Chapter 140: Aftermath Handling

  "What... what have you done to me? What is this thing on my head?! What are you going to do?! Kill me, kill me quickly!"

  Just as Wu Yeru thought Wang Li's memories were worthless, this bandit leader suddenly woke up and found that not only had his limbs disappeared, but he was also in excruciating pain emanating from those areas. Moreover, there was a strange metal headgear on his head, emitting a dazzling light. A sense of terror surged up, and his gaze at Wu Yeru became desperate and helpless.

  "Hey, you're awake? Hehehe~ Don't worry! Killing you is only a matter of time, but before that, I want to see all the secrets in your brain. Who would have thought? You, a bandit leader, actually had such an extraordinary experience, jumping off a cliff and obtaining a legacy inheritance. Unfortunately, your talent is dull, and your evil deeds are numerous, so you're probably not worthy of enjoying it." Wu Ye Yu said with a smirk, looking at Wang Li on the ground.

  He picked up the secret book placed aside and waved it in front of him, continuing to say: "Now I've obtained the secrets of 'Zhengyang Huixuan' from your mind, you don't have to worry about this peerless technique disappearing from the world, it's also a fulfillment of your previous wish, hehehe~ no need to thank me, it's what I should do. Take another look at the scenery of this world, because you won't be able to see it again soon."

  "You! You... can't be! How did you take things out of my mind! You must be cheating me! The Zhengyang Huiguang Shield is mine! That inheritance is also mine! No one else can take it away! Ah~!! I curse you! I curse you for this life..."

  Ma Fei Wang Li suddenly saw the familiar secret book in front of him, and his spirit instantly fell into madness, shouting loudly in disbelief. Fortunately, he was still able to shout so loudly despite being crippled, but later on, Wu Ye Yu heard that he even wanted to curse himself, rolled her eyes, waved her small hand, and an ice knife appeared out of thin air, swiftly slashing across Wang Li's neck, as if understanding the evil of his life...

  "In the next life, don't forget to be a good person, or else I, Young Master, won't let you off!" Wu Ye Yu picked up Ma Fei's head, looked at his unblinking eyes and said, then took out a black box and put the head inside.

  "Should I save the people or take the bandits' treasure first? Hmm, it's not far anyway, just a matter of minutes. I'll take the treasure first!" Wu Yeyu weighed his options in his mind and thought that with the map and the layout of the traps, taking the treasure would be as easy as taking something from his pocket. "Besides, there are so many women and children in the stone prison, it's not like they can just walk out of this mountain. I'll have to go get some horse carriages."

  Fortunately, the horse thieves' grazing land was not in the valley, otherwise they would have been crushed to death long ago. The horses were grazed on a relatively open grassland nearby, with dozens of people who understood horse breeding techniques taking care of them. These people were mostly very old and were also robbed by the horse thieves from various villages, but compared to those in the stone prison, their treatment was not bad, they had horses as companions and could occasionally take a walk.

  Less than half a time, Wu Yeru led the batch of horse breeders back to the valley with a large number of horses and cargo vehicles. Along the way, they solved more than a dozen hooligans who were rushing to the valley, presumably because they heard the loud explosion in the valley and came to check it out.

  The treasure of the bandits has also been taken, and Wu Yeru, who had no hope from the beginning, indeed had a foresight. The so-called treasure was just some jade utensils, gold and silver treasures, and several boxes of money, worth only around tens of millions. There were also a few ancient paintings and calligraphy, famous swords and other things, but for Wu Yeru, they were not very valuable.

  "Damn it! After more than a decade of looting, this is all you've got? You should at least have some precious stones or something. It's not like I'm here to make money!" Wu Yeyu cursed silently in his heart as he quickly led the group of stablehands into the stone prison, preparing to free the children and women inside. Previously, whether it was to retrieve treasure or bring these stablehands here, he had always worn a disguise on his face, fortunately without revealing his true identity.

  "Hmm! The little girl locked up with me in the same cell is quite a handful. With her cleverness, I reckon it's not easy to deceive her even with a fabricated story. Sigh... Looks like I'll have to waste some energy again. Didn't think this through earlier." Wu Ye Yu shook his head and smiled wryly, then flipped his hand and produced a black rod-shaped object, neither long nor thick, slightly larger than his palm. At the tip was an old-fashioned flashlight, which was actually the memory-erasing artifact from the black-clad men.

  ……

  Three days later, Wu Ye Yu finally led the large group of burdens out of the mountains, although they had a map of the mountain roads with the horse bandits' markings, but the actual journey was completely different from what they had imagined from looking at the map. Not only did the route twist and turn repeatedly, but also the horse carriage would occasionally get lost or stuck, or the horses would fall and be unable to move, and the wheels would break and need to be repaired.

  Wu Ye Yu, adhering to the principle of not giving up, would directly stop the entire convoy whenever such troubles arose and go back along the original route to search. Fortunately, his storage space had a large batch of food and fruit, which could withstand the long-term consumption of the crowd. The women and children's mental state had also recovered by this time, and since things were already like this, there was nothing to complain about. In the end, they finally managed to drag themselves out of the mountains.

  "Ah! It's over there! I remember that place, my home is not far from here!" A child exclaimed at this time, scratching the car window and pointing to the gradually flattening road surface outside, instantly attracting a group of people in the car to come and see.

  "It's true, we're already outside the big mountains, we've finally made it out, wooo~"

  "Wooh! I thought I'd never be able to go home again in this lifetime."

  ……

  The scenery evoked emotions, and most people in the car team were also crying. Wu Yeyu didn't have the heart to care about these things, let them cry if they want to. In his heart, he felt that venting out was better than bottling it up inside. After all, there's still a long way to go in the future.

  "Thank you, sir! Thank you for saving me! Your kindness is as great as that of my parents! Xiao Ling'er thanks you here for your great kindness!" Just as Wu Ye Yu was staring blankly ahead, he heard a very young and tender female voice coming from beside him. He turned his head to look, and Wu Ye Yu subconsciously rubbed his nose.

  The owner of the voice was the little girl who was locked in the same cell as herself, and at this moment, a girl named Xiao Ling'er was kneeling on her knees in the carriage, saluting Wu Ye Yu with a courtesy.

  Wu Ye Yu calmly helped him up, and in the past few days, he had often done such things with ease. Almost everyone in the convoy had also knelt before him, and he was already used to it.

  "No big deal, it's only natural for us to help those in need. It just so happens that we were able to save you this time." Wu Ye Yu casually replied with a few words, clearly not wanting to get entangled with the little girl in front of him. Although he had used a memory eraser on her earlier, it wasn't entirely reliable - it seemed that if she suffered a severe head impact or intense shaking, there was still a chance she might recover her memories... which was somewhat unsettling.

  "You saved me, after all, you have great kindness towards me. Since Ling'er doesn't have anything valuable on her, she can only kneel down to thank you, and hopes that you won't despise her!" After saying this, Xiao Ling'er actually knelt down again.

  "Alright, alright, I accept. You can get up now, it looks awkward with you kneeling." Wu Yeru picked her up and sat her in the car, saying.

  "I don't know if you'll have time later, but Ling'er's family is a wealthy one in the town. This time, we're really grateful for your help, and Ling'er hopes that when you have time, you can come to our house to stay for a few days, so I can thank you properly for your great kindness!" The little girl seemed unwilling to end there and continued speaking.

  "No time! I came out this time to take care of some business, and on the way, I encountered a group of horse bandits who were escorting many women and children. That's when I quietly followed them and eventually rescued you all. My original task is not yet complete, and I need to continue on my journey. The horse bandits have already been taken care of by me, so this area should be much more peaceful now. I will send you all to a nearby village, and then I will leave." Wu Ye Yu said with his eyes fixed on the front, seeming somewhat distracted.

  "I see, since Master Wu has important matters to attend to, Ling'er's request was indeed a bit excessive. I hope Master Wu will have a smooth journey and successfully complete his tasks." The little girl said softly with a hint of disappointment after hearing Wu Ye Yu's words.

  "Ah..." Seeing that the servant girl beside her didn't ask further, Wu Yeru secretly let out a sigh of relief.
