After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

Li Shu never expected that he could simplify the sign language he learned in his previous life into a secret code.

At first, I didn't learn many words, but I could still use them very smoothly. However, in the wild, sign language is not clear enough, so it is necessary to use it in conjunction with brightly colored flag signals when necessary.

Li Shu did not immediately go to capture the horse bandits.

To accomplish great things, one must know oneself and one's enemy. Therefore, before doing so, she tried her best to understand the distribution of bandits in the Lingshan area.

Feng shui maps do exist, but they are generally controlled by government agencies and the military, and ordinary people cannot buy them.

However, there are many herb gatherers or snake catchers in the county town, and they may have some simple maps, but the map area is not very large.

Li Shu bought some from these people and tried his best to piece them together and understand them.

About ten days later, Li Shu began to frequently leave the town entrance.

After leaving the town, the main road leads in two directions: one towards Yicheng and the other towards the military camp. The main road connects north and south, but there are many small mountain paths. These mountain paths are rugged and can even lead around to the back of Wuzhuang North Mountain. These paths are very difficult to travel.

That day, she followed the agreed-upon direction as usual, but as soon as she left the town, a swift horse came and, without saying a word, bound her.

Li Shu did not resist, he just screamed.

After the horse had been traveling for a while, Li Shu, who had been thrown onto its back, was finally pulled off.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Li Shu was very panicked, his face changed as he looked at the group of people.

She was a young woman, and these people didn't take her seriously; they didn't even tie her hands or feet.

Li Shu knew that these bandits had no bottom line, and if she were caught, she would definitely lose both her wealth and her virtue. So before that, she put a lot of things in her space.

In this era, black powder also existed on the battlefield, but its use was limited.

Fireworks and firecrackers are available in the countryside, but they are relatively expensive, so Li Shu did not buy them to hoard.

She bought a lot of edible flour, which wasn't cheap, but she wouldn't waste it if she didn't need it.

She had secretly tested the power of the flour bomb on North Mountain and knew it could be used to save her life if necessary.

The space contained all sorts of weapons, as well as ample quantities of rat poison and laxatives. When she went up the mountain before, she even dug up a lot of winter snow and ice, which is now all stored inside. It's enough to scare people if necessary.

But at this moment, Li Shu was like a helpless child.

"Us? Hahaha... This little girl is quite naive, can't she see that? We are all mountain kings!" One of the people in front of them said with a laugh, his eyes confident and completely unguarded.

"Mountain King? You're bandits! Why are you arresting me? I'm just an orphan, my parents are dead, I have no money!" Li Shu shouted hurriedly.

As Li Shu spoke, he quickly gripped the purse at his waist.

She asked her aunt, Mrs. Chen, to make it; Mrs. Zhu was very skilled.

Upon seeing her movement, the other party immediately stepped forward and snatched the purse away. Li Shu reached out to grab it but missed.

"Brother, look, ten taels of silver, and a bead. This bead looks like it should sell for twenty taels of silver! The news was right!"

Li Shu said with a bitter face, "Those were treasures my cousin bought for me as a gift! These are all I have!"

"Little girl, as long as you tell the truth, we won't hurt you. Where did you dig up this bead?" The person opposite laughed even more unrestrainedly. "We heard you found a treasure? You've been going out every day lately, have you been digging for treasure?"

They had secretly sent people to follow them for two days, but this little girl was quite clever and used the terrain to shake them off.

Left with no other option, they had to simply tie the person up.

Upon hearing these words, Li Shu trembled with fear: "I...I don't know anything about any treasure..."

Upon hearing this, the other party raised their hand to strike.

Li Shu fell to the ground, clutching his head in terror: "Don't kill me... I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"..." The bandits were stunned for a moment. The one who had just made his move looked at his empty hand and felt rather bored. "Brother, this is still a girl after all. She has no backbone or courage at all. She gets scared like this just by waving her hand..."

"Let her lead the way, keep a close eye on her, don't let her escape," the bandit leader said bluntly.

Li Shu was pulled up.

Her eyes were slightly red, she sniffed twice, and then stood pitifully at the front, her steps trembling slightly as she walked forward. But after a couple of steps, she asked resentfully, "How did you know I had the beads? I told my cousin about it... Could it be..."

"She betrayed me?! How could this happen? I trusted my cousin so much, how could she do this to me... Waaah..." Li Shu muttered to herself, looking quite pitiful.

The bandits exchanged glances, becoming even more emboldened, and laughed unrestrainedly.

Li Shu cried all the way.

The mountain road was quiet; apart from the bandits, there was no one else around. Even the whimpering sounds sounded somewhat eerie.

When they reached the halfway point, the horses could no longer go any further, and the withered grass and branches all around made it almost impossible for them to take a step.

"You're not up to any tricks, are you? Let me tell you, this ravine is perfect for burying corpses. If you don't find anything, you can forget about getting back alive!" The man guarding Li Shu was full of threats and was very hostile.

"If I hand over all the money, do you think you'll let me go?" Li Shu asked pleadingly.

"Let you go?" The other party sneered. "We could let you go up the mountain to be a good wife! Our men have inquired about you. We heard that your parents are gone and you're all alone, right? As long as you can perform a great service, our brothers will protect you from now on!"

As they spoke, a lewd smile played on their lips.

Li Shu is good-looking, and after a period of recuperation, his body is no longer so thin.

Moreover, her daily martial arts training has made her muscles look more toned, healthy, and heroic.

These bandits had also inquired about her beforehand and knew that she was all alone and had been driven away by her younger brother to seek refuge with her uncle's family. There were very few unfamiliar faces in Wuzhuang, so their men didn't dare to get too close. However, they had also heard that the girl had bought a house.

The little girl's money came from nowhere, so this treasure story is most likely true.

Li Shu led them for a long time, nearly two hours, before they finally arrived at their destination.

It was a low-lying area in the mountains, with some signs of footsteps around it.

After observing for a while, they felt more at ease, as these traces proved that the little girl had indeed been here.

"It's right between these trees. You have to dig down a bit. There's a big box inside, full of gold and silver treasures. I can't carry it all away, and I'm afraid it'll attract too much attention, so I can only take a little bit each time... I only found out about this place by chance. A while ago, I wanted to learn how to gather herbs, and I found my way to this area. It had just rained then, and the treasures on top of the box were washed out..." Li Shu muttered nervously.

"I was afraid these things would be discovered, so... I buried the box even deeper..."
