Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 191 Breakthrough Round (6)

Seeing that things were not going well, the chieftain turned to flee.

Seeing this from afar, Gu Shijiu threw his broadsword, pinning the chieftain to the wall.

The emperor went to check on him and found that he was already dead: "Why did you kill him?"

"This person has done so many bad things, how can I let him eat my food?" Gu Shijiu had already tacitly agreed that the wealth of Langya Village belonged to him.

"Then we should wait until we find out he colluded with the government before killing him," the emperor explained.

Gu Shijiu didn't care: "Why ask that?"

"Of course, they should be handed over to the imperial court for trial later," the emperor said, frowning.

"That's what you want to do, what does it have to do with me?" Gu Shijiu was disgusted by this attempt to make decisions for her.

Cao Huan silently memorized it.

The emperor was speechless and sat there sulking.

Half an hour later, Wang Sancai led about ten people up the cliff.

Unexpectedly, they only saw corpses along the way, and no one stopped them.

A bandit behind Wang San muttered to himself, "Is this chief some kind of goddess reincarnation? Are we really going to live a good life?"

"From now on, whatever the head of the household says goes. Never go against her wishes," Wang San instructed.

The bandits behind him nodded repeatedly; their fighting prowess was something they wouldn't dare to do even if they had a few lives.

When Wang San and the others met up with Gu Shijiu, they saw that all the surviving people from Langya Village had been gathered in the open space in front of the warehouse.

Most of them were women and children who were pulled out of the cellar.

These bandits were indeed very different from those of Black Wind Stronghold.

The women were all kidnapped from villages and passing caravans, locked up together in cellars, and shared by the bandits of the entire village.

Children are like food reserves.

"What a beast!" Wang San spat.

The village had no shortage of food. Gu Shijiu opened the warehouse, which was filled with a large amount of gold, silver, grain, and weapons.

The people of Black Wind Village went crazy when they saw the grain; several of them grabbed handfuls of unhulled rice and stuffed them into their mouths.

Gu Shijiu didn't stop them, but only told Li Gui to keep an eye on them and make sure they didn't overeat.

It took a while for everyone to stop. Wang San and a few others took some food back first, so that the people of Black Wind Village could have a full meal first.

Seeing the ample food supply, the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold were extremely excited.

They carried the grain and meat and headed back, feeling full of energy.

Gu Shijiu told them to bring back the rest of the villagers so they could live in this village from now on, as the environment was much better than before.

"Aren't you afraid these people will take the food and run away?" The emperor watched coldly; the grain Wang San took away was enough to feed them for a while.

“Isn’t it good that they ran away?” Gu Shijiu said with wide eyes. “It’ll save us from supporting so many people.”

If only she were alone, all these things would be hers.

Gu Shijiu looked at the three emperors, lost in thought.

Seeing that things were not going well, Cao Huan rolled his eyes at the emperor and said, "Third Sister, I don't eat much, but I can still give you advice."

Li Gui quickly followed up: "Third Aunt, I can cook, I can hunt, and I can do... oh, housework."

He seemed to have heard Cao Huan say that.

Gu Shijiu turned his gaze to the emperor.

Emperor: Damn it, you're an idiot.

"Didn't you tell me to train the troops?" He said, his face ashen, inwardly blaming himself for being so useless.

The situation outside is really not peaceful. If Gu Shijiu drives him away, he doesn't have the confidence to survive to reach the capital.

He couldn't meet with local officials, and even if he did, he wouldn't trust them.

Having arrived here, he was well aware of the current atmosphere in officialdom.

If the officials knew he was the emperor, he might not have survived to avoid being punished later.

After considering it over, Gu Shijiu gave up the idea of ​​keeping all the wealth for himself and asked Cao Huan and Li Gui to count it.

Cao Huan felt relieved and mocked the emperor: "You only have soldiers to train when Wang San and the others come back. If Wang San doesn't come back, hehe, what use are you?"

...The boomerang hit him, and now the emperor could only pray that these people wouldn't run away.

Along with the vast wealth, these women and children also awaited receipt.

Gu Shijiu had a headache.

These people huddled in the corner like quails, neither speaking nor making any move since they were brought out.

His eyes were lifeless, his expression numb, and he did whatever he was told, as obedient as a rabbit.

Almost everyone was barely clothed and covered in bruises and wounds, including some of the older children.

Besides the women, there were also several handsome men.

However, in this situation, they are treated no differently from women.

"If you want to go home, you can go down the mountain by yourselves, or I can send someone to pick you up."

There weren't enough people in the village, so Gu Shijiu didn't plan to send them.

A young girl who seemed to have just arrived came to her senses. She had bloodstains on her body, but seemed to be in good spirits.

“My name is Dong Wu Niang. My home is in the next town. Please take this to the Dong family in Guihua Lane. They will come to pick me up when they see it.”

Dong Wu Niang took out a purse with crooked stitching.

"I should have known better than to sneak out and play around, sob sob, what's wrong with learning needlework..."

Gu Shijiu asked Li Gui to take the purse and run an errand.

As for the others, they remained blank and unresponsive.

Even after Wang San brought all the people from Black Wind Village over, the group of women were still huddled together.

Gu Shijiu would feed them, and they would eat. They would also go to a fixed place to relieve themselves, but that was all.

Cao Huan looked at it and it resembled a pet he had seen before, or even worse.

A well-cared-for pet will at least have a bright coat, a plump body, and won't look lifeless.

When the women in Black Wind Village saw the people on the ground, several of them couldn't help but cry.

Although their village is poor, at least everyone is still human.

The first thing the women did after they arrived was to cook.

They had already eaten food at Wang San's place before they came, and now they were full of energy.

Gu Shijiu was finally able to eat normal meals.

Although the cooking method was so-so, at least there was meat and vegetables.

Half a day later, Li Gui returned, covered in dust and looking somewhat disheveled, with no one else behind him.

The light in Dong Wuniang's eyes dimmed instantly: "Is no one home?"

Li Gui returned the purse to her: "The Dong family said that their fifth daughter recently suffered from a sudden and serious illness and has passed away..."

He didn't say anything more. The Dong family not only called him a liar, but also wanted the doorman to beat him.

Luckily he ran fast, otherwise he would have gotten hit by a few sticks.

“How could this be! My parents have always loved me dearly—” Dong Wu Niang was so emotional that she choked up and couldn’t continue.

Li Gui, worried that Gu Shijiu would blame him, defended himself: "I didn't look in the wrong place. There's a big, old osmanthus tree at the entrance of Osmanthus Lane."

The family's surname is Dong. They have five daughters and three sons. Their youngest daughter has just passed away.

The Dong family doted on their daughter, and despite her young age, they still held a funeral for her.

I not only gave them the purse, but I also told them about your clothes and appearance. After hearing that, they immediately threw the purse away.
