"Are you afraid?"
Gu Chengyan and Lin Jiuyue, brother and sister, stood side by side.
"What's the point of being afraid? If you're afraid they won't come?"
Lin Jiuyue asked back.
Just now, when he was using his consciousness to investigate, he heard the bandits mention something about small animals. Lin Jiuyue instantly understood why these bandits were pursuing him and his group so relentlessly.
"There are quite a few of these bandits. If you can't defeat them later, just run away. Don't force a fight. Do you understand? We'll meet up in the capital then."
Gu Chengyan stared intently at the direction the bandits were coming from.
Lin Jiuyue didn't say anything.
If you can't win, just run away. My brother and I can hide in the space and use the concealment of the space to slowly get rid of these bandits.
But the problem is, there is also Gu Chengyan now! I can't use the space so blatantly.
It can be said that if Gu Chengyan was not there, Lin Jiuyue would not be panicked at all.
"I know, you're the same. If you can't fight, just run away."
As for whether they would meet up or not, Lin Jiuyue didn't think too much about it.
Gu Chengyan is also from Beijing. This place is only a few days away from Beijing. After all of us have come this far, it is time to say goodbye.
I am a person who doesn't like separation scenes, so it would be nice if we could separate under such circumstances.
Lin Qiye on the side rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Do these two really think they are invisible? Why is it that no one cares about them?
"Here I come."
As soon as Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, the bandits appeared in front of the three of them.
"Oh, I thought I couldn't catch up, but I didn't expect you guys to be waiting here. That's perfect, it saves me from having to chase you."
Gu Chengyan frowned when he heard this.
The bandit leader's words were very meaningful, as if he had come specifically to chase him and the others.
"Why are you chasing us? We're just ordinary refugees. We have some food on us, but I don't think you'll be interested in this little bit of food, right?"
Gu Chengyan glanced at the mule cart.
After hearing this, the bandit leader burst into laughter.
"Boy, you're right. I don't even care about the little food you have."
Gu Chengyan: ...
If he didn't like her, why did he go to such great lengths to pursue me and the others? Could there be some other hidden secret?
Just when Gu Chengyan was extremely confused, the bandit leader spoke again.
"I've taken a fancy to your little beast. By the way, where's your little beast? Where did it go?"
Gu Chengyan turned his head and glanced at Lin Jiuyue. The bubble that was just on Lin Jiuyue's shoulder had now jumped into Lin Jiuyue's arms.
"Li Hai! Is that the little beast in that woman's arms?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Li Hai? Why does this name sound familiar?
After thinking for a while, Lin Jiuyue finally remembered that this Li Hai was Li Huaer's uncle and Li Zhuzi's elder brother?
So these bandits were brought here by Li Hai? No wonder. He himself said that he had never even met the bandit leader, so how could they know that he had a little beast? It turned out that Li Hai had betrayed him!
Li Hai stammered and hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence.
It was not until he was whipped by the guard behind him that he spoke with tears and snot.
"Yes, yes, it's this little beast. Good man, I've already brought you here, can you let me go now?"
The bandit leader glanced at Li Hai and said with disdain, seeing that Li Hai looked like a loser.
"Let you go? When did I ever say I would let you go?"
When Li Hai heard this, he was completely stunned.
These bandits never really said they would release me. I just thought that as long as I led them to find Lin Jiuyue, they would get benefits and release me. I never thought about whether they would agree or not.
"Jiuyue, Lin Jiuyue, Ji Liangchuan, please save me, I don't want to die."
There was not much expression on Lin Jiuyue and Ji Liangchuan's faces.
He betrayed me, brought danger to me, and still wanted me to save him? How could Li Hai be so shameless?
The bandit leader did not stop Li Hai from asking for help, but was more happy to see Li Hai asking for help.
If the three people on the other side had a good relationship with this person and wanted to save him, he could easily propose a condition and ask them to exchange the little beast for him. It just so happened that he didn't know how to train the little beast.
If they have a bad relationship with Li Hai and are unwilling to save him, then there is no need for Li Hai to live.
"Little girl, this guy used to be from the same village as you, right? Don't you plan to save him?"
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
What's wrong with this bandit leader? He's a bandit leader himself, and he's actually asking me such childish questions?
"I'm a little confused by what you said, Your Excellency. If it were you, would you save him?"
When the bandit leader heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"Haha, little girl, with your personality, you're suitable to be a bandit with me. What do you think? Do you want to join my team?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Thank you for your kindness, but I am a good citizen and have no interest in being a bandit."
"But I'm curious, what do you want with this little beast of mine?"
The bandit leader tutted twice and said with some regret.
"I showed you a clear path, but you refused to take it and insisted on taking a dangerous one. How tactless!"
"As for your little beast, I heard it can help find valuables like ginseng. I've lived so long and have never seen such a clever animal. I want to raise one and see if it's really as good as this guy says."
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
Sure enough, when Bubble brought the ginseng back, he was seen by the people in the team and was kicked out.
There is a saying that goes, if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.
Li Huaer is not a good person, and her uncle is not a good person either!
Also, this person speaks so righteously, isn't he just trying to trick me into handing over the bubble?
"Don't you just want this little beast in my arms? Why are you saying so much? If you want it, then come and get it."
The bandit leader was still thinking about having Lin Jiuyue teach him how to "train" Bubble, and didn't want to have a conflict for the time being. He said in a gentle voice.
"Little girl, how about this? Give me the little beast in your arms and help me train it. Once it recognizes me as its master, I will let you go."
Lin Jiuyue's mouth twitched.
Did this guy really think he was a fool? If he really did what he said and waited for Bubble to recognize him as his master, would he still be alive?
Not to mention the bandits who kill without blinking an eye, even if the emperor stood in front of him and said this, he would not believe it.
"Come and get it if you want it. If you have the ability, I will accept it."
