Su Ying turned around warily and saw Jiang Yang walking out from behind a tree with a saber in his hand.
He was also shocked to see Su Ying. “Mistress, why are you here?”
Su Ying saw that there was no one behind him and frowned. “You’re alone?”
“Yes. We’ve been searching since yesterday. I came all the way here. I heard some strange commotion here, so I came over. Mistress, how come you came out from the Azure Dragon Base?”
“It’s a long story. Let’s leave this place first.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Su Ying found the route she took yesterday and walked to the farmhouse where Lian Qiao stayed. She found a hidden place and said to Jiang Yang, “You wait here. I’ll go and bring them out.”
Jiang Yang was very puzzled. Bring them out? Who were they?
However, Su Ying didn’t say anything and Jiang Yang didn’t ask her for details either. He simply watched the area vigilantly.
Before long, Jiang Yang heard Su Ying shouting for him. He got up and walked over, only to see Lin Zhuyu and the others lying motionlessly on a pile of grass. “Mistress, what… what exactly is going on?”
Su Ying replied, “When I was searching yesterday and found this place, I suspected that our people might have been taken away by the Azure Dragon Base people. I tracked them all the way to the Azure Dragon Base and saw them hanging Lin Sheng on the stone gate. I went in to save them immediately. After I got them out, I brought them here and hid them. Then, I lured those people away.”
Su Ying’s explanation seemed reasonable, but Jiang Yang felt that it was too risky for Su Ying to go and save people alone. “Why didn’t you tell us, Mistress?”
“At that point, I had already reached the Azure Dragon Base. I was afraid that I would miss the opportunity to save them if I went back to get you guys. But fortunately, they are all fine.” There was no means of communication here, and it would be a waste of time to run back and forth. If she missed the best opportunity, it would be too late to regret it afterwards.
“You’re right, Mistress.”
“The people back home must be waiting anxiously. Let’s bring them back first.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Su Ying took out a tub of ointment and rubbed some beneath the three people’s noses.
Before long, all three of them regained consciousness.
“Sheng ‘er, Sheng’ er!” When Zhang Cuiniang woke up, the first thing she did was to look for Lin Sheng. When she saw Lin Sheng lying next to her, she pulled the child into her arms at once. “Sheng ‘er, you have really scared me to death.”
“Mistress, Jiang Yang, you… you guys… We… we…” When Lin Zhuyu saw Su Ying and Jiang Yang, she was still in a daze.
“Don’t talk so much now. We can talk when we get back.”
The three of them nodded, and Jiang Yang carried Lin Sheng on his back. The few of them returned the way they came, and after walking for a while, they finally heard the shouts of Wang Su and the others.
“Wang Su, we’re here.”
Jiang Yang responded loudly, and very soon, Wang Su and the rest heard the commotion and ran over.
They were overjoyed to see that Lin Zhuyu and the others had been found. “It’s good that you’ve found them. It’s good that you’ve found them. Let’s go back first.”
They had only eaten some dry food since yesterday when they went to the mountain to search for the missing people. By now, they were absolutely famished.
“We’ve found them. We’ve found them.”
Wang Su shouted when he arrived outside the courtyard.
Bai Shuang got up excitedly and opened the gate.
“That’s great. You’ve finally found them!”
“Come in quickly. I’ll go cook now.” After Uncle Hea made sure that Lin Zhuyu and the others were fine, he ran to the kitchen excitedly.
“Brother Lin Sheng, Brother Lin Sheng, are you okay?” When the two little ones saw Lin Sheng return, they dashed over and grabbed his hand in a show of concern.
“I’m… I’m fine. Little Sister Ling, Little Brother Ji. You guys don’t have to worry. I’m fine.”
“Then Brother Lin Sheng can play with us again.”
Su Ying saw that Lin Sheng was indeed not too affected, so she turned around and went into the house. Before everyone noticed her, she quickly changed out of her totally blood-stained dress.
Su Ying was about to change into new clothes when she turned around and saw Xiao Jin staring at her with his dark eyes without any expression.
Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched momentarily. “There is a difference between men and women. Do you understand?”
“Where did you find them?” Xiao Jin didn’t answer her. His gaze was still intense as he directed his question at her.
Su Ying did not intend to hide it from him. “The Azure Dragon Base.”
“You went alone again?” Xiao Jin’s voice was low, but it carried a sense of barely suppressed self-control.
However, Su Ying didn’t sense anything amiss. “Yes, alone.”
“Su Ying, how many lives do you think you have that you can be so arrogant and presumptuous and assume that you can keep going out alone to save people time and time again? Do you really think that your body is made of iron?”
Su Ying put on her clothes and tied her belt before turning back to look at him. “Of course, I don’t have an iron body. When I arrived at the Azure Dragon Base, I saw Lin Sheng hanging on the stone gate. Do you still want me to turn back and look for help at this time? What if something happens to them during this interval?”
“Have you ever thought about yourself? You will also get hurt, you will also feel pain, and you are not an invincible God!” Xiao Jin clenched the fists that were placed on his knees tightly. He raised his head and looked at Su Ying with bloodshot eyes. His dark eyes were strenuously suppressing strong emotions.
Su Ying’s heart shuddered momentarily. She felt as if there was a strong force pushing against her chest. In the past, even if she was thrown into a group of zombies, no one would care if she was injured or if she couldn’t hold on. They would only take it for granted that it was best for those who were incapable to die.
Su Ying furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at him, but then she looked away again before saying, “I can protect myself. I’m doing this to intimidate them. With me around, they won’t dare to step into the Tiger Base again.”
The psychological impact of a group of people fighting against a group of people was completely different from a group of people fighting against a single person.
She wanted to let them know that she, Su Ying, was not someone they could mess with.
Perhaps her thinking was a little extreme, but this was the best way she could think of to protect them. Before these people had fully developed their abilities, if the Azure Dragon Base really attacked them in full force, what were the chances of the Tiger Base, which comprised a loose band of people, winning?
“Su Ying, I don’t want you to do this again.” Xiao Jin’s voice was very low, but Su Ying still heard him.
“Then you should get well quickly. Let me test your skills.”
Xiao Jin didn’t say anything. Su Ying felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange. She suddenly took off her dress, walked over to Xiao Jin, and sat down. She turned her head and looked straight at him.
“Xiao Jin.”
Xiao Jin raised his head and looked at her without saying anything.
Su Ying frowned. “Actually, I’m afraid of pain. It’s not nice to have a scar on my body. Hurry up and help me treat it.”
Xiao Jin wanted to refuse, but when he saw the wound on her arm, his brows twitched. He couldn’t resist blurting out, “Aren’t you very powerful? You still got injured!” Though he spoke harshly, he had already gone to the drawer at the side to take out the medicine.
After retrieving the medicine, he returned to her side and carefully pulled down her clothes. As he looked at the hideous wound, Xiao Jin’s eyes darkened even more.
“Gasp! Be gentler, will you? Why do you have to use so much strength! You’re taking the opportunity to take revenge, aren’t you?”
