Following Jialan's guidance, Ning Qing lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped onto the roof. After a few more jumps, she arrived at the door of a dilapidated woodshed.
Two burly men stood guard outside the door, and a shrill scream came from inside the woodshed.
Ning Qing disregarded everything else and kicked each of the two burly men.
After kicking the person away, the anxious Garan rushed inside.
Ning Qing then followed suit.
There, Garan was entangled with a fat woman dressed in red and green, fighting over a whip.
Ning Qing kicked the fat woman, sending her flying into a corner, her fate unknown.
Only then did he look at Jialan, who was hurriedly helping up the thin, weak, and blood-stained little boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Xiaoqian, are you alright? Where does it hurt? Tell your brother."
The little boy weakly opened his eyes and saw that it was his older brother.
A smile appeared on her pale, bloodless face.
She replied weakly and listlessly.
"Brother, I'm fine, I'm okay..."
After saying that, her head lolled to the side and she fainted.
Garan hurriedly called out.
"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian, wake up."
Ning Qing took out a pill from her spatial storage and walked over, only to find that the little boy's clothes had already been torn apart by the whip.
The bloodstains were shocking and visible.
Ning Qing handed the pill to Jialan.
"This pill can save his life. Give it to him, and he will be fine when he wakes up."
Upon hearing this, Jialan, who was extremely anxious, looked Ning Qing over with a questioning gaze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pried open the little boy's mouth.
They crushed the pills and fed them into the mouth, but the unconscious person couldn't swallow anything.
Ning Qing handed a water bottle to Jia Lan, who took it.
I poured some water in.
The little boy's throat moved, and the medicine was swallowed.
Ning Qing looked down at Jia Lan.
"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go out first."
Unexpectedly, Garan shook his head.
"Thanks to the benefactor for helping us today, my brother and I were able to escape this calamity. However, we cannot leave."
Ning Qing, "Why is that?"
Jialan gave a sad smile. "My benefactor, you may not know this yet, but the current Emperor of the Great Eastern Kingdom has issued a strict decree that neither of us brothers are allowed to step out of Yan Hong Lou. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."
Ning Qing frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, come with me, I can protect you two brothers."
Garan shook his head.
"I am already deeply grateful for your help today. You need not cause any rift with the Great Eastern Emperor for the sake of my brother and me."
Ning Qing's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He grabbed Jialan's hand and asked in a deep voice.
"You don't believe me?"
Jialan looked up at Ning Qing.
“Of course I believe that my benefactor has the ability to protect us two brothers. However, my brother and I are not related to my benefactor. We have only met him today. We are truly unworthy of such a great favor from him.”
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow, a carefree smile curving her lips.
She gently lifted his chin with her fingertips.
"What if I said I've taken a liking to you? If you come with me, I will definitely protect you two brothers."
A complex look flashed across Jialan's eyes, which quickly turned into shock.
"What...what did you say?"
Ning Qing could see the look in his eyes clearly.
I never knew my wife was such a talented actress!
Ning Qing nodded.
"As long as you follow me, I guarantee no one will be able to harm a single hair on your head."
