Chapter 196 That's My Wife
A boy wanders through the mountain village.
His expression was slightly conflicted, and he was holding a black, dog-like animal in his arms.
If you look closely, you'll see that what he's holding isn't a dog, but a wolf cub!
At that moment, several dark figures flashed through the shadows, and one of them swept past the boy and took him away with him.
They only released the boy when they reached a deserted place.
"Who are you?"
The boy stared at the person who asked the question, without saying a word.
Do you know where the people who were abducted and taken to the mountains are being held?
The boy continued to watch without saying a word.
Are you a bandit?
The boy remained silent.
Seeing this, Chen Yongnian stopped the others from asking any more questions, saying, "He seems unable to speak."
The little monkey looked up at the man and nodded.
Chen Yongnian saw the child as a potential breakthrough, so he squatted down and asked gently, "Are you from the mountain stronghold? You can answer by nodding or shaking your head."
The little monkey stared at him, slightly hesitant, as if it didn't understand the question.
Someone nearby looked on anxiously, "Brother Yongnian, forget about this child, let's go find the person who was arrested!"
You can't get anything out of a mute person.
But Chen Yongnian doesn't think so.
My wife once advised me to think things through carefully.
It's unusual for a child to appear in a bandit's den, let alone for the child to be able to move around freely.
More importantly, after being led by a stranger for a while, he wasn't afraid at all when he was let go.
If the child was abducted to the mountain, he wouldn't have reacted this way.
As everyone knows, there are no women on Lianshan Mountain!
Where did this child come from?
While things were at a stalemate on one side, Wan Qiqi found the bandits' kitchen on the other.
People need to eat and drink, and food is an important source of spiritual support.
Even though the fighting was fierce, they still had to start fires and cook to keep the bandits energized.
Therefore, targeting the kitchen is undoubtedly the best option.
Burning down the kitchen or destroying the food were both shameful acts, so Wan Qiqi chose to do it in the cooking water.
Even if a packet of sleeping pills doesn't knock these people out, it can still reduce the bandits' fighting strength, making it easier for the people below the mountain to attack.
Or perhaps the bandits were once ordinary people, kind and righteous individuals, but now they have gone down the wrong path and must pay the price.
Almost every night, Wan Qiqi dreams of the village burning down, the blood everywhere, and the charred townspeople.
The entire village was wiped out; not a single person survived.
This brutality has left Lianshan Village with no place to stand, and it is impossible for it to continue.
Because they have threatened the interests of the government, the authority of the imperial court, and social order.
After administering the drug, Wan Qiqi immediately moved upwards and backwards.
Although Wu Gousheng was watching the cave, Wan Qiqi did not believe that he had the ability to make these young masters and ladies obey him.
Halfway there, she suddenly heard the howling of wolves and immediately stopped.
Damn, there are wolves?
She hid in the bushes and listened carefully for a while, and found that the voice sounded weak and childlike, unlike that of an adult wolf.
There is no threat if it is not an adult wolf.
Wan Qiqi got up and prepared to continue walking towards the back mountain, but then she heard a male voice and immediately stopped.
Did the bandits discover they had escaped and search their stronghold?
"Don't waste time, finding the person is the priority."
"That's right, we can't get anything out of this little mute. He won't say anything, so we can't waste any more time!"
"If we delay any longer, the bandits will be back soon!"
Listening to the conversation, Wan Qiqi felt that they didn't seem like bandits.
But having been schemed against by Geng Laosan so much lately, she doesn't quite believe these conversations and suspects they are meant to lure her out.
After all, Geng Laosan would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Moreover, she had seen that apart from the mountain gate, there was no other place to sneak into the mountain village unless one had modern rock climbing equipment.
"Brother Yongnian, hurry up and let's go! I just heard from the bandits that they released wolves in the front mountain and caused heavy casualties. If we don't hurry, there won't be any time left!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongnian's face darkened, and his gaze fell on the little monkey's hand.
If he wasn't mistaken, this should be a wolf cub!
If the adult wolf has wolf cubs in its hands, it will not act rashly.
The little monkey seemed to realize Chen Yongnian's thoughts and ran away.
"Ugh~" He hadn't run two steps when he bumped into a soft body and fell to the ground with a thud. The wolf cub slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.
"Awoo~" the wolf cub cried out in a cutesy voice, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.
Then, a slender hand grabbed the wolf cub by the neck and lifted it up, before reaching out to help the person who had fallen.
The little monkey looked up, a hint of surprise in its expression.
"Did you hurt yourself when you fell?"
Wan Qiqi's voice was very gentle, just like how she usually treated Pingping and An'an.
Chen Yongnian froze on the spot when he saw that familiar face, and his eyes gradually reddened and his body trembled because of that familiar voice.
The people who were with him did not know Wan Qiqi, nor had they ever seen her before.
Judging from her clothes and her interaction with the little mute boy, one would assume that Wan Qiqi is from a mountain stronghold.
"Isn't it said... there are no women in the mountain stronghold..."
Why are there women and children here?
Could it be Xia Shan Hu or Geng Lao San's wife and children?
Chen Yongnian chuckled and said, "That's my wife."
"Your...your wife?"
Everyone was completely stunned.
Didn't they say that Chen Yongnian's wife, Chen Wanshi, was running a business at home?
How did they end up in the mountain stronghold, dressed as bandits?
