Chapter 388 Outlaws of the Jianghu
Chapter 388 Outlaws of the Jianghu
Lin Qingchuan was nervous and scared. He pushed his daughter back and went forward alone to deal with the bandits with the scarred face and the bushy beard.
Lin Xiaotang was unwilling to let her father go alone, so she quickly followed and took his hand.
At this moment, Lin Qingchuan couldn't care less about blaming his daughter for being silly. He stepped forward and said to Scarface and the others with a smile, "Gentlemen, it's getting late, and you've still come out here to work hard. You must be exhausted."
The bearded man looked Lin Qingchuan up and down, feeling that the man in front of him was very familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.
He said arrogantly, "Don't think that just because you're sweet-talking, I'll let you go. Today, leave all your money and carriages behind, or you'll leave your lives behind."
Before setting out, they had made preparations. The banknotes were sewn into their clothes, and they carried only some loose silver with them. The rest was placed in their bundles in case they encountered bandits or robbers on the road, so as to lower their guard and thus get away with it.
I never expected that what I feared would happen, I actually ran into bandits.
Encountering bandits was bad enough, but to run into them on a narrow road was the very bandits they had wronged in the past. Now they could only hope that the bandits wouldn't recognize them.
To everyone's surprise, the scarred man's eyes turned sinister as he stared directly at Lin Qingchuan. He hissed and said firmly, "He looks familiar. We've met him before!"
The bearded man immediately turned his head and asked, "Brother, where have we seen him before? I don't remember."
Scarface glanced at the bearded man, then slapped him on the head with his backhand, his tone slightly reproachful, "You idiot, all you do all day is eat, drink, gamble, and whore. You've probably lost all your brains at the gambling table. Isn't this the murderer who tricked us a few years ago and caused us to lose the Xue family hostages?"
what?
The one who, a few years ago, rode past them in a carriage with the young master of the Xue family dressed as a woman.
The bearded man immediately rubbed his eyes and looked closely. He realized that the girl next to Lin Qingchuan looked somewhat familiar.
There used to be a thin, sallow little girl by his side, who was said to be his daughter. Now she has grown taller and gotten fatter and fairer, but they are definitely father and daughter, and they even look a little alike.
The bearded man got excited and suddenly raised his voice, "Yes, yes, it's them, it's the father and daughter! That damned scoundrel, we finally ran into him today!"
Not only did he make us lose our cash cow, but he also caused us to be wanted everywhere and live on the run for years. Now, finally, we can take revenge ourselves.
Scarface slapped the bearded man's head hard again, a look of great satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all!"
The bearded man rubbed his head and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Big brother, why are you hitting me if you're not happy? If you are happy, why are you hitting me? If you hit me again, I'll go crazy."
"You're already incredibly stupid, I hit you to wake you up, you should be secretly happy!"
He raised his hand and ordered, "Brothers, charge! Chop him into eight pieces and throw him on the mountain to feed the wild dogs!"
What?
Dismember him into eight pieces and feed him to wild dogs?
Lin Qingchuan's face turned pale instantly, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel on the ground. He forced himself to calm down.
"Heroes, heroes, let's talk this out. How can you just come up and tear someone to pieces like that? That's too bloody!"
"bloody?"
Scarface sneered and mocked, "We're just a bunch of outlaws, doing bloody work. We're just trying to make a living. Since you ruined our livelihood back then, we'll settle all our old and new scores now that we've met!"
