"What’s your na?"
After asking what he wanted to know, Lu Xi’an asked the woman her na.
The woman said, "Ba Niang. My surna is Ba, and my na is Ba Niang."
Surna Ba, given na Niang...
What a simple and straightforward na.
But considering today’s world, where cultural education has sharply declined, most people can’t even read, what good na could they have?
It’s already decent that this woman isn’t called "Ba Won."
"Surna Ba?"
Lu Xi’an said, "That’s quite a rare surna."
But the woman, Ba Niang, said, "Master, you’re joking. The surna ’Ba’ is quite common in our Yao County."
"Is that so."
Lu Xi’an reflected briefly, realizing he’d made an experiential error, and shouldn’t view this world with the common sense of his past life.
In his previous life, common surnas were Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, but here, it could be different; common surnas might include Ba, Lao, Si Niao, and so on.
"What are the surnas of the two people who ca with you?"
He casually asked.
"One is Ba, the other is Yao."
Ba Niang said.
Lu Xi’an nodded and didn’t dwell on Ba Niang’s words, taking the woman and lifting up another man to question afar.
He naturally wouldn’t believe Ba Niang’s one-sided words, even though this woman had now beco extrely fawning and humble, calling him ’Master’ with every breath.
The other two n’s severed limbs had stopped bleeding, which was a relief for Lu Xi’an.
As he carried one of the n away, he casually asked, "What’s your surna?"
The man, in great pain, couldn’t muster the strength to answer. Ba Niang quickly replied, "His surna is Yao, Master. His na is Yao."
Yao Wei suddenly looked at Ba Niang. This address had caught Yao Wei off guard; she hadn’t expected this woman to suddenly call Lu Xi’an that.
— As for one of these two n having the surna Yao, she wasn’t particularly concerned. Across the world, she’d encountered people with the sa surna, which seed normal to her.
Then she saw the woman turn around, struggling to kneel down, making the injured leg touch the ground, inflicting more pain, and bowing, "Master!"
Yao Wei: "..."
Her eyes widened slightly, her expression suggesting that she thought this woman might be crazy.
Lu Xi’an saw Yao Wei’s expression, couldn’t help but laugh, and said, "Let her explain the situation to you. I’ll take this person aside."
After speaking, thinking it over, he put down the man called "Yao," picked up another, and left.
This Yao seed too weak to answer questions, better to ask the other one.
This other one, is it a Ba?
Ba Niang said these two are one Ba and one Yao.
Surnad Yao in Yao County, not sure if it’s a common surna.
Ba Niang watched as Lu Xi’an carried the man away, suddenly recalling the earlier surna question, her heart skipped a beat.
"Ba" is quite common, why did the Master say it was rare?
Could he an sothing else?!
Rembering how Lu Xi’an put down Yao and picked up another person after asking Yao’s surna, Ba Niang suddenly concocted an absurd and terrifying answer in her mind—
Could the Master be displeased with the surna "Ba" and plan to eradicate the Ba surna from Yao County until it’s rare?!
Thinking of this, she was simultaneously horrified and unable to suppress a surge of excitent.
Many powerful figures in the county have the surna Ba, including her current boss and several other big shots.
If these people were all killed by the Master, then she, with the Master’s backing, wouldn’t she be second to none in Yao County?!
Hmm...
Second to two...
Ba Niang carefully looked at Yao Wei and asked, "Master, may I use the torn leg from earlier to tear off the pant leg and bandage it?"
"Hmm."
Yao Wei replied coldly.
This Master speaks so little.
But although this Master says little, Ba Niang inexplicably felt this Master was much easier to talk to than the other one.
She quickly thanked, "Thank you, Master!" which made Yao Wei speechless.
Afterward, Ba Niang picked up her severed limb, removed the pant leg from the broken limb, and tied it around the wound.
The wound, for the mont, was dealt with.
The wound had already dried, forming a thin layer, and now wrapped in a piece of cloth, it wouldn’t easily get infected.
For people in this world, compared to through-and-through wounds, this type of injury is easier to handle and survive.
After bandaging the wound, she again thanked Yao Wei, "Thank you, Master!"
Yao Wei: "..."
Having expressed her gratitude, Ba Niang took the initiative to tell Yao Wei about her recent conversation with Lu Xi’an.
Yao Wei understood what was up with Ba Niang and was pondering the current situation in Yao County’s town. No wonder her mother said that Jiangbei City was chaotic; she didn’t even know who was in charge there.
It seed right that she and Lu Xi’an decided not to go to Jiangbei, but to take a detour through Pingchuan.
After a while, Lu Xi’an ca back carrying that man surnad Ba. Ba Niang was a bit surprised, "Master... you didn’t kill him?"
The man surnad Ba’s face turned pale instantly, "Ba Niang, you????!!!!"
"Why kill him?"
Lu Xi’an frowned and asked.
"Uh..."
Ba Niang said, "In our county, there’s a popular phrase: decisive in killing. The old boss used to praise himself like this.
"But in my opinion, he’s far inferior to the Master. Just now, the Master decisively broke the legs of the three of us and said those words. Didn’t that an he intended to make the surna Ba rare in the county?
"Master, now that’s what I call decisive in killing! Compared to you, the previous old boss and the current bosses are nowhere near!
"Or simply can’t compare at all!"
She kept explaining and praising, not caring why Lu Xi’an didn’t kill that man surnad Ba; she just assud the Master had his considerations.
As she kept praising, Yao Wei kept glancing at Lu Xi’an, whose mouth corner was twitching, while the man surnad Ba was staring directly at Ba Niang, wishing he could chop her with a knife and cut her tongue off.
The man surnad Ba was nad Ba Yu, and Lu Xi’an had just asked his na.
At this mont, Ba Yu was extrely angry at Ba Niang, cursing, "Ba Niang, you pig, talking is fine, but why drag into it?!"
After cursing, he quickly tried to flatter and beg Lu Xi’an, imitating Ba Niang by calling "Master" with every word, "Master! There are many people with the surna Ba in Yao County, it doesn’t matter if I’m one less!
"You keep one more of , even Ba surna is rare! If you want to kill, I’ll take you to Yao County now, Master please spare my life, don’t kill too!"
Yao, who was lying on the ground, was still too weak to speak. It’s as if he forgot his surna was Yao, not Ba, and with a terrified face, he nodded vigorously after listening to Ba Yu’s words.
Lu Xi’an understood what was going on, increasingly speechless.
Unexpectedly, a few unintentional questions from him made this woman create so many associations.
This woman, and the two n associated with her, were indeed not good people.
Earlier, for the sake of convenience and to prevent these three from having a chance to escape or make other small moves, he simply broke their legs at once. It seed to have been the right thing to do.
"Alright, enough,"
Lu Xi’an stopped them, saying, "Hurry and bandage yourselves, follow us into the city."
The two n and one woman imdiately closed their mouths. Ba Niang had already bandaged herself and was sitting obediently on the ground, while Ba Yu and Yao hurried to find their own legs, pulling out the pant legs and bandaging like Ba Niang.
At this ti, the person they had been chasing cautiously asked, "Master... what about ?"
He was clever enough. After listening for a while, he started calling "Master" as well. Not caring to escape now, he even wanted to tag along with Lu Xi’an’s car and mix into the new force revolving around the two Masters in front of him.
Lu Xi’an thought it didn’t matter whether it was one more person or two, so he said, "You follow as well."
That person was overjoyed, kneeling and kowtowing, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
Ba Niang, Ba Yu, and Yao glanced at that person, all filled with contempt, but dared not say anything.
Once they were bandaged, Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei watching them walked through the weeds toward the car.
The three of them were doing okay, even though each only had one leg left, they still hopped swiftly to catch up.
At the car, Lu Xi’an handed the car keys to Yao Wei, saying, "Here, you drive. This ti I’ll be on the car roof."
He weighed the stones in his hand, saying, "My hidden weapon technique’s more effective on the roof than yours."
"Mm."
Yao Wei agreed with Lu Xi’an, opened the car door, and got in.
Lu Xi’an then lifted one person in each hand, placing all four on the car roof in two trips, letting them sit at the front half of the car roof.
As for him, he would certainly sit in the rear half position, both convenient for observing the surroundings of the car and keeping an eye on the actions of these four people.
Although these four people were not a threat to him by any asure, he habitually arranged it this way.
One more layer of security is a layer of security.
After arranging those four, Lu Xi’an opened the back car door and retrieved the spokes of a bicycle wheel from the car, holding it in his hand before climbing onto the car roof.
"Here."
When taking out the spoke, Yao Wei suddenly stretched her hand back from the main driving seat in the front, palm open.
Lu Xi’an saw three pebbles placed in Yao Wei’s hand, and she smiled and said, "You gathered them back, huh?"
"Mm."
Yao Wei replied softly.
This was found from the weeds when Lu Xi’an had taken Ba Niang away to talk before.
All three were still intact and undamaged.
"Thank you."
Lu Xi’an said briefly, closing the car door and jumping onto the car roof.
He had plans in mind now, realizing that to deal with ordinary people he didn’t need pebbles, the spokes of the bicycle wheel were perfect.
Using pebbles against ordinary people was simply too potent, sotis there was no need.
Once on the car roof, holding a spoke in one hand and twirling a stone in the other, the impression he gave was more terrifying than brandishing a gun.
Ba Niang was amazed at the terrifying power of the Neo-Humans; how with just a stone, he could wield such imnse force. Once these two Neo-Humans entered the city, those people inside were in for a tough ti!
So, she even found herself looking forward to it a bit.
