The group walked for nearly half an hour and came out of the winding mountain road into a flat valley. The view suddenly opened up and Jiang Yue seemed to hear a woman's voice.
She looked up and saw a wooden sign with the words "Fengyun Village" in it.
We have arrived at the bandit’s lair.
The word "Fengyun" was so grand and majestic! But the word was not only huge but also ugly and extremely crude, just like the style of these bandits.
Jiang Yue was immersed in the memories of the Fengyun TV series she had watched before, when suddenly a sweet voice came over, "You're back!"
A young woman in pink cotton emerged, her waist twisted, her soft breasts pressed tightly against the boss's arm. Her dress was tailored to fit her body, accentuating her waist. Her face was powdered white, her lips painted red.
"Are you not hurt? I was so worried~" Her tender white hands stroked the boss's chest up and down.
Jiang Yue: Isn't this blatant seduction? This guy is shirtless, anyone with eyesight can tell if he's injured. And yet he still asks? And after asking, he touches her? He's taking advantage of her! This woman must have come from a prostitution house; her movements are so skillful.
But this is her feeling as a woman, and it is obvious that men have different preferences.
The other bandits behind him all fell for this trick, looking at their boss with envy, wishing they were the ones enjoying the gentle embrace.
But I don’t know if this boss was sexually apathetic, he was completely indifferent to the beauty throwing herself into his arms. Without even saying a word, he rudely pushed the person away and walked into the village.
The woman bit her lip and turned to see Jiang Yue behind her. Her eyes changed from aggrieved to vigilant, and she looked Jiang Yue up and down, her eyes becoming more fierce the more she looked at him.
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes at her, and seeing that she was blocking the road, he bumped into her without even saying "excuse me".
"Oh, why did you bump into someone?" The woman burst into tears and cried out of grievance. Many men came to comfort her.
Jiang Yue touched her shoulder. Jiang Nian thought she was in pain and asked nervously, "Did it hurt?"
She shook her head, not looking back at the woman who had fallen to the ground after being lightly bumped by her. She touched her shoulder because it felt like she had bumped into a piece of tofu, so soft and fragile.
The village's gate was made of wood and surrounded by a fence, with gatekeepers on both sides. Inside the village, there were only a few wooden houses, and the rest were caves.
When the group returned, not only did they not bring back any spoils of victory, but more than a dozen brothers were killed and they also brought the enemy back with them.
Many people came out of the cave and stared at them curiously. Jiang Yue looked around and saw that there were no elderly people among them, but there were quite a few women and children. However, the majority were men.
There are probably about three hundred people here in total.
Judging by the current population, this village is truly enormous. To be frank, it's even larger than the population of some prefectures that have suffered disasters.
The bandit leader led them into one of the wooden houses. It had the same layout as the one down the mountain, except for a bed and a set of tables and chairs. Judging by the workmanship and patterns, it must have been looted from down the mountain.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
Men are talking, and women should not interfere. He originally wanted to let the young lady wait outside, but he thought they would not be at ease, so he let her come in with him.
Anyway, this young lady doesn’t dare to speak, so just pretend she doesn’t exist.
"I'm a rough guy, so I won't waste any more time talking to you two. This is our temporary residence. If you're willing to join us, this cabin is yours. I'm always generous to powerful people."
Jiang Nian grasped the key words, "Temporary residence, what about the future?"
The bandit leader smiled lightly, "In the future? When we fight down the mountain, we'll have a bigger house to live in. If nothing unexpected happens, the most luxurious house in the world will be mine!"
This guy is quite confident.
Jiang Nian suddenly looked outside the house and heard soft footsteps.
A beautiful woman with a slender figure walked in. When she saw Jiang Nian and the others, she was stunned for a moment. After a subtle look, she smiled and spoke to the boss. Her voice was gentle, unlike the pretentious voice of the woman just now.
"Ah Hao, why didn't you tell me that there were guests?"
The boss wasn't hard-hearted at all this time. Facing this woman, he was actually very soft-hearted. There was a smile in his eyes, and his words were not harsh anymore. "Why should I tell you? We can talk about something. You don't need to be busy."
As he spoke, he took the tea from her hand and poured it for Jiang Yue and the other one.
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you guys while you're talking. I'll go out and ask them to prepare some good wine and food." The woman glared at him, her beautiful eyes full of charm.
The eldest brother, Ah Hao, said distressedly, "Just let them do it. Don't bother getting those things and dirty your hands."
Jiang Nian's eyebrows moved, and he turned sideways to Jiang Yue who was watching the show, and said, "Madam, since we are here as guests, we must bring gifts. Please take out the remaining mule meat in the backpack, and ask your sister-in-law to help us deal with it."
"good."
Jiang Yue turned the backpack at his feet so that it was blocked from view. She took out a quarter of the mule meat, about 40 to 50 kilograms.
She held the meat and handed it to the woman. Unexpectedly, she took it away effortlessly, saying happily as she walked away, "This meat is delicious. You just wait and eat it!"
Jiang Nian's words were almost like telling Ah Hao that he was a token of his loyalty. Now he was one of them. He said happily, "You even have mule meat. That's incredible!"
Jiang Nian smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I just came across it on the road and had it as a snack."
Ah Hao slammed the table. "Let's go hunting with the brothers tomorrow! Let's show you some wild game. There's plenty of game in these mountains! I tell you, if you follow us, you'll never have to worry about food! We'll have meat and vegetables, and if you're short of food, just go down the mountain and rob. Those soldiers are cowards. They can't beat us!"
Is this a test of skills and loyalty?
Jiang Nian was not intimidated at all. He raised his eyebrows and seemed very interested. "Okay."
That night, Jiang Nian and Ah Hao devoured their meat and drank wine with hearty mouthfuls. Jiang Yue did not join them, but sat silently on the bed, looking out the window.
The two men drank from dusk until the moon was at its highest point in the sky. They were drunk, their faces flushed, and they were arm in arm, calling each other brothers.
It wasn't over until the woman came and took Ah Hao away.
Jiang Yue made him a bowl of tea and frowned, "This is your first time drinking alcohol, and I don't know if it will be harmful to your health."
Jiang Nian finished his tea and lay down on the bed, covering his red forehead with the back of his hand. He felt hot all over, but he could still speak clearly, so there should be no problem.
"I'm fine. Be careful if you stay here alone tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I have space, nothing will happen. But you, don't fall into the trap."
"Um."
Jiang Yue leaned beside him and fanned him.
"I didn't expect to see her here."
