Chapter 173 Ah - My Eyes
"Don't be so nervous. I already have a plan. Just take good care of me when the time comes..."
Sang Yu was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized that Sang Yongjing was in his thirties, while Sang Xingjia was barely eighteen. If anything, Sang Yongjing should be the one protecting him.
"Forget it, big brother, take care of yourself when the time comes and don't get hurt."
As for passing the message to Sang Yongjing, it was naturally left to Sang Xingjia.
Sang Yu stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his butt, and began to help pack up and prepare to close the stall.
Sang Yongjing, who suddenly realized that he was being targeted, subconsciously wanted to turn back to look for those people, but was quickly stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Sang Xingjia.
"Dad, don't look at it, it will alert the enemy."
After his body's subconscious reaction was stopped, Sang Yongjing himself realized that he could not turn his head, but he still couldn't help but complain.
"It's that group of people again. Why are they haunting us?"
He had wanted to attack them when he was selling candy before, but fortunately Sang Yu was smart and helped him escape safely.
Now, even the location of my home is known to the other party. I'm afraid the two sides will have to fight to the death, otherwise I will be harassed forever.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and quickened his pace to catch up with Sang Yu who was walking in front.
"Yu'er, what are you going to do? Do you want to take this opportunity to prepare some handy tools?"
It has been quite a while since Sang Yongjing left the comfortable environment of the capital, and he has developed some banditry in him.
"Handy tools?" Sang Yu glanced at him. "Are you planning on buying a knife or an axe? Wouldn't it be obvious if people saw you buying these things?"
That’s true. Sang Yongjing touched his nose awkwardly and stopped talking.
It was true that she couldn't openly prepare sharpened iron tools, but there were some things she bought to ensure that they wouldn't be suspicious.
The three members of the Sang family went to the nearby market as usual to buy vegetables and seasonings. Wang Chengping, who followed them, had followed them once yesterday and did not find it strange.
Instead, the two helpers he called were a little impatient.
One of the young men, who had a new floral tattoo on his left forearm and had deliberately rolled up his sleeves, spoke bluntly, "Brother Wang, how long do we have to follow you? Can't we just wait at the city gate?"
A fierce look flashed in Wang Chengping's eyes, but when he raised his head, there was only a flattering smile on his face.
"We're worried they'll run away. The seasoning has already been purchased, and they'll be leaving the city soon. I'll have to trouble you three to help with today's matter. I'll definitely reward you handsomely once it's done."
In order to ensure that today's matter would be foolproof, he made a solemn promise in advance and also paid two taels of silver to each of the three people in advance, and another four taels after the matter was completed.
Of course, the Wang family cannot afford so much silver now, but as long as they kill the Sang family in front, they will have money.
With two men, Sang Yongjing and Sang Xingjia, around, Sang Yu usually doesn't have to carry or lift anything heavy.
Today was the same, she only carried a few packets of newly bought seasonings and a bag of white flour.
As usual, the three of them walked towards the east of the city after buying things. As they got closer to the city gate, Sang Yongjing felt more and more nervous.
He swallowed hard, but couldn't help asking, "Yu'er, are you sure you can handle those people?"
"Ninety percent." Sang Yu's expression was calm as he continued to walk forward calmly. "When the time comes, follow my instructions and don't act rashly."
"Okay!" Sang Yongjing agreed without hesitation. Since Sang Yu said she was sure, he would trust her unconditionally. What she said was never wrong.
After leaving the city gate, the official road seemed much more spacious and you could see very far at a glance.
Wang Chengping was afraid that Sang Yu and the others had not walked far enough and would be discovered by the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, so he deliberately asked the other four to slow down and lag far behind.
This is exactly what Sang Yu meant. Since he wanted to kill someone, he naturally couldn't be discovered.
These days, both transportation and information are not well developed, so it is not difficult to make a few people disappear quietly without being discovered.
The two groups in front and behind seemed to be pretending to be ignorant, and they kept moving forward, gradually approaching the place where Sang Yu and her friends had lived in the shed before, along the official road.
The person behind him was getting closer and closer, and he walked a little forward. Sang Yu suddenly said, "Dad, big brother, drop the things and run, run towards the shed!"
Both of them were startled, but without hesitation, they dropped their belongings and ran forward. Seeing this, the five people behind them hurriedly ran to catch up.
The official road was built by ramming and piling up layers of rocks, and was much higher than the plains on both sides.
In the past, every time Sang Yu went up and down the official road, she had to rely on stones as a stepping stone. This time, she took the lead and flexibly jumped onto the plain along the previously stacked stones.
Sang Yongjing and Sang Xingjia followed closely behind. At this time, Wang Chengping and his group who were chasing behind were still some distance away from them.
Sang Yu directed the father and son to move the piled stones away, and he also picked up a long stone that was convenient to him.
In this way, if people on the official road wanted to come down, they could either jump down directly and risk spraining their ankle, or turn their backs to her and lie down on the side of the official road to retreat.
No matter which method she uses, she can smash the stone in her hand hard. She doesn't seek to kill the opponent with one blow, but at least she can make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness instantly.
It was obvious that she was not the only one who thought of this. Liu Mao, who was experienced in fighting, understood it almost instantly and couldn't help but cheer for her in his heart.
The idea was not particularly ingenious, but being able to come up with this method in a short period of time and adapting to local conditions, and instantly breaking up the possibility of their encirclement, was enough.
What a pity...
Liu Mao was not the only one present who had rich experience in fighting. The two people next to him immediately came up with a countermeasure when they saw them turning over and getting off the official road with stones in their hands.
"Don't run any further, just go down this way."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of them was already lying on the edge of the official road. He first lowered his legs and then used his hands to slightly grab the stones on the edge of the official road and landed easily.
When they fight, there are always people who want to escape by climbing over the wall or jumping into the river. They have plenty of ways to deal with these little tricks.
Seeing someone succeed, others followed suit. Liu Mao deliberately slowed down a few steps. He saw Sang Yu winking at him. Did she want him to take action now, or...
Sang Yongjing, who had not stood up since he moved the stone, suddenly stood up from the shadow of the official road not far behind the man who fell to the ground, shouted to attract attention, and then threw a handful of white ash in his face.
Caught off guard, the man couldn't dodge for a moment, but he didn't care too much. He followed the family and watched the white flour they bought.
The white powder in his eyes would at most interfere with his vision a little, but he would recover quickly. He was confident that before that, he would not be knocked down by the opponent with his outstanding hand-to-hand combat experience.
However, when the white powder entered his eyes, the next second, a shrill scream came from his mouth.
"Ah—my eyes!"
