After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

chapter Five

Luo Shuiyao stopped and hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should go up and help the old lady up. But then she thought, what if this old lady is a scammer? After all, in modern society, scams are too common.

After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and decided to pretend she didn't see anything, turning around and preparing to walk back. However, when she turned around, she found two men not far behind her staring at her.

Luo Shuiyao looked at the two men warily, but heard a rustling sound behind her. She looked back and found that the old lady was slowly approaching her.

Seeing that Luo Shuiyao had noticed her presence, the old lady quickly put on a pitiful look and said to her, "My lady, I just accidentally fell down and my legs hurt so much. Can you please help me get home?"

As she spoke, the old lady pretended to rub her legs.

Luo Shuiyao ignored her and turned to give the two men a sweet smile. The two men had greedy looks on their faces and whispered to her.

"Young lady..."

Right now, while the two were stunned, she no longer hesitated, turned around and rushed towards the old lady.

"Ouch, my old woman's waist."

The old lady was knocked to the ground by her, and she lay there wailing. Luo Shuiyao didn't have time to care about the old lady, and ran forward without looking back. Behind her came a chaotic sound, the old lady's wailing, and the roars of two men.

The two men hurried forward to help the old lady up, but as soon as they touched her, the old lady let out an even more shrill "Ouch" cry, as if her whole body was about to fall apart.

The taller and thinner man looked up at Luo Shuiyao's running figure and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry about this old witch for now. Let's chase that woman back first."

There was a burst of hurried footsteps behind her. Luo Shuiyao didn't dare to look back. She could only keep her head down and run forward. However, she was a woman after all. How could she outrun a tall and strong man?

Just a few steps away, she was grabbed by the arm. She opened her mouth and wanted to scream for help, but she quickly realized that alerting the enemy would do her no good.

Her eyes rolled and she started to cry. "Brother, you hurt me, I'll just go with you, why are you so rude!"

Li Tiezhu, who was holding her, was at a loss. "Don't cry, sister! I just wanted to love you, but I didn't expect to hurt you."

Li Tiezhu had never expected to meet such a beautiful woman today. As the saying goes, if you die beneath the peony flowers, you will be a romantic ghost. Looking at this water-like beauty before him, the anger he had just felt at her escape instantly vanished without a trace.

At this time, Wang Jinzi also caught up. He was a little fatter and couldn't run as fast as Li Tiezhu, so he was a little slower. He didn't expect to hear Li Tiezhu say such a thing just after he came up. He immediately shouted angrily: "Li Tiezhu, what do you mean, do you want to eat alone?"

Li Tiezhu held Luo Shuiyao's arm tightly with one hand, and gently stroked Wang Jinzi's back with the other. He chuckled and said, "How could that be, Brother Jinzi? We brothers share happiness and hardship. How could I, your brother, eat all your food?"

Wang Jinzi took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. "I thought you had second thoughts! Now that you say that, I'm relieved."

Luo Shuiyao looked at them, her eyes slightly narrowed. She leaned on Li Tiezhu's arm and gently leaned towards his side. "Brother Tiezhu, I don't want to be with him anymore. Please take me away."

Li Tiezhu shuddered, feeling as if his bones were about to break. He quickly reached out and embraced Luo Shuiyao, saying, "Okay, I'll take you away."

Wang Jinzi was furious when he saw this. "Li Tiezhu, you just said you had no second thoughts. What are you doing now?"

Li Tiezhu quickly comforted him: "Alright, alright, my good brother. Let's take her back first. As for what happens later, hehe, we'll talk about it later."

As he spoke, he winked at Wang Jinzi, constantly signaling, and raised his chin slightly, as if conveying some special signal to Wang Jinzi.

Wang Jinzi's anger faltered. With their years of experience in criminal activities, he immediately understood what Li Tiezhu meant.

Wang Jinzi nodded slightly in understanding.

Li Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't anger Wang Jinzi yet. The most urgent task was to bring this beauty back. As for how to divide the brothers, they could discuss it slowly.

Luo Shuiyao naturally saw the exchange of glances between them and secretly resented them. She had wanted to sow discord between the two, but it seemed that Li Tiezhu, though seemingly simple and honest, was not easily persuaded.

She raised her eyes slightly and saw Li Tiezhu holding her arm tightly. His rough hands were like iron clamps, preventing her from breaking free. Luo Shuiyao bit her lip secretly. In this case, Jin Zi was quite irritable, so she would start with him.

She stopped struggling and lowered her eyes slightly. After a moment, she opened her eyes wide again, pretending to be ignorant, and said to them, "Brother Tiezhu, Brother Jinzi, are you going to take me home?"

Her eyes were truly beautiful, making the already astonished two even more unable to bear it. At this moment, Luo Shuiyao tilted her head slightly, revealing an innocent smile on her face, and her appearance was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

Wang Jinzi couldn't wait to take a step forward, pushed Li Tiezhu away, grabbed Luo Shuiyao's arm and said, "Come on, Brother Jinzi will take you back to play."

At this moment, the two of them completely forgot about the old witch lying on the ground and wailing.

Luo Shuiyao was pulled forward by him, feeling extremely anxious, but unable to show it. She frowned slightly and looked around, trying to find a possible savior.

But it was obvious that no one was coming this halfway because it was too late. She could only delay as much as possible, pretending to be weak and saying that her feet hurt and she couldn't walk, and walked slower, so as to find a way to escape the control of these two evil-minded people.

Unfortunately, he didn't meet anyone until he was dragged to the door of a dilapidated house by the two of them.

Luo Shuiyao thought to herself, could it be that I am going to capsize in this ditch today? She cast her eyes around, her nose twitching slightly, and she smelled a familiar smell.

Entering the house, Luo Shuiyao glanced around, taking in the surroundings. It was nothing more than a dilapidated dwelling, its walls mottled and stained, revealing the vicissitudes of time. The room was bare, save for a simple bed, placed there alone. The bed itself was shabby, its board worn to the point of revealing the grain of the wood. Atop it lay a worn straw mat, exuding a stale air.

Luo Shuiyao frowned slightly and covered her nose in disdain. Her face was filled with displeasure as she said, "Why is this house so shabby? There's not even a bed."

She turned to Wang Jinzi and said, "Brother, can you pour me a glass of water? I'm thirsty."

Then, she said in a gentle voice, "Also, I want to go to the toilet, brother, can you accompany me?" She looked at Li Tiezhu, her eyes filled with a bit of expectation and a bit of coquettishness.

Wang Jinzi was watching from the side, staring at Li Tiezhu with a gloomy face, and the sound of him grinding his teeth could be heard faintly.

Li Tiezhu gave him a soothing look and said softly, "Come on, I'll take you there."

Then he turned to Wang Jinzi and said, "Go get a bowl of water for your sister." Wang Jinzi was reluctant when he heard that, but in order to make things go smoothly, he had to turn around and go to get the water.

In the yard, Luo Shuiyao pointed at the thatched cottage and whispered, "Brother, can I go to the toilet over there?"

Li Tiezhu narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'll be watching you here."
