108 Chapter 108. Using Xiao Ying as a Shield For Himself

The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were in a mess, and the girls ran toward Su Qing. They only felt safe by her side. Zhong Yong and the rest picked up their hoes and forks, following Ji Shuisheng with a covetous gaze.

Qiu Yue had seen the bandits killing and snatching the girls with her own eyes. Now that all the girls in the village were wearing men’s clothes and she was the only one wearing women’s clothes, wouldn’t she become the target of public criticism?

She was scared to death. She frantically rummaged through her luggage, trying to find her brother’s clothes to wear. However, Qiu Yongkang was tall, and she was petite. The clothes were too big for her to wear.

Qiu Yue saw that the girls were all gathering around Su Qing, so she sneaked up behind Li Shuang’er, afraid that Su Qing would see her.

!!

Su Qing didn’t have time to look at her. The villagers’ weapons were all forks and hoes. What was the use of these things fighting with steel knives?

This time, she didn’t want to extend her hand. She only cared about protecting Xiaoying and the children and didn’t care about anything else. Many people were on the main road, and she would be noticed if she used poison to kill people.

Very quickly, the main road was filled with dust. The refugees ran and stumbled, but they could not outrun the horses. The bandits shouted ” Oh ” and chased after them like they were driving livestock. When they caught up, they would slash down with their knives. After killing a disaster victim, they would laugh loudly.

“I’ve killed twenty. Don’t fall too far behind me.”

The bandits at the back howled and chased after the poor victims of the disaster. He was happy when the bandits’ leader saw the Peach Blossom Cove’s escape team. He raised his bloodied broadsword, revealing his big golden teeth, and shouted to the bandits at the back,

“Brothers, there’s a fat sheep. Kill, kill all the men, and snatch the girls.”

“Aoooooooooooooooooooo …”

The bandits shouted excitedly and rushed over on their horses. Ji Shuisheng shot two arrows simultaneously and shot big golden tooth off his horse. Big golden tooth was initially leading the charge, but after being shot off his horse by Ji Shuisheng, he was quickly trampled by the hooves of his brothers. His body was kicked here and there by the horses like a football.

There was also a Bandit behind him who was shot to death with him. Ji Shuisheng didn’t stop after hitting two people and continued to shoot. However, the speed of the horse was too fast. Before he could shoot the arrow, the bandits had already arrived.

Ji Shuisheng had no choice but to throw his bow and arrows away and charge into the group of horses with his treasured saber.

Zhong Yong and Li Daniu were also fighting with the bandits. Although they were all courageous, there were too many bandits. A portion of the bandits still rushed to the front of the villagers and raised their knives to cut them down, killing anyone they saw.

The villagers were immediately thrown into chaos and ran in all directions. The bandits rushed to the front of the carriage, and the girls were so scared that they hugged each other. Because they wore men’s clothes, the bandits raised their knives and cut them.



The girls cried out in surprise, and the bandit laughed and put away his knife, shouting,

“There are girls here.”

The bandit kept his knife and bent over to grab Qiu Yue.

“Pretty little lady, come with me!”

Qiu Yue screamed as she ran behind Ji Xiaoying. It was safest to hide behind her. She knew that Su Qing would save Ji Xiaoying.

Seeing Ji Xiaoying, the bandit thought she was a man, he raised his knife and slashed at her. Qiu Yue grabbed Ji Xiaoying’s shoulder and hid behind her while screaming. Ji Xiaoying wanted to run, but she could not. She could only watch as the steel knife slashed at her head. She was so scared that she closed her eyes.

The bandit’s knife didn’t fall. Su Qing used the horsewhip to grab it.

Su Qing snatched the knife and began killing the bandits charging at her. He chopped off the bandits ‘heads like he was chopping radishes. Blood and skulls fell in front of the girls’ eyes. Their screams were deafening, and some girls fainted from fear.

Su Qing stood on the carriage. As long as the bandits came over, they could not escape the steel knife in her hand. For a moment, no bandits dared to come over to her side.

Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing had protected Xiao Ying and the children. He, Zhong Yong, and a few others cleared the bandits in front and behind them. The ground was covered with the corpses of the bandits.

The bandits who were not dead saw that they were so powerful and ran away on their horses in fear.

After beating the bandits away, Su Qing grabbed Qiu Yue and kicked and punched her until she screamed. Aunt Qiu ran over and begged her,

“Su Qing, stop, stop.”

First father Qiu had been fighting the bandits with Ji Shuisheng. When he saw Su Qing beating Qiu Yue up, first father Qiu rushed over to save his daughter. When he heard the girl’s cries, he rushed over.

“What is this? Why did you hit her?”

“She used Xiaoying to block the knife.”

Su Qing’s eyes were filled with killing intent. She struck Qiu Yue that she couldn’t cry anymore. She looked at her in fear.

“Su Qing, let her off. She was frightened. I’ll kowtow to you. If you hit her again, she’ll die.”

Aunt Qiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Qing, pleading for mercy for her daughter.

Ji Shuisheng had just come over to see what was going on. When he heard Su Qing’s words and saw his little sister’s pale face, sitting on the cart like a fool with tears on her face, his gaze on Qiu Yue turned cold.

Are you using Xiaoying as a shield?

It was a good thing that men could not hit women. Otherwise, he would have pressed her to the ground and hit her like Su Qing.

When Qiu Yongkang and old master Qiu heard that Su Qing had slapped Qiu Yue because of this, they were too embarrassed to plead for her.

Who wasn’t afraid of death? But even if you’re scared of death, you can’t use someone else as a shield, right?

Su Qing only stopped after Qiu Yue was beaten to the ground with her last breath. Old master Qiu came over and cupped his hands in embarrassment, then asked aunt Qiu to take Qiu Yue away.

Su Qing’s face was frosty. Without even looking at old master Qiu, she jumped into the carriage and went to check on Xiaoying.

Seeing that Xiaoying wasn’t injured, Su Qing felt at ease and asked her softly,

“Are you scared?”

“Yes, sister. Thank you for saving me.”

Xiaoying threw herself into Su Qing’s arms. Her tiny body shook like a sieve, and her hands were ice-cold.

Seeing that his sister was okay, Ji Shuisheng called the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove to carry the bandit’s corpses to the side of the ditch and throw them in for a simple burial. They also seized five or six horses. They were anxious to check what had happened here and did not catch the horses in time, so a few of them ran away.

Before burying the bandits, Li Daniu and Zhong Yong started to search the bodies of the bandits. They took all the money and valuables on the bandits and gave them to Qiu Yongkang.

Qiu Yongkang did a quick count. There were thirteen silver taels, seventy silver notes, and many gold accessories. These were all ill-gotten gains the bandits had obtained from robbing other disaster victims.

On the other side, Li Daniu and a few others dealt with the bandits’ corpses. On the other side, Ji Shuisheng was counting the casualties of the Peach Blossom Cove villagers. There were six to seven people who were injured, and two of them were very seriously injured.





Ji Shuisheng cleaned their wounds. There was still a lot of red medicine left from Su Qing, and he applied it to these people.

Su Qing was in a fit of anger and didn’t care about anyone else. She turned a blind eye to the injured.

The two seriously injured family members ran to Su Qing and knelt to beg her. Su Qing ignored them and stayed there to guard Xiaoying. She gave Xiaoying some medicine to calm her nerves, but her face was still pale.

The few horses they had seized were given to the injured to ride. Qiu Yue, who had been beaten unconscious by Su Qing and could not walk, had to be placed on the horse’s back.

...

Ji Shuisheng saw they were almost done packing up and urged them to hurry. The bandits who had escaped would return to get more troops, and there would still be a tough battle.
