Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 962 - 964: Do You Want to Earn More Silver?

Although it was already dark, Xiaoxiao could see very clearly because the bright torch illuminated her vision.

What appeared before her eyes was a very neatly arranged stockade, large and new, clearly just recently built.

It seemed these people had indeed only set up camp here recently.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the stockade, someone spoke to the returning bandits, "Old Three, why did it take you so long? It’s already dark."

"Hey, don’t mention it. By the time they arrived, it was almost dark, and that man could really fight, that’s what took the time," replied the man carrying Xiaoxiao.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao realized that the person carrying her was the third-in-command of this stockade, and the one asking questions must be the leader, right?

So Xiaoxiao immediately struggled and called out, "Put me down quickly, I have something to say to that big brother."

"..." Old Three was speechless for a moment. This woman just wouldn’t stop, what new tricks was she up to now?

The man’s eyes flickered with surprise, then he said, "Old Three, put her down."

And so Xiaoxiao was put down on the ground.

Back on the ground, Xiaoxiao felt as if she had regained her freedom.

Although she didn’t have to climb the mountain herself, being carried in such a posture up the mountain was truly exhausting, her whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Once she was on the ground, Xiaoxiao hurriedly stretched her arms and legs, she could almost hear her bones creaking.

Xiaoxiao’s actions made the bandits nearby gape in astonishment.

They were bandits, bandits! Is there anyone caught in a bandit’s den who wouldn’t be afraid at all? Could she at least respect their role?

Could Xiaoxiao really not be afraid? She wasn’t some superhuman, just a normal person, but she at least needed to loosen up her numb body, didn’t she?

Because of her fear, she only moved cautiously for a few seconds, but even that made the bandits admire her a bit; truly, the woman in front of them had guts.

Once stable, Xiaoxiao looked at the man she thought was the leader and said, "Big brother, I have something to say."

The man looked at Xiaoxiao, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Oh? What do you want to say to me?"

At this moment, fear gripped Xiaoxiao’s heart; she was in the bandits’ den and didn’t want to be killed immediately. She had to find a way to survive.

All along the way, she had been thinking, it must be because they can’t survive that they’ve become bandits. Surely if there was another way, they wouldn’t choose this path, right?

Bandits live by robbery, and what they lack is silver, so she could only find an opportunity to break through from there.

"Big brother, do you want to earn more silver?"

The man did not reply but instead displayed an inexplicable smile, which sent a shiver down Xiaoxiao’s spine. Was the man in front of her really a bandit?

It didn’t seem that way. Looking again at the group of bandits around her, the more Xiaoxiao looked, the less they resembled bandits.

In Xiaoxiao’s mind, the image of bandits was those rough and fierce-looking strongmen, scruffy, with malicious appearances.

But the ones in front of her were burly with clean faces, giving off more of a military air. Had she perhaps overthought this?

However, there was no time for Xiaoxiao to think more deeply. She continued, "Big brother, I see you’re being bandits, probably to make a living and earn more silver. But fighting and killing like this every day is so dangerous and might not even be profitable. Why not do business with me? I guarantee you can earn more than being bandits."
