Chapter 79 Pretending to be a bandit

After avoiding the sun’s peak time at noon, You Jin led Song Hua to continue to circle around the mountain. Song Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead. He couldn't help admiring Su Family’s Eldest Miss whom he had looked down upon before. On such a sunny day, her face had two big blushes, and the hair on her temples was also sticking onto her forehead. Still, she ran around with such vigor, as if she would never be tired!

"Song Hua, why are you in a daze?" You Jin called him a few times and got no response. Looking back, it turned out to be him standing by the stream in a daze!

Song Hua, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked at You Jin who was ten steps away in panic. He asked, "Huh? Eldest Miss? You called me?"

Thinking that he was still slandering the big girl just now, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. However, flushed cheeks from the sun didn’t reveal his guilty conscience.

"What were you thinking that had you so preoccupied?" You Jin amusedly gave him an eye roll. Then she spoke: "I was asking you, what are your thoughts on me putting you here to learn to manage things?" After all, the long-term workers weren’t bought. You Jin was really worried about leaving all the money matters to Hou Wei and others to manage. The only people around her who she can use were Han Li and Song Hua. But Han Li was bottled up. Not many words can be pulled out of him. It would be better for witty Song Hua to step forward.

"M, me, me?" Song Hua didn't expect Eldest Miss to drop such a big news so lightly. He hadn’t reached fifteen years old. Previously, he was just doing odd jobs in the previous master's house. Now he was going to be in charge? Having such happy thoughts, a silly smile appeared on Song Hua’s face.

You Jin sighed. He was still tender. However, there was no one to use right now. Song Hua was barely suitable. She’ll make do! Once again, she called him, whose mind had wandered far away, back to reality: "I just want to ask you what your thoughts are first. If you are willing, I will discuss it with your father when we get back today. You should learn some things about managing people from your father first. If you learn something useful, I’ll let you? How about it?"

How could Song Hua listen to anything else that You Jin said now? Nodding again and again, he agreed: "Sure, I'll listen to Eldest Miss."

The two walked one after the other and chatted. When the sun was setting, Song Hua felt that his body was covered with the smell of sweat. Only then, You Jin gave approval and they made their way home.

In the afternoon of June, the sunset turned red like a red heart and hung in the sky like an egg yolk. Still, the power of scorching the earth hadn’t diminished. The hot wind blew by and made people feel stuffy. Not relieving the heat the slightest.

Old Third Chen and the other five people had been hiding in the grass by the roadside for a long time. There the sun, heat, and mosquito bites. Although the environment was difficult, the few local ruffians who usually eat and do nothing were all thinking about the two thousand liang they were about to get and endured the pain for a while. Each unblinkingly stared at the corner of the intersection, waiting for the figure of the blue-top mule cart.

Old Third Chen, who came back after going to pee, frustratedly cursed: "Damn, why is the little b*tch still not showing up! I’ll give her a good sorting later. Let her know how powerful I am!"

He already put the blame of their suffering on You Jin's head.

"Third Elder Brother, here they come!" Just as old Third Chen was thinking about how to deal with Su Family’s little b*tch, a bright, joyous low voice rang out in his ear: "Third Elder Brother! Third Elder Brother!"

"Here they come! What’s so pressing about it!" Old Third Chen disgruntledly rolled his eyes. Still, he quickly squatted down. Then he picked up a stone and threw it down to Ge Jia Hong and the other two on the opposite side of the official road. signaling that the fat sheep was sending itself to the door.

Old Third Chen and the others deliberately chose an official road in the middle of nowhere. Today, taking advantage of no one on the road, they quietly buried the tripping rope in it. Just waiting for Su Family's mule cart to pass by and they can immediately pull the rope to trip. Seeing the mule cart getting closer, everyone hurriedly wrapped their faces in sackcloth. Extremely nervous, their hands that were holding the rope were sweating.

The mule cart was less than a foot away from the rope buried by old Third Chen and the others. Since it was the first time they committed this kidnapping and extortion, they were afraid and nervous. So they pulled up the rope ahead of time. Song Yang, who was driving the mule cart, saw the hemp rope suddenly appearing in front of the mule cart and hurriedly stopped the mule's progress. You Jin inside noticed the mule cart stopped, and asked, "Song Yang, what's wrong? "

"Don’t know who got a hemp rope to block the road here. I'll go down and deal with it. Eldest Miss, please wait a moment." Song Yang briefly explained the situation. Then he prepared to jump off the mule cart to solve the rope blocking the road.

You Jin's eyebrows twitched and she hurriedly said: "Song Yang, don't go down, let's turn around and go back!"

You Jin thought, in all likelihood, old Third Chen and others were making their move. Now that the number of enemies was unknown, it was really inappropriate to take action. So they should hurry up and evacuate quickly. As soon as Song Yang heard this, he led the mule and hurriedly prepared to turn around and head back.

Seeing the mule cart that had firmly stopped and not tripped, old Third Chen was so vexed that he spat out the dog's tail grass in his mouth heavily on the ground: "Do you have any brains?" At the sight of the kid turning the mule cart around, old Third Chen raised his arm and yelled out: "Go!"

Before the mule cart could turn around, five men masked in linen surrounded the mule cart. Old Third Chen complacently chuckled: "It's rude to walk up into us brothers' territory and leave without saying hello?"

Song Yang, who was sitting outside the mule cart, was terrified when he saw five masked men coming out of nowhere. Now hearing what they said, he was so frightened that his legs trembled. Voice trembling, he conveyed to You Jin in the mule cart: "Eldest Miss, it's bandits..."

Song Yang didn't know that old Third Chen was going to kidnap You Jin, so he thought it was bandits who had gone down the mountain. But You Jin knew very well in her heart that it was old Third Chen who used the name of bandits to kidnap her! In this way, if they were to be investigated in the future, all the crimes will be pushed to the never seen ‘bandits’.

She quietly hid the self-defense dagger she had put in the mule cart into her cuff. Then lowering her voice, she instructed Song Yang through the door curtain: "Listen to me. In a moment, I will tell you to run. Run back quickly. There is a village across the mountain pass. Go ask for help." Song Yang had no fighting power. Staying here will only drag herself down. He might as well ask for help.

"What about you, Eldest Miss?" Song Yang currently only felt that her whole body was trembling. It was five masked men. If he runs away, what will happen to Eldest Miss?

Seeing that the two people in the mule cart remain unmoved, old Third Chen impatiently gave one of them a wink. The man nodded, walked forward with a thick wooden stick in one hand, and lifted Song Yang off the cart: " Brat, don't stand in the way."

Song Yang was directly thrown to the ground. The target of the few people wasn’t him, so naturally no one would pay attention to him. Back to old Third Chen and the others. They assumed Su You Jin was just a slightly stronger little girl. So they were cautious at the moment. Just directly raised the curtain of the mule cart.

Unexpectedly, a gust of sharp wind rushed towards him. A dagger swung out from inside, directly cutting the sackcloth on old Third Chen's head and left a blood mark on his face. How could it ever cross old Third Chen’s mind that this was a cutting good? He yelped out. A burning pain stung his face. He stretched out his hand to touch it. The sticky blood stain clearly told him the fact that he was disfigured.

"You little b*tch! Brothers, advance!" Old Third Chen fiercely gritted his teeth. He was completely pissed off. Initially. he just wanted some money. Now, he got to torture this b*tch!

Back to You Jin who scratched old Third Chen's face. Afterward, she threw out an leg toward the other man’s chest. After the people on the left and right moved away from the mule cart, You Jin swiftly flipped over and got off the mule cart. Holding the dagger tightly in her hand, she had her back against the mule cart and quickly took in the situation. Besides the one kicked to the ground, four other people gradually surrounded him.

Seeing that what they were holding were all wooden sticks and their auras weren’t like skilled fighters, You Jin was relieved. Still, she didn’t dare to relax her vigilance. The blood-stained dagger in her hand seemed frightening under the afterglow of the setting sun. As if she didn't mind opening a few more holes in old Third Chen and the others if they dared to come forward.

Noticing that the few people flinched, old Third Chen berated a bit: "Isn't it just a little girl? What do we have to be afraid of her for? Do you want money or not?"

Although old Third Chen's own hands were shaking slightly, one couldn't tell if it was out of fear or excitement. Since things had reached this point and the two thousand liang were about to be obtained, how can he tolerate running away?

As soon as old Third Chen mentioned money, they felt five big men would never lose to a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. They swallowed hard, gritted their teeth, and stomped their feet. Then they began to gradually encircle You Jin’s direction.

Seeing that the five people's attention was on her and Song Yang who was pushed to the ground beside her also got up, You Jin hurriedly signaled with her eyes to Song Yang, who had picked up a small wooden stick and was about to sneak attack, to go seek for help. Song Yang saw Eldest Miss’s determined eyes and then recalled how Eldest Miss kicked the man just now, he turned around and ran to ask for help. He knew that he couldn’t help Eldest Miss much by staying, so he might as well call for someone quickly.

Song Yang fell down after only a few steps. He didn't care about his sore knee and got up and ran like crazy. Naturally, someone noticed the movement behind. Old Third Chen stopped the two who wanted to catch him: "Our target is this little b*tch. He is just a driver. Don't worry about him!"

Old Third Chen's vision was red now and stared straight at You Jin. The rift between the two had taken root. Old Third Chen had already made up his mind. Once he gets the money, he will sell this little b*tch, who dared to hurt him, to a brothel. With this appearance, it was estimated that she could be sold for a good price!

Surrounded by five people, You Jin was thankful that she was going to go to the ground today and wore clothes with narrow sleeves that were convenient for movement. Once she fights, it will not be in the way.
