Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Grimacing
“Hero, spare my life! I was blind and bumped into you. Please spare my little life. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old baby waiting for
to take care of them at ho,” the man in black pleaded in agony.
Big Bull was growing impatient and stomped on his chest again, saying, “Stop your nonsense, or do you believe I will cripple you?”
The man in black winced in pain, sweat dripping down his forehead. At this mont, his life was in soone else’s hands, and despite the pain, he dared not make a sound.
Big Bull asked again coldly, “Tell , who exactly sent you?”
The man in black had his chest kicked by Big Bull, and now, pinned under his foot, he couldn’t move at all.
He finally understood Big Bull’s fierceness and did not dare to delay in answering his questions. Bearing the pain, he said intermittently, “Today, you were carrying a tiger to the Yan to claim a reward. We were watching and knew you had ten thousand taels of silver on you. We brothers couldn’t resist the temptation; it was a mont of folly that made us think of robbing you, Hero, please spare our lives!”
Big Bull stared at him with cold eyes for a long ti, convinced he was not lying. Moreover, he had tested them and found their martial arts skills were not advanced, probably not assassins from the Capital. He slowly moved his foot away and said icily, “Get lost quickly. If I ever see you doing such vile deeds again, next ti I will definitely cripple you.”
“Yes, yes, thank you, Hero, for sparing our lives,” the man in black struggled to get up, covered his wound with his hand, and fled awkwardly towards his accomplices.
Seeing two of their brothers injured, the other n in black did not dare linger. No matter how enticing the silver was, it wasn’t worth their lives; they quickly picked up their leader and ran off like a swarm.
Big Bull walked over to the carriage and patted the carriage driver on the back, “Uncle Yu, the thieves are gone. We should start our journey back.”
To his surprise, as soon as his hand touched his back, Coachman Yu, without even looking at him, pleaded like a frightened rabbit, “Master, spare my life! Please, I beg you, don’t kill .”
Knowing the thieves had fled, Xuexue stepped down from the carriage, glanced at the panicked Coachman Yu, and without a word, walked over and slapped him twice…
“Slap! Slap!”
Only then did Coachman Yu co to his senses, looking at Xuexue with a bewildered face and said, “Why did you hit ?”
“Uncle Yu, you were so scared by those thieves that you lost your wits. If I hadn’t hit you, would you have co to your senses?” Xuexue said innocently.
“Oh, right, right, where are the thieves? Where are the thieves?” Coachman Yu regained his senses and started looking around.
Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Stop looking. They have already been driven away by Big Bull.”
Coachman Yu’s face brightened, “Really? When did that happen? How didn’t I know?”
He had been so frightened he’d buried his head between his knees, so it wasn’t strange that he didn’t know. If Xuexue hadn’t slapped him awake, he would probably still be there pleading for rcy.
Thinking to himself, and considering that Coachman Yu was a man, Xuexue decided to spare his face. She didn’t point out his cowardice, instead, she said, “They said you were bewitched by the fear. If I hadn’t slapped you awake, you might not even recognize your own wife and children when we get ho, which would be terrible.”
“Ah yes! Good slap, good slap,” Coachman Yu touched his swollen cheek and smiled foolishly.
It wasn’t really his fault. As a farr who had spent his life diligently tending to the fields and occasionally driving the carriage to town to earn a few copper coins to help with household expenses, he had never experienced such terrifying scenes. Not wetting his pants was already quite comndable.
