Chapter 121: Scared to Death!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After holding the fatty hostage, Zhou Xiaoli did not waste any more time. She immediately worked together with Liu Yuanyuan and the woman to tie the fatty up and stuff a cloth into his mouth.
She was still worried that he may do something so she took a stone and knocked him out in the end.
After checking that the rope was secure, the three of them quietly went to the door.
The house where they were being held was some distance away from where the kidnappers were drinking.
It was dark at night, so the three of them crouched down and quietly left the house.
There was a haystack not far away on the right of the door. The three of them quietly moved behind it.
The kidnappers had drunk a little and their minds were not clear. It was the middle of the night, so they did not notice them.
However, there was no movement in the room. They would probably notice that something was wrong soon.
In such a short period of time, if four burly men were to chase after them, they might not be able to escape.
Furthermore, it would be a struggle for Zhou Xiaoli to deal with four strong men at the same time. She must think of a way to deal with them one by one.
As expected, seeing that there was no movement in the room for so long, the robber became suspicious.
One of them said, “Hey, why isn’t Fatty moving at all?”
The other person said nonchalantly, “Maybe he fell asleep halfway through it?”
“Ah, hahaha, this fatty can’t do it either. He’s down after drinking so little wine.
Let’s go in and take a look. I have to laugh at him.”
As they spoke, the two of them joked and prepared to get up.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli and the other two had already crouched down. Using the shadows, they bypassed the dried wheat stalks on the ground and entered the bamboo forest beside the wheat stalks.
The place where they were imprisoned was a single courtyard in the wilderness. There was only one room in the courtyard which is where they were imprisoned in, and it was surrounded by forest.
This was a place that the human traffickers found as they were afraid of being discovered by others. It also made things easier for Zhou Xiaoli to do her tricks.
Just as the two kidnappers were about to go to the room to check, there was a commotion in the forest.
The kidnappers were instantly attracted by the noise and looked in the direction of the forest.
‘Who!”
“Who’s there?!”
They called out a few times, but no one replied.
“Maybe it’s an animal from the mountains,” the bearded man said.
At this moment, another commotion sounded in the forest.
“Don’t tell me someone escaped!” The bearded man said doubtfully.
“That’s impossible. I tied them up tightly. They’re all weak little girls so it’s impossible for them to escape.”
“No, let’s go take a look. What if it’s a wolf pack? I heard that there are many wild beasts in the mountains!”
“You go then.”
“I’m not going. If you want to go, go!”
The two men started arguing.
Finally, the bearded man roared, “Alright, Wugou, you go!”
Wugou was immediately unwilling. “Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?! Why don’t you let Niuzi go!”
The bearded man stood up with a bang and shouted, “Boss told you to listen to me before he left! Why? Do you have a problem with the Boss’ decision?”
Wugou knew that he would not be able to defeat him in a fight.
As he was also afraid that he would complain to the Boss, he reluctantly walked into the forest.
He cursed under his breath as he went.
“If I find out which bastard is causing trouble inside, I’ll kill him!” As he spoke, he entered the forest.
At this moment, a white shadow flashed through the forest.
That immediately jolted Wugou awake.
He rubbed his eyes and thought that it was an illusion.
Then, another white figure flashed past.
This time, Wugou saw it clearly. He screamed in fear and turned to run.
“Ghost!”
“Ghost, ghost, there’s a ghost!”
Wugou ran back and roared before panting loudly.
“Wugou, are you f*cking drunk? Where would the ghost come from!” Niuzi cursed.
“It’s true, it’s true. I saw it. A white figure floating in the forest.”
“Are you f*cking sick? There’s no ghost here!”
Although he was scolding him, his voice was clearly a little timid as well.
This place was in the wilderness and there were many graveyards around. In the middle of the night and with the wind whistling past, it was indeed a little terrifying.
Wugou: “It’s true. I’m not seeing things. If you don’t believe me, go take a look!”
In the end, the bearded man stayed behind to guard the door. Wugou and Niuzi carefully walked into the forest.
“Ahhh—
Not long after the two of them entered, a scream sounded in the forest and then there was silence.
The bearded man waited outside for a long time, but the two of them did not come out. He was anxious.
“Wugou? Niuzi?”
He tried to call out a few times, but there was no response.
The bearded man sensed that something was wrong, so he grabbed his weapon and ran into the forest.
As soon as he entered the forest, he felt a gust of cold wind pass through the forest. His hair stood on end.
This was a simple formation set up by Zhou Xiaoli which could gather Yin energy. Due to the limited time, she could only set up a small area, but it was enough.
The Feng Shui formation was to give them a mental blow first so that they could find a chance to escape.
The bearded man was very vigilant. He called out to Wugou and Niuzi a few more times, but the only response he received was the rustling of leaves.
Just as he looked around and arrived at the position that Zhou Xiaoli and the others had set up, there was a sudden movement above his head. In the next second, a white figure descended from above.
The bearded man was shocked. He raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the white figure.
The white shadow was slashed apart, and straw scattered on the ground.
Only then did he realize that this was a scarecrow. There was probably a trap.
However, it was already too late. The stone in Zhou Xiaoli’s hand had already smashed into the back of his head.
Zhou Xiaoli drank the spiritual spring water daily for a long time now and trained with her master every day.
Although she did not use any powerful technique, her strength was extraordinary for a girl of her age and size.
Blood poured from the bearded man’s head on the spot. Before he could react, he fell headfirst.
Liu Yuanyuan and the other woman quickly rushed out from the back and skillfully tied the person up with ropes.
After everything was settled, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“Impressive. You have great strength! Ah, right, my name is Zhang Shu.” Zhang Shu introduced herself enthusiastically.
Zhou Xiaoli nodded. “Zhou Xiaoli.”
Liu Yuanyuan also whispered her name.
Zhang Shu was obviously very interested in Zhou Xiaoli. “Then I’ll call you
Sister Xiaoli. Sister Xiaoli, you’re really strong. How did you train for it?”
Just now, while Zhou Xiaoli was using the stones to knock the men out, Zhang Shu realized that she could not move the stones at all. Zhou Xiaoli could actually carry them easily.
It was obviously not the time to talk about this at this moment. Zhou Xiaoli only said vaguely, “We’re all farmers. We often do farm work, so we are stronger.”
Zhang Shu looked at the rough clothes they were wearing and nodded. She felt that Zhou Xiaoli’s words were very believable, so she did not ask further.
Zhou Xiaoli looked at the sky. “Alright, there’s no danger now. We can go now. You still remember the way back, right?”
Zhou Xiaoli asked.
Zhang Shu nodded. “Of course I remember. You guys don’t know, but I’m really unlucky. I saw someone being kidnapped, so I took a few more glances and was kidnapped as well.. What about you guys? Aren’t you guys leaving together?”
