Chapter 136 Baiyu Village
Chapter 136 Baiyu Village
After walking for a long time, they finally returned to Baiyu Village.
Baiyu Village stands on a steep mountain, surrounded by dense forests, like a natural barrier.
The mountain is steep and rocky, and there is only a winding path leading to the village on the top of the mountain.
Walking into the village, you can see rough wooden houses scattered around in an orderly manner, with the thatched roofs swaying in the wind.
The road in the village is narrow and rugged, full of large and small stones and muddy puddles.
In the corner, there were piles of old weapons and sundries, giving off a smell of decay.
There was an open space in the center of the village, the ground had been trampled to be as hard as iron. It was where the bandits usually trained and gathered.
Tied to the surrounding wooden stakes were some flags that had been snatched from somewhere, fluttering weakly in the wind.
In the distance, a watchtower stood tall, and the bandits guarding it were looking around vigilantly.
Under the tower, flames were dancing in several braziers, and light and shadows were intertwined.
The blindfolded Ye Zirou heard a scream.
"The first and second in command are back!"
When the people in the village heard the news, they immediately became excited and cheered one after another.
Everyone ran out of their rooms, gathered in front of Bai Wan and Bai Qian, and asked them all kinds of questions.
"Look, guys, what good stuff we brought back."
Bai Qian patted his chest with a smug look on his face, followed by a group of tied-up, dejected captives.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that there were both men and women among the captives. Some of the men were wearing official uniforms and were obviously officials.
"Second Master, why...why are there police officers here? Did you even rob the police officers?"
A young bandit asked in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
"Hmph, you haven't seen the world." The second in command sneered.
"This is an exile team, full of criminals. But, the women here actually dared to hit our brothers. They really don't know how to live or die!"
As he spoke, he pointed at a woman in the crowd, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The person who spoke had a look of worry on his face.
"Village leader, robbing an official is no small matter. If the government investigates, our village will be in big trouble."
Bai Wan snorted coldly.
"What are you afraid of? Our Baiyu Village is in a strategic location, easy to defend but difficult to attack. What can the government do to us? Besides, this woman is so arrogant. If we don't teach her a lesson, how can our Baiyu Village survive in this area in the future?"
Bai Qian echoed, "Brother is right, let's lock them up first and try them carefully."
When Ye Zirou's blindfold was taken off, she found herself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by ferocious bandits.
Bai Qian stepped forward and said viciously: "My little beauty, now that you are in my Baiyu Village, let's see how arrogant you can be!"
Ye Zirou glared angrily.
"Really? Then we'll see."
Bai Wan said, "Second brother, don't waste your time talking to her. Lock her up and starve her for a few days."
Those vicious bandits brutally pushed them all into a dark wooden house and then slammed the door shut.
After the bandits left, Ye Zirou did not dare to delay for even a second and hurriedly got up to check their condition.
She frowned, her expression was serious, and her heart was full of doubts.
"Drug? How could he be drugged?"
Fortunately, it was just a drug and no treatment was needed. Everyone will wake up soon.
But Mo Tianyu's arm was injured and he had to be treated first.
She took out a pair of scissors from the space and carefully cut open his clothes.
Then she picked up the disinfectant, dipped a cotton ball in an appropriate amount, and gently applied it on the wound.
At this moment, Mo Tianyu let out a hiss and was awakened by the pain.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Ye Zirou treating his wound with great concentration.
I saw Ye Zirou frowning slightly, with concern and seriousness in her eyes.
She first used a clean white cloth to gently wipe the blood around the wound, being very careful with each wipe, for fear of hurting him.
"Are you awake? Does it hurt you?"
A warm current immediately surged in Mo Tianyu's heart, as if the pain was alleviated a little.
"No."
However, his thoughts quickly changed, his expression became a little more nervous, and he immediately held Ye Zirou's hand tightly.
"Rou'er, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Mo Tianyu felt relieved after hearing this, then he slowly turned his head and quickly looked around.
A dilapidated wooden house came into his sight. The light in the house was dim and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.
The ground was filled with people lying in various postures. Even the usually majestic yamen runners were lying on the ground, lifeless.
Mo Tianyu was full of suspicion, frowning tightly, and asked in confusion:
"Rou'er, what's going on with everyone? Is everyone poisoned?"
"No, you were just drugged and passed out."
Ye Zirou did not stop her movements and answered Mo Tianyu while helping him treat his wounds.
"What about you, Rou'er?"
"I'm not drugged. It may have something to do with my space."
"Drug? Everyone was drugged? Was it those people from Baiyu Village who did it?"
"I don't know either. Let me heal your wound first to prevent infection and inflammation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zirou stopped moving her hands and put everything back into the space.
"Okay, fortunately the wound is not deep." Ye Zirou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then they..."
"They will wake up on their own in a while. It's just drugs. It's nothing serious."
"We were...captured and taken back to Baiyu Village?"
"Yes, I just took a look. There aren't that many people in the village, and their martial arts skills aren't that strong either. They're easier to deal with than those men in black, but there are a lot of old, weak, and sick people here, so we can't fight them head-on."
Mo Tianyu pondered for a moment and said, "We really can't fight head-on. We have to think of a way to outsmart them. They must have some purpose in arresting us. Let's wait and see what they want to do."
Ye Zirou nodded in agreement.
Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou waited quietly for the others to wake up.
After a while, everyone gradually woke up, each with a confused look on their face, not knowing where they were.
Ye Zirou briefly explained the situation to everyone, and everyone was shocked and angry.
Some people started complaining, while others trembled with fear.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and everyone suddenly became nervous.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and several bandits walked in, saying viciously: "Behave yourself, or you will be in trouble!"
