The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 266 | Kampung Bandit
Fang Zen, the temporary name used by Zen Luo was given by Fang Ma because he did not remember anything from his past.
Fang Zen was stunned to hear Fang Guo's words which suggested him to go see a healer on Mount Shanji. He did not know where to look for the mountain.
“Uncle, let me help him go to mount Shanji.” Fang Ma volunteered to help Fang Zen. He had long wanted to go adventuring but he was reluctant to leave his uncle alone.
Fang Guo knew of his nephew's intentions, Fang Ma had always studied martial arts and had no interest at all in forging iron. But he did not want his nephew to go alone for an adventure. But now he left with Fang Zen who accompanied him.
Although he had not known Fang Zen for a long time, but he believed in his nephew. With a heavy heart he finally let her go accompany Fang Zen to find a healer to Mount Shanji.
Fang Zen was relieved to be accompanied by a person who knew the way better than himself who was losing his memory. Fang Ma seemed excited to be able to go on an adventure. That was his goal since childhood.
Fang Ma was born without knowing his parents. Fang Guo picked him up when he met in the middle of the forest and made him a nephew because he had no wife. Fang Guo took care of Fang Ma aided by the neighbors around them. So that Fang Ma was quite well known and dear to everyone in that small town of Yangsi.
When he was leaving the small town of Yangsi, Fang Ma said goodbye to the townspeople who had always loved him.
Fang Ma walked with Fang Zen towards the direction of the Shanji mountain which was south of Yangsi city. They walked through a thick forest after leaving Yangsi City.
Suddenly from within the forest appeared some bandits who were famous often robbing people who walked through the forest.
“Give your treasure or life!” Shouted the leader of the bandit who used a red headband.
Fang Zen was about to act against, but Fang Ma held back his hand and shook his head making Fang Zen undo his intention to fight back.
“We only fight if in danger,” Fang Ma whispered to him. Fang Zen nodded his head. He only sighed following Fang Ma's orders.
The bandits checked them out immediately. Fang Zen felt he did not have any things. Fang Ma also carried nothing in his bag except a change of clothes and a stick.
“Chairman. They are poor people. They do not carry any valuables.” Shouted his subordinates who were inspecting Fang Ma's luggage.
“Ah, some days we don't get anything. That guy has been pressuring us a lot to increase his deposit.” The bandit leader complained to the colleague beside him.
“Then what are our plans?”
The colleague beside the bandit chief who was also a subordinate asked back to him. They had robbed for a few days but had not produced anything. This is not worth the risk they face.
“Already, their lives don't matter either. Not making a profit for us,” muttered the bandit's chairman again.
“But that woman is very beautiful chief. Does the chairman not want to add another wife?” that partner's temptation.
“But this one is a pity chief. Or we just take it to be a servant and help the work of the chairman's wives,” suggested his colleague
The bandit leader's face seemed radiant to hear the idea of his colleague. He also agreed. Then the entire bandit herded Fang Ma and Fang Zen into their hideout.
Bandit Village, the place was hidden at the foot of the mountains and in the middle of the dense forest that had been passed by Fang Ma and Fang Zen. The village was also drained by a fairly clear river that became one of their food sources in addition to hunting animals.
Being a bandit was a side job for them due to a request from someone who requested a security tax on the village.
The head of Bandit is also the head of a bandit village called Ma Lang and commonly called Bandit Ma. The villagers immediately stormed them after they came from ‘hunting valuables’. But this time they got nothing back from the hunt, except for two strangers who came with him.
“Bandit Ma, despite not getting any good stuff. Should not bring a stranger who will spend our rations sekampung,” shouted the first wife of the bandit leader.
The eyes of Bandit Ma twitched hearing the words of his first wife who was also allowed by the people of the bandit village.
“My wife, they can help ease our work,” Bandit Ma said.
“Look, they are very strong and seem capable in work. We can use them to help us,” continued Bandit Ma back while showing Fang Ma and Fang Zen.
Fang Zen's eyes twitched hearing Bandit Ma's words. He was lazy to deal with such things and wanted to go straight to Shangji Mountain. However he saw Fang Ma smiling and enjoying the atmosphere made him become patient again.
Fang Ma is a person who likes to hang out, of course being in this bandit village makes his heart happy because he gets new experiences and friends. Fang Ma did not feel they were bad people. So he did not intend to fight them unless in dangerous circumstances.
“Good. I accept them, as long as their work is good,” said Bandit Ma's first wife returned with a ketus.
“Well, you can stay in this place and help with the work of the wives,” Bandit Ma told Fang Ma and Fang Zen.
In the evening after leaving ‘hunt’ they always hold a banquet together in the middle of the village. Fang Zen and Fang Ma also participated in the banquet.
Fang Ma felt that having a new experience, the bandits were not as bad as he thought. They also had warmth like the people in his town. Fang Zen held himself back and tried to follow Fang Ma's plan of wanting to enjoy his adventure.
“Chairman, Mr. Song came with two people to get here,” said the scout who was in charge of lurking around the bandit village.
The eyes of Bandit Ma twitched hearing the arrival of that person. “Damn it, they've come again,” growled
Fang Ma noticed the change in the face of Bandit Ma who became ugly upon hearing the news from his scouts. “What happened?” he murmured in the heart.
Shortly afterwards came three people walking leisurely approaching their banquet. “Hahaha... It looks like you guys are getting great results these few days,” shouted the person who came.
