"You just said you wanted to rob me?"
Lu Qing carried his belongings in his hands and on his back, looking calmly ahead.
In front of him, five or six people blocked the road, holding sticks and looking at him with ill intent.
If Magu were here, he would recognize these people as Chen San and his gang of thugs, whom he had warned and disciplined before.
At this moment, Chen San and the others were staring greedily at the things on Lu Qing's body.
Especially when I saw the pork in the bamboo basket, I almost drooled.
More than half a month ago, they were beaten up by people at the market and it took them several days to recover from their injuries.
As a result, he spent all the money he had left.
They haven't eaten meat for more than ten days now.
Originally, I was thinking that I might be able to stop one or two unlucky guys on the street and extort some money from them.
Unexpectedly, such a large and fat sheep has arrived.
Seeing the meat, rice, and noodles in Lu Qing's basket, Chen San and the others almost had their eyes light up with greed.
How much are these things worth?!
Perhaps because Lu Qing had changed so much during this period, Chen San and his group failed to recognize him as the kid they had tried to rob more than half a month ago.
They were the culprits who caused them to be brutally beaten by the people at the market.
"Kid, now that you've heard me clearly, you'd better hand over all your belongings and money!"
Chen San said fiercely.
"That's right. If you don't want to suffer any physical pain, put your things down right now and get lost."
"Otherwise, watch out or we'll beat you up!"
The other underlings shouted the same thing.
"If I don't hand it over, will you kill me, dump my body in the wilderness, and then steal everything?" Lu Qing suddenly asked.
"What did you say?"
Chen San and his group were all stunned.
Was this kid scared out of his wits? They just said they were going to teach him a lesson, when did they say they were going to kill him?
"Answer quickly. If I refuse to hand it over, are you going to kill me?" Lu Qing said calmly.
Looking at Lu Qing's calm face, Chen San suddenly felt a chill creep up his spine.
He felt that the kid in front of him seemed a bit strange.
Who would calmly ask someone if they would be killed if they were being robbed?
Shouldn't they be panicking and begging them to show mercy?
Is this kid crazy?
This question couldn't help but pop into Chen San's mind.
However, even if he's a madman, he's a rich madman!
Chen San and his companions were extremely envious of the things Lu Qing had on him.
If they manage to seize this batch of goods, it will be enough for them to squander for at least several days.
Thinking of this, Chen San and the others no longer cared about the chill in their hearts.
"That's right, if you don't hand over all the money, believe me, we'll kill you and throw you into the river!"
Unfortunately, Lu Qing had already seen through their bluster.
He looked at the information that appeared above Chen San's head.
【Chen San: A good-for-nothing, a thug.】
【He made a living by petty theft, gathered a few henchmen, and frequently stole things from nearby villages; everyone hated him.】
I looked at a few others, and without exception, they were all thugs and petty thieves.
He shook his head in disappointment.
If these guys are really ruthless, then he can act with impunity.
Now, we have to be more cautious.
However, things still need to be tidied up.
Having these guys roaming around is ultimately not a good thing for the villagers.
It was him; if it were anyone else from the village who came to the market today, these guys might have robbed them of everything.
"A bunch of useless trash. You have hands and feet, but all you think about is getting something for nothing. Even maggots are more valuable than you."
Lu Qing gently put down what she was carrying, untied the basket from her back, and then stretched her arms and legs.
"What did you say? Kid, are you tired of living?"
Chen San and his companions were furious.
However, before they could do anything, they saw a figure flash by, and Lu Qing had already rushed in front of them like a whirlwind.
Chen San, who was standing at the front, was startled and instinctively raised the wooden stick in his hand to smash it at Lu Qing.
But as soon as he raised the stick, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and he lost his grip on the stick, which fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, with a cracking sound, another sharp pain struck his chest, a metallic taste filled his mouth, his vision went black, and he could no longer stand, collapsing to the ground.
When Chen San finally managed to recover from the excruciating pain and opened his eyes, he saw all his underlings lying on the ground, some clutching their hands, others clutching their feet, groaning in agony.
"Chen San, is that it? You should be glad."
Chen San was filled with fear. Before he could figure out what was happening, a dark shadow suddenly covered him.
He looked up and saw Lu Qing standing in front of him.
Some faces, backlit by the sun, are not clearly visible.
All that could be heard was a voice, tinged with indifference.
“You should be glad that I didn’t sense any great evil you’ve committed.”
"Otherwise, you would already be several floating corpses in the river."
"Breaking one of your hands and feet now is just a slight punishment. If I find out that you are still stealing chickens and dogs and causing trouble in the nearby villages, then it won't be as simple as breaking your hands and feet."
Chen San looked at Lu Qing with a heart full of fear.
At this moment, he knew perfectly well that Lu Qing was not the easy target they had imagined.
Rather, they are beings they absolutely cannot afford to offend!
The other henchmen dared not shout anymore, and their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Lu Qing.
Because they could all tell that Lu Qing wasn't exaggerating.
He really would kill them if they didn't do as he said.
Lu Qing returned to where he had put down the basket and picked up all the things.
Then he continued walking towards the village, never looking at Chen San and the others again.
It was as if this group of trash wasn't worth a second glance from him.
"Remember this, don't let me run into you again, or I'll break your other arms and legs too."
Watching Lu Qing's figure slowly disappear into the distance, Chen San and the others only dared to continue screaming in pain once he had vanished from sight.
"Boss, what should we do?"
One of the underlings shouted with a mournful face.
"What else can we do? Get up and leave! Didn't you hear what that scoundrel said? If he sees us again, he'll break our other limbs too."
"But how do we get there?" The younger brother was already crying.
Chen San then noticed that the younger brother's calf was twisted at a strange angle.
"Even if you can't walk, you have to walk! Damn it, if your legs aren't broken, stand up!"
Under Chen San's reprimand, the underlings whose legs weren't broken managed to stand up.
Lu Qing seemed to have done it intentionally, making half of the six people with broken arms and half with broken legs, so that they would have the ability to leave.
Finally, the group, supporting each other and groaning in pain, left in a miserable state.
