Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 696 - 649: Turning the Tables (1)

The other two were just momentarily stunned, and then they were attacked from behind.

Baili Rui’s stick came into play again.

The dagger at the tip of the stick stabbed into these two men’s thighs, and likewise, they fell to the ground, unable to get up.

The other few people fighting against Mu Yuanxiu suddenly froze in shock as they saw their companions inexplicably falling one by one.

What’s going on?

"Still want to fight?" Mu Yuanxiu waved the torch towards the remaining few, asking coldly.

"You little brat, how dare you use poison? If you’ve got the guts, fight one-on-one!" A man, having figured out their tactic, yelled defiantly, "And don’t let your leopard join in!"

Li Yuzhu looked left and right, reminding, "Yuanxiu, they’re trying to provoke you, don’t fall for it!"

Are you kidding? If it were one-on-one, she and Mu Yuanxiu would definitely lose!

What Baili Rui knows is only comparable to the bear kids from the village.

And she only knows sneak attacks; in a head-on fight, she couldn’t win against anyone.

Zhou Zhaodi is more useless than her.

Oh, there’s also Guoguo, not even worth mentioning.

Their best fighter is the leopard!

But these crafty guys wouldn’t allow the leopard to join the fight.

Mu Yuanxiu, however, smiled at her gently, "Don’t worry about me."

He brandished his whip, gesturing at the four people, "Fine, the leopard won’t join, but how long is this one-on-one supposed to last? It’s getting dark, we need to rest, why don’t you all come at once, and we can be done and go to sleep."

Li Yuzhu’s eyes widened, all at once?

Is Mu Yuanxiu crazy?

"Yuanxiu?" Li Yuzhu was worried about him.

Mu Yuanxiu waved her off and asked the four again, "Come on, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can sleep."

The four exchanged glances, was this the fearlessness of a rookie?

Daring to face four at once?

They feared the leopard but not this kid!

The four charged at Mu Yuanxiu with cold sneers.

"Uncle, hit them! Hit them hard!" Guoguo shouted loudly from behind Li Yuzhu.

Baili Rui glanced at her and shouted as well, "Uncle, beat them up!"

The two little kids cheered Mu Yuanxiu on, clapping happily and jumping, "Uncle, hit hard, Uncle, beat them up!"

Mu Yuanxiu, unhurried, waited until the four were close, then swung his whip quickly.

The force in his hand was immense, with just one lash, he knocked two people to the ground together.

The other two were momentarily stunned, receiving punches from his other hand, the last one, realizing the unfavorable situation, raised his knife to cut, but Mu Yuanxiu swiftly kicked the knife away.

This person was completely at a disadvantage.

Guoguo and Baili Rui clapped and laughed together, "Uncle, you’re awesome!"

Mu Yuanxiu laughed, "I’ll show you something even more awesome."

He put away the whip, piled that person onto the others, and started punching.

The punches fell like raindrops, all four of them receiving a perfectly fair beating, one after another.

The screams came one after another, leaving no one out.

"Want to fight any more?" Mu Yuanxiu asked after each punch.

"No, no more."

"Can I go to sleep now?" Mu Yuanxiu gave each of them another punch.

No nonsense, if they didn’t let him sleep, wouldn’t he just keep beating them? Wouldn’t they eventually get beaten to death? They cursed in their hearts while begging for mercy, "Good man, good brother, please spare us, we can’t beat you."

Mu Yuanxiu stood up and kicked each one of them, "Then get lost!"

He dusted his sleeves and walked back to Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu looked at his hands with concern, "Did your hands hurt from all that punching?"

The few people cursed in their hearts, if you know it hurts, then don’t punch them; their bodies are aching!

"It’s fine, I can throw another hundred punches." Mu Yuanxiu massaged his wrist joints.

Li Yuzhu twitched the corner of her lips, smiled coyly, "Don’t overdo it, I’ll apply some liniment oil on your hands."

The scoundrels lying on the ground, unable to get up, lamented in their hearts, if he can still throw a hundred punches, would they still have a chance to live?

"Are you still not leaving? Want to throw a few more punches?" Mu Yuanxiu turned around and found them still groaning on the ground, and asked coldly.

A few people were scared to death, gritted their teeth, helped each other up from the ground, and turned to run, oh wait, just turned to walk away.

Running was impossible.

After taking a few steps, they heard Mu Yuanxiu say again, "Come back! Take all your companions away!"

Except for the thin-faced man being bitten on the thigh by the leopard, there were eight people knocked out by Li Yuzhu and Baili Rui’s anesthetic needles, all of them fell into a deep sleep.

On a freezing night like this, sleeping in the snow for an hour would definitely freeze to death.

The four looked at each other, one dragged two, and walked back with difficulty.

Mu Yuanxiu snorted lightly, "After you go back, bring some wine and food here, I got hungry from the fight."

The four gritted their teeth, "In your dreams! You little brat!"

But who made them his defeated subordinates?

Afraid of getting beaten again, they had to reply, "Of course, of course."

Mu Yuanxiu and Li Yuzhu brought Guoguo and Baili Rui back to the house, and the leopard let go of its mouth, allowing the thin-faced man to clutch his blood-covered thigh and limp away.

But those four, beaten half to death by Mu Yuanxiu, had no strength left, still had to work, dragging a few back, and then coming back to drag the rest.

Mu Yuanxiu and Li Yuzhu settled the two children, Zhou Zhaodi added more firewood to the stove, and only then did they finish dragging people.

Li Yuzhu yawned, waited for a long time before seeing food delivered.

Four bruised and battered people, some carrying wine jugs, some carrying dishes, some carrying snacks, grinning to curry favor, "The food’s here, please enjoy."

Li Yuzhu glanced at them, "Did you poison it?"

The faces of the four changed drastically, and they all said, "We wouldn’t dare."

"Hold on, let me check for poison." Li Yuzhu began inspecting each item.

Her inspection involved opening a space and sending the food within to check for toxins.

But her space was invisible to others.

What these four could see was her picking up food, smelling it, and placing it back in the bowl.

Finally, Li Yuzhu pointed at a roasted deer leg, "How about I give this to you?"

The four were scared out of their wits, stammering with no coherent answer.

Mu Yuanxiu chuckled softly, "We invite you to eat, why won’t you eat? It was rude of me earlier, my strikes were a bit harsh, how about we share a drink and some meat as my apology?"

"..." The four trembled with fear, "No...no thanks..."

Li Yuzhu sneered, "Yuanxiu, there’s poison in that meat, they dare not eat it!"

"Oh, so there’s poison, you wanted to poison us?" Mu Yuanxiu’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and cold.

The four were scared to the point of kneeling with a thud, "Brother, spare us, we won’t dare again."

"Brother?" Mu Yuanxiu laughed, "Isn’t your brother Xiao Tie Shou Xiao Shan?"

The four quickly said, "Xiao Tie Shou is stronger than us, defeated us and became the boss, and now that Mu big brother defeated us, you should be our big brother!"

Mu Yuanxiu was not polite, "Well, since you accept me as your big brother, shouldn’t this big brother live in a place like this?"

He turned and glanced at the shabby place behind him.

The four immediately said, "Rest assured, Brother, we’ll switch the place for you right away."

"Hurry, it’s already late at night." Mu Yuanxiu waved them away.

The four left quickly, taking the drug-mixed deer leg with them.

Mu Yuanxiu and Li Yuzhu distributed the rest of the food to Zhou Zhaodi, Guoguo, and Baili Rui.

Zhou Zhaodi worried there might still be issues with the food, and cautioned Li Yuzhu to be careful, "These mountain bandits are so sly, Sanniang, maybe we shouldn’t eat it."

Li Yuzhu smiled warmly, "Don’t forget, I’m a doctor, no poison or medicine can fool my nose, I can tell by smell. That oily roasted deer leg had anesthetic drugs, they wanted to knock us out, and I have plenty of that in my pouch, daring to drug me, what a laughable act."

Zhou Zhaodi realized and laughed, "Sanniang, you’re truly incredible."

Guoguo beamed with pride, "Indeed, my aunt is the best."

The praise made Li Yuzhu smile along.

Mu Yuanxiu gave the sweet desserts to Guoguo and Baili Rui, a bowl of beef soup to Li Yuzhu, and a bowl of chicken soup to Zhou Zhaodi, then picked up a small knife and sliced a mutton leg to eat.

Guoguo and Baili Rui ate two pieces of dessert, he then sliced more meat for the two little ones. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As they were eating, the four returned again, standing at the door respectfully, "Mu big brother, the house has been tidied, you can move now."

Mu Yuanxiu pointed to the mule cart and horse carriage outside, "Drive our vehicles to the new place, we’ll finish eating shortly and follow."

The four exchanged glances, trusting them so much?

Only when they drove the carts did they understand why Mu Yuanxiu was so confident; that spirit leopard followed right behind the two carts after they drove away.
