Chapter 87 The Art of Language

Some women and wives also began to cry at the top of their lungs at the signal of the instigators.

"Let go!"

"Oh my God, this is going to kill our whole family..."

"Dad, we have such a hard life..."

"Ahhh, I won't live anymore."

"Oh my God, please open your eyes and take a look..."

"..."

"Hand him over..."

"Compensate!"

These people were shouting excitedly, pressing forward step by step, their eyes darting around, staring closely at the cart behind the people from Taohua Village. Their intentions were obvious.

Taohua Village had fought with other villages before, so they knew what problems would arise if they gave in.

It is impossible to give in, because behind this is the wealth that Taohua Village has accumulated with great difficulty.

If it was robbed, everyone in the village, young and old, would probably starve.

Moreover, if the other side sees that we are cowardly, it will encourage their arrogance, and the women and children in the village behind us will probably suffer.

"Stop!" Bai Dashan shouted angrily, "This is our Baijiabao camp. If anyone dares to cross the line, don't blame us for being rude."

"I'm afraid of you. I don't believe you dare..." A man shouted and squeezed out of the crowd.

But he had only taken two steps forward and hadn't finished his words when he let out a scream, fell down with three arrows in his body, and a lot of blood splattered on the ground.

Many other arrows were shot near the crowd, and some people's feet were almost pierced through and nailed to the ground.

This scene happened so suddenly that those who were shouting and pushing to move forward were immediately startled and stepped back in panic.

Looking at the man who fell to the ground and whose breath gradually became weak, and then looking at the people from Taohua Village holding bows and crossbows with fierce expressions, these people couldn't help but take a few steps back.

It's true that some people want to steal things during the chaos, but no one wants to die.

Who could have imagined that the people of Taohua Village would start fighting over a disagreement without any sense of reason.

When the instigator saw this situation, he immediately thought to himself that something was wrong and spoke up immediately.

"You, the Baijiabao caravan, are too bullying!"

"You are taking human life lightly..."

"We are many in number, we are not afraid of you!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. I don't believe they dare to kill anyone..."

However, the fate of the people who just ran out is right in front of them. Even if someone else instigates them at this moment, these people dare not act rashly.

What do you mean you don’t dare to kill people? Can’t you see that someone has already suffered?
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. They want to take advantage of the chaos, but no one wants to lose his life.

"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us."

"Go, avenge this poor brother!"

The instigators continued to shout, but after a few calls no one dared to show up.

When some timid people saw this scene, they quietly squeezed out of the crowd, leaving only those who were unwilling to leave.

But they only dared to shout and instigate others to charge, but they themselves did not dare to move forward.

At this time, Bai Dashan said, "What a joke! We in Baijiabao have traveled all over the country for so many years. We have encountered all kinds of dangers and conspiracies. You can't succeed with your little tricks."

"Do you really think that we, the Baijiabao, are vegetarians? There are three or four hundred bandits in the Black Wind Village. They are cruel and cold-blooded, doing all kinds of evil. Any caravan passing by will be skinned alive." "Humph, but they set their sights on us, and we still dealt with them."

Bai Tao, who was blocked behind, twitched her mouth when she heard this.

I wanted him to exaggerate a little and process it a little bit. This is the art of language, but I didn't expect Bai Dashan to be so exaggerated.

However, as long as you don't feel guilty about it, you don't have to worry about being exposed. After all, the people in Black Wind Village were either dead or escaped, and it would take a while for others to verify it.

Bai Dashan looked around, sneered, and continued: "If you don't believe me, you can come forward and try! Let's see who is tougher, you or our crossbows."

As soon as these words were spoken, fewer people were shouting, and the people in the front stepped back, and some people shrank their necks and left the crowd.

"We will take the person with us and hand him over to the government when we get to Pu County."

"If you are not convinced, you can go to the county government and sue us!"

"But right now, if there are still people who don't know how to live or die and come to cause trouble, don't blame us for being ruthless with our swords and arrows."

Bai Dashan sneered and said, "When we get to the county government, according to the laws of the Jin State, we are acting in self-defense when our personal and property are being violated, and we are not at fault..."

The people of Taohua Village don’t know whether Jin State has this law, but that doesn’t stop Bai Dashan from saying so.

He knew the word self-defense from Bai Tao, so he just had to scare the person first.

How could these people know the laws of Jin State? They already had bad intentions and felt guilty, so how could they dare to go to the county government?

They acted decisively, with solid reasons and evidence, neither humble nor overbearing, and with overwhelming momentum. Bai Dashan and the villagers immediately intimidated the troublemakers.

Looking behind them, some children who were only nine or ten years old were holding daggers or crossbows in their hands, while others were holding machetes that they had never seen before in their hands, looking at them fiercely.

These people were even more frightened and believed firmly what Bai Dashan said about dealing with the bandits in Heifeng Village.

Even the children are in this state. The Baijiabao caravan should not be underestimated.

This... some people immediately backed off. Forget it. The big caravans have been traveling all over the country for so many years. They are rich and powerful, and have very good relations with the government.

If the matter really ends up in the county government, you'll be the one who suffers.

So, some people walked away quietly, and were afraid that they would be remembered by the people in Taohua Village, so they shrunk their necks and covered their heads with their coats.

As a result, more than half of the people were gone.

Those instigators were dumbfounded. Then they saw that the people from Taohua Village were staring at them closely, as if they wanted to remember their appearance. They did not dare to stay any longer.

"You wait!"

"Once we get to Pu County, we will definitely report it to the authorities."

"..."

They left after uttering a few harsh and incoherent words, and walked away. Their pace became faster and faster, as they were afraid that if they slowed down they would be caught by the people from Taohua Village.

The people in Taohua Village remembered the last people to leave, but did not step forward to stop them.

There are too many people, and they can't do anything at the moment. Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered.

After taking note of the appearance of these people, I will find a chance to deal with them later. These people don't look like they will be willing to give up causing trouble.

This scene here was also seen by some small merchant caravans and some horse-drawn caravans that were fleeing together.

Seeing that Taohua Village did not suffer a big loss, these people were relieved but also a little disappointed.

It is said that it is better to let a fellow Taoist die than to let myself die. If something happens to the Baijiabao caravan, will I be safer?
The reason for feeling relieved was very simple. The Baijiabao caravan was strong, so as long as they traveled with Baijiabao along the way, they would be much safer.

　I plan to adjust my work and rest schedule. Starting tomorrow I will update one chapter at night, and try to update two chapters for the little cuties during the day.
