Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 109 Kill them all!
Xiao Yishan's hand, which was about to grab the knife, was slapped back as a masked man glared at him angrily.

"Kid, if you don't want to die, you'd better cooperate."

Li Ruru glanced back and saw that Xiao Wu's carriage had stopped not far away.

They were a group of young men and women, mostly teenagers.

On the other side, there were more than a dozen masked men, a disparity in strength.

Her pepper spray and stun gun wouldn't be enough to deal with so many people at once; she'd likely be discovered before she even had a chance to use them.

After thinking it over, for everyone's safety, she chose to spend money to avoid further trouble.

Li Ruru took out a tael of silver and handed it to the burly man in the lead, saying, "Brothers, take this and buy some wine."

The masked man opposite took the money and then looked at the large barrels on the oxcart.

"Leave these buckets here, and you can get out."

Li Ruru and Xiao Yishan both widened their eyes at the same time.

What's wrong with these bandits? They're not robbing money or people, but they want to steal their konjac tofu.

Li Ruru twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Brothers, this bucket just contains some worthless konjac tofu."

She thought they were going to ask her for more money, since a normal person would think that if she could produce a carton of silver, she must still have money on her.

In fact, she did have money in her pocket, but the bandits didn't ask for any more.

"I know, we'll take it," the masked man at the head roared.

Li Ruru rubbed her ears. What did she hear?
He said he knew!
He knew the bucket contained konjac tofu, and that they were planning to steal her konjac tofu.

Everything was absurd and outrageous.

Li Ruru couldn't help but ask, "Why are you all fighting over konjac tofu?"

Are you suggesting we sell them? That's not as practical as just robbing someone.

Suddenly remembering something, she glanced at the carriage behind her.

Normal bandits would rob horse-drawn carriages, since only the wealthy can afford to ride in one.

But these people specifically targeted her oxcart. What does that tell us?
They know her? They came specifically for her?
Li Ruru quickly went through her enemies in her mind.

Are they from the Chen family? They probably don't have that much power.

Are they from Ren Si Niang's family? They wouldn't be stingy enough to spend money hiring these people.

He Dajiao? He's a coward and timid person; he simply couldn't do such a thing.

Zhang Laizi and Granny Hua? Those two aren't that smart.

Who else?
Li Ruru couldn't think of anyone else, so she blinked and asked honestly, "Who sent you?"

There was a dark mass of people on the other side, and no one answered.

"Speak quickly, or I'll gouge your eyes out."

Xiao Wu came running over, cursing and swearing.

Peipei, Chaochao, and Yinyin were stopped by Chu Xiu from getting off the carriage, and they tried to peek through the gaps in the carriage to see what was happening.

The masked man at the head of the group frowned and shouted when he saw Xiao Wu coming this way, "Get out of the way, don't cause trouble, or my knife won't have eyes."

Their target was this oxcart. They had just seen the horse-drawn carriage stop and assumed the people inside would know better than to get off.

I never expected that this foolish old man would actually come all this way to get himself killed.

It's really stupid.

"catch him."

At a command, four or five men surrounded Xiao Wu.

Li Ruru hurriedly said, "Don't hit me, I'll give you..."

Before he could even finish saying he'd pay, two or three of the four or five men were already down. Li Ruru and the others were stunned; Xiao Wu's kung fu was just too amazing.

She had never seen him use his powers before, so she just thought of him as a weak and helpless page.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu unleashed an extremely beautiful side kick, the wind whistling through the air, like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath.

Without pausing for a moment, he immediately twisted his waist and delivered a sharp side kick like a scorpion's tail, his leg drawing a cold arc in the air with unparalleled power.

Before the remaining two or three men could react, they were all knocked to the ground like kites with broken strings, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing the four or five people groaning on the ground, the bandits looked at each other and took a few steps back.

After taking down the men, Xiao Wu ran up to them anxiously and asked, "Godmother, are you alright?"

"It's alright, Yishan is fine too." Li Ruru held his hand and looked at him to make sure he wasn't injured before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Where did you learn your kung fu?

"Hehe, it's just some amateur self-defense skills," Xiao Wu said modestly.

Xiao Yishan's eyes were full of admiration. This was no ordinary skill; it was the work of a master.

He couldn't find a suitable adjective, but he felt that Xiao Wu suddenly looked much taller and more imposing, and he admired him immensely.

"Grab him and chop him up!" The bandit leader, furious at the unexpected turn of events, shouted.

He only wanted to steal the konjac tofu, but now he wants to kill someone.

That brat is despicable; if we don't kill him, the brothers' anger won't be appeased.

The masked men drew their long knives from their waists, their eyes filled with excitement; they hadn't killed anyone in a long time.

"Let's see who's courting death again." Xiao Wu shielded Li Ruru and Xiao Yishan behind him and walked towards the bandits alone.

"Kill!" At the command of the bandit leader, more than a dozen men swung their broadswords and slashed at him.

Xiao Yishan reached for the knife hidden in the oxcart, but it was pinned down by a wooden bucket and he couldn't pull it out for a long time.

He broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Ruru secretly took out a small pistol from her spatial storage and hid it in her sleeve, her mind filled with scenes of shooting and killing people from movies.

She took a deep breath, her heart pounding, and pointed her gun at the bandits.

Xiao Wu was fighting with the bandits. He didn't carry any weapons, but he completely overwhelmed them.

He sprang up and launched a swift attack. His kick was like a taut bowstring released in an instant, carrying immense force as it struck a man's waist.

With a muffled cry of pain, the man flew out sideways like a broken puppet.

Immediately afterwards, he threw a punch that drew a stunning arc in the air, accompanied by a whistling sound, and smashed into several men.

The punch was powerful and fast, striking one of the men precisely in the chest. The immense impact sent the man flying backward several steps before he collapsed to the ground.

The remaining men were startled by the sudden and fierce attack and their steps faltered. Before they could react, Xiao Wu pounced on them like a ghost, using both fists and feet, and knocked them all down amidst screams.

The swift and decisive movements were all completed in an instant, leaving Li Ruru stunned.

The bandits on the ground helped each other to their feet, several of them having had several teeth knocked out.

Their mouths were full of blood, and they were speaking in a slurred manner.

"Kill them all! Kill them all!" The leader's eyes were bloodshot; he had completely forgotten the task his master had given him.

They wouldn't be able to swallow their anger if they didn't kill Li Ruru and the others.

The bandits picked up their broadswords, bent over, and surrounded Xiao Wu, their dozen or so pairs of eyes darting around.

Suddenly, those people started running around Xiao Wu, faster and faster, until they could only see blurry images.

Xiao Wu's eyes were wandering aimlessly; he felt a little dizzy and his steps began to falter.
