Chapter 964 - 966: Bandit Stronghold
At this moment, Xiaoxiao was being escorted into the stockade by two bandits.
Xiaoxiao was practically on the verge of tears, struggling and shouting, "Hey, wait a minute, who said I want to be the stockade wife? I have a husband, and I have kids too."
"It’s such a loss for you to find a woman like me to be the stockade wife. You should go for those young maidens."
"I can help you earn silver, and you can’t find the kind of wife you want?"
"I’m so ugly, I won’t bring you any harm. Let someone else be the stockade wife. I’d rather be your think tank and help you earn silver."
"Hey, don’t leave, let’s talk some more."
"..."
"..."
As Xiaoxiao kept shouting from behind, the man in front had his lips twitch slightly. What a sharp-tongued woman, she’s really pulling out all the stops to leave this bandit nest. With self-recommendation and self-deprecation, it’s truly tough for her.
But, having finally captured someone and brought them up the mountain, how could they just let her go so easily?
Hearing Xiaoxiao’s noisy chatter, the third brother spoke up, "Sister-in-law, stop shouting. Marrying my big brother and becoming the stockade wife isn’t so bad."
Xiaoxiao was fuming at this moment when the third brother’s words hit her like a bullet, she immediately cursed, "Not in your dreams. Who would want to be a bandit’s wife? Keep dreaming. And who are you calling sister-in-law? If you call me that again, I’ll tear your mouth apart."
"..."
Everyone sighed in astonishment. What a fierce woman! She actually dared to confront the bandits. Isn’t she afraid for her life?
They couldn’t help but touch their faces, wondering if they looked bandit-like enough.
Faced with Xiaoxiao’s curses, the third brother suddenly roared, "Whether you want to or not, you have to. It’s not up to you. Get moving."
Xiaoxiao was so focused on venting that she forgot she was dealing with a group of bandits. This roar suddenly brought her to her senses, so she stopped cursing and shouting, deciding to wait for a better opportunity.
And so, Xiaoxiao was taken into the stockade. She looked around, assessing the terrain which might help her escape in the future.
What she saw left her stunned once again.
The stockade was illuminated all around with torches, practically like daylight, allowing Xiaoxiao to see clearly.
This didn’t look like a stockade at all. It looked more like the courtyard of a wealthy household, so stylish on the inside.
There was even a design with small bridges and flowing water. Even at night, it seemed quite lovely inside the stockade, let alone during the day.
Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but marvel, is this really a bandit nest? It looked more like a secluded mountain villa.
Such a place, so close to nature, was actually quite a great spot for retirement.
Is there someone with such taste among these bandits? Could it be the bandit leader from earlier?
Before Xiaoxiao could think more, she was brought to the door of a room.
The door creaked open, and Xiaoxiao was pushed inside, "Stay here honestly. Wait to take part in the wedding ceremony with my big brother."
The door creaked shut again, and from outside came a voice, "Guard this place well. Absolutely don’t let her escape. If she does, you’ll be held accountable."
Xiaoxiao was speechless. It was brightly lit outside, but inside it was pitch dark. They could at least give her a candle.
The shadow of the Door God at the entrance was clearly visible to her, and with the stockade being so large and having so many people, it seemed rather difficult for her to escape.
She wondered if they had captured Yang Ming and An’an too. Fortunately, she wasn’t bound right now, so she would bide her time and ask when the opportunity arose.
