At this point, everyone scattered and could only stand not far away, cursing at Song Liyun who was chasing after people with a baton.
Some people tried to fight Song Liyun, but they only encountered more severe blows.
Song Liyun chased after those men and started hitting them.
The market instantly descended into chaos. No matter how fierce Song Liyun was, she was still just one person.
Several men, cursing and swearing, surrounded them, carrying carrying poles and sticks.
Song Liyun looked serious; she knew she was about to face an attack from several people.
But she wasn't afraid. Xiao An had already entered the town and would be able to call Xue Zhuang and the others over soon.
Moreover, there are soldiers from the garrison maintaining order at the market outside the town, and they can arrive in just a short while.
As if to confirm her idea, several horses rushed over from outside the arena like a whirlwind.
The men who wanted to fight back were instantly pinned down by several spears and quickly lay on the ground, too afraid to move.
Two horses circled around Song Liyun, protecting her in the middle.
On horseback, Zhao Ashi leaned down and smiled at Song Liyun, "How should you thank me for coming to save you again?"
When Song Liyun saw a handsome face, her eyes lit up immediately: "Ashi, you're here again!"
What a coincidence, I ran into Zhao Ashi again this time.
It seems that heroes who save lives don't necessarily have to ride on auspicious clouds; they might also tread on dust.
"Yes, it's here!"
Zhao Ashi smiled broadly.
He never expected to see Song Liyun in such a disheveled state every time he came to Suijin Town, yet it was all so amusing.
Without realizing it, that bright-eyed, white-toothed face, those playful and intelligent eyes, and that charmingly tilted head, with a touch of playfulness amidst her open and generous demeanor, had already been etched into my heart.
A man jumped off his horse and said loudly to Song Liyun, "Sister Song, let Xiao An get some more rabbit meat this time. Look, we brought all the rabbits with us."
Abu pointed to a string of gray rabbits hanging on the horse's back, grinning to reveal two rows of snow-white teeth.
He didn't mention what Song Liyun was doing just now; it's hot now, and these dead rabbits can't be let go.
“Okay!” Song Liyun grabbed the rabbit’s ears.
Within a few words, Xue Zhuang arrived with several town guards.
Behind them was Xiao An, who was panting heavily from running.
Xue Zhuang immediately spotted Sister-in-law Xu, who was still squatting on the ground crying. Her clothes were torn, and because of the heat, her thin clothes revealed half of her white back.
What a disgrace!
Xue Zhuang gritted his teeth in hatred, but he couldn't pretend not to see it; everyone knew that this was his wife's sister-in-law.
The woman's reputation was damaged, and he also lost face.
More importantly, although he was in charge of the town's security, the town was only separated from the outside by a wooden fence, so he was equally responsible if trouble broke out.
Xue Zhuang was furious. He had only just taken Xu Yan'er home, how could such a thing have happened?
In fact, all disputes happen suddenly, in just a few words or minutes, without warning or reason.
Even Song Liyun, the person involved, did not expect that a few words of argument over buying and selling things would lead to malicious harassment from those men.
If she doesn't break the group up immediately, who knows what might happen.
In this situation, not only Xue Zhuang, but even the garrison soldiers who had been patrolling the perimeter did not react in time.
Xue Zhuang walked up to Sister-in-law Xu in a few steps, took off his coat and threw it at her, angrily saying, "Isn't what we bought for the family enough? Why are you making a fool of yourself here? You should go back home."
After cursing Sister-in-law Xu, he walked toward the troublemakers with his eyes blazing with anger: "You dare to run wild on my Xue's turf? You're asking for trouble."
Sister-in-law Xu was both scared and ashamed, tears streaming down her face. She dared not raise her head or get up, and she even felt like she wanted to die.
However, with a man's clothes draped over her shoulders, the unfamiliar smell of sweat filling her nostrils, and seeing Xue Zhuang's naked body exposed to her, coupled with his bold and unrestrained words, a surge of heat coursed through her heart.
Sister-in-law Xu blushed and buried her head in Xue Zhuang's clothes, greedily inhaling the scent.
She couldn't help but envy Xu Yan'er, that fool. She was really lucky to find such a good man after only a few days away from home.
At this moment, Xiao Bao was still pulling the dog leash, carefree and teasing the dog, while the old man who had caused the trouble had long since disappeared with his willow basket.
Xue Zhuang had no idea that he had attracted unwanted attention again, and was still cooperating with the garrison soldiers to deal with these troublemakers.
There were six men lying on the ground. After a scolding, each of them was given five more lashes.
He pulled down the pants, lashed out with a leather whip, and the boy screamed and howled, admitting his mistake and promising never to do it again.
Xue Zhuang was also furious. He wasn't bothered that it was his relative who was being bullied; he just felt that these people's behavior had tarnished his job. He angrily shouted, "Next time? You want a next time? Listen up, all of you! Suijin Town is a military town now, with people both inside and outside the town in charge. If you bring your old antics from the town here again, you'd better watch out for your lives!"
Under the watchful eyes of the garrison cavalry, the men dared not resist and all declared that they would never dare to cause trouble in the town again.
Song Liyun had already picked up Xiao An and praised him with a smile, "Xiao An is such a brave young man. I'll fold you a paper windmill when we get back."
Today, Xiao An was able to go into town on his own to call for help and explain the situation, which is a significant improvement in his emotional and intellectual development and deserves praise.
Abu picked up Xiao An and tossed him around, praising, "Xiao An is a brave warrior who saved his sister. Come on, ride a horse."
Xiao An was overjoyed by the praise, and even forgot about the little dog he had bought with his own money. He mounted Abu's horse, clattering around the town, and headed straight back to Baolinju to make spicy rabbit heads.
Zhao Tingduo didn't leave; she dismounted and stood with Song Liyun to talk.
He stayed in Baolin for a few days. Although the two had not seen each other for two months, they felt no sense of estrangement.
What just happened?
He had just seen Song Liyun brandishing a stick, ready to fight someone. Her frail body, holding up the long wooden stick, looked like a small antelope surrounded by wolves, desperately resisting with its sharp horns.
Like a saxaul tree in a strong wind, his heart clenched. Fortunately, as soon as the soldiers arrived, these people fled.
He wanted to know why Song Liyun was facing these men alone.
Anyone would feel a little embarrassed if a handsome guy asked them why they fought with another man, especially if the reason was somewhat absurd.
Song Liyun stammered that she first got into an argument with someone over a puppy, and then inexplicably a man started harassing the woman inside.
"So, you took a wooden stick and went to save the woman you were arguing with?"
Hearing that such a big incident had been caused by a dog, Zhao Tingduo felt both amused and speechless.
He used to regard Song Liyun as a heroine like his own mother.
