Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Chapter 98 "Encountering Bandits on the Road"

Suddenly a strong wind blew by, bringing down petals as densely as a curtain of rain, and ripples appeared on the lake in the distance.

Su Liu stared at the scene in front of him blankly, feeling that his heart was like the lake surface, which he couldn't control. When the wind blew, it wrinkled up layer by layer.

Shen Luochen stopped talking, and the air was eerily quiet, with only the dazzling pink color dancing in front of his eyes.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Several little guys suddenly came over, blinking with curiosity on their faces.

Although children do not understand what is happening, they are always keenly aware of the emotional changes of adults. As soon as they find that the atmosphere here is not right, they rush over.

Su Liu was still so immersed in the impact of what had just happened that she did not notice the children's actions. Instead, Shen Luochen reached out and touched the heads of the children soothingly, saying softly:

"It's okay. You're tired from playing. Come and have some snacks."

The three children were very sensible and did not ask further questions. However, seeing Su Liu's absent-minded look, they knew something was wrong, so they ate gloomily.

Su Liu felt that her heart was in a mess, and no matter how she tried to deal with it, she could not give herself a clear answer.

Because she found that she couldn't bear to leave here.

I don't know if he can't let go of those three children, or if he can't let go of... Shen Luochen.

On the way home, she didn't take the initiative to speak again, and the same was true for Shen Luochen sitting next to her.

The three dolls sat across from each other, all looking worried.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, almost throwing several people out, and several children hugged each other in panic.

Outside, the coachman shouted in terror:

"Who are you?"

Hearing this, both Su Liu and Shen Luochen realized that something was wrong and jumped out of the carriage almost at the same time.

Blocking the carriage was a group of people dressed as bandits, about five or six of them, each with a fierce look on their face and a burly figure.

"Hey, there's a young girl here who can definitely sell for a good price!"

Seeing the two people getting off the carriage, a bandit showed a vulgar look on his face and kept looking at Su Liu with his eyes.

"You're stupid. This man is strong, can work, and is worth more!" The man next to him hammered him hard, with a greedy look on his face.

In just a few words, Su Liu figured out what these people were doing.

They were probably just bandits who specialized in running between the city and the suburbs, making a living by kidnapping and selling people. From what they said, they should have arrested a lot of people.

She hadn't paid much attention to a few little thieves in the wild, but now she was feeling congested and could still vent.

"I'll tell you if I can catch my aunt!" She shouted and rushed out under Shen Luochen's slightly surprised gaze.

She first saw the opportunity, jumped behind a lone bandit, kicked him in the hip, and snatched the crescent moon sword from his hand.

These bandits had never received professional training and could only rely on their brute strength to act stupidly. Their flexibility of movement was far inferior to that of Su Liu. Several of them repeatedly attacked but could not even reach a corner of her clothes.

And with Su Liu's weapons, no one can match him.

She was unwilling to hurt anyone's life, so she forced a group of people to retreat with just the back of the knife, standing still and not daring to make any moves.

This scene made Shen Luochen a little stunned. This didn't seem to be the calm and cautious woman she knew before.

Su Liu vented the turmoil in his heart, put his hands on his hips, pointed the knife at the people in front of him, and said viciously:

"Tell me! How many other innocent people have you kidnapped, and where are you hiding them?"

Naturally, the bandits were unwilling to cooperate and remained silent in response to her questions. They still looked hostile and wary, as if they were still waiting for an opportunity to attack. Naturally, Su Liu didn't give this chance. He waved the knife in his hand, and with a flash of cold light, the knife was placed on the neck of the bandit leader.

"If you continue to refuse to tell the truth, it won't be as simple as the back of a knife next time."

There were bursts of cold light in her eyes. As soon as she finished speaking, the blade was already approaching the man's throat. The cold light was like lightning, making other bandits present look timid.

Under such strong pressure and coercion, the bandit leader finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"They, they are in that ruined temple halfway up the mountain. Girl, please spare your life."

Hearing this, Su Liu put down the knife and kicked the man's vital part hard. Suddenly, screams resounded throughout the forest.

Others were frightened and naturally did not dare to step forward.

Su Liu turned around and walked back with a victor's attitude, and said to Shen Luochen:

"Let's go and save people!"

Shen Luochen looked at her with a complicated expression, wondering for a moment who was the weak one.

They followed the clues left by the bandits before and found it halfway up the mountain. Sure enough, they saw a small ruined temple in a hidden place.

As expected, there were two people guarding the door of the ruined temple.

It's just that Su Liu didn't pay attention to so many strong men just now, and now these two guards are not worth mentioning.

After a brutal one-sided beating, the two guards ran away in turmoil.

Su Liu kicked open the door of the ruined temple, bringing up a burst of fine dust and smoke.

Several people in the temple were startled and raised their heads in horror.

Most of these people were children and women, and there were also a few young men. However, without exception, they were all wearing iron shackles and tattered clothes mixed with mud. Most of them were injured.

As soon as Su Liu approached, several people retreated cautiously.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." She explained patiently. The situation in front of her made her frown.

After listening to her words, everyone lowered their guard.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure among this group of people.

Even though the man's face was now dirty and his figure was much thinner and shriveled, she could never mistake his facial features.

"Su Tao?!" She couldn't help but scream.

"elder sister?"

Hearing this, Su Tao raised her head in disbelief. Her spirit seemed to be greatly stimulated, and her eyes were a little dazed and confused.

"Why are you here..."

Su Liu felt confused. Shouldn't Su Tao be able to stay in Xinghua Village and be abducted?

"I..." Su Tao stared at her blankly, suddenly her mouth dropped and tears fell.

"Mother, mother, she wants to sell me to a fool to marry my younger brother. If I don't want to, just..."

Su Tao changed from sobbing quietly at the beginning to crying loudly. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot of grievances these days.

"I finally ran out, and I actually met a bad guy, woo woo woo." (End of chapter)
