There's movement!
Behind a small hill not far away, four men were walking towards Ning'an Village.
All four of them were dressed in clean clothes without a single patch, and two of them even had longevity locks and silver chains hanging from their bodies.
Despite the sweltering summer heat, they didn't seem to mind, wearing clothes suitable for all four seasons.
One of them was leading an ox, which was pulling a cart full of goods behind it, with clothes and grain piled up like a small mountain.
"That village is so poor! They could only get this little bit of stuff! My hands are still sore from all the chopping! A bunch of stubborn mushers. If I'd known there was so little, I wouldn't have bothered robbing them! I would have just burned them all down and burned them to death!" The man at the front muttered as he walked.
"Exactly! There isn't even a single pretty woman among them. Just looking at those ugly women makes me want to vomit." Another person said with a look of disgust.
"Brother, don't be angry. Didn't we hear that there's a village here that's much richer than the others? Let's go take a look, before someone else snatches it up first." The dark-skinned, thin man was the most clever of the four. He was the only one who put the thick clothes in his bundle instead of wearing whatever he could find like the other brothers.
It's so hot today. Wearing thick clothes will only make it hotter.
Unfortunately, these people were all extremely poor. They had finally managed to come down the mountain to rob someone, and they wanted to display any valuable item they saw on their person, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't see it.
But apart from these few brothers who knew them well, almost everyone else who saw them was killed by them.
Little Pink Butterfly put Lin Wanyue down, and the two hid in the bushes nearby. They overheard the conversation of these people and determined their identities.
And judging from what they said, they probably intend to go to Ning'an Village this time!
After all, Ning'an Village is the only village in the vicinity that can be considered relatively wealthy.
"Wanbao, hide first. I'll go take care of them." Little Pink Butterfly rolled up her sleeves, a sinister smile already appearing on her face.
"Little Pink Butterfly, you have to be careful." Lin Wanyue had no doubt about Little Pink Butterfly's ferocity, but was worried that she might lose control and kill someone.
That would be difficult to explain to the underworld.
"I know." The little pink butterfly nodded, but had already dashed off in the blink of an eye.
The four bandits were sweating profusely from the heat. After walking over a small hill, they felt a gentle breeze that made them feel much cooler.
"Ouch, that hurts!" A charming female voice drifted over on the wind.
The four bandits stared wide-eyed at the beautiful voice and rushed forward in a hurry.
Sure enough, not far away, a girl dressed in a long silk dress was seen, revealing her snow-white shoulders and her voluptuous white breasts that were dazzling. Further down, there was her slender waist and the girl's fair hands pressing on her ankles.
Even her twisted ankle was snow-white and slender, with only a hint of light red showing at the toes, making her look like a fairy who had fallen from the clouds.
These four bandits had clearly eaten a large meal when they left the previous village, but at this moment they all made swallowing noises in unison.
They weren't hungry in their stomachs, but other parts of the body were starving even more!
They were all just native villagers, and even though they had become bandits in the mountains, they had slept with several women.
But they had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
The light and thin silk fabrics shimmered like water under the sunlight, and the pearls and gold adorning her dark hair swayed with her movements.
"Sha—Sha—"
"Beauty, beauty, are you alright?" The bandit leader was the first to rush over, his eyes fixed on every inch of the beautiful girl's skin.
The other bandits followed, but they were somewhat afraid of their leader and didn't dare to show it as obviously as he did.
These men were greedy and lustful, seemingly never imagining that such a beautiful woman could possibly appear in such a desolate place.
The girl raised her eyes, her gaze brimming with a pitiful and endearing look, and said, "I was born a young lady from the capital, but I didn't want to be framed by my own sisters and now I'm stranded in this desolate village... If any of you can rescue me, I will repay you with my body."
These few ignorant bandits were already wide-eyed and excited the moment they saw her.
If they could win this young lady's heart... wouldn't that mean they would have a chance to become important figures in the capital in the future?
The slightest fear the other bandits had of their leader vanished instantly.
"Miss! Let me carry you, I'm strong, I'll carry you." A bandit rushed forward to fawn over him, even shoving the bandit leader next to him aside.
The bandit leading the ox quickly stepped forward: "Miss, it's too tiring to be carried like this. Why don't you ride in the oxcart? It's very comfortable."
The quick-witted, thin, dark-skinned man had the most ideas: "You two, stop fighting! Let's hurry up and help Miss send her back. Even if we can't marry Miss, the rest of us will definitely live a good life."
"Mmm." The young lady smiled approvingly, nodded, and said almost seductively, "That's right. As long as you take me to the village ahead, I can make sure you all live a good life."
"Alright, alright! We'll take you there right away." The four bandits readily agreed, placing the beautiful and delicate young lady on the most important oxcart, and then escorting her towards Ning'an Village.
But without their own knowledge, their eyes gradually became glazed and lost their sparkle.
…
This place was not too far from Ning'an Village.
They hadn't walked far.
The four of them had already reached the outskirts of the village.
They were discovered by Lin Zheyun, who was on patrol, along with several children.
"Attention everyone!" Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu, worried that their second brother would rush forward, shouted at the top of their lungs, "Bandits are coming! Bandits are coming!"
The villagers, whose nerves were already on edge, would instinctively look for weapons at the mere mention of the word "bandits," whether it was a machete in their hand, a stick they picked up, or a stone they randomly picked up from the ground.
They all rushed to the place where the children were shouting.
Sure enough, they saw four bandits carrying knives and leading a cow as they walked towards their village.
"Damn it...it really is bandits! Quickly, get the women and children to hide! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" the villagers shouted in a panic.
"Wait a minute." Lin Weiming keenly sensed that the four people's movements seemed a bit off. "No need to hide yet. There are only four of them! With so many of us, surely we can handle them?"
