Chapter 4 Space
Ling Jinsui never thought that he would find Grandpa Ling under such circumstances.
What she didn't expect was that Grandpa Ling's situation was even worse than hers!
Also, when did Grandpa Ling become a Taoist priest?
Of course, these doubts are not important at the moment. The most important thing is how to rescue Grandpa Ling from these bandits? Looking at the three strong men with knives, his thin body, and Grandpa Ling's hands were tied tightly, it would definitely not work to confront them head-on.
These three people were just saying that they didn't catch the woman. If they were discovered by them, they would definitely end up in a miserable state.
Be patient. Just wait patiently. Even lions take naps. Wait until the second half of the night when they doze off, and then find a chance to save grandpa.
Unfortunately, Ling Jinsui was willing to wait, but the three bandits did not give her a chance.
Hearing that the old Taoist priest refused to perform the magic trick, the bandit with the knife pointed the tip of the knife at Grandpa Ling and stood up shakily.
As the bandit swayed, the tip of the knife swung back and forth between Grandpa Ling's eyes and eyebrows. As long as the bandit took one more step forward, Grandpa Ling would surely die.
Grandpa Ling's whole body was tense. He was not afraid of death, but his young grandson and daughter-in-law were waiting for him to rescue them in Yan.
He had a sick granddaughter waiting for him to go home, and he couldn't die in the hands of bandits for no apparent reason! He immediately begged for mercy: "Master, I really can't do magic. I have a few coins on me. I'll give you some wine as a token of my filial piety."
The bandit laughed loudly, and Grandpa Ling thought he agreed, so he laughed along. Suddenly, the bandit retracted the handle of his knife and hit Grandpa Ling's shoulder with his elbow.
The skinny old man was knocked to the ground in an instant, and then stepped heavily on Grandpa Ling's back.
With a "puff" sound, Grandpa Ling spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Useless stinking Taoist priest, even if you die, I will still use your silver to drink!"
"Brother, this old Taoist has old arms and legs. It's useless to take him back. It would be a waste of food. It's better to kill him and save trouble."
As the bandit spoke, he stepped on Grandpa Ling's back and swung the tip of the knife back and forth on his neck, waiting for the order from the bandit leader to kill Grandpa Ling.
The direction where Grandpa Ling fell was exactly where Ling Jinsui was hiding. The old man turned his head with difficulty towards the God of Land, as if asking the gods for help.
Unexpectedly, what I saw in front of me was my granddaughter's little face.
He thought it was his dying fantasy, blinked his eyes, rubbed the blood on his face onto his shoulder, and this time he could see clearly.
It was undoubtedly the granddaughter, but at this moment, the granddaughter, who had always been weak and timid, had a fierce look on her face.
His pair of bright eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to rush out and chop the bandit to death.
Grandpa Ling had no time to think about why his granddaughter, who was safely at Jiang's house, was here. He just kept shaking his head at her. He had been beaten to death, but he hadn't shed a tear. But now his cloudy old eyes were filled with tears.
He was begging Jinsui not to come out!
He reached his hand under the tribute table with trembling hands, trying to push his granddaughter inside. Even if he died, he would never let his granddaughter be discovered by the bandits.
When the old man's hand, covered with calluses and blood, touched Ling Jinsui, at that moment, a feeling he had never experienced before surged in Ling Jinsui's heart.
Is this what it feels like to have a grandfather? Is this what it feels like to be protected by a loved one?
She made up her mind that even if the original owner passed away, she would still be filial to this grandfather on behalf of the original owner throughout her life.
She was ready to rush out, because if she hesitated any longer, Grandpa Ling would really die at the hands of the bandits.
She took out the powder from her waist, which was used to ward off snakes and insects. It couldn't kill people, but it could temporarily dazzle people's eyes.
If we kick the fire again, it is not impossible to rescue Grandpa Ling in the chaos.
Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she couldn't just watch this old man die in front of her!
She scolded the original owner again, "You were good at scaring me in the wild, why don't you come out to scare the bandits now?" As if sensing her thoughts, Grandpa Ling pushed her hand harder and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Don't come out! Grandpa begs you, don't come out."
At this moment, the bandit leader with a hairy black mole on his neck also spoke up:
"Drag him out, the God of Land will watch over him, make sure he doesn't get bloody."
"Hey! Don't worry, big brother, I'll make sure he dies cleanly!"
As he was speaking, the bandit came over and dragged Grandpa Ling's feet.
Grandpa Ling used up his last breath, held Jin Sui's hand, and still pleaded:
"Don't come out!"
At the critical moment, when the hands of the grandfather and grandson touched, Ling Jinsui was about to rush out to fight the bandits.
Suddenly, she felt her palms burning like fire, a dazzling light flashed before her eyes, and she appeared in another familiar place.
It was the laboratory that exploded!
The laboratory did not look destroyed, but looked like it did before the explosion, with various medical instruments, medicines, a tea room and food cabinets.
What was strange was that the laboratory was empty and the doors and windows were locked.
With the experience of time travel, Ling Jinsui felt that she could accept any situation, no matter how strange it was.
This laboratory is her greatest support!
Now is not the time to explore the laboratory, Grandpa Ling's life is hanging by a thread!
Glancing around, she instantly found something useful, a bottle of thiophene, or tear gas.
She picked up the bottle as if it were a life-saving straw and prayed silently, hoping that there really were gods and Buddhas.
As long as she could save Grandpa's life, she would accept the hell-like journey! When she opened her eyes again, the bottle of tear gas was in her palm. Grandpa Ling was holding her hand and said, "Don't come out!"
It seems that when entering the laboratory, time in the outside world is stagnant.
Ling Jinsui held Grandfather's hand tightly, crawled out from under the tribute table, and said loudly:
"stop!"
I didn't want to look at Grandpa Ling's desperate face, the excited expressions of the three bandits, and the surprised faces of the hostages.
"Oh, I just said there were no women, but this woman is just..."
The bandit let go of Grandpa Ling and walked towards Jin Sui before he could finish his sentence.
Jin Sui covered his mouth and nose with one hand and threw the medicine bottle heavily to the ground with the other hand. In an instant, a cloud of gas emerged from the mouth of the bottle.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, a heart-wrenching cough was heard.
The bandit with a hairy black mole on his neck struggled to catch Grandpa Ling. He was sure that it was a trick played by the old Taoist priest.
At this time, Jin Sui had picked up the knife on the ground, cut the rope on Grandpa Ling's wrist, and pulled him out of the broken door while crouching.
I thought I had escaped and was about to go back to the laboratory to get the medicine for Grandpa Ling.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the official road not far away, and the light of torches appeared in sight.
Grandpa Ling reacted very quickly, and despite his frail body, he pulled her to lie down behind the small temple.
He covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from coughing.
After a few breaths, the group of people arrived in front of the dilapidated temple with thick smoke. They were actually a group of people wearing official uniforms.
Grandpa Ling put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was a bandit. The officer is not afraid of it. Now I am saved."
Jin Sui stretched his head to take a look, then immediately covered Grandpa Ling's mouth again and whispered, "There's no hope. These officials are here to arrest me."
That’s right, there were two familiar faces among the officers. They were the two who caused her to lose her big blue donkey in the town during broad daylight.
However, the original owner was just the daughter of a county magistrate. Was it necessary to chase her with such a large force?
