Waiting for AnAn's Protection

AnAn immediately decided that he would never do this again. He would practice martial arts seriously and get up on time with his mother in the early morning.

Hearing her son's soft voice saying that he wanted to protect her, Gulan's heart melted, "Okay, Dad will wait for AnAn to protect me."

"Well, AnAn will definitely do it." AnAn said seriously.

"Dad believes AnAn. Okay, everything is fine now. Come back with Dad." Gulan stood up with her son and looked at Aunt Li, who had not noticed her coming and was looking at the distance with concern, and walked towards her.

"Auntie, Brother Li and the others are fine, don't worry, you should go back first.

The sudden voice made Aunt Li tremble, and then she realized that there was someone else next to her. She found out it was Gulan and patted her chest.

Gulan: "…" It seemed that Aunt Li was frightened.

"Are you okay?" Gulan looked at Aunt Li embarrassedly.

"It's okey. I was distracted."

"I seemed to hear you say that Li Da and the others are fine." Aunt Li confirmed, and when she saw Gulan nod, she smiled and felt relieved immediately.

"Aren't we going back to the tent? Let's go," she said, and took the lead to walk with her grandchildren.

Although her heart was still pounding from the scenes she had seen before, and she saw corpses being dragged away in the dark, and even though she knew that these were robbers, she could not see her sons, and as a mother, she could not let go of her worries. Gulan's words were like a reassurance. My heart became calm and my steps became lighter.

Gulan laughed and followed behind. When I returned to the tent and just finished comforting my son to sleep soundly, I heard Li Da's deliberately suppressed voice outside.

"Gulan..."

Not hearing any response, he stuck half of his head in, but when he saw Gulan's gesture, he quickly pulled it back out. If he doesn't shrink back, Dahei will be rude to him.

"It's okay, just sleep well, Dahei is guarding here." Looking at Daya, Gulan who sat up when she heard the noise and didn't fall asleep, she said softly.

"Take good care of them," she said to Dahei again, and then walked out of the tent amid Dahei's sobs.

Dahei: "…"

Woo woo... It also wanted to go out with its owner, but looking at the cub, the little owner could only resign himself to his fate and lie down.

"What's wrong?" Gulan looked at Brother Li.

I noticed that he hadn't changed his bloody clothes for such a long time, but he had simply treated his wounds.

"The village chief and that Sergeant Guo are looking for you. They said they have something to discuss."

"Hasn't the person been caught? Why are you looking for me?" Gulan asked curiously.

She really wasn't interested in the rest of the things. She would rather spend her time hugging her son and sleeping, which would relax her mind and body.

Li Da: "I don't know either. I met Li Youzhi and heard what he said, so I came here for him."

"Oh," Gulan responded very halfheartedly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the shadow in the distance and paused.

Then he looked at Li Da seriously and said, "By the way, I was patronizing my son before. I almost forgot that those dead bandits didn't forget to make use of their remaining energy." Maybe it's because she is no longer short of money that she even forgot such an important thing. Fortunately, she remembered that she was no longer short of money, but the people in Lijia Village and Village Chief Zhao were still very short of money.

Hearing this, Li Da didn't know what he remembered. He looked at Gulan with a strange look, nodded and said, "I haven't forgotten."

It was not known whether it was due to infection from Gulan or their experiences along the way, but when Li Da and his brothers were collecting the bodies, they searched them very naturally. Not only did they leave behind all the silver and valuables, but they also took back the weapons that looked pretty good. If their clothes hadn't been stained with blood, they would have wanted to strip them all off.

The guards who were collecting the bodies were stunned!.

Seeing this, Li Da immediately suggested that the spoils could be split in half, but the guards refused. Although they were a little surprised at the rejection, they were naturally happier that no one shared it with Li Da.

"I've kept all the money," said Li Da.

"Don't share with me, just divide these among yourselves."

"That won't do," Li Da refused decisively,

"You've contributed the most effort here, and you've dealt with all the bandit leaders, big and small, so we won't agree to that."

"Brother Li, listen to me..."

"Okay, Gulan, I understand what you want to say. It's nothing more than that we are more in need of money. But being in need of money is one thing. We will naturally keep what we should take, and you are not allowed to refuse what you should not keep, Gulan."

Li Da seriously interrupted what Gulan was about to say.

After staring at Brother Li for a moment, Gulan compromised, "Okay, let's split it in half."

"But, the bandit leader has..."

"It's decided." This time it was Gulan who interrupted Li Da, and her words left no room for refusal.

Do you know what Brother Li wants to say? He is just afraid that he will suffer a loss. It is obvious that the most valuable things should be found on the head of the bandits. After being together for so long, Li Da has already figured out Gulan's personality. He opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words. They owed Gulan one more favor. These days, they owed Gulan more and more. It is true that they do need money, but with this they really don't have to worry about settling down.

I gained a lot this time. Including the seven or eight households in Xishan Village, there are more than sixty households in total. Hundreds of taels of silver notes and some loose change were found from the leader of the bandits alone. The second in command also had as much, although not as much as the leader, but still not a small amount. As for the other minions, the amounts on them were not exaggerated. The most they had were only a few taels of silver, and most of them were just copper coins. If all these were distributed, each family would get a lot! We had enough money to build a house!.

As Li Da sighed, the two walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the place where the bandits were tied up.

"Gulan" When the village chief Li saw Gulan, he couldn't help but get excited. Gulan saved them again. It was a blessing for Lijia Village to have him. The old village chief's eyes were full of gratitude.

"Village Chief" Pretending not to notice the village chief's excited look, Gulan called out softly, and then nodded to Guo Yi who was standing beside him.

"Doctor Gu" Guo Yi nodded.

After this battle, Guo Yi no longer dares to underestimate Gulan, who calls himself a barefoot village doctor. His skills were amazing, and his speed and strength were terrifying. The bandit leader's strong body was kicked to death by the seemingly thin and frail Doctor Gu with just one kick. Even though he had practiced martial arts for many years, he couldn't say that he could kick someone to death with one kick.

Gulan nodded to Guo Yi again. Not wanting to waste time, he got straight to the point and asked, "Village Chief, what's the matter with you calling me here?"

After looking at Guo Yi, Village Chief Li spoke awkwardly: "Gulan, I am not the one looking for you. It is this Mr. Guo who is looking for you. He want you to go to the bandit's lair with you and wipe out the few remaining bandits to prevent future troubles."

"This is his idea, not mine. You don't have to do it for my sake." After saying that, the village chief quickly added. Originally, he didn't want to call Gulan over, but Guo Yi was right. He was not Gulan, so how could he make decisions for others?

"Where is the bandit's lair?" Gulan glanced at the bandit who was tied up tightly and huddled in a ball.
