What does it mean that a crime does not warrant death?
Why should she risk her brother's life to atone for their family's mistakes?
If you want to save someone, why not risk your own life?
She was so annoyed by this thought that she still wasn't going to let her off the hook!
Tao Lian already harbors hatred towards me. If I let him go, he will become the second Tao Xiangya!
Bai Chengye also saw Lin Ru's concerns, and he understood that these concerns were valid!
He then revealed his next plan!
"Ru'er! Let him go this time, and let them fend for themselves for the rest of the journey!"
"We will not take any members of the Tao family with us!"
"If my second son and his two brothers, Mingkuai and Mingle, want to follow the Tao family, I won't stop them. I'll just pretend I don't have these sons and grandsons. After all, I have quite a few sons, so I won't miss one or two who are not clear-headed!"
"Don't worry, Grandfather keeps his word, and he will absolutely not share even a single thing you worked so hard to get with them!"
Bai Qiang also took out the crumpled divorce letter from his pocket!
He had been writing the letter of divorce for a long time, but he hadn't had the heart to show it, always thinking of giving her another chance, but now it seemed there was no need for that!
This is a good opportunity to settle things once and for all!
The two brothers, Bai Mingkuai and Bai Mingle, were also filled with sorrow!
On one side are their loving maternal grandparents and their mother, and on the other side is their mother, whose mind has already strayed!
Although he knew this day would come, he didn't expect it to come so suddenly!
Lin Ru didn't care about their inner turmoil, but secretly glanced at the retreating villagers behind her!
Under their cover, the elderly, women, and children had already taken the more valuable items from the carriage and hidden them in the dense forest behind it. The water and food were also taken and hidden by the Wu people!
I feel a little more at ease!
Even if a fight breaks out, she won't waste all the things she worked so hard to get, especially the water!
If I spill all of this water, which I finally managed to get, I'll have no excuse to keep adding more spiritual spring water to the bucket every day!
Meanwhile, the bandits on the other side wished they had a handful of sunflower seeds in their hands right now. Their entire stronghold was full of grown men, and they hadn't seen such a melodramatic scene in a long time!
This is even more exciting than what's written in the storybooks, and more dramatic and hilarious than what the storyteller tells!
For a moment, they all forgot why they came here!
It wasn't until they saw Lin Ru's arrow aimed at them again that they realized they had come to rescue people, not to watch a show!
Gao Du and Zhang Tiedan exchanged a glance, both seeing disdain in each other's eyes!
Seeing that his granddaughter had taken his words to heart, Bai Chengye felt a little relieved.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do either!
Just then, when the situation became extremely tense and the two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, Zhang Tiedan suddenly spoke up: "Hey! You haven't given that divorce letter to this mentally ill woman yet!"
"You're not going to back out of your money, are you?"
"A real man isn't someone who can't live without a woman, especially not one who's mentally unstable and can't think straight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent!
Bai Qiang pointed at himself with a finger in disbelief!
Are you talking about me?
Zhang Tiedan pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Yeah, it was you. Who else could I say was there, and who was holding the divorce papers and had a wife with a screw loose? Wasn't that you? What were you thinking when you married her?"
"Are you attracted to her because her family is rich, or because they have power, or because you think her whole family is crazy?"
"Hurry up and give her that letter of divorce. Look at it, it's all crumpled and wrinkled, you can tell she takes it out to look at it all the time! What are you still clinging to for a woman like that?"
"Hurry up and give it to us so we can get down to business!"
Gao Du chimed in from the side!
"Yes, hurry up and give it to me, you're really delaying our business!"
"Stop beating around the bush like a woman. Do you want to give me a knife or not? Just kill her already!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Ru suddenly felt that what she had just heard—that they had overslept because they drank at noon and missed the best time to ambush—wasn't so far-fetched after all!
They've already pulled out their knives, they're just about to start fighting, why are they still thinking about being bystanders?
Besides, they are enemies now, so why should they care about the feelings of their enemy!
This is absolutely outrageous!
She was a little curious about who their boss was, that he could actually recruit these two brilliant and promising talents!
However, she was more inclined to believe that the two were stalling for time, because she heard that hundreds more people were coming!
When that time comes, the situation will be very unfavorable for me!
She wanted to subdue these two brilliant and promising talents before those people arrived!
I just hope that she and Wu Ling can both succeed, so that a lot of unnecessary casualties can be reduced!
Lin Ru smiled as she put the arrow away, then looked at Gao Du and Zhang Tiedan.
"My two brave warriors! I am truly sorry, but a traitor has appeared in the village, disturbing you!"
"I'm sorry you two had to see this funny. I had no idea why you came here!"
"We are just a group of ordinary people, and we only know some hunting skills. We are not as powerful as that traitor said!"
"So we don't pose any threat to you. Why don't you go about your business and we'll just stay here quietly and not interfere with each other?"
Gao Du and Zhang Tiedan then turned their gazes away from Bai Qiang!
Seeing the little girl's smiling face, they felt a little uneasy for some reason!
Zhang Tiedan chuckled and spoke first!
"You little brat, you're good at talking nonsense. This is hardly hunting skill."
"You're so young, yet you can kill with every arrow without even needing to be released!"
"They must have started training from a very young age!"
"Moreover, the people behind you are not ordinary villagers at all. Look at the way they move their feet; it's obvious they have martial arts skills. And their positions are arranged in a very orderly manner!"
"If I'm not mistaken, these people must have been trained from a young age, and the leader must be well-versed in military strategy!"
Gao Du also chimed in with a grin!
"Yes! We didn't intend to do anything, we just wanted to borrow your place!"
"But we've just met, how can we trust that you won't stab us in the back? How about this!"
"Join us and work with us!"
"We guarantee you'll live the high life!"
"What do you think, little girl?"
