Chapter 238: Chapter 240 Duo’er is very fierce_1
Qiao Duo’er unleashed her fury, and that fellow could only endure the beating.
The wooden stick struck the man over and over, leaving Sun Erhu and Tie Niu dumbfounded. Could the wife from the Fourth Boss’s House have gone mad?
If she hadn’t gone crazy, then she was just too brutal.
Indeed, brutal. Watching her beat the man was painful even for them.
But what they felt even more was a sense of satisfaction. Wasn’t this scoundrel arrogantly strutting around just a moment ago? How come he was now being beaten by a woman without being able to fight back?
He’s too weak!
Looking at Tan Zhenghong, he didn’t react at all, as if all that was happening was to be expected.
With the crisis averted, Sun Erhu’s brain sprang into action again.
He hadn’t believed Qiao Duo’er when she said she could fight Tan Zhenghong to a draw, but now he saw it was true.
Apart from the one whose arm was chopped, there were thirteen more. Qiao Duo’er took care of six, and Tan Zhenghong handled five.
So... he had only knocked out two. Cough cough, why did he feel like he was an extra?
Could it be that behind closed doors, they did nothing else but practice fighting?
My God, if that was the case, how pitiful would Brother Hong be?
Sun Erhu looked sympathetically at Brother Hong, but Brother Hong seemed quite... happy?
Qiao Duo’er was going all out as she beat the man, and after a few hits, there was a "snap"—the wooden stick broke.
The quality of the stick was just too poor; otherwise, she was sure she could have gone on beating him forever!
But after all the exertion, Qiao Duo’er was quite tired, and with the stick broken, she decided to spare the bastard for now.
She plopped down on the ground while Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu used the bandits’ rope to tie up the men to trees.
These people had committed no small number of vile deeds, and they still had to be delivered to the Government Office.
After tying up the men, they found a small pool to clean themselves, and then they began talking about the screwed-up ordeal of the day.
"Uncle Tie, how are you?" Tan Zhenghong asked, concerned.
"I... I’m alright."
Tie Niu’s lips were a bit pale; he had just been frightened.
Tan Zhenghong said with guilt, "Nasir came for me, it was my fault for involving Uncle Tie."
"What are you talking about? I am the Li Zheng; this is my duty."
Tie Niu shook his head. He was not one to be ungrateful. Today, when things were so dangerous, Tan Zhenghong had insisted he leave first. How could he not remember such kindness?
Sun Erhu said helplessly, "Let’s not rush to be polite to each other for now. Let’s think about how to deal with this issue first."
Their involvement in beating the men could not be publicized, so how could they gloss over this affair?
They had to deliver the people to the Government Office, but they couldn’t do it without an explanation, could they?
Tie Niu was very serious; it indeed was a big problem.
The Imperial forces had launched several campaigns to suppress the bandits, yet Xuan Eagle Mountain Village remained unscathed. This fact alone showed that Xuan Eagle Mountain Village was not simple at all.
They were just a few ordinary villagers; how could they afford to offend Xuan Eagle Mountain Village? At least they couldn’t afford it now.
After thinking for a while, Tie Niu said, "Let’s just say we were saved by two heroes. The heroes performed a great service without asking for anything in return and didn’t leave their names. They only asked us to report to the authorities."
Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu had no objections; it was the best plan.
Only Qiao Duo’er’s mouth twitched. Tan Zhenghong always felt she must have been a hero in her past life.
Cough cough, this time she really did become a hero.
With a plan in place, Sun Erhu quickly said, "You stay here and wait. I’ll go to the Government Office to report the news and have them come over here quickly."
He had been the most useless just now, so now he wanted to do something extra to make up for it.
Before long, the Government Officials arrived.
