Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 124: The Tragedy of Qingshan Village (Part 3)
Cheng Beiniu’s anxious eyes looked toward the courtyard direction, and he asked again, "Brother Jia, did your sister really say that?"
Little sobbing Cheng Jia wiped away his tears carelessly and nodded seriously, "That box has been kept in my room for a long time, it’s a secret only my sister and I know. I check it every day before I can sleep peacefully.
Initially, I didn’t know what was inside, but the day sister left, she instructed me to guard the weapon inside the box. Though she didn’t say what kind of weapon it was, if it’s a weapon that sister treasures, I think... it should be no worse than a kitchen knife."
Cheng Jia analyzed earnestly.
The kitchen knife is quite sharp, and he felt sister wouldn’t deceive him.
But that description sounds somewhat unreliable!
Cheng Beiniu was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
He turned and stared into Cheng Jia’s bright eyes, reflecting seriousness and determination under the faint flickering light.
"Alright! We trust you this time, you and Brother Ran must have hidden it well." Cheng Beiniu patted Cheng Jia’s smooth head, giving him a solemn reminder.
Cheng Jia and Cheng Ran nodded together, they promised not to fall behind. Sister had taught them that being no trouble when weak is the best protection for the family.
Cheng Beiniu let go of his worries, pulling his rampaging son, quickly heading toward Cheng Xiaoxiao’s house.
In the courtyard, the Liu Family was heartbroken for the men being beaten, while desperately clutching Dahua’s other arm, trying to hold onto her daughter’s purity.
"I’m begging you, sir, please let my daughter go!"
If her daughter loses her dignity, she would definitely end her own life. She couldn’t allow the villains to take her away, but unfortunately, Liu Family’s pleas were just her wishful thinking.
Huang Yajiu mercilessly twisted Liu Family’s arm.
"You old thing, get lost!"
Ah!
Painfully, Liu Family screamed aloud.
"Mother, mother, are you okay!"
Cheng Dahua was extremely anxious, wanting to help her mother, but was dragged away, angrily she turned to fight the tall and strong man ahead, but her meager strength for Huang Yajiu, the martial master, was just scratching an itch.
The disobedience made Huang Yajiu impatient, so he slung her onto his shoulder, heading toward the nearest dwelling.
"Ah! Let me go, let me go."
The sudden whirl spun Cheng Dahua’s head and vision, realizing her predicament, she continuously pounded the man’s back, loudly shouting, "You devil, Xiuxiu will not spare you when she returns."
Somehow, in her fearful and chaotic mind, Cheng Dahua naturally thought that the one to avenge her wouldn’t be her father or brothers, but her cousin Cheng Xiaoxiao. In her subconscious, Cheng Xiaoxiao was omnipotent, surely able to kill this beast before her.
The Liu Family, writhing on the ground in pain, could only helplessly watch her daughter being carried away, in agony, "No, no! Oh heavens! Please save my daughter!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Not yet recovered from the heartbreak, Liu Family suddenly heard Xiaohua’s cries, looked back to see Xiaohua also being dragged by the bandits.
The bandits wandered in the crowd like picking goods, selecting desired items.
How could this happen, how could this happen, "Xiaohua, Xiaohua, you beast let go of my daughter, you murderous scoundrels, go die, go die."
Liu Family was somewhat deranged, witnessing her elder daughter being ravaged and unable to do anything, now they came to harm her little daughter, Xiaohua was only thirteen!
How could these beasts lay hands on her.
She disregarded all, forgot the stinging pain in her arm, dragging her weary, frail body, using all her might to crash into the bandit, holding onto the idea of mutual destruction, even if unable to harm them significantly, she must at least bite off a piece of flesh.
Over there, Cheng Rong and Chen Hao were defeated by the bandits, Cheng Qiang stepped forward to help, inadvertently saw Liu Family’s frenzy, frightened and trembling, "Don’t, mother of my children!"
Li Qiuchan was harshly slapped, directly tumbling to the ground, a hook-nosed bandit resentfully enduring the kicked pain in his lower part, cursed loudly, "You wretched! I took a fancy to you, it’s your luck, dare to resist, see what I’ll do to you today."
Saying these words, he directly pressed onto Li Qiuchan, controlling her flailing small hand with one hand, while viciously slapping her repeatedly with the other.
Li Qiuchan was scared out of her wits, only instinctively cried out, "Ah Rong, Ah Rong, save me!"
Dalan and Xiaolan quietly came close to the hook-nosed bandit, seizing the moment he was distracted, one vigorously strangled the bandit’s neck, the other jabbed his eyes, causing the hook-nosed bandit to scream loudly, "You nasty women, I’ll kill you!"
The furious hook-nosed bandit drew strength, rapidly exerted force, his body shook, simultaneously bouncing Dalan and Xiaolan away.
Enduring the pain, barely opening a slit in his eyes, he stepped on Xiaolan’s belly. At the critical moment, Cheng Sicheng stabbed his other leg with a knife, Erya quickly pulled Xiaolan away.
The hook-nosed bandit screamed again, clutching his bleeding nonstop leg, burning with rage, he prepared for a slaughter.
Thus, the three girls, along with Cheng Sicheng, all stared vigilantly at the injured hook-nosed bandit, ready to face this beast together.
Such tragic and courageous scenes on the courtyard played out repeatedly, until an arrow shot through the air, piercing directly toward Huang Yajiu carrying Dahua.
The ecstatic Huang Yajiu didn’t expect that the little village within their grasp still had an ambush, he could barely dodge the critical point, the arrow instantly embedded in his shoulder, the injured Huang Yajiu forcefully flung Cheng Dahua toward the direction from where the arrow was shot.
"Ah!"
In the empty mid-air, Cheng Dahua’s scream echoed through the silent night.
Cheng Dashan was startled, hurriedly leapt forward to catch the about-to-fall Dahua, heart still pounding.
Thinking she was about to die, Cheng Dahua suddenly fell into a hard yet warm embrace, utterly confused.
The beauty in arms made Cheng Dashan blush instantly, his eyes darting, not daring to look directly at the girl.
The film-like scene of spinning while holding and exchanging electrifying glances didn’t happen at all, Cheng Dashan stood stiffly, feeling the softness in his hands, stunned in place, completely at a loss.
Only hearing his father’s shout, did he return to his senses.
"Host, this Cheng Dashan is so weak, such a good opportunity."
"How’s my father?"
"Our father’s fine, probably just fainted, still breathing."
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t bother correcting the system’s terminology, anxiously asked, "How long until arrival?"
"Two minutes!"
Impatient Cheng Xiaoxiao was forced to listen to the system narrate the tragedy in Qingshan Village, feeling extremely distressed, silently prayed, faster, faster, thinking every passing second returning, would mean a life saved for the innocent villagers.
Cheng Dashan hurriedly set down Dahua, "Find a place to hide." Hastily reminded, then went to help, after all, the commotion here already caught the bandits’ attention.
"Really interesting, unexpectedly there’s still two stragglers left." Wei Wenxi remarked in surprise.
Beside him, the third-in-command inventorying the supplies, became interested, stepping forward to request, "Big brother, looks like it’s an Inner Strength Warrior. Let me handle those two ignorant fools, daring to confront us with their little martial skill, they’re overestimating themselves."
