Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Heroes Emerge in Youth
Not long ago, it was indeed heard that some children had torn down the bounty list, although he himself did not see it, but it shouldn’t be these two, right?
Or could it be that they were just members of those children?
The County Magistrate silently waved to the Leader of the Guards, who came running over upon seeing this, and the County Magistrate quietly murmured,
"Was it them who tore down the bounty list that day?"
The Leader of the Guards shook his head, "They are not from the same group."
The County Magistrate was left speechless, closely observing Li Wenli and Bai Junjun, the more he looked, the more shocked he became, it seemed there was still hope for the country after all!
Not to mention the children who had previously torn down the bounty list, just these two in front of him, had they really taken down more than fifty people by their own strength?
Indeed the land always produces talented individuals!
Tears were almost spraying from the County Magistrate’s eyes.
While the County Magistrate was observing them, Bai Junjun was also observing the County Magistrate.
This was her first time seeing a living County Magistrate, and in the few tales of The Apocalypse, most County Magistrates were portrayed as greedy for life, fearing death, and corrupt fools who disregarded human lives.
The County Magistrate she saw seemed different, whether he was greedy for money she didn’t know, but his speech and conduct seemed to be a refreshing exception.
Before Bai Junjun could observe more, a sudden movement came from the cart.
Everyone saw that the straw mat was moving, and all were startled, "Pretending to be dead...he’s pretending to be dead."
The County Magistrate also briskly hid behind the Leader of the Guards, only to hear a weak cry of pain.
Bai Junjun immediately said, "I forgot to inform everyone, apart from Black Spider’s men, there is also a young lady from Zhao Family Village, Zhao Xiaomiao, on the cart. She is the only survivor of the Zhao Family Village but is now hanging by a thread."
Upon hearing this, the County Magistrate’s expression changed; he knew Zhao Xiaomiao!
As one of the wealthier households in Dai County, the Zhao Family naturally had dealings with him.
He had long heard about the massacre at Zhao Family Village half a month ago.
But the government officials couldn’t help much; mainly because there were not enough men, going there would mean certain death, and currently, the county was assembling troops, planning to gather a hundred strong men by the end of the month and head there.
The County Magistrate quickly walked over and lifted the straw mat to look, just as Zhao Xiaomiao was regaining consciousness, and in a haze of awareness saw the County Magistrate and two lines of tears flowed out, "Uncle... save me..."
Although Zhao Xiaomiao and the County Magistrate were not actual relatives, in such longtime familial connections, it was customary to address each other as uncle.
The County Magistrate nodded with a grave expression and immediately had someone fetch the doctor.
As the gathered crowd watched, they gradually understood the situation and their perception of Li Wenli and Bai Junjun changed.
These were the village chivalrous youth who had razed the Zhao Family Village stronghold and even successfully rescued the trapped Miss Zhao, remarkable for their tender age!
The crowd spontaneously burst into applause.
Amid the cheering of the crowd, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun entered the County Yamen.
And afterward, naturally, Li Wenli explained the whole story of the incident.
In essence, they were passing by Xinding Village, then accepted a commission from the villagers to avenge the village chief, ambushing the bandits while they slept, followed by the arrival of Black Nine, who was a reinforcement for the bandits, leading to a conflict and fortunately they managed to legally apprehend Black Nine and his men.
The County Magistrate was staggered by the story, his admiration for the two youths was relentless like the endless flowing river!
Look at how they describe it, as if catching butterflies in the vegetable garden and incidentally capturing the pests.
These are the Black Spider bandits!
The ferocious Black Spider that could massacre the fortress-like Zhao Family homestead!
"May I ask where your homeland is, young village warrior knight-errants?" the County Magistrate asked.
"We are escorts, became separated from our family due to the wars, and are now taking on commissions while searching for our family members," they replied.
