"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry... Our family has caused you trouble..." Zhao Hong apologized to the group of people repeatedly, feeling very embarrassed.
He insisted on walking in front, clearing the way for everyone.
It was his son's mistake that caused others to suffer as well, and Zhao Hong felt very embarrassed.
But for his son's life, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask for help.
Although Niu Lao Er's words were harsh, he was, after all, a filial son who couldn't stand seeing an old man like Zhao Hong doing all the work in front of him, so he insisted on taking turns clearing the way with him.
…
After walking for a while, the group saw that the trees in front of them were very tall, like ancient trees that had been growing for hundreds of years. The huge shade of the trees blocked out much of the sky above, leaving only a little bit of blue and white clouds through the gaps.
The woods were very quiet, with only the continuous chirping of birds and cicadas, mixed with the somewhat rough breathing of a few people.
"Stop, stop!" When Lin Wanyue's soft, childlike voice suddenly rang out, the Niu brothers and Zhao Hong immediately became alert.
"What's wrong?" The three people looked at her, and Old Niu asked in a low voice, "Wanwan, what's going on up ahead... is something wrong?"
Meanwhile, Lin Wanyue was listening to Little Pink Butterfly's words.
“I see him.” The little pink butterfly fluttered down from a high branch and told Lin Wanyue, “Those bandits are just ahead. I haven’t seen this man’s son yet. You wait here for a while, I’ll go take a look.”
Lin Wanyue counted on her fingers again and confirmed that Zhao Hong's son, Zhao Youtie, was also in the position ahead.
It probably fell into the hands of those bandits.
"There are a lot of bad guys ahead, they're bandits. Be careful, you can't go any further," Lin Wanyue warned.
Upon hearing that bandits were ahead, fear appeared on the faces of all three men.
"Ah... what should we do then?" Both Niu Lao Da and Niu Lao Er asked Lin Wanyue for advice.
Zhao Hong was more worried about his son: "Little immortal, is my son still alive? Can I... bring him back?"
"Grandpa Zhao, don't worry." Lin Wanyue couldn't promise Zhao Hong anything, so she could only say to him, "Now that we've found the person, let's think of a solution slowly."
"Okay, brother, you take good care of Wanwan. I'll go check how many people there are. If there aren't many, the three of us will bring Brother Zhao back... If there are many, we'll go get reinforcements!"
At this moment, Boss Niu was quite responsible, lifting Lin Wanyue off his shoulders and placing her in his younger brother's hands.
"Okay, brother, be careful." Niu Lao Er caught Lin Wanyue and said with a worried expression.
"I know." Niu Da held a sharp wood-chopping knife in one hand and crept forward stealthily.
However, just as he was about to approach, Lin Wanyue called him back.
The little pink butterfly has brought her the latest information.
“Brother Niu, don’t go. There are ten of them,” Lin Wanyue said.
"So many people? How are we supposed to handle that? I think we should hurry down the mountain and go to the village to call for help!" Although Niu Laoda and Niu Laoer didn't know how Lin Wanyue had figured it out.
I clearly didn't see her pinching her fingers just now.
But they believed every word Lin Wanyue said without the slightest doubt!
There were actually ten bandits in the group!
Even Zhao Hong, who was desperate to save his son, knew that it was like throwing an egg against a rock if the three of them, armed with machetes and carrying a child, tried to go and rescue him.
Forget about saving lives, it's just wasting eggs!
“Alright.” He nodded in agreement. “Brothers of the Niu family, I’ll trouble you to take the little immortal back and call for help. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on them. I will not make any rash moves.”
“You…” Niu Lao Da and Niu Lao Er were a little worried. This old man might rush out to save his son, so they thought of taking him down the mountain with him.
At this moment, Lin Wanyue said to them, "You don't need to go down the mountain. The few of you can rescue Brother Zhao."
"Really? We don't seem to have that much strength... Wanwan, I heard your father seems to have the ability to fight tigers. Is there some secret technique he can pass on to me?" Niu Lao Er looked at Lin Wanyue with excitement.
Lin Wanyue: "..."
Even if you do know, you'll have to ask my dad to tell you!
With her tiny arms and short legs, she needs to be carried up a mountain. If she wants to learn the secrets of tiger fighting, she might as well consider being reborn as Wu Song in her next life!
"Brother Niu." Lin Wanyue turned her face away, deliberately ignoring Niu Lao Er's pleading gaze, and said to Niu Lao Da, "Later, try your best to run over and attract their attention, but don't hurt yourselves. Just run faster than them. Leave the rest of the bandits to me!"
Lin Wanyue patted her small chest.
"Alright! I'll go now." Boss Niu grabbed his machete and rushed out again.
Since Lin Wanyue has made the arrangements, we can't go wrong by listening to her.
When Little Pink Butterfly saw Lin Wanyue nod at her, she grabbed Laifu, who was trying to slack off, and flew over with him.
As a ghost, its speed of flight was much faster than that of a mortal like Boss Niu, and it quickly arrived at the bandits' hideout.
A group of bandits together is no different from a group of savages.
They were too lazy to even build a house, so they made a makeshift shack between a few trees using a few planks of wood, and they actually managed to live there.
Not far away, there was a ring of feces, and the stench was overwhelming.
And this group of people just ate their food amidst the stench as if nothing was wrong.
