Just as Lai Tou was about to respond, he suddenly saw a group of people appearing not far away. They looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them before.
"Boss, look, it's that group of people." The bald man suddenly remembered that these were the same group that had gone over in the afternoon, the kind of people you couldn't mess with.
No, several hours have passed, why are we still here?
Is this a return trip after completing the task? Or...?
The leader was also shocked to see this.
"Boss, what should we do? Should we retreat or not?" Qu Ba's voice changed.
"What a spineless coward," the leader cursed inwardly, but said calmly, "What's the panic?" Then he watched as the six men slowly rode their horses toward them.
The leader cursed inwardly, but he had already begun to analyze the situation. Observing the six people on horseback, they seemed to have no connection with the donkey cart. However, that didn't mean they wouldn't meddle and intervene to help those in need.
He figured that if that were the case, he and his two underlings would have no choice but to accept their bad luck and retreat.
But perhaps they don't want to cause trouble?
Hong Xiaoduo felt a real sense of relief when she saw the six people.
That person is narcissistic and unlikable, but in this situation, surely he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing?
Putting aside the uncertainty of whether Brother Dong had mentioned her or knew her, at the very least, she had treated her to meat buns!
When Tian Shu saw the people over there, he wasn't sure if they would lend a helping hand, since his mother's attitude towards him hadn't been very good before.
Mu Zitao, who was riding his horse slowly over, was focused on the little girl who had embarrassed him and then repeatedly ignored him.
You could tell from her face what her reaction was when she saw him and his men; she was clearly confident that he wouldn't stand idly by!
Heh, so confident? You're dreaming! If you don't beg me, I won't help you at all!
When they were a few dozen meters away from Hong Xiaoduo and the others, Mu Zitao reined in his horse and stopped, and his five men had no choice but to stop as well.
At that moment, the scene was a bit... eerie, but not exactly strange.
"Hey baldhead, what are you standing there for? Let's do it!" The gang leader angrily cursed at his underlings, inwardly swearing as well.
Isn't that right? Since I started doing this job, I've encountered situations where I need to handle things. I've seen people passing by, but basically, there are two situations: First, they're afraid of getting involved, so they quickly run away.
The second option is to keep your eyes straight ahead, pretend you're deaf and dumb, and continue on your way.
I've never encountered a situation like this before, and there are even onlookers? This has really caught this experienced old robber off guard!
"Yes." When the leader spoke, the bald man realized that the group wouldn't get involved in this matter. Indeed, anyone with a bit of sense would naturally stay out of it if it didn't concern them.
Those chivalrous people who stand up for justice and fight injustice do exist, but they are extremely rare!
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the narcissist among the six people and saw him sitting on his horse with a half-smile, showing no intention of offering to help.
Good heavens, how could Brother Dong befriend someone like that? Hong Xiaoduo was truly speechless. This grandma just won't do as you wish. If you're so capable, then really don't make a move later.
She wasn't being stubborn or irrational; she knew that if they wanted to help, they would do so even without her asking.
After all, in this situation, human life is at stake and it's no small matter.
In fact, she didn't have time to think any further. Seeing the man called "Lai Tou" carrying a knife and walking towards the donkey cart, she got anxious and shouted, "You bastard, how dare you?" She raised her hand and flicked a pebble the size of a fingernail towards the man's back of the leg.
"Watch out, you bald guy," the gang leader warned, but it was too late.
The bald man let out a scream and knelt on one knee. He tried to stand up by sticking his knife into the ground, but after struggling several times, he failed and fell to the ground, clutching his knee.
The bandit leader was surprised that this young woman, who showed no signs of martial arts, had crippled his men with a single move. He was so powerful that he immediately became cautious.
He gripped the hilt of the knife, twisting his wrist left and right, creating a flourish. The sound of the blade whistling filled the air as he executed thrusting, slashing, and chopping techniques, charging fiercely towards Hong Xiaoduo.
Upon seeing the robber's knife skills, Mu Zitao and his group knew that his knife skills were top-notch, and that they had underestimated him!
Everyone was startled, including Mu Zitao. He had already taken his feet off the stirrups, ready to make a move at any moment.
However, what happened next took them by surprise.
Hong Xiaoduo watched as the gang leader brandished his broadsword, charging fiercely towards her with murderous intent. At that moment, she thought she would tremble with fear, but she didn't. A thought popped into her mind: What's there to be afraid of? So what if I die? Maybe if I die here, this so-called time-travel experience will end, and I can return to where I originally was.
He drew his sword from his waist and went to meet them.
The gang leader didn't care at this point. The other party was a woman, so what was wrong with killing her? He was a robber, not a good person to begin with, so he didn't care about anything else.
Those who talk to him about morality are untouchable, even the elderly, weak, women, and children; how could they possibly become robbers?
He approached, raised his knife, and slashed diagonally at the young woman in front of him, intending to cut her in two.
This case is rather unusual. He finally found a suitable target, but misjudged him, and the woman crippled his men right away, while others watched the spectacle. Therefore, he would rather be mocked by onlookers for being so ruthless towards a young woman than lose to her and be laughed at by them; that would be a great disgrace.
