Chapter 285 Saved

Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue also looked at Xia Juanjuan in shock.

Now, Rong Zhenbang and a few horse thieves who had luckily escaped the fate in the river, all realized that it was Xia Juanjuan who had just opened the wooden warehouse and designed the ice surface, causing it to crack!

The horse thief leader did not expect that the seemingly frail woman they were chasing actually had a gun in her hand, so he subconsciously took out his gun quickly. The horse thief leader aimed at Xia Juanjuan, and the other two aimed at Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue!

"Shit! These three guys might be bait set by the cavalry! Big brother, what should we do?"

The bandit leader said coldly: "Shoot and kill those two old guys first!"

"Wait a minute!" Xia Juanjuan's heart trembled and she shouted in surprise!

There were six bullets in the Browning in her hand. She used two of them to shoot at the ice just now, and used another one to kill the horse thief. There were three left. The number was enough to deal with the remaining three horse thieves, but no matter how powerful she was, she could not shoot three people at the same time and stop them from shooting and killing Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang!

"I...I'll let you do whatever you want with me. Just don't kill them..." Xia Juanjuan said.

She could only hope that the dirty words the bandit leader had just shouted on the ice would still work...

At least, delay it for a while!

If... Li Zhan was nearby and he heard the noise, he should have rushed over as soon as possible, right?

if only……

Lizhan, please, come here faster, faster!

When the horse thief leader saw Xia Juanjuan's extremely beautiful face, his breathing held. He originally planned to kill the three people immediately and escape quickly to avoid being caught by the cavalry, but now, he hesitated.

The other two horse thieves were not much better, and their mouths became dry. Food and sex are human nature, especially in this tense moment when adrenaline is surging, desires will be aroused at the same time.

Xia Juanjuan said with a trembling voice: "I... I will put Mu Cang down. Please... don't kill my parents!"

As she spoke, she slowly placed Browning on the snow beside her.

The bandit leader gritted his teeth and said, "Throw the gun away! Also, take off your clothes! I won't kill them!"

There was a flash of murderous intent in Xia Juanjuan's eyes, but when she saw Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue were still being pointed at by Mu Cang, she had to throw the gun away and then raised her hand to unbutton her clothes.

What to do?

Is it true that, in the end, she still cannot change everything she saw in her dream?

The collar was opened, revealing skin that was whiter than milk, which made several horse thieves feel excited!

"Damn it!" The horse thief leader suddenly cursed in a low voice, rushed over and threw Xia Juanjuan to the ground, and tore the clothes on her chest with both hands, while ordering the other two horse thieves: "You two keep a close eye on the two old guys..."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wooden tugs, and one of the horse thieves who was looking at Rong Zhenbang and the other man fell to the ground without a sound!

His other companion turned around and looked at him in astonishment, but before he could say a word, there was another "bang"!

The companion was also hit in the head and fell to the ground dead!

“Ahhh!” Shen Wanxue screamed in fear, and Rong Zhenbang held her tightly in his arms, whispering to her, “Wanxue, it’s okay! It’s okay! I’m here! It’s the cavalry! They…they’re here to save us!”

At the same time, the unique vibration and sound of horse hooves on the snow came, and a dozen cavalrymen in military coats galloped over heroically!

The horse thief leader was still alert, and the desire that had arisen at first faded away in an instant. He was about to search his own warehouse, but at this moment, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and cried out in pain.

A knife was inserted into his abdomen, and the handle of the knife was in Xia Juanjuan's hand!

"Ugh... stinky... stinky bitch, you're looking for death!"

As he spoke, he already held the wooden cannon in his hand and aimed it at Xia Juanjuan!

“Bang!”

The wooden warehouse rang!

Xia Juanjuan tightly closed her eyes! The horse thief leader's body first froze, and then he fell on his back to the ground!

Then, Xia Juanjuan heard a familiar voice saying, "Old man, are you okay? Sorry, we are late..."

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Li Zhan getting off his horse in a dashing manner. He looked towards Rong Zhenbang, then he widened his eyes and stood there in a daze.

He looked at Shen Wanxue in Rong Zhenbang's arms in astonishment, then his gaze shifted to Xia Juanjuan beside him, the astonishment and shock in his eyes became even more intense!

His mother's explanation made sense, because this place was not far from the Harvest Farm where they were, but Juanjuan...his wife, how could she be here? !

"Jianjian...why are you here?"

As he spoke, he saw that Xia Juanjuan's collar was a little messy, and then glanced at the horse thief leader who was already dead next to him. His eyes almost burst into fire, and he felt distressed and regretful for coming so late!

He rushed over and hugged Xia Juanjuan into his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Juanjuan, how are you? Are you injured?"

Xia Juanjuan's face turned pale. Although she knew that Li Zhan should be nearby and should be able to catch up, when she really saw him catching up, her nose still felt sour and tears kept falling.

All the strength and grievance that she had been holding on to since she met the horse thief collapsed at this moment. She just snuggled tightly in his arms, trembling.

"Li Zhan... I, I'm fine. Please check on mom... check on them, see if they are injured?"

Shen Wanxue stared at Lizhan with eyes wide open, tears streaming down her face: "Liezhan...it's really me...it's really you..."

She wanted to impulsively say "my son", but when she saw the people who came with Li Zhan, she held back.

Rong Zhenbang also stared at Li Zhan in amazement and couldn't help but tears up in his eyes.

This... is the child he had never seen since birth, his... son?

They have grown up so much, are so tall, and are wearing military uniforms. They have grown into good children who protect their country!

Li Zhan turned around and looked at Shen Wanxue. He first took off his military coat and gave it to Xia Juanjuan, then walked towards Shen Wanxue.

Xia Juanjuan said: "I'm fine, I'm not cold, give me the clothes..."

"Put it on!" Li Zhan ordered without question.

Then, he walked towards Shen Wanxue. Wei Bin and Lu Xiangdong, who followed him, quickly took off their military coats and put them on Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang.

Li Zhan glanced at Shen Wanxue, then looked at Rong Zhenbang somewhat awkwardly.

Shen Wanxue was afraid that Lizhan would ask her to call him mom directly, so she said first: "Zhenbang, this is what I told you. When I was in Qingshui Village, there was a young man who helped me a lot. He was called Lizhan! Lizhan, thank you so much! If it weren't for you and Juanjuan, Auntie and your uncle, I'm afraid we would have died at the hands of horse thieves today!"

Rong Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what his wife meant and thanked her, "Did you mean Liezhan? Uncle... Thank you!"

Lizhan's nose felt sore and he looked at Rong Zhenbang again. This was his biological father.

But he still took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and said softly: "No need to thank me, this is what we should do!"

At this time, Bai Zihan came over with another team and said, "Three or four of the horse thieves who fell into the water drowned, and three or four were rescued, but they were severely hypothermic and it is estimated that they can't be saved. There were also a few who were watching the sheep, and they have already surrendered. How is it here?"

Wei Bin said, "Of course, all of our leader's Mu Cang Fa were defeated!"

Bai Zihan heard this and said excitedly: "Great! This time we have basically caught all these horse thieves. They will never come out to harm the people again!"

Lu Xiangdong had already ordered the people he brought with him to deal with the bodies of the horse thieves, and then he said, "Captain, let's go back to the camp first. These fellow villagers were caught in a blizzard and were almost killed by horse thieves. I'm afraid they are hungry and cold..."

After hearing this, Li Zhan nodded and said, "Yes. Judging from the weather, it will probably snow again. Let's go to the nearby ranch first, and then we can talk about the next step."

As he spoke, he had already pulled up Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang, and asked Wei Bin and Lu Xiangdong to ride on horses and take one each.

Then, he walked to Xia Juanjuan's side.

Xia Juanjuan took a while to relax, and the trembling all over her body eased a little, but her legs were still shaking. She tried several times but failed to stand up.

Li Zhan didn't say anything, he just bent down and picked her up horizontally.

Xia Juanjuan blushed and said, "You...you put me down. I can walk by myself!"

Li Zhan said unhappily, "You can't even stand up, how can you walk? Just hold me tight and don't move! You are my wife, what's the point of me hugging you?"

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan's face turned even redder, but she still obediently hugged Li Zhan tightly and leaned her face on his chest.

Li Zhan carried Xia Juanjuan onto the horse, and then he mounted his own horse. The rest of the people were chasing the sheep and the few horse thieves who had luckily survived, leading the horse thieves' horses. Some of the horses had broken their legs after falling on the ice, and because they had lost their value as horses, they had no choice but to kill them with great pain, tie them up with ropes, and pull them with other horses back to the pasture.

There is a food shortage here, so we can't waste the meat of so many horses.

The group soon arrived at the ranch.

The ranch was a state-owned ranch, and the cavalrymen who had been risking their lives to rescue trapped herdsmen and hunt down horse thieves during this period also warmly entertained them.

Although there were many people coming at once, they were pulling three horses with broken legs, so they must have enough food.

Those sheep were brought here by Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang. They were public property, so they were transferred to the ranch, and the ranch kept records.

However, due to a snowstorm, two sheep were frozen to death, so there were two fewer sheep delivered.

Although there are force majeure factors, the ranch is still in a difficult situation.

Li Zhan had been paying attention to Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang, so he walked over and said, "Comrade, it's not easy for them either. They didn't want to kill those two sheep, did they? When a blizzard happens, no one can do anything about it. How about this, I'll give you some money for the two sheep, as a payment for them, what do you think?"

After hearing this, the ranch accountant had no choice but to say, "Well...how about this, you give me fifty and I'll put it on the account book, and we'll forget about it."

Lizhan paid fifty dollars immediately and the matter was over.

In the evening, the ranch processed a horse with a broken leg and made it into roasted horse legs and roasted horse steaks, and also roasted some potatoes and boiled milk tea to entertain Lizhan and his men.
