Chapter 139 Terrible Woman
After leaving the yamen, the two men said goodbye to Wang Tai, took the red deed and the remaining silver and money, and took a carriage back to Liulin Town.
Originally, both of them were in a good mood because they had bought a good property. However, as soon as they arrived at the edge of the town, their carriage was surrounded by a group of young men who came from nowhere.
They were holding sticks, pickaxes, shovels, axes and other objects in their hands, and one of them even pulled the driver off the carriage.
"If you know what's good for you, just squat here quietly. Don't talk too much and don't get in the way." The man grabbed the driver's hair and pressed him roughly, forcing him to squat on the spot.
The coachman grimaced in pain, but he was also afraid that this group of people would rob the carriage or hurt Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan who were in the carriage.
Although their carriage company is not responsible for the safety of its customers, if something happens to a customer while riding in their carriage, their business will be affected.
However, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan, who were startled by the noise outside the car, did not change their expressions at all.
Gu Wenxuan flexed her wrist while quickly observing how many people were at the scene, their respective strengths, and what weapons they carried.
When Gu Wenxuan found that no one was carrying long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, she immediately felt relieved.
She reached back with her right hand and took out an iron-wrapped wooden stick from the carriage. "You stay in the carriage. I'll take care of them."
Bai Jingzhou nodded in agreement, and when Gu Wenxuan got off the car, he silently pulled out a small drawer from under the box containing the silver, money and red deeds. In the small drawer was a bow and about fifty arrows.
Unlike the bow and arrow he made for Gu Wenxuan before, the bow and arrow that Bai Jingzhou prepared for himself had a mini version that was two sizes smaller in both bow and arrow.
Although the range of this mini bow and arrow is only half of that of a normal bow and arrow, its biggest advantage is that it is portable and easy to use.
Bai Jingzhou held a bow and arrow and sent it to Gu Wenxuan to scout the enemy camp, but Gu Wenxuan did not give Bai Jingzhou any chance to use his skills.
She was like an eagle that suddenly descended from the sky and broke into a flock of chickens. With just a stick, she beat the robbers so hard that they had no chance to fight back.
Some people wanted to retreat when they saw the situation was not good, but Gu Wenxuan even went to great lengths to catch up with them one by one, and then rewarded each of them equally with a stick.
The driver never expected that in just a blink of an eye, the original wolves and lambs would reverse their positions. The "wolf pack" he thought was a flock of chickens, and the "lambs" he thought were turned into jackals that broke into the flock of chickens and killed them indiscriminately, leaving the chickens no chance to escape.
In less than half a cup of tea, Gu Wenxuan knocked down all the young and middle-aged men who came to rob them. Then, in the driver's eyes of shock and admiration, Gu Wenxuan woke up the leading young man with a slap.
The young man who had hit a wall looked at Gu Wenxuan as if he were some kind of world-destroying evil demon. Not to mention saying harsh words, he didn't even dare to show any sign of rebelliousness in his expression.
Gu Wenxuan looked down at the young man lying on the ground and said, "Tell me, where are you from and why did you think of robbing us?"
The young man did not dare to hide it, "We are from this town. We saw you carrying a box to take the carriage. The box was heavy and it was obviously filled with silver. So we..."
Gu Wenxuan understood, and she asked, "Are you all the second-rate bastards from Liulin Town?"
"Uh..." The man was embarrassed for a moment, but there was no need to say it so harshly, right?
Facing Gu Wenxuan's intimidating eyes, the man immediately became obedient. He nodded, and then defended himself and others, "We don't usually rob people. This time, this is the first time."
Gu Wenxuan raised her foot and kicked, "So I should thank you for thinking highly of me?"
The young man shook his head reluctantly, "No, no, no, lady, spare my life, that's not what I meant."
He just wanted the other party to be generous and let them go since it was only their first offense.
However, Gu Wenxuan was not so easy to fool. She stared at the young man, her eyes seemed to be able to see directly into the depths of his mind. "You said this is your first time to rob, so is this also your first time to do something bad?"
"No, no." The young man didn't dare to lie. Although Gu Wenxuan didn't threaten him, he had a horrible intuition that if he dared to talk nonsense, Gu Wenxuan would beat his brains out.
Gu Wenxuan snorted coldly, "You're smart."
She has Bai Jingzhou, a know-it-all, by her side. If these people dare to lie to her, she will definitely make them pay for it.
Bai Jingzhou had already gotten off the carriage by this time. He asked, "What are you going to do with these people?"
Gu Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. It's already very late, we have to go home."
Before the young man who was listening attentively could breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Wenxuan added, "If they dare to do evil again in the future, as long as I bump into them, I will break their legs directly, so that they can only be bullied by others in the future."
The young man shuddered. As expected, he knew that this woman was scarier than a demon!
Bai Jingzhou nodded to show that he understood, and then he turned his gaze to the young man, "Feng Yijian, right? From now on, I will have someone monitor you and your gang of cronies."
The young man was shocked. He stared at Bai Jingzhou blankly, not understanding how he knew his name.
He was very sure that he had never seen Bai Jingzhou.
Bai Jingzhou ignored him and waved to the driver. Bai Jingzhou said, "It's all right now. Please take us back to town before it gets dark."
The driver seemed to have just woken up from his dream. He hurried over and said, "Okay, I will take you two back to town right away."
Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan then got on the carriage and returned to the town listening to the clatter of horse hooves.
Only when the carriage carrying them disappeared from sight did Feng Yijian stand up with a grimace and go to wake up his friends one by one.
Not to mention how Feng Yijian and others were still frightened and full of regret, let's just talk about Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou. The two of them hid the red deed and the remaining silver money in a cave in the small valley, and then began their daily routine of running to the mountains to store for the winter.
Ten days passed like this, and Gu Wenxuan, Bai Jingzhou and others finally stopped their sweep of the mountains and forests.
It’s not that there are no more forests for them to enter, but the deeper forests are no longer hunting grounds occasionally visited by medium and large wild beasts, but their own nests and territories.
For safety reasons, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou chose to terminate their winter storage operations.
Afterwards, everyone spent two days sorting their things. Those they wanted to take home were placed in one place, while those they wanted to send to the county town to sell were packed up and placed in another place.
