I only heard the sharp sound, and the next moment, the cold light penetrated Butu's back. I saw him twitching for a moment, sitting stiffly on the horse's back. His eyes widened, as if even his eyes were about to protrude.

A little cold light appeared on his chest.

It's the tip of an arrow!

"Brother Butu!"

Everyone around exclaimed, and Butu shook on the horse's back and fell down, causing huge splashes of water.

I opened my eyes wide and couldn't believe what was happening in front of me. When he was caught, I saw a few people carrying quiveres and holding longbows on the other side of the river running out of the woods. They were moving vigorously, running into the river while raising arrows.

Behind them, a large group of people rushed out.

Suddenly, arrows were as dense as rain, and they flew towards this side. Several people were caught one after another, and the huge splashes of water almost swallowed me up.

The rest of the people began to panic and hurriedly rode their horses to retreat to the river.

Just in a panic, I stepped on a stone pit at the bottom of the river and fell down. The turbulent river water and the whizzing arrows above my head flew past. I didn't dare to emerge for a long time. It was not until this time that I carefully stood up from the river water. I saw those people running to the center of the water and standing around me in a circle. Although they were all dressed in civilian clothes and dressed in ordinary farmers, their fully armed appearance and superb archery skills were obviously not ordinary farmers.

And, they saved me!

I gasped and looked at them in disbelief. The strange faces looked very solemn. Except for a dozen people standing beside me, the rest of them waded through the river and rushed to the shore, as if they were going to expel those people.

From afar, I could still hear the screams from the pine forest and the long neighing of horses.

After a while, the voices gradually subsided, and several horses slowly walked out of the woods. They were my guards. They seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle. Everyone was covered in blood and panting with a fierce look on their faces. Seeing me standing in the middle of the river, a large area of ​​red blood beside me, and those who were standing beside me with swords, the leader hurriedly said: "Miss, are you okay?"

I was still a little overwhelmed and just shook my head gently.

When we were just sniped by Butu and someone, I gestured to them on the horse's back. The first gesture was "scattered", and the second gesture was "counterattack". Obviously they had completed the second command.

But, all this happened so quickly that I had escaped myself before I even reacted.

But who saved me?

I looked up at the people around me, all with strange faces, and none of them were familiar. I hesitated and asked: "You are—"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the other side of the river.

"Miss!"

As soon as I heard this sound, my heart beats a moment, and I quickly turn around and see a man stumble out of the woods. His slightly fat figure makes it difficult for her to walk on the bumpy river beach. There are also people around me carrying bows and arrows and young men holding scimitars to support her.

It's Aunt Hong!

I couldn't believe my eyes, but the person who was so excited that he ignored it, stepped into the river with one foot, and even ignored the dissuasion of the people around him, was clearly my aunt Hong!

She's here?

I stood in the middle of the river, letting the cold river water flow through me until she was supported by someone to walk in front of me. The fully armed men around me also took a step back and whispered to her "Aunt Hong".

She brought someone to save me!

I stood still and didn't move. Aunt Hong's face was covered in water, not knowing whether it was tears or river water, so she came over and grabbed my arm: "Miss, Miss, are you okay? Are you not injured?"

"Aunt Hong..."

At this moment, I was completely confused.

Just now, Butu told me that this time there would be no more Bodhisattvas to save me, and I sneered and replied, "My mother will help me again." In fact, I just wanted to delay the time and wait for my guards to come to save me. I didn't expect this would be the result.

Aunt Hong actually brought someone to save me!

Is God helping me?

However, she suddenly touched my arm, and the place she had just fallen from the horse's back and hit me, causing me to shrink.

Aunt Hong was so scared that she hurriedly retracted her hand: "Miss, are you injured?"

"I--"

Not only my shoulders, but also my knees, the back of my head, the back, and the bruises everywhere I was knocked out when I rolled down, as well as arrow injuries at my ankles. I was too nervous just now and couldn't feel them at all. At this time, it seemed like I was letting all the pain out of the cage, knocking me down in one go.

Aunt Hong hurriedly came forward to support me, and anxiously greeted the people around her: "Hurry up! The eldest lady is injured! Send the eldest lady back to the village!"

|

I was sweating profusely in pain and was escorted across the river by them. Someone brought a very old-fashioned rattan chair, put me on it, and walked staggeringly to the opposite side. I sat on the rattan chair with my back, feeling that the sunlight above my head was so shaking that I couldn't open my eyes.

After crossing the river and walking through a small forest, a spacious and flat road appeared in front of me, leading directly to the village ahead. A tall Gantang tree planted at the entrance of the village, with lush branches and leaves, and had produced many green fruits. When they carried the rattan chairs and walked under the tree, the sunlight leaked from the gaps between the leaves, making me feel a little lost.

After that, I am already a little confused about how to enter this village.

I just felt like I was still in the river, impacted by the turbulent river water, and my ears were filled with noisy and noisy sounds. I felt more and more depressed. Finally, when the pain in my body kept coming, I fell asleep.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! When you wake up again, when you open your eyes, you will see Aunt Hong worried.

She sat by the bed and guarded me. When she saw me awake, she immediately said happily: "Miss, you are awake!"

"Aunt Hong..."

I called her happily, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt a fire in my throat. I immediately started coughing. She hurriedly poured me a cup of tea. I was so thirsty that I had to reach out to take it, but I realized that my shoulders and arms were wrapped in thick bandages, and my fingertips were numb and difficult to move. She said, "Miss, don't do it. Your shoulder has been hit. You have to take it well. Don't move around these days."

After saying that, she reached out to help me sit up and brought the teacup to my mouth.

I drank several sips in her hand, and my throat finally felt a little more comfortable. Aunt Hong put the cup on the table, then turned around and walked back to the bed, looked down at me, and said with great distress: "Miss, does it still hurt? Is there anything else to feel uncomfortable?"

I hurriedly shook my head: "It's okay."

"Oh, fortunately our people came in time, otherwise I wouldn't know how they would treat the eldest lady. If the wife knew about this injury, she would feel sorry for her!"

“…”

She said, her eyes turned red and she began to sob.

Of course I knew she felt sorry for me. Although there was still a faint pain on her body, I could only endure it myself and forcefully smiled to comfort her. While comforting her, I sorted out my somewhat disordered thoughts clearly-

After all, her appearance was beyond my expectations.

When she finally calmed down and sat on the edge of the bed to help me clean up the messy hair in my ears, I said softly: "Aunt Hong, this is--"

She said: "This is Gantang Village."

Gantang Village, the location of the Yan Family Ancestral Hall.

The tall Gantang tree I saw when I entered the village should be the origin of the name of this village.

Thinking of this, I looked up and looked at the room, and found that it was a very tall and spacious room, but it was very simple and simple. Apart from some essential cabinets, there was almost no decoration. Even the door leading to the outside was hung with a thick blue cloth curtain.

It looks a bit like the house in Jixiang Village.

I said, "Aunt Hong, why did you come here?"

Aunt Hong looked at me: "Is it because of that old lady who came this time? Is it because of that - the old lady is making trouble in the Yan family again?"

I nodded.

|

The candlestick beside the bed was emitting light quietly, but it suddenly burst out every once in a while, and the puff sound seemed a little abrupt in the room.

Aunt Hong and I intermittently told everything that happened this time.

When Xue Qian asked Pei Yuanxiu to find Yan Gang, Aunt Hong's brows frowned and said hatefully: "I have never seen anyone who is more ignorant than her!"

"Aunt Hong..."

"I already know about the eldest lady's affairs in Jinling. So when Pei Yuanxiu came, I knew that there was nothing good. But I didn't expect that he had already colluded with Xue. This time, I secretly found out that they wanted to take this opportunity to gather the elders of the Yan family, not only to deal with the head of the family, but also to deal with the eldest lady. I knew that the woman was fainting again!"

Aunt Hong became more and more angry as she spoke, and said angrily: "To be honest, I have lived for most of my life and have never seen such a confused woman. Why did you say that for her back then—"

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused.

Looking at my somewhat gloomy eyes, she swallowed everything behind her and continued, "I found out that she was going to summon the elders of the Yan family to the ancestral hall, but how could I just sit there and watch them succeed? If that's the case, let alone the Yan family, we can't have good fruits to eat in the entire Xichuan!"

"So, are you here?"

"Yes, they can't let them do whatever they want!"

Hearing this, a smile couldn't help but rise on my face.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Hong is so old, but she is still so thoughtful and meticulous. I only thought about coming to the ancestral temple to find someone to help me after Pei Yuanxiu went to find Yan Gang. She had thought about it so early.

I smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Hong."

When Aunt Hong heard this, she felt as if she had been stabbed by a needle: "Miss, why are you still saying thank you to me?"

Seeing her anxious to blame me, I laughed hurriedly. She held my hand again, patted the back of my hand vigorously, and said, "I have already sorted out some of the people and things here in advance. Please rest assured, Miss Ma. Mr. Ma also knows the purpose of the lady, and he will make the decision."

Mr. Ma, that is—

Seeing that I was a little unfamiliar with this name, Aunt Hong hurriedly said, "He is the person next to the old man and the elder of this village."

I immediately understood: "He is the one who guards the ancestral hall for the Yan family."

"right."

"Is he here now?"

"Well. He is the one who is in the village, big and small. Don't look at how old he is, he is very sober."

When I heard this, I was very happy. In fact, on the way I came before and I was a little worried. A person who had done things with his great-grandfather should be close to the age of being a slaughter. I was afraid that people of such an old age might be confused or lingering in sickness. Unexpectedly, when Aunt Hong said that, the old man was still very energetic.

Aunt Hong continued, "The people patrolling in the village found that someone had entered the pine forest. As soon as they described it, I knew it was the eldest lady who came. I was afraid that the eldest lady would suffer a loss, so I told him that he would bring someone to help. Fortunately, he agreed and asked the group of people to follow me, otherwise the eldest lady would really suffer a loss."
