"You've misunderstood, Village Chief Xiao," Lichun said quickly, immediately understanding their actions. "We're people of the Rong Dynasty, not those bandits."
Village Chief Xiao did not let down his guard. Flanked by the two old women who had followed him, he silently retreated a few steps. "We're not selling these dried goods anymore. You should leave at once!"
Lichun retorted, "You old man, how can you go back on your word? Everything was fine just a moment ago! Besides, look at the three of us. Do we look like hardened criminals?"
Someone muttered, "It's not like villains have it written on their faces. Besides, I've heard those bandits are the most cunning of all."
Before her two maids could retort, Jin Qianqian spoke. "If that's the case, then we won't enter the village. My apologies for the disturbance."
'It's good to be cautious.' Jin Qianqian understood.
