Chapter 42 Lin Xiao'e

Pan Yingying was about to chase after him, but Zhao had already rushed over and grabbed her.

"Didn't you hear the county magistrate say not to chase after a desperate enemy? What else do you want to do?"

God knows how scared Zhao was when she saw Pan Yingying killing people among the bandits. She knew her daughter's level best. She could barely be considered a "master", but a master could be defeated by a random punch. She was holding her breath all the time.

She had specially asked Cheng Hai to teach her daughter kung fu. He was the best martial artist in the palace at that time.

After escaping from the palace, that guy returned to his hometown and set up an escort company. She happened to meet him while he was escorting an escort. Wanting to find a martial arts master for her daughter, she tricked him into going to Panjiaao, where he taught her daughter privately for nearly ten years.

I don’t know what happened to that guy. I haven’t heard from him for a long time. He didn’t even come to my daughter’s wedding. Could he have been discovered and silenced by those jackals?

Without thinking or knowing, Zhao suddenly remembered that she decided to send him a letter when the time comes, asking him if he is willing to open an escort agency in Yaocheng.

Pan Yingying twisted Zhao's hand away and said, "Oh, mother, I will be back soon and will never cause any trouble!"

Zhao stretched out her hand to hit her. This girl is courting death! She is chasing after someone who has already run away!

At this time, Yu Chaosheng was on the same front with Pan Yingying. There was no other way; when it came to money, they had to stand together.

He grabbed Pan Yingying's hand and ran with her, "Don't worry, mother! I will definitely protect Yingying! I will make sure she is brought back safe and sound!"

Zhao took off her cloth shoes and threw them over, "I really owe you guys!"

The cloth shoes fell in front of Pan Lian, and he picked them up and said, "Grandma, these shoes are still so good, why don't you want them?"

Zhao glared at him and said, "Give it back to me!"

Pan Lian said "Oh" and obediently put his shoes in front of Zhao, and continued to "touch the corpse". His mother had promised him that as long as he saved enough money, he could go to his uncle and ask him to get him a big knife.

He had been coveting his father's sword for a long time, but his father treasured it so much that he wouldn't even let him touch it, let alone take it out to play with.

When the time comes, he will buy one for himself and won’t tell anyone how greedy he is.

Liang Ye looked at the young and old people who were "touching corpses" enthusiastically, and couldn't help but squeeze out a "Huh?" from his throat.

Upon seeing this, Feng Er ran over like the wind to join the "corpse-touching" camp, and even asked the nearby old man Wang for the tricks of "touching" corpses.

"When cleaning up the battlefield, you have to be quick, ruthless and accurate, otherwise you won't even get a mouthful of soup... Hey! You kid! I saw that first!" Before Old Man Wang finished his sentence, he jumped up, rushed to a slightly richer corpse, and squeezed aside Pan Lian, whose eyes were shining.

Pan Lian didn't want to compete with his current martial arts master, so he turned around and went to the other corpse in disappointment.

The chaos downstairs left Xu Yingda dumbfounded. After he came to his senses, he could only hold his forehead and smile bitterly.

But he still thanked these people from the bottom of his heart, because it was these people who saved the people in the city.

He noticed that those young people were very good at treating the wounded, even some doctors who had been practicing medicine for many years were not as good as them. He didn't know which hidden family had come out of retirement because of the chaos.

Everyone was unaware of Xu Yingda's imagination and were busy collecting money.

Seeing this, some uninjured convicts also sneaked out to "touch the corpses". After all, they still had to survive in Yaocheng, so they saved as much as they could.

On the other side, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng followed far behind the remaining bandits. They smeared their faces with dirt on the road and changed into rags thrown in the space.

After walking west for about five miles, the group of bandits returned to the mountain stronghold where they lived.

The village was not big, and the sanitary conditions were poor, with the houses all made of straw. On the flat ground in the middle of the village, dozens of old, weak, women and children were tied up, and there were several large pots set up next to them. A man with pockmarks on his face was throwing fresh body parts into the pots to stew.

This situation made the two men frown.

"It seems that we were right. They really are eating people." Pan Yingying suppressed her nausea and looked at the bandits as if she were looking at a group of dead people.

She must kill these people.

Yu Chaosheng nodded and said, "I'll kill them all in a moment."

The two of them walked around and arrived at the back of the village, where Yu Chaosheng discovered that there was actually a wooden house behind it.

This wooden house was out of place with the thatched hut in front, and he suspected that it was where the bandit leader lived.

He gestured to Pan Yingying, asking her to stay where she was and wait, and he went to the wooden house to investigate.

Not long after, he turned around and lowered his voice, "There's a woman locked up inside. She must have been kidnapped. What should we do with her?"

Pan Yingying thought about it and said, "Let's see what happens."

The two men sneaked into the wooden house, and found that there was indeed a young woman with her hands and feet tied up, just as Yu Chaosheng said.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing silk and had a jade hairpin on her head. She must be a daughter of a wealthy family who had been kidnapped here somehow.

The woman shrank back when she saw them, but she knew the situation well and didn't scream.

"Who are you? How did you fall into the hands of the bandits?" Pan Yingying squatted in front of the woman and did not untie her rashly.

Yu Chaosheng was knocking around in the wooden house, looking for money that might be hidden inside.

When the woman heard Pan Yingying's voice and realized that she was also a woman, she whispered, "I am Lin Xiao'e, the daughter of the magistrate of Qiongyang County. Bandits invaded Qiongyang County and burned, killed, and looted. My father and mother were killed by them, and I was also captured."

Pan Yingying looked at the map and remembered that Qiongyang County was next to Zhanglin County.

"Then do you know how many people there are in this village?" she asked.

Lin Xiao'e shook her head. "I don't know. I only know that there were two gangs of bandits that invaded Qiongyang County, and they were in a cooperative relationship."

After saying that, she looked up at Pan Yingying and said, "Lady, please save me. If you save me, I will tell you where this gang of bandits hid the silver. I know where it is."

Most of the money they robbed was her own money, and she would rather give it to the heroine in exchange for her saving her than give it to these enemies.

Pan Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly, not expecting such an unexpected surprise.

Seeing that she was interested, Lin Xiao'e immediately said, "My father is not a good official. He has embezzled a lot of money. If you are willing to save me from the sea of ​​suffering, I will give you all the money my father has hidden."

This sum of money was told to her by her mother before she died, and was buried in the basement of her father's study at home. The original intention was to leave her a way out. However, she was unlucky and fell into the hands of the bandit leader, who was delusional and wanted to make her his concubine.

Pan Yingying's eyes lit up, and she cut the ropes that bound Lin Xiao'e's hands and feet with a dagger, "Ms. Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you."

It doesn't matter whether there is money or not, she is mainly happy to save the girl from suffering.
