With weapons in hand, they launched a new counterattack. In addition, Ruan Ruan and Huo Haojie beheaded the general. Seeing that their firepower was fierce and they had reinforcements, the enemy did not stop charging forward too aggressively.

This gave them a good opportunity to retreat.

Ruan Ruan, Huo Haojie, and Huo Haocheng brought up the rear, while the others carried the wounded and ran forward quickly.

"Put me down quickly!" At first, Ruan Shaoke didn't notice, but now he felt that Bai Sirui's arm and shoulder were bleeding.

"Bai Sirui, put me down right now!"

Seeing that he kept ignoring what he was saying and kept walking forward, Ruan Shaoke, who was already in a lot of pain, didn't know whether it was from the pain or because he didn't want to see him like this, and he fell backward. Fortunately, Ruan Shaohong was following behind them, and when he saw his younger brother like this, he immediately caught him.

"Do you still want your arm? I'm injured, but I'm not crippled. I can still walk by myself."

Seeing that he remained silent, Ruan Shaoke was very anxious. He knew that he couldn't argue with him at this critical moment, but he just didn't want to see him not taking care of himself. If they were really facing a life-or-death situation, it would be one thing if he didn't take care of himself, but now that they were alright, he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he was still like this.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Ruan Shaohong assumed that he was upset because Bai Sirui was injured and he had to carry him. So he didn't say anything. Since they were still trapped, he put the gun in Ruan Shaoke's hand, went forward to stop the bleeding for Bai Sirui, and then carried Ruan Shaoke on his back and started walking forward.

Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng, who were following behind them, understood what the two were thinking, but now was not the time to comfort them. Huo Haocheng stepped forward, pulled Bai Sirui who was still standing, and followed them.

The system had now returned to Ruan Ruan's shoulder, acting as her eyes, and would alert her whenever it saw someone approaching within her firing range.

"biu, biu, biu"

After the gunshot, those people dared not go forward anymore.

Soon, they arrived at the border, where A-Jie had already moored the boat on the shore.

Previously, when Ruan Ruan and Huo Haojie first picked them up, they asked Lin Qingyuan and Ruan Shaolin to protect Gu Wencheng and Gu Jingyan as they came over, while the others went back to meet them. So when A-Jie saw the four of them coming over, he checked that no one was following behind them, then steered the boat over. After confirming their identities, he let them board the boat first and then steered the boat back into the sea.

After observing for a while, seeing that Ruan Ruan was bringing them over, they immediately steered their boat over.

Uncle A-Jie

"Quickly, everyone get on the boat!"

After Ruan Ruan called out to him and made sure he was alright, they boarded the boat. Once everyone was on board, A-Jie quickly set sail for the other side.

Those who had been following them ran out after they left, and then erupted in a helpless rage at the coastline.

In this sea area, the distance between the two shores is only a few kilometers. After boarding the ship, Ruan Ruan immediately checked Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui's injuries. The bullets in their bodies needed to be removed immediately, but at this time on the ship, there was not enough time, and the ship was too swaying, so the conditions did not allow it.

Ruan Ruan immediately ran to A Jie and explained the current situation.

"It seems we'll have to go back to your grandfather's place first."

"Don't worry, your Grandpa Ming already knows about you. He just prefers to avoid trouble and never gets involved in these things. We'll go over tonight, rest for a while, and leave after you finish the surgery. He won't say anything."

"Okay, that's the only way for now."

Huo Haocheng, who had been following Ruan Ruan, listened to their conversation and didn't know what to ask. His worst-case scenario was that they would cross this sea with their injuries, but to everyone's surprise, his wife and brother appeared like divine soldiers and arranged all the escape routes for them.

"daughter in law"

Huo Haocheng held Ruan Ruan's hand and called her softly.

"I'll tell you the specifics when I get back. For now, just follow me."

She felt that given Huo Haocheng's inquisitive nature and tendency to ask her questions about what had happened over the past two weeks, she couldn't explain it to him in just a few words. So she decided to wait until they were back in China and safe before discussing it further.

"good"

Hearing her say that, he didn't ask any more questions. Just as she said, they would talk about it when they got back, since they weren't completely safe yet.

Back in the cabin, Huo Haojie had already distributed the food and water they had prepared to them.

Upon seeing the two return, they were all curious as to why Ruan Ruan and Huo Haojie had suddenly appeared with so many weapons.

As their representative, Ruan Shaohong cautiously asked, at their prompting glances, "Little sister, can we ask who that uncle outside is? And why did you suddenly appear here?"

They all saw how well Ruan Ruan and Huo Haojie used their guns. They traveled a long way to save your life, so you can't question them.

"You can just call the man outside Uncle Jie. He's someone my master once saved, and he's someone my master left for me in S country. As for why we're here, it's because we were worried about you, so we came to check on you."

Faced with her older brother's question, Ruan Ruan knew they were all very curious, but she could only give a brief answer. She couldn't very well say, "I knew the future and came here specifically to save you." So, she could only give a simple answer and move on with it in a sentence or two.
