Chapter Twenty-Three: Robbery of People's Daughters

Although the woman's last words made Zhong Yueyun's heart a little bitter, these words brought her more excitement and hope for the sick tree to meet the spring. The woman's words were the oasis she saw after she was deep in the desert, and the corners of Zhong Yueyun's mouth couldn't help but hook up a beautiful arc. She suppressed the excitement and hope in her heart, and she had a lot of courage in her heart.

"Boom! - Knock! ”

"Boom! - Knock! ”

"Boom! - Knock! ”

"Sound the gong, close the doors and windows, and watch out for the candles!" The sound of three gongs, one slow and one fast, shook Zhong Yueyun's thoughts, and looked at the street shrouded in darkness, there was no longer a man's shadow in front of her, and she said angrily: "Oh no! He hurriedly quickened his pace and followed. Thankfully, the street was a straight road, and she quickly found it back and picked it up effortlessly.

After the first shift was knocked, the lights in the windows of the house were extinguished a few more times. The streets are getting darker and darker, and the people are getting more and more deserted. Zhong Yueyun followed the man closely, the street became narrower and narrower, and she unconsciously walked into an entangled labyrinth. The countless small streets, forks in the road, and dead alleys all around it seem to be the 'masterpieces' of graffiti by naughty children in order to disturb them.

"What kind of street is this? How did he come to such a place? "The houses here look poor and dilapidated. The four words of broken tile cold kiln can describe it very concisely and accurately. Zhong Yueyun frowned, and her doubts could not be dissipated in her heart.

In the criss-crossed and chaotic streets, Zhong Yueyun was completely disoriented. But the man continued to follow a path that seemed familiar, without hesitation, and his steps were getting faster and faster. Zhong Yueyun felt that the man might have noticed her, but at this time she had no idea where she was. There was no way back for her. Suddenly, the man stopped abruptly. Zhong Yueyun immediately squatted on the ground, hiding in the shadow of a bamboo shed, she looked at the man nervously, her whole body was as nervous as a stone, sinking like a lead, trying to save it, it was too late, her heart almost rose to her throat.

Zhong Yueyun faintly saw the man hook the corners of his lips, and the smile was a naked contempt.

Did he find her?

No. Zhong Yueyun was ready to fight him. Suddenly, he turned around and walked on.

Zhong Yueyun looked at the palms that were already full of sweat, sticky and damp and extremely uncomfortable, she wiped them casually and continued to follow. There is no way back, only forward.

Zhong Yueyun watched the man turn a street corner, and the figure disappeared into her eyes. She hurriedly quickened her pace to avoid losing it. Suddenly, a scream full of panic rang out.

She hurried to catch up.

The street was pitch black, except for a lone lamp hanging from a tall pavilion with a dying twist of oil. Zhong Yueyun leaned on the dim light and saw two ragged men hugging a girl, trying their best to stop her from shouting, but the woman was still struggling with all her might. The woman was also accompanied by a snow-white puppy with a solid color, which was now baring its sharp teeth and barking at the two bad guys.

Zhong Yueyun quickly looked around, the man was gone, there was a fork in the road after the corner, and the man should have walked from one road.

"It's not a good thing! Seeing this kind of robbery of people's daughters, he actually left indifferently, scum! Zhong Yueyun scolded secretly, and he couldn't move his feet when he wanted to chase the man.

The heart was beating uncontrollably, beating faster and faster, beating faster and faster, like a drum beat that was getting faster and faster, only in her mind, especially loud. She looked around with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and saw a few pedestrians coming at a fork not far away, her eyes lit up, and she shouted in her voice: "Help!" Help me! Robbed the people's daughter! ”

The pedestrians turned their heads, discussed a few words, and then began to walk towards Zhong Yueyun. The man on the left in the alley was putting a dirty hand into the woman's trouser belt. Zhong Yueyun was furious, his teeth were gritted and "gurgling", and an uncontrollable anger burst out of his eyes, like an enraged lion, he rushed up at the moment and shouted: "Livestock, let go of your dirty hands!" ”

One of the two men who hugged the girl turned his head around, and Zhong Yueyun's eyes widened and he stopped.

What a face that is! There was no hair on his face except for the hair on his head that was messy like dead grass, his skin was black and scarlet like a wound, his nose had been cut, leaving only two small holes, and only one eye remained, and the other eye was collapsed with traces of needles and threads. And the whole face is distorted, like an artist who pinched the wax man and accidentally slapped him hard before the wax man was completely solidified. It's like a demon crawling up from hell!

Forward or backward?

Zhong Yueyun did not run away, and her pride as the general's child did not allow her to escape. She can't control herself from being afraid, but she can control herself from running away. She is the daughter of a general, although she has not practiced hard since she was a child, she has also been exposed to some martial arts to strengthen her body. Although she has never had combat experience, she thinks that the two in front of her are so ragged and yellow-skinned, they are definitely not her opponents. She only paused for a moment, then quickly picked up a few well-sized stones beside her and threw them over, accompanied by two screams, and accurately hit the wrists of the two women who were restrained.

"Help, help!" The woman who was caught took this opportunity to frantically break free from the clamps of the two, and ran towards Zhong Yueyun with a frenzied face, she ran too fast, and fell heavily to the ground in a few steps. The two men immediately rushed up to catch her. Zhong Yueyun flew up and kicked one of them in the face, he fell to the ground fiercely, ate a mouthful of soil, and the other reached out and grabbed her by the back collar, trying to drag her to the ground, Zhong Yueyun took a few steps back, grabbed his hand with his backhand, and turned his head in a circle from under his hand, only to hear a click, and the man with a face like a demon screamed. After a few rounds, both men fell to the ground. Zhong Yueyun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she was not her opponent, and she had a false alarm. She clapped her hands and walked over to the woman cowering in a corner.

Zhong Yueyun hugged the woman and patted her back, and asked very gently, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

The woman's body was still shaking slightly, and she didn't answer her question, just sobbing blindly. Zhong Yueyun didn't ask anymore, just hugged her and stroked her back again and again. After a while, the woman finally raised her head, looked at Zhong Yueyun cautiously with her red rabbit-like eyes, and sobbed, "I... I... It's okay. Lot... Thank you, sister...... Sister! ”
