Scary

Baodan's mother was unmoved and glared at her man. She was so excited about so much money. With it, she wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future. The father of the child was just too timid.

The man who was about to leave paused, turned around, and his eyes finally fell on the face of Baodan Mother at the back.

"Is that you who's speaking?"

Baodan's mother nodded timidly.

"Have you seen a stranger?" The man stared at the woman with a cold gaze.

"Is there a reward for providing clues?" Being stared at by such a pair of cold and indifferent eyes, especially with the sword in his other hand, Baodan's mother was so nervous that she began to stutter.

Regardless of whether the people from Xishan Village or Lijia Village were right or wrong, to be honest, they all had to admire Baodan's mother courage after hearing her words. You dare to ask for money in front of these people who don't look like good people. Aren't you afraid of not getting the money and losing your life?

"Yes, the reward is ten taels of silver." The man looked coldly at the woman who was so frightened that her face turned pale, but still did not forget to ask for money.

Hearing that there was money, Baodan's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was half less than the twenty taels just now, it still made her excited. This money should be enough for their family of three to settle down. Baodan's mother looked up at the sword on the man in black and was afraid, but when she thought of the silver, she felt that the fear in her heart was not impossible to overcome. She mustered up her courage again and said, "You won't go back on your word, will you?"

They have to say that Baodan Mother is really brave for the sake of silver.

The man in black smiled coldly, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it on the ground in front of the woman. The next words made Baodan's mother, who wanted to pick up the silver, shiver, but she still picked up the silver.

"If you lie to me, the consequences will be something you can't afford."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Baodan's mother waved her hands tremblingly, her eyes inadvertently swept across Gulan's carriage, an unknown light flashed in her eyes, and she said: "We rested in the woods for two days because of the heavy rain a few days ago. During that time, a stranger did come, and he was very handsome, but he turned around and left soon. I don't know if he is the person you are looking for."

"Left?"

"Yes, he walked around the ruined temple for a few times and then left. Many of us saw it. If you don't believe me, you can ask others."

Baodan mother words were really unexpected. Gulan was already prepared to fight at any time if she was exposed, and had even thought of putting the three little ones into the space if necessary. Unexpectedly, the stranger that Baodan's mother was talking about turned out to be the one taels of silver that day. This woman was not that stupid. Gulan was indeed surprised.

Gulan was not the only one who was surprised. All the people in Xishan Village and Lijia Village did not expect that the stranger mentioned by Baodan Mother was actually the young man who came to the dilapidated temple on the second day of the heavy rain. For a moment, many people's expressions were indescribable.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Baodan Mother did not deliberately avoid people when she was cheating people out of their money that day, so many of them knew about Baodan's Mother great achievements and knew that she had cheated the young man out of a lot of money that day.

They didn't expect that even though they had already left, Baodan's Mother could still use him. I have to say that if Baodan's Mother focused on her work, her life would not be like this now.

When the man in black looked over, everyone in Xishan Village and Lijia Village nodded in unison, confirming what Baodan Niang said.

Because it was the truth, everyone looked very calm, without any sign of guilt. The man could naturally see it and believed what the woman said.

"Is this the person in the portrait?" The man spread out the portrait again.

Baodan Niang suppressed her fear and took a closer look. "The young man looks good, but I don't think he is."

The others also nodded. It was not that they didn't feel like them at all. They were not on the same level at all.

"High? How high?"

"A little shorter than the strong man," Baodan's mother said tremblingly.

If he is shorter than him, then he is not that person, but could he be a trusted guard beside him? Thinking of the many people who escaped that day, the eyes of the man in black became even gloomier. Perhaps this could be a clue.

"Do you know which direction he went?" the man asked again.

"It's this direction," Baodan's mother pointed to the west.

That's right, if that person is okay, he will definitely go west, so his trusted guards will definitely go in this direction if they want to find him.

"This is all I know. I am not lying," Baodan's mother finally couldn't stand the pressure from the man and said in a crying voice.

The man in black didn't even bother to look at her. Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he still gained something. He immediately rolled up the portrait, jumped on his horse, and disappeared suddenly with the cavalry.

The scary guy left, and Baodan's mother finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her legs went soft and she sat down on the ground with sweat pouring down her face. It's not easy for her to earn some money. She almost scared herself to death. She was really afraid that the weapon in this man's hand would be thrown at her accidentally.

Baodan's father is still confused. He thought that he and his wife would be ostracized in the future and even kicked out of the team. He never expected that the stranger mentioned by his wife would be the idiot that day.

If Su Qiaoxiu knew that the person who cheated her out of her money gave her an extra tael of silver and the nickname of idiot, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood. Unfortunately, she had already gone far away at this moment, returned to Jiaocheng, and was heading home.

Everyone looked at Baodan Niang sitting on the ground with a mixture of emotions that were hard to describe in words.

But no one was jealous of the ten taels of silver in her hand. They really did not have the courage of Baodan's mother, and they really did not remember the young man that day. One has to admire her. When it comes to ideas for making money without working, Baodan Mother always thinks faster than them.

Village Chief Zhao's expression was even more complicated. He had just angrily scolded Baodan's mother and her husband, but he didn't expect this would be the result. Looking at Baodan's mother sitting on the ground, he moved his lips twice, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Husband, what are you standing there for? Give me a hand!" Baodan's mother was unhappy looking at her man standing there stupidly. The screams finally alerted Baodan's father, who then discovered that the child's mother was sitting on the ground, and he quickly reached out to help her up.

He opened his mouth to scold the child's mother for acting on her own and being too bold, but when he saw her exhausted and sweaty, he swallowed his words. In the end, it was all for them.

"You, don't do this next time. What will happen to Baodan and me if something happens to you?" Even the words of resentment were replaced with these words of concern.

"I know," Baodan's mother said perfunctorily, holding the ten taels of silver tightly in one hand, and waving to her son hiding behind the crowd with the other hand, giving her son a gentle smile.

Daya and Erya looked through the curtain with complicated expressions at the tenderness on the lips of the woman who gave birth to them. Unfortunately, it was never directed at them. The two girls, who had long since stopped having any fantasies, silently lowered the curtain. Without expectations, there is no sadness, because they no longer have any relationship with that family.

Gulan glanced at the guy beside her who looked calm. He was really able to keep his composure. Even after hearing what Baodan's mother said, he did not show any panic, and his eyes were still as calm as mountain.

There are also portraits, the aura of those people, and the faint murderous aura on their bodies, all of which tell Gulan that the guy he rescued must be of extraordinary identity. But now is not the time to talk, wait until we stop.
