In the Lin family courtyard.
Madam Lin looked at the two soldiers and bandits approaching with knives in hand, her pretty fair face filled with fear as she kept backing away.
“Don’t… come over here, don’t come over here!!”
She retreated again and again, feeling an obstruction behind her feet. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and realized that she had retreated to the corner of the wall with no way to retreat. The fear on her face suddenly turned into despair.
Lin Xiucai, who was being held down by a bandit nearby, struggled desperately and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come at me if you have anything to say. Don't touch my wife."
Bang--
"What's your business? Shut up!"
Mr. Lin was thrown aside by the soldier and knocked unconscious.
"Husband!!" Mrs. Lin shouted with tears in her eyes when she saw it.
The two soldiers and bandits who were walking towards Madam Lin were indifferent to the shouting. They just continued to walk towards Madam Lin with more excited and obscene expressions, laughing "hehe".
"Girl, come and smile..."
The soldiers and bandits who had been holding Mr. Lin captive turned around, grinning and walking towards Mrs. Lin with excitement.
Madam Lin felt a chill in her heart, and her eyes were filled with endless despair. She closed her eyes and was about to bite her tongue to commit suicide.
Just then, several cries of pain were heard in the yard.
“Ah! Ah!!”
The sudden change happened very quickly. Madam Lin heard several screams from the soldiers and bandits in front of her and subconsciously opened her eyes to look.
A young girl in a white short-sleeved shirt with black edges was seen on the opposite side. She had already knocked down several soldiers and bandits with a long knife in her hand, and blood was dripping from the knife.
"Miaomiao."
"Aunt Lin, are you okay?"
The girl put away the knife and looked up at Madam Lin who had spoken.
The girl who appeared was naturally Wang Miaomiao. She rushed over with her Qinggong skills and happened to run into three soldiers and bandits approaching Madam Lin. She picked up her knife and killed them.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin's body was weakening, she reached out to help her.
"I'm... fine. Come and see my husband..."
Wang Miaomiao helped Madam Lin to stand up, and then she saw Mr. Lin lying on the ground next to her. She turned around and walked over to help Mr. Lin up, reached out to check his breath, and then looked him over.
I found that his breathing was normal and there was a bump on his forehead. He probably just fainted.
Then he turned to Mrs. Lin and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Lin, Mr. Lin just fainted."
Wang Miaomiao helped Mr. Lin up, and together with Mrs. Lin, they carried him to the bed in the house and laid him down, looking at the chaotic situation in the house.
She frowned and asked, "Aunt Lin, do you know what happened in the village today? Where did these soldiers and bandits come from?"
Madam Lin shook her head. She was just an ordinary woman and was completely confused about these soldiers and bandits who suddenly appeared in the village.
At this moment, a clear young voice came from the door.
"I know."
Wang Miaomiao and Lin Niangzi turned around to look at
"Yu'er, mother almost forgot about you. Are you okay?" Mrs. Lin was surprised to see the visitor, and her tone was concerned but also a little self-blame.
"Mom, I'm fine." Lin Yu said in a speechless voice.
He was covered in dust, as if he had just crawled out of a pile of firewood, but his temperament was still gentle and kind, but his originally clear eyes seemed to have a deeper look.
"I know where those soldiers and bandits came from!" Lin Yu turned his head and looked at Wang Miaomiao and said.
Wang Miaomiao looked up at his clear eyes as he said this. She felt that the deep look she saw in her eyes a moment ago might have been mistaken. Without thinking, she said directly, "Mr. Lin, could you please elaborate?"
"Judging from the way these soldiers and bandits are dressed, they should be the border troops of Youzhou." Lin Yu lowered his eyes and began to introduce.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Wang Miaomiao might not understand, he briefly explained the relationship.
Dashi Village is under the jurisdiction of Qingshi Town, and Qingshi Town is a small town under the jurisdiction of Youzhou City.
This place is close to the Youzhou border to the west, and there is a city gate checkpoint at the border. The Youzhou border army is stationed at that checkpoint to prevent the barbarians outside the pass from entering the pass and harassing the army.
"Why are the Youzhou border troops coming to the village?" Wang Miaomiao frowned even more tightly after hearing this.
Seeing her confusion, Lin Yu said, "Something must have happened. I suspect it's related to Chen's destruction of Xia. This group of people may be remnants of Xia."
Wang Miaomiao's mind raced as she grasped the key point: "Could it be remnants of the army? Does that mean there aren't many people coming to the village this time?"
When Lin Yu heard her words, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he confirmed her guess: "Yes, there are only about a hundred people at most."
Wang Miaomiao felt relieved when she heard this.
If these soldiers and bandits were really an army, no matter how powerful her martial arts skills were, she would not be able to defeat them with two fists. She could only investigate the situation and then find a way to save them.
Now she heard that there were fewer soldiers and bandits than she expected, so it would be much easier to rescue people.
She lowered her eyes to look at the three members of the Lin family and said, "Aunt Lin, you stay here and take care of Mr. Lin first. I'm going to go rescue my parents. If everything goes well, I'll come back to meet you later."
"Miao Miao, you..." Madam Lin wanted to persuade her, but paused before changing her words: "...be careful when you go to rescue people."
"Um."
Wang Miaomiao smiled and nodded, then hurried out.
Lin Yu watched her back disappear from his sight, turned his head and whispered: "I owe her a huge favor this time."
When Madam Lin heard her son's words, she sighed and said, "Yes, your father and I are very grateful to Miaomiao for showing up in time this time. Otherwise..."
She didn't say anything else. She just lowered her head and wiped the sweat off the face of Mr. Lin, who was unconscious on the bed, with a handkerchief. There was fear in her expression.
…
"Go, go, go! Hurry up!"
