The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl-Chapter 363 - 359: Reinforcements_1

Chapter 363: Chapter 359: Reinforcements_1

Someone’s half face was cut off, wailing incessantly.

Yingbao covered him with Quintuple Mushroom’s juice with trembling hands, then bandaged him up with cotton cloth.

There were too many severely wounded, Yingbao used up dozens of Quintuple Mushrooms in just one day.

Fortunately, the Quintuple Mushrooms on her Immortal Cave House were thriving, otherwise they would have run out.

By the afternoon of the second day, the number of injured people continued to increase. Mrs. Zhang brought two concubines and their children.

She took out some silver taels and several patched clothes to give to them.

“Take this silver, in case the city falls, change into these clothes and go escape.”

The two concubines fell to their knees, crying and shaking their heads: “Madam, we are not going anywhere. We live as members of the Zhang family, and if we die, we die as the Zhang family ghosts. You cannot drive us away.”

The illegitimate daughters also knelt down, crying and saying, “Mother, our fate is with you and my sister. We are also father’s daughters. If the city falls, we will follow father and mother to death.”

Mrs. Zhang helped them up, wiped her tears. “If that’s the case, go back to your room. Take this silver and clothes, just in case… just in case the city can’t hold on, I hope you can survive.”

The concubines and the illegitimate daughters left crying.

Mrs. Zhang then called her own daughter and eldest daughter-in-law from the Chui family.

Chui had been pregnant for a while, and she looked a bit pale and haggard.

Mrs. Zhang asked her to sit down, and began to recount their many past events in Beijing.

Chui and Zhang Xuehua listened quietly without a word.

At this time, Yingbao was in the house trying to teleport her brother to her Immortal Cave House.

She held her brother’s hand and silently initiated the transfer.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared inside the Immortal Cave House. Her brother, Jiang Wu, looked around in astonishment. “What… what is this place?”

“Immortal Cave House,” Yingbao didn’t have time to explain, she left him inside and teleported out again.

She went to the guest room next door to find Huzi, grabbed his hand and said, “Close your eyes, I’ll take you to a place. Remember, don’t open your eyes without my permission.”

Huzi didn’t understand, but he obediently nodded his head.

As Yingbao initiated the teleportation, she entered the Immortal Cave House.

She looked to her side, but didn’t see Huzi.

Yingbao was startled, she quickly teleported out and saw Huzi standing in his room, eyes closed, muttering, “Are we there yet? I’m going to open my eyes!”

With a frown, Yingbao grabbed his arm and said, “Not yet, keep your eyes closed.”

“Okay,” Huzi obediently closed his eyes.

Yingbao once again attempted to teleport to the Immortal Cave House, but Huzi still did not appear.

This was strange.

Yingbao didn’t give up, she tried several more times, but it remained the same.

It seemed that she really couldn’t bring Huzi into her Immortal Cave House.

What should she do?

At this point, Yingbao was panicked too.

If she couldn’t bring Huzi into the Immortal Cave House, that meant she couldn’t bring Mrs. Zhang and the others either.

She had promised her second master that she would save his mother and sister, how would this look?

Huzi slightly opened one eye, saw his little niece anxiously staring at him, he quickly closed it again.

“Okay, you can open your eyes now,” Yingbao patted Huzi.

Huzi chuckled, relieved to see that his niece wasn’t angry. He asked, “Did you have me close my eyes to surprise me with something yummy?”

From her bag, Yingbao took out an apple and handed it to him. “Rest well; there’s a tough battle ahead tomorrow.” After saying that, she turned and left the room.

From behind her, Huzi asked, “Where’s Jiang Wu?”

Without turning her head, Yingbao replied, “He’s busy, he’ll be back soon.”

Once back in her own room, Yingbao went into Immortal Cave House again.

She found Jiang Wu, who was fixated on a sphere of light, and said, “Xiaowu, after you go out don’t tell anyone about this.”

“Okay.” Jiang Wu was already nine years old and well understood the gravity of the situation.

He wouldn’t tell anyone about his sister’s secret.

“Mom and Dad know about this too,” Yingbao continued. “They planted these.”

She pointed to a few large water barrels by the pool. “Dad also raised a lot of fish, all reaching a foot long. There are also shrimps in those barrels, which can be caught and eaten in a little while.”

Jiang Wu had already seen the fish and shrimp, and was not interested in them. He pointed to the glowing sphere and said, “Sister, I think I’ve seen that somewhere before.”

Yingbao looked over, “Where have you seen it?”

Jiang Wu shook his head, “I can’t remember.”

As soon as he came in, he had noticed the glowing sphere and felt exceedingly familiar with it, but he couldn’t pinpoint why.

Yingbao tried to solve his confusion: “Maybe you’re thinking it looks like the sun, so you think you’ve seen it before.”

“It’s not.” Jiang Wu squinted and observed carefully, shook his head and said, “This doesn’t look like the sun, it looks like a human eyeball.”

Yingbao frowned, “An eyeball?”

If you look closely at the pool in the cave house, it did in fact resemble a gargantuan eye.

But whose eye would be so big? It must be the eye of a Heavenly God.

Many myths describe the Heavenly Gods as being a hundred feet tall, with hands like giant peaks and eyes like the rising sun.

Did they really encounter an Immortal?

No, they just found an Immortal’s eye.

Or perhaps this cave house is the brain shell of a Heavenly God.

Upon this thought, Yingbao couldn’t help but shudder.

“The ancestors of the Three Pure Ones and the Master Lingbao above, I, your believer Jiang Yingbao mean no disrespect, and I promise never to wash my feet in your eye again.”

“Sister, what did you say?” Jiang Wu heard his sister murmuring and leaned in doubtfully, “Where are you washing your feet?”

Yingbao closed her mouth in silence.

She took her younger brother on a tour around the cave house, she originally didn’t want to let him out, but Jiang Wu insisted on going out with her.

Because, he was scared being alone.

After sending her brother back to Huzi’s room, Yingbao began to worry.

If they can’t defend the city, how would she save Huzi and Mrs. Zhang?

After considerating every possibility, she had only one solution, to prevent the Barbarian Bandits from breaking in.

The next day, the battle had intensify.

Many bandits broke into the city and killed everyone in sight.

In a short time, the people scattered and fled.

But most of them gathered together bravely to counter the Bandits.

Standing on the city wall, blooding all over, Governor Zhang looked down at the swarm of bandits rushing into the city, his heart cold.

In the end, they couldn’t defend it?

His family and the city’s people, were they all going to die tragically today?

He suddenly felt regret, regretting that he did not resign.

His wife, daughters, and sons would lose their lives because of him.

“Father!”

The elder son, covered in blood, shouted aloud, “Father! The reinforcements have arrived! That’s our Daqian army!”

Governor Zhang was stunned, immediately ran to the parapet and looked down.

He saw a large array of fluttering colorful flags, rows of cavalry were galloping towards them.

The flag was emblazoned with the word “Zhou”.

Not only was there “Zhou”, but also “Zhong” and “Xiao”.

At this moment, old Governor Zhang was brimming with tears.

Zhou Wuchang had arrived!

He really came!

Previously, Governor Zhang had not only sent a plea for help to Lin County but also sent a desperate letter to Zhou Wuchang, hoping he could bring rescuers.

After all, Zhou Wuchang had been defending Jingzhou for over a decade, and the surrounding military camps were filled with his troops.

“Brothers! Our reinforcements have arrived!”

The Zhang brothers, Zhang Wen and Zhang Min, shouted to their soldiers, “Hold on, the reinforcements have already reached the city gate!”

The dwindling morale of the soldiers suddenly surged, they seemed invigorated, shouting as they charged towards the bandits: “Charge!”
