Moment of Crisis

  "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll dig out your eyeballs!" A beautiful woman's angry shout came from beside my ear.

  Luoyi suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, staring blankly at the girl's face. He hadn't done this before, probably because he had just crossed over and was still a bit out of it. He hastily took the chicken leg handed to him by the girl and took a big bite with a flattering expression.

  "Ah!" A miserable cry, the freshly roasted chicken leg had scalded a blister on Luo Yi's mouth.

  The girl giggled and ran away. Luo Yi watched her run back to the fire pit to gather a pile of food, guessing that she should be in charge of cooking, this bandit gang is quite tasteful, even the female chef is so beautiful.

  "What's this girl's name?" Luo Yi came to Tuo Jiu's side and sat down, tearing a large piece of meat from the chicken leg and handing it to Tuo Jiu, asking casually.

  Jiu ate chicken legs and said, "It seems that you are really possessed by a ghost. You can't even remember the eldest sister? For her, the master of the house broke three bamboo sticks on your body."

  "What's going on? I don't remember anything at all." Luo Yi thought to himself: Indeed, breaking three bamboo sticks is a serious offense, what kind of person was my previous life?

  Tui Jiu then introduced her to Luo Yi again: This girl's name is Zeng Shan, and she just turned 15 years old. Her father was originally a servant soldier for the big master, but later died in battle. The big master remembered the past and brought Zeng Shan to the mountain stronghold, raising her as his own niece when she was only 12 years old. Everyone called her "Big Miss".

  As for Luo Zi being beaten, that was last year's matter. The young and vigorous Luo Zi didn't know what kind of courage he had eaten, but actually went to peek at Zeng Shan while she was taking a bath. As a result, he was discovered by Zeng Shan, who shouted loudly. The master tied up Luo Zi and gave him a good beating, also punishing him for several days without food. Zeng Shan also glared at Luo Zi for several months whenever she saw him. However, the young girl's temperament was good, and after a period of time, she forgot about this matter and could talk to Luo Zi again.

  "Damn, I've actually carried such a bad reputation." Luo Yi thought gloomily. The erotic memory of sneaking a peek at the little girl bathing belonged to the already disappeared Luo Zi, but the infamy that remained was something he had to bear himself. What kind of thing is this?

  "Hey, hey, you know why Big Sister gave you a good face?"

  Luo Yi shook his head.

  Jiu stuck his mouth to his ear and said, "The master has spoken, you may not be a good thing, but the young lady's body has been seen by you, and she can't marry anyone else. When she grows up a bit, she can only marry you."

  "This works too?" Luo Yi sighed, it seems that the old society is still good, one glance and a lifetime is decided. This little girl, although just 15 years old, has already developed physically, with bright and lively eyebrows and eyes, at least she would be a class beauty in university. Now this little girl has been assigned to his own name, it seems that crossing over into this world isn't so bad after all.

  The rice is done, Zeng Shan brought a few people to scoop the rice into bowls and handed it over to everyone. Everyone was hungry, eating hastily. Luo Yi's rice was personally served by Zeng Shan, and the dishes in the bowl looked more abundant than others. Luo Yi didn't know what to say to Zeng Shan, fearing that he would offend her again if he wasn't careful, so he simply smiled foolishly. Zeng Shan glared at him with a pretended anger and then busied herself away.

  After dinner, everyone made some bedding with branches and leaves and fell asleep in the forest. Before long, snores rose from all directions. Luo Yi lay beside Tu Jiu, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He didn't know why these people around him could sleep so soundly, when the enemy was just below the mountain, and perhaps a large-scale search would begin tomorrow. The current behavior of the gang members, is it seeing death as homecoming, or are they like dead pigs not afraid of being scalded by boiling water?

  Under the starlight, Luo Yi saw that several people in the team had climbed up and quietly walked to the edge of the forest. They lit cigarettes and seemed to be discussing something. Luo Yi vaguely recognized that among those people were Lu Shuangyong and Le Jialin, it seemed that the leaders of the Gathering Association were having a meeting.

  Luo Yi thought for a moment and also got up, walking to the side of those people. He was, after all, one of the leaders, and his experience might be more extensive than that of the bandits back then. Since it concerned his own life and death, he decided to swallow his pride and listen in. The few people saw him coming over and seemed to hesitate for a moment, but they didn't drive him away. Among these people, apart from Lu Shuangyong and Le Jialin, there were also Su Xiaofeng and Wang Dacheng, the leaders of the front and rear camps. Indeed, as Luo Yi had analyzed, this was the current leadership team of the Gathering Righteousness Society. They were discussing the current situation, and originally, lower-ranking members like Luo Zi were not allowed to participate, but now that it was a matter of life and death, there was no point in adhering to these rules.

  " Luo Zi, why aren't you sleeping?" Le Jialin asked. He was always gentle with others, and after hearing that Luo Yi had killed five enemies with five shots during the day, his attitude towards him became even more amiable.

  "Can't sleep, can I listen to you guys talk?"

  "Alas, there's nothing much to say, you can listen if you want," said Lu Shuangyong. "The master of the house has left first, and I reckon it'll be our turn tomorrow. We're discussing how everyone will travel together tomorrow, you might as well listen."

  "Going on the road? Where are you running to?" Luo Yi asked, since they could walk, why stay here and sleep, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the night and slip away quickly?

  "Go to King Yan's place." Su Xiaofeng said with a fierce tone.

  Wang Dacheng was fighting alongside Luo Yi during the day, and he personally witnessed Luo Yi's divine shooting skills. He curiously asked: "Luo Zi, how did you suddenly become so skilled with a gun? One hand grenade and you're already showing off your abilities?"

  "This... hehe, let's talk about it later. Are you saying that everyone will be finished tomorrow?" Luo Yi said.

  Lu Shuangyong said: "You also saw the situation of our army, we can't rush out at all. I let Jialin take out all the food and cook it, just to make everyone a full ghost."

  Luo Yi was anxious, this group of people had discussed for half a day, and it actually ended up with such a result. He said: "Don't be like that, you're the host, you can't say things like that, we have to think of a way, we can't just sit and wait for death."

  "Lu Zichang has finally learned to be patient and use idioms." Le Jialin laughed, which was also a joke he made in this situation.

  Lu Shuangyu looked at Luo Yi and said: "Anyway, we can't think of a solution. You're the one who's possessed by a ghost, can you come up with something good?"

  Luo Yi said: "I don't know what's going on with myself either. After being stunned by the grenade, it seems like there's something extra in my brain. However, I've almost forgotten about the past things. Lu Ge, can you tell me about the situation outside and let's think of a solution together?"

  Lu Shuangyong briefly told Luo Yi the situation: The National Army outside had sent a battalion of troops, which had already divided into several routes to block all the roads leading out of the mountain, and then simultaneously squeezed into the mountain. Places like mountain gullies and cliffs that could be used for escape were all guarded by soldiers, making it impossible to try to escape under cover of darkness or in the chaos. Currently, each member of the Gathering Association had only one rifle, but there were only 5 bullets per person, and most of the members did not have any combat effectiveness, unable to even organize a decent resistance, let alone break through.

  "So we just wait like this? Wait for dawn and they come to catch us?" Luo Yi said.

  "That's it." Wang Da Cheng said dejectedly, "At that time, we'll just have to fight one by one. Surrender is impossible, this troop is the Central Army, and we're tough on bandits."

  "What are we doing staying here now? It's only midnight, can't we do something for the rest of the night?"

  "Come here and take a look." Wang Da Cheng pulled Luo Yi to a rock, letting him look down. Luo Yi saw that at the foot of the mountain, the enemy had already set up a dense defense line, with torches burning continuously, making it completely impossible to slip out silently from this line.

  Luoyi carefully observed the enemy's defense line, thinking about the games he had played in the past, such as "Allied Daredevil Squad", and wondering how others would escape in this situation.

  "Is that tent the enemy's command center?" Luo Yi asked, pointing to a large tent with particularly bright lights.

  Lu Shuang came over and took a look, saying: "Maybe it is."

  "If we give it a cannon and blow up the enemy's command center, won't they be in chaos?" Luo Yi suggested with good intentions.

  Several people showed contemptuous expressions: "If there were cannons, would you still need to say anything?"

  Luo Yi's mind was sweating, and he suddenly realized that this was a bandit, not the new first battalion of the Eighth Route Army. Li Yunlong's tactics wouldn't work here. Luo Yi's heart was racing, but he actually came up with an idea:

  "I have an idea, who's with me to give it a try?"
