The bandit leader was already dead, and the few remaining bandits at the scene were so scared that they peed their pants, and they banged their heads on the ground, begging for mercy.

Art asked her how to deal with these people, but Wen Meijiu didn't have the heart to think about it. She had to quickly put the villagers in a proper place when no one was paying attention, so as to hide from others. And while she was doing this, she had to avoid Art.

"I'll leave this to you. I still need to go see my parents."

After saying this, Wen Meijiu left without looking back. It was up to Art to decide how to deal with these people.

The bandits' lair was built on a flat area halfway up the mountain. If Wen Meijiu didn't want to arouse other people's suspicion, he had to find a hidden place to drop off the villagers.

Where is the safest place? After thinking about it, she could only think of the woods above the cave.

First, she moved her fellow villagers out of the space, and then moved the large water tank where her family was hiding out of the space.

After all this was done, some irrelevant people were awakened by pouring water on them.

The parents knew very well what their daughter was capable of, but they dared not to make it public and pretended that nothing had happened.

The villagers woke up from the woods, one by one, they were very curious and asked questions all over the place. Most of them didn't understand how they got here when they were clearly on the road at the foot of the mountain.

My parents didn’t know how to answer, so they could only lower their heads and remain silent.

When the villagers realized they couldn't get any information from them, they came to ask for some warm wine.

Wen Meijiu didn't explain much, just said:

"We were robbed by bandits. If you want to thank someone, go and thank the warriors from the escort team. They are still fighting the bandits down there."

Once she said this, even if she didn't explain any more, the villagers would imagine many things.

It was already dawn at this time. Wen Meijiu carried his father down the mountain, and everyone followed.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the guards also carried the food and money looted by the bandits and followed them out of the bandits' lair.

Old Li didn't know what was going on and was among the unconscious villagers.

Along the way, he noticed that Wen Meijiu's face looked strange, so he followed her closely for a long time before he dared to go up and talk to her.

"Miss Wen, can I take your place?"

Wen Meijiu looked at his feet, walked down carefully, and said calmly:

"Don't bother me, old man. I can do it myself."

"You are a girl after all, how can you bear it? Let me take your place for a while, and then you can take my place later."

Old Li insisted on standing by and didn't let go of the warm wine. He continued to walk down with a calm expression.

"It's okay, this is my dad, I can handle it no matter what."

Wen Meijiu showed no sign of appreciation, but Lao Li did not give up and continued:

"Then you have to take a break. So many people are depending on you to take care of them."

"Doctor Li, you are joking. I just need to take good care of my family. The village chief will take care of us."

Everyone knows that Wen Meijiu's words carry a lot of weight in front of the village chief, and Lao Li is naturally well aware of this.

When she said this, Lao Li wanted to refute, but considering the village chief's face, he didn't say anything else.

I could only give up, and just stand by and watch over her, admonishing her:

"It's up to you. If you are really tired, call me."

Wen Meijiu hummed, then looked carefully at the road beneath his feet and walked slowly down.

The mountain road was steep. To be honest, although Wen Meijiu had good physical strength, she still found it a bit strenuous after walking for a long time. Lao Li watched from the side, waiting for her to complain of being tired.

Unfortunately, Wen Meijiu's strength was beyond his imagination. Even though he was almost tripped, Wen Meijiu still straightened his body and did not give his father to someone else. Even when his mother came to ask for him back, it was useless.

Fortunately, Art was thoughtful and caught up with Wen Meijiu, and then he replaced her.

"I'll come, I'll come."

When Art was about to carry his father on his back, Lao Li hurriedly tried to grab him, but he was a step too late and was beaten to the punch by Art.

"Look at you, young man. I was the one who got here first, how dare you snatch it from me?"

Old Li blew his beard and glared at Art, and started to talk nonsense, as if he was taking advantage of his seniority.

"Doctor Li, you are old, so let him come."

Dad comforted Lao Li with a smile and was grateful to Lao Li in his heart.

"I am still strong and healthy. What's wrong with being old?"

Old Li patted his chest, looking like he refused to admit defeat.

Art was taking advantage of the situation and jokingly said to his father as he walked down:

"The Li family is just good at talking. If he really has that sincerity, why doesn't he ask his young and strong nephew to carry him?"

"You, young man, how can you talk like that?"

Old Li was outmaneuvered and didn't know what to say next, for fear of bringing the topic back to Young Master Wang, which would backfire on him.

Wen Meijiu didn't want Art to involve Prince Wang. Everyone was embarrassed, so she quickly took over Art's words and said:

"Mr. Li has just recovered from a serious illness. If you don't want to work, just give your father back to me. Stop talking so much nonsense and picking on irrelevant people."

Now Art was really scared, and quickly apologized, saying that he was just talking nonsense and asked Lao Li not to take it seriously, and the matter was over.

When they got to the foot of the mountain, everyone started arguing for a while, saying that they were luckier this time than last time, and that they must be more vigilant in the future, and would rather walk a few more kilometers than take such risks again.

The village chief and Wen Meijiu discussed what to do next. Wen Meijiu was just about to say that everyone was tired and they should take a break on the spot, cook and eat something before leaving, but Art came up to them without them noticing.

He tugged at Wen Meijiu's sleeve and pulled him aside.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?"

Wen Meijiu couldn't bear to leave the village chief aside, so he yelled at Art in a low voice.

"Before the bandit leader died, it seemed that he sent someone out to report the death."

"Report? To whom?"

Wen Meijiu couldn't figure it out for a moment. Could it be that this bandit was really connected with the government?

"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't stop him and he ran away."

Wen Meijiu was anxious, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Art glanced at his ears and said embarrassedly:

"It was so chaotic at the time that I forgot about it."

How can you forget such a thing? It’s a matter of life and death!

Wen Meijiu felt that there was no time to delay any longer, so he immediately spoke to the village chief and asked everyone to pack up quickly and set off with them, the sooner the better.

The village chief asked why, but Wen Meijiu didn't want to tell him directly, so he lied and said that someone had tipped off another group of bandits, and that there might be reinforcements coming later.

The village chief was also frightened now, and quickly notified the villagers.

Lao Li also wanted to discuss with Wen Meijiu about setting off immediately, but Wen Meijiu sent someone to inform them in advance that they would leave immediately.

"Why is she more anxious than us?"

Old Li murmured in front of Master Wang, feeling that Wen Meijiu had not explained something to them.

"Could she know something?"

He asked Prince Wang with some concern.

"Probably not. If she really knew, given her personality, she would definitely chase us away."

"However, with such a big thing happening, given Miss Wen's personality, she should have come over to ask us what happened earlier, but she didn't."

Lao Li also raised his own questions.
