Chapter 193 - 193 Little Peach's Sugar Water
193 Little Peach’s Sugar Water
Uncle Cai looked at Zuo Qing and said, “Boss, I think we should just go down the mountain and find a place where they don’t know us. It’s better to be a rich man than to live on this mountain! Besides, when you have a little boss in a few days, you can spend money to hire a teacher to teach him.”
Zuo Qing thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense. He couldn’t live on the mountain for the rest of his life! Qi Yiniang was already pregnant, and he couldn’t let his child become a mountain bandit too! Moreover, even if he lived a life of pleasure, he wouldn’t be able to spend all the gold, silver, and jewelry on the mountain!
“Uncle Cai, I’ll think about what you said. Let’s settle this matter first. Go bring 30 people down the mountain and see if Third Brother is in the residence at the foot of the mountain. Third Brother is too unreasonable. He doesn’t want to come back every time he goes down the mountain.”
Uncle Cai persuaded, “Third Master is too bored staying on the mountain. I’ll ask him to bring back the food this time.”
Zuo Qing waved his hand. “Go! Hurry down the mountain and get the food back.”
“Yes.” Uncle Cai cupped his fists and left. He led Tu Gang and the other bandits down the mountain.
After the group went down the mountain, they went to the residence at the east end of the village at the foot of the mountain. Tu Gang whispered to Uncle Cai, “Uncle Cai, we still have a residence at the foot of the mountain?”
Uncle Cai smiled proudly and said, “We have a lot of things!”
Tu Gang looked at Uncle Cai ingratiatingly. “Uncle Cai, I want to bring a few brothers to my lover’s place to play, okay?”
Uncle Cai glanced at Tu Gang in surprise. “Are you willing to? I remember that you were the one who snatched her from Green Lotus Village! What’s wrong? Are you tired of her?”
Tu Gang winked and smiled. “Didn’t they say that women are just like clothes? Brothers are brothers! Uncle Cai, I’ll bring my brothers out to play for a while. I’ll be back soon. I promise not to delay business!”
Uncle Cai looked at the young men behind Tu Gang who were looking at him eagerly and thought to himself, “They’re all young and strong. They’re all hot-blooded. Let them play!”
“Go! Come back before dawn.” Tu Gang brought more than ten young mountain bandits toward Qingchuan City.
When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the city gate was closed and the collapsed place at the city gate had been repaired. One of the bandits said to Tu Gang, “Let’s go back! The city gate is closed. I think we should wait for the food to be collected and come in the day.”
Tu Gang smiled calmly and said, “Don’t panic! If we can’t enter from here, we can go somewhere else. There are so many collapsed places. How can it be repaired so quickly?”
Tu Gang led the bandits along the city wall for 15 minutes before finding a place that had yet to be repaired. He squatted down and said to the bandits, “Come on! Brothers, step on my shoulder and climb in!”
More than ten people crawled into the city. One of them looked at Tu Gang suspiciously. “If we helped you take revenge. Will you really let us play with your Little Peach?”
Tu Gang looked at him and patted his chest angrily. “Brother Tu, we’ve been brothers for so many years. When have I ever gone back on my word?”
A fierce-looking bandit patted the two of them and said with a smile, “Brother Tu, Tu Gang is still very loyal to his brothers. Besides! We can’t let outsiders bully our Green Dragon Stronghold, right? Let’s go to your lover’s place and get some kerosene. We’ll burn everything down tonight and take revenge.”
Tu Gang’s eyes lit up and he raised his thumb. “Yes, burn them clean. Brother Shui’s method is still better!”
The group of people went to Little Peach’s house in the dark and looked at Little Peach like wolves. Tu Gang said to Little Peach, “Go, get some kerosene and a few old clothes. I want to use them. Get some food and wait for us to come back.”
Looking at these wolf-like bandits, Little Peach thought to herself that something was wrong. This bastard Tu Gang was going to give her to these people. Little Peach endured the fear in her heart and forced a smile. “Alright, I’ll serve you a pot of tea and prepare some kerosene and old clothes.”
A bandit touched Little Peach’s butt and smiled lecherously. “Sure! I’m thirsty.”
Seeing Tu Gang’s nonchalant expression, Little Peach knew that she was doomed. She turned around and went to the kitchen. She took out a paper bag from the corner of the stove and poured the medicinal powder into the teapot with a hateful expression. She poured some warm water from the pot and added two spoonfuls of sugar.
Tu Gang walked into the kitchen and saw that Little Peach was preparing tea. He hugged her and said, “When we go out, go to the dark brothel and find a few women to serve my brothers.”
Little Peach nodded silently and went to the central room with Tu Gang to pour the tea for the bandits. The bandits looked at Little Peach as if she was a plate of braised pork!
Tu Gang looked at his brothers’ envious gazes and smugly instructed Little Peach, “Hurry up and prepare the things!”
Little Peach nodded and turned to the kitchen. She quietly opened the back door and ran to the backyard. She opened the backyard door and walked into the dark night.
Tu Ge took a sip of tea, which was sweet, and took a big sip. He pointed at Tu Gang and smiled. “Yoho! Tu Gang, your lover is really good to you. She even prepared sugar water for us.”
The other bandits picked up their bowls and drank. Tu Gang also took a sip happily. Suddenly, Tu Ge fell from his chair to the ground. The others also fell. Tu Gang tried to open his eyes and also fell to the ground.
Little Peach ran to Scribe Tu’s house and banged on the door desperately. She shouted, “County Lord, come and catch the bandits!”
Ruyi, who was on night duty, opened the courtyard door and looked at Little Peach. “It’s you! Where are the bandits?”
Little Peach said anxiously, “They’re at my house. I drugged them. Hurry up and bring people to catch them!”
Li Yu, Zhou Jia, and the others walked out of the house. When they saw Little Peach, they understood. Li Yu said to Ruyi, “Ruyi, take the rope and bring people to capture them.”
“Yes.” Ruyi led the bailiffs on duty towards Peach’s house.
Seeing that Ruyi had left, Little Peach bowed to Li Yu and said, “Thank you for trusting me, Madam. I have a request!”
Zhou Jia nodded and said, “Miss, please speak!”
“Lord, please promise me that you’ll personally kill that dog Tu Gang!”
Seeing the hatred in Little Peach’s eyes, Zhou Jia hesitated for a moment before saying, “Alright, I promise you.”
Peach knelt down and said, “Thank you, Sir and Madam.”
“Miss, please get up.” Li Yu walked forward and helped Little Peach up. “We should be the ones thanking you. Miss, it’s not safe for you to go back now. Just stay here for a few days and go back after capturing the bandits.”
Peach looked at Li Yu in surprise. “Madam, you’re willing to let someone like me stay in your house?”
Li Yu smiled at Little Peach. “You’re quite good! Why wouldn’t we be willing? It’s just that you and Aunt Zhang have to share a room.”
Peach wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. “Madam! I’m grateful. Thank you!”
Aunt Zhang brought Little Peach back to her room to rest. Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, “Madam, how could you believe that she drugged those bandits?”
