I made the villain right.

After a while, they had walked dozens of miles.

The carriage galloped and swayed along the rugged mountain road. The surrounding trees blocked out the sun, bushes grew thickly, and weeds were knee-high. A damp smell filled the air.

The breeze blew, caressing the grass. In the grass at a bend, there was a hidden figure. He opened his dark eyes and stared at the mountain road ahead, as if waiting for some prey.

The sound of a distant carriage bell came with the misty wind, and in an instant, a prosperous and elegant dark blue carriage came into view. The body of the carriage was decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a carriage for either the rich or the noble.

Seeing this, a faint light flashed in the eyes of the man in the bushes. The next second, he immediately picked up the wolf-tooth-like thing hanging on his chest, put it to his mouth and blew it gently. Then a sound similar to a bird's cry resounded through the woods.

The crowd hiding in the bushes not far away immediately perked up upon hearing the sound, and the man in the lead raised an evil smile.

"Brothers are here to live"

When everyone heard this, they smiled maliciously and their eyes were filled with excitement.

However, there was no reaction from Shi Jin, apparently unaware that they were being targeted.

"Gu'er, how long will it take to get to Yuncheng?" Shi Jin asked Xu Ruogu who was sitting in the front of the car.

Xu Ruogu looked around and replied, "We'll be there in half an hour."

"That will be soon." Shi Jin stretched his arms. He felt tired after sitting in the carriage all the way.

Zhilu saw that Shi Jin looked very tired, so he handed her a bag of dried fruits and said, "Miss, you must be tired. Eat some dried fruits to relieve your fatigue."

Shi Jin took the dried fruit and glanced into the paper bag. She saw a prune inside and was about to pick it up to eat, but the carriage suddenly stopped. She leaned forward due to inertia, and the dried fruit in her hand fell to the ground.

Shi Jin looked at the plums that fell on the ground and suddenly looked sad. My plums! I didn't eat them.

She picked up the bag of dried fruits on the ground and asked, "Gu'er, what happened?"

Xu Ruogu looked at the group of people who suddenly appeared to block the road with vigilance, and then said to the carriage: "Sister Jin, there are people outside blocking the carriage, and they look like they have bad intentions."

As soon as Xu Ruogu finished speaking, Shi Jin heard a malicious voice coming from outside.

"Everyone in the carriage, get out!" Outside the carriage, a group of people surrounded the carriage with knives, staring at Xu Ruogu, fearing that he would do something.

When Shi Jin heard this, her eyebrows suddenly turned cold, and she looked a little unhappy. She whispered to Zhi Lu, "You stay in there and don't come out."

Zhilu knew that Shi Jin was skilled in martial arts and could deal with the minions outside, and all she could do was not to hold her back.

So she replied, "Okay, then miss, please be careful." Seeing this, Shi Jin immediately got off the carriage.

When the curtain was lifted, they saw a beautiful girl walking out of the carriage. She was dressed in spotless white, with an otherworldly charm, like a lily blooming in the mountains, soft and white, exuding an elegant and peaceful temperament from head to toe. However, her eyes were dull and no emotion could be seen.

The bandit leader's eyes casually swept over Shi Jin's slim figure, then stopped at her delicate little face. His gaze fixed on her, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this girl is really good-looking.

When Shi Jin raised her eyes, she saw someone looking at her with a smirk on his face. She tried her best to ignore that gaze and glanced at them. Her eyes dimmed a little. They were being targeted by a group of bandits.

Shi Jin got off the carriage gracefully, a calm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she pretended to be dumbfounded and asked, "Why did you stop my carriage?"

The leading man put away the smile on his face and spoke coldly the usual lines used by bandits.

"I built this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass by, please leave some money to buy your way through"

Hearing this, Shi Jin couldn't help but mutter, "Oh, as soon as he opened his mouth, he smelled like a bandit."

The bandit leader saw Shi Jin muttering there, as if she didn't take them seriously. He stared at her fiercely and threatened: "I'll say it again, if you want to pass this road safely, leave all the money you have with you."

Shi Jin was not frightened by his words, but was curious about their profession.

"Big brother, how much money can you make in a day as a bandit?"

After hearing this, the bandit leader's mouth twitched, and he looked at her with strange eyes, with a hint of doubt on his face.

Why is she asking this? Does she want to join them?

What do you mean by this bandit? That's too harsh.

"If you're lucky, you can make a lot of money, but if you're unlucky, you won't make much money. Not many people have passed by these days, so we haven't opened yet."

The bandit leader hadn't said anything yet, when suddenly a stupid bandit next to him opened his mouth to answer.

Seeing this, the bandit leader was so angry that he slapped Tie Hanhan on the head.

"Silly, did I ask you to answer?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin said meaningfully: "Oh, is that so?"

After a moment, she seemed to be joking, but also to be making a kind suggestion, and said seriously: "The income from the profession of mountain banditry is not stable. I am afraid it cannot support so many people. Why don't you consider changing your profession?"

"It's too harsh to call us bandits. We are just a group of strong mountain people who specialize in robbing the rich and giving to the poor."

He is quite good at speaking, and he portrays the bandits in a very nice way.

"Rob the rich to help the poor? Then I don't think I meet the requirements. I'm quite poor." Shi Jin lied with his eyes open.

"Do you think I'm blind? Your clothes and carriage show that you are either rich or noble."

An idea suddenly came to Shi Jin's mind, and her acting genius came out, and she began to perform.

She was weeping and said in a sobbing voice, "My parents died when I was young. My brother and I were left alone and depended on each other. We were often bullied and couldn't make ends meet, so we thought of going to Yuncheng to seek refuge with distant relatives. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but my clothes and carriage are borrowed from others. I have to return them to them when we get to Yuncheng."

As soon as she finished speaking, a crystal tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Shi Jin's performance was full of emotion and showed her pitiful and sympathetic appearance.

The naive bandit seemed immersed in the story she created, with a hint of sadness on his face.

But when Xu Ruogu saw this, his eyes moved left and right, as if he didn't care to look.

Zhilu, who was hiding in the car, had a calm expression, as if he was used to it.

The silly bandit couldn't bear it and said, "Boss, this little girl is quite pitiful. Why don't we forget it and wait for the next one. Maybe the next one will be better."

But the bandit leader gave him a vicious look, and he was so scared that he quickly lowered his head.

He patted Tiehanhan's cheek and said coldly: "Can you tell fortunes? Can you see that there will be someone coming behind them? It's none of my business whether she is pitiful or not. I just want to take the money."

After saying that, the bandit leader approached Shi Jin gradually with a knife in hand, staring at her ferociously, as if he didn't want to waste words with them anymore.

"Since you don't want to take it out, we'll do it ourselves. Brothers, search your body."

At the bandit leader's command, several of his men quickly grabbed Xu Ruogu, immobilized him, and searched him.

On Shi Jin's side, the bandit leader reached out to touch her body, but she dodged it skillfully.

Xu Ruogu's face turned blue with anger, and he let them search his body.

The bandits felt something on Xu Ruogu's chest and tried to take it out. Xu Ruogu seemed to be stimulated by this and he struggled violently to stop them.

He said angrily: "This is not a valuable thing, you are not allowed to touch it"

"Behave yourself!" a bandit yelled.

At the same time, on Shi Jin's side, the bandit leader just reached out to touch her body, but she dodged it skillfully.

When the bandit saw Xu Ruogu's intense reaction, his eyes lit up and he quickly took out the thing. When he saw it was a book, his eyes dimmed instantly.

He felt very unlucky, so he said, "I don't have anything valuable on me, so why should I protect a tattered book?" Then he threw the medical book on the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Jin quickly took out the whip and swung it. When the book was about to fall to the ground, the whip tied up the medical book. She stretched out her hand and pulled it, and the medical book fell into her hand. Then she put the medical book under her sleeve and put it away.

His movements were smooth and fluent, and the people around were stunned when they saw it. They obviously didn't expect Shi Jin to be so powerful.

Seeing that they were in a daze, Xu Ruogu stepped hard on the bandit who had restrained him. The bandit cried out in pain and immediately let go of him. Then he quickly took out the medicine powder hidden in his sleeves and sprinkled it into the bandit's eyes.

The bandit's eyes were stained with white dust. He was so irritated that he closed his eyes instantly and screamed: "My eyes!"

The bandit leader felt something was wrong when he saw this, and immediately raised his knife and swung at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin dodged easily with a flash of his body, then spun around and kicked sideways. The bandit leader's chest received a strong impact and his body was kicked away immediately.

At the same time, Xu Ruogu saw the opportunity and quickly ran towards Shi Jin. Seeing this, another bandit who was closer to Xu Ruogu wanted to stop him. Shi Jin immediately waved his whip to stop him.

As the "crackling" sound reached his ears, he saw a prominent scar on the bandit's hand. The bandit screamed and did not bother to catch Xu Ruogu.

Xu Ruogu successfully escaped behind Shi Jin in a flash.

The incident happened so quickly that some of the bandits didn't have time to react.

"Gu'er, go stay in the car," Shi Jin whispered.

Xu Ruogu grabbed her clothes tightly and said firmly: "No, I want to protect Sister Jin here."

"No, I can handle these people by myself. You being here will only distract me."

Xu Ruogu thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Okay." Then he got into the carriage.

Shi Jin stared at the bandits in front of him, frowned, and said unhappily: "If I had known that you had no conscience, I would not have acted and would have taken action directly. What a waste of my tears"

She originally thought that she would avoid taking action if possible. She thought they were just a bunch of mountain people living in poverty, who at least had some conscience, and she could just put on an act to fool them.

Who would have thought that this group of people were not good people at all. They were not really robbing the rich or the poor, but they would take advantage of anyone they met.

The bandit leader became furious when he heard this, his eyes widened with anger.

Suddenly, an evil thought flashed through his mind, and a vicious gleam appeared in his eyes.

"Brothers, capture this woman for me. I want her to be my wife."

"Madam, you have a nice idea, but stop daydreaming in broad daylight."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of bandits swarmed in. Shi Jin whipped them repeatedly, beating them like a tiger, leaving them with skin and flesh torn and screaming in agony.

A few minutes...

Soon she subdued the bandits. They were covered in scars and looked miserable, covered in dirt.

Shi Jin asked them to squat in a circle. Shi Jin shook the whip in his hand and looked down at them.

When the bandits saw this, they were terrified, fearing that the whip would fall on them again.

"Your mediocre skills can only scare a few ordinary people passing by. If you encounter a powerful one, not only will you not get any money, you may also lose your life. It is too risky to be a bandit."

Dear, I suggest you change your career.

Shi Jin said this as if he wanted to persuade them to put down their butcher knives and take the right path.

The bandit leader looked up at her, then quickly looked away, crying and begging for mercy: "I know it's not good to be a bandit, but we are just a group of desperate mountain people. We took the wrong road for a while. Please be kind and let us go, aunt."

"Yes, just let us go," the other bandits echoed and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Shi Jin narrowed his eyes, looked at them mysteriously, and then repeated what he had just said: "You are desperate mountain people, right, and you took the wrong road for a while?"

Seeing that she was asking questions in her tone, as if she didn't believe what they said, the bandits kept nodding their heads.

“We are telling the truth”

"Since you have taken the wrong path, I will show you a clear path."

The bandit leader was stunned when he heard this, and then asked cautiously: "What clear way?"

Shi Jin thought for a moment and expressed her thoughts.

"As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat the mountain. You can go hunting in the mountains, or pick wild fruits and herbs and sell them in Yuncheng. It's always more reliable to make money by yourself than to rob. Isn't this better than being a bandit?"

"Yes, yes, what you said is right, ma'am." The bandit leader just kept trying to please her, as if he didn't take her words to heart.

Shi Jin saw that he was being perfunctory, so he glared at him and said coldly, "I'm just going to say it, it's up to you whether you want to listen or not, but..."

She paused deliberately.

Then Shi Jin squatted down, staring at them with a half-smile, her eyes like a venomous snake, creepy, she said grimly: I have a bad temper, I kill people without blinking an eye, how about I kill you all? I heard that only dead people are more obedient"

The bandit leader glanced at Shi Jin and felt that she didn't seem to be joking, and his face turned pale with fright.

The other bandits were already trembling with fear, their bodies shaking like sieves.

The bandit leader: "Please spare us, don't kill us. We know we are wrong and we will definitely turn over a new leaf."

Shi Jin suddenly put away his previous expression, patted the dust off his body, and said lazily: "If you had this awareness before, you wouldn't have to be beaten by me. It's getting late, so I won't play with you anymore."

After saying that, she flew onto the carriage. When the bandits saw that Shi Jin was about to leave, they breathed a sigh of relief, as they were finally getting to send this giant Buddha away.

When the bandit was about to stand up, Shi Jin seemed to have forgotten to explain something, so she turned around and stared at them.

Seeing this, they were so scared that they quickly squatted back, and the look on their faces was simply a kind of blood suppression.

"Auntie, is there anything else you want to tell me?" the bandit leader asked with a flattering look on his face.

"Think carefully about what I said just now." After saying this, she drove the carriage forward.

The bandits stood up only after seeing Shi Jin and the others leave. The bandit leader watched the carriage go away with mixed feelings.

The foolish bandit looked at the scars on his body and said with a dusty face: "Boss, I think what that lady said makes sense. Brothers, we should not do this business anymore." said the foolish bandit.

"But we have been doing this business for many years. What else can we do if we don't do this business?" another bandit responded.

"Didn't that lady just say that we should live off the land? We can try the method she mentioned."

After some careful consideration, the bandit leader said, "Let's give it a try."

After saying that, the bandits left the place.

Xu Ruogu went to the front of the carriage to take over Shi Jin's position. As soon as Shi Jin returned to the carriage, she saw Zhilu giving her a thumbs up.

"Miss, I noticed that you are very good at speaking. You convinced those bandits with just two or three sentences."

Shi Jin smiled without saying anything and picked up the remaining dried fruit to eat.
