Chapter 262: Being Targeted Again
Lin Hu was somewhat surprised to see Gu Ershi here; he hadn't expected to see Gu Ershi here.
Knowing Lin Hu's doubts, Gu Ershi took the initiative to speak: "Second Uncle, it was my master who sent me to pick you up."
It has to be said that his master is sometimes incredibly prescient. For example, last time and this time, every time he is summoned, it is because something is wrong, and every time it is remarkably accurate.
Lin Hu frowned after hearing what Gu Ershi said: "How did he know where I went?"
“It was my uncle who said it. When I came here, my uncle told me to wait a little longer, otherwise I would definitely miss you.”
My uncle was right. Luckily, he listened and waited a little longer, otherwise they would have definitely missed it!
Lin Hu felt relieved when he heard what he had told his boss; he had thought that only Gu Zhan remembered.
Gu Ershi didn't tell him that he had been waiting here for a long time, and if it weren't for Da Hui following him, his legs would probably be numb from the cold.
Seeing the two start chatting, the robber's expression turned ugly.
His man had a leg injury, and these two were still chatting about everyday things. These two really didn't take him seriously at all!
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't you take me seriously?"
"Damn it, I'm here to rob you, not to listen to your nonsense."
Lin Hu glanced coldly at the clamoring man. Gu Ershi didn't say anything but took action, shooting an arrow that landed right in front of the other party.
"Just listen to me, what are you babbling about?"
The arrow landed right in front of the enemy, startling the man carrying the broadsword, who took two steps back.
Just then, his henchmen stepped forward and said, "Boss, Lao Hu's leg is crippled. We can't just let this go."
The speaker glared fiercely at Lin Hu and his group. The man called "Big Brother" immediately changed his expression upon hearing this.
"Damn it, you're all so good, so very good, you're all so good to me."
"In all my years, I've never met anyone who dared to treat me like this. You've set a precedent right in front of me."
Pang Bao had committed many robberies over the years, but he had never been as humiliated as he was today.
Lin Hu and Gu Ershi didn't say anything. They just wanted to leave; it was too cold here!
Pang Bao stared at them: "If you want to leave, fight me. If you beat me, you can leave. Otherwise, leave your things and your horse behind."
Gu Ershi disagreed, pointing his bow and arrow at Pang Bao: "Whether it's the goods or the horse, they're all ours. Why should we give them to you?"
"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you outnumber me. I still have a whole bunch of useless arrows here."
Gu Ershi's daily archery practice was not for nothing; he could even hit moving objects. How could he possibly miss these huge creatures?
Pang Bao's face turned ugly when he heard this, because he knew that what Gu Ershi said was true. Although they outnumbered each other, they were easy targets.
If we use archery to deal with them, even if our archery skills are inaccurate, we can still inflict heavy losses on them.
It's freezing cold, and food and drink are in such short supply, so medicine is naturally in short supply too. Going back with injuries would be even more troublesome than not having any food at all.
Pang Bao dared not gamble with his own men, so in the end he had no choice but to give up, cursing and swearing as he left with his brothers.
When Lin Hu and the others returned, it was almost dark. Lin's mother had Lin Bao carry most of a bag of rice and go to the Gu family with Gu Ershi.
No one noticed them on the way; they had only been watched for a short time after leaving the Lin family home. The people behind them left only after they saw them enter the Gu family home.
The next morning, Lin Cai had just gotten up and hadn't even opened the door when she heard a knock at the door, even though many people had come to help Scarface build a house during this time.
But they don't usually come here, so the person knocking on the door now probably isn't them.
Gu Dachui also heard the sound. He glanced at the kitchen, then went out to see who was knocking on the door.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard voices coming from outside: "You guys surnamed Gu, open the door for me! You're all heartless! You have food on your own but don't even know how to help the people in the village."
"Do you want to starve us to death, leaving only your two families in the whole village?"
"As expected, the Lin family members are all bad people. They are all selfish and only think about themselves, completely disregarding our lives..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Dachui went over and opened the door. The people outside were startled, but after seeing who it was, they continued talking.
"Big Hammer! Your stepmother is so vicious. She hides all the food. If she finishes it all in a while, who knows what she might do to your younger siblings!"
"That's right, Big Hammer, look at the Lin family, they're all no good. I think you'd better get rid of your stepmother as soon as possible. Keeping that woman in the house is just keeping a menace!"
People outside were saying one after another that Lin Cai was not a good person and would have wicked intentions in the future, but Gu Dachui had no reaction other than anger when he heard what they said.
He glared at them angrily: "Have you said enough? Are you done? If you're done, can you get out now?"
"Are you just killing time this early in the morning? You don't know you're cold or hungry, but you always ask others for help instead of figuring things out yourself. Who do you think you are?"
He looked at them coldly, not letting them come near the door, but the people outside hadn't forgotten why they were there today.
One of them stepped forward: "Gu Dachui, how can you be so ungrateful?"
"We're helping you, helping you see that young widow's true colors. Right now, you're completely bewitched by that young widow, Lin Cai. It'll be too late once she sets her sights on your younger siblings!"
The other party spoke earnestly, with a tone that implied, "I'm doing this for your own good, why won't you listen?"
No sooner had the other person finished speaking than a snowball came flying at him, hitting him squarely on the forehead before he could dodge.
He cried out in pain and immediately started cursing: "Who is it? Which bastard hit me?"
"So what if I hit you? You have a problem with that?"
Scarface came out, still holding a snowball in his hand. He looked at the man and said, "Stop nagging so early in the morning, not even letting people get a good night's sleep. Who else should I hit if not you?"
"You come here to make trouble because there's no food? Who told you the Gu family had food?"
"Even if the Gu family really does have one, it's none of your business to cause trouble..."
