Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1165: Bloodthirsty Xiuluo_1

Bai Ruozhu thought of Furball and ordered it to rescue the people in the Yard, but Furball’s feedback to her was that it couldn’t leave her too far away, unless she had previously arranged for it to go to someone else, just like last time when she arranged for it to secretly stay with Jiang Yichun.

But now, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t move, and there was no one else around, so Furball couldn’t leave the Room by itself.

Despair filled Bai Ruozhu as tears kept sliding down her cheeks—blaming herself, thinking if she hadn’t come to this Village to inquire, if she hadn’t given Guoguo pastries, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.

Just as Bai Ruozhu felt so desperate she could scarcely breathe, the window at the back of the Room was suddenly opened, and Jianqi jumped in like a ghost.

Jianqi quickly unblocked Bai Ruozhu’s Acupuncture points; she grabbed him and said, ”Quick, go save them!”

”I...” Jianqi hesitated for a moment but still rushed out. Bai Ruozhu quickly realized what Jianqi meant—he wasn’t a match for those people.

She had been hard on Jianqi, but no matter, she was still there.

Since her Transmigration, she had always held back, partly for fear of revealing her true strength and partly for fear of using poison too ruthlessly against the harmony of heaven, but now to hell with it!

Bai Ruozhu followed Jianqi into the Yard, hurling her Poison as if it cost no money, and ordered Furball to attack the leader of the masked men, who was entangled in a fight with Jianqi. Unexpectedly struck by Furball, the man glared at Bai Ruozhu just before he fainted, saying, ”You, you’ve actually raised a Poisonous Insect...”

Jianqi, unaware of Furball’s existence, was also startled upon hearing this, but seeing the blood-red eyes of Bai Ruozhu, he hurriedly composed himself and attacked the other masked men.

Bai Ruozhu finally saw Guoguo and his father and Doctor Zhou in the Yard—Guoguo’s head covered with blood, lying on the ground like a broken doll, while Doctor Zhou had been stabbed through the chest and was already having difficulty breathing. Most horrifying was Guoguo’s father, decapitated, his head rolled to the side, his eyes wide open in terror and disbelief.

In the hearts of the Agricultural Family, they couldn’t understand how such things could happen under the broad daylight—how could people be killed just like that?

Bai Ruozhu wiped away her tears, also picked up a sword, and targeted those poisoned. With the coordination of Furball, she killed three men in succession. Blood dyed her robes red, making her appear like a bloodthirsty Xiuluo, cruel and insane.

Yes, at this moment her eyes were filled with towering hatred, and her heart with only the thought of kill, kill, kill. She had to wipe out these masked men; they couldn’t be let off lightly!

One was a naïve child from the Village, another an honest and upright Farmer, and lastly Doctor Zhou, who had kindly saved someone and brought him back. What right did those people have to kill these three innocent individuals? Just because their lives were as cheap as ants?

She didn’t believe in the worth of lives, only in the distinction between good and evil; she would never let these people leave alive!

Until the last person in the Yard took his final breath, Jianqi could hardly believe that he and Bai Ruozhu, whose Martial Arts were ordinary, could go to such lengths. It must have been divine assistance, but seeing Bai Ruozhu’s current state, perhaps it was more like possession by a Demon God.

”Master, it’s over, put down your sword,” Jianqi said as he saw Bai Ruozhu stabbing furiously at the already dead masked leader. Fearing she might hurt herself, he hurriedly tried to persuade her from the side.

It was only then that Bai Ruozhu finally came back to her senses; with a clang, her sword dropped to the ground and she rushed toward Guoguo.

Upon checking Guoguo’s pulse, some color finally returned to her face. She muttered to herself, ”There’s still hope, don’t be afraid, sister will definitely save you.”

This child seemed a year or two younger than Xiaosi, yet had suffered such a calamity for no reason. The thought made Bai Ruozhu feel both responsible and devastated, and the tears couldn’t help but fall.

She took out a silver needle and administered acupuncture, protecting Guoguo’s heart meridian and causing him to vomit a clot of blood. Guoguo woke up for a few seconds, and seeing Bai Ruozhu, he weakly said, ”It’s the Young Master, right? I knew you would come to save us...”

His voice got softer and softer until he fainted again before he could finish his sentence.

Bai Ruozhu broke down in tears once more; the child still hoped for her arrival, even now. He should blame her, shouldn’t he? If it weren’t for her presence, how could he have ended up like this?

At that moment, the moaning of Doctor Zhou reached Bai Ruozhu’s ears from not far away. Hurriedly stabilizing Guoguo’s condition, she said to Jianqi, ”You watch the child. Use your inner strength carefully to help him clear the congestion from his internal injuries.”

Jianqi quickly took the order to look after Guoguo, while Bai Ruozhu rushed to Doctor Zhou’s side. Sadly, she was unable to save Doctor Zhou.

It was fortunate that Doctor Zhou was a medical student; despite the severe pain, he had managed to press his own acupoints to stop the bleeding, which allowed him to hold on until now.

Bai Ruozhu inserted needles to stop his bleeding, but she knew that pulling out the sword would undoubtedly lead to Doctor Zhou’s death. Yet, if not removed, he wouldn’t last more than a few minutes.

”Doctor Zhou, I’m sorry, it’s my fault you all are suffering like this,” Bai Ruozhu said, now crying uncontrollably. She couldn’t remember the last time she had knelt down and admitted her faults to someone with such self-blame.

”Don’t blame... yourself,” Doctor Zhou struggled to speak, coughing up blood as he did. ”I shouldn’t have... brought that man... back home, and caused even more harm to... Guoguo and his father. You must... save Guoguo.” Doctor Zhou made an effort to say these words despite his condition.

Bai Ruozhu nodded through her tears, ”I swear I will save Guoguo, and I will make sure he is as healthy as he was before.”

Doctor Zhou smiled weakly, ”To die after... seeing the Divine Doctor save someone... brings me peace...”

While Bai Ruozhu was performing the acupuncture, he had been watching. It was precisely because he saw the ”Divine Doctor saving someone” that he hung on to his last breath, persisting until now.

After saying those words, he closed his eyes.

Bai Ruozhu covered her face and cried bitterly. What kind of Divine Doctor was she if she couldn’t bring back the dead?

But she quickly stood up again. She had to be strong now and not give in to despair. Guoguo was still waiting for her treatment, and Achun was still waiting for her to come to his rescue.

The commotion from their killing had made quite a stir, and soon enough, Lv brought people over. Seeing the mess left on the ground, he was quite shocked. He kept looking at Jianqi, assessing him. Could Jianqi have hidden his true strength?

However, he carefully counted the number of people who had died. They were fewer than the ones who had initially attacked them, suggesting that nearly half had left, but this was enough to supress the Shadow Guard.

The villagers had been alerted as well, and soon the news spread that a Yard full of people at Doctor Zhou’s household was dead. The village head brought a crowd of people over quickly.

”Young Master, you must hide your identity!” Lv reminded urgently.

Bai Ruozhu wanted to find a gauze cap but didn’t have one at hand. She could only carry the unconscious Guoguo back into the Room, saying, ”Find a reason for the County Magistrate to gloss over this matter, just say that these people wanted to steal Doctor Zhou’s family’s Medical Book Secret Scroll.”

”Yes, your command will be followed,” Lv replied more humbly than ever.
