"Actually, there's some truth to what they said."
"Killing someone like that was indeed a bit hasty."
"The Lin family's daughter seemed quite capable before. What if our land... is indeed fine?"
Many villagers in the crowd had already gained more hope when Lin Qixia said that the wheat fields were fine.
They also began to waver because of her words, and many people have now changed their minds.
"Put Miss Lin down. We shouldn't treat her like this."
"That's right, let her go."
Lin Qixia calmly observed the change in the villagers' attitudes and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, these people aren't inherently that bad.
"You're lying!"
At this moment, Zhao Shao roared, "Why do you think that just because you say the land is fine, it's really fine?"
As he spoke, he lit a torch and walked towards Lin Qixia.
"We already said we'd release them, why are you still going to attack?" Xue Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and tried to stop him.
Xue Yuchan shouted angrily, "Father!"
At the same time, Zhao Shao's brothers rushed forward and surrounded the pile of firewood to prevent Xue Cheng from getting close.
"You guys..." Xue Cheng paused for a moment, at a loss for words.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Lin Qixia shouted, "Huo Yanqing! Come out quickly!"
However, after she shouted that, her voice quieted down.
Nothing happened.
Lin Qixia, "?"
What's going on? That guy has pretty good hearing. Except for that time when he wasn't feeling well, he always showed up promptly whenever she called him.
Something's not right this time.
Lin Qixia continued to try another method, attempting to break free of one hand to blow the whistle he had given himself.
Unfortunately, she was tied up too tightly and had no room to move.
As Zhao Shao approached her, Lin Qixia's expression turned serious.
"Zhao Shao, what are you doing!"
He Zhilan panicked when she saw this.
However, just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by Yunxia and Li Shufen.
"Don't go over there, it's dangerous!" they said.
If things were to really escalate to the worst possible outcome, none of them wanted to wait until Lin Xiao arrived and find that they had lost even his wife.
I don't know how I'll face him then.
He Zhilan spoke with a sob in her voice, "Don't stop me! Didn't we agree to save Xia'er?"
"Sister-in-law, calm down. It's not that we don't want to help, but the situation is a bit complicated," Yunxia said calmly, her brows furrowed.
Li Shufen nodded, "That's right, you know how difficult it is to deal with that bastard Zhao Shao and those guys around him."
Those are well-known fighters in the vicinity of the village; how could they possibly deal with them on their own?
"You guys wait here! I'll go rescue Lin Yatou!" Zhang Dazhuang said to them through gritted teeth.
After all, he was the only man among them, and with that, he rushed over.
"Dazhuang!" Li Shufen called out with a worried expression, also concerned that something had happened to her husband.
This could be deadly. They've lived in this peaceful Xiahe Village for decades, where have they ever encountered such a dangerous moment?
Of course she was terrified.
She was too afraid to rush forward, even more afraid that if Zhang Dazhuang died, the worst-case scenario would occur. After all, in the past year, she had witnessed Yunxia's situation in the village after losing her husband.
She doesn't want to become like that.
only……
Li Shufen turned around and met He Zhilan's pitiful eyes, and she felt very sad for a moment.
After agonizing for a while, she slapped her thigh as if she had made up her mind: "Sigh! Looks like I have no choice but to go for it!"
"Yunxia, stop Zhilan! I'm going to help my husband save people!"
Regardless, she wanted to do her part and didn't want anything to happen to her husband.
"What?" He Zhilan was caught off guard, not expecting Li Shufen to suddenly do such a thing.
She looked at Yunxia, wanting to go and help as well.
She couldn't let everyone else rush up for them while she, as Lin Qixia's sister-in-law, stayed here and watched.
However, Yunxia remained calm in the face of her pleading eyes, "No, we can't all die here today."
We have to leave a few survivors to take care of the children.
He Zhilan pursed her lips, and after a moment spoke, "Tell my husband to take good care of Dong'er and Yi'er."
As she spoke, she shook off Yunxia's hand and rushed over.
"Zhilan!" Yunxia panicked upon seeing this and hurriedly chased after the other person.
Soon, a fight broke out between the group and the others, and the situation became extremely chaotic.
Many villagers who changed their minds and didn't want to hurt Lin Qixia also went to help.
"Let's see who dares to make a move!"
However, He Zhilan and her group, along with other villagers, were blocked and unable to stop Zhao Shao.
In particular, Zhao Shao's brothers all pulled out knives and clubs, which caused some timid people to not dare to go up.
Zhao Shao walked to the pile of firewood at Lin Qixia's feet, looking down at the people struggling below. "Heh, it's no use. Today, this bitch Lin Qixia must die here!"
"Heh, you're really confident." Lin Qixia said behind him, her eyes filled with mockery.
Zhao Shao turned to look at her, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Looks like you're not afraid of death, but no matter what, you're not escaping today."
"If you have any last words, I advise you to just say them."
Lin Qixia was amused by him, "Last words? I didn't expect that even though you wanted to kill someone, you were still taking good care of me."
"Me? I... I didn't! I didn't!"
Zhao Shao was bewildered by her attitude, and after realizing what she meant, he quickly retorted, "Pah! Stop talking nonsense!"
