Uncle Scholar Tree, a Tree Is Bullying Me!

These people quickly nodded and said, "Yes, we're still at the estate."

The bandit leader squinted and said, "Looks like a fat fish. I wonder whose daughter she is. Let's go now and catch her off guard."

But as soon as they finished speaking, they saw white powder flying everywhere.

Lingbao stood on the roof beam, scattering medicinal powder as he said, "Yes, yes, we must catch them off guard. Fat fish? Who exactly is the fat fish?"

After a while, Zhou Wanwan walked in and saw that all the bandits were lying on the ground.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the bandit's den and said, "These bandits certainly know how to manage their lives; they've kept this place very clean."

The women in the bandit's den were kneeling on the ground, trembling. Several of them pleaded, "Heroine, please spare us! We were captured by the bandits too!"

Zhou Wanwan didn't trust these women, so she asked a nearby orchid. Sure enough, the orchid sneered and said:

"These women were alright at first, but later they became accomplices of the bandits, and they killed countless people."

See that woman in red? Her favorite thing is torturing and killing children.

She even fried the child in oil; it was awful.

A wild chrysanthemum nearby chimed in:

"And that guy in green isn't any better."

Every time a new woman came to the mountain stronghold, she would find ways to torment her.

These two are the worst, and there are several accomplices as well.

These people pointed to more than ten women. Zhou Wanwan called them aside and said, "Drag all these women away!"

Countless roots appeared in the forest, and soon, the women were dragged deep into the woods.

And those bandits are also a favorite of these trees.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the remaining women and asked, "What are you going to do? Stay here or what?"

The women all knelt on the ground and said, "We'll do anything you ask. We have no other way to survive. Just give us some food, and we'll do anything. We'll obey your orders."

"Yes, we know a lot of things."

Zhou Wanwan was silent for a moment before saying, "Well, how about this? You can go to the estate and farm! Are you willing?"

"Yes, we are willing."

After Zhou Wanwan arranged a place for them, she saw the Old Scholar Tree addressing the trees in the village. "If you don't speak today, then you don't need to say anything at all. You'll be used as houses."

A peach tree said obsequiously:

"Tell me, tell me, but my knowledge is quite limited. Once, the bandit and his woman were making love under a tree, and they talked about this."

He said he had hidden a treasure, and if anything happened, he could have the woman in the green dress bring it out.

However, they didn't say where the treasure was hidden at the time.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and channeled energy into the peach tree. The peach tree pulled its roots out and was overjoyed. "I'm free! I'm free! Thank you, Master..."

A fig tree quickly said, "Master, I know where this treasure is."

Fig said, "In a cave, deep within this mountain."

Zhou Wanwan directly supplied it with energy, and the fig tree picked a few figs and gave them to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan peeled off the skin, took a bite, and said, "This tastes pretty good, quite sweet."

Fig said with a proud look on his face:

"My figs are indeed particularly delicious; everyone in the village loves to eat them."

I'll take you to the back mountain!

The fig tree quickly arrived at the back of the mountain, pointed to a towering tree, and said, "He said it was right under this tree."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the towering tree and said:

"Hello, is there any bandit treasure here?"

Could you tell me where it is? I can help you...

The tree suddenly revealed a fierce look and said:

"You bunch of trash think you can steal my treasure?"

Get out of here right now! Do you believe I'll kill you?

Zhou Wanwan was about to shout, "Uncle Scholar Tree, a tree is bullying me!"

The Old Scholar Tree rushed over and slapped it across the ground, causing the tree to howl in pain.

"You old bastard, how dare you hit me? You're tired of living."

You just wait, don't think you're the only one who can walk, I can too.

The camphor tree roared and pulled out all the roots, but as soon as it was pulled out, it lay straight on the ground.

"Ouch! My leg is broken! My leg is broken!"

Why can your legs walk, but mine can't?

The Old Scholar Tree kicked it far away, and then you could see a box under its roots.

It pulled the box up, opened it, and found a dozen or so gold Yuanbao inside, along with more than twenty silver Yuanbao of varying sizes, and a large pile of copper coins in a cloth bag.

The stacked land deeds were all documents concerning the hilltop they occupied and the surrounding slopes and woodlands.

There were also some jade pendants, silver bracelets, and gold earrings of good quality.

All the jewelry and valuables were stolen from passing merchants and pedestrians.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the mountain stronghold and said, "Apart from the houses, everything else is pretty bad."

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said, "Then let's move these houses back; the rest are fine."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and led the women to the estate.

After settling them in, Zhou Wanwan lay down in the treehouse and fell into a deep sleep.

She was exhausted after that night, and the next morning, as soon as she woke up, the Old Scholar Tree said:

"We secretly checked out the restaurant we visited last night."

It turned out that this restaurant was a swindler and a fraud.

Many people were tricked into going there; even a simple sip of tea cost several taels of silver.

Many people who went in ended up owing the restaurant money. Unable to repay, they were held captive there, some even forced to sell their children.

Zhou Wanwan had never heard of such a restaurant before; it was simply outrageous.

Isn't this just an ancient version of pyramid schemes?

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "Does the local government not care?"

The Old Scholar Tree sighed and said, "Where would any government officials come from here? It's a lawless area, so it's a melting pot of all sorts of people."

Zhou Wanwan snorted and said:

"Nobody's going to do anything about it, huh? Then we'll take charge! This kind of restaurant is definitely not acceptable."

Besides, I got ripped off quite a bit today, so I'm definitely upset."

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said, "They've already taken care of it. Don't worry, it'll be done today."

Zhou Wanwan simply covered herself with the blanket and went to sleep. The next day, just as she was about to go get breakfast, she heard many people on the street saying:

"Yesterday, the Yuelai Inn was emptied out."

The shopkeeper was furious and is now asking the authorities to help them investigate!

"The Yuelai Inn has been completely emptied? That can't be! The Yuelai Inn employs so many thugs, who would dare to empty it?"

"That's right, Yuelai Inn keeps a bunch of people in the world. How can ordinary people dare to touch them?"

The man next to him smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not that everything in the Yuelai Inn was emptied out, it's that the entire Yuelai Inn was moved out."
