411: Sneaking Back

Sneaking Back

Lin Deshan immediately understood that this man was after the money.2

'I might as well surrender some money to chase him away.'

Immediately after, he took out 500 Wen from his pocket and handed it to the robber, saying, "I'm just a single farmer. There was a drought in the family, so I went to find my relative in the mountains to help them. This money is yours for compensation. Can you please let me pass?"

The man with a fierce look said to Lin Deshan with a knife in his hand. "Are you trying to dismiss a beggar? My brothers have been feeding mosquitoes for so long. Is it all in vain?"

As soon as he said "brothers," three or four people suddenly appeared in front and behind Lin Deshan's carriage. They all had long knives in their hands and looked fierce. Their expressions said that Lin Deshan would die if he didn't hand over the money.

Lin Deshan's forehead was covered in a cold sweat. If it was only one person, he could still negotiate his way out. However, there were four or five of them with big knives. He was doomed.

Did he really have to hand over the tens of thousands of taels?

However, looking at their fierce expressions, it was very likely that they would kill him to silence him even if he handed over the money.

Was he really going to die here?

Lin Deshan was very nervous, but the most important thing now was to calm down. Maybe there was a chance of survival.

Lin Deshan smiled and said, "Warriors, this is all I have. I just gave everything to my relatives. This money is for food. Please accept it."

However, the leader said, "Hmph, who are you trying to fool? Just these two carriages of yours are worth a few dozen taels, and you say you don't have money. Do you really think we're stupid?

"Anyway, you'll stay here today, the carriage, and your life too!" The man's eyes glowed with ferocity and viciousness.

It was best for the robbers to leave no one alive in case their relatives would seek revenge in the future.

Therefore, other than robbing the money and the carriage, they wanted to kill Lin Deshan to silence him!

Lin Deshan heard him and thought, 'oh no. I have to escape.'

Lin Deshan looked at the road and the surrounding environment, and the result made him feel despair.

There were tall mountains and trees on the left and a cliff on the right. He was surrounded from the front and back, and there was no way to escape.

Since the group of people had decided to rob the carriage, they were prepared. They picked up their large swords and slashed at Lin Deshan.

Lin Deshan closed his eyes in despair.

The men all stopped and looked at each other. A moment later, a short man asked the leader in panic, "brother, what's that sound?"

"Roar... Roar..."

Without the need for the leader to respond, the few of them finally heard what the sound was.

"Tiger!" The faces of the four people quickly turned pale. The hands holding the big knives suddenly stopped in mid-air. As their nerves tensed up, their hearts were filled with fear, and their bodies became weak. The big knives fell to the ground without them knowing it.

The leader of the group was the first to react. He glared at his subordinates and said sternly, "so what if it's a tiger? We only heard the roar. We'll immediately kill this person, rob the carriage, and then quickly leave. We'll be fine if we run far away." As he said that, he bent down and picked up the large saber that had fallen to the ground.

However, when he straightened his back again, he saw the two brothers' pale faces. Fear spontaneously appeared on their faces, and their voices trembled as they spoke, "Ti... Tiger..."

The leader of the group glared at the two. "What tiger? The tiger didn't even come. Hurry up, kill him and grab his things. Just this carriage alone can sell for tens of taels. It can feed us for a while."

The man was about to make a move on Lin Deshan, but his brother said in a trembling voice, "Boss... The tiger is behind us."

Then, they ran away immediately. The brotherhood was abandoned.
