Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

As soon as the captain finished speaking, everyone rushed to the window and looked out. They saw a group of ferocious people waving weapons and rushing towards them. They were dressed in rags, but each of them held a sharp blade, with greed and cruelty on their faces, and they were obviously not good people.

"Damn, it's bandits! How did they find this place?" exclaimed a member of the Self-Defense Forces.

Before anyone could react, the bandits had already rushed to the door. The burly man in the lead kicked the door open and shouted arrogantly, "Don't move! Robbery! If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Fight them!" The captain roared, and rushed forward first, fighting with several bandits who rushed in. The members of the Self-Defense Force also picked up their weapons and fought a desperate battle with the bandits.

The room was in chaos, with the sounds of swords clashing, roars, and screams interweaving together, making people tremble with fear. Chu Mengmeng hugged Ling'er tightly, hiding in the corner, her face pale, her eyes full of fear. Xiao Yichen protected them behind him, holding a hatchet tightly in his hand, and staring at the movements around him vigilantly.

Although the members of the Self-Defense Force had recovered some strength, they were still somewhat powerless in the face of this group of disorganized bandits. They were outnumbered to begin with, and with the sudden attack of the bandits, they quickly fell behind.

"Hahaha, you rubbish, you want to fight me!" The leading muscular man chopped down a member of the Self-Defense Force with a knife and laughed arrogantly. He glanced at Chu Mengmeng and Ling'er hiding in the corner, and a lewd light flashed in his eyes, "Hey, there are two little beauties here, just in time for the brothers to have some fun!"

As he spoke, he brandished his sword and approached Chu Mengmeng and her daughter.

"Beast, stop it!" Seeing this, Xiao Yichen's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily, rushing forward waving a hatchet.

"You don't know what you can do!" The strong man sneered and swung his sword to fight. Although Xiao Yichen had never practiced martial arts, in order to protect his wife and daughter, he burst out with amazing strength and fought the strong man on equal terms.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and soon, several more bandits came up and surrounded Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen was struggling, gradually losing strength, and had many wounds on his body, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, because he knew that if he fell, Chu Mengmeng and Ling'er would be in danger...

"Mengmeng, run!" Xiao Yichen roared, and tried his best to repel a bandit, then turned around and threw the hatchet in his hand at Chu Mengmeng...

The hatchet drew an arc in the air and finally landed steadily at Chu Mengmeng's feet. Chu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Xiao Yichen meant. He wanted her to take Ling'er and escape.

"No! I won't leave! Let's go together!" Chu Mengmeng burst into tears. She hugged Ling'er tightly and shook her head desperately. She couldn't leave Xiao Yichen and escape alone!

"Listen! Go! I can still hold on!" Xiao Yichen roared again, with a hint of pleading and despair in his voice. He knew that he was probably in danger today, but he would never let Chu Mengmeng and Ling'er fall into the hands of these beasts!

"No! I won't leave! I want to stay with you!" Chu Mengmeng cried. She struggled to stand up and help Xiao Yichen, but her postpartum weakness made it impossible for her to stand steadily. She could only watch Xiao Yichen being surrounded by more and more bandits.

"Ah!" Xiao Yichen groaned in pain. His arm was cut by a bandit and blood immediately dyed his sleeves red.

"Xiao Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng screamed heartbreakingly, her heart was broken. She wanted to rush over desperately, but was held back by Ling'er's little hand.

"Mom...don't..." Ling'er's little face was full of tears. Although she was young, she knew what was happening. She hugged Chu Mengmeng tightly, not letting her take any risks.

"Ling'er, be good and listen to me. Mommy will go to help Daddy..." Chu Mengmeng burst into tears. She wanted to pry Ling'er's hands open, but found that Ling'er was holding them very tightly and could not pry them open at all.

"Mom... don't... Ling'er will protect you..." Ling'er's little face suddenly flashed with a determined look. She let go of Chu Mengmeng, stood up shakily, stretched out her chubby little hand, and pointed at the group of bandits who were besieging Xiao Yichen...

When Chu Mengmeng saw Ling'er's action, her heart trembled suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind: "Ling'er, don't!"

But it was too late. Ling'er waved her hand gently, and a faint light flashed...

The faint light was like a firefly in the night sky. It seemed insignificant, but it caused all the bandits to pause for a moment. They looked at Ling'er in doubt. This little person could actually release a power that threatened them!

"Witchcraft! This kid knows witchcraft!" A bandit shouted in horror, and he could hardly hold the knife in his hand.

His words were like a drop of water in boiling oil, which immediately caused the pot to explode. The bandits retreated one after another, their eyes filled with fear and greed. They were afraid of Ling'er's unknown power, and they were greedy because if they could control this child, wouldn't they have the most powerful weapon?

"Hey, little girl, just follow your uncle and he will give you some candy!" A one-eyed bandit licked his lips, with greed flashing in his eyes, and tried to get close to Ling'er.

Ling'er saw his eyes, and her small body couldn't help but tremble, but she still clenched her fists tightly, trying to release the light again. However, her strength was too weak after all, and the previous one was already her limit.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid, Daddy is here!" Xiao Yichen's eyes were red with anger when he saw Ling'er in danger. He tried hard to break the encirclement, but was kicked to the ground by someone.

"Cough cough..." Xiao Yichen spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to stand up, but was unable to do anything.

"Brother Xiao!" The members of the Self-Defense Force who were watching from a distance were extremely anxious when they saw this scene. They wanted to rush to save the bandits while they were stunned by Ling'er's power, but when they saw that Ling'er's power was exhausted and the bandits were surrounding them again, they were in a dilemma.

"Captain, let's charge! Even if it costs our lives, we must save Brother Xiao and his wife!" A young team member had red eyes and clenched his weapon.

“No! We are too few in number. If we rush forward we will just die. What’s more, there are children there…” The older captain grabbed him, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with pain and struggle.

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch them get taken away?" the young team member asked unwillingly.

"Retreat! Let's retreat to the mountains first!" the captain said gritting his teeth. He knew what this decision meant. It meant that they had to give up the land they had worked so hard to cultivate, and all their previous efforts had been in vain!

"But……"

"No buts! This is an order!" the captain shouted sternly, then took the lead in retreating.

The young team member wanted to say something, but was stopped by his companions: "Let's go, we can't make things difficult for the captain!"

Watching the Self-Defense Forces gradually go away, Chu Mengmeng's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that they had tried their best, but were they really going to surrender?

The bandits became even more brazen when they saw the Self-Defense Forces retreat. They approached Chu Mengmeng and Ling'er step by step, with ferocious smiles on their faces...

"Burn, burn this place down!" The leader of the bandits looked at everything in front of him fiercely and raised the torch in his hand...

"No!" A desperate roar came from the mouth of the young team member, echoing in the empty wilderness, but it was powerless to stop the leaping flames.

The leader of the bandits threw the torch in his hand into the field with a grim smile. The dry straw was instantly ignited, and the flames greedily licked everything, and soon formed a sea of ​​fire. Thick smoke rose up, covering the sky, as if the end of the world had come.

The members of the Self-Defense Forces closed their eyes in agony as they watched the hellish scene before them. The wasteland they had worked so hard to cultivate, the land they had shed so much sweat and poured so much hope into, was now reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Haha, this is what happens when you go against us!" The bandits laughed wildly and trampled on the crops in the fields that had not yet been harvested.

Xiao Yichen struggled to stand up, but was stepped on the chest by the bandit. The severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe. His eyes were red, staring at the sea of ​​fire, his heart filled with hatred and despair.

Chu Mengmeng hugged Ling'er tightly and watched all this helplessly. Ling'er seemed to feel her mother's sadness, with tears all over her little face. She stretched out her little hand, wanting to touch the blazing flame, but was pulled back by Chu Mengmeng.

"Ling'er, don't touch it, it will burn you!" Chu Mengmeng's voice trembled. She didn't dare to imagine what she would do if something happened to Ling'er.

After setting the fire, the bandits did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they took Chu Mengmeng's family of three and the captured Self-Defense Force members and walked towards the town.

"Boss, what should we do next?" A bandit came up to the leader and asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to go back to town and celebrate! We have captured so many people this time, we will definitely be able to squeeze a lot of money out of them!" The leader said proudly, "When the time comes, I will let everyone in the town know who is the master here!"

Hearing his words, the other bandits all cheered as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

Only Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had no joy in their eyes, only endless worry and fear. They didn't know what the bandits would do to them, let alone where their future lay.

"Mengmeng..." Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of worry and guilt, "It's all my fault. I got you and Ling'er into trouble..."

"Don't say that, it's not your fault..." Chu Mengmeng held back her tears and held his hand tightly, "We will be fine, we will be fine..."

However, her voice became smaller and smaller, and weaker and weaker, because she saw a group of familiar figures appearing on the road ahead...

"It's them! They're back!" a bandit pointed ahead and exclaimed.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts suddenly sank, because they saw that the person walking in front was...
