Chapter 549 Extra - I'm Back
Hearing the sounds of war outside, Chen Shi peeked out and saw many civilians holding torches and carrying all sorts of tools.
In such a situation, how could the guard possibly bring down his sword?
Especially today, there are many corpses being transported, and a large number of civilians are also being transported.
Even though Ye Zhiyuan tried to persuade them for a long time, everyone was still eager to do it.
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, the sky, which had been covered with a crescent moon, suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and a cold wind seemed to bring a chill before a downpour.
Finally, as the first lightning bolt ripped through the sky, the people took action.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Hearing the sounds of chaos and turmoil outside, Chen Shi and Shu Tong could no longer sit still and jumped off the carriage.
The guards dared not draw their swords and could only block them with their bodies, but there were too many people trying to rob them; several carriages were piled high with people.
They pulled the body down and tried to identify it. Those who recognized it cried as they carried the body away.
Some guards gave chase, while others tried to stop them.
With a sudden clap of thunder followed by torrential rain, the situation became completely out of control.
In the chaos, Chen Shi caught a glimpse of her lucky charm in a flash of lightning. Her heart tightened, and she rushed over, pushing through the crowd to find Xiao Xing's body lying under the carriage.
Chen Shi's grief was beyond words; she tightly shielded Xiao Xing between the carriage and her body.
During this time, someone kicked her, stomped on her, and someone accidentally hit her with a wooden stick.
She clung stubbornly to the carriage, refusing to move, her tears mingling with the rain, making it impossible to tell what was flowing.
Ye Zhiyuan suddenly saw Chen Shi under the carriage while he was blocking the crowd.
He tried to pull her, but he couldn't budge her no matter what he did.
"Chen Shi! Get up! It's dangerous here!"
Chen Shi's voice was choked with sobs: "No, I have to protect Xiao Xing. He's already gone, I can't let him get hurt again."
Ye Zhiyuan looked down and, in the flash of lightning, saw Xiaoxing, whom she was tightly protecting, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Unable to pull her away, he could only use his body to block Chen Shi. In that instant, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.
I don't want her to get hurt.
I also don't want the people she's protecting to get hurt.
Shu Tong only saw Chen Shi's figure flash by before disappearing. Anxious and worried, she could only search for him in the crowd.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and torrential rain poured down. Only through the gaps in lightning could one see what was happening on the scene. Shu Tong was knocked down by the crowd, falling several times and looking extremely disheveled.
Chen Ci's men heard the commotion from afar. In a panic, he slapped his whip hard on the horse's rump, and the horse reared up and neighed as it galloped forward.
Sure enough, he saw what was ahead by the light of the lightning.
Unfortunately, Shu Tong had just fallen to the ground when some civilians were carrying a corpse in front of her, about to trample on her.
Chen Ci reined in his horse, leaped off, and landed directly in front of Shu Tong, shielding her from the crowd.
Shu Tong suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes, a familiar scent wafted into her nostrils, and then the rain on her head began to subside.
Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and she clearly saw that the man who was opening his arms to protect her was none other than Chen Ci.
In an instant, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and tears began to stream down her face.
For some reason, the sadness she felt and the strength she had been putting on began to crumble the moment she saw Chen Ci.
The sadness was so overwhelming, it was almost uncontrollable.
Chen Ci helped her up, his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm back."
