Chapter 85 - 85 They Came to Offer Their Heads

85 They Came to Offer Their Heads

Su Ying’s scythe sliced off the heads of several people in a row. She looked at the remaining people icily, her eyes almost consumed by fury.

“Where did you come from, you beasts? How dare you come to my territory and make a ruckus? I think you’re tired of living!”

...

The group’s leader stared at the bloody scythe in Su Ying’s hand and realized that he had messed with the wrong person. He instinctively wanted to retreat.

Su Ying saw through their intentions and gave a scornful sneer. “You want to run? In your dreams! Close the gate!”

Jiang Yang and Wang Su quickly ran over and shut the wooden gate.

Su Ying threw the scythe in her hand on the ground and picked up the wooden rod for controlling the campfire nearby.

When those guys saw that Su Ying had changed her weapon, they became bold once more.

“She’s just a woman. Brothers, let’s attack together and kill her!”

Those people roared and pounced on Su Ying collectively.

Su Ying looked at the sinister faces contorted with anger and gave a disdainful snort. She slowly raised the wooden rod in her hand and hit those people ruthlessly.

Those people thought that Su Ying wouldn’t be able to kill them now that she didn’t have the scythe in her hand. To their surprise, the rod she swung down on them was a lot more painful than taking their lives outright.

The moment the wooden gate was shut, Su Ying demonstrated perfectly the profound meaning of the idiom, “Shut the door and beat the dog.”

The men were screaming and running around the courtyard, but they were like puppets in Su Ying’s hands. No matter where they ran, they couldn’t escape the rod in Su Ying’s hand.

In the end, all of them were beaten by Su Ying until they were kneeling on the ground. “Heroine, please have mercy. We won’t dare to do it again. We won’t dare to do it again…”

Su Ying looked at the people kneeling on the ground and didn’t have any intention of letting them off. She walked up to them with the rod and hit their backs.

“Argh!” The blows hurt so much that the men howled in pain. “How dare you break my gate! You deserve to die!”

Pow! The rod hit the body of another person.

“We were wrong, heroine. We… we will pay for it. We will pay for it!”

The rod in Su Ying’s hand paused momentarily, and then she turned to look at the wolves in the courtyard. She barked out, “Kneel here obediently!”

After saying that, she turned around and entered the house. When she came out again, she had a gun in her hand.

She went behind those people and shot them in the neck.

Those people only felt a slight prick of pain in their necks, and they all turned to look at Su Ying in bewilderment.

Su Ying looked down at them and gave a scornful laugh. “I just had an idea on how to solve my manpower shortage problem.”

Those people knelt on the ground and shivered.

“Get your asses up. If my gate isn’t repaired by today, I’ll kill all of you!”

Those people answered repeatedly, “Yes, yes. We’ll definitely get it repaired for you.”

Su Ying looked at Tian Mu and said, “Tian Mu, arrange some work for them. All of you who are injured, come into the house.”

Tian Mu nodded. “Alright.”

Su Ying tossed the wooden rod aside and entered the house. Inside the house, Xiao Jin was already awake after the anesthesia wore off.

“You’re awake.”

Xiao Jin nodded, feeling a little cold. “What’s wrong? What happened outside?”

Su Ying said nonchalantly, “Some bastards were here to offer their heads. Don’t worry about them.”

Xiao Jin frowned and turned to look at his two legs.

Su Ying smiled at him when she saw his reaction. “Don’t worry. The treatment was very successful, but it would take a month or two for your tendons and veins to fully grow back. During this time, you should relax and recuperate. Don’t rush to walk.”

Xiao Jin nodded, and a bright glint lit up in the depths of his dark eyes. “Mm-hmm.”

After making sure that Xiao Jin was fine, Su Ying went to the room next door to check on the injuries on Jiang Yang and the rest.

They had more or less suffered some injuries, but fortunately, the wounds were not serious, so they would be fine as long as their wounds were treated in time.

After Su Ying finished bandaging their wounds, she walked into the courtyard.

After Hea Shouyi directed those people to repair the wooden gate, he instructed them to chop bamboo. The bamboo was to be used to make furniture and was used in large quantities. After the mercenaries went to chop trees in the mountains, the progress of the work slowed down. Now that these people had arrived, they just happened to fill in their manpower needs.

Su Ying walked to the porch of the wooden building and looked at those people as she said, “What did you guys do in the past?”

The group’s leader glanced at Su Ying and said spinelessly, “We were bandits. We were later captured by the Imperial Court and exiled to the northern wilderness.”

“Who told you to come this way?” The Tiger Base was so big, and these people were new here. They could have gone anywhere but why did they come here? Was it such a coincidence?

“It was an old woman who told us. She said there’s a new house here. She said that as long as we can snatch it, it’ll be ours. We… we just want to find a place to stay. Heroine, please let us go.”

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes flashed with rage. “Old woman? Where did you meet this old woman?”

“At… at that road over there. At the intersection.”

Su Ying narrowed her eyes. “Bring me to her.”

“Alright.”

Su Ying stood up and her eyes swept icily over the people beneath her. “You’d better behave yourselves. Since I dared to keep you guys here, I naturally have a way to deal with you. Don’t think that you can have any evil thoughts just because I’m gone. Otherwise, at that point, you won’t even know how you died.”

With Su Ying present, those people could only nod their heads and bow low, expressing their affirmation that they wouldn’t dare.

Su Ying gave an icy smirk. “Uncle Hea, watch them carefully. I’ll be back in a while.”

“Alright.”

Su Ying followed the group’s leader out of the courtyard.

As soon as they left, the bandits who were left in the courtyard began to have ideas.

If Su Ying hadn’t appeared back then, the people in the courtyard wouldn’t have been a match for them. Now that Su Ying was gone, they just had to kill the people in the courtyard to escape.

To their surprise, the moment they had this thought, someone collapsed to the ground with a splitting headache.

“My head… My head hurts… It hurts… Help…”

“Me… me too. My head hurts too… Argh!”

Su Ying was leaning outside the gate, listening to the screams of pain coming from the courtyard in a nonchalant manner. She looked at the bandit leader’s ashen white face without expression.

“Did you see that? Not to mention running away, even if they had some thoughts that they shouldn’t have, they would be better off dead.”

The bandit leader’s face turned even more unpleasant.

“We… we definitely won’t run away. Please let us live, heroine.”

“Work hard for me, and I might be merciful enough to let you guys live.”

The bandit leader immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Su Ying.

“Cut the crap. Move.”

The bandit leader got up and quickly led the way.

The bandit leader brought Su Ying to the place where they met the old woman and pointed with his outstretched hand. “It’s in front. That’s her. It’s that old woman who told us.”

Su Ying raised her head and looked at the old woman not far away.

The old woman seemed to have sensed Su Ying’s gaze and looked back at her.

Their eyes met, and the killing intent spread out in all directions.
