Chapter 1319: Chapter 1314: Set Up by Old Mrs. Mu
"Cook? I’m not cooking! That work will tire someone to death, and besides, do I even know how many people are in their whole village?"
Old Mrs. Mu was unwilling!
Ever since she became a mother-in-law, she no longer cooked meals.
The household chores were all done by the daughter-in-law.
The only times she would make an exception was for her daughter Xiangxiang and her son Mu Dade.
As for the others, they shouldn’t even dream about eating the food she cooks!
"Heh—" Mu Shuangshuang almost wanted to laugh.
"Grandma, do you think this is a matter where there’s room for negotiation? Whether you wish to do it or not does not matter!
Let me tell you something honest, among the several dozens of households in Wang Family Village, the wives of twenty-five men were purchased.
If we really forcefully take you away, these men will certainly oppose it. Do you think we should save you or not save you?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Save your grandmother! Today, none of you even think of running away!"
Just as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, a coarse male voice boomed from outside the door.
Immediately, dozens of torches were lit simultaneously.
The entire house had been surrounded, and from the windows outside the house, moving silhouettes could be seen.
The shadows stretched long, surely the outside was full of robust men!
Only then did Mu Shuangshuang realize that she had been tricked!
"Grandma, you..." Mu Shuangshuang suddenly realized that when Zhu San was speaking, Old Mrs. Mu was very calm, not the least bit surprised.
"Shuang, I didn’t want this either, that old beast said if I didn’t reveal your whereabouts, he would... he’d let me..."
Old Mrs. Mu cared most about her own purity.
In the afternoon, when Zhu San returned, he beat her viciously.
After the beating, he asked if she was colluding with Qin Xianglan, and naturally, Old Mrs. Mu wouldn’t admit it.
Who knew, Zhu San had his foolish son come and strip Old Mrs. Mu’s clothes.
With no choice left, Old Mrs. Mu said everything.
"You really are something! Now, both of us are going to die here!" Mu Shuangshuang sarcastically shouted at Old Mrs. Mu.
Old Mrs. Mu’s face turned red in an instant.
After doing so many things, this was the only time she felt guilty.
But even so, she still stubbornly said, "That’s because you’re not capable, if you were, how couldn’t you save me?"
Mu Shuangshuang glared at Old Mrs. Mu. This old lady, was her brain eaten by pigs?
Mu Shuangshuang was about to explode with anger, but she knew this was not the time to be angry.
She took out her dagger, which she carries with her, and cut the ropes binding Old Mrs. Mu.
"Come with me!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Old Mrs. Mu refused because she knew leaving definitely meant death.
She wanted to wait for the government to rescue her.
"I’m not leaving, you go if you want!" Old Mrs. Mu said.
"Don’t regret it!" Mu Shuangshuang dropped those words, retrieved two arrows from her quiver, set them up, and kicked the door open with a foot.
When she came out, Mu Shuangshuang heard the sound of inhalation from quite a few men around her.
"It’s actually a woman, and she dares to barge into our village!"
"A woman is great, and she looks good too. I’ve been looking at those ugly women for so long that I’m sick of it! Brother Zhu San, once we grab this woman, let’s have some fun together!"
One man looked at Mu Shuangshuang with a lewd expression.
The other men also laughed along.
Mu Shuangshuang used her peripheral vision to count, there were exactly twenty-five people both inside and outside the courtyard!
It seemed she was right; these people had already reached some kind of consensus!
Whenever someone tries to take away the women who were trafficked here, they would band together!
"Hmph, you all don’t know, but this woman is quite wealthy! She’s got taverns, academies, and what not! I heard she’s got a man, but unfortunately, he’s gone to the military camp!" Zhu San exposed all of Mu Shuangshuang’s background.
Mu Shuangshuang called back to Old Mrs. Mu, who was hiding inside, "Grandma, why are you still hiding in there? Do you think hiding will make those people let you go?"
Old Mrs. Mu, unwilling to cry without seeing the coffin, Mu Shuangshuang wanted her to suffer a bit!
Old Mrs. Mu refused to come out, she kept shrinking into the corner of the wall, afraid of being discovered.
Her actions naturally made Zhu San and his men laugh even harder, and someone even pointed at Old Mrs. Mu saying, "Brother Zhu San, that old woman is too old, not suitable to be your daughter-in-law!
Why not grab this young girl, she’s the right age, and most importantly, she seems capable; she might even make your family kid a wealthy person!"
The men of Wang Family Village laughed blatantly at Mu Shuangshuang and Old Mrs. Mu.
They were not afraid of the bow and arrow in Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, as if that weapon had no lethality, like it was just straw.
Mu Shuangshuang had tolerated enough, she waited for that man to laugh heartily, then suddenly drew the bow.
Two arrows flew out simultaneously, grazing the man’s arm and embedding into his flesh.
With a puff, the sound of the arrowhead slicing into flesh was heard!
Then, the man’s arm began to bleed.
The man knelt on the ground, holding his arm, groaning in constant pain.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
"This little wench dared to make a move, kill her!"
The men raised their hoes, axes, and various tools, yelling at Mu Shuangshuang.
"Yes, kill her!"
At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang picked up two more arrows, this time aiming at Zhu San’s head.
"If you are not afraid of death, then come! I don’t mind sending a few more heads your way!" Mu Shuangshuang shouted.
She held the bow and arrows in her hand, her eyes sharp, exuding an aura warning strangers to stay away,
Standing at the door, she gave off a vibe as though she could block the advance of ten thousand men.
Zhu San hesitated, not daring to move!
Especially when he realized that Mu Shuangshuang was targeting him!
Every time Zhu San moved, Mu Shuangshuang’s arrows would find a target and aim at his head again.
"You... you put down the bow, and we’ll let you go!" Zhu San said.
"Do you think I’m as stupid as my grandmother?" Mu Shuangshuang sneered.
"You... you only have ten arrows, you’ve used two, you can’t kill so many of us!" Zhu San said.
After speaking, he turned to the villagers and said, "Let’s all go at once. I don’t believe that woman can kill so many of us with eight arrows!"
Zhu San was inciting the villagers, but when it came to inciting emotions, Zhu San was no match for Mu Shuangshuang.
"I can’t kill all of you, but I can kill one at a time! Which of you is willing to be the sacrifice,
helping Zhu San find a wife while sacrificing your own life? If you die, Zhu San gets to live the good life, eating well and drinking heartily!"
Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, some villagers stepped back a few steps!
None of them were willing to lose their lives for others!
"You see that, they don’t want to die with you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Today, if these people were well-trained, Mu Shuangshuang might have been afraid, but since they were just a ragtag bunch, as long as she had her bow and arrows, she wasn’t afraid of them charging at her!
