Lai Si and his group followed the creek upwards.
Suddenly, Lai Si reached out and lowered his voice: "Shh, they’re right over there!"
The bandits quickly hid behind the nearby woods to observe.
The teacher and the students were scattered by the creek, playing.
Lai Si took a portrait out from his chest pocket.
He compared it with Bai Zhi’er, who was sitting on a stone talking with Fang Wushen.
"Big eyes, a small face, looks just over four years old, it’s definitely this little girl, there should be no mistake." Lai Si squinted his eyes.
The bearded man followed suit and scrutinized.
He rasped, "Boss, did that gentleman ntion why we have to kidnap this little girl?"
"Didn’t we say, there’s honor among thieves, no harm to children and won?"
Lai Si glanced at him, putting the portrait back into his pocket.
"We’re only taking her, we won’t harm her. Once we get the ransom from her family, we’ll naturally release her. Besides, that gentleman has other arrangents, don’t ask, you wouldn’t understand even if you asked!"
Houzi scratched his head, "But look at the way that little girl is dressed, she seems like a young lady from a wealthy family."
"If we provoke a powerful noble family, wouldn’t we end up in prison again?"
The others sighed, "Prison again? Last ti, for attempted arson, we were locked up for almost a year!"
Lai Si reprimanded, "Enough with the nonsense! We’re living the Jianghu life, always licking blood off the blade, how can we fear prison?"
"If you don’t want to make this money, you can leave now!"
Just as he finished speaking, the bearded man suddenly collapsed, unconscious, with foam at his mouth.
This startled the surrounding bandits.
"Old Three! What’s wrong, Old Three!"
They gathered around him.
At this mont, the skinny man resembling a monkey also clutched his abdon, sweating profusely.
"No, my stomach hurts so much!"
After saying that, he fell to the ground, unable to hold back a few groans due to the intense pain.
The bandits hurriedly covered Houzi’s mouth.
Fang Wushen was amusing Bai Zhi’er.
Seemingly hearing sothing strange, he turned his head, glancing at the distant woods.
Was soone calling over there?
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes, curiously asking, "Brother Wuxi, you haven’t finished telling, how old were you when you first followed Uncle Fang to the military camp?"
"Four and a half, about the sa age as you." Fang Wushen ca to his senses, smiling as he spoke to the little one.
And in the woods over there, Houzi was already unconscious from the severe pain.
The surrounding bandits suddenly panicked.
"Boss, what do we do now? We haven’t even acted, and Old Three and Houzi are already down! I fear there’s a colorless and odorless poison in this forest!"
Lai Si’s expression turned serious.
The brothers around him said, "Let’s head back, treating Old Three and Houzi is more important!"
"No way!" Lai Si imdiately vetoed, "We’ve taken the silver, how can we leave without doing anything? How else can we survive in Jianghu in the future?"
He thought for a mont and then decided, "Old Four and Old Five, you two carry Old Three and Houzi down the mountain and take them to the clinic!"
The others were shocked, "With the four of us leaving, won’t it just be you and the other three brothers left? Can you still manage to kidnap that girl?"
Lai Si chuckled, "She’s just a little child, can’t the four of us handle her? Stop worrying and leave now!"
So, two of the bandits each carried the unconscious Old Three and Houzi and quickly left through the underbrush.
They hadn’t even acted yet, and they already lost four brothers.
Lai Si looked serious.
Why does he have a sense of foreboding?
