Chapter 73 Chapter 73 I am strong
"What?"
Upon hearing what Boss Tu said, Ge Yayi and Wu Shouzi reacted strongly.
Drunk? Who is drunk?
The two of them didn't bother to doubt whether Yu Li was a human or not. They quickly came over and looked at her face boldly.
Along the way, because of their awe for Yu Li, they actually didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Because of this, the two of them didn't notice anything unusual about her.
At this moment, they saw the blush on her face. Because her face was too white, the blush was particularly obvious and it was really abnormal.
After all, you are not sick, right?
If she was sick, she could still carry them around like this, and even kill a bandit in a bandit camp. Isn't this too amazing? Of course, it doesn't seem normal for a drunk person to kill so many bandits?
In short, only drunk people can be irrational.
For example, they refused to go through the city gates, but were dragged over the city walls. They were celebrating a festival, and forced them to come here to suppress bandits or something like that...
So there is no other explanation except being drunk.
Knowing this, both of them felt complicated.
Is this considered a drunken madness? When others get drunken madness, at most they only harm their relatives and friends, but when she gets drunken madness, she directly wipes out the bandits in the entire bandit camp.
How terrible!
Boss Tu had no idea what the two were thinking. Seeing them moving closer to Yu Li, he pushed them aside with his big hand like a palm-leaf fan, preventing them from getting any closer.
"What are you doing? Stay away from her."
Although the two men kept calling Yu Li "Boss Li", Boss Tu still felt that these two guys did not look like good people. Now that Yu Li was drunk again, he was worried that she would be deceived and taken advantage of by men, so he had to be on guard.
Ge Yayi and Wu Shouzi were feeling uncomfortable, and when he pushed them away, they didn't dare to do anything.
The identities of this group of people were obviously not ordinary. Not to mention idlers like Wu Shouzi, even yamen runners like Ge Yayi did not dare to act rashly in front of them.
They were still a little upset about Yu Li getting drunk and bringing them here to fight bandits.
But when they saw the group of injured bandits lying on the ground, they suddenly felt that it was nothing.
Compared to these bandits who were severely injured, their limbs were intact, and no body parts were missing. It seemed that the boss was quite tolerant towards them.
At this moment, Ge Yayi and the other man suddenly felt grateful to Yu Li.
Thankful that she showed them mercy.
Boss Tu separated Wu Shouzi and the other man, turned to the young man who was not far away and said, "Master Xuan, have someone tie up these bandits first."
Although the bandits were injured, they were tied up first for safety reasons.
Xuan Huaiqing was still in shock. He responded blankly and turned around to tell the guards to get to work.
Then he looked at Yu Li standing there, finding it hard to believe.
He asked in disbelief, "Uncle Tu, is she really Miss Yu?" The Yu Li in his memory did not look like this, and he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.
Boss Tu nodded affirmatively and said, "Master Xuan, she is Li Niang." Seeing that he still couldn't believe it, he actually understood it in his heart and explained, "Didn't I tell you that she was sick last month? The doctor said that her body was seriously damaged, so he prescribed medicine for her to recuperate. She has been recuperating for more than a month, and she became like this now."
Xuan Huaiqing was stunned.
He had heard Boss Tu mention it, and at that time he had asked about the situation with concern, wondering whether he should find a skilled doctor from the provincial capital to go to Shanping County to see her.
Yu Li saved his life, so he was grateful to her and naturally paid some attention to her.
He was recuperating in the provincial capital before, and the spies from Nanzhao were too troublesome, so he couldn't spare the time to come over. He could only ask Tu Laoduo to take care of her.
Usually when Boss Tu went to the provincial capital, he would occasionally mention Yu Li to him, but Yu Li was a married girl after all, and Boss Tu was a sensible person, so it was not easy to say too much to him, and he never told him about Yu Li's current changes.
Xuan Huaiqing never expected that after not seeing each other for a few months, Yu Li would become like this.
When I first met her, she was a girl who was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable. She didn't look pretty at all, and could even be said to be quite ugly.
The girl standing in front of me now, with glowing white skin and beautiful features, standing in the moonlight, is nothing like she was when I first met her - although if you look closely, her face is still the same and her facial features have not changed much, which shows that she was supposed to look like this, and she looked ugly because she was too thin before.
"So... is she recovering?" Xuan Huaiqing asked uncertainly.
Tu Laodao said: "From what she said, her body is getting better soon and she won't need to take medicine anymore."
Xuan Huaiqing was relieved, and glanced at Yu Li who was standing there obediently. He was still not used to her being like this, and couldn't help asking again: "She... why did she come here?"
When he found out that the person in front of him was Yu Li, his mind was completely blank.
Is she the "Boss Li" mentioned by those two people? He really couldn't connect Yu Li with the bandit suppression, so he was so shocked that he couldn't react.
As he spoke, Yu Li turned to look at him.
Xuan Huaiqing met her gaze and suddenly blushed. He couldn't get used to Yu Li's appearance and asked, "Miss Yu, do you still recognize me?"
Yu Li looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Remember, you are Xuan Huaiqing."
Xuan Huaiqing was very happy and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Suppress bandits." Yu Li answered politely.
Xuan Huaiqing asked in confusion: "Why do you want to suppress the bandits?"
She said seriously, "Because they will threaten the normal survival of mankind, they must be dealt with."
Hearing this, Xuan Huaiqing and Boss Tu were both a little confused.
What she meant was, would these bandits threaten the normal lives of the people?
There is nothing wrong with this understanding.
That is why they chose to take action today to wipe out the bandits in Qingya Mountain to prevent the people in this area from suffering. Many caravans have suffered at their hands and dare not take this route anymore.
"Miss Yu, thank you so much!" Xuan Huaiqing said sincerely, thinking that she was a really good person. "The people will be grateful to you."
Xuan Huaiqing caught a glimpse of the collapsed mountain over there from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help asking again: "By the way, do you know why it suddenly collapsed over there? We were at the foot of the mountain before, and when we heard the noise here, we rushed over."
At the time they thought it was a landslide, and it turned out to be.
Fortunately, the landslide was small in scope and did not cause any danger. Moreover, it only occurred on this side of the valley and had little impact on the people living near Qingya Mountain.
Yu Li blinked and said slowly: "I did it."
Xuan Huaiqing: “…”
Boss Tu: “…”
Wu Shouzi and the other person next to him: "..."
The four of them looked at her in disbelief, thinking they had heard it wrong.
She did it?
What did she do? Why did the mountain collapse?
Yu Li didn't explain much. He bent down to pick up a hard-looking stone on the ground, and then crushed it in front of them.
The powder slipped from her hands, flew forward in the night wind, and dissipated in the air.
After doing all this, she said, "I am very strong."
This scene was very vivid. The stone in her hand was like a ball of powder, which shattered into pieces with a slight squeeze.
Everyone stared at her hands in a daze, and some even suspected that what she had just picked up was not a stone, but just a ball of powder.
Xuan Huaiqing subconsciously crushed a stone on the ground with his foot. It was very hard and his foot was completely unable to crush it.
So her strength is really great, so great that she can even cause mountains to collapse?
Should that be the case?
Boss Tu prided himself on being knowledgeable and experienced, but at this moment he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He asked with some unconscious caution: "Li Niang, why did you collapse that place?"
"Let them come out of the house." Yu Li pointed at the group of bandits on the ground, "I'm too lazy to call them out one by one, so let them come out automatically."
So, things were just as they had guessed.
The mountain suddenly collapsed, and those who were unaware thought it was an earthquake. Even the soundest sleepers would run out of the house in panic and be caught by her who was waiting outside.
There is no need to search house by house.
Wu Shouzi and Ge Yayi have become numb.
They already knew how terrible it was to be away from the boss, and now they had a more intuitive understanding.
Now, they could finally lie down in peace and stop trying to resist. From now on, if she told them to go east, they would never go west. If she told them to sleep, they would never open their eyes.
Boss Tu and Xuan Huaiqing quickly calmed down.
Although her strength may be ridiculous, there are many talented people in this world, so it doesn't matter if there is another person with ridiculous strength, Yu Li.
In addition, Yu Li had saved Xuan Huaiqing before, so the two of them naturally accepted this.
Xuan Huaiqing even exclaimed: "Miss Yu, you are really strong."
"Not bad." Yu Li tilted his head to look at him, and used a reference object as an example, "As long as you can beat the beasts in the mountains, it's fine."
Everyone: "..." Do you have any misunderstandings about the strength of the beasts in the mountains? With such strength, the beasts would run away with their tails between their legs, right?
-
Over there, the group of guards brought by Xuan Huaiqing searched the house and found some ropes, and tied up the bandits on the ground.
This was the first time that they had suppressed bandits so smoothly. It was a little unbelievable and they couldn't help but look in the direction of Yu Li frequently, feeling a little curious about her identity.
After they found out that Young Master Xuan knew her, they put away their curiosity and stopped asking.
Wu Shouzi and Ge Yayi were also called over to help.
Because there were not enough ropes in the bandit camp, the two men took off the bandits' clothes, tore them into strips, twisted them into ropes, and tied them up.
This method was learned by Ge Yayi from Yu Li. When they met for the first time, Yu Li tore off his clothes and used them to tie his hands and feet.
Boss Tu glanced at the two men. He didn't think much about it when he met them at the foot of the mountain before. But now that he knew that the "Boss Li" they were talking about was Yu Li, he couldn't help but feel strange.
He asked, "Li Niang, how do you know them? Why do they call you Li Lao Da?"
Wu Shouzi and another man who were working nearby froze.
Yu Li was honest: "Because I beat them into submission, that's why they called me that."
Boss Tu: “…”
Xuan Huaiqing widened his eyes in surprise, looked at her, and then looked at the two people.
Boss Tu asked sharply, "What did they do?"
Otherwise, why would she beat them for no reason?
Xuan Huaiqing also realized the problem and looked at Wu Shouzi and the other man unhappily. Although he was not familiar with Yu Li, she was still thinking about suppressing the bandits even when she was drunk - and she had already successfully suppressed the bandits, which showed that she was a kind-hearted girl who was willing to eliminate harm for the people, and she would definitely not hit people for no reason.
Wu Shouzi and the other man were sweating profusely and almost wanted to kneel down.
They knew that this group of people had unusual identities, so they didn't dare to act rashly. They were also afraid that the other party would know what they had done before. If they wanted to vent their anger on Yu Li, they would definitely not be able to resist.
When Ge Yayi heard Boss Tu calling the young man "Young Master Xuan", he guessed the identity of Young Master Xuan.
The surname Xuan is very rare, and since these people are from the army, one can't help but think of the Xuan family, where General Xuan comes from. This young man should be the young master of the general's mansion.
As a yamen runner, he would never be able to meet such a noble person, nor could he afford to offend him.
He didn't expect that Yu Li actually knew such a noble person. No wonder she acted so boldly.
In front of the young master of the general's mansion, the magistrate of Shanping County was indeed nothing, not to mention a mere steward Cui.
-
Yu Li did not answer. It was unclear whether he was drunk or simply did not want to talk.
Boss Tu asked again: "Li Niang, why did you bring them with you to fight the bandits?"
He was a little puzzled. He didn't know why she brought these two people with her. He wondered if they had done something. Did they want to take advantage of her drunkenness...
Being stared at with such suspicion by him, Ge and the other yamen runner felt like crying but had no tears.
They really didn't know that she was drunk. If they knew, they would definitely try their best to persuade her - although they might not be able to persuade her, they would at least be mentally prepared.
As for whether he did something to her - that was impossible, it was she who did something to them.
Yu Li said as a matter of course: "Bring them over to help run errands."
To suppress bandits, it is definitely not enough to just defeat them, someone has to deal with it.
Take these two people with you, one can stay here and wait for people to come, and the other can go back to inform the government and ask them to send someone to deal with it.
After hearing this, Boss Tu and Xuan Huaiqing couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that although she was drunk, her logic and behavior were still very methodical, and she didn't look like a drunk person at all.
After knowing that Yu Li was drunk, Boss Tu was a little worried and said to Xuan Huaiqing, "Master Xuan, you stay here with Li Niang. I'll go to the village to take a look."
There are forty or fifty bandits here. With so many people gathered here, they naturally wouldn't live alone. They also built houses in the mountains. Although they are not as good as those in the city, they are better than the houses in the village.
I guess they captured nearby villagers to help build it.
After seeing Xuan Huaiqing agreed, Boss Tu said to Yu Li, "Mother Li, don't run around here."
Yu Li said "oh" and seemed very obedient.
Boss Tu had a feeling that she was not actually drunk, but when he thought about what she had just done, he felt that she must be very drunk.
After Boss Tu left, Yu Li stood there obediently without running around, like a good child who listened to his elders.
Xuan Huaiqing couldn't help but look at her again and found it a little funny.
Who would believe that she was obedient when she could kill so many bandits like this? But at this moment, she looked really obedient and had no killing power.
He was surprised to think of her current drunken state.
Are drunk people so obedient? He doesn't look like a drunk at all.
Of course, this thought disappeared after he saw the guards tie up the bandits and come to report their injuries to him.
"...Their limbs were broken, but their bones weren't too badly injured. If they take good care of themselves, they can still be healed."
It may be impossible to move within a few months.
Naturally there is no way to escape.
Hearing this, Wu Shouzi and Ge Yayi couldn't help but gasp, thinking to themselves that Li was indeed ruthless and cruel, and it was a good thing that she didn't break their hands and feet.
No, she threatened to castrate them...
If they refuse to repent, their fate will certainly not be much better than that of these bandits.
The guard who reported the incident couldn't help but glance at Yu Li who was standing there obediently.
They were not as scared as Wu Shouzi and the other man. They knew that what she was doing was the right thing to do, and it could effectively prevent the bandits from escaping. After all, she was alone, and if the bandits ran away separately, it would be very troublesome to chase them.
This is the best way.
That’s right, I don’t know how she did it, but she was able to take care of all the bandits by herself, without letting any of them escape.
Weren't these bandits sober at the time?
If I were awake and found someone attacking me, I would definitely resist or run away.
Xuan Huaiqing didn't care about the bandits' injuries at all, and asked Yu Li curiously: "Miss Yu, didn't they run away at that time?"
She went up the mountain alone to suppress the bandits. According to Wu Shouzi and the others, she had not prepared anything at the time, not even a weapon. She couldn't poison these bandits and prevent them from escaping, right?
Yu Li blinked and said, "Some of them are trying to run away, just make sure they can't run away."
Xuan Huaiqing didn't quite understand what it meant.
Yu Li demonstrated it to him again.
She picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, squeezed it into countless irregular small stones, and then knocked them away.
All I heard was a series of bang bang sounds coming from the front. Pits appeared where the stones hit, and dust was flying. It was extremely lethal.
Seeing this scene, everyone fell silent.
With such great strength and good aim, those bandits really won't be able to escape.
Wu Shouzi couldn't help but think of the time when they wanted to rob her outside the city, but found that she was not easy to deal with. When they wanted to escape, their legs were hit by stones, and their legs were instantly paralyzed, and they fell directly to the ground.
It is impossible to escape.
Therefore, if these bandits dare to escape, their fate will be the same.
After tying up these bandits, they searched the bandit camp, took out all the supplies in the camp and threw them on the ground.
After doing all this, there was not much time left until dawn.
Wu Shouzi and Ge Yayi were both extremely tired and collapsed on the ground.
Yu Li saw Boss Tu coming over and said, "I want to go back."
The bandits have been wiped out, so she doesn't need to stay here forever, they will take care of the rest.
Tu Lao Da asked her to go back, but he was worried because she was still drunk, so he said, "Do you want me to find someone to take you back?"
Yu Li said seriously: "No, I can go back by myself."
"How did you get back?" Boss Tu asked again, "By the way, how did you get here?"
Boss Tu realized this problem.
Qingya Mountain is not far from Shanping County and Qingshi Village. It takes most of the day just to walk there. How did they get here?
Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, and Yu Li must have been at her husband's house, celebrating the festival with her family.
It's impossible that she didn't go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but drank outside, then got drunk and went crazy, and brought people here to suppress bandits, right?
Wu Shouzi and Ge Yayi said nothing.
How did you get here?
They were carried here like cargo and almost suffocated several times. They burst into tears when they talk about it.
Yu Li said: "He ran here."
Boss Tu: “…”
The answer was not that surprising. After all, horses were hard to buy, and she didn't need to buy one. In addition, the two people she brought with her didn't look like they could afford horses, so they definitely didn't have horses or mules for transportation.
After informing Boss Tu, Yu Li turned around and went down the mountain.
Xuan Huaiqing called her and said, "Miss Yu, I will come to see you in two days."
This time when he came to Qingya Mountain to suppress the bandits, he wanted to stop by Shanping County to personally thank Yu Li for saving his life. She worked in Zhangji Meat Shop in the county town, so it would be more convenient to find her than in Qingshi Village.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Wu Shouzi and Ge Yayi followed her without hesitation.
After learning from Ge Yayi that Xuan Huaiqing and his men might be military personnel, Wu Shouzi no longer dared to stay with them.
A lazy fellow like him should just leave as soon as possible.
As for Ge Yayi, although he wanted to take credit for suppressing the bandits, he didn't have the courage to go near him when he thought that this "Young Master Xuan" might be a member of the Xuan family.
He didn't expect that "Young Master Xuan" and Yu Li had such a deep friendship and even wanted to go find her. He became more and more afraid to stay.
Ge Yayi suddenly felt lucky that after being beaten up by Yu Li, he decided to surrender to her...
Even if Young Master Xuan knew that he had offended her because of Manager Cui, he would not be so angry as to punish him, right?
**
On the way back, Yu Li still disliked the two people for walking too slowly and wanted to hold them by the back of their collars.
The two were afraid of being strangled by her, so they quickly said, "Boss Li, you don't need to take us back, we can go by ourselves."
The bandits have been wiped out, so this section of the road must be safe and there is nothing to worry about.
Yu Li didn't force him and left first.
When the sky was just beginning to turn pale, she finally returned home.
The door of the Fu family was locked. She didn't disturb anyone at home and just climbed over the wall to get in.
"Leaving mother?"
Zhou's voice rang out. She was standing at the door of the kitchen. In the dim light of dawn, she just saw Yu Li climbing over the wall to come in.
She always wakes up early, and she was always thinking about Yu Li who left last night, so she got up early.
Yu Li looked at her dully and called her "Mom".
Seeing that she was slow to react, Zhou didn't know whether she was sober or not. She thought that she had just come back and must have not slept all night. She felt very distressed and quickly let her go to rest.
Yu Li went back to his room obediently.
When the door opened, Fu Wenxiao woke up from the bed and called out hoarsely, "Li Niang?"
The light in the room was very dim. Yu Li came in in the dark and answered.
Fu Wenxiao regained some consciousness, propped himself up and said, "Did you just get back? Are you tired?"
Yu Li hummed, and a rustling sound was heard in the room.
Fu Wenxiao asked: "Li Niang, what are you doing?"
"Looking for clothes."
Fu Wenxiao quickly realized that she was changing clothes. His face felt slightly hot and he lowered his eyes slightly.
After changing clothes, Yu Li opened the door and went out again. Not long after, he came back covered in moisture and lay on the bed.
Fu Wenxiao forced himself to wait for her, and when he noticed that she was lying on the bed, he reached out and gently touched her hair that was scattered on the pillow, and asked, "Li Niang, where have you been?"
He did not sleep well that night, always worried that she was in danger and was in a state of half asleep and half awake.
Yu Li said: "Go and suppress the bandits."
She closed her eyes and her voice was sleepy.
Fu Wenxiao was startled when he heard this. He noticed how sleepy she was, but he couldn't bear to disturb her. He said softly, "Li Niang, go to sleep."
She responded vaguely and fell into a deep sleep.
Feeling the breath of the people around him, Fu Wenxiao felt at ease and also allowed himself to fall asleep.
