"Okay, Wang Er, go back and ask your second uncle to prepare one hundred taels of silver. Remember to ask your second uncle not to be impulsive and bring the money first."

Seeing that things couldn't go well today, Li Mu warned Wang Er earnestly.

"But~"

"Stop it, go quickly."

Li Mu patted Wang Er on the shoulder, interrupted him, winked and said.

"Ok."

Wang Er left. At this time, the other disciples at the foot of the mountain did not know the situation, because it was difficult to see the situation in the woods clearly from the foot of the mountain, but from the top of the mountain, one could see roughly the bottom of the mountain through the gaps in the trees.

"Boy, come on, bake a rabbit for the two of us first. We happen to be tired."

One of the big men grabbed Li Mu to the fire and said.

"I……"

"What? Don't want to?"

"Yes, yes, you may not believe it, but I am best at roasting rabbits."

How could a person not bow his head when he was under the eaves? Li Mu could only pray that his second uncle could bring the money quickly in exchange for his life. He had not left the village yet.

What a shame it would be to die now.

"Second brother, I'm going to get a pot of water from the river. You keep an eye on him."

"Don't worry, boss."

When Li Mu saw that one of them was gone, leaving a big man who looked rather silly, his mind changed and he said.

"Hero, why do you call him eldest brother now and boss the next? Which one is your eldest brother or your boss?"

"Young people on the rivers and lakes are asking for more information."

The big man said with wide eyes.

"Hehe, just curious, curious."

When Li Mu saw that the other party didn't answer, he smiled sarcastically.

"Hero, I think the rabbit is probably cooked. Do you want to take a bite first?"

Li Mu looked at the almost cooked rabbit and said enthusiastically to the big man.

"Oh, let's get a leg."

When the big man saw that the rabbit meat was almost done, he stretched out his hand a little arrogantly.

"Hero, this leg is the fattest."

Li Mu gave the big man his biggest leg.

"Well, boy, you still have some sense."

The big man gave Li Mu an appreciative look and ate the rabbit meat.

"How about another leg?"

Watching the big man finish eating a rabbit leg in three strokes, Li Mu tore off another rabbit leg and handed it to him.

"Here, my eldest brother hasn't eaten yet."

"It's okay, I still have two front legs."

"Ok."

The big man looked at the rabbit legs that Li Mu handed over and was very insistent at first, but when he heard that Li Mu said there were still two legs, he started eating with peace of mind.

After a while~

"another one?"

"Isn't it good? My eldest brother~"

"There's one more."

……

"Another piece?"

"There's only half a body and a rabbit head left. It won't work this time. It must be left to my eldest brother."

"What are you afraid of? I'll just catch a few rabbits later."

"Well, that's fine."

Under Li Mu's persuasion, one rabbit soon disappeared.

"Second brother, where's the rabbit?"

"Ah, brother, listen to my explanation."

The big man who had just returned to the fire after fetching water looked at a pile of bones and asked with an ugly expression.

"Don't explain, you must be greedy. Forget it, I'll catch another one. Three-legged toads are hard to find, and four-legged rabbits are everywhere."

The big man didn't get angry, then he shook his head and went to catch the rabbit.

"By the way, take this kid to that cave and leave a message here, saying that we will come back tomorrow."

"Okay. Brother, don't worry."

The big man was about to find the rabbit, but suddenly he thought that someone else would come later, and he hadn't finished eating the rabbit yet, which was unseemly. Then he turned around and warned.

"Here we are, boy. Quickly find some firewood around. I'll roast the rabbit for my brother later."

Half a quarter of an hour later, at the entrance of a cave, the big man pointed to the dry firewood at the entrance of the cave and said to Li Mu.

"Okay, you'll be fine soon."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Seeing that Li Mu was very cooperative, the big man was very satisfied.

"Hero, have you seen enough?"

"more or less."

After a while, Li Mu picked up a pile of firewood.

After getting the big man's approval, Li Mu sat down and planned to continue talking to the big man.

"Heroes, are you two brothers?"

"What's the matter? What does it have to do with you?"

"No, no, no, I'm just curious. I'm so envious when I see you guys look like heroes."

Li Mu looked at the dark-faced, broad-shouldered man in front of him, who was about 1.9 meters tall, and said something that was beyond his imagination.

"Hey, I guess you have some eyes."

"Of course we are two brothers. Our heroic figures are the result of my mother's birth."

When the big man heard Li Mu praising him, he grinned and said.

"Oh, then your mother must love you brothers very much?"

"That's right, my eldest brother and I were raised by my mother alone."

"We were so good at eating when we were young, so my mother would wash clothes for others, and her hands would be soaked. Oooh, I miss my mother so much."

As he talked, the big man actually cried. Li Mu was confused. But he couldn't stop talking. Li Mu knew that the opponent's psychological defense was the weakest at this time.

"Then how many years have you been out? Isn't your mother worried?"

"We have been out for three or four years, and we want to do some good deeds to earn some money to treat my mother. Woohoo~"

"Is your mother sick?"

"Yeah, my legs don't work well and my hands don't have enough strength. It takes two to three hundred taels to see it."

……

After Li Mu's in-depth heart-to-heart talk, Li Mu already understood the other party's criminal motives.

Their names are Wu Datou and Wu Ertou. One is 27 years old and the other is 25 years old. They are both unmarried.

In a village in the next county, his father went hunting in the mountains and was eaten by a tiger when they were children.

His mother raised them all by herself until they were in their teens. Because of their height, they were spotted by the local landlords and joined the landlord's family as long-term workers.

In the end, the landlord's family had a third-rate early-stage nursing school. Seeing that both brothers had eighth-level talents, he accepted them as disciples.

Five years ago, the nurse felt old and returned to his hometown. They took over their master's class and continued to work as nurses. One tael of silver per person per month. Life is okay, but I can't practice with herbs frequently.

As a result, three years ago, their mother began to get sick in her hands and feet. She asked the doctor, and the doctor said that it was due to too much cold water in the winter, so she needed to soak her in medicine. The cure would cost two to three hundred taels of silver.

As soon as they gathered together, they went out to perform chivalry. As a result, they robbed a few bandits and got more than 100 taels of silver. They also captured a few second-generation people and got more than 200 taels of silver, which was almost enough.

I planned to go home to treat my mother's illness, but I stayed in an inn for one night and lost all my money.

The two were preparing to go into the mountains to look for some bandits, but there were no bandits nearby. They were roasting rabbit when they met Li Mu and others.

"Ahem, heroes, as the saying goes, a penny beats a hero. Aren't you afraid of raising enough money again so that there won't be any accidents in your wallet?"

"This~ shouldn't be possible, right?"

After hearing Li Mu's words, the big man said a little unconfidently.

"What are you talking about?"

Li Mu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wu Datou.
