Hearing Ji Yanning's question, the mother-in-law sighed.

"Don't tell the girl that the neighborhood of our village has not been peaceful lately, if the girl is in a hurry, she will leave early, if the thieves are targeted, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out. Several girls in our village were robbed by thieves. The mother-in-law's face was sad, "Even those who go to stop it, dead and wounded, there is no way to do it." ”

Ji Jiu asked, "Does the government care?"

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law's face became even more sad: "The county magistrate was injured by them, and then the prefect came to investigate the matter personally, but it didn't take long for the prefect to suffer, and his wife and children suddenly died." ”

Ji Jiu and Ziyu's eyes widened in surprise.

Ji Yanning frowned: "It's so rampant." ”

The mother-in-law said: "Now that the new prefect has not yet arrived, no one dares to take care of this matter." ”

Ziyu was puzzled: "Trafficking in women is a felony, how dare they do this?"

The mother-in-law shook her head: "We don't know." ”

While they were chatting, the old man had already returned, and his body was wet from the rain, so the mother-in-law came forward with a dry cloth to wipe him.

The old man said, "The rain will not stop for a while, but I am afraid that it will not go away until the evening, and if the girl does not dislike it, she will rest here with us, and go again tomorrow." ”

Ji Yanning bowed his head and thanked them.

Because of the affairs in the village, Ji Yanning's subordinates were extremely vigilant, after all, the safety of the eldest lady was the most important.

The old man cleaned up a room for Ji Yanning to rest, and closed the door again, for fear that someone would come over.

Ji Yanning learned from the old couple that those who kidnapped the girls had only begun to act in recent months, at first the girls in the nearby villages disappeared one after another, and then some villagers saw that they had taken away people, so they reported to the official, and the government naturally attached importance to it, but the government has not been able to find the woman's hiding place, so naturally they cannot be convicted.

Some witnesses saw that those people in Xishan were carrying women, and the county magistrate wanted to take them together, but they did not expect to be resisted and injured their legs, and the prefect personally investigated the matter, and soon after, he also suffered an accident.

And the old couple has a daughter, who was also kidnapped by those people not long ago, and there is no news so far.

As they spoke, the couple had tears in their eyes and swallowed.

Ziyu's face was heavy after hearing this: "These people really have no law, and I don't know what happened to those girls." ”

The mother-in-law said, "Who knows, after those girls were taken away, there was no news, and no one could find them." ”

Ji Jiu said: "When the rain stops, let's hurry up, I feel that those people are a little evil." ”

Ziyu nodded, agreeing with him.

Ji Yanning just listened quietly and didn't speak.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky gradually darkened, and suddenly a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and then there was a "boom" explosion, as if it was about to tear the sky apart.

By the end of the night, the rain had finally subsided.

The next morning, the sky was clear, and when Ji Yanning walked out of the door of the room, he only felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling, and he raised his hand and covered his eyes slightly with his sleeves.

"It was a good day. Ji Yanning said.

Ji Jiu came over from outside, and when he heard the eldest lady's words, he said, "This weather is just in a hurry, so let's get in the carriage." ”

"Did you give all the money you went to give to the villagers?" asked Ji Yanning.

Ji Jiu replied: "I gave it, but they didn't accept it, saying that we should stay in good intentions for a while, not for money." ”

"Well, since they don't want it, let's go. Ji Yanning didn't bother.

Bidding farewell to them, Ji Yanning and his party set out on the road again.

Because it had just rained, the team was moving very slowly, Ji Yanning did not continue to read today, but directly lifted the curtains on both sides and looked at the scenery along the road.

After walking for a long time, it was rare to see a female pedestrian on this road, and some passers-by saw Ji Yanning in the carriage, but they couldn't help but take a few more looks, some were amazed by her appearance, and some were sighing and worried.

Seeing this, Ziyu wanted to stop talking.

Ji Yanning himself felt that it was okay.

"Help! Help......"

The group was hurrying when a woman's cry for help came from not far away.

Ji Yanning frowned: "Ji Jiu, go and see what's going on." ”

Ji Jiu answered, and rushed towards the source of the sound with a few guards.

Not far away, on the path, several men were pulling a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, the girl was struggling to resist and calling for help, this is not in the village or behind the shop, and there are few pedestrians passing by, her call for help has not had much effect.

Next to her was a young man who desperately protected her but was beaten by those people and had a blue nose and swollen face.

"Please, let my sister go, I can make you cows and horses, please don't take my sister away!"

But no matter how much he pleaded, the men didn't seem to want to spare their brother and sister.

"Stop!"

Ji Jiu hurriedly came, and when he saw this scene, he shouted.

Those men didn't expect someone to dare to stop them, so they turned their heads and looked over, just in front of Ji Jiu's eyes.

The man who took the lead said disdainfully: "If you don't want to die, don't be nosy!"

Ji Jiu didn't expect that these people were even more rampant than the old couple said, they dared to arrest people in the daytime, there were seven or eight people on the other side, and he only brought five guards over, but as soon as he saw the girl's scared and trembling appearance, he couldn't bear it.

"Let them go!" Ji Jiu said.

"Yo, there are really people who are not afraid of death!" said one of the men, "I'm afraid it's too long!"

He kicked the girl's brother and tried to get him to let go quickly, but the brother was dragging his sister's hand and refusing to let go.

The man said impatiently: "It's really in the way! Don't you see that we still have to teach others, I don't have time to see you being tired and crooked!"

As he spoke, he drew the knife from his waist and slashed it down on the arm of the girl's brother.

Ji Jiu was stunned, he was about to step forward to stop it, but he heard a whistling sound piercing the air in his ears, and then saw a sharp arrow shot from the direction behind him stabbing straight towards the arrogant man.

Before the man could react, he had already fallen straight to the ground, his eyes wide and out of breath.

An arrow through the throat.

Everyone's eyes looked in the direction where the arrow flew over, and saw Ji Yanning, who was standing on the high slope and looking down against the light.

Ji Yanning didn't squint, and pulled out another arrow from the quiver behind him and put it on the string, aiming it at those men.

"If you don't want to die, let them go. Ji Yanning said coldly.

Some of them were furious: "Where did you come from, stinky, dare to spoil our good deeds, brothers......"

"Whoosh-"

Before he could finish his words, the arrow in Ji Yanning's hand had already left the string.

"Ugh. The man's unfinished words just clung to his throat, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he slowly fell.

Another arrow through the throat.

The eyes of everyone looking at Ji Yanning had changed, she looked at those people condescendingly, and put the arrow on the string again, her eyes were as cold as ice.

Obviously she is a young girl, slim and slim, but her behavior makes people shudder, even killing two people, Rao is evil They can't help but tremble, seeing that the arrow is facing them, they subconsciously want to dodge.

The girl who was being contested seemed to see hope, crying and shouting at Ji Yanning: "Please save me!"

"Go back to the boss!" said one of the men, pulling his leg and running towards the side path.

It's a pity that his speed is not as fast as the arrow in Ji Yanning's hand, and he was shot by a sharp arrow before he ran far and fell directly to the ground.

Three of the eight people died, and the other five stared at Ji Yanning deadly, they glanced at each other, saw the two brothers and sisters, and grabbed them to block themselves to prevent Ji Yanning from shooting arrows at them again.

This woman was a monster, and her archery skills were so amazing that they didn't dare to move anymore.

But if you can't catch the woman back today, I'm afraid that I will be beaten by the boss.

Ji Yanning watched their movements, handed the bow in his hand to Ying'er on the side, and said to the guards behind him, "Go ahead." ”

She brought a lot of guards with her on this trip, and it was more than enough to deal with these little minions.

When she saw Ji Yanning put down her bow and arrows, the hearts of those men were just relieved, and then they saw more than twenty guards emerging from behind her, and their faces suddenly darkened.

The five people ran out of the trail with their legs, and when Ji Jiu saw it, he chased after him with someone.

The rescued brother and sister hugged each other and cried bitterly because they were afraid.

Ji Yanning walked over and came to them: "Hurry up, otherwise you should be targeted again." ”

The brother and sister came back to their senses, knelt in front of Ji Yanning and kowtowed: "Thank you for saving your benefactor!"

Ji Yanning stretched out his hand to help the girl up, and seeing that her face was bloodless, he said, "I heard that this area is not peaceful, why are you still running around?"

My brother, who was beaten and bruised in the face, said: "It's because it's not peaceful here, so my father and mother asked me to send my sister to live at my aunt's house for a while, so as not to be captured by those thieves, but I didn't expect to be stopped by them." ”

"Are they all so blatant?" asked Ying'er, on the side.

The girl sighed: "Now the girls in several towns near us either go to other places to hide, or they don't even dare to go out of the house at home, if they really see it, I am afraid that no one will be able to escape." ”

As she spoke, she began to wipe away her tears, if she hadn't met Ji Yanning, she didn't know what would have happened.

Thinking of this, she was worried again: "The benefactor saved us, let's get out of here quickly, they have always been cruel, if they are discovered, I am afraid that the benefactor will be affected." ”
