Chapter 148: Chapter 148. The brave Ji Xiaoying
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove, whom Ji Shuisheng had set his eyes on, met with danger. Some disaster victims’ eyes had long turned red with jealousy, but they did not dare to move because of the ironclad Army. The others were running away in a sorry state due to hunger, but they could sit in the carriage with rosy faces.
The armored Army had all withdrawn when they arrived at Su province, but the restless disaster victims could not hold back.
Qiu Yongkang gathered all the villagers together before they entered the city. The men were armed with stone and wooden sticks, standing in a tight formation in case the rioters tried to do something to them.
The iron hammer in Zhong Yong’s hand was not taken away. He was the only one with a decent weapon and looked fierce. Those thugs waiting for an opportunity did not dare to attack from his side, so they targeted the North, which Jiang Laoqi was guarding.
There were about a dozen thugs gathered together, all holding wooden sticks, vegetable knives, and axes as weapons. The leader was a bandit who knew martial arts. The nature of bandits was to rob. Even if the mountain stronghold was gone, dogs could not change their habit of eating shit.
If they wanted to rob, they had to rob the big families. The Peach Blossom Cove refugee team became fat sheep in their eyes. They had carriages and horses, so they must have money. They could live for half a month after robbing once.
The bandits led the way to the North, and dozens of people came out of the forest by the roadside and rushed toward the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove.
…..
Jiang Laoqi panicked when he saw the dozens of people coming up. He shouted for Zhong Yong and brought three strong men from Peach Blossom Cove to fight with these dozens of people. Ji Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er were in the North and were frightened when they saw the dozens of thugs.
Seeing that seventh brother Jiang and the other two were no match for those people; Ji Xiaoying shouted to her sisters, “Let’s help too.”
Her weapon was a horsewhip. After seeing her sister use the horsewhip to whip the horse market’s tyrant, she would practice it in her free time. Su Qing saw that she liked it and gave her some pointers on how to hit vital parts. Because Xiaoying did not know martial arts, she could only prevent the other party from hurting her by hitting their vital parts.
The other girls picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the thugs. Qiu Yongkang usually asked the girls and women to throw stones. Although they couldn’t play a decisive role, they could still mess up the other side in critical moments.
With the girls’ help, the pressure on seventh brother Jiang and the others was significantly reduced. However, there were too many people on the other side. Their heads were bleeding from the beating. Some thugs had already broken through their defense and started to snatch the carriages and property of Peach Blossom Cove.
Fresh girls were cooked after sleeping, and the meat was tender and fragrant. When the girls saw them rushing in, they screamed in fear. When they heard that they were girls in men’s clothes, the thugs were even happier.
Ji Xiaoying stood on the carriage. When she saw someone trying to grab Li Shuang’er, she whipped the man’s eyes. Sister Su Qing had said that the eyes were the weakest part of the human body, so she was impatient and merciless. She whipped the thug’s eyes out, causing him to cry in pain and roll on the ground while covering his eyes.
Ji Xiaoying was even more confident after her first hit. She quickly waved her whip and whipped the thugs charging at her. She blinded three thugs in a row and attracted the leader’s attention.
He knew martial arts, so he took advantage of the moment Ji Xiaoying was about to hit him with the axe and jumped up, aiming for her head.
“Xiaoying.”
When Madam Li saw that Xiaoying was in danger, she pushed her away without caring about her safety and used her body as a shield for Xiaoying. After Xiaoying was pushed away, she was hit by an axe in her shoulder. Blood flowed like a river at that time, and she fainted from the pain.
“Godmother,”
Xiaoying was pushed down under the carriage. She watched helplessly as her godmother took an axe for her. Her heart ached so much that it broke. She got up and rushed over, holding Madam Li, who had fallen off the carriage, in her arms.
“Still a little girl?”
The leader of the thugs heard Xiaoying’s music and looked at her beautiful face, his heart itching. “Good, wild enough; I like it.”
Ji Xiaoying hated this bad guy who killed her godmother. He grabbed Xiaoying’s wrist to pull her into his arms. When he came over to grab her and bent down, she quickly grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and threw it at his eyes.
The leader of the thugs thought he could catch Xiaoying in one go, but he was caught off guard and covered in dirt. His eyes were immediately blinded, and he screamed in pain, instructing the other thugs to catch Xiaoying.
“Catch this woman, catch her; I’m going to kill her.”
“I’ll fight it out with you guys.”
Ji Xiaoying picked up the whip again and jumped onto the carriage to wave it at the thugs. For a moment, the thugs were unable to get close to her. The grief and anger in her heart turned into strength, and the whip whistling through the air could be heard.
“Mother!”
Zhong Yong heard the noise and ran over from the South. He shouted and rushed over with his axe, hacking at the thugs. Seeing his mother lying on the ground covered in blood, Zhong Yong’s eyes turned red.
Zhong Yong had been learning from Ji Shuisheng for some time now, and he was no longer as reckless as he used to be when he didn’t know martial arts. He swung his two axes like a tiger, and those thugs were cut down and bled all over the ground one after another. They were terrified of Zhong Yong from the bottom of their hearts, and when they saw him coming over, they didn’t even have the mood to resist and ran away.
“Second brother, he was the one who injured godmother.”
Ji Xiaoying pointed at the leader of the thugs, who was covering his eyes and trying to escape, and shouted at Zhong Yong. Once Zhong Yong heard that this kid was the one who hurt his mother, he went crazy and came over with an axe to chop this kid into pieces, decapitating him.
Seeing that Zhong Yong was so ruthless, the other thugs didn’t dare to continue fighting after their leader had been killed. They only wished their parents had given them two more legs to run faster than rabbits.
Jiang Laoqi and the other three had blood all over their heads and were already exhausted. Seeing that Zhong Yong was here to rescue them, they could rest assured and faint.
“Mother, mother.”
After Zhong Yong had chased the group of people away, he hugged Madam Li and started wailing.
“Second brother, I’ll help godmother bandage it.”
Seeing that her godmother’s shoulder was still bleeding, Ji Xiaoying tore off her clothes and anxiously called out to Zhong Yong.
“Ah? Bag, hurry, and pack.”
Zhong Yong’s face was covered in tears. When he heard Ji Xiaoying’s words, he hurriedly put his mother down and looked helplessly at Ji Xiaoying,
“Xiaoying, please save my mother. I won’t let her die. If she dies, Yong’er will lose his mother.
“Godmother won’t die.”
Ji Xiaoying’s hands trembled as she looked at the bloody wound on her godmother’s shoulder. The wound was so deep that the bone could be seen, and blood flowed non-stop.
Ji Xiaoying’s tears flowed like a spring when she thought of how her godmother had suffered such a severe injury to save her. Her hands trembled as she helped her godmother bandage her wound, but there was no hemostatic, and only the thin lapel of her clothes could not stop the blood from flowing.
Ji Xiaoying panicked. How could a person who was bleeding like this survive? She pressed hard on her wound with both hands and shouted at Li Shuang’er, who was at a loss,
“Sister Shuang’er, I have some hemostatic medicine left by sister Su Qing in my bag. Hurry and bring it over.”
Li Shuang’er agreed and climbed into the carriage. She was hurrying to find the red medicine that Su Qing had left behind.
Their attention was on Madam Li, and neither noticed that Qiu Yue had run away..
