It takes about two hours to walk from Qiu Shui Town to Zhangjia Village. Li Qingqing spent quite a long time in the town today.

It was already the afternoon, around 3 p.m., and by the time I got home, the sun would have probably set.

Li Qingqing didn't plan to hurry on her way. She walked slowly and leisurely, trying to avoid pedestrians as much as possible.

This road connects several surrounding villages, and villagers will come to Qiu Shui Town when they need to buy supplies.

But most people only go to the town on market days, such as Fridays and Octobers. There are not many pedestrians on the streets on weekdays.

The three men were all dressed in coarse cloth shorts, and looked no different from the other passers-by, making them inconspicuous.

Li Qingqing had just glanced at them before and didn't pay much attention to them.

But after walking for a while, she found that the three men seemed to be approaching her intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Qingqing suddenly thought of what she heard at the door of the teahouse in town last time.

Was she robbed?

It turns out that when you are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in your teeth!

Li Qingqing secretly thought about how to solve this matter, but remained calm on the surface.

There were almost no other pedestrians on the road at this moment, and the three men no longer concealed themselves and began to move closer to her.

One of the thin guys even joked, "Girl, aren't you afraid of running into bad guys when you're walking outside alone?"

Li Qingqing ignored her and quickened her pace to continue moving forward. She remembered that there was a small forest not far ahead.

If these three people had ill intentions and followed her, she would beat them so badly that even their own mother wouldn't be able to recognize them!

Just as Li Qingqing quickened her pace, the three men also quickened their pace at the same time and followed closely behind her.

Li Qingqing sneered in her heart and walked quickly towards the woods.

She was confident that she could deal with these three people without using her internal energy.

The reason why she led them into the grove was simply because she didn't want others to see her committing crimes, no, to punish evil and promote good!

After all, this is the main road leading to the town, and villagers from different villages occasionally pass by.

As soon as she reached the woods, Li Qingqing stopped and turned around to look at the approaching man with a teasing look.

One of the short young men took out a sharp dagger from his arms.

They were robbers!

The three men ran up to Li Qingqing. Before she could say anything, the short young man stepped forward, raised the dagger in his hand, and threatened viciously:

"If you know what's good for you, hand over all the money you have on you!"

He felt like laughing in his heart, thinking that this girl was too stupid to run into the woods. Wasn't she trying to give them money?

The thin man seemed to be the leader among them. He glared at the short young man and scolded him: "You idiot, I've told you so many times to be polite to a girl!"

When Didan heard this, he retreated to the side in disappointment, but he still stared at Li Qingqing with the viciousness in his eyes not diminished at all.

The thin man stepped forward and forced a dry laugh.

"Girl, don't be afraid." The thin man spoke in a low but somewhat cunning voice.

"We just want some money. We won't hurt you at all. As long as you hand over the money you have, we will ensure your safe departure."

Li Qingqing smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in her obsidian eyes.

She dusted herself off and said with a smile, "What if I say no?"

"Why didn't you? We all saw you sell so many prey today!" Didan interrupted, with a hint of greed in his tone.

He was the one who discovered this girl pushing a cart to sell her prey in the restaurant!

After he informed his companions, he saw the girl pushing a cart full of prey to sell at the market.

This is a little fat sheep!

"Ha!" Li Qingqing laughed.

"I do have some silver on me." Li Qingqing's voice was clear, "But if you want it, you have to show your ability to get it."

When the thin man heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he became a little angry. He actually saw provocation in this girl's eyes?

He waved his hand, signaling the other two to come forward.

The three of them immediately surrounded Li Qingqing and prepared to take action.

A bloodthirsty light flashed in Li Qingqing's eyes, and her body moved slightly, and she was already in a fighting posture.

She is not strong enough now, but without using her internal strength, she can deal with these three people with her clever strength.

She hates people who have bad intentions towards her the most. She will definitely beat them up and teach them a lesson!

However, just as they were about to fight, they heard a shout from afar: "Stop!"

Li Qingqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a scholar appearing from nowhere not far away, rushing towards her panting.

Looking closely, it seems somewhat familiar.

Isn’t this the scholar I met in the back mountain of Lihua Village?

This scholar, named Zhou An, also known as Zhou Yimo, prepared lunch for his mother at home before going to town, and now he was rushing home.

I happened to see these three men sneaking behind a girl.

There's a high probability that nothing good will happen!

As expected, seeing them chasing each other, Zhou Yimo felt very anxious.

Although he is just a scholar, he also has a sense of justice!

When he ran up, he stood directly in front of Li Qingqing, blocking her behind him.

"What do you want to do in broad daylight?"

Zhou Yimo tried to maintain his composure and tried to convince them with words.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of light in the short man's hand.

He was stunned for a moment, then realized that his situation seemed no better than that girl's?

Li Qingqing's eyes moved slightly. She was very close to Zhou An and could clearly see the scholar's thin back trembling slightly.

When the three men saw someone step forward, they were stunned at first, and then they all smiled with disdain. The man who had been silent before even laughed out loud.

The thin man glanced at Li Qingqing, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Oh, we don't want to do anything. We just want to borrow some money from this young lady!"

Zhou Yimo's eyes widened, his face slightly red with excitement. He raised his right hand angrily and said in a firm tone:

"You are committing robbery, which is illegal! Aren't you afraid of being prosecuted by the authorities?"

When Zhou Yimo moved south with his parents, he had never encountered a robbery. Now that he had encountered it for the first time in his life, his heart was beating a little.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, so he can only force himself to stay calm.

"Kid!" Didan raised the dagger in his hand, "Stop talking nonsense! If you know what's good for you, get out of the way and don't get in the way of our good fortune."

Zhou Yimo took a deep breath and tried to appear calmer: "I am a scholar, how can I bear to see you committing evil?"

The thin man laughed as if he had heard a joke:

"I was wondering who the hero was, but it turns out to be a scholar. So, do you want a scholar to save the beauty?"

As he spoke, he approached Zhou Yimo, and the other two men also surrounded him with sneers.

Li Qingqing's heart tightened. She led the three men into the woods because she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but now she couldn't care less.

She quickly thought in her mind how to subdue the three of them without hurting the scholar.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yimo suddenly shouted again: "Wait a minute!"

He took a deep breath, took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to the thin man.
