"Azure Lotus Sword Song!"
Under the enhanced Insight Mode, Wang Shu's brain was calm to a certain extent, but his brain cells were constantly operating intensely.
His eyes were cold and sharp, a branch in his hand, his figure turned into a blurry afterimage, erratic in the air.
The Flower Picking Thief Tian Bodang's saber technique was extremely fast, but Wang Shu's branch was even faster, and he aimed accurately at the flaws, hitting with one strike.
"Ouch!"
This fragile branch turned into a nimble snake, twisting and turning!
Tian Bodang cried out in surprise, a red mark was drawn on his palm by the branch, twitching non-stop, the Pig Slaughtering Knife flew out of his hand, and he rubbed the back of his hand vigorously to relieve the burning pain.
"You little brat, ouch, my hand!" Tian Bodang cried out in pain, jumping up and down on the spot, his face twitching non-stop, baring his teeth.
"Tian Bodang, give up harassing the Hundred Li Village people, or this young master will beat you to death!" Saying that, Wang Shu picked up the branch as a demonstration.
"Bah, don't even think about separating me and Er Ya!" Tian Bodang said angrily.
"I'll go, do you even have any shame? A Flower Picking Thief is actually so loyal and unyielding, doesn't he even want his life?"
Wang Shu felt very strange about Tian Bodang's inexplicable persistence. Why give up the entire world of flowers for the flower in front of him?
"You're just a kid, you don't understand, you're too young. This is love!" Tian Bodang said with a serious face, full of bitterness and affection.
"#@@#!"
Wang Shu really couldn't stand Tian Bodang, and picked up the branch and whipped it wildly, making him scream.
If his long sword hadn't been broken, he might have really hacked Tian Bodang to death. A Flower Picking Thief actually described Flower Picking so fresh and refined, so noble.
"Even if you beat me to death, I won't give up, and you old man, you don't keep your word." Tian Bodang was beaten, but his mouth was not willing to show weakness.
Hearing this, Wang Shu couldn't help but stop and frowned.
What Tian Bodang said was a bit strange. The Old Village Chief didn't keep his word. Could it be that the two of them knew each other before? There seemed to be something fishy about this.
"Hit me, hit me to death, I won't give up!" Tian Bodang shouted excitedly.
Thinking back on his life, although he was known as the Flower Plucking Bandit, he had never successfully plucked a flower to this day.
He also had a great reputation in the Jianghu, but most of it was just a joke.
"Shut up!" Wang Shu scolded, but his eyes turned to the Old Village Chief and said:
"Old Li, aren't you going to explain? It seems there's something you're hiding from me."
The Hundred Li Village Old Village Chief's face changed, looking at Wang Shu, and then at Tian Bodang, who was covered in blood and bruises, and finally sighed and said:
"Young hero, in fact, there is really one thing we haven't told you."
Hearing this, Wang Shu's heart skipped a beat. There was really a hidden story in this.
He glanced at Tian Bodang on the ground, shivering and stubbornly gritting his teeth.
Could it be that he was tricked? This Tian Bodang was the real victim, and the Old Village Chief was the real drama queen. Was he framed?
But the task issued by 001 couldn't be aimless, right? What exactly is going on!
Old Village Chief's eyes showed a look of reminiscence: "The time can probably be traced back to two months ago, when Hundred Li Village wasn't like it is now.
A group of bandits came to the nearby mountains, and they often harassed our Hundred Li Village, even extorting money from us.
Over time, facing the constant harassment from the bandits, everyone was miserable.
At this time, this Flower Picking... Hero Tian appeared."
Old Village Chief pointed his finger at Tian Bodang, his body trembling, and continued:
"Hero Tian said he could help us solve the bandit problem, and naturally our whole village was delighted, promising to thank him handsomely.
However, Hero Tian didn't want our money, he only said he wanted me, the Old Village Chief, to promise him one thing.
After that, the bandits were driven away by this Hero Tian, left Hundred Li Village, and never came back.
After the bandit crisis was resolved, our whole village gathered some silver for Hero Tian, but he refused to accept it, and instead sent us many good things the next day!"
Old Village Chief paused here, a look of regret on his aged face.
"Sent you things?"
Wang Shu looked at Tian Bodang in disbelief, not seeing that this guy, despite his ugly appearance, had a good heart. How did the situation develop into what it is now?
"Alas, this is truly a sin. What I didn't expect was that he actually came to propose marriage! Wanting me to act as a matchmaker for him to propose to Er Ya of Tie Zhu's family. It's also my fault for making promises rashly back then." Old Village Chief sighed deeply.
Wang Shu seemed to understand. This Tian Bodang wasn't acting out of righteousness or not seeking reward, but had a grand scheme, one thing after another.
"Old Li, I helped you drive away the bandits. You promised me something and fulfilled it for me," Tian Bodang said at this time.
"But you didn't say you wanted me to be a matchmaker, and Er Ya doesn't want to, isn't that pushing Er Ya into a fire pit?" Old Village Chief said loudly.
"I don't care, you promised, so you have to do it!" Tian Bodang said.
"So later, you couldn't get what you wanted, and became angry and threatened the villagers of Hundred Li Village?" Wang Shu's expression was strange.
"Hero Tian, although I am the village chief, the marriage is decided by the parents. Tie Zhu doesn't agree, and Er Ya doesn't agree, so how can I agree?
If it really doesn't work, I'll marry my granddaughter Li Ru Hua to you, but you don't agree." Old Village Chief's face was anxious, also looking helpless.
"Li Ru Hua?" Wang Shu's face showed a strange expression.
The next second, the villagers present automatically made way for a path. Behind the crowd, a girl wearing a white coarse linen dress, with a graceful figure and long hair hanging over her shoulders, was facing away from everyone.
At first glance, this back view isn't bad, the figure is good and sturdy, not worse than the teenage Er Ya!
"Tian Bodang, this marriage from Old Village Chief's family isn't bad? Why insist on hanging yourself on one tree?"
Wang Shu said, last time he was far away, and only caught a glimpse of Ru Hua from the village chief's family.
"Then you might as well kill me!"
Tian Bodang looked at Wang Shu with a look of resignation, his emotions agitated, filled with grief and indignation.
At this time, Li Ru Hua slowly turned her body around. To be honest, it's rare to see such a beautiful back view in this remote place.
But the next second, Wang Shu regretted it.
Behind the beautiful back was a face so tragically inhuman, covered with layers of foundation, and lips like sausages, as if poisoned, a purplish black.
The girl's behavior was also outrageous. She kept putting her fingers in her mouth to suck on them, and from time to time, she would pick her nose as if no one else was around, scratching it vigorously a few times.
As if noticing Wang Shu's gaze, the girl grinned, revealing a "kind" smile.
Although Wang Shu wouldn't judge people by their appearance, unless he couldn't help it, he was truly frightened by this Li Cuihua at this moment.
Looking at the relatively normal-looking Old Li, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of sins he had committed in his previous life.
"This is your daughter?" Wang Shu asked.
"Please forgive her, young hero, my little girl is a bit shy!" the Old Village Chief said with a smile.
"Shy"?
Wang Shu didn't know what to say. He was frightened, but seeing Li Cuihua, who was like a wild beast, he thought of an idea to make Tian Bodang give up on marrying Er Ya.

After the old book updates on the 5th, the new book's updates will increase. I hope everyone supports it.)
