Under the gaze of the crowd, Lu Lili came out while gnawing on a dry, large pancake.
She didn’t get off the carriage but stood on top of it, making “ah-ba ah-ba” sounds with her mouth, with yellowish wet crumbs sticking all over her head, face, and even hands.
Combined with her messy black hair, extremely dull eyes, and an expression that seemed unaware of what had happened, she truly resembled a mentally retarded person.
The coachman had lived for so many years, and even though he wasn’t well-educated, he still had a functioning brain.
At a glance, he knew that this young girl was attempting to save herself by acting crazy and dumb.
Naturally, he wouldn’t expose her, so he could only remain silent on the side, trembling, and wait for the bandits’ reaction.
If they could both survive together, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
The other bandits saw a dirty fool coming down from the carriage. They clutched their throats as if they wanted to vomit last night’s dinner.
D*mn, to them, looking at this fool was even worse than going to the small village at the foot of the mountain to see the fat Xiao Cui and the bucktoothed Xiao Hong. They weren’t as repulsive as this!
Only Xu Wu still smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled up, showing that he had more insight than his subordinates.
It was evident that the reason why he could be the Second Master was because his brain was undoubtedly more functional than the others.
He habitually stroked his beard, which didn’t grow very long, and his eagle eyes scrutinized the young person in a boyish outfit who was still “ah-ba ah-ba” gnawing on the pancake from top to bottom.
Under the gaze of the Second Master of the bandits, Lu Lili’s heart grew increasingly uneasy.
Oh my, she has already disregarded her cleanliness obsession and made herself look so dirty and foolish. Can’t they just spare her life as an act of kindness?
“Hey, she’s really a beauty!” After a while, Xu Wu finally spoke, “Take her away. She can still be of use after a wash, she’ll become my concubine in the stronghold!”
Upon hearing Xu Wu’s words, his dozen or so bandits laughed along.
However, their laughter lacked the same joy as Xu Wu’s, and their smiles did not reach their eyes.
After all, even if they brought a beauty back to the mountain stronghold, they wouldn’t get to enjoy her. How could they truly be happy?
The obedient little bandits gripped their long knives, over a meter in length, and rushed towards Lu Lili.
The coachman saw that there was no hope anymore, so he helped the bandits by pushing Lu Lili off the carriage and quickly turned the carriage around. He whipped the horses and galloped away in the opposite direction.
None of the bandits paid any attention to the fleeing coachman.
After all, a poor and old man had no use in the mountain stronghold.
Kill him?
No, they prided themselves on being kind bandits. The stronghold had its own rules: pursue wealth, not harm lives. That way, they could relieve themselves in peace at night.
Outnumbered and facing armed opponents, Lu Lili could only surrender reluctantly.
So, it’s said that the most fearsome is that bad people are intelligent!
This time she was caught, unexpectedly as a concubine, and not the leader’s wife?
Oh, she wondered how many innocent girls these bandits have kidnapped!
“Don’t tie me up, I, I can walk on my own!”
Even though she was caught, Lu Lili still didn’t forget to act foolishly, and crumbs sprayed out of her mouth every time she spoke.
She pretended as if she struggled to prevent the bandits from tying her hands with a rope because she still wanted to continue devouring pancakes while saying “ah-ba ah-ba!”
Just then, several hidden weapons flew out from somewhere, hitting the foreheads of a few small bandits who were holding onto Lu Lili.
Afterwards, they all fell to the ground, motionless, with their eyes wide open, looking particularly scary!
