Just over 20 bandits were enough to threaten the hundreds of refugees. Furthermore, Ren Xiaosu did not see the refugees putting up any resistance.
The bandit leader, Jin Lan, was still chattering nonstop. "Don't y'all worry. I, Jin Lan, also studied for two years in the town's school. I'm not an oaf who kills without batting an eyelid, and I won't do anything bad to y'all."
Someone nearby buttered up to him. "That's right, our boss is very knowledgeable. Those bandits from the other gangs can't compare to him."
Jin Lan smiled humbly. "Don't exaggerate. Speaking of which, I'm bringing y'all back to the mountains so that I can provide everyone here a better life. Look at how skinny y'all are, especially you!" He pointed at Ren Xiaosu. "Look at how skinny you are. Your face is so bony and pale. It's like you don't even have any strength left."
