Chapter 226 What does it have to do with me?
But to his surprise, when his brothers heard that he was going to lead men to plunder grain, none of them wanted to leave.
"Big brother, we're not leaving, we want to go with you..."
"Yes, we're not leaving. We're going with you. We may not be the strongest, but we can definitely take down two people."
"Yes, yes, yes, let us take down two people, that's definitely no problem, and we don't want to hide and do nothing..."
"Brother, please let us go with you. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease."
Lin Long selected twenty brothers, but those who stayed did not want to stay. After hearing their words, Lin Long let them make their own decision.
In the end, only a few people stayed behind; the rest went with him.
When Lin Bao saw them going together, he was about to follow, but before he could even leave the house, Lin Long grabbed his clothes and dragged him back.
"What are you doing following us? What does this have to do with you? Come home with me right now."
Lin Bao was displeased upon hearing this and looked at Lin Long seriously: "Why should I go back?"
"If you can go, why can't I? Besides, we're almost out of food at home, so I have to find a way to take some back with me, right?"
"You don't need to worry about the food problem, I'll take care of it. If you don't want to go back, just stay here and wait."
But Lin Bao was unwilling to stay and insisted on going with them, even Lin Long's forceful suppression couldn't stop him.
In the middle of the night, Lin Bao, lying in the grass, looked at the light in the distance: "Are they here tonight to steal from them?"
"How much grain did they bring in total? How many people were carrying the grain? Have you figured all of this out?"
When Lin Long heard what he said, he turned to look at him. If it weren't for the fact that it was so late at night, he really wanted to give this stupid younger brother a whack on the back of the head.
Of course they have investigated thoroughly. If they hadn't investigated thoroughly, who would come here?
Are you lying here in the middle of the night just to keep an eye on what's in front of you, only to be sent to your death?
They came in two teams, one led by Du Wei and the other by Lin Long, and the two teams were in different directions.
When taking action, birdsong is used as a signal; once the birdsong is heard, everyone begins to move.
Lin Long lay in the grass for a while and watched. When he saw the fire gradually getting smaller, he knew that the people over there were about to rest.
But now was not the time to act, so they could only lie in the haystack and wait. Finally, it was late at night, and the weather became even colder.
With snow falling and visibility even lower, Lin Long called Atai over.
"Go, send them the signal."
Atai nodded, stepped back, and took one person with him to the other side of the woods.
Lin Bao stared intently ahead, waiting for the next move, but before they could react, they saw the people on the other side fall down one by one.
Seeing this, Lin Long and Du Wei were dumbfounded. They hadn't even had time to act yet, how could someone have intercepted them?
Upon seeing someone trying to intercept them, the two groups immediately rushed forward with their men, shouting, "Stop! Stop! What are you doing? Don't you know the rules of the underworld?"
"We spotted them first, how could you make a move?"
The speaker was one of Dewey's men. They were all furious, from top to bottom. After all these years of robbery, this was the first time they'd ever been robbed like this.
Hearing their words, Gu Bei turned to look at them and said, "These are people from an enemy country. Are you sure you want to get involved?"
"If we're not sure, then why did we come here?"
They were targeting this group of people; otherwise, they wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night to freeze them.
"Do you know where this grain came from, and what its purpose will be?"
How could a group of bandits possibly know about this? "What business is it of yours whether you know or not? Anyway, you can't take this grain with you. If you insist on taking it, then you'll have to see if we brothers will allow it."
After Gu Nan finished dealing with things over there, he came over and saw that there were many more people here. He looked at Gu Bei and asked, "What's going on?"
"Hurry up and pack your things and leave. Are you planning to wait here and deliver food to them?"
Gu Bei knew he needed to leave quickly, but these people wouldn't let him go.
After Gu Nan finished speaking, he looked at Du Wei and Lin Long and said, "You're robbing people, aren't you? Go back and go to sleep. You have nothing to do with these things. If you insist on having them, you'll have to solve the problems yourself."
Dewey was unconvinced. His men had already done their research, and if they killed all the escorts, no one would know who did it.
But this person insists that there are more problems later on; isn't that just trying to scare people?
Dewey was a bandit leader, and he had been terrified since childhood, so what this person said had absolutely no effect on him.
"Young man, judging from your voice, you're not very old. You must still be a child at home, right?"
"You're so small, yet you're out here doing this kind of work. If your parents knew, wouldn't they be heartbroken?"
Gu Nan and Gu Bei didn't react to these words at all, and Gu Nan's eyes were always looking at Lin Long.
Then he confirmed that he was not seeing things; he really did see Lin Bao, whom he had seen in Gujia Village.
Lin Bao also noticed that this person was staring at him. He glanced at the person and searched his memory, only to find that he didn't remember this person at all.
Lin Bao, holding his elder brother's hand, stared warily at Gu Nan. Gu Nan, whose face was covered except for his eyes, immediately gave up the idea of calling him out after seeing his actions.
They were clearly two groups working together to rob people. If he stopped Lin Bao, there was no guarantee that the other group wouldn't have other ideas.
Gu Nan glanced at it and then looked away: "It's almost ready, and our people will be here soon. Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Dewey immediately ordered his men to stop them.
Gu Nan looked at the person in front of him, his eyes flashing with coldness. His icy voice rang in everyone's ears: "Get out of the way."
But the people in front wouldn't budge an inch, so Dewey stepped forward and said, "Young man, I'm not afraid to tell you, we're here tonight specifically for this batch of grain."
“We originally planned to divide the grain equally after we brought it back, but now that you’re involved, we won’t get anything. It’s the middle of the night and it’s chilly, and we’ve made a wasted trip. Anyone would be unhappy in this situation.”
"What does your unhappiness have to do with me? It's not my fault. If you want food, then figure it out yourself. Anyway, these won't do."
