Chapter 668 - A record of eliminating bandits (1/2)

When Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin arrived at this small town in the northwest, they did not bother hiding the fact they had money. In fact, they even deliberately acted like they were extremely extravagant.

When they expressed they needed a place to spend the night, a family even vacated their own house for them to stay in. After that, the entire family moved into their relatives’ place, all because they could earn quite a bit of money from Ren Xiaosu.

When the neighbors saw that the two of them were very easygoing, they immediately brought over food for Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin. They even killed one of the chickens they reared and braised it before sending it over.

Ren Xiaosu did not reject anything at all. He accepted whatever was given to them at the door, paid for it, and carried the food into the house for Yang Xiaojin to eat.

As a matter of fact, the chicken stew made with local chickens was quite delicious.

After closing the door, Yang Xiaojin said while eating the chicken stew, “Are you trying to show them you’re rich? And then wait for them to make a move on you before killing all of the bandits here?”

Ren Xiaosu looked out through a gap in the door. Many of the refugees in town were quietly discussing them not far away from the house. Ren Xiaosu said, “You saw it too. There’s so many of them here. If we went on a killing spree at the entrance, wouldn’t most of them start fleeing? We’re not gonna run all over the mountains just to catch them, right? There’s only two of us, so it’d be great if we could catch just a fifth of them.”

Yang Xiaojin asked with a half-smile, “Didn’t we agree to say we’re siblings? Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

“I was just thinking that we don’t look like siblings at all. What if we end up getting exposed by claiming that we’re siblings?” Ren Xiaosu muttered.

Yang Xiaojin raised an eyebrow. So it seemed like he was implying that they looked more like a married couple? “By the way, I haven’t agreed to anything.”

Ren Xiaosu looked at her. “I went to Qinghe University and stood up for you. You said the guy you like doesn’t lead a pampered life, so I killed all those thugs before announcing to the students that I’m the guy you like.”

“Wait.” This was the first time Yang Xiaojin was hearing about this. She was stunned for some time before saying, “I only said that by the by. Obviously, you were the one who liked me first.”

Ren Xiaosu smiled good-naturedly and said, “It’s all the same.”

Yang Xiaojin realized Ren Xiaosu was often quite shameless, but that was only in speech. His actions were as cowardly as ever.

“They don’t really know what the situation is with us at the moment, so it’s unlikely they’ll make a move for the time being.” Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, “But I keep getting the feeling that this town is a little strange. They don’t look like bandits at all.”

But then, another group of people came back from outside the town. All of the townspeople rushed over. “Lei-zi, I heard that you gathered some people and headed to the North to do business with the nomads. How was it? Did you make a profit?”

Su Lei smiled and patted the fur hides he was carrying on his shoulder. “Look here, whaddaya see?”

When some of the refugees saw the glossy fur hides, their eyes turned green with envy. Some of them wanted to feel it, but Su Lei and the others moved out of their way.

Su Lei joked, “These are the goods that our investor, a lord from the grasslands, have given us on credit. You can’t afford to pay if you damage it.”
