Fang Qing dodged backward, simultaneously scattering several fog bombs at them.
"Release the arrows!"
The sound of arrows piercing the air rang in Fang Qing's ears. She quickly hid inside the house and swallowed the antidote for the fog.
Outside, the sounds of coughing and heavy objects falling to the ground rose and fell, making Fang Qing's heart pound.
At the same time, several footsteps hurriedly entered the house.
Fang Qiang threw a few more fog grenades, then hid in the inner room.
Fang Qing only dared to come out after it had quieted down outside.
The person has already collapsed.
These are special fog bombs; once these people wake up, they won't remember what just happened.
She dragged the unconscious men in black out of the house, then exchanged some oil from her spatial storage and poured it in the corner of the room.
After doing all that, his legs and feet felt weak.
As she trembled as she was about to drop the tinder, the leader of the men in black struggled and grabbed her ankle.
Fang Qing gasped in fright and kicked him away, stepping back.
The leader of the men in black was more skilled than those who were unconscious; he was even able to stand up.
He didn't care about taking the person back; he took out the crossbow he was wearing at his waist and was about to fire at Fang Qing.
Fang Qing quickly contacted Xiao Dou, but before she could exchange for the shield, an arrow pierced the air and stabbed directly into the neck of the leader of the men in black.
The body crashed to the ground, blood splattering at Fang Qing's feet, and her body froze.
The tinder in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. Her lips trembled as she looked in the direction from which the arrow had come, and saw several armed men running towards her.
Fang Qing was so frightened by their appearance that she almost couldn't breathe.
Her mind had stopped working; her first thought was that these people were in cahoots with the men in black.
But when this group of people came over, they clasped their hands in a respectful greeting to her.
"Miss Fang, are you alright?"
The man at the head of the group was about the same age as Fang Qing, with a youthful face, but he was holding a bow, and the arrow he had just shot was the one she had fired.
It took Fang Qing a lot of effort to calm herself down.
"I'm fine, you guys..."
"We are escorting Miss Fang down the mountain. We cannot disclose our identities, please understand. Miss Fang, this way please, we will take care of things here."
Fang Qing didn't know if she could trust these people, but for the time being, she seemed to have no other choice.
She followed the man out of the village.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a soft "plop" sound behind me.
She instinctively turned around and saw the group of people stabbing the unconscious men in black with their swords and knives.
Fang Qing's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground.
"How could you be so careless? Can you take responsibility for disturbing the young lady?"
The men scratched their heads sheepishly and hid their blood-stained knives behind their backs.
The person who was guiding Fang Qing outside helped her up.
"Miss, please stop looking. Walk this way and watch your step."
Fang Qing's arm was in this person's hand, and she dared not struggle. In fact, she was only able to stand up because of this person's strength.
They came down the mountain, and the group of people responsible for cleaning up the mess also arrived.
Fang Qing sat in the carriage she had come in, her face seemingly devoid of color.
She called out to Xiaodou.
Who are they?
[People in the martial arts world.]
Why did they save me?
[How would I know? I can't access their information at all. This world is getting out of control. I'll go ask the system. You be careful.]
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaodou disappeared.
Fang Qing carefully lifted the carriage curtain and met the face of the person who was helping her down the mountain.
"What are your orders, young lady?"
Fang Qing forced herself to remain calm.
Why did you save me?
Having lived two lifetimes and decades, this was the first time she had encountered something like this.
How could I not be afraid?
Even if these people take her away to be sold, she probably won't be able to do anything about it.
"We've been entrusted with this task, so don't worry, young lady, we'll take you to a safe place."
"you……"
Fang Qing originally wanted to find out their identities, but the man smiled and said to her, "There are some things that it's better for a young lady not to know."
Fang Qing quickly lowered the carriage curtain.
The carriage swayed and rocked as the men escorted her to a populated area.
"We can only escort the young lady this far."
Thank you.
The man let out a hearty laugh.
"You're welcome, it's what we should do."
He then mounted his horse, clasped his hands in a fist salute to her, and with a flick of his whip, led his men away.
Fang Qing watched as the dust rose up on the path.
Ordinary horses, local accent.
He treated her with respect and without malice.
Who exactly is this person?
Fang Qing composed herself and then, following Xiao Dou's directions, parked the carriage in front of another path at the foot of the mountain.
This is another path down the mountain that no one else knows about.
Half an hour later, she saw the group of people coming down from the mountain.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, everyone was first shocked, and then overjoyed.
Old Zhong knelt down in front of her with a thud.
"Miss Fang, thank you for saving us, otherwise my grandfather and I..."
"Yes, thank you, Miss Fang."
The chieftain, clutching his injured shoulder, looked at her gratefully.
"It's good that everyone is alright, but I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to Majiazhai in the future."
Everyone wore a disappointed expression again.
The chieftain gave a wry smile.
"People of our status were prepared for this day long ago. If the stronghold is gone, we'll find another place to live. As long as we're still alive, that's good enough."
