Chapter 52: A Hero Spares a Life

has made a move. For them, the best outcome is that no one monopolizes, and everyone makes money together. Zhao Zhongming was completely dumbfounded.ThousandsWhat is thatHe looked at Yang Lin in conf...Li Yuyao regained her composure and looked into the distance. She saw a group of people pushing two carts, who had just entered the village and started ransacking from the first house at the entrance.

The food in the tank, the ironware in the house, and the dried vegetables in the yard... these bandits didn't disdain any of it.

All the villagers had run away, and at this moment, the large Koushan Village was deserted. The bandits were like nobody's business, going from house to house, taking whatever they wanted. Their cart became more and more full as they got closer and closer to Yang's house.

There were exactly eight people in the group, but both Yang Lin and Li Yuy Yao looked strangely.

This is a bandit

If no one told them these guys were bandits, they would think they were refugees!

When far away, it was unclear. But now, being so close, Yang Lin could clearly see that the bandits' attire was indistinguishable from that of ordinary people.

The two bandits at the front carried knives, while the rest had a motley assortment of weapons—sticks, pitchforks, spears... you name it.

There are also two specialized pushcarts, without any weapons, so in total, there are only six people who can fight. To call them a rabble is an insult to the very concept of a rabble.

Soon, it's only a few dozen meters away!

The bandits were already within their range, but Yang Lin was very patient.

The distance isn't enough. If it's a first round volley, if someone misses their shot, the bandits will run away and we might not be able to wipe them out completely!

The bandits were weaker than expected, which made Yang Lin even more determined to win this battle beautifully and show the outsider what would happen if they dared to invade them!

Suddenly, a bandit came out excitedly carrying a chicken from Uncle Wang's backyard.

"Boss, look, there's a chicken!"

All the bandits had bright eyes.

"Good, die! Tonight, I'll make you into soup."

The bandit leader, brandishing his sword, nodded in satisfaction.

And just then, in Wang Shu's courtyard,

A seven or eight-year-old boy chased after him.

"This is my chicken, you return it to me!"

The little boy may have been chasing too eagerly, when he got in front of the bandits, he tripped and fell. The bandits burst into laughter.

“Please, please give me back my chicken. It’s the only one I have. My brother is weak and needs to eat eggs to get better. Please, don’t take it away…”

The little boy went to grab while crying.

The bandit leader stepped forward and kicked the little boy to the ground.

"Damn it! Don't you know who I am I'm a bandit!"

The bandit leader raised his head and glared at the young boy. "From ancient times, it's always been our bandits who steal things. Have you ever heard of us taking something and giving it back"

"Kid, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you. If you don't know your place, believe me, I'll chop you in half!"

The bandit leader brandished his rusty sword, causing the young boy to recoil in fear. He scrambled backward two steps, prompting another round of laughter from the other bandits.

However, the little boy, after taking two steps back, gathered his courage, climbed to his feet, glanced at the bandit who was catching chickens, and suddenly rushed towards him, biting down on the bandit's hand.

"Ah!"

The bandit cried out in pain and instinctively let go of his grip.

The little boy snatched the chicken and turned to run.

However, he was already surrounded by bandits.

"Damn it! You dare to bite again Today, if I don't kill you, I swear I'm not a bandit!"

Saying that, the bandit leader drew the knife from his hand. Yang Lin was taken aback.

This little boy is Tiezhu from Uncle Wang's family. Uncle Wang and his family have all gone up the mountain to evacuate, but it's unknown why Tiezhu didn't go. Regardless, he was caught by bandits right now, and he's in danger!

Yang Lin worried that ordering the archers to fire now would injure Tie Zhu. He immediately jumped down from the roof and shouted, "Stop!"

Behind the house, Zhong Tao and others hiding there looked at Yang Lin in surprise.

This is different from the previous plan!

Yang Lin raised a finger to them, making a shushing gesture. He immediately emerged from behind the house and walked towards the bandits.

The women lurking on three sides of the courtyard were also startled at this moment, but Yang Lin didn't shout to fire an arrow. They remained motionless.

The bandits were also startled by Yang Lin's sudden shout, and they hurriedly looked around. After a long search, they finally saw Yang Lin.

"Damn it, who the hell are you Do you know who I am I'm a bandit! You dare to interfere with my business, believe me or not, I'll kill you right now!"

The bandit leader raised his knife and pointed it at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin also raised his nocked crossbow, aiming at the bandit leader, and said calmly, "Release the child, and I will leave you a whole corpse!"

The bandit leader was taken aback, and then he burst into laughter as if he had heard a good joke.

"Kid, since you're looking for death! Don't blame me for taking your life. Grandpa hasn't killed anyone in a while!"

Saying that, the bandit leader, brandishing his knife, walked towards Yang Lin.

He also saw what Yang Lin was holding in his hand, but he didn't recognize it, so he didn't think much of it.

The two sides were less than ten meters apart. The bandit leader swaggered over, his menacing aura palpable.

Just as everyone laying in ambush was sweating for Yang Lin...

Yang Lin, without warning, pulled the trigger!

"Whoosh!"

The arrow shot from the bow struck the bandit leader's chest in an instant.

The bandit leader seemed to not yet understand what had happened, his face contorted in extreme pain. His body swayed and he collapsed to the ground, dead.

The instant he pulled the trigger, Yang Lin didn't even glance at his opponent. Ignoring the frantic beating of his heart, he quickly reloaded his crossbow and shouted, "Come on! If you want to kill me, come here!"

He wanted to use himself to draw the bandits' fire. If they chased him, he would turn and run, luring them into the courtyard. Then, the women hiding in the courtyard could shoot their arrows and kill them all at once!

This was also the only way he could think of to protect the iron pillar in a short period of time.

Since he shot arrows at them, these bandits shouldn't ignore him and go after Tiezhu instead, right

When the bandit leader fell, as he was nocking a second arrow, he was surprised to find that all the bandits seemed to have been scared witless.

As Yang Lin raised his crossbow again, aiming at them, several bandits immediately dropped their weapons and fell to their knees with a thud.

"Spare my life, spare my life!"

This plea for mercy, like a signal, was immediately followed by several "clangs" as the remaining bandits dropped their weapons and lay flat on the ground.

"I I I... I didn't do anything."

"I haven't killed anyone, I'm from King Zhuang Village, woo woo woo... I'm not a bandit!"

"Spare my life, spare my life!"

Looking at the bandits before him, each one crying and kneeling to beg for mercy, Yang Lin was momentarily dumbfounded.

Is this all you've got

Not even a fight

And how did he feel, at this moment, more like a bandit than them...and blue."You lowly peasants, you have no shame! You dare block the way of this young master Get lost!""Do you really think Yang Lin can back you up"I'm telling you, Yang Lin is a jerk!"My Liu family...
