The bandits outside had already surrounded the courtyard completely. The archer hid in the shadows, his fingers tightly gripping the bowstring, aiming at the door.
If the boss comes out first, everything will be fine. If it's Chu Jinjin, we'll shoot first and then talk.
But in either case, I never imagined the door would fly up into the sky.
It really flew into the sky.
There is no shortage of wood in the mountains. Doors made of good wood are turned into paper kites, making a loud bang as they fly at least ten meters away, skimming the treetops.
With their leader kidnapped, the bandits were extremely anxious, the atmosphere tense, and they were all startled by the sudden loud noise.
An archer instinctively drew his bow and released an arrow.
He was a renowned archer in the mountain stronghold, capable of hitting a target from a hundred paces away. This arrow was aimed straight at Chu Jinjin's heart!
The sound of something cutting through the air whistled past. Everything happened in an instant. By the time he could see that the leader behind Jinjin was completely unharmed, it was already too late.
At such close range, even a nimble cheetah in the mountains would have difficulty escaping.
However, the arrow he thought would hit its mark stopped just before it reached Chu Jinjin's chest, as it was caught by a hand.
Chu Jinjin supported her father behind her with one hand, and with the other hand, which moved so fast it was almost invisible, she caught the arrow.
At that moment, Jie Du shouted, "Don't do it!"
He could command the bandits, but he couldn't stop Chu Jinjin.
Chu Jinjin threw the arrow in her hand with lightning speed.
The archer let out a scream and fell from the top of the tree, his fate unknown.
Immediately afterwards, the hidden weapon pouch that Chu Jinjin had always carried finally came in handy. This time, instead of flying needles, it was throwing darts with even greater destructive power.
She doesn't need to pinpoint locations at all; her post-apocalyptic training has given her a radar-like awareness of danger.
The so-called archers in this world are far inferior to snipers.
Five darts were thrown in succession, followed by five screams.
None of the five archers who occupied the line of sight escaped.
The scene was deathly silent!
Everyone could see it clearly, but Chu Jinjin didn't even raise her head, as if she knew someone was hiding there.
They thought they were taking it very seriously, but they still underestimated it.
Despite having a large number of people and various weapons, they felt completely uncertain about their chances of success.
"Stop right there!" Jie Du rushed forward to block Chu Jinjin before she could make another move. "Everyone, step back!"
He wasn't worried about Chu Jinjin getting hurt; he was worried about his subordinates.
Especially the sharpshooters, they are all elites selected from hundreds, there are only so many of them, and every one that dies is one less.
Jie Du was closest to him, and he felt a chill run down his spine, as if a ferocious beast with bared fangs was standing behind him!
Chu Jinjin slowly released the dart from her hand, her voice icy cold and devoid of any warmth: "The carriage!"
Her medical skills were limited to bandaging wounds, but she was familiar with the taste of death.
She could feel her father's life fading away little by little.
We must find the best doctor as soon as possible!
The closest place is Jinzhou, but given the current situation, going there would inevitably attract the attention of the government.
Anyone who dares to stand in her way will be killed.
Kill without mercy.
***
Chu Family Medical Clinic is arguably the most popular in the capital, with fair prices and excellent medical skills. Unfortunately, it is so popular that there are often long queues.
At 3:45 AM, the young apprentice slowly pushed open the door. He was already used to this kind of scene and shouted familiarly, "Everyone, please don't push. Please come in on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have an urgent illness, please raise your hand so you can be seen first."
The rest of the conversation was drowned out by the rumbling of the carriage.
A carriage looked startled; the horses were covered in sweat and charged straight toward the clinic.
The patients were so frightened that they quickly hid to the side.
The horse's forelegs were lifted high by the reins, and then a young woman jumped into the carriage.
The woman's hair was disheveled, and her clothes, though made of fine silk, were wrinkled and stained with bright red blood.
Are you injured?
The young apprentice thought so too, and what was originally intended to be a reprimand turned into a rush over to help.
It was only then that I realized the woman looked somewhat familiar, like...
As a medicine boy, he had visited the Chu family mansion once before Chu Jinjin's wedding to deliver valuable medicines, and had the good fortune to meet Chu Jinjin once. Although it was only once, it left a deep impression on him.
She is the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family.
Of course, he also knew about Chu Jinjin's trip to Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold.
Everyone in the capital knows it.
Is it just that they look alike?
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I saw the woman carefully push open the car door and carry out an unconscious middle-aged man.
If he doesn't even know his employer, then he's worked for nothing.
The young apprentice felt a chill rising from the top of his head.
The boss was clearly kidnapped by Black Hawk Mountain Stronghold, so how did he end up here?
He forgot to help, and couldn't even speak: "Master?"
The people around initially thought it was an emergency and gathered around to see what was going on. Now, some of them recognized the person.
"Boss Chu, it looks like Boss Chu, what happened to him?"
"Ah, that's the third young lady of the Chu family. I just met her a few days ago when we set off."
"Thank God, they really rescued them."
The young apprentice finally realized what was happening and stumbled inside, shouting, "Help! Master is back! Something's happened to Master!"
The doctor in the clinic heard the commotion outside and came out. He immediately recognized Chu Zujian, whom Chu Jinjin was holding. Without even greeting him, he quickly checked Chu Zujian's pulse and loudly ordered the apprentice, "Go to the pharmacy and get the century-old ginseng slices."
Chu Jinjin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She watched as her father was carried into the clinic, her body went limp, and she almost sat down on the ground.
An older woman helped her up: "Miss Chu, are you alright?"
Chu Jinjin waved her hand, took a deep breath, and in a short while, her energy seemed to return.
The medicine boy ran back, this time accompanied by a female doctor.
The principle of men and women not touching each other, especially in public, shows that the consideration was very thorough.
Then he saw Chu Jinjin take out a crystal-clear jade seal.
The apprentice swallowed hard, "Third...Third Miss."
"Take this and send word that Father has returned." Chu Jinjin hadn't been to her family's clinic many times, but she knew there were servants specifically assigned to guard it. Her voice was low but firm. "Also, bring the Second Young Master here. If anyone dares to stop us, tie them up too, even if it's the First Madam."
The young apprentice trembled with fear: "Third Miss, do you mean to bring the Second Young Master here by kidnapping?"
Chu Jinjin didn't speak, but gave him a deep look.
If she weren't currently too weak and worried about her father's safety, she would have gone to his door in person long ago.
Three years after transmigrating to this world, Chu Jinjin, who was cold and only knew how to survive in the apocalypse, gradually softened.
With a father and mother, there is something to worry about.
