Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

She glanced at the usually highly respected village chief, hoping that he would step forward at this moment.

However, the village chief looked pale and stood stiffly in place, without the courage to step forward to mediate.

Wang's heart sank, and the only remaining hope was shattered in an instant, turning into endless disappointment.

She quickly adjusted her mood and ran quickly to Xiao You's side. Facing the stern warrior named Ying Er, she suppressed her inner fear and tried her best to make her smile appear sincere and respectful.

Wang nodded and bowed, her tone almost pleading: "My dear warrior, everything just now was a misunderstanding. I apologize to you on behalf of my family's head. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive him this time."

Ying Er had a blank expression on his face, the dagger in his hand still firmly against Xiao You's neck.

Seeing this, Wang could only turn around helplessly on the spot, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and silently praying in her heart that there would be a turning point.

Finally, Fan Yanmu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke in a low but firm voice: "Let them go."

These four short words were like a pardon, instantly breaking the deadlock.

Upon hearing the voice, Ying Er sneered and slowly retracted the terrifying dagger.

The surrounding villagers had already been frightened into silence by the tense atmosphere. They held their breath, fearing that the sound of their breathing would bring unnecessary trouble.

The moment Ying Er put away his knife, Xiao You felt relieved, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Wang was quick-witted and supported him, allowing him to lean on her and limp back to Xiao Yunkai's side.

At this moment, Xiao Yunkai woke up slowly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he covered his head in pain and cried out in pain.

Witnessing this scene, Old Lady Xiao closed her lips tightly and sighed secretly in her heart.

Xiao Yunkai had just experienced a family dispute that led to the separation of the brothers, and now he has encountered this unexpected misfortune. It is really a double whammy.

She looked at the three strangers with eyes full of vigilance and suspicion. They were ruthless and obviously not good people.

Especially when she thought about how Ying Er's dagger almost took Xiao You's life just now, Mrs. Xiao was still frightened.

Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce. She glared at Xiao Zhixue viciously, as if she wanted to pour out all her guilt and resentment on this fool.

In her opinion, Xiao Zhixue was like a disaster star. Even though the family had already separated, she still brought endless troubles to the Xiao family.

At this moment, she wished she could cut Xiao Zhixue into pieces with her eyes.

Fan Yanmu slowly opened his eyes in silence, his gaze fixed directly on Xiao Zhixue.

The scene just now echoed in his mind - Xiao Zhixue seemed to casually pick up an inconspicuous pebble from the ground and fiddled with it gently with her fingers.

At that moment, the stone shot out like an arrow and hit Xiao Yunkai's forehead accurately.

The force and angle were just right. If it was a little stronger, it would probably pierce Xiao Yunkai's head.

What was even more shocking was that there were two people standing in front of Xiao Zhixue at the time. According to common sense, it was impossible for her to throw the stone silently without anyone noticing.

Fan Yanmu thought to himself that this woman was definitely not an ordinary citizen. Her agility was clearly the result of long-term training.

He became more and more convinced that Xiao Zhixue must be a spy sent by the enemy.

However, he was confused.

How did the enemy know in advance that they would escape here?

How could they ambush a woman here in advance to deal with them?

What kind of conspiracy and layout is hidden behind all this?

Xiao Zhixue was keenly aware of a sharp gaze fixed on her. She turned around and met Fan Yanmu's scrutinizing eyes.

She had a silly smile on her face, as if she was unaware of everything around her, but she was very clear-headed inside. Fan Yanmu must have witnessed what she had just done.

Fortunately, he did not make it public, otherwise, she might have to take action against him to ensure that her identity was not exposed.

In this intricate puzzle, Xiao Zhixue can only continue to disguise herself, bide her time, and wait for her chance to act.

She turned her gaze to Xiao Yunkai again. At this moment, Wang was carefully wiping the coagulated blood on his forehead with a rag.

The village chief used to be a man who stood up for justice, but now under the intimidation of those two people, he felt an unignorable fear in his heart.

His eyes moved back and forth between the dagger and the helplessness of the Xiao family. In the end, his sense of justice retreated sadly under the pressure of reality.

He chose to remain silent, leaving the Xiao family with nowhere to vent their anger, and did not dare to say a single fair word for them.

His lowered eyelids and slightly trembling lips silently expressed his helplessness and guilt.

The river water at the foot of the mountain seemed to sense the turmoil in the village and became increasingly turbulent.

The village chief shouted loudly: "Listen, the sound of water is getting louder and louder. Let's get out of here quickly!"

When the villagers heard the sound, they all looked frightened. They stood up and hurriedly packed the only luggage they had in their homes.

Old Mrs. Xiao watched the village chief leading the crowd farther and farther away, knowing in her heart that saving her life was the most important thing at the moment.

She temporarily suppressed her deep hatred towards Xiao Zhixue, gritted her teeth, stood up, and joined the crowd fleeing famine.

Xiao You and Wang supported Xiao Yunkai to get up with difficulty, and followed the panicked crowd with unsteady steps.

Seeing everyone leaving one after another, Xiao Wei also planned to flee with his family. However, at this moment, Xiao Zhixue's voice sounded behind him: "Dad, we won't go with them."

Xiao Wei recalled that he had already separated from the old lady. If he followed her now, he would not only be of no help, but might also cause others to disdain and look down on him.

So he sat back in his original place silently and said no more.

After the Xiao family members disappeared completely, Xiao Zhixue finally took off her indifferent disguise and walked straight to Fan Yanmu who had been watching the situation quietly: "Your injuries are quite serious. It is not advisable for you to continue running around. You should get treatment as soon as possible. As it happens, I know some medical skills. If you don't mind, I can treat you."

Fan Yanmu originally thought that Xiao Zhixue approached him for other purposes, or even to harm him, but when he heard these words, he was stunned.

He stared into her bright and deep eyes, and the complex emotions intertwined in them were elusive to him.

He really couldn't guess what purpose this woman had and what her plan was.

When Ying Yi and Ying Er heard that Xiao Zhixue actually knew medicine, they both looked at Fan Yanmu in surprise.

Ying Er even suggested eagerly: "Master, since she is willing to treat you, why not let her try? Your injury cannot be delayed any longer."

Fan Yanmu did not respond immediately, but raised his eyes and stared deeply at Xiao Zhixue.

Shadow One and Shadow Two watched this scene, feeling extremely anxious.

What happened to the master?

There is a doctor right in front of you, so why are you reluctant to receive treatment?
