"No, we don't know how skilled they are. Just in case, Tianqi, you and Tianming go and call Brother Liu over."
They could only act after dark.
"Dinner's almost ready. After you finish eating, you guys take Tiger Tooth back first, and while you're at it, call Brother Liu. On your way back, ambush them at the back mountain. The three of us will also head there later. Try to prevent them from entering the village to avoid harming innocent people."
"Okay, then be careful!"
"rest assured!"
After explaining everything, Xie Yushu and the others returned to the main room as if nothing had happened. Madam Lu and Madam Wang had already set out the meal, and upon seeing them come in, they immediately invited them to eat.
Huya was a little embarrassed, as Xie Baotian had forcibly pulled him to the table. He had originally intended to leave after dropping Chu Jinyu off, but Xie Baotian wouldn't let him go.
If Huya hadn't carried Chu Jinyu back, who knows what might have happened if he had been left in the cold for a while longer? That's why we had to invite him to stay for a meal to express our gratitude!
Fortunately, because of Xie Tianlin's wedding, the family had prepared a lot of things, and the meal included meat and eggs, so it was quite a feast.
He only cooked a bowl of lean meat porridge for Chu Jinyu.
Chu Jinyu became even more attached to Xie Yushu after returning. Upon seeing Xie Yushu, she wrapped herself in a small blanket and snuggled up to her, wanting Xie Yushu to feed her!
Xie Yushu naturally had to fulfill his wish, so she immediately picked him up and sat him at the dining table, feeding him by blowing on the food in small sips.
Chu Jinyu ate while saying happily.
"Mom's food is delicious!"
"Even if it's delicious, you can only eat a small bowl tonight. Eating too much will give you a stomachache. You can eat more after you've recovered in a few days, okay?"
"Yes! Mother, I know."
Chu Jinyu felt happier than ever before, and nodded obediently with her eyes narrowed.
After all, he was just a child. After more than ten days of this, being cold and tired, and not eating well, he was exhausted. If it weren't for Xie Yushu's belief that kept him going, he probably would have fallen asleep or fainted long ago.
Nestled in Xie Yushu's arms and having eaten, he felt warm all over and had a great sense of security. After eating some porridge, he fell asleep in no time.
After everyone finished eating, Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianming went to deliver Huya together. Xie Yushu stayed with Chu Jinyu for a while longer, then put him in bed and asked Lu Shi to watch over him. She then took Qu Xiaodie and Nanxing and went out.
When asked a question, Xie Yushu only said that she felt depressed because of Chu Jinyu's matter and wanted to go out for a walk to clear her mind.
Thinking of Chu Jinyu's situation, Madam Lu felt a tightness in her chest. How could such a good child not be hers?
Although the child adores his own daughter, it's not hard to see that his own daughter also truly loves the child. But after all, he's not her own child, and it's uncertain whether the Xiao family can take the child back!
No wonder the daughter is upset; she's upset too!
It's good to relax. Since Qu Xiaodie and Nanxing are with her, Madam Lu isn't worried. She just told them to come back early and then let them go!
To let those people know that she was Xie Yushu and that she had come out, Xie Yushu and her friends started acting as soon as they stepped out the door. First, Xie Yushu ran away angrily, and Qu Xiaodie and Nanxing chased after her while deliberately calling out "Xie Yushu, Xie Yushu!"
"Oh dear! Xie Yushu, don't be angry. Your godmother didn't mean to scold you! Come back here!"
"Sister Yushu, don't be angry. Go back and apologize to your aunt. You are mother and daughter, and your aunt won't blame you!"
"Xie Yushu, don't be temperamental. What are you doing running around like this so late at night..."
One person ran and chased all the way to the back mountain.
By this time, it was completely dark, and every house was locked. The group was just about to make their move when several women ran out of the village, calling out Xie Yushu's name. It was impossible for them not to recognize them.
Seeing the three people run away in front of them, the group exchanged glances and followed.
"We thought it would take a lot of effort, but this little wench actually ran out on her own. It's like heaven is helping us!"
"But what if there are two more people?"
"Knocked her out. This damn mission was already terrible. If it weren't for the old general's patronage, I wouldn't have bothered with it. We're men who defend our country on the battlefield, what's the big deal about killing a little girl!"
"Who told us to be both kind-hearted and unlucky! To end up with a bastard like Chu Mingzhu! Once we've repaid this debt of gratitude enough, I'm not putting up with this anymore!"
"Sigh! Let's not talk about that now. Let's finish the mission, go back and train another batch of guards for her, and then we can resign."
Several people followed while complaining.
As the saying goes, the moon is fullest on the sixteenth day of the lunar month. Today is the sixteenth. When the group arrived at the place under the cool moonlight, Xie Yushu was sitting on a large rock with one leg bent and her chin resting on her hand, waiting for them.
Qu Xiaodie and Nan Xing stood on either side of Xie Yushu.
Seeing that they had arrived, Xie Yushu smiled and said...
"You've come to kill me?"
Did Chu Mingzhu send you?
The group of people were taken aback, somewhat surprised.
After a moment, the leader said
"Now that you know, don't blame us. We're just following orders!"
We don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Xie Yushu stays, the other two can leave.
"I suppose you still have some conscience. Well then, I'll give you a piece of advice: turn around and go back now, and I'll pretend you were never here. Otherwise, your fate today is up to fate!"
"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you!"
Seeing that Xie Yushu was unmoved, the men stopped being coy and drew their swords to attack.
Xie Yushu clapped her hands, and Xie Tianqi and the others who had been lying in ambush nearby jumped out.
"You! You knew we were coming all along?"
The man at the head of the group looked shocked.
"I don't like seeing blood. Like I said, leave now, and I'll pretend you were never here!"
Several people hesitated!
Seeing this, Liu Qiang stepped forward and said fiercely.
"You should know that you weren't the first group to arrive, right? Do you think the four of you are better than those four people?"
"If you insist on taking action, we wouldn't mind sending the four of you to keep them company?"
"How are they? What did you do to them?"
"Hmph! You'll find out when you meet them!"
Liu Qiang's every word was laced with veiled threat, his speech domineering and sophisticated, far more ruthless than Xie Tianqi and Xie Yushu.
The group suddenly felt uncertain.
"Brother, why don't we retreat? Chu Mingzhu isn't worth us risking our lives for!"
"That's right. We'd risk our lives to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but she's just a young woman. We don't need to risk our lives for her!"
The leader hesitated for a moment, then said in a harsh voice.
"Didn't you want to repay your debt of gratitude and get out of there as soon as possible? You should do something for her to settle this debt of gratitude. Since she wants to get rid of Xie Yushu, let's get rid of Xie Yushu today, and then we won't owe the Chu family anything."
These are all young people. Even if there are many of them, their kung fu skills are not that great. You and I are both veterans of the battlefield, and today we may shed a little blood, which will be enough to repay General Chu.
"After we finish this job, we'll be even with the Chu family!"
"Alright, big brother, I'll do as you say!"
The group exchanged glances, then simultaneously raised their knives and slashed at Xie Yushu and her companions.
