Chapter 27 At this moment, her life hangs by a thread
A group of men in black suddenly sprang out from the woods, followed by a noisy fight.
The tranquility of the woods was instantly shattered.
Su Li was completely stunned. After a slight hesitation, she immediately squatted down, hid in the bushes, and covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
Opposite the group of men in black was a band of mountain bandits wielding long knives. They seemed to have just come out of their stronghold and were preparing to go down the mountain to plunder when they encountered these men in black of unknown origin.
"Heroes, my fellow heroes! We have no grudges against each other, why must we fight and kill each other?"
"Please spare our brothers, and we will surely reward you with countless gold and jewels in return. Why must we fight to the death like this?"
The middle-aged man who was the leader of the bandits could not withstand the fierce attack from the other side, so he had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.
He was also a little confused. When did such a group of well-trained and highly skilled men in black come to the mountains?
Normally, they only go to the villages at the foot of the mountain to rob and plunder. Although it is inevitable that some villagers will be killed or injured, there is no other way. Without some bloodshed, who would obediently hand over money and women?
This is such a small matter, it shouldn't offend any important figures, right?
These men in black remained silent, showing no interest in the gold and silver treasures; it was clear they were there to take their lives!
"Damn it! I'm so unlucky to have run into you bunch of scourges today. If there ever comes a day, I'll make you pay for this in blood!"
Seeing that things were not going well, the middle-aged man dropped his weapon and ran away.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard a soft "plop" sound. He suddenly felt a chill in his chest and slowly looked down. He saw that the silver tip of the sword was covered with bright red blood droplets, like a deadly and alluring red lotus.
My vision gradually blurred, and I collapsed, feeling weak all over.
"Big brother! Big brother, you—"
"Run! Our leader is dead! They actually killed him! We have to get back to the stronghold and report to the chief!"
The bandits were ashen-faced, their eyes wide with terror, as they desperately fled into the depths of the forest.
But no one could escape the fate of death. The man in black swiftly sheathed his sword and left, and the noisy forest finally returned to tranquility.
Seeing this, Su Li, who was hiding behind the bushes, finally felt relieved, although her back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Although they didn't know who those men in black were, killing the bandits was a good thing for the nearby villages.
Su Li patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. This deep mountain was indeed not easy to enter.
Besides the complex terrain and the lurking wolves and tigers, she also forgot about the bandits.
It's best to go back soon; who knows if those men in black will come back...
Su Li leaned against the tree trunk beside her, barely managing to support her trembling legs. She tightened her basket on her back, turned around, and prepared to go down the mountain. But when she turned around, she bumped into the figure behind her.
Her foot slipped, and the stones in her basket were too heavy, so Su Li instinctively reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the person opposite her to steady herself.
But this grab had an unexpected effect; it ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing his cold and stern expression.
Su Li's heart clenched suddenly, and her scalp tingled instantly.
This...this person was clearly left behind to silence her!
Even if they didn't intend to kill her, now that she had torn off the man's mask and seen his face, he was doomed!
In an instant, Su Li felt as if something was blocking her throat, and her breathing became rapid.
Could this be the meaning of "Heaven's will," a punishment for her altering the original plot?
"Ha, I'm afraid I'm really going to die here today..."
Su Li gave a self-deprecating laugh, her mind surprisingly calm. She slowly raised her eyes and looked calmly at the man in black opposite her.
She was going to die anyway, so one more look wouldn't hurt; she didn't want to be a confused ghost.
But with just that casual glance, Su Li froze on the spot, her face full of astonishment.
"You, you're that Pei family kid from the village entrance? What are you doing here?"
The Pei family is a special family in Linshui Village.
Originally, there was only an elderly couple in their fifties living in the house. But ten years ago, a distant relative sent them a son and a daughter, who have been raised by the Pei couple ever since.
The brother and sister rarely interacted with the villagers. In both of her lives, Su Li had only seen Pei Xiao a few times from afar.
Oh, by the way, I heard the name Pei Xiao from someone else.
Pei Xiao was agile, his black clothes swaying gently in the wind, exuding an aura that made him unapproachable.
Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, outlining a cold and hard profile. A few strands of hair on his forehead were damp with sweat, but this did not diminish his extremely cold and unique temperament; on the contrary, it added a touch of unruliness to it.
But at this moment, his cold eyes were filled with murderous intent, like a tiger staring at its prey, his sharp gaze piercing straight into the depths of one's soul, making one feel terrified.
Su Li's pupils trembled slightly. She understood that even though she and Pei Xiao were both from the same village, she had seen something she shouldn't have, and she would not be able to leave this forest alive.
Her gaze fell on the long sword in Pei Xiao's hand, where blood dripped slowly down the blade, staining a large patch of soil beneath her feet.
It seems they had already discovered that I was hiding in the bushes behind the tree, so they deliberately left one person behind to cover my retreat.
Pei Xiao was clearly the best candidate.
He killed himself, changed his clothes, and left the forest. He was surrounded by villagers he had known for ten years, so he didn't attract any attention.
Pei Xiao simply stared at her coldly without saying a word. He raised his hand to wipe away the few drops of blood splattered on his face, which looked particularly ferocious and terrifying in the dappled light, like a deadly demon returning from hell.
Su Li smiled bitterly to herself. Was he waiting for her to say her last words before he made a move?
They really are from the same village; this is special treatment, isn't it?
When they killed those bandits, they didn't even blink; with a swift stroke of their knives, they easily dispatched more than a dozen burly men.
“I know you must have your secrets, but I also have my reasons for living. I won’t get in your way, nor will I reveal everything I’ve seen today. I know something extremely important that could shake the very foundations of the Great Wei Kingdom…”
Su Li took a deep breath, steadied herself, and looked directly into Pei Xiao's emotionless eyes:
"Anyway, I can't run away now. Do you want to listen to this before you consider whether to kill me or not?"
Pei Xiao remained expressionless and silent, clearly not believing Su Li's words at all.
Will it shake the very foundation of the Great Wei?
How could a village girl possibly know about something like this?
Su Li calmly put down her basket, carefully took out the black stones covered by grass one by one, and neatly arranged them between the two of them, gesturing for Pei Xiao to look.
Pei Xiao frowned slightly, remained silent for a long time, and then his lips, not usually inclined to speak, uttered a few words with difficulty:
"What do you mean?"
