Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 200 Collusion

Upon hearing this, the bandit trembled even more violently, his head pressed tightly to the ground, and he stammered, "I...I really can't do it, I'll kowtow to you, my dear lady."

"Please, have mercy and just let me go like a stinky fart!"

After saying that, he began to kowtow repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with a series of muffled thuds.

Just now, another bandit was sent flying far away by Su Yue and is now lying not far away, his life hanging in the balance.

He had just glanced at his companion, and in that single glance, he turned deathly pale and began trembling uncontrollably.

Because he saw that the brother who had been kicked away was spitting blood and his chest was caved in; his appearance was extremely miserable and terrifying.

Finally, Su Yue got annoyed; it was really boring.

Just have Dali take care of them; they're just a bunch of troublemakers anyway.

He acted swiftly and decisively, taking down all twenty-odd bandits in no time.

Only after Erdanzi's father saw that the bandits had all been dealt with did he and the other bound men jog over to express their gratitude.

"Thank you so much for saving us, we kowtow to you." Erdanzi's father took the lead and knelt down.

Su Yue and Dali quickly helped them up, saying repeatedly, "Oh dear, get up quickly, there's no need to be so polite!"

Actually, if we're going to say thank you, we should be the ones saying, "Thanks to your son, Erdanzi!"

He specifically asked me to tell you that your wife gave birth to a baby girl and that you should hurry home.

Moreover, he also said that you and your son look very alike, and if you met on the street, you would definitely be able to recognize which one is his father at a glance.

Hey, sure enough, this little guy looks exactly like you.

Alright, alright, you should hurry up and pack your things so we can head home quickly! We should get going too.

"Hehe, please excuse my benefactors, that kid Erdanzi is just a mischievous and naughty person."

"Then we'll bid farewell to our benefactors here." Erdanzi's father smiled憨态可掬 (憨态可掬 is a Chinese idiom meaning simple and honest) and waved goodbye to Su Yue and Dali.

The two turned and walked a short distance away when Su Yue turned back again, wanting to kindly remind Erdanzi's father and his group.

After all, the air here is filled with the smell of blood, and if they attract a pack of wolves from the vicinity, they won't be able to escape.

However, when Su Yue looked back again, what she saw astonished her.

They saw that Erdanzi's father and his gang were gathered around the corpses of the bandits, seemingly rummaging through them for something.

Even more unbelievable was that Su Yue clearly saw Erdanzi's father reach out and touch the bandit leader's bloodied and mangled face.

Good heavens! What a bizarre fetish!

Su Yue couldn't understand Erdanzi's father's behavior at all, and wondered if they shouldn't hate these bandits.

"Erdanzi's father! The stench of blood here is so strong, you should leave as soon as possible. After all, life is much more important than money!"

Su Yue's sudden shout startled Erdanzi's father, who was reaching out to touch the bandit leader's face, so much that he trembled all over.

The face that had been tinged with sadness instantly transformed into a fawning smile, as if by magic: "Oh dear, my benefactor, you're absolutely right!"

But... those damned bandits stole all the money we earned from selling goods with great effort!

We just wanted to find as much as possible so we could buy some good food and drinks for Erdanzi's mother at home, so she could take good care of herself.

Hearing this, Su Yue frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and said calmly, "Well, in that case, you'd better hurry up."

After saying that, he and Dali, who was beside him, did not linger any longer and continued to leave.

After the two had walked for a while, Su Yue suddenly felt a pang of unease, realizing that something seemed amiss.

The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed: Why didn't Erdanzi's father even ask her how she knew about Erdanzi's affairs?

Furthermore, he was clearly already bound hand and foot by the bandits, so logically he should have been filled with fear and resentment.

But why did he gently stroke the bandit leader's face with such a sorrowful expression?

Could it be... that Erdanzi's father has homosexual tendencies?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Su Yue couldn't help but shiver violently.

He quickly shook his shoulders a few times, as if trying to shake off all the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

"Dali, do you think there might be some kind of collusion between Erdanzi's father and the bandits?"

Su Yue frowned slightly, gently stroking her smooth chin with her right hand, and looked at Dali beside her, asking with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Dali's eyes widened in astonishment as he asked, "What? Is Erdanzi's father also a bandit?"

Su Yue shook her head, indicating that she wasn't sure either. She continued, "I just feel like there's something wrong with this place."

Think about it, these bandits have already kidnapped someone. Logically speaking, they should quickly take the hostage back to their lair!

But now, instead of doing that, they're running around with the hostages. Isn't that strange?

Moreover, I have carefully observed all the places we have passed through along the way.

Apart from the occasional figure that can be seen around the village, there is no other sign of human habitation in the surrounding area.

So, I've been thinking, maybe these bandits are actually from that village!

After saying this, Su Yue seemed to think the possibility was extremely high.

Meanwhile, Dali seemed to be deep in thought, seriously considering what Su Yue had said.

Erdanzi's father stood there, watching Su Yue and her companion walk further and further away until their figures completely disappeared from sight, before slowly turning around.

His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud. Then, with trembling hands, he tightly embraced the dead bandit leader.

Tears streamed down his dark red face like a burst dam. He wailed and cried out, "Brother! I'm useless! I couldn't protect you, and I can't avenge you!"

"It's all those two damned bitches' fault! If it weren't for them, brother, you wouldn't have suffered this misfortune and lost your life!"

At the same time, several other people gathered around.

They held the dead bandits whose arms and legs had been chopped off, and wept bitterly, their hearts breaking.

He cried as if his mother had died.
