Wanxiang and his men quickly chased after them.
The four old men on Ji Yunxi's side were still some distance away from the cave entrance, and Xue Zhu was quite skilled, so it was difficult for them to escape.
Seeing that he might die here today, Mrs. Xie's brother, Elder Xie, glanced at the crowd, flew over without saying a word, rushed into the crowd, picked up the sword and slashed down.
For a moment, screams were heard in the mine and blood splattered everywhere.
The victims scattered like ants, blocking Xuezhu and his men's way forward.
Seeing this, the other three old men followed Elder Xie's example and plunged into the crowd, intending to escape in the chaos.
Baofu, who was helping to bandage the wounded in the crowd, ran towards Ji Yunxi regardless of anything when he saw Ji Yunxi being attacked.
But he was stopped by elder sister Qiuyu.
Sister Qiuyu scolded, "Are you crazy? That sword has no eyes!"
Baofu was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "My young lady is still there! My young lady is still there!"
Sister Qiuyu: "Do you know martial arts? What can you do if you go there? I'm afraid you'll be beheaded by a sword before you even get there, and you won't be able to get close to your young lady!"
Baofu: "But the lady is there!"
Sister Qiuyu: "Your young lady didn't let you go over there before. She asked you to stay with us. She didn't want you to cause trouble. You're hiding here! It's bad luck!"
As soon as the words "making things worse" came out, Baofu, who was struggling to run over, stopped struggling.
She was so anxious that her eyes turned red like a rabbit, but she still endured it and didn't go over to cause trouble.
Yes, she is not as good at martial arts as Wanxiang, nor is she as steady, so the lady would sometimes send her away when she did something.
When Baofu was little, he didn’t understand and tried to get closer.
Although the young lady didn't say anything afterwards, Baofu overheard what the other maids said, saying that she always made things worse.
Baofu wiped his eyes and walked around anxiously in the crowd, staring at Ji Yunxi.
When she saw the twelve people suddenly appear, she burst into laughter.
She knew that the young lady was always the most powerful.
The lady always finds a way to escape danger.
Baofu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the three killers rushing towards him from the crowd, Baofu quickly dodged them.
She also wants to live well and help the young lady with all the things.
In fact, the young lady is most afraid of trouble. Although she makes a lot of money and likes to look at the account books, she doesn't like to manage the warehouse or take care of the trivial matters of food, clothing, housing and transportation for everyone in the family.
Although she is not as good at martial arts as Wanxiang and not very smart, Baofu is quite good at these things.
She has been through a lot with the young lady over the years, and Wanxiang always gives her some pointers. Baofu is very agile and she dodged all the swords that were swung at her.
But suddenly, I heard a "ouch" from behind.
It was a very familiar voice, Qiuyu's voice.
Baofu turned around and looked.
Qiuyu's leg was injured first. Although she had been applying medicine on time these days, she was busy running back and forth with Baofu and the others, busy cooking big pot meals and rushing to wash dishes. She was always moving around and had no peace, and her injury didn't heal much.
Qiuyu can't run fast.
Qiuyu had tried her best to dodge so many swords. The wound on her leg was broken and blood was gushing out again.
The sword was raised high above the head and then swung down lightly.
The tip of the sword glowed silver, eerie and cold, high above.
Baofu ran back and pressed Qiuyu, who was half a step slower, under her.
It hurts so much.
Baofu thought.
She hadn't felt this kind of pain for many, many years.
Baofu turned his head and looked in the direction where Ji Yunxi was.
In the sight, the smoky blue skirt was swaying wildly, and a pair of exquisite but dirty embroidered shoes ran over.
That was what Baofu personally packed into Ji Yunxi's luggage for the trip to Qinghe County.
With dilated pupils, Baofu recalled the first time she saw her young lady. She was also lying on the ground dying like she was now.
Baofu was not originally called Baofu. Unlike the family-born girl Wanxiang, she entered the Ji family at the age of seven.
Before she was seven years old, Baofu had never had a full meal. Her family disliked her because she was a girl and beat and scolded her.
Baofu has never been a pushover since she was a child. She follows the example of her parents. If they beat her or scold her, she will fight back even if she gets hurt.
Her parents sold her many times, but Baofu was still very aggressive in other people's homes.
Baofu’s products were returned every time.
It was impossible to sell it. Although Baofu had a bad temper, he was really efficient at work.
Her family still keeps her.
One winter when she was seven years old, when she was watching her younger brother, her younger brother accidentally tripped and scratched his arm.
Her parents beat her until her skin was torn and bloody on the icy roadside in front of everyone.
When Baofu was dying, the Ji family's carriage stopped nearby.
The steward came over and asked her parents.
"My master is in need of a maid. Would you like to sell your daughter?"
“Sell, of course!”
"How much?"
"One ounce? If you think it's too much, less is fine. My little girl is tough and can do all kinds of work. It doesn't matter how much I beat or scold her!"
The carriage curtain embroidered with floral and bat patterns was lifted by a child's hand.
Ji Yunxi, who was only five or six years old, had an imposing manner and a face as cold as white jade.
The fawning parents exchanged glances and dared not look again, lowering their heads quickly, fearing that any further glance would displease the nobleman.
"Buy it." Ji Yunxi glanced at the steward and thought for a moment, "From today on, her name will be Baofu. And I will not hit her or scold her. On the contrary——"
She paused, looked at the parents, her brows and eyes cold: "I will protect her safety throughout her life and give her a lifetime of wealth and honor."
Chapter 89 No One Knows
All sounds stopped at this moment.
Baofu, I swore a vow back then that from now on this life belongs to you. I will live for you and die for you.
