Shaohua is Junqing

Beitang Mo Ran, Si Yu, Su Xun Xian and a group of five people went to Yuntai Mountain for a trip. They passed through a forest and were chatting when they suddenly heard a strange noise in the forest, so they stopped.

When faced with danger or unclear situations, the three men naturally surrounded the two girls to protect them and looked towards the source of the sound.

Soon, more than a dozen people emerged from the woods, holding knives, guns, sticks and clubs, with ferocious looks on their faces.

Did they get robbed? Siyu thought to herself.

"Leave your money and the girl behind and we'll let you go," said the leader.

"I know your brothers have a hard time. How about I give you all the money and let us go?" Beitang Mo Ran thought that there were girls around and their safety should be the first priority. He didn't want to get entangled with this group of people, so he spoke in a negotiating tone.

"Don't bargain with me, keep both the money and the girl."

"I can give you some more money."

"Stop talking nonsense. The money must be there, and the girl must stay too."

"Brother, why do you have to push people too far? If someone dies, it will not end well."

"We don't want to hurt anyone, so if you're smart, just leave the money and the girl."

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader rushed towards Beitang Mo Ran and others with a big knife in his hand. In just a moment, chaos broke out.

Although Siyu doesn't know martial arts, her instinctive reaction is definitely not bad or slow.

Seeing the big knife coming down at her, Siyu turned around and hid behind a big tree. The burly man with the knife missed and then chopped again with the knife horizontally. As luck would have it, it hit the tree trunk and the knife got stuck.

The sturdy man tried to pull it out, but he couldn't get it out. It was firmly embedded in the tree trunk.

Seeing that the other party had not moved for a long time, Siyu poked her head out from behind the tree.

"Dude, the knife is stuck."

"Yeah." The sturdy man actually nodded in agreement, but his hands continued to move, gripping the handle of the knife and pulling it out with all his strength.

"Dude, your knife is no good. It's too blunt. You can't even cut a tree."

"I haven't used it for a long time. The knife is dull and my hands are raw."

Siyu thought that this guy might not be very smart as he didn't even sharpen his knife before going out to rob.

"You are such an old man, with all the strength in your body, why don't you go farming or find a decent job? Why do you become a bandit?"

"I am also forced to have no choice!"

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Originally, we had a few acres of land. My mother was in poor health and could not do heavy work, and my sister was too young to do it either. So my father and I were the only ones who could work in the fields. The harvests in recent years have not been very good. My father is old and can no longer work, and I alone could not support the farm. Gradually, the land became barren, and was later bought by a local wealthy family."

"Without farming, I have no source of income, but life still needs to go on, so I thought about going out to work and earn some money. On the way there, I met two fellow villagers who were on their way to seek refuge with the big boss of Fuding Mountain. They said there were dozens of people in their mountain village who specialized in robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Not only could they make money, but they could also help the poor people."

"So you joined them?"

"That's right. After we got to the mountain, we ate, drank, played and had fun every day. We did nothing. I began to wonder if we had come to the wrong place. Until one day, the big boss said that a wealthy businessman was going to Yonglin County to do business. He brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry and would pass by here. He asked the brothers in the mountain village to be prepared."

"Robbery?"

"Well, the process went smoothly. The rich businessman was very timid. When he saw us holding big knives, he handed over a large amount of gold and silver without saying a word."

"Aren't you afraid that the government will arrest you for doing this?"

"I was afraid at first, but the boss said we were just robbing people and would not kill them, so the government turned a blind eye."

"There is such a thing!" Siyu found it a little unbelievable.

Siyu took advantage of his inattention and hit him on the back of the head with a stick, and he immediately fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, brother. Although your life story is pitiful, you are blatantly robbing me, and I have to save my life."
