Chapter 284 Bluffing with a Joker

Seeing those people coming with knives, Liu Mao stood up immediately and subconsciously moved closer to the cave, staring at the people who were approaching.

When those people were halfway there, they suddenly stopped and turned to look at the cave next to them. That was the cave where Liu Mao stayed. It was relatively narrow and not as big as the cave where Ning Ji and the others stayed.

There are many such caves in the nearby valleys, some large and some small, but this cave is closest to Ning Ji, making him feel a little safer.

The cave is very shallow. Standing outside and looking at the bottom, you can see a lot of things stored in the cave. There are also two horses tied to the big tree next to it.

Seeing these things, a glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of those people. The main reason they came here was because they saw two horses here, and there were not many people, only three people, so it was relatively easy for them to deal with them.

Tao Jin and others in the distance saw this and stared at this side closely. This time, they became the ones watching the fun. In fact, they also wanted to see how capable these people were. What methods did they use to intimidate the wolves before, or were the wolves not afraid of these people at all?

The men walked over to the horses, reached out and touched them, and found that they were good horses. They just happened to be short of horses, although there were only two.

"Take your dirty hands off me! Go back! Otherwise I won't be polite!"

Liu Mao shouted loudly. This time he did not take out a knife, but took out a small cloth bag, took out a black wooden sign from it, and pointed it at those people as if he was holding a sharp weapon.

He couldn't beat them alone, so he could only threaten them first, hoping that Ning Ji would come out to help. At the same time, he also took the joker card given by Ning Ji, just in case.

Although he had never used it before, he had heard of the Joker card before. It was strange and effective, but rare. When Ning Ji gave it to him two days ago, he was very excited. Now that he saw these people coming over to plot against him, he suddenly remembered to use it.

Sure enough, the man standing in the front saw what he was holding, his pupils shrank, and he stared at Liu Mao warily. But a few people behind him who didn't know the value of the item said, "Huh~ You idiot, how do you want to be so rude? Are you going to hit us with that wooden sign in your hand?"

As soon as the words fell, they started laughing, but were suddenly scolded by the leader, "Shut up!"

Several people were stunned for a moment, and then they saw the boss staring at the man in front of him and said, "What grade of joker card do you have? Why are you so confident?"

Ghost card?

When they heard this, they were shocked. They didn't expect that this was the thing he was holding in his hand!

Those who were listening attentively in the distance were also surprised when they heard this, and then stared at the thing in Liu Mao's hand with vigilance.

When Liu Mao saw their alert and fearful expressions, he suddenly felt less nervous. He raised his head slightly and looked at them, "Huh~ It seems that there are still some people who know what they are doing. If I am not so confident, you will know if you try~"

As he spoke, he shook the joker card in his hand, which frightened the man so much that he quickly retreated far away and stood in the sunlight.

Seeing this, the other people were stunned for a moment, and then they quickly retreated far away, staring at Liu Mao vigilantly.

Seeing this, Liu Mao almost laughed out loud. This thing really works. He hadn't even used it yet, but it had already scared people away!

"Don't think we're afraid of you just because you have this thing! It's broad daylight now, don't dare to show that damn thing in your hand so easily!"

Although the leading man was a little afraid, he still glared. He had some understanding of the Peach Cake of the Ghost Card and knew that there were many restrictions on its use during the day.

Liu Mao was a little nervous. What this man said was indeed right. It was useless, especially under the scorching sun. Ning Ji had also told him about some taboos in its use before. Although it could be used during the day, it was limited to a cool place, and the effect was definitely not as good as at night.

But looking at the open space they were standing in, and then at the shady woods surrounding them, he smiled again, "If you have the guts, just stand in the sun. Once you step out, I'll see if I dare you to use it!"

Seeing Liu Mao still looking fearless, several people's faces turned pale. They had never seen anyone use jokers to kill people. At most, they had heard of it and did not know much about it. They did not dare to take the risk.

The leading man gritted his teeth and finally gave up the idea of ​​robbing. "Okay! We won't attack you. Just leave, okay?"

Liu Mao curled his lips. This time, there was no need for Ning Ji to come out for help. A simple scare had really frightened the person. He looked at the dazzling sunlight and thought about it, so he gave up.

"get out!"

Hearing Liu Mao's arrogant tone, they were furious, but because they were afraid of the joker in his hand, they swallowed their anger and retreated slowly and cautiously.

One of the reasons they were afraid of the joker card in Liu Mao's hand was that if they really took action, they would not necessarily be afraid of him, as they could kill the person as quickly as possible, but they were afraid that if they did so, the things in the joker card might come out. In addition, the two people in the cave would also come out. Who knew what other tricks those two people had up their sleeves?

If you suffer a great loss just for such a small thing, it would be really not worth it.

Liu Mao watched them retreat to their destination in the distance, then carefully put the joker card into the small cloth bag. He sighed again in his heart, this thing really works!

On the other side, Tao Jin and others stared at Liu Mao's small cloth bag thoughtfully, discussed in low voices, and looked at Liu Mao with more vigilance.

In the cave, Ning Ji and Si He heard the noise outside and were not surprised at all. Si He originally wanted to go out, but when she heard Liu Mao using the joker cards to scare people, she gave up.

"Husband, why did you give the joker to Liu Mao?"

She lay on the blanket and let Ning Ji give her acupuncture. At this time, several silver needles were already inserted into her head. It didn't hurt, but it did feel slightly numb, like being bitten by an ant.

Ning Ji focused on the movements of his hands, gently turning the silver needle, and replied: "We need more ways to save his life so that he won't be killed so easily. He can still be of some use. You don't have to do everything yourself."

"Oh, that's good." She blinked, and as Ning Ji's hands moved, she felt gradually sleepy.

Ning Dao asked, "Are you sleepy?"

She said, “A little bit.”

He withdrew his hand, looked at her face, and said softly, "Then sleep for a while."

"Okay." She responded and closed her eyes.

The cave was quiet and silent, and there was a candle burning on the ground, so it was not too dark.

After a while, Si He fell asleep. However, because there were still silver needles stuck in her head, her breathing was shallow at this time, and she was not as breathless as before. She finally looked like a normal person.

Ning Ji looked at her quietly for a while, then gently took her pulse. After a while, he withdrew his hand, blew out the candle, lay down beside her, closed his eyes and rested.
