Waiting for the weather to be a bit cooler, Cheng Nuo followed Liu Guang and the three other little children carrying bamboo baskets to the market early in the morning. The bamboo basket carried by Liu Guang mostly contained herbal medicine by old Ge and the skins of wild animals that were recently hunted by Liu Guang, as well as water and rations.

The other children were carrying valuable things that they picked up from the garbage dump such as energy ores and life tools lost by the n.o.bles. They also had fungi that they had gathered from the mountains and other similar items.

During the journey the would have to traverse two mountains and they would have to spend the night in the wild. Liu Guang didn"t want Cheng Nuo to follow him. In his eyes, females were all in need of care. They have no strength so all they would do was hinder the group"s travel speed. Cheng Nuo looked at the child"s sideways look at him and knew what he was thinking. He couldn"t help but pull his ear and say, "If you don"t let me go, I"ll go by myself."

Though the two of them were already used to each other"s ways, Liu Guang still jumped. He covered his ears and said: "Don"t pull my ears! D***ed-"

He saw Cheng Nuo giving him a look and swallowed the word "female."

Cheng Nuo was scary when he was mad. Especially when he was teaching, his fierceness made Liu Guang feel scared sometimes. He was also afraid that his future wife would be deceived by another male when he was alone at home. In the end, he decided to let Cheng Nuo go with them but he made sure that Cheng Nuo"s bamboo basket contained herbal medicine.

Along the way, they pa.s.sed by Bai Rui"s house. Cheng Nuo glanced at it curiously. The door was still closed.

He had been in this world for almost half a month. He saw Bai Rui twice and each time he was alone. It seemed that Bai Rui had no friends here. Bai Rui didn"t look at anyone and the expression on his face was always one of indifference.

Cheng Nuo thought that the best thing about transmigrating into this world was that his physical condition seemed to have improved. Not only is he a lot stronger, his vision and hearing are also a lot better. The children walked quite fast for about two hours but didn"t feel tired at all.

The other children didn"t know that Cheng Nuo was a "female" but Liu Guang remembered that he couldn"t let his future married women become too tired. He stopped and said, "We"ll rest for a while, eat something, then continue."

Everyone stopped and Cao Tou began untie his pants on the side of the road. Liu Guang got mad and threw a stone at him. He yelled, "Go away to pee!"

They were used to doing this. What was this about? Although Cao Tou was puzzled, he still ran away holding his pants.

Cheng Nuo also needed to relieve himself. He spoke to Liu Guang who told him to go to the other side of the woods. Liu Guang pointed at a tall tree about 10 meters away and said: "Don"t go too far. Just do it behind that tree."

Liu Guang still felt uneasy and wanted to follow but Cheng Nuo slapped him upside the head with a smile so all he could do was watch him leave.

Cheng Nuo walked to the tree, humming a little song, and pulling out his thing. All this time the only people he saw were dirty males. Sometimes he really felt depressed. Traveling away from the town made him feel more cheerful.

He shook his thing dry and pulled his pants back up. He hadn"t turned around yet when he was slammed back and a hard and cold thing touched his chest. A hoa.r.s.e voice said: "Kid, don"t shout or grandfather"s knife will stab you."

Cheng Nuo was surprised. Had he unexpectedly run into a kidnapper? Fortunately, Cheng Nuo had to his back to that evil person before so he shouldn"t have seen his body.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself, slowly turning away, hiding the fear and panic in his eyes and making himself appear calm and harmless.

If you encounter a robber, too much fear and tension will make the other person more nervous.

The man with a knife was about thirty years old, tall and like a bamboo pole. He was standing next to a short man who was holding a pair of heavy maces in his hand.

(TN: 锏 - "jian" mace. It"s an ancient weapon, pair of blunt rods with handles.)

Liu Guang said that there were a lot of thieves in this area. Cheng Nuo actually met one! But his tattered clothes made him look very poor. What kind of robber was this?

The short man quickly walked over to them and slowly moved his hands over Cheng Nuo"s body. At first, Cheng Nuo let him search but then his expression changed as he was touched and pinched. It was like… s.e.xual hara.s.sment!

The man the a knife said: "Zhu Liu, are you indulging in your cheap habit again?"

Zhu Liu laughed and said: "Brother Wu, you don"t know it, but such a young male b.u.t.t isn"t worse than a female"s. Look at him, isn"t he good looking? Try it and you"ll get addicted to the feeling. That redhead there looks good, too. I"ll take him then you can have him later."

When Cheng Nuo heard this, his whole body felt cold. This kind of desire for children … these men are worse than beasts! He really wanted to kick this Zhu Liu but he knew that his young boy"s body was too weak to fight adult men with weapons. He tried to endure it.

Shang Wu said scornfully: "I have no interest in a male"s b.u.t.tocks. Kill him after you play with him. I see that the animal hides and herbal medicine in the red-haired kid"s basket are worth a little money and his qualification seem good. You can take him up the mountain since the leader needs errand boys."

When he spoke, his sharp, beady eyes stared at Cheng Nuo, as if he was ready to stab Cheng Nuo if he shouted. Cold sweat poured down Cheng Nuo"s back. Compared to these people, Liu Guang"s methods were really childlike.

Zhu Liu sighed: "You"re really boring. The females on the mountain are too old and look ugly. I didn"t touch them. You don"t know that males are also fun."

Liu Guang was getting impatient. He shouted, "Cheng Nuo, are you all right?"

Cheng Nuo looked at the knife on his chest and sighed. He knew that Liu Guang had a bit of skill, but in front of these two bandits are armed with weapons who might be strong … after all, Liu Guang was only a ten-year-old child …

Shang Wu tapped him in the chest with the knife, his face gloomy, and said: "Say something, tell him to come."

Cheng Nuo shouted as calmly as possible: "Come quick, I forgot to bring toilet paper. Little Guang, bring me some."

He hoped that Liu Guang would be able to perceive that something was wrong and run away with the children. He never called him "Little Guang" and the other person couldn"t bring him any toilet paper.

Liu Guang could run faster than a rabbit. The two men probably wouldn"t be able to catch him.

As for him, he would fight. Even if he died, he must take these two with him to the grave, especially that Zhu Liu!

You want to burst my chrysanthemum?! This one will chop off your bird first!

Cheng Nuo ground his teeth.

Who knew that Liu Guang would come over, muttering, "How troublesome, can"t you just wipe it off with a stone?"

Cheng Nuo almost fainted.

Liu Guang saw two people walk out from behind the tree. He was obviously shocked and a little confused. Zhu Liu put his weapons at Liu Guang"s neck and said, "Don"t move or you"ll die by my mace."

Zhu Liu forced Liu Guang to stand next to Cheng Nuo. He was even more satisfied now. The red-haired child looked better than the dark-haired one but he is too young. He estimated that if he played with the child a few times, the kid would get done to death. It"s better to play with the black-haired one. Zhu Liu smiled and said: "Well, Brother Wu, let me play with the bigger one …"

Cheng Nuo was angry to the extreme. He noticed that Liu Guang was stretching his hand out so Cheng Nuo shook his hands several times, indicating that Liu Guang shouldn"t be afraid. Shang Wu said that they would take him with them to be an errand boy, therefore Liu Guang should be safe.

Shang Wu looked at Zhu Liu leering at the boys then laughed, "Please don"t do something perverted now. We should wait until we"ve finished the others …"

Zhu Liu cursed and turned his head, "What about the others?"

Suddenly, Liu Guang kicked Zhu Liu"s wrist that was holding the knife. Then Liu Guang rammed into Zhu Liu, knocking him back a few steps.

Cheng Nuo was too shocked to respond. Liu Guang grabbed him and dragged him to the side.

Shang Wu"s eyes widened. He wasn"t angry and even smiled a bit. Sure enough, he had an eye for talent. The red-haired boy was quite skilled and he was also very brave. He sheathed his knife and quickly gave chase.

The booty he already had in his hands got away. Zhu Liu was angry enough to jump a couple of feet high. He also put his maces away and gave chase. He decided that he would peel off the red-haired boy"s skin first then f.u.c.k the dark-haired boy.

They had only run a few meters away when a big rope net suddenly appeared in front of Shang Wu. Cao Tou and the other three had been hiding behind a tree and suddenly pulled the net up. Shang Wu was suspended in mid-air. Shang Wu responded very quickly and immediately took out a long knife to try to cut the rope. But would Liu Guang just let him do that? Liu Guang grabbed a stone the size of a washbasin and struck Shang Wu"s head with it. Cao Tou and the others others also ran out with sticks and hit the trapped Shang Wu.

Zhu Liu was shocked at what happened but he wasn"t afraid of these children. He ran forward, shouting. Liu Guang drew back his leg and then kicked out, aiming at Zhu Liu"s neck. He was very strong. His kick actually landed and Zhu Liu fell to the ground, his weapons dropping from his hands.

Liu Guang narrowed his eyes and smirked at Zhu Liu. His blue eyes flashed with menace.

Cheng Nuo didn"t have time to react to the sudden changes in his circ.u.mstances and just stood there, stunned.

Zhu Liu tried to get up but Liu Guang stepped on his hand. The bandit screamed but Liu Guang simply look at him with an indifferent expression on his face and put a bit more strength on his foot. Death is the fate that awaits those who dare to mess with him! He is Liu Guang, the infamous gang leader!

Shang Wu had been beaten up by the kids until blood flowed down from his forehead. It wasn"t clear whether he was alive or dead. Chang Chun picked up the pair of maces and handed them to Liu Guang: "Big brother Guang, here."

These children are older than Liu Guang but they always call respectfully call Liu Guang "Big brother Guang." Cheng Nuo used to think that this was very funny whenever he heard it but now he can"t laugh anymore. Liu Guang"s strange and fierce expression frightened him.

It"s not just Liu Guang. Even Cao Tou, who usually seemed weak and shy, was looking expectantly at Liu Guang with shining eyes, obviously looking forward to his next performance.

Cheng Nuo realized that although he thought he had adapted to this world, he was still far from truly accepting it.

The weapons were very heavy but Liu Guang wielded them effortlessly.

He raised the maces high then slammed them on Zhu Liu"s back. He stepped on Zhu Liu"s back and smirked, saying: "Who did you say you were going to play with?"
