Chapter 1405: Chapter 1400: Yan’er, Don’t Cry

A throng of people bustled about inside the thatched hut, causing a commotion. When Xiao Yu saw Su Miaoyan, she trembled even more violently, cowering in the corner like a wounded lamb, crying and pleading, “Don’t hit me! Don’t hit me! I’ll be good! Please don’t hit me, wuu wuu…”

Xiao Yu clenched the belly band in his hand while fury flashed in his eyes, his voice as cold as ice, “Kill them.”

The assassin immediately took action, a sword thrust through the throat, sword moves whirling, three men drenched in blood collapsed on the spot.

The village head and others were also knocked down by the powerful surge of the assassin’s inner strength, dizzy and disoriented. When they managed to stand up, they were so shocked they couldn’t finish their sentences, “You… you… you…”

“The village head, this person is too strong! Ah Niu, Da Huang… they’re all dead!”

Several young men tremblingly helped the village head up, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the assassin.

“Village head, run for it! Run!”

Half of them wanted to escape, but only a few, strong and tall with a measure of courage to defend the village, protested, “If we run now, what about the women and children in the village? Let them all be killed?”

They roared in anger, gripping their wooden clubs and harrows, launching an attack on the assassin. But in front of the assassin, they were as fragile as rice plants in the field, felled by a single sword stroke, without even a chance to resist.

Su Miaoyan, huddled in the corner of the wall, watched this scene and became even more terrified, “Blood… so much blood! Don’t bleed! Ah!!!”

She screamed shrilly, holding her head, her broken voice filled with quaking terror and fear.

Xiao Yu crouched down to hold her but couldn’t calm her down, and she was also very resistant to Xiao Yu, constantly pushing him away, “Don’t touch me! Don’t hit me! Don’t—”

Her heart-wrenching cries made Xiao Yu’s hatred surge, rising like towering waves, “Kill them all! Not one left!”

The assassin nodded, “Yes, Master.”

Before he could swing his sword, Xiao Qingyu arrived, loudly shouting, “Stop!”

Xiao Qingyu leaped over the fence and rushed in front of the assassin, “Stop, they are just innocent villagers!”

Seeing Xiao Qingyu, the assassin naturally dared not continue slaying, and simply turned to look at Xiao Yu for direction.

As Xiao Qingyu rushed to Xiao Yu’s side and saw his dusty appearance, he knew things were bad. His gaze shifted and fell upon the curled-up figure beside them, his eyes widening, “Sister-in-law!?”

She was indeed found, and alive!

A wave of joy swept across Xiao Qingyu’s face, “Sister-in-law is okay!”

He grabbed Xiao Yu’s arm, “Brother, you’ve found sister-in-law, why kill them? Hurry up and take her home!”

“They deserve to die!” Xiao Yu’s eyes were bloodshot, resembling an Asura from hell, grim and menacing.

Before Xiao Qingyu could even begin to inquire about what happened, Zhang Daying jumped out and cried loudly, “Another one has come! These outsiders want to destroy our village! Village head, run for your life! Otherwise, we’ll all be killed by this little vixen!”

“What little vixen! Shut up, don’t you dare insult my sister-in-law!” Xiao Qingyu raged when he saw her pointing and cursing at Su Miaoyan.

With a single look from Xiao Yu, the assassin’s sword moved swift and sharp as light, and with a whoosh, Zhang Daying’s arm was severed clean off.

It thudded to the ground, leaving everyone in the village dumbstruck.

Zhang Daying took some time even to cry out in pain, “Ah——!!”

Her coarse, shrill voice pierced the sky.

Xiao Qingyu had spent a long time persuading Xiao Yu before he stopped him from wanting to kill the entire village, but the most important reason was that Su Miaoyan had passed out.

Xiao Yu held her in his arms, feeling her weightlessness, and his heart ached to the extreme.

It seemed she had dislocated several bones, there was a large bump on her head, and many cuts and bruises on her body, as if she had been whipped and scraped by branches and vines.

Xiao Yu stuffed her bellyband into his chest, lifted her whole body, and gently leaned his forehead against her brow, as hot tears rolled down ceaselessly.

He was useless!

It wasn’t until now that he had come to find her, having let her suffer so much here.

Xiao Qingyu also felt very sad upon seeing this scene.

He gathered all the villagers into another household, interrogated them, and found out about Su Miaoyan.

The village chief was so scared he couldn’t speak clearly; trembling, he pointed at Zhang Daying, “It’s her… They found her, her brother! Picked up from a withered branch, a very spirited girl, they claimed her as their own as soon as they brought her back, keeping her to bear children for her brother.”

Xiao Qingyu, angered beyond measure, then turned to look at Zhang Daying, who had tough luck surviving with a broken arm, stopping the bleeding with ash and not yet dead. Now pale, she still glared at Xiao Qingyu with the defiance of a shrew, “What are you looking at me for! My brother’s wife, you think you can just take her away because you say so? Is there no justice?! The mountain god and the land spirit of this village won’t let you evil people off! Be careful of dying!”

Xiao Qingyu snorted coldly, “Being human, what is there to fear of ghosts and spirits? As for your family, saving my sister-in-law’s life was indeed a gracious act, but then you detained and humiliated her? My sister-in-law, a noble lady from the Prime Minister’s residence, madam of the Xiao family, you will pay the price for each and every injury on her!”

“What… what nonsense,” Zhang Daying, having never left the deep mountains, couldn’t understand what Xiao Qingyu was saying. She only knew that the people she had offended were too terrifying.

They came to the village and started killing and setting fires, chopped off her arm, and now they wanted to take the little vixen away!

Xiao Yu, holding Su Miaoyan, was pushed out by Zhuiying.

Xiao Qingyu approached and said in a low voice, “Brother, it’s getting dark, you should quickly take sister-in-law out of the mountains. That rope bridge is treacherous, sister-in-law urgently needs treatment, as for those who mistreated sister-in-law, we will come back another day to settle the score!”

Xiao Qingyu was also considering the well-being of the villagers here. Xiao Yu had already killed quite a few people after entering, and now he was merciless and cold-hearted, unlike before. If he loved Su Miaoyan, it wouldn’t be surprising if he killed everyone in the village.

Xiao Yu’s gaze was indifferent, “Zhuiying, kill.”

Zhuiying nodded and grasped the hilt of his sword, and then all the villagers began to tremble with fear, helpless elders and children all started to cry, and even some confused little kids cried loudly, not knowing what was happening.

“Wait, Zhuiying!”

Xiao Qingyu was stopping him, while also trying to persuade Xiao Yu, “Brother, sister-in-law is injured, it’s true, but if it weren’t for these villagers, sister-in-law would have lost her life! We can take our time with those who hurt her, but the other people here are truly innocent.”

Some may have bullied Su Miaoyan, but most likely only knew of her existence, they hadn’t personally met her.

To kill them all, wouldn’t that be a heinous crime?

Why go to such lengths!

Xiao Yu, holding Su Miaoyan, remained unmoved. All the tenderness and love in his eyes were reserved for the unconscious person in his arms. As for the villagers, he saw them as mere ants and couldn’t care less.
