Mrs. Li soothed her granddaughter with a tambourine, offering words of comfort to the children and grandchildren.Li Lao'er and the others felt a pang of sadness. They didn't want to worry their mother...A man dressed as a charcoal seller, with a large willow basket on his back, and even black charcoal dust on his half-worn clothes.

The other was a woodcutter with an axe strapped to his waist.

Both of them looked quite ordinary. If they were walking down the street, no one would guess that they were involved in a business as dangerous and risky as this.

Two people arrived beside the woman and quickly scanned the unconscious crowd.

The coal seller couldn't help but whisper in admiration, "Well done, Mother Scorpion! You did it so easily, taking down all those fools!"

The firewood seller seemed more cautious. He took down the axe from his waist and held it in his hand, "Quickly put the girl the master wants into the basket and take her away. Be careful not to waste time, or something will go wrong!"

The woman pointed at the door and said, "He's inside, you go get him! I'll deal with that little punk who's covering for him!"

Having said that, she took a dagger from her burden and was about to go through the courtyard to kill the little girl.

The little girl was pinned down by Jiaren and Maoge, her whole body almost covered. She couldn't move at all and could only cry desperately, unable to say a word.

The charcoal seller and the firewood seller naturally wouldn't intercede for the little girl, so they turned and walked toward the door.

Just as the two hands were about to touch the door, the woman suddenly let out a scream.

Before they could turn around, the sound of wind reached their ears. The two were terrified and quickly ducked aside.

The seller of firewood showed his agility, dodging behind a pillar with a single roll.

But the charcoal seller wasn't so lucky. He was shot in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt, and blood immediately flowed out.

He groaned in pain, ignoring it completely, and ran straight towards the courtyard wall.

Unbeknownst to him, the several guards who had fallen by the roadside had already sprung up, drawing their waist knives and charging at him.

The charcoal seller pulled at his waist, and what appeared to be an ordinary gray-blue belt turned out to be a flexible whip.

He was also quite skilled in martial arts. His soft whip moved like a whirlwind, making it impossible for several guards to get close.

Even, while enduring a stab wound on his back, he pulled out an opening and leaped onto the wall…

Seeing the charcoal seller about to flee the yard, several guards went frantic. Just as they were about to rush forward and chase him, the charcoal seller let out a cry of pain and fell from the wall again.

His right shoulder and both calves each had three daggers inserted, piercing deep into the flesh.

The guards were startled and couldn't immediately figure out who had come to the rescue. However, this didn't stop them from quickly rushing forward, removing the charcoal seller's jaw, and searching him for any weapons he might have been carrying.

On the other side, the charcoal seller had been cornered by Zheng Sanjiang and Zheng Liu.

The three brothers, holding their crossbows with arms pressed to their sides, waited for an opportunity to come to each other's aid.

The firewood seller was popular, his axe desperately parrying blows, he finally spared a glance at the woman companion fighting beside him.

As a result, the woman was bound tightly with ropes, her hands and feet were removed, and her jaw was also immobilized. She lay on the ground, her life or death unknown.

The little girl who had almost been silenced, hid behind a guard, watching him from afar with eyes full of hatred!

The seller's words sent shivers down her spine.

The woman who actually sold glutinous rice balls, that is, the little girl's mother, was the one he used as an excuse to buy glutinous rice balls. He lured her into a dark place and then had her throat cut by the she-demon's dagger...

Could he also end up like this

Is this it for today!

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. Suddenly, he took out a bottle from his bosom and threw it at everyone.

Everyone became aware and quickly retreated.

Taking advantage of the opening, the firewood seller swung a punch, smashing the windowpane beside him and lunged inside.

At the critical moment, a dagger and a pouch of powder were flung out the window!

The peddler of firewood was caught off guard, inhaling a large mouthful of powdered medicine, and his shoulder was stabbed by a dagger.

So he half-lay on the windowsill, unable to get in or out!

Zheng Sanjiang's eyes were quick, and he snatched the firewood seller with lightning speed. In three or two moves, he dislocated his jaw and pulled out his poisonous fangs...

Thus far, all three enemies have been successfully captured alive.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the window. Baozhu was staring blankly with her hands still covered in some leftover medicine powder!

Jia Xu angrily opened his mouth and scolded, "Didn't I tell you to stay out of it What are you making a fuss about"

"What if you get hurt"

Baozhu's mouth moved a few times, and Dajie's tangled brain circuit finally caught up. She retorted unconvincingly, "I was hiding! But the bad guy came in, I couldn't just stand there and do nothing!"

Jia Xu was about to speak, but Jia Yin had already pulled Baozhu into her embrace.

A while ago, she and Baozhu heard the fighting outside. They were very concerned, so they went to the window, wanting to break through the paper and sneak a peek.

Ye Shan couldn't hold back and stood aside.

To their surprise, as soon as they got to the window, it was smashed.

Ye Shan drew his dagger, as expected.

But Baozhu also dared to sprinkle medicine powder, which was something Jia Yin never expected.

She quickly shoved a dose of antidote into Baozhu's mouth, afraid that the residual medicine powder in the air would make Baozhu's medication ineffective.

Even after the antidote was administered, Jia Yin couldn't help but complain: "You really are too bold. You begged me for the powder back then, and you actually used it here!"

Baozhu was also a little scared, she tightly hugged Jiayin, her round body shaking constantly.

After a long silence, she choked out, "Elder Sister Jia Yin, I will never run out again.

I didn't expect to run into you today, at the door... I shouldn't have called you, I didn't know it would be like this.

"It's so good to see you again after so long. "

"My heart aches, I want to protect you, I just think about keeping the bad guys out..."

Baozhu's words were a bit incoherent, but Jiayin understood them perfectly.

This greedy little glutton is just naive, she's not stupid.

I've already guessed that it was probably because I accidentally revealed her true identity, that I brought this disaster upon myself.

She had just flung the powder, and everyone thought it was a coincidence.

Only she knew, she had been holding the powder in her hand all along, shielding Jia Yin from it. She wanted to help catch the perpetrator and make amends for the mistake!

"Silly girl!" Jia Yin rubbed Baozhu's hair, "I pretended to be a maidservant and came to the shop without telling you beforehand. When you suddenly encountered me, of course you would greet me."

It wasn't you who did this on purpose, so why would I blame you Don't worry about it.

Besides, you helped catch the bad guy just now. That's enough to offset your crime!

"Really" Baozhu wiped her tears, her eyes shining again. "Sister Jiayin, will you still bring me fruit and snacks in the future"

Jia Yin heard this and couldn't help but laugh and cry. She quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, you can have as much as you want!"

"Haha, Sister JiaYin is the best!" Baozhu immediately changed her face, hugged JiaYin's neck and jumped and shouted.

Jia Yin was pressed down, her waist bending. Outside the window, everyone else also let out a breath of relief and smiled.

At this moment, a half-grown boy suddenly jumped onto the courtyard wall. He had dark skin and his eyes rolled around as he stretched his neck to peer into the courtyard.

Everyone was taken aback and quickly grabbed their weapons, rushing towards the commotion.

But the black boy waved his hand forcefully and shouted: "Don't misunderstand, I'm not a bad guy. The one who ran away just now was stopped by us."

Zheng Liu heard this and immediately dashed out from under the eaves. After a moment of searching, he exclaimed in surprise, “Little Third Brother!”unting how many sets of meals were required.They had been learning arithmetic from Li Lao Er intermittently for over a year, and now it was finally coming in handy.The lightning-fast ordering, quoting...
