Ning Wenyi took over Ning Jin's position, while Madam Ning assisted from the side, protecting the carriage.
"How is Jin'er? Is she alright?"
Ning Jin had several wounds on her body, the most serious being on her arm, where blood was flowing freely and could not be stopped.
Ning Jin was in so much pain he almost fainted. He forced himself to retrieve some hemostatic medicine from his storage space and quickly applied it to the wound. The bleeding stopped immediately, but the wound still ached.
"Mother, I'm fine. I have the medicine my third sister gave me, so I'll be alright!"
"If you can't hold on, get into the carriage!"
Fortunately, the carriage was parked on two sides with mountains behind it, so the refugees could only surround them from the other two directions. They were not attacked from both sides, which made things a little easier for them.
"Zhilan, be careful!" Ning Lang exclaimed from the carriage behind.
Upon hearing this, Zhilan immediately delivered a side kick, knocking one of the refugees to the ground.
Seeing the endless stream of refugees, Zhilan directly used the poison that Ningyao had given her.
It should not be used unless in a critical situation.
And now is the most critical moment!
She held her breath and forcefully sprayed the poison forward, instantly knocking down the first dozen or so refugees.
Seeing this, the others seemed somewhat wary and dared not step forward.
Zhilan gained a brief respite.
"There are too many refugees. If this continues, they'll either be beaten to death or worked to death! We need to think of another way!"
She turned to Ning Lang and said, "We'll stop the refugees, and Zhi Mei will drive the car to break through the encirclement. We'll go as far as we can!"
Ning Lang agreed without even thinking.
While using poison powder to deal with the refugees, Zhilan moved closer to Ning Wenyi.
As soon as the poison powder was released, the surrounding refugees collapsed to the ground instantly.
"Master, Ning Lang and I will try to stop the refugees. You drive out in the carriage. If we keep fighting like this, we'll only suffer losses!"
Ning Wenyi immediately decided: "I'll help you!"
At this point, regardless of whether they are masters or servants, the more people there are, the more opportunities they have.
Madam Ning overheard their conversation and turned to Ning Jin, saying, "Mother will help them. You drive the carriage and seize the opportunity to break out, understand?"
"Mother, I'll stay!"
"Don't be reckless. You're the most seriously injured. Staying here will only hold us back! Lele is in the carriage. The most important thing now is to protect yourself and her, understand?"
Ning Jin pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Madam Ning turned and yelled at Ning Wenyi, "Old man, I'm coming too!"
Ning Yao prepared various wound medicines for each of them, as well as poisons for self-defense and life-saving.
The same poison powder that Zhilan used was also available to others.
A handful of poison powder was thrown out, and more than a dozen refugees fell down instantly. As long as they worked together, it wouldn't be difficult to open up a path to escape.
Zhilan and Ninglang were responsible for the sides of the carriage, while Madam Ning and Ning Wenyi were responsible for clearing the way in front.
Their ruthlessness and mercilessness successfully instilled some fear in the displaced people.
Seeing this, Ning Jin raised her whip and struck the horse's rump hard, instantly tearing open the wound on her arm, and blood immediately seeped out.
Ning Jin disregarded everything else and immediately lashed out with two more whips. The horse, in pain, galloped away, and the carriage crashed into the refugees.
Seeing this, Zhi Mei also drove the carriage to follow.
The refugees were unable to dodge in time, and some were directly knocked away and died tragically under the horses' hooves and wheels.
The carriage broke through the encirclement in an instant, with Ning Wenyi and his three companions clinging tightly to the rear of the carriage while fighting off the fleeing refugees who were chasing after them.
"Master and Madam! Get in the carriage quickly!" Zhilan shouted sternly.
Ning Wenyi grabbed Madam Ning's arm with one hand and the back of the carriage frame with the other. With Zhilan pushing them from behind, the two of them used the momentum to flip onto the roof of the carriage.
Only Yu Zhilan and Ning Lang remained among the refugees.
Madam Ning knelt on the roof of the carriage and reached down, saying, "Zhilan, grab me!"
Ning Wenyi also reached out his hand to Ning Lang.
Seeing this, Zhilan sprinkled another handful of poison powder behind her back, then turned around and grabbed Madam Ning's hand.
Just as Madam Ning was about to exert force, she was hit by a stone thrown by the refugees. The intense pain caused her to loosen her grip and at the same time, she also let go of Zhilan's hand.
Zhilan fell straight down, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.
"Zhilan! Watch out!"
"Zhilan!"
"Sister Zhilan!"
As soon as Ning Lang climbed onto the roof of the car, he saw a horrifying scene.
Dozens of refugees swarmed forward and trampled Zhilan under their feet.
"Ah!!!" Zhilan screamed in agony.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage had traveled a considerable distance, and the remaining refugees, seeing that they had caught someone, all turned their attention to Zhilan.
"Zhilan!" Madam Ning wanted to jump off the carriage to save her.
At the critical moment, hundreds of tiny silver needles flew from afar and pierced the bodies of the refugees.
The refugees collapsed instantly.
Immediately afterwards, a long whip flew over, knocking away the refugees who were surrounding Zhilan. The whip nimbly twisted, wrapped around Zhilan's waist, and lifted her up, pulling her out of the encirclement.
The whip was retracted, and Zhilan flew over as well, then landed in someone's arms.
Zhilan knew someone had saved her. She forced herself to open her eyes and looked up, then smiled with relief.
"Miss, you've finally arrived. Zhilan has fulfilled her mission."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted.
Ning Yao fed her a pill and said softly, "Get some sleep, and leave the rest to me!"
Transfer Zhilan to Huayan's horse: "Take Zhilan to chase after the carriage!"
Hua Yan glanced at Zhi Lan, who had fallen into her arms, and nodded to Ning Yao, saying, "This servant understands."
Hua Yan turned her horse around and chased after the carriage.
Ning Yao narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, exuding a chilling aura, like a god of death.
"Who dares to hurt me!"
The next second, Ning Yao on horseback moved her fingers, and barbs appeared on the whip, sending chills down her spine.
With a lash of the whip, the refugees were instantly killed or wounded in droves.
Ning Yao showed no mercy; every lash she lashed out was a deadly move.
In her eyes, these refugees were no longer human.
There's no need to show mercy when killing livestock.
"Niece, I'm here to help you!"
"Sister, I want to join too!"
With the addition of Shen Ci'an and his son, Ning Yao moved even faster.
Moments later, the ground was littered with the corpses of refugees.
Ning Yao put away her whip, spurred her horse, and followed Shen Ci'an and his son in the direction of the carriage.
On the other side, Madam Ning lay in the carriage, while Dongyue and Zhimei bandaged her wounds.
The stone the refugee had thrown had a very sharp end that hit her right forearm, causing a fracture.
There was no doctor, and no one would treat this kind of injury. The only thing we could do was use the medicine powder Ning Yao gave us to stop the bleeding and apply a simple bandage to immobilize the wound.
Madam Ning was more worried about Zhilan than about her own injuries.
They all escaped, except for Zhilan.
"How am I going to explain this to Yao Yao? Zhi Lan did it to save us..."
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't let go, Zhilan wouldn't have fallen..."
The atmosphere inside the carriage was somber; everyone had witnessed the refugees rushing towards Zhilan.
Zhilan is likely in grave danger.
"Master, a horse is following behind, it looks like Zhilan!"
