Along the way, Ziyou had long since disappeared, while Zhiyin and her companion were desperately spurring their horses on, panting heavily as they ran.
Zhiyin's eyes were bloodshot, her blood was rushing to her head, and she kept praying that nothing bad would happen. She even broke out in a cold sweat.
"My dear granddaughter, don't worry, don't be afraid. Huahua and Xiaoyao will definitely be alright. Aren't there Yuanyuan, Mengmeng, and those wild beasts too?"
"They will definitely protect them, and Xinghe Village is so big, they might not necessarily run into danger."
"Besides them, Xiao Jun also went with the officials, so there's definitely nothing to worry about."
When Old Huang saw that Zhiyin was as cold as ice, and upon closer inspection, his hands were trembling. He didn't say a word, but his horse was moving so fast that it was almost a blur. Old Huang's heart clenched for a moment, and he quickly comforted him with concern.
At the same time, I was also very afraid that she would run too fast, fall, or have an accident.
"And perhaps these bandits are only after property and may not necessarily kill anyone."
That's what they said, but Old Huang's heart couldn't help but tighten. After all, bandits are known for their brutality and ruthlessness, and they would probably only try to eliminate them completely.
If there are no men in the village who can stand up to them, then they are truly in danger.
Upon hearing this, Zhiyin finally regained some of her composure. The bloodshot in her eyes slowly faded, and she gradually calmed down, letting out a sigh of relief.
Yes, everything will be alright. With Yuanyuan's mother and the big white wolf around, no matter what happens to others, they will always be safe and sound.
Even though she tried to comfort herself like this, her hands remained clenched tightly, clearly showing that she was still very nervous.
She couldn't imagine how helpless she would feel if she lost the two of them.
She had completely regarded the two of them as her own mother and sister, and she didn't want her loved ones to suffer any harm.
Damn bandits!!!
That's suicidal!!
A flash of ruthlessness and coldness crossed her eyes, but it vanished in an instant. Then she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace at Old Huang. "It's alright, Grandpa Huang, don't worry."
Old Huang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his kindred spirit had finally regained some of his senses.
They walked in silence, both of them tense, constantly praying that no bad news would come.
I hope Ziyou can save everyone.
"Whoa—!!"
Suddenly, Zhiyin seemed to sense something. He squinted at the person in front of him, and when he saw who it was, he abruptly stopped his horse.
His eyes lit up with joy, and he hurriedly got out of the carriage to inquire about the situation, "Magistrate Jun?"
She turned her gaze to the dozen or so men who were tightly bound and looked utterly dejected.
When they noticed the ferocity in their eyes and saw the many claw marks on their bodies, their skin torn and bleeding, they immediately realized that these must be bandits.
His blood boiled instantly, and ignoring all attempts to stop him, he jumped off his horse at lightning speed and kicked them several times. He couldn't help but curse in his dialect, "Damn it, a bunch of losers."
"Damn scum, you beast..."
While cursing her, he also punched them repeatedly, as if venting his anger.
"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Don't you even respect us anymore?"
"Oh, Elder Huang? Yinyin?"
"You guys are back?"
Jun Yexue was initially displeased when she saw a figure rushing over like a blur and kicking down the bandits.
They rushed forward to stop them, fearing that the bandits would be killed so easily, which would be too lenient for them.
However, upon seeing who it was, his initial displeasure vanished, and he instantly became delighted.
Upon seeing this, Old Huang frowned and asked, "Are these the bandits who broke into Xinghe Village?"
"How are Huahua and Xiao Yao? What happened to the other villagers in Xinghe Village? Were any of them injured?"
"No, no, don't worry. Apart from the residents of Xinghe Village suffering minor injuries, Huahua and Aunt Yao were a little frightened, but they were rescued by a big white wolf and a tiger, and they were not hurt at all."
"Look at the wounds on their bodies, they were torn apart by tigers."
Jun Yexue couldn't help but marvel as she spoke, "It's always been wild beasts that hurt people, this is the first time I've seen a wild beast actually help humans!"
"That's really amazing."
Upon hearing this, the officers nearby couldn't help but chatter amongst themselves, "Yeah, you guys don't know what that scene was like, it was so impressive!!"
"A black bear stood up like a human and slapped the bandits several times, sending them flying. It was incredibly fierce and terrifying!"
"These bandits were so scared that they wet their pants on the spot."
"But you know what, those wild beasts seemed to have some kind of intelligence. They didn't harm any of the other villagers at all. We thought they would eat the bandits, but they didn't."
…
Upon hearing this, both Zhiyin and Old Huang breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to listen anymore, so he punched the bandits hard again, beating them half to death. He couldn't wait to go back and see Zhihua.
"Oh, by the way, Yinyin, His Majesty has approved the establishment of that school!"
"The funds have also been allocated to build the academy; you just need to find the teacher."
Seeing her confidante bid her farewell and rush forward, Jun Yexue quickly called her back to add to the message.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Magistrate Jun!"
Upon hearing this, Zhiyin was overjoyed and quickly thanked her, but this was not the time to talk about it. After asking a few more questions, she hurriedly headed home.
