The bandits are coming!
Su Liuer immediately pulled Wang Po and ran away. The kitchen was very close to the back door, and as long as they ran out, they could use the donkey cart to escape!
Su Liuer rushed out of the back door and exclaimed in her heart, "Shit."
Damn, the back door is blocked!
There weren't many people, just two bandits holding big swords, but they were bandits, so no one dared to rush out.
Su Liuer pulled Wang Po back and hid in the crowd. Old Donkey Head and his son also squatted obediently by the wall.
Fortunately, Old Donkey Head was smart and did not resist the bandits. Su Liuer didn't want to go out to do business and endanger other people's lives.
"All the women, get in! All the men, get out and squat with them! Quick, quick!"
Su Liu'er and Wang Pozi obediently followed the crowd back into the door. At this time, some of the bandits who came in from the front yard had already come to the back yard. When they saw the men who had not left, they started beating them up.
However, no one was killed.
All the men were thrown out, and the women in the front yard were also driven to the backyard.
"Stop arguing! I'll cut off your tongues if you keep arguing!" A tall and strong bandit roared at the crying women, waving a bigger knife in his hand than the other bandits'.
Everyone immediately fell silent. Everyone was afraid of having their tongues cut off, so they covered their mouths and dared not make a sound.
In addition to women, there were also children. The children cried because they were scared, and their mothers covered their mouths to prevent them from crying out loud.
The thing that Su Liuer was most grateful for at this moment was that she didn't bring Zhu Hongan with her!
Su Liuer couldn't estimate the number of bandits. She had only seen two people outside the back door and three people in the yard. She didn't know how many others there were.
She could only wait and see what these bandits were going to do.
-
After some people were released safely, Su Liuer understood the intentions of these bandits. They really came to rob people. They cleverly controlled the women and children and let other bandits take the men to their homes one by one to get money to redeem them.
This is just a small village. Men don't have multiple wives and concubines, nor do they have countless children. No one would choose to give up his wife and children for money.
My wife and children are gone, what can I do with the money left behind?
So the bandits' actions went smoothly, and the crowd in the yard gradually shrank until there were less than ten people left. These people, like Su Liuer, came from other villages to work on today's wedding banquet.
Who knew such a misfortune would happen?
I never thought I would need to carry money to redeem myself! After searching everyone's pockets, I found less than two hundred copper coins.
"Second in command, what should we do with these people?" The tall and strong bandit asked a thin man beside him with a puzzled look.
This thin man is very short and looks like a monkey, but Su Liuer can see that his fighting ability is not lower than that of the strong man next to him.
"Tsk, are you sure you have no money left? This little money is not enough to buy all your lives!" The thin man bit a straw and said in an annoyed tone. As a bandit, the boss actually didn't allow him to kill anyone.
It’s really uncomfortable!
At this moment, a frightened cook knelt down in shock and said, "She has money! I clearly saw the Ning family's steward give her silver! It was silver!"
Su Liuer: Damn...
What a stupid teammate!
The fact that these bandits haven't killed anyone yet means they only want to rob people for money, not their lives. If they can't get any more money, they'll leave. Just wait a little longer!
As a result, one of the people who stayed behind happened to meet the manager settling the remaining balance for Su Liuer.
The three bandits in the yard all turned their eyes to Su Liuer.
