195 Save the Beauty
"Achen! Listen, I will find a way to cut off the reins later. We will jump on the horse and maybe we can break out of the siege while it is unprepared." Xie Xuan whispered to Xie Chen.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chen said, "Where is Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia? Do we ignore them?" Xie Chen looked at Xie Xuan with his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.
Such eyes made Xie Xuan bow his head and avoid it, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Achen! We can't control it, nor can we. It's still unknown whether we can escape as we wish!"
Even if they have missed Death countless times, who can guarantee that they will be equally lucky this time?
Xie Chen bit his lower lip, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
Xie Xuan knew that Xie Chen was blaming him and thought she was so heartless. Maybe! Xie Xuan sometimes wondered when her heart became so cold and hard? In the past, she could also watch Korean dramas and cry with a computer in her arms, but now, even life and death can be regarded as calm.
After all, we can't go back. In an era when people's lives are regarded as grass, how can people remain unchanged?
Xie Xuan gritted her teeth and let herself ignore the suffocating pain in her heart. "Achen! The ancients knew that if you were poor, you would be alone and if you were able to help the world, you would be able to do it. If you live for a lifetime, you must do it within your ability, and there are always some things that are necessary, but you have to do it. Achen, how difficult it is for us to get to where we are today. We must live. This is the expectation of our aunt and my mother."
Xie Chen had never asked how his mother was and what about the other Xie family members. He was a smart and sensitive child. Xie Xuan knew that he didn't ask because he had already guessed, but he was afraid to confirm, even if he had a trace of false hope.
Xie Chen didn't say anything, perhaps because he agreed to Xie Xuan's statement, but the tears were big, dripping on the back of his hands and clothes, dizzying a cloud of water.
Xie Xuan knew that he was feeling bad, so how could he feel good? But sometimes, he had to be cruel and turn his head. Xie Xuan hoarsely said, "A moment, we don't have much time, you have to be more alert and follow me..."
"Uncle! The carriage is full of female relatives, so please give it your best and don't disturb me, right? You can take away all the money." The footsteps suddenly approached this place, followed by Uncle Xia's panicked plea.
But his pleading caused the bandit to snort, and two unscrupulous points of inclination into his tone, saying, "Female family? Is there a delicate little lady hidden in this carriage? It just so happens that I still lack a wife to suppress the village! Brothers, is it just right for me to grab a sister-in-law for you to go back?"
The robbers naturally laughed and cheered, "The boss is mighty! The boss is mighty!"
The bandit was more excited when they coaxed together like this. Xie Xuan didn't have to go quietly to see it, and he knew that the man was afraid that he would approach the carriage majestic in his eight-character steps.
"Uncle! Give up your hands!"
It was Uncle Xia's voice. Xie Xuan frowned. A scholar, who faced so many robbers and was extremely unwise, was extremely unwise. Uncle Xia may not have known it, but he still did so without hesitation.
"Get out!" Xie Xuan heard the bandit's shout, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously raised her ears, and she didn't hear the sound of drawing the sword. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard a scream, "Master..." Aunt Xia could no longer help and rushed out of the carriage.
Although Aunt Xia is over thirty years old, she is still half-aged and has a charm.
Xie Xuan closed her eyes powerlessly. In front of these robbers with no moral bottom line and human nature, it is conceivable what the outcome of a woman would be.
Sure enough, there were whistles outside and Uncle Xia’s extremely sad and angry shouts, “Let go of my wife.”
"Sister Qi, what should I do?" Xie Chen's face turned pale with anxiety, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Do you really want to die and refuse to save me? Moreover, first Aunt Xia will be the turn of Sister Qi sooner or later. Xie Chen is ignorant and knows what the consequences would be if he falls into the hands of those robbers.
Xie Xuan was also thinking, and then, when she heard footsteps approaching their carriage, her almond eyes sharpened, and the short dagger on her waist had already sheathed out of the sheath, and it was held in her hand. The sharp blade reflected her eyes, cold and sharp...
Xie Chen hurried behind Xie Xuan, feeling that his heart had already bent to his throat.
The footsteps stopped outside the carriage, and two low laughters were heard. Isn’t it the bandit? Then, one hand had already put on the curtain, and was about to lift the curtain...
Xie Xuan's eyes were fixed on her hand for a moment, waiting for the best opportunity. Be sure to hit it with one blow, that was her only chance...
"Crack" Just as Xie Xuan was about to wave the dagger in her hand and cut the hand down on the spot, a feather arrow flew out from nowhere, which actually pierced the palm of the hand, and blood splashed out on the curtain of the car. Some drops even splashed on Xie Xuan's face, with a body heat and disgusting fishy smell...
Outside the car, the bandit started to scream like a pig.
"Sister!" Xie Chen rushed into Xie Xuan's arms, and both of them were shocked.
Outside the car, there was another sound of fighting and killing. What happened? Xie Xuan did not rashly lift the curtain to see. She didn't want to cause a crisis for a moment of impulse and also lost the opportunity.
The only thing she could do was wait. Although she didn't know whether what she had come was a turning point or another murderous intent.
There were endless sounds of killing outside, so Xie Xuan simply covered Xie Chen's ear, but with the other hand, she still held the dagger firmly.
Finally, the voice gradually calmed down and the outside became quiet.
Xie Xuan and Xie Chen looked at each other, is this... ending?
Xie Chen hesitated for a moment, finally plucked up the courage and slowly poked his hand towards the curtain of the car.
"Is it okay?" Just as Xie Chen's hand was about to touch the curtain, a voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage. It was low and hoarse, and it was like the wind in the desert wrapped in sand and stones, passing through the corridor, grinding a rough and unspeakable wildness.
Xie Xuan was stunned and subconsciously reached out her hand...
"Sister?" Xie Chen frowned in confusion, looking at his hand that was pressed tightly and unable to move, and turned his head to look at Xie Xuan, but was frightened by Xie Xuan's face at this moment.
Xie Xuan's face at this moment was pale and ugly when she encountered the robbers, and her expression was inexplicably entangled.
"Thank you for helping me." Xie Chen couldn't move, felt something was wrong, and he didn't dare to ask again.
Xie Xuan was tense at this time, staring at the curtain of the car in front of her, as if she was afraid that the person who was talking would rush over in the next moment, and her appearance was even more nervous than when the robber was about to come.
