Chapter 637: Chapter 280 Critical
This is really tone-deaf!
Others dressed so lightly in the middle of the night, and you pretend not to see when you’ve seen it. And when they come to you, you actually close the window?
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun glance at each other, both feeling a mix of laughter and tears.
Hu Sandao, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Once the window was closed, he turned over and lay down.
But the next moment, he suddenly hesitated.
Could Xiulan be acting this way in the middle of the night for another reason?
Just as the thought crossed his mind, he heard suppressed sobs coming from outside the window.
The sounds seeped into Hu Sandao’s ears thread by thread, and he could no longer lie down.
Feeling uncomfortable, he pulled back the bedding and slightly pushed the window open.
Looking outside, he saw Xiulan sobbing, her face full of delicate helplessness.
Although Hu Sandao aspired to become the Mountain Bandit King, crossing the Green Forest Road to carve out his own world, deep down he was still of a chivalrous nature.
Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice:
“Umm… Young lady, why are you crying? It’s late at night, it’s not good for people to hear this.”
“Big brother, my life is so miserable.”
Xiulan looked up at Hu Sandao: “Can… can you talk with me?”
“…”
What kind of request is that?
Hu Sandao didn’t even know how to refuse.
Xiulan, however, took his silence as consent and immediately got up. Using the crack that Hu Sandao opened in the window, she lifted herself into the room by the window sill.
Hu Sandao was dumbfounded.
It’s the middle of the night, and now there’s a woman in his bed?
How could he possibly explain that?
Especially since she is the wife of the householder here. What would happen if Qi Dashan came out from the room and saw this?
Hu Sandao’s mind was in total chaos for a moment, and he didn’t even notice that Xiulan had come in and closed the window behind her.
By the time Hu Sandao came to his senses, Xiulan was already sitting on one side of the bed, and he on the other.
“…This, young lady, is this really appropriate?”
Although Hu Sandao had aspired to become a Mountain Bandit King for the first half of his life, deep down he was still of a chivalrous nature.
This whole scene just didn’t look right.
He subconsciously wanted to get off the bed, but just as he was about to move, Xiulan quickly said:
“Big brother… don’t go. Let’s just talk on the bed, you on that end and me on this end. We won’t touch each other.
“If we talk outside, it would look bad if my husband’s family saw. If you go out now, making noise, that would also be difficult… Whether going out through the window or the front door, it could lead to my death.”
“…”
That really put Hu Sandao in a spot, truly unsure of what to do.
He glanced at Xiulan, and seeing her attire only added to his overall discomfort:
“This… young lady… don’t you want to wear more clothes?”
“Big brother talking nonsense.”
Xiulan couldn’t help but laugh: “Where would I have my clothes here?”
“…”
That’s also true…
Hu Sandao had no choice but to lean back a bit more, pressing tightly against the wall: “Then… what did you want to say?”
“Just to talk casually.”
As Xiulan spoke, her eyes reddened again:
“Big brother, let me tell you, my life is really not good.
“Actually, I’m not from this village.
“My family used to be well-off, and I was well-educated since young.
“But unexpectedly, during a family visit, I was attacked by mountain bandits en route…
“They murdered and robbed, committing all kinds of evil, and I… I just like that, was captured by them and taken to the mountains.”
“That’s outrageous!”
Hu Sandao immediately felt a surge of righteous indignation: “Robbery is one thing, but how could they kill without scruples? The reputation of our Green Forest Road has been harmed by these unruly scoundrels.”
“???”
Xiulan was genuinely engaged and somewhat confused by his reaction.
“Keep talking.”
Hu Sandao was quite eager now and gestured with his hand for Xiulan to continue.
Xiulan nodded slightly, gathering her thoughts before continuing:
“Those people took me to the mountains, and that night, their leader… forced himself on me.
“After that, I became his seventh concubine.
“Although I had food and drink, the daily life was simply unbearable.
“Moreover, many of his men in the mountains looked at me with ill intentions…
“Eventually, I thought of a way to escape from the mountains.
“It was on a day when everyone in their stronghold was drunk, which gave me the chance.”
When she reached this point in her story, Hu Sandao had a solemn expression: “Wait, young lady, do you smell something? It seems like a fragrant scent…”
“Big brother… are you possibly smelling… my body fragrance?”
Xiulan blushed.
“Forget I mentioned it.”
Hu Sandao quickly waved it off, then asked: “What happened after?”
“After that, I made my way to Tihu Village.
“I fainted in a forest and was rescued by the current Family Head.
“Being alone and without support, and since he saved my life,
“I could only repay him with my body… Though he is much older than me, he… he seems to be incapable in certain matters…”
As she spoke, Xiulan looked at Hu Sandao with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Hu Sandao was about to speak but was momentarily lost in thought.
