Chapter 241 "Robbery" - Back and Gone
He thought that since the bandits had accepted the two men's copper coins, they would surely take him to see a doctor.
To everyone's surprise, he simply put the copper coin in his pocket, turned around and left without looking back.
"Boss... Boss..."
The outlaw turned his head and glanced at the mountain chief: "Losers don't deserve to see a doctor, and prisoners don't deserve to negotiate. You'd better watch yourself."
They don't actually examine injuries; it's just experience gained through management.
Fighting and brawling are all because people are too full and have too much free time.
You're stubborn, he's even more stubborn. But when he runs into a brick wall, he finally knows to see a doctor.
If you get into a fight and someone twists your head off, seeing a doctor won't help.
Some budding ideas can only be extinguished on Mars!
This time we saw a doctor, who knows if next time it will spread like wildfire? Wouldn't that keep Dr. Li extremely busy?
Besides, his wallet can't afford to be damaged either!
Upon hearing the cold reply, the eldest brother was speechless.
This is my first time experiencing working away from home. Who will tolerate your "vices of the world"?
He stood there, bruised and battered, bewildered in the autumn wind.
It truly proves the saying: "The pitiful must have something hateful about them, and the hateful must have something pitiful about them!"
"Damn, serves you right!"
The bandit turned around, cursed, and crushed the mountain chief's already shattered heart into dust once more!
The mountain elder had never tasted bitter herbs, but at that moment, he felt that his throat was even more bitter than bitter herbs.
Since they fought privately and didn't have a doctor to treat their injuries, they behaved themselves quite well.
On ordinary days, they would work even harder in order to earn a copper coin or two from the bandits.
After all, if you save up for a few days, it'll be enough for a delicious meal at the village canteen!
This allowed the riverbed dredging work to proceed very quickly.
A few days later, Ah Li returned, his hair a mess and looking travel-worn!
Lin Xi was at the village entrance's "information department," cracking sunflower seeds, drinking tea, and talking animatedly about the traitor "Lotus Root Starch" battling the Third Prince of Longhai.
At the climax, he paused to take a sip of tea. When he looked up, he saw Ah Li staring at him with green eyes.
Lin Xi almost spat out her tea. She quickly patted her chest to swallow it down before running over and exclaiming with delight, "Ah Li, you're back!"
"Hungry……"
Ah Li weakly uttered a single word.
"Come on, let's go home. I'll cook for you! By the way, why did you come back alone?!"
Lin Xi quickly grabbed Ah Li and ran home.
"Hey, Lin Xi, you haven't told us the aftermath of that 'lotus root starch' killing the Third Prince yet!"
The aunties and grandmothers who were listening intently to the story stood up and hurriedly tried to get Lin Xi to have a change of heart and give the story a proper ending.
But he grabbed Ah Li's hand, as if he had made up his mind, and ran home without looking back.
"If you want to hear the next installment, I'll tell you tomorrow!"
Lin Xi's words carried from afar, leaving the "Information Department" scratching its head in frustration and beating its chest in despair.
When Gao Mengli returned from the river construction site, she saw A Li burying his head in his food.
She ran over quickly: "Ah Li, why did you come back alone? Where are the others?"
Where are Fatty and Missing Tooth's dad?
With his mouth full of food, Ah Li mumbled, "They're bringing back the people behind them. There are too many people, so it's too slow. I came back first."
Gao Mengli was immediately delighted when she heard what A Li said.
"Taking someone hostage" means that Dou Weiyi has succeeded!
I'm in a great mood!
After waiting for a few days, Dou Weiyi indeed returned with her entourage!
But Fatty, Miss Tooth Dad and the others weren't there, nor were Da Niu's master and mistress in the group, and the Green Forest heroes hadn't returned either.
Therefore, only Dou Weiyi led Ruan Dan to the door.
Sitting at the table, Gao Mengli frowned: "Lord Dou, where are Fatty and the others?"
Dou Weiyi was in a great mood. She poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"Guess how many I found in the Lotus Sect's den this time..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers in front of Gao Mengli.
Gao Mengli was also very curious: "How much?!"
Dou Weiyi, acting strangely, held up two fingers to Gao Mengli.
"Two thousand taels?!"
Dou Weiyi curled her lip: "How pathetic! Don't be so narrow-minded. Go ahead and guess!"
Gao Mengli's eyes widened, her breathing quickened, and she tentatively asked, "Twenty thousand taels?"
Dou Weiyi threw her head back and laughed loudly, then slammed her hand heavily on the table:
"I underestimated the Lotus Sect. A full two hundred thousand taels! They really struck it rich this time."
Lin Xi looked at Dou Weiyi, who was grinning from ear to ear, with a complicated expression: "No, you've struck it rich, but what about our chubby girl?"
Dou Weiyi glared at Lin Xi and retorted, "What do you mean, 'your family's chubby girl'? That's my family's chubby girl!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi turned her back, rolled her eyes, and then turned to look at Dou Weiyi: "So, where is he?"
Dou Weiyi was in a great mood and straightened her sleeves: "Of course it's the border defense camp!"
"Wha...what?"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exclaimed in unison, they were surprised.
Didn't you say you'd come back after the "robbery"? Why did you end up setting up a military camp?
Dou Weiyi quickly reassured the two people in front of her: "Don't worry, they're either going to fight on the front lines or delivering rice, grain, and silver to the military camp!"
After all, that's "dirty silver and dirty grain," we have to use it quickly!
The safest thing is to eat it and use it on your body!
As he spoke, he took out two thousand taels of silver notes from his pocket: "These are silver notes for twenty thousand winter clothes. Here you go first."
The border troops were short of food and hadn't received their pay for a long time, so they had to allocate this much.
I will provide you with the details later!
Lin Xi took the banknote and nodded: "Okay, it's alright. I'll put it on your tab!"
By the way, when are Fatty and the others coming back from the border?
Dou Weiyi considered the time in her mind before speaking: "Probably before the New Year. If they travel fast, they can make it back before the New Year."
Gao Mengli frowned slightly, still somewhat worried: "The journey is long and arduous, and it's almost the end of the year, so we can't let anything go wrong."
Dou Weiyi smiled and explained, "It's alright. The post roads they traveled on were mostly flat and easy to travel on, except for the rugged ones within Shu'an."
Gao Mengli nodded. After all, the fat girl and the bandits were indeed the best people to escort the rice and grain, since their martial arts skills were far superior to those of ordinary soldiers.
Bandits and the like dared not even think of targeting them.
This is why escorting goods through a security escort agency is very safe.
Because they were "good at fighting," no foolish bandits dared to come up and steal their things.
At this moment, Lin Xi tugged at Meng Li's sleeve and whispered something in her ear.
After they finished speaking, the way the two looked at Dou Weiyi made him feel uneasy.
"What...what happened?"
Gao Mengli cleared her throat: "My lord, do you have any familiar colleagues with Shu'an?"
Why are these two asking about Shu'an?
His intuition told him that these two were probably up to something!
Dou Weiyi's heart skipped a beat, but she still had a smile on her face: "There are a few, but they are all just casual acquaintances. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
