Chapter 173 I'll make you suffer to death
"Come find me? Why are you coming to find me? Where is my second brother? Where is he now? I need to talk to him."
As Lin Bao spoke, he walked past the monkey and headed inside. The monkey quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't go, don't go, Second Master isn't home at all."
Hearing this, Lin Bao stopped and looked at the monkey: "What do you mean he's not home? Where did he go at this time?"
"Second Master went out on business and has been gone for several days. No one is home right now. If you need anything, you can tell me, and I can help you..."
After the monkey finished speaking, he noticed that Lin Bao's expression was very strange. He remembered what his boss had told him before he left.
However, he had a drinking session with someone and then slept for two days, which delayed the matter.
Could it be that he didn't follow the boss's instructions and went there on time, and that's why something really happened?
Worried that something had really happened, the monkey grabbed Lin Bao and demanded to know what was going on. What Lin Bao said almost made him dig a hole and bury himself on the spot.
"Kidnapped by bandits? How could she be kidnapped by bandits? How could you let a young lady go out in this cold weather?"
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Lin Bao was also very angry. He was still sleeping when the girl left. If she had woken him up, none of this would have happened.
Lin Hu wasn't there, and Lin Bao didn't plan to go in to look for him. He turned around and walked out. When Monkey saw him leaving, he immediately followed.
"Why are you following me? I'm going to find my sister, why are you coming with me?"
"If you're going to look for her, I'm going to look for her too! The boss's girl has disappeared, and now that the boss isn't here, I have to help find her!"
Besides, he failed to complete this task. If he doesn't do something to make amends, won't the boss skin him alive when he gets back?
Lin Bao was unaware of this incident. Since he wanted to come along, he was allowed to. At worst, one more person meant one more source of strength.
The two arrived at the town entrance together. Ershi was waiting there with a bow and arrow. Lin Bao looked left and right but couldn't find the person he was looking for.
"Ershi, where is he? Didn't he come with you?"
“Master didn’t come; he told me to wait for you here.”
"He just told you to come here and wait for us, and didn't say anything else?"
Ershi shook his head when he heard this: "No, they just told me to wait for you, and didn't say anything else."
He also found it a bit strange. He had already packed his things, so why was he sent here alone?
After hearing what Ershi said, Lin Bao assumed that Gu Zhan hadn't come at all, and kicked the grass at his feet: "Damn it, if he's not coming, he's not coming. I'm breaking up with him."
We're breaking up completely! We're no longer friends!
Over here, the person he wanted to cut ties with was now standing on a large rock, observing the houses over there.
Gu Zhan had been here for quite a while. He came alone, carrying his bow and arrows.
According to his observation, there weren't many people there, at most only one or two hundred, and most of them were not armed.
Because they were all farmers, and almost half of them were women, with the rest being children and men.
After observing for a while, Gu Zhan saw them start making lunch. Not long after, he saw them carrying lunch out and then going to the back mountain.
Gu Zhan watched the two people carrying lunch and quietly followed behind them. Before long, they arrived at a place hidden by trees on the back mountain.
This place is very spacious and can accommodate thousands of people. It is surrounded by dense trees.
You can't tell from the outside, but once you go inside, you'll find that while there are trees everywhere on the outside, the inside is very spacious.
Gu Zhan quietly followed them inside, watching them carry the things to the deepest part of the room, and then a few more people came over.
Those people were all carrying a curved knife, and their clothes and headscarves were covered with animal fur.
When they saw someone bringing food, their expressions and tone were very unpleasant. Gu Zhan was too far away to hear what they were saying.
But he could see that after the men with curved knives took the food, they immediately beat up the person who brought it over.
Gu Zhan saw this and hid behind a tree without moving. After the men had finished beating him, they carried the food away.
The beaten people helped each other up from the ground and limped away. Gu Zhan could hear what they were saying.
"Brother Dazhu, why don't we finish them off? If we keep eating like this, we'll be completely broke!"
"What are you doing? What are you going to do? Who among us can beat them? Didn't you see the knives they're holding?"
"With such a sharp knife, they can take us down one by one, like slicing a melon. Do you think any of us can escape?"
"But this can't go on forever. The food is almost gone. If it's really all gone, are we going to rob it?"
That's not all. Every time they delivered the goods, they would be beaten up and mocked by those people before they would leave happily.
He's a human being, not an animal. How could he possibly endure such humiliation for long?
"I know you can't take it anymore, and neither can I, but we have to bear it until we find a solution."
"Even if it's not for ourselves, we have to think about all those elderly people and children!"
The group fell silent upon hearing this. Yes!
They're not all bachelors; they all have wives and children at home. Even if they don't have wives and children, they still have parents at home!
Gu Zhan followed them all the way back to the village and overheard their conversation. When the villagers saw them return, they quickly helped them inside.
"Look what you've done! I told you from the beginning that they weren't good people, and now look what's happened!"
"Oh dear, my good aunt, please stop scolding me and get me some medicine quickly! My back is killing me!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Now you know how to cry out in pain. If I had known it would be like this, I would have just made you suffer to death!"
"If you had listened to us back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this. How could that bastard have eaten so much of our food?"
After taking out the medicine, the old woman poured it directly into her palm, then aimed it at the bruises on Dazhu's body, patted it down, and rubbed it vigorously.
There were four people who delivered the food. Dazhu was beaten the worst by them. Moreover, Dazhu had neither a wife nor an elderly mother, so he always sought help from his aunt when he was injured.
The other three families all had wives, so they left after sending Dazhu over.
