Chapter 13 A Fierce Battle
The noise woke the men outside, who, in a daze, grabbed their weapons and began fighting the villains. Meanwhile, Old Lady Li, Liu Yinxiu, and Zhang Dandan took advantage of the chaos, while Li Minghui and Li Minghuang led the charge, with the villains following behind. Pots, sticks, and spatulas were used in a chaotic attack, and the villains were forced to retreat. Enraged, the villains drew their long knives, the cold weapons gleaming in the darkness. For a moment, the two sides faced off.
The people of Linjia Village, who were on the same side as them, were awakened by the commotion. Their eyes were deep and heavy, filled with intense malice.
At this moment, Li Xiujuan broke the silence with a loud thud, kicking the villain five meters away. The birds were startled, which alerted the people of Linjia Village and also made the attackers more courageous in their fight.
Li Minghui and Li Minghuang, despite their brute strength, lacked skill and were quickly injured by the well-trained thugs. The thugs pressed their advantage and slashed at Li Minghui's neck.
At the critical moment, two arrows shot out, one striking the man's wrist and the other piercing his head. Flesh and blood exploded like a bursting watermelon, and all those who were about to attack were filled with fear and took several steps back.
The attackers were thrown into disarray. In their panic, their steps became erratic, giving Li Minghui, Li Minghui, and Li Xiujuan an opportunity. They seized the opportunity, but Li Xiujuan slapped them unconscious. The only one who managed to escape was bound by Lin Zhaozhao's supernatural power, and Lin Yangyang pierced his heart with an arrow.
When Lin Yangyang killed someone for the first time, her hands trembled violently. Lin Zhaozhao grabbed her hand, her eyes calm and undisturbed. As if sensing her emotions, Lin Yangyang embraced her. Lin Zhaozhao was slightly taken aback, and her hand awkwardly landed on Lin Yangyang's shoulder.
There were five attackers in total, three dead and two injured. On their side, Li Minghui and Li Minghuang were more seriously injured. The former had a gash on his chest, which looked shocking, but it was not serious. The latter was more troublesome, as he had injured his tendons and bones. If he did not receive intervention, his hand would probably be useless in the future.
Lin Zhaozhao didn't want this to happen, so she took out some medicine and bandages, bandaged him up simply, and then, citing Li Minghuang's injury as the reason, got him onto the mule cart.
Li Minghuang originally wanted to decline by saying that his hand was injured, but Zhang Dandan forcefully pushed him forward.
The moonlight was bright, and the mule cart moved slowly forward. Lin Zhaozhao sat in front of the mule cart and glanced at the people of Linjia Village out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that they were on high alert and that she looked like a mouse seeing a cat, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a wicked smile.
There were still two hours until dawn, and there were hardly any people like them traveling in the dark. As the chill set in, their minds became clearer. Thinking of the five people who had raided them tonight, a shadowy light flashed in Lin Zhaozhao's eyes.
I thought that her commotion last night would only attract petty thieves who coveted money and food or the villagers of Linjia Village who had evil intentions. But the group of people who were caught were well-trained and had a clear objective: to kill them.
This made Lin Zhaozhao think deeply. Both the Li and Lin families were honest people, and their enemies were mostly over trivial matters. They rarely had anyone who wanted to kill them.
Suddenly, Lin Zhaozhao thought of someone—the female protagonist, Lin Jinxiu.
Based on the original owner's experiences and the current situation of the Lin family, it seems that Lin Jinxiu was behind all the misfortunes that the Lin family encountered. This applies to Lin Zheng and Lin Dan, as well as the original owner.
Considering the fate of the Lin family in the original novel, where they all died during their escape from famine, is that even possible?
Li Xiujuan and Lin Yangyang are naturally strong, almost at the pinnacle of brute force. Old Mrs. Lin is cautious and has surplus food, so there shouldn't be no survivors unless someone secretly plotted against them.
Thinking about it from another angle, if she hadn't transmigrated into the book, the original owner would have fled the famine with her husband's family. The Lin family had fallen out with the people of Linjia Village because of the forced conscription, and would definitely have gone with the Li family. Without the pregnant woman to hold her back, according to the pace of this group, it would have taken them at most one day to reach Ning'an County.
Having rushed here during the day and sleeping soundly at night, if attacked at this time, Li Xiujuan would be the first to be hit, and the outcome is self-evident.
