Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Chapter 859 The Substitute Bride (21)

Big Cat felt a little relieved when he saw Xiong Bufan's shadow. He could find Xiong Bufan, but he knew there would be something interesting to watch, so Xiong Bufan would definitely come out.

Xiong Bufan looked at the horses galloping nearby and licked his lips. Those horses could definitely be sold for a lot of money.

We can figure out a way to rob these people of their horses and then steal all their money.

This time, the big cat didn't put down the wood and let them pass directly, which made Xiong Bufan very dissatisfied.

The duck that was about to be eaten flew away. Xiong Bufan couldn't understand what the big cat was thinking, refusing money that was offered to him.

"Boss, they're not easy to mess with. We'd better not cause trouble for ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Bufan couldn't help but slap the big cat on the shoulder. "Do you think I'm easy to mess with?"

"If you run into any trouble, just come to me."

Big Cat quietly approached Xiong Bufan, "Boss, I suspect they are bandits from a dozen miles away from the capital."

Let's not cause any more trouble; we're content with just making some money."

Xiong Bufan: "Didn't you say before that there were no bandits?"

"Boss, I didn't say that, I swear."

Xiong Bufan figured that Da Mao had simply forgotten, and he was too lazy to argue with her at the moment. In any case, she was going to rob bandits no matter what, and double-cross them.

"Stop making those useless vows. Be smart these next few days. When it really matters, I'll take you to get promoted and make a fortune."

When it came to making money, Da Mao completely trusted Xiong Bufan. "Boss, can I take Cui Niang with me when I leave?"

Do you know the exact location of those bandits?

"I don't know, but I do know they're on Qinglong Mountain."

Xiong Bufan: "Useless trash, be smarter lately."

"Okay, boss."

The thought of getting rich made Xiong Bufan feel a little better.

Big Cat remembered Xiong Bufan's words. He first walked around the front and back of the house, and then arranged for his men to start sharpening the sticks. He also instructed them to report any slight disturbance immediately, whether it was day or night.

Although the beggars didn't understand what was happening, they nervously began sharpening their sticks.

As darkness fell, the family set up the stove and lit the fire early in the morning.

There were quite a few beggars who stayed here to guard the town, so everyone set up three large pots to cook.

Xiong Bufan basked in the sunset in the yard, occasionally strolling over to the pot to peek at the food and see when it was ready.

The big cat went to look around here and there, fully demonstrating its cleverness.

Even in the middle of the night, the big cat still kept watch with its two eyes open, too afraid to sleep.

A sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the big cat suddenly sat up in bed, looked out the window, and found nothing there. The moonlight shone gently on the ground, and the insects outside were still chirping incessantly.

The big cat wiped the sweat from his forehead; he seemed to be having a nightmare.

As long as everything is alright, the big cat lay down, rolled over, and continued sleeping.

Do the things you need to do during the day, and use the night to sleep.

About half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside again, "clatter clatter clatter".

The big cat opened its eyes impatiently. This time, the sound of horses' hooves didn't stop, and the chirping of insects continued.

Xiong Bufan's words came to mind. The big cat got out of bed and ran quickly to the lookout tower, only to find that fifteen or sixteen horses were heading straight for the house and were surrounding it.

"Oh no! Oh no! We're under enemy attack!"

The big cat was yelling at the top of its lungs around the house, and the beggars, disturbed by the noise, all ran out of their rooms. "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"We can hear horses' hooves approaching. Call the boss and let's pack up and leave quickly."

Life is only once, and the big cat is unwilling to give up its life unless it is absolutely necessary.

So you can find another house, and you can even marry into another family, but you can't live without life.

Big Cat ran over and banged on Xiong Bufan's door, "Boss, something bad has happened! Someone's here to cause trouble for us!"

"I know what I'm doing, so don't bother me."

Big Cat was anxious; he really couldn't bring himself to abandon his companion. "Boss, please come with us!"

Xiong Bufan opened the door and said, "I'm not leaving. If you have the courage, come and fight with me."

"Boss, can you wait until I get married, have children, take care of them, and grow old happily with Cui Niang before we fight again?"

Sometimes Xiong Bufan really didn't want to fight, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy if she didn't. This was the first time she had seen someone describe being afraid of death in such a refined and elegant way, so she kicked him and said, "Go if you want, don't go if you don't."

Big Cat got up from the ground, grabbed his stick, and obediently followed behind Xiong Bufan. "Boss, I'll go—"

Xiong Bufan rolled his eyes, pulled out his sword, and walked towards the door.

Several burly men with masked faces stood outside the fence, each holding a large knife, seemingly there to cause trouble.

Xiong Bufan: "Robbery! Hand over the money and the horse!"

The leader outside the fence ignored Xiong Bufan's words and kicked the fence at Xiong Bufan, shouting, "Kill them all!"

The big cat looked at the knife that was still reflecting the moonlight, then at its own wooden stick, and thought to itself that it couldn't fight this battle, but if it didn't fight, it would die.

Without realizing it, he became ruthless; these people were clearly there to pick a fight and kill him.

Xiong Bufan charged forward with his broadsword, cutting people down as easily as chopping cabbages.

Before they could even get over the fence completely, they had almost all of them killed.

Big Cat looked at Xiong Bufan and thought to himself how sensible he was back then. If he had angered the boss, would he have been chased and attacked as well?

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiong Bufan had dealt with everyone, ensuring they were thoroughly dead.

"Big Cat, go and fetch the horse. Tomorrow we'll take it to the capital and sell it. The rest of you, go and search the corpse for the silver."

Sometimes, when people are so afraid of being poor, they don't care whether the person is alive or dead. The beggars didn't hesitate to search for money just because the person was dead. After hearing Xiong Bufan's words, they rushed over like a swarm of bees.

Big Cat looked on with envy; he also wanted to go find money.

"I'll give you ten percent of the money from selling the horse."

A good horse on the market now costs twenty taels of silver, and a 10% profit is two taels of silver. Once these dozen or so horses are sold, Big Cat will have enough money to marry Cui Niang.

So when Big Cat heard Xiong Bufan's words, he felt dizzy and thought he was dreaming.

The other beggars looked at the big cat with a mixture of envy and jealousy; the big cat seemed to always be very lucky.

In the following time, Xiong Bufan led his men to dig pits and bury all the troublemakers, so that the corpses would not attract the attention of the government.

The big cat was basically laughing the whole time. Things that he used to think were cruel now seemed somewhat normal. They were just trying to protect themselves.
