These people thought they had encountered a double-cross, and never imagined that Xu Jinhuan and the people in the carriage were in cahoots.
Therefore, they all smiled obsequiously at Xu Jinhuan, while saying that they were helping Xu Jinhuan rob their own homes.
Xu Jinhuan smiled and glanced at them. "I don't think it's anything special."
"That's good, huh?" The man thought Xu Jinhuan would agree readily and nodded, but then he realized what the other person was saying.
Although their minds were still blank, they quickly took two steps back, afraid that Xu Jinhuan's knife would suddenly fly into their bodies.
Xu Jinhuan flicked the long sword in his hand and gave orders to the guards not far away.
"Second An, tie them up and interrogate them thoroughly. I want to see who dares to dispose of my property without my permission."
She emphasized the phrase "my property" very much.
"My...property?!" While most of the people were still looking at each other in disbelief, they were grabbed by the guards and their hands and feet were quickly tied.
The onlookers looked at Xu Jinhuan in confusion. So this powerful girl was the leader of those people?
Weren't they just pulling the tiger's fur out of its face? Were they courting death?
Xu Jinhuan glanced at the stunned refugees and knew that they had just been used by those few people, but she would not be so kind as to take them in.
Therefore, he simply advised, "The temperature is getting higher and higher. If you really have nowhere to go, I suggest you go to the mountains to take shelter and store up more water."
Whether they listen or not is none of Xu Jinhuan's business.
Xu Jinhuan walked to the vicinity of the carriage and said to the elderly, weak, women and children, "Everyone, pack your things and let's get going as soon as possible."
"Yes, Boss Xu," everyone replied in unison.
Xu Jinhuan had just finished instructing everyone when she heard an unusual sound. She looked closely and saw a person who was tied up not far away throwing things in her direction.
That is...
Explosives?!
Xu Jinhuan immediately activated her mental energy protection, but there were simply too many people around her. She wasn't a mental ability user, so the mental energy she could mobilize was limited.
Xu Jinhuan hesitated for a moment between "protecting himself" and "completing the mission and gaining the protagonist's halo".
Before she could make a decision, someone suddenly broke through her mental defenses.
"How many times have I told you to harden your heart? Now you're going to do something stupid again? You're so incredibly idiotic!"
While complaining, Kong Duiyue tried her best to release her mental energy to help Xu Jinhuan reduce the damage caused by the explosion.
Although his tone was disdainful, his eyes were full of heartache and lingering fear. He dared not imagine what would have happened if he had been any later...
Xu Jinhuan stared at the person in front of him in astonishment. Kong Duiyue? That mental energy was indeed his. Wait, that familiar tone... Zhou Zhou?!
No way, since he's already found me, why doesn't he acknowledge me?
Although Xu Jinhuan was somewhat unsettled, he still managed to do his best to handle the task at hand.
With the support of Kong Duiyue's spiritual power, the explosives were quickly dealt with.
"Zhou Zhou?" Xu Jinhuan called out tentatively.
Kong Duiyue opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.
Damn it, why did it have to be this time!
As Xu Jinhuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from Kong Duiyue's wounds, he called out anxiously, "Xie Guangbai, come here quickly!"
As soon as the explosives went off, many people closed their eyes in fright, including Xie Guangbai.
He opened his eyes only when he heard Xu Jinhuan's shout, and was somewhat pleased to see that nothing was wrong.
"Master, why did you call for me...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Kong Duiyue coughing up blood and immediately put down the medicine box on his shoulder in surprise.
"Brother Kong, what's wrong? You shouldn't be vomiting so much blood after taking my medicine," Xie Guangbai muttered as he reached out to check Kong Duiyue's pulse.
Unexpectedly, Kong Duiyue waved her hand and refused.
"I know my own body... Can I... talk to Jin Huan for a while?"
Seeing that the patient was not cooperating, Xie Guangbai could only turn to look at Xu Jinhuan, only to be surprised to find that his master, who was always calm in the face of trouble, had slightly red eyes.
He... he didn't see anything!
Will he really be killed by his master tomorrow just because he stepped into the room with his right foot?
Seeing that Kong Duiyue insisted, Xu Jinhuan could only sigh helplessly and said to Xie Guangbai, "In that case, you go and wait aside. We might need you later."
Xie Guangbai picked up his small medicine box and respectfully left, giving the two of them some space.
Those who were originally standing around moved away upon seeing this scene. Even the most dim-witted person would know that these two had saved everyone.
"I never expected that this sickly little Kong would be so capable. What a pity."
"Sigh, when Boss Xu stood at the front, I almost burst into tears. Even my parents aren't as great as her."
Xu Jinhuan, whom they were talking about, had no time to pay attention to her surroundings. She looked worriedly at Kong Duiyue, who was vomiting blood, and kept transferring her internal energy into him.
"Zhou Zhou, you've already died in front of me once, do you want to die a second time? I won't allow it!"
Kong Duiyue gently patted Xu Jinhuan's hand, which was channeling internal energy, and said softly, "That's enough, Jinhuan. This body... is already... no good. It's useless."
After Kong Duiyue finished speaking, she laboriously raised her hand and solemnly wiped away the tears on Xu Jinhuan's face.
"Don't... cry."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and lightly pressed several acupoints on his body with his fingers, and his face suddenly became a little rosy.
"You, you'll be faster this way..." Xu Jinhuan looked at Kong Duiyue in disbelief.
Kong Duiyue chuckled lightly, "But I have a lot to say to you. In my current state, I'm afraid I'd be gone before I could even finish speaking."
After saying that, he pressed down on Xu Jinhuan's hand, which was still channeling internal energy, and said with a serious expression.
"Jin Huan, I don't know how much of what I'm about to say will be heard, but you have to believe me, I'm not so easy to kill."
Xu Jinhuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Could there be some hidden story here?
However, there was no time for her to think it through carefully. Xu Jinhuan could only hear Zhou Zhou struggling to say something, but her ears seemed to be soundproof, and she couldn't hear many of the words clearly.
"Kong Duiyue was mine... ...only five years, so Kong Duiyue's death wasn't because of you, you don't need to feel guilty."
You don't need to worry, I... will come to find you, and then everything will be clear. Just follow your heart now.
After Kong Duiyue finished speaking, he saw a look of confusion on Xu Jinhuan's face. He chuckled and finally wiped away the tears on his beloved's face.
"Take good care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hand beside Xu Jinhuan's face fell heavily to the ground, signifying that Kong Duiyue had left.
"Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou!"
