Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world
Chapter 18 1. Ancient Dayan 14
Lin Dai drove the mule cart to the yard and asked the system to check the current situation of the villagers. She learned that all the villagers had been arrested and some were injured, but fortunately they were not in danger of life for the time being.
What were the bandits doing at this time? They were holding a wedding. Several bandit grooms were marrying girls they had robbed from the village. Lin Dai felt that it was fate that she encountered a wedding again, but unfortunately none of them were normal and she could not get her blessing.
Since it was safe for the time being, I decided to try my own cultivation and no longer needed the teleportation talisman. I let the system guide me and used my spiritual power to fly to my destination. Lin Dai couldn't fly all the way yet. She paused after flying 200 meters before continuing, but her speed was fast enough, which was still good.
Lin Dai came to the bandit's den and hid in a tree, thinking that killing them would not work. There were about 60 bandits, and there were so many villagers. And these bandits were still useful. She could only use the old method and let the system quietly put a stronger drug in their drinks and food, knocking them all out. There was no other way, but it was good to have a system, and she didn't have a chance to show her skills.
Arriving at the place where the villagers were imprisoned, Lin Dai told them that the bandits had been knocked unconscious and they could come out. The villagers were still a little worried, so Lin Dai told them the reason why she came to rescue them, and the villagers followed her with confidence.
Lin Dai told the villagers that the bandits were only drugged and were not dead yet, so they quickly found ropes to tie them up. The villagers quickly looked for things to tie up the bandits, and several families went to look for the robbed girl.
When everyone gathered, they all wanted to kneel down to thank the man for saving their lives. After all, Lin Dai came from the modern era and was only an eleven-year-old child. How could she accept that? She quickly stopped them and said, "Fellow villagers, there is no need to say more words of thanks. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Now, everyone, think about what to do with these bandits?"
After everyone talked for a while, an old man who seemed to have prestige in the village said, "To be honest, sir, these bandits should be handed over to the government, but the government and the bandits are colluding, and they may be released after a few days. Then the village will suffer even more. If we don't hand them over, we don't know what to do with so many bandits, so I dare to ask you for some advice."
Lin Dai knew the situation and had a plan, but she still needed to consult the villagers. Since she was asked to give advice, she said her idea directly: "Let's report to the authorities. As far as I know, it's not the county magistrate who is colluding with the bandits, but the county magistrate's advisor. The county magistrate doesn't know about this, but he is too stupid. Leave the county magistrate to me. I just need to trouble you to keep these bandits under control for the time being. By the way, I don't know what this old man's name is?"
"My surname is Zhuang. We are all from Zhuangjia Village, and I am the head of the village. Since the young master has saved all of our lives, we have no other choice but to do as he says." Village chief Zhuang arranged some young and strong men to guard the bandits, and took the others to load the looted food onto the truck and take it home.
On the way back, Lin Dai asked the villagers: "You went to find the bandits, didn't you think that you were just trying to stop a rock with an egg?"
An old lady replied, "We have no choice but to go. The people have had a hard time these years, and they have come down the mountain from time to time to steal some food. This time, all the food we just harvested was taken away, and we can only starve to death. What's more, they have robbed the girls in the village. We don't want to endure it anymore, so we want to fight them."
Lin Dai nodded and asked, "How are you guys? Are there serious casualties?"
The old lady sighed and said, "I didn't have any of those. I didn't even have time to fight before I was arrested."
"What happened?" Lin Dai asked puzzledly.
"We didn't even reach the bandit's lair. We were surrounded by bandits on the way there. We didn't even have a chance to resist." The old lady shook her head and said, "But fortunately, we are saved by the young master. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Lin Dai nodded, but she felt something was wrong. Was it such a coincidence? She called up the system: "Chubby, check why the bandits were there by chance?"
After a while, the system found out the information and replied: "Sister, it's not a coincidence. Someone tipped off the bandits and ambushed them there in advance."
Lin Dai thought that someone must have tipped off the person, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence. "Fatty, the tip-off should be someone from the village, not that lawyer." Lin Dai said with certainty.
"He is from Zhuangjia Village, a jerk called Zhuang Ergou. He is also related to that master. He usually helps that master do some immoral things to get some benefits. This time, it was him too."
Lin Dai thought about it, walked up to the village chief and said, "Village Chief Zhuang, I just asked about your situation this time. You were suddenly caught on your way to find the bandits. I thought about it and felt that something was wrong. This doesn't seem like a coincidence. They should be waiting for you and ambushing you."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Everyone decided to go find the bandits. Is it only the people in the village who know about this?"
"Yes, we are afraid that if we get out, the bandits will get wind of it and make preparations. Our village has a numerical advantage of about a hundred people, so we plan to go secretly and catch them off guard, but unfortunately... what does the young master mean?" Village Chief Zhuang asked uncertainly.
"That's it. No one else knew, so how could the bandits happen to ambush on the road you chose? It would be impossible for it to be such a coincidence if they didn't know about it in advance. So someone must have tipped them off." Lin Dai said with certainty.
Village chief Zhuang and other villagers looked unhappy when they heard this. They realized that this incident was caught because someone tipped off the police, so they started arguing and were very angry. However, this person might be someone from the village, so they were filled with anger and asked, "Sir, do you know who it is?"
Lin Dai knew who it was and that person was not among the group now. To be more precise, he was not there when he was arrested. She reminded: "Village chief, have you noticed that from the time you discussed going to find the bandits, to the time you were arrested by the bandits, to now, you found that someone was not there and has not appeared. Everyone should think about it carefully."
After a while, someone said, "Er Gouzi is gone. I don't think I've seen him since."
Someone else also said, "I haven't seen it either." "Me too." "I have seen it, but before I set out, and I haven't seen it since."
"That's right, because Ergouzi was there when you were discussing this matter before, so he knew about it. Later on, he was the only one missing until now, so he was the only one who had the chance to tip off. I guess he should be eating and drinking well in a restaurant in the county now." Lin Dai shook her fan and revealed the news.
Someone was so angry that he wanted to go find him, but Lin Dai stopped him and told him not to alert the enemy. She asked someone to guard the village entrance and arrest him when he was found coming back.
It was already dark when they returned to the village. Lin Dai came to Xiao Yuer's house and called out, "Xiao Yuer, are you there? Brother is back, come out."
Soon a little kid ran out of the room and said happily, "Little brother, you're back? Are you hurt?"
The little guy was quite sensible. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, she's not hurt at all, and she even rescued the villagers."
Xiao Yuer shouted happily, "Really? That's great." Then he ran outside, shouting, "Grandpa, Grandpa, you're back. Is everything ok?"
When Lin Dai came out, she saw an old man holding up Xiao Yuer. Xiao Yuer waved to her and said, "Brother, this is my grandpa, and grandpa, this is my little brother."
The old man smiled and answered his grandson: "Grandpa knows, it was this little brother who saved Grandpa. By the way, this young man, no one knows his name yet, I wonder if you can tell me."
Lin Dai said, "My last name is Wu, so you can just call me Master Wuyou. Old man, take Xiaoyuer home to eat something first. I have something else to go out for. My mule cart is parked in your yard. Please leave it there and feed him something."
Seeing that it was getting dark and he was still going out, the old man wanted Lin Dai to stay and go tomorrow.
Lin Dai whispered to the old man that she had to go to the county town to deal with the bandit issue and solve it as soon as possible. When the old man heard that it was a bandit issue, he asked him to pay attention to safety. Lin Dai nodded and set off.
