Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing dared not make any rash moves. They outnumbered each other and were afraid that they would be outmatched and captured instead, which would give them an opportunity.
After everyone left, Chen Zhe led Zhang Jing out slowly. They looked in the direction the villagers had gone. Once they were far away, they went to find Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng to meet up and tell them what had happened.
Xuan Yu and Lu Hengyi didn't encounter any villagers, but they did run into Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing.
Chen Zhe briefly told them what he had heard, and they prepared to go find Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng together.
Then a villager behind him saw it and shouted loudly.
"They're here! Someone come quick!"
Chen Zhe and the others glanced at it, and Xuan Yu quickly shot and killed the man who was shouting, then said one sentence.
"Run!"
The four of them quickly ran in one direction.
The dozen or so villagers who arrived later only glanced at the man who had been beaten to death before immediately chasing after Xuan Yu and his group.
"Chase them! They're over there! Follow me!"
They were unfamiliar with the village, and it was nighttime with many narrow paths and intersections.
Xuan Yu and his three companions ran quickly. There were more of them, about a dozen, and they couldn't beat them in a direct confrontation.
Lu Hengyi said to the three of them, "Run this way."
Upon hearing the gunshots, Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng quickly went to find Xuan Yu and the others.
When they encountered someone acting alone, Fu Heng shot and killed the person before the other party could even speak.
The gunshots attracted some villagers, and Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi fired as they retreated.
The villagers were also firing their guns as they went forward, while also seeking cover for themselves.
Zhang Haiyi and Gu Qingqing didn't see any villagers, but they heard gunshots from several places. They must have all gone to Chen Zhe and Fu Heng's side.
Zhang Haiyi carefully led Gu Qingqing and quietly walked towards the source of the gunfire, unaware that a villager had already drawn a gun and was aiming it at them.
At this point, the two were unaware that they were still moving forward.
The man immediately fired at Zhang Haiyi and Gu Qingqing. However, his aim was poor, and the first shot missed them, hitting the wall next to them instead.
When Zhang Haiyi and Gu Qingqing heard someone firing at them, they immediately stopped and looked around warily, trying to find the source of the shooting.
The man quickly fired a second shot, hitting Zhang Haiyi in the calf.
Zhang Haiyi was shot and knelt on the ground in pain.
Gu Qingqing looked at Zhang Haiyi nervously, supported him, and called out.
"Brother Yi!"
The man in the corner fired a third shot at Zhang Haiyi, hitting him in the arm.
Zhang Haiyi groaned again in pain, but quickly stood up. He knew where the gunshot had come from. He raised his gun with his other hand and fired into the corner, but the man easily dodged it.
The man fired at Zhang Haiyi again, this time hitting him in the stomach and chest.
Zhang Haiyi staggered back a few steps, spat out blood, and collapsed to the ground.
Looking at Zhang Haiyi's appearance, Gu Qingqing cried out in heartache. She also knew where the person who fired at them was.
So she raised her gun and fired several shots quickly into the dark corner. Only after hearing the sound of the man falling to the ground did she lower her pistol and look at Zhang Haiyi.
Gu Qingqing cried out, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, get up quickly, I'll take you to find Sister Yunxi and the others. With her here, you'll be alright."
Zhang Haiyi raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Qingqing, then opened his mouth to say something.
"Qingqing, don't cry. You'll look ugly if you cry. Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't worry."
Gu Qingqing placed her hand in Zhang Haiyi's hand, letting him stroke her.
Hearing him say that, she cried even louder, saying as she spoke.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I failed to protect you."
Zhang Haiyi wanted to say something more, but the pain in his body made him very uncomfortable. He was so sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.
In an instant, Zhang Haiyi fainted from the pain.
Gu Qingqing looked at the unconscious Zhang Haiyi, her heart trembled, and she cried out.
"Brother Yi! Brother Yi! Don't sleep, get up! I'll take you to find Sister Yunxi right now, get up! Waaah~ Brother Yi! Brother Yi! Look at me, I'm your Qingqing!"
"Waaaah~ Yi-ge, don't sleep, wake up!"
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng fired a few shots and quickly ran into another alley. Not long after they left, they heard someone crying.
The two exchanged a glance, deciding to see what was going on.
This was quite a sight; they saw Gu Qingqing kneeling on the ground, crying, and they could hear her calling for Brother Yi.
Fu Heng turned to Ye Yunxi and said.
"Oh no, something's happened to Haiyi!"
The two of them quickly ran over with Yunzi, and Ye Yunxi called out to Gu Qingqing.
"Qingqing!"
Gu Qingqing thought it was a hallucination and didn't look behind her. She continued to cry and tried to help Zhang Haiyi up from the ground, but she was too weak to lift him up.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng ran up behind them and called out.
"Qingqing..."
Gu Qingqing heard Ye Yunxi's voice, turned around, and saw her and Fu Heng. She cried as she spoke.
"Sister Yunxi, Sister Yunxi, please, please save Brother Yi, please!"
Ye Yunxi squatted down to help Gu Qingqing up and saw Zhang Haiyi lying on the ground behind her.
Looking at Gu Qingqing's appearance, he said with heartache.
"Qingqing, what happened? Tell us."
When Fu Heng saw Zhang Haiyi lying on the ground, he immediately went over, squatted down, and began to examine him.
Gu Qingqing was helped up by Ye Yunxi and said, sobbing.
"We were on our way to find you, but we were ambushed as soon as we got here. The person who attacked us was Brother Yi. He was shot three or four times while protecting me."
Later, I killed that man in the corner ahead. I wanted to help Yi Ge up so I could find you, but I was too weak to lift him.
"Sister Yunxi, please, save Brother Yi! He was injured protecting me."
After hearing Gu Qingqing's words, Ye Yunxi looked at Fu Heng, who then said...
"Haiyi was seriously injured. He was shot in the calf, in the stomach, in the chest, and in the arm. He fainted from the pain."
"Thankfully, it didn't hit the heart," Ye Yunxi comforted Gu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, listen to me, I will save Haiyi, but let's leave here first. Once we get back to the car, I'll save him immediately. But the condition is that you stop crying and let's leave here first."
When Gu Qingqing heard that Ye Yunxi would save her Yi Ge, she wiped away her tears and nodded.
"Okay, I won't cry. Let's get out of here first."
Fu Heng helped Zhang Haiyi up and carried him on his back, then spoke to Ye Yunxi and Gu Qingqing.
"Let's go find the village entrance."
Ye Yunxi, holding Gu Qingqing's hand, quickly followed Fu Heng towards the village entrance. Yunzi ran alongside Ye Yunxi.
The little wolf cub had already been taken into Ye Yunxi's spatial storage, so Gu Qingqing didn't notice it and had no interest in asking about it.
All she wants now is to find the village entrance as soon as possible, leave this place, and ask Ye Yunxi to help her save her Yi Ge.
Although she is also a doctor, she was afraid that her hands would shake, and she felt sorry for Yi Ge, fearing that she might make a mistake in her operation.
