Chapter 30 I hate being lied to
Perhaps because she was too engrossed in her thoughts, she was accidentally bumped into by the person next to her.
Yunyi was about to say something when the other person walked straight away. She frowned and turned to follow.
The man who had just bumped into someone didn't expect Yunyi to follow him, so he hurriedly sped up and quickly disappeared into an alley. He glanced back and, finding no one there, smiled and weighed the purse in his hand. This was a fat sheep! But as soon as he looked up, his smile froze.
“That’s my purse.” Yun leaned against the wall and reached out her hand to the man.
The man made a throwing motion with his purse, but then hurriedly turned and ran away. However, he was grabbed by the hair after only two steps.
"It hurts..."
Yunyi, however, kicked the other person, sending them crashing to their knees: "Now? Does it hurt?"
The man knew he had encountered a master, so he knelt with his head tilted back, holding the purse above his head with both hands: "Heroine, please spare my life! I had no choice. I have an eighty-year-old mother to support, a baby crying for milk, and a bedridden wife. Please, heroine, spare my life..."
"That bad?" Yunyi's lips twitched.
"Yes, that's terrible! Please, kind lady, have mercy!"
"Sure, I'm a very soft-hearted person." Yunyi smiled. "But I also hate being lied to. What if you lie to me?"
"If I'm lying to you, may I die a horrible death."
"No, if you're lying to me, I'll chop off your hand, how about that?"
"Okay, thank you very much, heroine." The man nodded hurriedly.
Yunyi took the purse and then let go of it.
As soon as the man gained his freedom, he immediately got up and ran away.
Yunyi curled the corners of her lips and slowly followed him. About fifteen minutes later, the man entered a courtyard.
The three people in the yard saw the man return and couldn't help but come over: "Brother, how was the harvest today?"
"Don't even mention it," Shen Hu waved his hand. "I ran into some trouble today."
"Ok?"
"A woman went to the clinic and bought a Ganoderma lucidum, earning over a hundred taels of silver." Shen Hu clicked his tongue. "What a pity." Then he shrugged.
"Seriously? You can't even handle a woman?"
"Is it because the older brother thinks the woman is pretty but can't bring himself to make a move?"
"Yeah, haha, Tiger, you're missing a wife, aren't you? If she's suitable, bring her back to be our sister-in-law, and then have a baby, so that our Shen family line doesn't end."
"Go away." Shen Hu glared at the group. "What are you all thinking? That woman is formidable. I was only able to come back because I was quick-witted."
The group fell silent, clearly believing the man; after all, their eldest brother never lied.
"If you ever meet a woman who is quite pretty, with fair skin that seems to glow... and who has a red birthmark here, stay away from her." Shen Hu described Yun Yi's appearance.
Yunyi raised her hand and touched her forehead. She had been here for several days, but she hadn't really looked at her body closely. Of course, the most important reason was that there was no mirror at home.
In this era, there was no glass, only bronze mirrors, which were quite expensive and didn't reflect the image clearly. Of course, there were some that reflected the image clearly, but they were ridiculously expensive, and were basically only affordable for the daughters and wives of high-ranking officials and nobles.
The women in the village mostly lie down in the water vat or go to the river to use the water's surface as a mirror.
She's washed her face and taken a shower these past few days, but she just couldn't remember to look at her face.
The other three nodded hastily. In their line of work, what they feared most was encountering a master, because not only would they gain nothing, but they might even suffer a setback.
"Alright, that's enough for today. It's getting late, let's find somewhere to have some fun." Shen Hu patted the group on the shoulder. "We'll continue tomorrow."
The group burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Hey," Yunyi called from the rooftop, "Is this your eighty-year-old mother, your crying baby, and your bedridden wife?"
"Who?" The group was startled and hurriedly looked around, especially Shen Hu, whose face changed color.
"Here it is." Yunyi threw a small stone from the roof and hit Shen Hu on the head.
Shen Hu hurriedly took a few steps outside, looked up, and his face changed: "You..."
Yunyi jumped down from the roof: "What did you just say? I said I hate being lied to the most, and you..."
Shen Hu swallowed hard, unsure how to retort, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. In this Carp Town, no one had ever been able to threaten him, yet this woman was relentlessly pressing him.
The other three men, upon seeing Yunyi, immediately thought of what Shen Hu had just said: "Brother, is this the woman you were talking about?"
Shen Hu nodded.
“Hey little girl,” the third brother, Shen Bao, stepped forward with a grin, “you’re quite pretty. Why don’t you come and be our sister-in-law? Our eldest brother is pretty powerful.”
The others laughed along, and the second brother, Shen Long, even winked at Yun Yi: "That's right, little sister, you won't suffer if you follow our eldest brother, or you can be a wife to all of us brothers, we'd all be willing, we guarantee you'll be satisfied every night, haha... ah!"
Before Shen Long could finish laughing, he suddenly screamed and covered his mouth, unable to speak for a long time, but blood dripped down.
“You…” The other three brothers’ expressions immediately changed.
"Your mouth stinks." Yun Yi jumped down from the roof, and before anyone could react, her grappling hook had already shot out, the rope wrapping around Shen Hu's neck. Then, with a jerk, she slammed him against the wall. "Still spouting nonsense?"
The others subconsciously swallowed. Although they believed Shen Hu's serious words, they didn't really think a woman could be that powerful. This was why Shen Long was so outspoken. But now they realized that this woman wasn't just powerful, she was terrifying.
If she wanted to kill them, they could have been reincarnated by now.
"Heroine, spare our lives!" The fourth brother, Shen Ying, reacted the fastest and immediately knelt down. "We brothers have no choice but to make a living. Please, heroine, spare our eldest and second brothers."
Although the second and third brothers were unwilling, they hurriedly knelt down as well.
"Don't make it sound so pitiful." Yun Yi scoffed. "Many people may not even have a place to live, but you have a courtyard. This courtyard is in a prime location in town, and it can be sold for at least two hundred taels of silver. Even if you rent it, it will cost two taels of silver a month."
The brothers fell silent.
"You're stealing from ordinary people; they're the ones who have the hardest lives." Yunyi glanced at Shen Hu, whose face had turned purple. "Tell me, which hand do you want crippled?"
