In the end, Furball led the way with the sled. Shen Yijia pushed Song Jingchen’s wheelchair and walked slowly behind.
By the time they arrived at the ancestral hall, half an hour had passed.
There was a bonfire in the ancestral hall, illuminating the interior.
The villagers of Xiagou Village were all trapped together with a hemp rope and sat in the middle of the ancestral hall.
More than ten bandits were guarding the hall with knives. The elders, who were usually arrogant, were now hiding behind their descendants like quails, not daring to say a word.
Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows and felt inexplicably good.
An Xiu’er was not in the crowd. Shen Yijia was about to walk in and ask.
However, a person suddenly darted over from behind at an extremely fast speed. Shen Yijia could feel the cold wind from him.
Just as she was about to avoid it with Song Jingchen, the person ran in front of them and stopped abruptly. After sliding for a while, he knelt down with a thud. “Hello grandaunt, it’s been a long time.”
Sensing that this person had no ill intentions, Furball stopped in its tracks.
When the bandits heard the commotion and gathered around, they were all shocked when they heard their leader call her “grandaunt.”
Every time they went to rob someone, it was said that a grandaunt gave them the idea.
In order to warn them, the leader had instructed them to run away if they encountered this person. But now…
Puzzlement flashed across Shen Yijia’s eyes. When did she have such a big grandnephew? Why didn’t she know? Was she that old?
Song Jingchen wasn’t surprised to see this person. He raised his eyebrows. “What? You can’t stay on Mount Putuo anymore?”
This person was none other than the bandit leader they had encountered on the way from the capital. Shen Yijia had given him the nickname of ‘Saber Tyrant’.
Just now, he was at the village chief’s house with his men. Some of the people who came out of the An family recognized Song Jingchen and his wife and ran to report to him. That was why he rushed over.
The Saber Tyrant thought to himself that he was unlucky. He wanted to find a village to settle down, but he encountered these two ferocious gods. However, he was full of smiles. “Grandpa, you were right. That lackey of mine is a son of a bitch. Since he colluded with outsiders to plot against his brothers, I- I had no choice back then. We had to make a living.”
At the mention of Putuo Mountain, Shen Yijia suddenly recognized this person. “So it’s you. You’re not dead yet?”
She remembered this person because he spoke too harshly.
As a bandit leader with no real abilities, it was a miracle that he could live for so long.
The Saber Tyrant choked and almost couldn’t maintain his smile. The scar on his face trembled. “Ah, I have you to protect me, don’t I?”
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. She remembered why she was here and asked, “Did you catch a very good-looking girl? Where is she?”
“What girl? They’re all in there.” The Saber Tyrant was confused.
At this moment, the person who had gone to report to him stood up with his head lowered and stammered, “It’s the one that Ma Zi brought back. You told him to lock her up in a random house.”
The Saber Tyrant glanced at the man and scolded, “Then quickly get Ma Zi to bring her over.”
Seeing that the person had left, he turned to Shen Yijia and asked with a fawning smile, “Then do you have any other instructions? The others…”
“What do the others have to do with me?” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.
The Saber Tyrant heaved a sigh of relief. He moved his frozen knees and glanced at Shen Yijia. Seeing that she was not looking at him, he quietly stood up.
