Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1197: Call Him Brother

The Bearded Man and Thin Tall Guy exchanged a glance.

”Were you just chasing that snake? Aren’t you afraid of snakes?”

Chiang Xiao was very ”honest” as she said, ”That kind of snake can be used to brew liquor, and it can be sold for some money. I have Snake-Repelling Medicine, so I’m not afraid. However, the snake has already run away, and it will be difficult to catch it now.”

It was indeed frustrating; she did bring Snake-Repelling Medicine, but it seemed that the snake was a little tougher and wasn’t scared.

It looked like she would have to be more careful in the future, the Snake-Repelling Medicine wasn’t omnipotent after all, it didn’t work too well on some snakes.

”That snake, I just killed it; it’s in the cave, little sister, do you want to go in and pick it up?”

The Bearded Man said this while he and the Thin Tall Guy moved closer to her.

They didn’t want to let her leave, it seemed.

Chiang Xiao was considering whether to take these two men down right away when the Bearded Man gave Thin Tall Guy a look, and the latter nodded, pulled out a gun from behind his waist, and aimed it at Chiang Xiao.

They actually had a gun!

Chiang Xiao’s pupils constricted.

Her kung fu was good, her speed was fast, and her strength was strong, but she had never thought she could outfight a gun or outrun a bullet!

”All right, little sister, no need to pretend anymore, if you dared to chase a poisonous snake here alone, how could you be so scared? I don’t believe that at all,” the Bearded Man said to her with a grin.

Chiang Xiao’s gaze flickered.

This man wasn’t stupid.

”What do you want to do?” Chiang Xiao still showed a scared expression.

If she really exposed herself now by not showing any fear when tricked, that would be truly revealing herself.

They might have been able to tell that her fear was feigned previously, but any normal person would genuinely become afraid upon seeing a gun in someone else’s hand.

Her fear now seemed real.

Indeed, seeing her expression, both the Bearded Man and Thin Tall Guy visibly relaxed a little.

At least they didn’t encounter someone who wasn’t afraid of guns; this way they dared to keep her alive without taking any action.

”What we’re going to do depends on whether you behave or not,” the Bearded Man asked, ”Tell us honestly, how many people are with you?”

”It’s really just my brother and me; my medicine basket is with him, and he’s digging for herbs.”

”Where?”

Chiang Xiao pointed in a different direction.

Just now, she felt that even if these two found Meng Xinian, it wouldn’t matter since they definitely weren’t his match.

But now, seeing that they had a gun, she still felt a bit anxious.

”Call him over loudly; it will save us from having to look for him.”

”What do you want him for?”

”No big deal, if you two behave, we won’t do anything. At most, we’ll tie you up. Once we leave, you’ll be safe. But if you don’t obey, my gun isn’t just for show,” said Thin Tall Guy, pointing the gun at her, ”Listen, don’t think about running away. If you make a move, my gun might go off.”

As they spoke, they moved back, one to the left, the other to the right, seeking places to hide.

But Chiang Xiao knew the gun’s barrel was still pointed at her.

She stood still, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted loudly towards where Meng Xinian was.

”Brother!”

Meng Xinian heard her voice.

But what did she shout?

Brother?

She usually called him Tyrant Meng or Brother Xinian, and occasionally when annoyed, she would call him Meng Xinian by his full name. When had she ever called him Brother?

If there was no one else around, she certainly didn’t need to shout like that.
