I am the Odd One Out Chapter 45

Gu Yimin seemed to regard himself as the overall leader of various militia groups. He summoned the leaders of various militia groups to a meeting in Xizhen to study the suppression of bandits. He said that now that the people are excited, they should attack bandits with all their strength. In the future, militia groups will no longer just defend the city, but should take the initiative. So whenever there was a bandit situation, Gu Yimin personally led a militia group out of the city to suppress the bandits. In three months, Gu Yimin never tired of it and went out of the city thirteen times. Although he did not encounter bandits, the vigilante group became more and more powerful. Unlike Zhu Bochong, who took the lead, Gu Yimin still acted like the president of the Chamber of Commerce when he went out to suppress bandits. He usually carried a four-carrying sedan when he went out. In order to boost morale when he went out to suppress bandits, he would ride in an eight-carrying sedan. In the summer, when a big sedan carrying eight carriages paraded through the market, there was a militia soldier on each side holding a fan, fanning him in the sedan as he walked. When he came out of the sedan, an oilcloth umbrella was opened behind him to protect him from the scorching sun.

In the battle of Xizhen, Zhang Yishao lost half of his troops and his generals. Several groups of bandits such as Shui Diao and Leo Linpard Li also led the remnants of their troops to break away from Zhang Yishao, and each of them pulled them out to start robbing on the road again.

There were less than 20 bandits under Zhang Yaxu. He knew that he could not achieve great things with these 20 guns, so he began to recruit soldiers in the Wanmusudang area and forced the people to join the bandits. When Zhang Yixu debuted, he robbed cargo ships, so that there were no cargo ships on the Wanmudang water, and the wealthy households in Wanmudang villages also moved away. Zhang Yisha originally looked down on these villages that no longer had much oil and water. After losing to Xi Town, He revived the idea of     these villages, and on this day he led the bandits to Qijia Village where Charlie Chen's family lived.

The gangsters walked in random directions from the rice fields, holding long knives in their hands, chopping the rice randomly as they walked. The villagers felt heartbroken when they saw the rice that was about to be harvested being hacked by bandits, but no one dared to speak. Only the vigorous Chen Yaowu shouted at the bandits:

"Are you people eating grain or eating grass? Why are you cutting rice?"
