Chapter 54: Come, Have Some Seeds, Watch the Show

The thing bandits fear most is having their true identities revealed.

If the hostages go out and report the incident, and they draw portraits and search for them, then they’ll be in danger.

Moreover, the three bandit brothers are different from those notorious bandits.

They were forced into this life, they still have a good heart, and they don’t want to hurt the hostages.

So they will definitely release these people in the cave.

But now everyone has seen the skinny monkey’s face, for the skinny monkey’s safety, there are only two options.

1. Kill and dispose of the body

This is obviously impossible.

They had already gone through a lot of trouble to rob them, they wouldn’t dare to kill anyone.

2. Have some leverage over them

This is possible, but what kind of leverage could they have?

Scar Liu is the most loyal, but he’s not very bright.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been cuckolded for several years before he found out.

The simpleton is even worse, his mind is only on food, he doesn’t care about anything else.

The skinny monkey is a little clever, but not much.

He thought and thought but couldn’t think of a solution, so he came up with a bad idea.

“Boss, why don’t we just kill that girl, it’s a good way to intimidate them, see if they dare to talk nonsense when they go out!”

The skinny monkey was referring to Han Ke’er.

If it weren’t for this dead girl causing trouble, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

Hearing this, Han Ke’er immediately panicked, she begged for mercy:

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I won’t make a fuss anymore, I won’t make a fuss anymore!”

Han Ke’er finally realized the truth, she knew that no one would come to save her.

Seeing her groveling, Bai Yanran felt very smug.

Serves her right, who told her to boss her around all the time, now she’s scared, heh!

It was satisfying, but Bai Yanran knew she had to speak up.

If this stupid, gullible fool died, she wouldn’t be able to find another one.

“Bandit comrade, please don’t kill Comrade Han Ke’er, she’s my best friend, I don’t want her to die.”

Bai Yanran said with tears in her eyes, Han Ke’er was moved.

“Yanran… you’re so kind to me… thank you…”

She didn’t expect Bai Yanran to care so much about her.

She had always looked down on her, she was really a fool.

Once this crisis was over, she would be extra kind to her!

The skinny monkey: “We don’t want to kill anyone, but you’ve all seen my face, what if you go and report it?”

Han Ke’er quickly said: “Don’t worry, we won’t report it!

We live in the Guizhou Village Intellectual Youth Courtyard at the foot of the mountain, if anything happens, you can come and find us!”

As soon as she said this, the other intellectuals all frowned.

How could Han Ke’er reveal their location to the bandits.

What if the bandits got into trouble and blamed it on them, wouldn’t that be very dangerous?

But now wasn’t the time to blame her.

The most urgent thing was to gain the bandits’ trust, let them release them first.

Chen Huaijin: “Bandit comrade, Comrade Han Ke’er is right, we won’t report it.”

Scar Liu snorted: “We don’t trust you, who knows what you’ll do after you leave!”

“Then… then can you make some demands… as long as we can do it, whatever we can think of…”

Chen Huaijin hesitated, he almost said the words “leave one woman behind” out loud.

He was like that, selfish and cowardly, he was most afraid of death, he would do anything for his own life.

Scar Liu heard this and suddenly thought of something.

Yes, since they, the three brothers, couldn’t think of anything, these intellectuals could always come up with a solution!

“Actually, we don’t want to kidnap you, it’s just that you drove the wild boar over there and ruined our good deed!”

Scar Liu first explained their plight, then said:

“Alright, each of you think of a way, see how you can leave us with some leverage, and we’ll let you go.”

Now that they had searched everyone for valuables, only this last step remained, they would finish it and leave quickly!

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

What, were these three bandits crazy?

They were hostages, they were victims!

They were asked to think of ways to leave them with leverage to trap themselves? This didn’t make sense!

The skinny monkey saw everyone’s troubled expressions, he immediately stood up with his gun raised:

“Think fast, I’ll give you 10 minutes, one by one, whoever can’t come up with anything, I’ll shoot them!”

Alright, their lives were threatened, they had to think even if they didn’t want to.

Everyone looked at each other, they could only nod in unison: “Alright!”

Of course, this didn’t include Song Bai Yuan and Tie Lan Yan, who were watching the show in the corner.

When the skinny monkey searched everyone, Song Bai Yuan had already determined that they were not threatening.

He had been a soldier for so many years, he had been on hundreds of missions, and the bandits and robbers he had encountered were all vicious and ruthless, they would kill, burn, loot, and do anything.

But these three bandits looked silly and goofy, and their actions weren’t cruel.

If it weren’t for the guns in their hands, he wouldn’t have been able to tell they were bandits.

Now, hearing the leader say that they were forced to kidnap people, he finally understood their motives, and he even felt a little sympathy.

No wonder Comrade Tie Lan Yan said that these three bandits wouldn’t hurt anyone, so that’s how it was.

Song Bai Yuan’s mood had completely relaxed.

He would just wait for the end of this farce, and then take them down when they least expected it.

No matter what, they were holding people at gunpoint, it was wrong, he had to catch them and confiscate their weapons.

At this time, Tie Lan Yan, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke:

“We two don’t need to, we were just sitting in the cave by the fire, we didn’t do anything, we were implicated by them.”

Han Ke’er immediately jumped out: “Tie Lan Yan, how can you be so cold-blooded, we’re all down-to-earth intellectuals, we’re friends, are you going to stand by and watch us die?”

Tie Lan Yan chuckled: “Don’t put such a big hat on me!

If you really consider me a friend, when you go back, give me all your savings and food, I won’t refuse.”

Han Ke’er was furious: “You!…”

“Alright, stop arguing, you’re giving me a headache!”

The skinny monkey glared at Han Ke’er, then whispered a few words to Scar Liu.

Then he looked at Tie Lan Yan and Song Bai Yuan and said:

“You two don’t need to think of a way, but you still have to leave us with some leverage.”

They had to be fair, otherwise the others would have objections.

Tie Lan Yan nodded: “Alright.”

These three guys didn’t know that she was the one who robbed them.

If they knew, they would have run away long ago.

I guess the guns in their hands are fake, otherwise Scar Liu wouldn’t let the simpleton hold a real gun.

Song Bai Yuan didn’t know this, he was still thinking about how to subdue these three bandits with guns.

As he was thinking, a handful of melon seeds suddenly appeared beside him.

Song Bai Yuan was stunned, a soft voice reached his ears:

“I know you’ve already untied your hands, come, have some seeds, watch the show.”

Song Bai Yuan:……
