Chapter 75 Distress 2
There were only about twenty guards in Yin Mansion. In front of so many hungry people who had lost their minds, Chen Lu, who was driving the carriage at a very fast speed, had to slow down.
The guards of Yin Mansion did not dare to kill the victims with knives. If they brought any disaster to Yin Mansion, they would be blamed for it. Therefore, they could only behave conservatively and submissively, and only when they encountered hungry people who were not afraid of death and rushed forward, were they able to beat them back with the hilt of the sword. The men who rushed out of the crowd, holding sticks in their hands, kept hitting the carriage.
When Chen Lu saw that something was wrong, he immediately used his sword to cut the rope in the middle of the carriage, separating the horse and the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Nanny Zhou protected Yin Zijin tightly and kept comforting her: "Don't be afraid, young lady. I have lived for decades and am not afraid of death. I will definitely protect you..."
Before he could finish, the carriage crashed to the ground with a thud. Shen Lu used his sword to block the hungry people who kept rushing towards the carriage, and said anxiously: "Girl, come out. I will ride a horse to take you out. This won't work. Those hungry people don't want to die."
Yin Zijin was hit hard, and his already weak and injured body was even worse, with stars in his eyes. Before she could react, Nanny Zhou pushed Yin Zijin out and said anxiously, "Chenlu, hurry up and take the Sixth Miss away. If the Sixth Miss is alive, you will be rich and prosperous. If the Sixth Miss dies, you will be buried with her."
Chen Lu took Yin Zijin from Madam Zhou's arms, climbed onto the horse swiftly, and said, "Madam Zhou, Aunt Wang, there are still three horses. Please take good care of yourselves."
Having said that, Chen Lu didn't want Yin Zijin to see such a hell on earth, so he turned Yin Zijin to face his body, and then he rode the horse, resisting the victims while rushing forward flexibly and quickly.
Yin Zijin could feel the black and white switching in front of her eyes. She was wearing a veil and the words she was about to say were taken away by the galloping horse. She had to swallow her words: "Is Madam Zhou so kind? She protected me, bound my feet and chest, and had a share of the green wormwood. What kind of person is Madam Zhou..."
Unconsciously, the black horse was running faster and faster. Yin Zijin suddenly heard Chenlu groaning, and the wet liquid on his back kept flowing onto the back of Yin Zijin's hand. Yin Zijin couldn't help it anymore, so she threw the white veil on her head to the ground, looked at her red hands, and asked worriedly: "Chenlu, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
Chen Lu shook his head and said, "Miss, please don't talk. There are refugees on the road. We are not out of danger yet. I have been injured much more seriously before. It's not a big deal."
The horse galloped for a long time, until it lay down after surviving the ordeal, then Chen Lu easily landed on the ground holding Yin Zijin. At this moment, the sun had set and night had fallen. There was no one around and it was completely silent except for the sounds of cicadas and crickets, which kept screaming and making people feel annoyed.
Putting Yin Zijin on the ground, Chen Lu quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Miss, I have offended you, please bear with me. You are weak, even though it is summer, you still need to find a place to shelter from the wind to spend the night."
Yin Zijin nodded, and as he was about to help Chenlu up, he said, "Okay, Chenlu. Chenlu, you are injured..."
Chen Lu didn't dare to have any contact with Yin Zijin anymore. The moment Yin Zijin stretched out her hand, he stood up and said, "Miss, my injury is fine. Miss, your body is precious. You should avoid suspicion with men in the future. If you break the rules, I am afraid that you will have a harder time in the future. Let's go now!"
