Chapter 1359 - 1354: The Village Must Return to Peace
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang left, Da Niu went to shake Er Niu, exerting all his strength to finally wake Er Niu up.Upon waking up and seeing Da Niu, Er Niu began to scream.
This time, he was truly terrified.
"Shut up, stop yelling. Do you want to attract...that thing over here?" Da Niu covered Er Niu’s mouth and said angrily.
Er Niu immediately stopped shouting, but the fear in his eyes constantly reminded Da Niu of how scared he was.
"Bro, let’s stop being bandits, this is a matter of life and death! Did you see that face? No nose, no eyes, all dark, ah..." Er Niu started yelling again.
"Er Niu, stop yelling. It’s useless to keep shouting. We’re unlucky to have encountered this thing. I also think we shouldn’t continue being bandits! At least not here!"
"Let’s leave now! Bro, I can’t take it anymore!"
The rough-looking man’s face showed a fearful expression; what an extraordinary sight that was!
"No way. Did you forget what she asked us to do?"
Da Niu suffered losses, with wounds all over his body.
The wounds were still bleeding.
But all of this paled in comparison to the horror of that thing!
"No... The boss knows, and he’ll have us killed!" Er Niu shook his head.
"Are you stupid? What did she leave us? Corpse Mud, saying it will follow that scent and find them! If we don’t eat it, that scent won’t be on us.
When the boss is killed, what will you be afraid of then?"
Da Niu’s words completely convinced Er Niu.
He swallowed and with courage, he walked towards the oil-paper package tossed on the ground.
Yet he still dared not pick it up!
Seeing this, Da Niu crouched down and picked up the small oil-paper package himself.
It felt black to the touch, "What is this?"
Da Niu asked in confusion.
"Corpse Mud, bro, didn’t you see her... she grabbed a few handfuls off the ground and then had this thing?"
Only then did Da Niu breathe a sigh of relief.
This kind of stuff from the dead is probably just like that!
"Er Niu, let’s go back, let’s not tell anyone about tonight’s events, and after we drug them tomorrow, we’ll secretly escape, and never return for the rest of our lives!"
Here, Da Niu and Er Niu, the two bandits, discussed their future paths.
After descending the mountain, Mu Shuangshuang asked Yu Liulang to gather the men in the village to discuss their future paths.
Due to the late hour, gathering the villagers took quite some time.
Everyone gathered at the village chief’s house, and at first, many wanted to back out due to fear when discussing dealing with Wang Dali.
Until Mu Shuangshuang elaborated on the things she heard with great exaggeration.
"Tonight, I heard Wang Dali say that starting tomorrow, he wants to rob the village women! Take them to the mountain as captive brides. I know you all have families or loved ones!
You remain silent because you’re afraid of your families getting hurt! But have you thought that if nobody resists, once Wang Dali gets a taste of success, will he spare anyone?"
"Who is this?" someone asked Mu Shuangshuang.
Many are still unfamiliar with Mu Shuangshuang’s identity.
Mu Shuangshuang suddenly speaking left everyone a bit bewildered!
"This is my niece, Mu Shuangshuang! She came for a visit today, and upon hearing me talk about Wang Dali, she told me, the more we evade this affair, the more Wang Dali will amplify his actions!
I feel she makes sense; ever since Wang Dali returned, who dares to go outside? Everyone hides at home.
The fields lay barren, and many good teas in the tea gardens have been wasted, how much loss? And today, Old Yang’s wine got robbed, Yang Family’s second aunt was almost bullied!
Are these things what we want to see? Don’t you wish the village return to its former state, where children play outside as soon as they enter? Don’t you wish the pregnant women among us to breathe the fresh air outside?"
Yu Liulang’s words resonated with everyone.
Hiding is just a means to protect their families.
To protect their women!
Now, hiding places vanish as others become more brazen.
What sense is there in hiding anymore?
"Don’t worry everyone, I’ve arranged for people to help us when we attack the mountain tomorrow night!" Mu Shuangshuang added.
"What kind of help?" someone curiously asked.
"That can’t be disclosed! But rest assured, before we act, we’ll relocate the women and children, so everyone can be without worries!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s arrangement satisfied everyone.
Especially when hearing about the relocation of women and children.
Everyone sat together, listening to Mu Shuangshuang’s plans.
The Yu Family Village locals are not few in number; when it comes to fighting, it’s not like they can’t win.
Especially now that the women are absent.
What should they, the men, be afraid of?
They spent a full hour arranging all the matters.
The sky began to show a fish-belly white.
Dawn had finally arrived!
Everyone gradually returned to their own homes!
Some ate, some rested, waiting till evening when they would gather their gear and head to the mountain.
During the day, Mu Shuangshuang had Yu Erlang escort Feng Xiaohua and a few women away.
The direction they went was towards Er Gui Village.
Tonight, she couldn’t return; she needed to notify Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan; otherwise, the two would be worried!
Throughout the day, Yu Liulang and Yu Dalang sharpened their blades in the courtyard.
Yu Liulang chose a hatchet for chopping wood, Yu Dalang chose an iron pitchfork.
As for Mu Shuangshuang, she retained the bow and arrows and ropes from last night.
The expressions on the faces of the two men were grave.
They considered this affair extremely serious.
Perhaps it might even involve separation by life and death!
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t console them; she felt if a person could be a hero once or twice in life, it wasn’t bad.
By noontime, during lunch, Mu Shuangshuang began arranging for the village women and children to leave.
The nearby villages around Yu Family Village were places they could temporarily shelter.
As for Yu Family Village, once these people left, everyone sealed off the entrance of the village.
Outsiders couldn’t enter, and insiders couldn’t leave.
Finally, evening arrived!
The men of the village all gathered together.
Everyone’s faces were somber, gripping their weapons like soldiers preparing for battle!
Mu Shuangshuang stood distinctly among them, yet exuded an indomitable presence.
In sum, this little girl had a very strong aura!
...
Meanwhile, inside Lion King Cave, things were just as lively.
Wang Dali had issued orders to start robbing women from the mountain once night fell.
Whoever captures a woman gets to keep her as a wife, and no one can object.
Everyone was itching to go at it, eagerly rubbing their hands together.
Only when the kitchen delivered a roast whole lamb and some cooked roast meat did everyone temporarily set aside those thoughts and focus on eating!
