Caught off guard, Su Sanxi was tackled by Xia Zhiying. If Ma Wencai hadn't blocked them, the two of them would probably have tumbled down the mountain.
"I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry," Xia Zhiying said to Su Sanxi apologetically.
Su Sanxi stood up and waved his hand, "It's nothing, nothing serious happened."
Then, he glanced at Xia Zhiying's platform shoes and whispered.
"These shoes are only suitable for walking on flat ground. They're too dangerous to use for going downhill. But there's nowhere else to get a replacement right now, so be careful."
By the way, if you ever want to dress as a man again, you can come find me during your break; I have even better disguise tools.
Xia Zhiying's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this, then she smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I dressed as a man before because of life's circumstances, but I don't need to anymore."
Su Sanxi glanced at Xu Jinhuan not far away and nodded in agreement, "As long as Boss Xu is here, he will definitely be able to protect you."
As if hearing them talking about Xu Jinhuan, Ma Wencai also chimed in with a smile, "Of course, who is our boss? He's a god reincarnated!"
Seeing that Xia Zhiying got along well with everyone else, Xu Jinhuan felt relieved. After saying goodbye to Xie Datou, he went down the mountain alone.
She used her light-footed skills to quickly descend the mountain, but an accident occurred when she reached the foot of the mountain.
Those who were led up the mountain by Xu Jinhuan were all young and strong. The elderly, women, children, and carriages were left at the foot of the mountain, along with a few guards and servants to protect them.
At this moment, a quarrel broke out at the foot of the mountain.
"It's true that the richer you are, the stingier you become. You have so few people using so many carriages, why can't you share some with us? Don't you all agree?"
"Yes, these rich people usually plunder the people's wealth, now it's time to make them bleed."
"That's right. We're exhausted from traveling, and even getting a hot meal is a challenge. But they have not only herbal tea to drink, but also roasted meat to eat."
We're all human, why do they get to live so comfortably?
As Xu Jinhuan walked towards the area, she heard these words. Looking at the indignant refugees stirred up by the words, she expressionlessly drew her long sword.
The sound of the long sword being drawn was quite loud, quickly attracting the attention of the refugees on the outermost edge.
"My God, that knife is huge!"
"Who is this girl from? If we had someone as capable as her on our side, we would have even more confidence."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan glanced at the speaker with a half-smile, thinking, "This person really dares to think."
Xu Jinhuan brandished his sharp longsword and kept walking forward. The refugees, worried that the sword would hurt them, began to scatter and involuntarily made way for Xu Jinhuan, making a path as wide as a person.
The refugees' attention shifted from the troublemaker at the front to Xu Jinhuan, who was wielding a long knife.
"This girl looks fierce. Is she here to seek revenge on these people too?"
"If they're here for revenge, that would be even better. We can wait until they're done fighting, and maybe we can even get a share of what she doesn't want."
After the troublemakers could no longer hear the refugees' voices of agreement, they looked behind them in confusion and discovered this strange scene.
One of them saw Xu Jinhuan's long sword and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He smiled and stepped forward to ask.
"Heroine, do you also want to rob the rich to help the poor? We are just working hard to help more poor people. Welcome to join us."
Xu Jinhuan glanced at him indifferently, but didn't say anything. She just gave a soft "hmm". She wanted to see what kind of tricks this person could come up with.
Seeing that Xu Jinhuan did not refuse, the man genuinely assumed she was interested and immediately began to explain in detail.
"Nowadays, disasters are frequent in Dagan, and many people are displaced, making even survival a problem."
Our initial goal was to help these people find places where they could rebuild their homes and start their lives anew…
"Heroine, if you join us, your name will surely be remembered for eternity, and your descendants will be proud of you..."
Xu Jinhuan frowned as he listened to the interrupted empty talk. This guy's ability to make empty promises was too mediocre. If this were modern times, he would definitely have trouble even getting funding.
It means that the refugees really had no other hope, otherwise they would never have been so desperate as to seek help from such people.
Xu Jinhuan interrupted the other person's incessant chatter, "Stop, I don't want to hear this. Tell me how you divided the spoils."
"Divide...divide the spoils?"
The man hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xu Jinhuan, wiped the sweat from his face, and then said with a flicker of his eyes.
"Heroine, you mean how to allocate the money, right? Haha, the words of martial arts practitioners are indeed sharp."
Rest assured, we will use the majority of the funds for the benefit of the people, and the remainder will be distributed according to everyone's contributions.
At this point, the man took a few steps closer and whispered to Xu Jinhuan, "I guarantee that someone with your martial arts skills will receive a considerable amount!"
After saying that, he winked at Xu Jinhuan and gave her a knowing look.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan smiled knowingly, twirled his long sword, and the person who had just been lecturing loudly fell to the ground in disbelief, clutching his neck.
Since the apocalypse, Xu Jinhuan has hated nothing more than these hypocritical scoundrels who use the guise of helping others to do deceitful things.
Now that this kind of garbage is blocking the road, it's natural to send it to where garbage should stay.
"ah!"
"You, you..."
"Murder?!"
The refugees were the ones screaming in panic. They couldn't understand why the young woman suddenly attacked when the two were chatting so well and were about to become allies.
The thought that the girl had a smile on her face when she swung the knife made them scream even louder.
The one staring at Xu Jinhuan in disbelief, uttering only a word or two, was the dead man's accomplice.
They really didn't expect that just going to pull someone up would lead to their death.
After wiping the blood off the clothes of the man who had just died from his longsword, Xu Jinhuan smiled at his companions and asked, "Do you want me to join you too?"
"No, no, no, please don't come. Oh no, it's just that our temple is too small to accommodate someone as important as you." One of them waved his hands frantically, cold sweat pouring down his face.
Xu Jinhuan, holding a long sword, strolled leisurely toward them, as if a cat were catching a mouse, his smile growing ever wider.
"What should I do? I've never listened to advice since I was a child, and what that person just said really appealed to me."
The group exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and said, "Heroine, we were blind to your greatness this time. Please forgive us, we are magnanimous."
"Yes, heroine, we'll help you close this deal, and we won't charge you a single penny. What do you think?"
