Wait!!!
Gu Yu’s sudden kick caught everyone off guard!
By the time they reacted, Gu Yu had already pulled Gu Mengyao back a distance to prevent the robbers from attacking.
He wasn’t so angry as to lose his mind and try to fight the robbers with knives bare-handed!
After all, Gu Yu was just a child at this time, and his strength was not equal to that of an adult.
However, seeing Wang Er Tou’s distracted state and his own improved body, these two factors combined led Gu Yu to kick Wang Er Tou directly in the groin.
Anyway, he still had the golden finger of space in his hand and wasn’t worried about his and Gu Mengyao’s lives being in danger. If his wife was bullied and he had to endure it silently, then what was the point of having this space?
Ever since Gu Mengyao had bravely rushed out and selflessly stood in front of Gu Yu, the image of a little sister who needed to be protected had changed in Gu Yu’s mind.
Although it wasn’t enough to immediately transform her into a hot and seductive mature woman, she was no longer someone who needed constant protection.
It was like a seed breaking free from the constraints of the soil, stretching out its delicate branches, and gradually showing the tendency to grow into a towering tree.
Gu Yu even felt that in the future, he might even be protected by his “little wife.”
[Gu Mengyao’s Favorability +50, Space is Upgrading…]
Wait!!!
Although Gu Yu wanted the space to upgrade, it wasn’t at this time!
The timing for Gu Mengyao to be moved was too bad!
These three robbers were still here! If he fainted, wouldn’t it just add to Gu Mengyao’s burden?
After hearing the notification of the space upgrade, Gu Yu felt a surge of anxiety, but reality didn’t allow him any room for luck. In a few seconds, no matter how much Gu Yu struggled, his eyes went black, and he fainted completely.
Gu Mengyao, who noticed Gu Yu swaying unsteadily, caught him in time. Her small face was filled with anger, and her body trembled with rage.
It was all these people who made her husband faint from anger!
Slightly lowering her eyelids to temporarily suppress her sharp gaze, Gu Mengyao placed Gu Yu’s body on the ground. Then, she walked up to Yan Min, her face no longer showing shock but a cold indifference.
“Yan Min, I’ll spare you because you and my father had a few years of friendship. Even though you brought people to rob my husband this time, I won’t do anything to you. But these two will never be let go.”
“Gu girl, you… they are not simple people. Don’t provoke them. Your family’s situation is already bad enough, and you don’t need to cause more trouble. Just leave. I’m here today, and they dare not do anything to you.”
“Damn you, you dared to kick me! I’ll cut you to death.”
As Gu Mengyao was talking to Yan Min, Wang Er Tou, who had been kicked in the groin, managed to recover from the extreme pain. His face was filled with resentment, and he picked up the saber in his hand. Enduring the pain, he shuffled forward.
It looked like he intended to attack the unconscious Gu Yu.
“Scram!”
Seeing this, Gu Mengyao could no longer contain her anger. Before Wang Er Tou could take two more steps, Gu Mengyao kicked him directly in the abdomen, sending him flying several meters away.
As Wang Er Tou landed, he couldn’t suppress the sweet, fishy taste in his throat and spurted out a large mouthful of blood with a “poof.”
For a moment, the scene was silent.
Wang Er Tou was too severely injured to speak, while Yan Min and the other robber were shocked by Gu Mengyao’s strength, being able to kick someone so far with just one kick!
This was only with a fraction of her strength. If she had used her full power, Wang Er Tou wouldn’t have even stood a chance at life.
Although Gu Mengyao was angry, she didn’t want to end up in prison for such a person. So, she only taught him a lesson, to let the man understand whom he shouldn’t provoke.
However, Gu Mengyao’s lesson was almost her taking Wang Er Tou’s life for real…
“At this point, you still want to persuade me to let things go? My Gu family is not someone anyone can trample on. If you make a move, you must pay the price.”
If Gu Yu were awake, he definitely wouldn’t let Gu Mengyao say that. Instead, he would have directly broken an arm or a leg to truly teach them a lesson, rather than just a warning.
However, Gu Mengyao was currently just a thirteen-year-old girl. Although she had been hunting on the mountain before, she was dealing with wild beasts, which was different from dealing with humans.
Even the kick just now was due to her anger when Wang Er Tou tried to attack Gu Yu, so she kicked him hard in a moment of desperation.
Therefore, Gu Mengyao could only say a few harsh words for now. She also gave the other person a few kicks to the buttocks before ignoring Yan Min and carrying the unconscious Gu Yu into the shed of the ox cart.
Afterward, Gu Mengyao directly reached out and pinched the coachman’s philtrum, forcing him to wake up.
“Elder, I truly have no money! Please, I have old people above and young children below, my family… Huh?”
“It’s nothing, continue driving.”
The timid coachman, as he slowly woke up, didn’t even have a few seconds to be dazed before he immediately recalled what had happened before he fainted. This caused the coachman to cry out in pain, intending to play pitiable to be let go.
He was just an innocent person! He couldn’t risk his life for a few dozen coins!
However, before the coachman could finish his prepared words, he suddenly saw the scene before him. As if unable to believe it, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes hard, finally confirming that what he was seeing was indeed happening!
The previously arrogant robbers were now lying on the ground in pain, and the other two stood still, not daring to move, which made the coachman wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He immediately flicked his whip, urging the old yellow ox forward.
Although he didn’t know who the suddenly appearing girl was, it was best to leave now. He shouldn’t have come out for a mere ten cents more next time.
This wasn’t sending people, it was sending lives!!!
And after seeing the power of Gu Mengyao’s kick, which sent an adult flying, all three robbers remained frozen, not daring to make a sound.
Wang Er Tou couldn’t even stand up now. Seeing Gu Mengyao and the other two preparing to leave, he could only stare with hatred in his eyes, but he didn’t dare to make any moves, fearing another kick.
As for Yan Min, because he knew Gu Mengyao’s father, he couldn’t possibly stop them.
As for the last remaining robber, he could only watch as the opportunity slipped away.
Making a move? The previous example was still spitting blood beside him!
Thus, Gu Mengyao’s intention to pick up Gu Yu and bring him home was achieved. Apart from some minor incidents in between, the ox cart rumbled home, and the coachman also helped unload the goods from the cart. He took the money Gu Mengyao gave him and quickly drove away.
This job was truly a perilous one, and he needed to drink some wine and calm his nerves upon returning home.
Gu Mengyao, who had already returned home, was deeply moved upon seeing the pile of things unloaded from the cart.
These were all things the family was lacking. Gu Yu’s thoughtfulness in thinking of these was indeed very considerate.
It also proved that Gu Yu truly cherished this family.
Not to mention, upon seeing the few sets of delicately colored clothes, Gu Mengyao subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her own patched clothes.
Instantly, her cheeks turned slightly red.
Gu Mengyao was at an age where girls liked to dress up. Wearing gray, patched clothes every day concealed much of her beauty.
As the saying goes, “Clothes make the man, gold adorns the Buddha.” Even if one looked like an immortal reborn, dressing like a beggar would not be beautiful.
Gu Mengyao, holding the clothes and feeling touched, glanced at Gu Yu, who was sleeping on the bed. Her favorability rose rapidly. However, because Gu Yu was unconscious at the moment, she received none of it, and Gu Mengyao’s goodwill was wasted.
However, to be honest, Gu Mengyao’s favorability was like a surging flood. If Gu Yu fainted a few more times, perhaps Gu Mengyao would really go up the mountain to find ginseng to replenish Gu Yu’s health.
“Sister, didn’t you go to pick him up early because you were worried about brother-in-law? Why is he unconscious again when you came back?”
“I happened to run into some robbers on the way who wanted to attack Yu, and I dealt with them. They were too rampant, actually…”
“Ah! Did Sister expose herself then!”
Just as Gu Mengyao was feeling touched, Gu Qingheng entered the house. Upon seeing Gu Yu lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his cute little face immediately creased. Then he asked what was going on.
And when he heard Gu Mengyao mention encountering robbers, Gu Qingheng was startled. Before Gu Mengyao could finish, he urgently inquired.
Gu Mengyao’s secret of innate divine strength must not be exposed!
When their eldest brother Gu was still alive, he knew of Gu Mengyao’s great strength since birth, so not only Gu Mengyao but also Gu Qingheng were educated from a young age not to easily expose this secret.
“An innocent person commits no crime for possessing wealth.” This principle was not only unknown to their eldest brother Gu who had never attended school, but his years of life experience were not in vain. If people with ill intentions knew that Gu Mengyao possessed divine strength, they might exploit her for evil deeds.
It was precisely because of their eldest brother Gu’s decision that Gu Mengyao’s divine strength had not been exposed to this day. After a series of changes, her divine strength had become a powerful means for Gu Mengyao to survive, allowing her, a small girl, to hunt on the mountain to earn money.
Therefore, it was also why Gu Qingheng, upon hearing Gu Mengyao say that she had dealt with the robbers, immediately thought… his sister had likely exposed her secret of divine strength.
He had to admit, his brother-in-law was truly a beauty that caused trouble! His sister’s secret, which she had kept for so many years, was now easily exposed for her brother-in-law.
“It should be exposed. I didn’t think much of it at the time. As soon as I saw that person wanting to chop Yu with a knife, I couldn’t help myself.”
“What! They even used a knife! Sister, why didn’t you beat those guys to death!”
When Gu Mengyao heard Gu Qingheng’s inquiry, her face immediately showed embarrassment, and she then somewhat sheepishly told the truth. At that time, she really didn’t think much of it, and her body had already moved forward, kicking directly…
Gu Qingheng originally blamed his sister for exposing the secret too easily, but after hearing that the robbers had used knives, he didn’t say anything else. Instead, he blamed Gu Mengyao for not beating those robbers to death.
One could imagine with his backside that his sister, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, although aware of some things to avoid, was still unable to actively harm or injure others.
In contrast, Gu Qingheng preferred his brother-in-law, who acted decisively without hesitation. If anyone dared to bully them, he would immediately retaliate tenfold.
“Qingheng, it should be fine. After all, I only kicked that person. The secret of divine strength wasn’t exposed. At most, they’ll think I have great strength… Anyway, there were only three of them. Even if they say anything, no one will believe them.”
“Hmph, it’s not me I’m saying this, but Sister! Next time you encounter such a situation, you should at least break an arm and scare them, so as to avoid future trouble.”
“I can’t bring myself to treat people like wild beasts.”
“When they held knives to chop brother-in-law, you could do it?”
“…”
Gu Qingheng snorted proudly, wishing he could mentally brainwash his sister to prevent her from being so naive in the future. He, an eight-year-old child, understood this principle, and he hoped his sister would also realize it… letting a tiger return to the mountain must be guarded against!
