Seeing this, Lin Qixia finally let go of her.
"Since you know you're wrong, then go back and reflect on it," Lin Qixia said coldly to her.
"Okay!" Xue Yuchan quickly replied.
After that, he got up, clutched his arm, and stumbled away as fast as he could.
As for Zhao Dazhuang and the others who disagreed with Lin Qixia, they were all silent at this moment, afraid that Lin Qixia would suddenly turn her attention to them, and they were too scared to shout and criticize her.
Lin Qixia stretched leisurely and turned to face the group of villagers, led by Chen Jin, who were all looking shocked.
"Alright, let's begin our drill now~" she said, picking up the knife from the ground and twirling it deftly.
He maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
Chen Jin then suppressed his surprise and responded to Lin Qixia with respect and admiration: "Yes! Miss Lin!"
The other villagers also took their knives and focused on preparing to do as Lin Qixia instructed.
For the next three days, Lin Qixia spent most of her time training with them here.
They also discussed strategies for dealing with the bandits, and time flew by.
Soon, the day arrived for the night raid on the bandits' hideout.
"Thank you for your care these past few days, Miss Lin. My Xue Cheng is almost fully recovered."
That day, Liu Yinghong said gratefully to Lin Qixia, "Now that his condition is stable, I can finally relax and go up the mountain with you."
"That's good." Lin Qixia replied without surprise.
In the past three days, in addition to training with them, Lin Qixia also went to the Xue family to give him injections and treatment.
She also healed Xue Yuchan's arm and would occasionally give her a good whack, just like she had done to Lin Jiudong.
She has now been disciplined and is locked up by Liu Yinghong for three days.
She would remain locked up for some time afterward, and Lin Qixia even personally instructed Xue Yang to keep an eye on his sister.
In particular, make sure she doesn't escape while you're suppressing the bandits.
After all, Lin Qixia didn't want her plans to be ruined.
"Tonight is the night we go up the mountain. Is everyone ready?" Lin Qixia asked everyone as she stood in front of the group.
"Ready!"
"Miss Lin! Let's set off quickly!"
Among the group, Chen Jin shouted the loudest, and everyone else was also full of enthusiasm.
Moreover, he is completely different from the disorganized and undisciplined person he was three days ago.
Lin Xiao and Huo Yanqing were also among them, especially Huo Yanqing, whose youthful temperament was sharp and whose presence was strong despite his low-key demeanor.
Lin Qixia was very satisfied. "Great! Now that everyone is ready, let's go!"
As soon as she announced it, everyone responded and grabbed their gear to set off.
On the night they set off, many other villagers also came out to watch the excitement.
Do you really think they can bring the grain back?
"Yeah, if we can really get it back, wouldn't we be at a huge loss if we didn't go?"
Seeing how confident Chen Jin and his group seemed, some people began to hesitate and regret their decision.
However, Zhao Dazhuang suddenly retorted, "Bullshit! You'll only be at a disadvantage if you go with them!"
"Those are ruthless bandits who kill without blinking an eye. They might even lose their lives. Are you really willing to take that risk?"
After he said this, the villagers all fell silent.
Zhao Dazhuang is right. They are all farmers who grow crops, and ordinary people who just want to survive and live a good life.
On the contrary, those who dare to confront the bandits head-on are the ones who break with convention and risk their lives.
If it weren't for Lin Qixia's instigation, so many people wouldn't have followed her.
But can Lin Qixia really succeed?
This is probably a very slim chance.
"Ayu, what do you think?" Li Pei asked Gu Ciyu in a low voice, as Gu Ciyu was also standing in the crowd.
Gu Ciyu shook her head slightly, "Although I don't want to admit it, Zhao Dazhuang is right."
Lin Qixia was leading those people to their deaths.
"Hehe, just watch, by then their families won't even have time to collect their bodies!" Zhao Dazhuang said happily after hearing Gu Ciyu's words.
Gu Ciyu glanced at him indifferently, her brows furrowing slightly.
No matter what, she didn't want to associate with someone like Zhao Dazhuang.
“Let’s go,” she said to Li Pei, turning and leaving.
Li Pei followed her and realized she wasn't heading home, so he simply asked her, "Where are we going?"
As Gu Ciyu walked back, she said, "Of course we went to report to the authorities and asked them to send people to stop them. We can't let those people be killed by Lin Qixia."
Those people were all bewitched by Lin Qixia, so even though Gu Ciyu had tried to persuade them in the past few days, she couldn't change their minds at all.
That was all she could do.
Upon hearing this, Li Pei paused slightly, then chuckled, "Alright."
Sure enough, Gu Ciyu was the kindest girl he had ever met.
...
Twenty miles away from Xiahe Village, in the mountains, Lin Qixia's team had already entered the heart of the mountains.
The night was deep, the dew was heavy, and the mountain air was biting cold.
"Are you...are you sure this is the direction?"
At the front of the line, Lin Jiudong, holding Lin Qixia's arm, asked in a trembling voice.
Lin Qixia was helpless. Ever since they entered the mountains, Lin Jiudong had never let go of her arm.
"I already had someone investigate, it's definitely true!" Lin Qixia said confidently.
In fact, she used the system's location function to pinpoint her location.
Lin Qixia herself did not expect that the bandits' hideout was so close to Lichong County, right on this mountain that stands on the dividing line between Qishan County and Lichong County.
Of course, it wasn't easy to tell them directly about the system's existence, so Lin Qixia used this excuse to brush them off.
Lin Jiudong: "Really? Then how come—how come we've been walking for so long and haven't arrived yet?"
"We'll be there soon, can you be quiet?" Lin Qixia was getting a little impatient with her question.
I even regretted bringing her along.
The original intention was to take this opportunity to toughen her up, since Lin Jiudong is too timid.
But precisely because of this, Lin Qixia now finds her to be a nuisance.
"Oh." Lin Jiudong was very obedient this time and shut up.
[Warning to the host! The destination is one kilometer ahead!]
A short while later, a system notification sounded in my mind.
Lin Qixia then stopped and gestured for everyone to stop.
The line behind her immediately stopped.
Lin Jiudong asked Lin Qixia anxiously, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"No," Lin Qixia replied speechlessly.
Fearing that her words would affect the morale of the team, she turned to the others and said, "We've arrived. The bandits' lair is just ahead."
"That's great!" Chen Jin exclaimed excitedly.
At the same time, the others around him also started to make noise.
Lin Qixia immediately gestured for them to be quiet, "Quiet down!"
In an instant, everyone fell silent, and the surroundings became much quieter.
"Do you remember the 'battle plan' I made with you before?" Lin Qixia asked them in a low voice.
