The other person had disheveled hair, but a very determined look in their eyes. Upon hearing her words, they looked over with considerable wariness.
"We didn't capture this girl! She wanted to come along herself. She said she couldn't go back and wanted to become a bandit. We didn't make things difficult for her!"
The bandit leader shouted desperately.
The others were indeed kidnapped by them for money, but Wu Cuiying really wasn't!
Lin Anniang: "..."
This is truly unexpected; she originally thought Wu Cuiying had also been kidnapped and brought back.
"In that case, take them all with you." She waved her hand.
A group of people carried the bandits down the mountain, and soon people arrived from the other side of the desolate mountain.
"Aunt An, we're here!" Not far away, Cui Ying, along with several capable women and men from Linjia Village, rushed over.
“Leave this place to us. I’ll hand these bandits over to the authorities. You and Brother Zhong can continue on your way without delay.”
Cui Ying had actually received the news long ago; before An Niangzi set off, she had told her about the bandits.
She gathered the able-bodied men of Linjia Village and set off immediately, arriving just in time.
Lin Anniang nodded. Originally, she just felt that these bandits were too arrogant and might harm the villagers who were passing by, so she came to kill the bandits on the way.
Now that we've finished, let's move on.
Before leaving, she explained Wu Cuiying's situation to Cui Ying, and then jumped into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Zhongheng's gaze toward the woman had transformed into one of adoration.
He subconsciously took out his brocade pouch and prayed silently in his heart.
"Your brocade pouch is empty?" Lin Anniang across from her immediately realized something.
Zhongheng was terrified, thinking he had lost the gift given to him by the Mountain Goddess, and wished he could overturn the carriage.
"You received the blessing of the Mountain Goddess, surely you don't realize it yet?"
Lin Anniang looked strange; she had never seen anyone so fierce.
How could the green leaves of the Mountain Goddess be thrown away so easily? They would only disappear after the blessing was finished!
Zhongheng instinctively opened his mouth wide.
"Feel it carefully, and you will understand." Lin Anniang didn't explain too much, nor did she ask what abilities the other party had gained.
Zhongheng was excited for a long time before he calmed down and carefully felt it. His eyes lit up instantly.
"Madam An, I'm going out to take a look!"
With that, he jumped out as well.
The group of men in the carriage next door: "???"
What is Brother Zhong doing? Is it a contest to see who can jump the most times? Or have bandits appeared again?
Everyone looked for a long time but couldn't see it, and were completely confused.
However, when they turned around again, they were all dumbfounded, because their Brother Zhong had run faster than the carriage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Not only that, Zhongheng was able to run back and meet them again.
Accompanied by ooh-ooh-ooh sounds, a group of men watched in astonishment as their elder brother darted around like a monkey.
Lin Anniang rubbed her temples, pretending not to have seen anything. She absolutely refused to admit that this person was also a follower of the Mountain Goddess!
After an unknown amount of time, Zhongheng jumped in through the window, his face beaming with joy.
"Madam An, did you see that? My speed has become incredibly fast; even a thoroughbred horse can't keep up with me!"
"I just went into the mountains and stole some pine cones that the tree rats had hidden. Want a handful?"
Zhongheng took out his bundle.
Lin Anniang: "..."
