"I'll come and see what's going on with them."
Luo Jiuyan checked everyone's pulse and said, "It's not a big problem. They fainted from hunger."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a grunting sound.
Pingshuang shyly covered her belly, her little face flushed red.
"I'll go to the kitchen and get some food."
Luo Jiuyan nodded slightly to Xiao Qingran and walked out.
When he came back, he had several large ceramic bowls filled with porridge in his hands.
Pingshuang quickly took it from Luo Jiuyan, fed some to her parents first, and then to her two brothers.
After feeding all four of them, she poured the remaining porridge into her mouth and drank it all.
After a while, Pingshuang's parents and brother woke up.
Ping Shuang immediately introduced Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan to the four people.
When the four of them understood the current situation and realized that Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan were here to rescue them, Ping Tai, the head of the Ping family, was so excited that his eyes turned red.
He thought that the Heike clan was finished.
Who could have thought that there would be such a turn of events.
"Dad, I'm sorry for you."
Pingshuang started crying out of self-blame.
Xiao Qingran patted her shoulder and sighed softly: "It doesn't matter who is right or wrong now. Let's leave first while those people let down their guard."
Ping Shuang immediately stopped crying and nodded to her parents: "Dad, Mom, do you still have the strength? If you can't walk, let your brother carry you."
Pingtai looked at Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan: "Are you sure we can really escape like this?"
He had seen how powerful those people from the Sword Sect were.
The Sword Sect's Great Elder had mysterious swordsmanship and was extremely powerful, so he couldn't even withstand a single blow.
"Dad, I've told you before that Sister Ran is very powerful. And my brother-in-law is even more powerful. He was the one who melted the chains on my arms with fire."
Ping Shuang glanced at Luo Jiuyan, admiration gleaming in her eyes.
Pingtai's mouth twitched, and he glared at his daughter. He wondered if she had been locked up and gone mad. The chains were so thick, how could fire melt them?
In order to show off how great others are, this guy is bragging about himself to outer space.
"Dad, stop being so suspicious. Even if we can't escape, it's better than waiting to die here. If you don't leave, we'll leave. You can just eat air here!"
Pingshuang's second brother Pingqiu stood up while adjusting his clothes and motioned his eldest brother to join him.
Ping's mother rolled her eyes at Pingtai and grabbed Pingshuang, saying, "There's nothing worse than being imprisoned here. Let's go. Even if we can't leave, we'll still fight."
"Well, since you are willing to take the risk, then I, an old man, can't hold you back."
Pingtai nodded solemnly to Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan.
Xiao Qingran was a little speechless. How much distrust did this show towards them?
But when Xiao Qingran put herself in their shoes, she thought it made sense.
After all, they were strangers, and her appearance was deceptive. It was understandable that he didn't trust her.
"Let's go!"
Pingtai left the house first.
A group of people walked from the backyard to the back door.
Everyone walked very quietly and carefully on the road, for fear of making any noise and alerting people in the dark.
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan did not have such concerns.
When the two came in, they discovered that the people from the Sword Sect who were watching Pingshuang and the others in the dark went back to sleep as soon as it got dark.
There is no one here at this moment.
When they reached the back door, Luo Jiuyan pulled it gently and the door opened, and everyone walked out immediately.
When they got outside, Pingtai and his companions were still dizzy. They had never expected that they could get out so easily.
"Where are we going now?"
Pingtai suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan.
Having escaped from their home, they wondered what to do now. They couldn't just stay at an inn, could they? That would be like walking into a trap.
"Dad, let's go to my second brother's former house."
Pingshuang told the four of them the plan she had discussed with Xiao Qingran in the morning.
Pingtai nodded with satisfaction: "You have done a good job and have found a way out."
As the group was about to leave, Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan's expressions froze.
"Someone's coming."
Everyone looked towards the direction where the footsteps came from with a wary look on their faces.
The moon was high in the sky. I could vaguely see a figure approaching quickly.
As they got closer, Pingtai and his companions saw who was coming and were shocked. They subconsciously took a few steps back.
When the visitor saw the group of people who had suddenly escaped, his eyes became fierce and he shouted, "Well, you actually dared to escape. It seems that my trip was not in vain."
Wu Qiao drew the sword from his waist, pointed it at Pingtai with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Luckily, I suddenly remembered that I left something in Ping Mansion. Otherwise, if you escaped, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Master."
His eyes fell on Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan: "Are these two the ones who came to rescue you?"
Ping Tai stretched out his arms, blocking everyone behind him, and looked at Wu Qiao with a determined look: "You have already plundered the Ping Mansion and you still don't want to let us go. Today, even if it costs me my life, I will make them leave."
"Oh, you can't even protect yourself, yet you still want to save others. Old man, do you think I dare not kill you? Apart from Ping Shuang, you are of no use at all. If you die, then die."
As Wu Qiao spoke, he drew his sword and slashed it towards Pingtai's head.
Pingshuang and the others were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped beating.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Qingran's eyes, and he was about to take action.
Then I heard a slight sound of breaking air.
"puff……"
When the tip of Wu Qiao's sword was only five centimeters away from Pingtai's head, a bullet suddenly hit his chest.
He raised his sword, his eyes wide in disbelief and horror.
With a clang, the sword in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his chest with his other hand and suddenly fell to the ground, without a sound.
Pingtai and the others were all stunned with fear. They mechanically turned their heads to look at Luo Jiuyan, who was holding a pistol with a silencer in his hand.
"So, that's the hot weapon of the secular world?"
Ping Qiu swallowed, his eyes gleaming with a fiery light.
Pingtai finally recovered after a while and slapped Pingqiu on the head: "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about that?"
Pingtai took a deep breath in frustration and pointed at Wu Qiao, who was already dead on the ground. "What should we do with this man? If they find Wu Qiao dead tomorrow, they will dig deep into the ground to find us."
"Then let him disappear immediately and don't let them know that this person is dead."
Luo Jiuyan's voice was light and clear, but what he said made people's scalps tingle.
Although no one knows what Luo Jiuyan's disappearance means, it still makes people feel scared.
Just as several people from the Heike family were staring at Wu Qiao lying on the ground in a daze.
A cluster of flame suddenly appeared in Luo Jiuyan's palm.
He just waved his hand lightly, and the flames flew towards Wu Qiao on the ground.
Soon, the small flame suddenly burned up and enveloped Wu Qiao completely.
