Chapter 146 The Arrogant Xu Ni
The common people of Qian Yuan were unarmed, while these barbarian soldiers were all elite troops, each one strong and robust.
Many civilians died as a result of their brutal killings.
With her family in crisis, the girl no longer cared about saving face.
She was dragged along by the horse for a while, her body covered in scratches. The only hairpin that could still be used to make a move fell off during the drag. Even though she tried her best, she couldn't get close to her master before the whip fell.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
The girl screamed herself hoarse, watching helplessly as the whip fell.
At this moment, the hatred in her heart reached its peak.
I hate the barbarians, I hate the imperial court, I hate this world.
The barbarian soldiers burst into laughter, seemingly enjoying the sight of the girl struggling shamelessly, revealing her fair skin.
I am also excited to see the old man, his face covered in blood, die under the whip.
However, they laughed too soon.
Just as the whip was about to strike the old man's head, a figure suddenly appeared, grabbed the whip, and pulled the whip-wielder off his horse.
The girl finally rushed to the old man, frantically calling out "Grandpa!"
The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with heartache. He hurriedly took off his clothes and wrapped the girl in them, tears streaming down his face, but he didn't know where to look.
His daughter is a young woman now, and he...he...
Tears blurred the old man's vision; he clutched his clothes, too afraid to embrace the girl.
Just then, a hand snatched the girl's clothes from his grasp, blocking his view, and quickly dressed her.
The old man was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw that the person in front of him was slender and obviously a young woman, his heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down.
"Are you okay?"
A soft, sweet voice rang in her ears, and the girl looked up in surprise, only to see a face that was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly.
"Are you... are you a fairy?"
She spoke in a daze, saying that it was she who had just saved her grandfather.
"Just think of me as a fairy!"
Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow, noticing that she was already dressed, before looking at the group of barbarian cavalry.
The girl followed her gaze and was immediately stunned.
Where were the barbarian cavalrymen? All that remained were a pile of crippled men with broken limbs, and around them, about twenty horses obediently swished their tails.
when……?
The girl was dumbfounded. She clearly remembered that she had only blinked a few times, so why had all the soldiers fallen down?
"Want to take revenge?"
The sweet, soft voice rang in her ears, and the girl nodded subconsciously.
"Then go ahead!"
A blood-stained hairpin fell into the girl's hand. She looked down at it, then looked up at Jiang Bai.
Seeing the encouragement in her eyes, I felt an overwhelming surge of courage.
She looked at the soldier who had torn her clothes and walked towards him step by step.
The soldiers, their hands and feet severed, looked at Jiang Bai with eyes full of fear, as if she were some kind of demon.
As the girl approached, her wolf-like eyes, which he had previously loved most, now terrified him the most.
There were wolves to their west, and he knew perfectly well how terrifying those eyes could be.
"Don't come over, don't come over."
He tried to retreat, but because his hands and feet were broken, he couldn't retreat an inch.
At that moment, he suddenly heard his companion scream.
It turned out that the other people who had been bullied by them saw that they had lost their ability to resist and took action.
They used their fists, sticks, or stones to smash them down.
Smash it wherever it hurts.
The scene was extremely bloody at one point.
When the girl got closer, she also started running. Memories flooded her mind, and she felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. She stabbed the man with the hairpin in her hand again and again.
"Ni'er, Ni'er."
The old man watched quietly, his eyes filled with satisfaction, repeatedly saying, "Well done, well done."
The scene reeked of blood, but Jiang Bai didn't even flinch.
Jiang Lu moved a little slower, and when she got closer, she saw this scene of carnage.
Even though she had killed many people under Jiang Bai's deliberate training, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing this scene.
"Sister, these barbarians deserve to die."
She glared at those people with hatred, but when her gaze fell on the common people, her face was filled with pity.
At the same time, she felt incredibly fortunate that she and Awen had their older sister by their side; otherwise, if the war had broken out, she would have suffered the same humiliation as that girl.
"Damn it."
Jiang Bai nodded in agreement.
These barbaric methods reminded her of a past event, about eighty years ago, when a large number of new ghosts came to the underworld.
Their deaths were gruesome, a result of a small country instigating a war that resulted in their brutal massacre.
She later spoke with them and learned that they were a group of resilient and great people.
He waited quietly for the local people to kill the barbarian soldiers, then vomited loudly while supporting his legs.
In contrast, the girl who had killed someone only looked somewhat pale.
After confirming that the person was dead, she turned to look at Jiang Bai.
"Xu Ni thanks you for saving her life, young lady."
The old man knelt down beside her as well.
"I accept your gift. Now take your grandfather and leave!"
This place is next to Chongyu Pass, and she and Jiang Lu only encountered a small group of barbarian soldiers. If there were too many people, she might not be able to handle it.
"Girl, wait."
Seeing Jiang Bai turn to leave, Xu Ni called out to her.
Jiang Bai turned to look at her and saw her take a small box out of the bundle the old man was carrying and hand it to Jiang Bai.
"I don't have anything valuable on me, only this box of seeds, which my father brought back from the sea. Please accept it, young lady."
Looking at the box in front of her, Jiang Bai took it and opened it. The contents inside surprised her.
Inside the box, a box containing a ginger-yellow item about the size of a baby's fist lay quietly.
There are about five or six in this box.
"Sister, what is this?"
Jiang Lu peeked out and realized she didn't recognize him.
Jiang Bai smiled slightly, feeling a bit happier.
Saving people was just a spontaneous act, but I never expected such a pleasant surprise.
"This thing is called a potato. Because it grows in the ground and looks like a bean, it can also be called a potato."
Potatoes are a great food; they can be boiled, stir-fried, stewed, fried, made into noodles, and most importantly, used as a staple food.
There are also various potato products.
"Your benefactor knows this?" Xu Ni was also stunned.
She had taken this out because she and her grandfather had nothing to give to their benefactor.
I never expected that my benefactor would know me.
"know."
"You said your father brought this back from the sea? Have you ever grown it?"
Xu Ni nodded and said, "My grandfather and I used to plant potatoes in the field. Even a small plot of land can yield a lot of potatoes."
"But after Chongyu Pass fell, all the potatoes in our field were taken away by those barbarians."
When the barbarians were mentioned, hatred reappeared on her face.
They were a bunch of bandits who wouldn't even spare the crops that hadn't yet grown in the fields.
