Chapter 331 The situation is tense
Chapter 331 The situation is tense
In the small room, the air seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere oppressed everyone like a substance. The bandits surrounded Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan like a pack of hungry wolves, with their eyes flashing with complex lights of curiosity, teasing, or sympathy.
Lin Ruoxue held Xiaoxuan tightly behind her. She could clearly feel Xiaoxuan's violent heartbeat and trembling body. She gently patted Xiaoxuan's back and whispered in her ear: "Xiaoxuan, don't be afraid, Master will find a way." However, her heart was like a storm. Her eyes quickly swept over the bandits, and her brain was working rapidly, thinking about ways to escape.
The bandit leader crossed his arms over his chest, with a smug smile on his face, as if he had won the battle. "Little girl, don't struggle. Follow me, and I guarantee you will have good food and good drinks." His arrogant voice echoed in the room, and the greed and desire in his eyes were not concealed at all.
Lin Ruoxue gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You shameless man, I would rather die than obey you." Her eyes were firm and resolute, like a sharp sword, piercing straight at the bandit leader.
Xiaoxuan poked her head out from behind Lin Ruoxue and said in a crying voice, "You bad guys, let us go." Although her voice was childish, it was full of courage.
The bandits around began to whisper.
"This girl has quite a temper." A bandit whispered.
"How can someone the boss likes run away?" another bandit echoed, letting out a malicious laugh.
But some bandits showed expressions of reluctance. They lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to look directly into Lin Ruoxue's eyes.
Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She looked around and found that although the windows were blocked by wooden bars, they seemed to be loose. She thought that she might be able to break through from there. But she knew that she had to distract the bandits first.
"Aren't you afraid that the government will come and wipe you out by doing this?" Lin Ruoxue said loudly, her voice echoing in the room.
The bandit leader sneered: "Government? They can't find this place. Even if they come, we are not afraid." He waved the knife in his hand, and the blade flashed coldly in the dim light.
Lin Ruoxue's heart sank, but she did not give up. She continued, "If you let us go, I can treat your injuries and give you some money so that you can escape." She tried to tempt the bandits with benefits to buy time for herself.
The bandit leader was slightly stunned, and seemed to be a little tempted. But soon, he shook his head and said, "Young lady, don't try to play tricks on me. I won't be fooled by you."
At this moment, Xiaoxuan suddenly broke free from Lin Ruoxue's hand and rushed towards a bandit, trying to snatch the knife from his hand. "I will fight you!" Xiaoxuan shouted.
Lin Ruoxue was horrified and quickly shouted, "Xiaoxuan, come back!"
The bandits were startled by Xiaoxuan's actions and panicked for a moment. Lin Ruoxue took the opportunity to rush to the window and pulled hard on the wooden bars. The bandit leader discovered her intention and shouted, "Catch her!"
Several bandits immediately rushed towards Lin Ruoxue. Lin Ruoxue was extremely anxious. She used all her strength and finally broke a wooden stick. But at this time, the bandits were about to catch her.
"Master!" Xiaoxuan shouted in horror.
Lin Ruoxue didn't care about much. She picked up a broken wooden stick and waved it at the bandits, trying to stop them. The room was in chaos and the two sides were in a stalemate. Lin Ruoxue knew that she had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Her eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, ready to fight the bandits to the death.
