Chapter 269: Help
The sun was hot in the sky, but hiding under the shade of a big tree, the feeling of warmth was just right.
Accompanied by the murmuring sound of the river flowing in his ears, as well as the cheerful sound of insects and birds, Liu Qingyan, who was tired, couldn't help but pretend to sleep. Her eyes were closed, but her ears were sharpened. The breeze in the woods blew gently, and it seemed to bring some strange noises. In addition to the sound of flowers and trees swaying in the wind, there are also insects and birds, and Liu Qingyan seems to have faintly heard the cry of a woman. It was almost impossible to determine whether it was actually a woman's cry or an illusion created by something blowing through the wind. However, Liu Qingyan's keen intuition told her that things didn't seem to be so simple.
Her head twisted to the side, listening in the direction of a faintly recognizable voice. And the woman's scream became louder and louder, although it was still very weak, but Liu Qingyan was already sure that it was not the sound of the wind or the cry of an animal, but indeed the scream of a woman. And Liu Qingyan can almost be sure that what the woman is calling is clearly the word "help"!
In this kind of barren mountain and wilderness, there will be a woman calling for help. If it weren't for the goblins in the legends of gods and ghosts who changed to lure people into the bait in order to suck people's blood, then there was indeed a woman in distress. The woman's cries for help were heard more and more clearly filled with fear and fright, and in addition to that, there were more laughter that clearly belonged to several men, which were full of lewdness and lewdness.
I guess the situation must be urgent, and I can probably guess what happened.
Liu Qingyan stood up and walked to his horse, thinking about whether he was going to rescue the woman, or going his own way and not caring about other people's affairs and wasting his own time. In just an instant, Liu Qingyan turned over and rode on his horse, driving the horse to gallop in the direction where the woman's voice for help came from.
The trees were hidden in it, and sure enough, Liu Qingyan saw the figures of several people. All of them are dressed as bandits, although she has only heard of it and has not seen it with her own eyes, but she must not be wrong. Occasionally, when I stayed in the inn for a night's rest, I also heard that there were indeed bandits in the mountains and forests in this area. The closer you get to the border, the more hungry you are. In addition, now is the time for war, and the form is even more chaotic. The bandits who didn't dare to act easily before dared to run down the mountain and do bad things in this woods again!
In the middle of several bandits, a woman is besieging her. The woman shouted "help" while waving a stick. But if you look at it any more, you will see that it is a stick, a branch that has fallen from a tree, and on it hangs a few wretched and withered leaves.
Wielding such a branch, several men who are not skilled and have little to do with being strong and strong, say nothing to say that they will not be frightened by such a mentally handicapped woman and the slender and long branch in her hand, so that they dare not take a step closer. Even at the lewd smiles and lewd laughter on their faces, I knew that they were just teasing the woman. When they got impatient, they immediately pounced on the poor woman like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep.
Looking at this woman again, although she was in a mess, her head and body were all dirty, mixed with a lot of black-brown dirt and green branches and leaves on the grass, but she could also see that she was indeed a woman with a very good appearance and figure. It's no wonder that these men are in the mood to tease her.
Good luck, you met me today. Liu Qingyan thought in her heart, if it was usual, she might have the mood to "return the favor with the other way", and also come to tease these men. But that's a waste of time, so it's better to be more crisp and refreshing.
Liu Qingyan thought about it, and saw that those men heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from here, and they all looked towards this side. She calmly jumped off her horse, fearing that the horse would run away in fright, and she had time to tie the horse up for a while, and then she ran in the direction of the men.
A man looked at Liu Qingyan, who also looked weak and weak, so he sneered and said, "Boy, if you also want to come and get a piece of the pie, maybe I will leave a little for you if you are in a good mood." If you want to learn what heroes save beauty, don't blame the master for breaking your legs! ”
The woman stopped waving the branch in her hand as pitiful as she did, and thought that someone had come to save her, as described in the novels and plays, but when she saw that it was such a thin, weak, dirty man, she was immediately disappointed. This is completely inconsistent with the image that the hero should have when he appears in stories and dramas. Hearing the man say this, she also wondered even more, is this person here to help her or to bully herself?
If it is the latter, then there are already so many people, and there are not many more than him. Even if it's the former, it's just such a person coming, it seems that coming is the same as not coming, but there is one more victim!
I thought so in my heart, but I was already dying, no matter who came, this woman finally held on to the last bit of hope, and shouted loudly: "Help, they are bandits, they have killed people!" Help ......"
Hearing this, several of the thieves laughed even harder, almost bursting into tears, and one of them simply laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! Do you really think that there is any hero who can't save beauty! Just look like this kid, I'll let you know what a bear is! Let's clean up this guy who doesn't know how to lift first, and then let's bully you well! ”
This thief should be the one who took the lead, as soon as he finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, several thieves rushed towards Liu Qingyan, and the remaining few thieves still stood next to the woman, smelling the faint fragrance mixed with the smell of sweat emanating from her body, looking at her disappointed and panicked face, I only felt that it was extremely fun.
Liu Qingyan sneered, shook the horsewhip he had been holding in his hand, and immediately hit the face of a man who ran at the front, directly leaving a red whip mark across his face, to see how he could make such a lewd and lewd smile.
This person was obviously stunned for a moment, and he never thought that this thin man who seemed to be like a beggar suddenly appeared so quickly, ruthlessly and accurately. When he reacted, he held his face in his hands and wailed, tripped over the roots of the tree under his feet, fell to the ground, and wailed in pain. But soon someone was with him.
This man was the first, and those who were only a little slower than him were also whipped one by one. It's just that some are also hit in the face, some are on the stomach, and some are on the hands. No one could bear the whip, and they all fell to the ground, holding their wounds, and wailing in pain. If there is anyone who is unwilling to dare to move again, Liu Qingyan doesn't mind, and immediately refuses to whip again, until this person can no longer act rashly.
For a moment, there was no more fright, fear and screaming of women, not even the birds and beasts were so frightened that they hid, and the great woods were filled with the wails of these people.
Liu Qingyan didn't look at the thieves lying on the ground, and shook the horsewhip in her hand, which had been stained with a lot of blood, and the blood on the whip splashed on the bodies of the remaining bandits who were still standing a few feet away from her.
The bandits could no longer care about their prey, and they all picked up the big knives that they had thrown aside not long ago, but no one dared to rush to the front and use the seemingly tough big knives in their hands against the seemingly soft horse whip in Liu Qingyan's hands.
