"Folks, disarm their weapons and tie them up!"
Zhan Qingyue gave the order, and Brother Zhan took the lead and stepped forward with the rope.
"Go away, you dare to touch a hair of my head!"
Even when death was imminent, the bandit leader still screamed.
Brother Zhan smiled evilly. He was a grasshopper after the fall, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore. He tied him up in a few moments.
The others followed suit.
In a short time, a group of bandits were tied into a bunch of rice dumplings and tied to a thick tree trunk like dogs.
Everyone looked at this funny scene, and after being stunned for a moment, thunderous shouts suddenly broke out from the crowd.
"We win! We win! We caught the bandits!"
After a brief moment of cheering, the surrounding atmosphere cooled down again.
"Miss Yue, Uncle Li Zheng, how should we deal with these bandits? We don't have much food and water to begin with, so we can't expect us to help with food and drink, right?"
Li Zheng's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that there would be such an idiot in his team.
"What's going on? You still have to control people's food, life, and death!"
The atmosphere became cold again, and the upright man who spoke just now didn't even dare to take a breath.
"I have an idea. Not only do we not have to provide food and water, but we may also be able to get food and water."
Just as Zhan Qingyue spoke, everyone looked over and looked at her expectantly.
"Miss Yue, tell me quickly, you are trying to kill everyone!"
Zhan Qingyue glanced at the group of bandits tied up not far away, and lowered her voice: "Since these bandits can come to rob us, why can't we rob them?"
"Master Tong Sheng also said before that most of them are people from that dilapidated village. Why don't we let their families eat in exchange for the lives of these bandits?"
After saying that, a thin and frail man immediately squeezed forward, glanced at everyone, and then said timidly: "No, it can't be done. If a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will be troublesome. It's fine if you can't catch food, but you can't. Let’s provoke other bandits.”
"That's right! That's right! Brother Tusheng makes sense."
With the timid leader in charge, most of the people immediately became intimidated. They didn't have the courage to fight against the bandits just now.
"Folks, I think Miss Yue's idea is quite reasonable. If they can rob us, we can also rob them."
Zhang Dabao suddenly stood up and said this.
With a thought in Zhan Qingyue's mind, watching Li Zheng's son Zhang Dabao arguing with everyone, he suddenly felt that Zhang Dabao was a man who could be made, much better than his useless and selfish father Li Zheng.
"Brother Dabao, I think these bandits can come once or twice, or even more times. Instead of asking them to keep an eye on us, it's better to attack them unprepared and cut off their escape route, while we dig out their lair."
Zhang Dabao's blood boiled with enthusiasm after listening to Zhan Qingyue's instigation, and he wished he could kill him right away in the bandit's lair.
"Brother Dabao, the bandits are cruel and inhumane. We don't know how many people have been harmed before us. Let's dig out their lair in one go. No matter how much we gain, at least we can seriously weaken the energy of these bandits and completely kill us." The tail on the road to escape."
"Miss Yue, you are right. I agree very much. We should work together to raid the bandits' lair. If there is anything I can do, just give me your orders. I, Zhang Dabao, will never even frown."
As soon as Zhang Dabao finished patting his chest and making promises, Li Zheng suddenly jumped forward and yelled hysterically at Zhang Dabao.
"Zhang Dabao! What are you talking nonsense about? Don't even think about it. I don't agree. Others can do such dangerous things without you."
Li Zheng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He pointed at Zhan Qingyue and cursed: "Zhan Qingyue, I don't care what you do, but if you want to take my son and the villagers to do that, I firmly disagree."
After he finished cursing with a grin on his face, he tugged Zhang Dabao's ears and left.
When some of the villagers saw the leader standing at attention, they stopped talking and dispersed one after another.
Zhan Qingyue looked at the crowd walking away, feeling a little disappointed that everyone had missed an opportunity to eradicate the bandits.
"Miss Yue..."
Hu Dayong and several brothers stood in front of Zhan Qingyue, their faces solemn.
"Miss Yue, if there's anything we can do to help, you're welcome, just ask."
Zhan Qingyue smiled bitterly, what can these few people do now? They even raided the bandits' lair, fearing that they would be surrounded before they even reached their territory.
"Everyone, please leave now. I won't be polite to you when I am in need."
Hu Dayong nodded and walked away in despair.
"Sister Yueyue, just do whatever you want and I'll help you."
Han Yiyun's smile was as warm as the spring breeze.
"Brother Han, do you want to..." Zhan Qingyue's eyes lit up and she looked to the side cautiously.
"Yes, you guessed it right!" Han Yiyun pretended to be mysterious: "You pack up and be ready to lead everyone to dig out the bandit's lair at any time. I will help you pave the way."
Seeing Han Yiyun leave with confidence, Zhan Qingyue patiently waited for what Han Yiyun said to pave the way.
Han Yiyun left less than half a stick of incense, and he came back happily, along with Li Zheng's son Zhang Dabao.
Zhan Qingyue glanced at Han Yiyun in surprise, not expecting things to go so smoothly.
"Brother Dabao, sister Yueyue, go quickly. I knocked Uncle Lizheng unconscious. He may not wake up soon."
And in front of his son, Brother Han, is this really okay for you?
Zhan Qingyue kept winking at Han Yiyun worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dabao didn't care at all and instead urged Zhan Qingyue.
Zhan Qingyue nodded and shouted to everyone: "Folks, Uncle Li Zheng asked Brother Dabao and I to take everyone to dig out the bandit's lair."
"Folks, these bandits have caused trouble to many passers-by. There must be a lot of food, buckets of water, and even white money waiting for us in their lair. Let's go to the bandits' lair together! "
With a few words, he immediately inspired the villagers who had been poor, hungry and drought-stricken for too long.
What's more, what Zhan Qingyue said was the one who really wanted to go up the mountain. Even Li Zheng's son Zhang Dabao was there, so it didn't look like he was lying at all.
"Charge! Kill!"
"Food and money are waiting for us, let's work together!"
The silent crowd immediately exploded like water dripping into a hot oil pan.
A man stepped forward and dragged a few bandits away, asking them to lead the way. They even beat and scolded them. No matter how reluctant the bandits were, they had to succumb to the power of the crowd.
A bunch of red torches snaked into the woods like a fire snake.
In a short time, the entire team reached the mountain stronghold built in a hidden place.
To say it is a cottage, it would be better to describe it as a cabin where hunters rest.
The small wooden houses are more dilapidated and depressed than those in the village. They don't look like they have money or food.
