons and smelled the blood in the air. Their expressions changed drastically, especially when they saw several people lying in a pool of blood, including a few of the bosses. They glared at the group of women viciously like evil spirits.
"How dare you, you bitches--"
They got up from the ground, looking as if they wanted to eat them.
The women were horrified. They had been trapped in the bandit camp and had been tortured by the bandits for days, leaving them very weak. Some of them fell to the ground and had no strength to stand up again.
Just when they thought they were doomed, the man who pounced on them suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground with a thud.
A stone rolled to the ground and landed at a woman's feet.
The bandit who had just woken up fell down again.
They stared at the small stone on the ground and realized that there was someone else lurking in the dark.
Moreover, the reason why these bandits fell to the ground was because of someone working in secret.
It was still the brave woman who made the first move. She looked around and asked boldly, "No, I don't know who the benefactor is. Can you show yourself?"
It was quiet all around, with only the sound of the wind and the crackling of burning torches.
After a long while, the women relaxed.
Although the person in the dark has not shown up and no one knows who he is, he has always been there.
Even if a bandit woke up, the other party would throw another stone and knock him down again. Regarding their previous behavior, the other party remained silent, obviously not interfering with their revengeful behavior.
Because of this, they calmed down.
Although they were still filled with hatred, they were not as desperate as before. However, when they saw the bloody weapons in their hands, they showed expressions of fear and despair.
They killed people!
But these beasts killed their relatives and even kidnapped them to this devil's den, torturing them day and night...
The sobbing sounded on the wind, and then turned into loud howling.
The crying sound was carried by the wind to the outside of the bandit camp and was heard by Boss Tu who finally arrived.
Boss Tu's face changed slightly, but unfortunately he looked around but couldn't find the entrance to the bandit camp. It seemed to be blocked.
Just when Boss Tu was getting extremely anxious, a figure appeared like a ghost, scaring him so much that he almost screamed.
"Uncle Tu, it's me." Yu Li said.
Boss Tu: “…”
Yu Li continued, "Uncle Tu, I have dealt with all the bandits inside. You go down the mountain and find the government officials to come over."
Boss Tu stared at her in amazement. He felt that his reaction must have been stupid: "Solved?"
"Yes."
Boss Tu finally reacted, "The crying in there..."
"They are some victims." Yu Li said softly, "They should be civilians who were abducted to the mountains by the bandits."
Boss Tu fell silent for a moment. He could tell that the crying voices were those of women. He knew without a second thought what the women would experience after being abducted to the bandit camp.
Yu Li urged, "Uncle Tu, go call someone over."
She is only responsible for the beating, not the aftermath.
Boss Tu responded subconsciously, then reacted, "What about you?"
"I'll watch here." Yu Li said.
Boss Tu had a complicated expression and said decisively: "Okay, I'll go down the mountain and bring people here as soon as possible. You stay here and guard."
After Boss Tu left, Yu Li easily climbed over the rocks blocking the exit of the bandit camp and came into the camp.
She still did not show up, but stood on a high place, silently watching the bandit camp below.
Because she was standing so high, the people in the bandit camp might not have thought that there was someone else up there. Even if they wanted to find someone, they would only look around and never thought that someone could easily climb over the steep mountain.
After crying for a while, the women may have finally vented their emotions and their emotions returned to calm.
Although some people are still in a bad mental state, they are much more stable than when they first came out. Moreover, there are companions around them who encourage them and let them know that they are not alone.
It was still the woman who looked the strongest and calmest who made the decision. She said, "Let's find some ropes and tie them up."
Although they were protected secretly, they could not just sit there and do nothing, especially since these were bandits who did all kinds of evil. They did not execute them decisively because they did not want to commit too many murders.
They had already killed most of the people they should have killed, and now that their emotions had calmed down, they really didn't dare to kill again.
Everyone listened to her and soon got busy with her as the backbone.
Yu Li watched all this silently and never showed up.
By dawn, all the surviving bandits were tied up.
Although they were not professional in tying people up, they were filled with hatred in their hearts. No matter how tired or uncomfortable they were, they gritted their teeth and tied up the bandits tightly, leaving them no chance of breaking free.
Having something to do allows them to temporarily forget about everything else, including the suffering they are experiencing.
After finally tying up all the living bandits, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading woman said again: "Let's go find something to eat first."
"OK!"
There were a lot of eatable things in the bandit camp. Yu Li saw them moving out a lot of food and putting it in an open area. The group of women sat on the ground and started eating and drinking, and they couldn't help but touch their stomachs.
She is hungry too.
After working all night and waiting here, it's impossible not to be hungry.
At this time, the strong woman who led the group suddenly said, "Sir, would you like to come out and have something to eat?"
Yu Li blinked her eyes and realized that the "benefactor" she was talking about was referring to herself. Was she asking her to eat something? She was a little eager to do something.
"My benefactor, there are a lot of things here. You have been guarding for a whole night. You must be hungry, right?" The woman said softly, "Come out. If you are afraid that we will see you, we can turn our backs to you."
The woman did what she said and took out a portion of the food and put it on an open space. Then she and the others turned their backs to the pile of food, indicating that they would not peek.
When Yu Li saw this scene, she thought they were very kind and even let her eat.
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and jumped down from a high place and finally walked into the bandit camp.
The group of women with their backs to the camera were a little nervous at first, but when they heard some noise behind them, as if someone was taking something to eat, they became excited.
They couldn't describe their feelings at the moment, they just felt an urge to cry.
These women were very trustworthy. They sat silently with their backs to Yu Li, and no one turned around to peek.
This made Yu Li feel a little embarrassed.
She was not actually afraid of being seen, but she felt that they had experienced such a thing and was afraid that if she showed up rashly, she would scare them.
However, these women underestimated her appetite. After eating all the food they gave her, Yu Li was still not full.
At this time, the leading woman asked again: "My benefactor, is there enough to eat?"
Yu Li glanced at her and said, "Not enough."
Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned.
It’s actually a girl?
They almost couldn't help wanting to turn back, but quickly restrained themselves. Since she didn't want others to see her, then...
Before they could react, they heard footsteps approaching them.
Then, a girl in green clothes with a red rope tied in her hair appeared in their sight.
She was very beautiful, with fair skin and a pretty face. She looked cool and clear as she came in the morning light, like a goddess walking out of the mountains and forests. She was mysterious and beautiful, making them feel dazed.
At this moment, in the hearts of these girls who had suffered so much, this girl who suddenly appeared was like a goddess who came to save them.
They opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but tears welled up in their eyes again.
Yu Li saw that they were all crying, even the strongest woman had tears in her eyes, and suddenly felt a little helpless.
Sure enough, she shouldn't be there.
"Don't cry," she said sternly, "if you feel uncomfortable, go and beat them up again."
Anyway, those bandits were tied up, so they could beat them whenever they wanted.
The leading woman wiped away her tears somewhat embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Goddess, we are not crying, we just want to thank you for saving our lives."
They already understood that the landslide must have been caused by her.
Only gods can do such a thing. Only gods can defeat those sinful bandits and evildoers and save them.
Yu Li blinked and said, "I'm not a goddess. I'm here to suppress bandits."
Everyone: “Ah?”
"I was invited by the government to suppress the bandits." Yu Li reiterated, "Don't worry, someone has already notified the government, and you will be able to leave here soon."
Everyone looked at her in shock, unable to digest the news for a moment.
When they found out that she was not a goddess, they were somewhat disappointed, but soon they looked at her with wide eyes.
Someone asked: "Are you really a human?"
"Yes, I am!" Yu Li nodded.
They still found it a little unconvincing and couldn't help but take another look at the exit of the bandit camp that was blocked by rocks.
Now that it was daybreak, they could more clearly see the rubble of rocks of varying sizes blocking the exit from the bandit camp to the outside world, rolling down from the steep mountain wall. No wonder there was such a big noise last night, making people think there was an earthquake.
Is this something a human can do?
Yu Li said: "I am stronger."
Thinking that the government officials would come up the mountain to deal with the aftermath, and the entrance to the bandit camp was blocked, making it difficult for them to come in, she wanted to move the blocking stones first.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the group of people panicked and asked quickly, "Goddess, where are you going?"
"I'm not a goddess." Yu Li turned around and said, "I'll move the stones here first, you wait."
They opened their mouths to say something, and then they saw her leap up lightly. After a few leaps, she was already flying over there. Then, like a ghost in the mountains, her figure jumped among the steep mountains and disappeared into them.
Isn't this really a goddess?
**
On the other side, before dawn, Boss Tu had already rushed back to Yuqing County.
After he revealed his identity and mentioned the bandits in Yanzi Mountain, the soldiers guarding the city dared not stop him and quickly opened the door to let him in.
Soon the county government office was brightly lit.
Xuan Huaiqing and Tu Lao Da came to the county government office, and the magistrate of Yuqing County, Shen Jiaxue, was also called.
After hearing what Boss Tu said, County Magistrate Shen was stunned. He suspected that he had heard it wrongly and asked hesitantly, "Have the bandits in Yanzi Mountain been wiped out?"
Boss Tu said seriously, “Yes!”
"You and a group of volunteers went up the mountain to wipe them out last night?"
Boss Tu continued, "It's not me, it's only her."
County Magistrate Shen still looked sleepwalking, his face full of confusion. He turned to Xuan Huaiqing and asked, "Are you sure he's not talking nonsense?"
Xuan Huaiqing was unhappy, "How could Uncle Tu joke about such a thing? If you don't believe it, go and see!"
Definitely going!
Without saying anything, County Magistrate Shen selected some people to leave the city together.
These people were not county yamen runners, but guards and servants he brought from his family. After he came here to take office, his family members were worried about the safety of the road and specially arranged guards for him.
Compared with the clerks in the county government who had their own thoughts, he trusted the people he brought with him more. It was thanks to them that he was able to secure his position as the county magistrate of Yuqing County.
A group of people rode directly over there.
On the way, County Magistrate Shen made a special effort to learn about the situation of the hero.
Unfortunately, Xuan Huaiqing didn't say much, just said: "You will know when you see it."
County Magistrate Shen became more and more curious. What was there to hide?
He smiled and said, "If this hero really wiped out the bandits in Yanzi Mountain, this would be a great achievement. I will definitely plead for her in the Palace Master's office, and she will definitely get a lot of rewards."
"Really?" Xuan Huaiqing looked at him meaningfully, "In that case, you must remember what you said."
"certainly!"
County Magistrate Shen made a solemn promise.
The group rode their horses to the foot of Yanzi Mountain, but because the terrain in the mountain was difficult to walk on, they had to dismount and walk.
By the time they arrived at the bandit camp in the mountains, it was already dawn.
**
Yu Li spent a quarter of an hour to remove the stone blocking the intersection.
The women who were waiting in the bandit camp were all stunned when they saw her actually move the rocks away.
What a great strength...
They watched with envy, and after Yu Li repeatedly argued that she was not a goddess, they wondered, could a mortal woman have such great strength?
If they had such strength, why would they encounter these misfortunes and end up like this?
Although they managed to survive and finally escape from this bandit’s den, what will happen to their future?
Even the strongest woman was a little confused.
At this time, they heard Yu Li say: "Do you want to become stronger? I can teach you."
In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at her with longing.
"real?"
Yu Li nodded, "I can teach you a set of physical skills. As long as you keep practicing, your strength will increase, and you will have no problem fighting ten people at once."
"Let's practice!" they said without hesitation, their expressions extremely determined.
Having experienced such hardships, they understand too well the fragility and helplessness of women. They just want to at least have the strength to resist if they encounter such a thing again in the future.
Yu Li was satisfied to see that they all perked up and no longer looked empty and numb.
But she did not teach them right away. Instead, she said, "After you get down the mountain and settle down, I will teach you." Then she added, "The process will be painful, but as long as you persist and practice for a year or so, you will gain something."
Hearing this, the women couldn't help but curl their lips in self-mockery.
No matter how painful it was, was it as painful as what they experienced in the bandit camp?
