Chapter 240

Chen Dongzhi looked at his side. Although the number of people was smaller than that of the opposite side, at least their combat power was higher than theirs.

Although the other side had more people, they also suffered a lot of casualties, while our side only suffered minor injuries.

He suddenly thought of something, gave Zhong Laosan a look, and whispered the word "water bag".

Zhong Laosan understood what was meant, and immediately ran to the back of the carriage, took out two water bags, and threw them at the people opposite.

The opponent was already fighting with injuries, and the contents of the water bag touched his wound. He immediately rolled on the ground in pain, wailing.

Seeing the person who was splashed with water suddenly become like this, the people on the opposite side didn't dare to move anymore. They all stopped and took a few steps back.

Zhong Laosan grinned and said, "Come on, my water bag is filled with poison. If you are not afraid of death, just take two steps forward."

The leader had a look of doubt and uncertainty on his face. He looked at the two water bags in Zhong Laosan's hands with fear and did not dare to move forward.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the unlucky guys who were splashed with the unknown liquid in the water bag, either because they were frightened or really dead, just lay quietly on the ground without making a sound.

Now, the other side is even more convinced that what Zhong Laosan is holding is poison. Didn’t they see that those people were poisoned to death?

Although gold, silver and treasures are important, life is more important.

The leader slowly moved back until he was a certain distance away, then shouted, "Retreat!"

A group of people ran away in such a hurry that they didn't even take the few unlucky guys on the ground with them.

After making sure that the person had run far away, Escort Master Duan stepped forward and patted Zhong Laosan on the shoulder, "Brother Zhong, is there really poison in your water bag?"

Chen Dongzhi chased out and took a look. He saw that they were heading towards Baba Mountain and made a note of it.

When I got back, I saw Master Duan and a group of escort men surrounding Zhong Laosan. To be more precise, they were surrounding the water bag in Zhong Laosan's hand.

"That's amazing! Your sister can actually make something so amazing!"

Escort Master Duan touched it and said, "When I get back, I'll ask your sister to buy some chili sauce and put it in the water bag. I can use it when I encounter these people in the future."

Chen Dongzhi frowned, "Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late if those people go back to get help."

After hearing this, everyone didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried back in their carriages and carrying the goods.

There were also a few unlucky guys on the ground. Chen Dongzhi went forward to check their breath, and after making sure they were not dead, he tied them up and sent them to the yamen.

Escort Master Duan took the goods to the owner who had asked them to escort the goods, while Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laosan sent those unlucky guys to the yamen before returning home.

A few unlucky guys woke up on the road and thought they were really poisoned. They kept crying and said they were willing to give them all the things they had robbed, as long as they could help them detoxify and save their lives.

Chen Dongzhi didn't say anything and let Zhong Laosan get information from them about where the bandits' hideout was and how many caravans they had robbed so far. He got every answer right.

In order to survive, several people told everything they knew.

"The leader was a man named Linzai from our village. He robbed a wealthy businessman who was passing by, killed him and two other people, and threw them into Baba Mountain. When the villagers found out, they said they would report it to the police. Linzai then killed the man who said he would report it to the police, and threatened us that if we didn't join him in the robbery, he would kill everyone in the village!"

"We can't do anything about it. This Lin cub has been like this since he was young. He will beat anyone he doesn't like. Now that he's grown up, he dares to rob and kill people. We have lived in the village for generations. If we don't do what he says, we will definitely be killed!"

"We did all the work. He never came down the mountain. He would send people to watch over us. If anyone passed by, he would let us rob them. He would pick out the things he didn't want and then give them to us."

Zhong Laosan was silent. He didn't expect that there would be such a villain on Baba Mountain.

After taking the men to the yamen, Chen Dongzhi told the legal advisor who came to receive them everything they had said.

The lawyer had a heavy face, stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "This matter is of great importance. I will report it to the county magistrate as soon as possible and send someone to capture Lin Zai as soon as possible."

After finishing the matter, the two men rushed back to the village before it got completely dark.

Upon learning that the two men encountered bandits on their way back from escorting the goods, Zhong Ruyi broke out in a cold sweat.

"How are you? Third brother, you are not hurt, right?" She looked nervous, "Where is Brother Dongzhi? Is he hurt?"

The family members also gathered around. Mother Zhong pinched her youngest son's arms and legs, but didn't see any wounds.

Zhong Laosan scratched his head and said, "Dongzhi is fine. A few people in the team were injured, but they are not serious."

Now the family was relieved. Mother Zhong decided to buy some more bone soup tomorrow to nourish the second son's wife and youngest son.

The next morning, Zhong Ruyi went to find Chen Dongzhi with the white bone soup cooked by her mother.

But when I arrived at his house, I found out that he was not there. He had gone to move bricks to the new house.

She carried the basket and went to the new house to find him.

The villagers who were building the wall smiled kindly when they saw her coming, "Daughter of the Zhong family, are you here to look for Dongzhi? He's in the kitchen."

After Zhong Ruyi thanked him, he went to the kitchen.

The house is almost built, with only some details and furniture left to be completed. However, as long as the house is built, there is no need to worry about the furniture inside.

As soon as she entered, she saw Chen Dongzhi bending over and working with his head down. She happily called out "Brother Dongzhi".

Chen Dongzhi immediately turned his head and looked over. When their eyes met, smiles appeared on both of their faces.

However, there was a fellow villager in the kitchen. Zhong Ruyi called him "Uncle" honestly and handed the basket to Chen Dongzhi, "Brother Dongzhi, this is the pork bone soup that my mother has been cooking all morning. There is also food in it. You should eat it while it's hot."

It was just time for lunch, so my aunt came over with food and invited everyone to eat.

Zhong Ruyi came over after eating, and took Chen Dongzhi to find an open space to sit down and watch him eat.

"By the way, my mother asked you to come to my house for dinner tonight, so you must remember to come."

Seeing that he had finished eating, Zhong Ruyi was just about to go over and put his empty bowl and chopsticks into the basket to take away, but before she could move, Chen Dongzhi had already put the bowl and chopsticks in.

She was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'm going back, remember to come over for dinner."

"Okay." Chen Dongzhi watched her walk away, and turned around to see the men who came to work looking at them with a joking smile on their faces.

One even asked directly, "Winter Solstice, is it too late to get married in the winter month? I see there is an auspicious day next month, why don't you let us drink your wedding wine early?"

Chen Dongzhi pursed his lips, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He ignored everyone's teasing, and after dinner he went straight back to the place he had not finished yet to continue working on.

The sooner the house is built, the closer it will be for them to get married.
