One-Eyed King looked at the dagger stuck in his chest and then looked up at Jiang Qinyu in disbelief.
How was he able to stab him?
This question remained a knot in the One-Eyed King's heart for a period of time, and he never figured it out until his death.
As for Jiang Qinyu, she simply took advantage of the situation, accurately judged that the One-Eyed King was unable to retaliate at this moment, and used the friction of the stones on the ground to quickly slide in front of the One-Eyed King before making a swift move. That was all.
However, Jiang Qinyu took the dagger from the system's cashier counter. She didn't know why there was such a sharp dagger there, and the handle of the dagger was inlaid with many gorgeous gems. It would be too good for the One-Eyed King to keep it, so she had to take it.
So, after stabbing the one-eyed king, Jiang Qinyu drew her dagger without hesitation.
"You...this dagger is...it is..." The one-eyed king stared wide-eyed at the dagger in Jiang Qinyu's hand, "You took those things!"
This was clearly something he had put in the cave before, but now it was in this person's hands. Even if he was stupid, he would know that this person had taken it!
Jiang Qinyu remained calm and shouted, "Their leader is injured! Everyone, hurry up and take them down!"
After saying that, she raised the dagger, intending to deliver a fatal blow to the One-Eyed King. She had missed the mark earlier and needed to finish him off.
But this time, the One-Eyed King didn't let her succeed. He grabbed a bandit and took a knife for him, then turned and ran.
"Didn't he just say we weren't allowed to run? How come he's running so fast now?" Village Chief Li stared at One-Eyed King's retreating figure, dumbfounded.
Jiang Qinyu was furious when she didn't finish him off. She grabbed the one-eyed king's scapegoat and slashed his wrists twice, rendering him immobile.
"Uncle Village Chief, Dad, stop standing there! That one-eyed bastard has run away! Chase after him!" Jiang Qinyu was exhausted by the fact that anyone could still be distracted at a time like this.
One-Eyed King is the leader of this gang of bandits. If he gets away, what will happen?
"Hey, Lao Lu, hurry up! Our group and Lao Meng's group, let's go after them!" Village Chief Li flicked his forehead, grabbed the knife he had just picked up, and ran after them.
They had only run a few steps when they heard familiar female voices behind them.
"My God, old man, how did you get covered in blood? These bastards, I'm going to fight them to the death!"
"Big Hammer, Six Tooth, where are you... They killed Big Hammer! I'm going to kill those bastards!"
"Kill these damned bastards!"
"..."
The already chaotic scene became even more chaotic after a group of women suddenly appeared.
Jiang Qinyu only had time to turn around and glance back. When she saw that it was Chen Shi and Meng Shi, the village chief's wife, who had brought the village's strong women, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
This is truly incredible. With reinforcements like this, it's hard to tell whether to be afraid of the bandits or the men of Dingshui Village.
But she couldn't care less about that right now; the One-Eyed Dynasty had run off to the back mountain and was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Qinyu and the others also chased after them, but after a while, Village Chief Li stopped.
Looking at the dark mountains, Village Chief Li frowned and asked Jiang Qinyu, "What should we do? Should we continue chasing them?"
The back of Qinggang Mountain is also a large mountain range, and no one knows how many venomous snakes and ferocious beasts live there. It was also pitch black at night, so it was not a good time to track them down.
Jiang Qinyu naturally wanted to pursue him, because letting the One-Eyed King go would be a huge hidden danger for Dingshui Village, but the current situation made it impossible to continue pursuing him.
Even she was already somewhat exhausted, let alone Village Chief Li, Old Man Lu, and the others, who had put in far more effort than she had.
"We can't pursue them." Jiang Qinyu shook her head, sighing inwardly. Their future defense work needed to be put on the agenda.
Village Chief Li said with a bitter face, "But he just said he was going to massacre the village. Is it really okay to let him go?"
Jiang Qinyu shook her head, "He's the only one who ran away. Even if he wants to make a comeback, it will take time. We just need to be prepared."
The people in Yongshan County have either fled famine, sought refuge with relatives, or starved and died of thirst. Now there are hardly any people left in this area. It will definitely not be easy for One-Eyed King to rebuild his army and find enough food to feed so many people again.
"Then let's hurry back, we can't let the other bandits get away!" Old Man Lu said immediately.
The group quickly headed back, and when they arrived, Jiang Qinyu witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.
When the remaining bandits saw that the One-Eyed King had run away, they lost all will to fight and many of them chose to surrender.
The people of Dingshui Village pressed their advantage and captured them all in no time, binding them all with strips of cloth.
If they were all men, these surrendered bandits might have been spared, but the dozens of old women and middle-aged women who had just arrived would not let them off easily.
"Master, sever all their tendons!"
"Yes! Let's make sure they can't do evil again!"
"Search them too! Even their underwear!"
"Hahaha, Granny Liang, you're probably trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?"
"Bullshit! I wanted to strip them of their clothes and take them back to make shoe uppers for the men and children in the winter..."
So, except for a few women who were more shy, all the old women went down to strip the clothes off the bandits who had been subdued.
Village Chief Li's eyelids twitched. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then he thought about the situation in the village and decided against it. Anyway, these bandits didn't deserve any sympathy. It was already kind of them not to kill them all. What was there to be ashamed of being stripped naked?
"Uncle Village Chief, let everyone search the village again thoroughly to see if we can find any more food," Jiang Qinyu quickly reminded him, looking away.
Village Chief Li nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll go call them right now. We've suffered a great loss tonight, we can't let a single grain of food escape here!"
"I'm going to check on Li Dachui. Alas, he had such a hard life. How could he be the one who got hacked to death?" Old Man Lu hurriedly left.
Jiang Qinyu thought for a moment and then followed.
Li Dachui's wife's surname was Liu, and everyone in the village called her Granny Liu. When Old Man Lu and Jiang Qinyu walked up to them, they heard Granny Liu crying her heart out.
"Old man, how could you bear to leave our whole family behind? How are we supposed to live without you?"
"Mother, please don't hit Father. He did it all for the sake of our family's food..."
Jiang Qinyu saw Granny Liu punching Li Dachui's chest repeatedly. If this person were alive, how much pain would he be in?
Just as she was thinking this, a weak cough suddenly came from under Granny Liu's loud voice, "Cough cough cough... No, stop hitting me... I'm not dead yet..."
"Uh... Ah! It's a zombie!" Granny Liu suddenly stopped talking, then screamed and jumped away, pulling Liu Yazi along with her.
Jiang Qinyu: "..."
