Wufu was out running errands for someone this time, and not only did she get the errand fee, but she also unexpectedly won gambling money from the events that had unfolded.
However, that wasn’t what mattered most; what was crucial was that she acquired a raw stone to practice her craftsmanship.
Therefore, Wufu’s footsteps were even lighter on her way back home.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to purchase some handy tools to ensure she hadn’t anything missing when it came time to carve.
Carrying a bamboo basket on her back, filled with odds and ends and the food supplies she had bought, she had a cloth bag hanging at her waist.
Inside that bag was the raw stone given to her by Old Man Shen, bouncing along as she walked.
Halfway home, Wufu suddenly felt that something was amiss.
Someone was following her!
With a twitch of her eyebrow and a slight squint of her eyes, she kept her face expressionless and suddenly started to run forward.
Someone behind her also ran after her swiftly.
Wufu abruptly stopped, whipping around.
Indeed, not far behind her, two ruffian-looking men were running towards her.
Caught off-guard by her sudden halt, they couldn’t stop in time, and one of them, due to inertia, even fell to the ground, quickly getting up again.
“What are you following me for?” Wufu asked coldly, her hand under her sleeve already gripping the handle of the carving knife she had purchased, while her peripheral vision scanned the surroundings.
By now, it was late afternoon nearing dusk; on either side of the road was dense forest, and on this official road, aside from her and these two men, there was not a fourth soul in sight.
Hmm, it wasn’t that she had a particularly low opinion of people; rather, the current environment was truly— an excellent place for murder and robbery!
Two men against one woman, it was obvious at a glance who was the stronger party; they could easily grab this defenseless woman, drag her into the dense forest, and do whatever they pleased.
Afterwards, dig a hole, bury her on the spot and who would know?
Why would they even need a moonless and windy night for cover?
Wufu imagined that scene in her head and had to admit to herself that indeed, this was a prime spot to make a move!
Upon hearing her speak, the two men exchanged a glance, a sinister smile creeping onto their lips as they approached step by step.
“What do we want?
We just want to play with the lady, and incidentally…” One of the men glanced at the pouch at her waist, his eyes revealing strong greed, “Incidentally, we’d like to borrow some money from the lady.”
They had clearly seen that not only did this girl have silver on her, but she also carried a large piece of jade.
If they could snatch this prize, they’d be dining on the finest foods and cuddling with the top courtesan at the Wanhua Building for a couple of days.
“That’s right.
If the lady merely obeys, we two brothers guarantee you’ll feel ecstatic, as if you’re floating on clouds.” The other man too was staring at Wufu with avaricious eyes.
Not bad at all, this young woman.
On closer look, she’s no worse than the girls from the Flower Tower!
Today truly was Brother Hu’s lucky day.
Upon hearing this, Wufu raised an eyebrow and smiled, “So you’re saying, you’ve come to rob me?
Not just my wealth, but also for lust?”
“That’s right.
If you’re sensible and come with us, you can suffer less,” the two men chuckled heinously, licking their dry lips as they moved closer.
How thrilling it would be for the brothers to play with such a tender young woman together!
Wufu let out an ‘Oh’ sound, lowered her eyelids, and said, “If I were to tell you to be sensible and leave, I suppose it would be a waste of breath?”
The brothers burst out laughing at Wufu’s words and lunged at her.
“In that case, I won’t hold back either!” Wufu lifted her head, smiling with a playful curl of her lips, and with a push of her toes, she too dashed towards them.
