Chapter 70: Bandits Ambush and Execute
Just when Guo Xiaohai was worried about not having any hostages, Wu Qingshuang appeared.
When Guo Xiaohai clearly heard Wu Qingshuang calling Wu Batian's father, he immediately realized that if he wanted to retreat, he must first capture Wu Qingshuang as a hostage.
The other bandits also had the same idea as Guo Xiaohai. When they heard Guo Xiaohai's shouts, they all rushed towards Wu Qingshuang.
When Wu Qingshuang saw a dozen bandits rushing towards her fiercely, she was immediately frightened and stood there motionless, forgetting to escape.
Guo Xiaohai was indeed a tough gangster who made a living by robbing homes and buildings. When he ran out of the bunker, he did not forget to shoot a crossbow arrow at Xi Xingchen.
At this time, Xi Xingchen happened to run to the center of the backyard and saw a crossbow arrow coming. He had to freeze. After he dodged the crossbow arrow, Guo Xiaohai's knife was already placed on Wu Qingshuang's snow-white neck.
"Don't move! Otherwise I'll kill her." Guo Xiaohai shouted at Xi Xingchen fiercely.
"You'd better let her go! Otherwise you will all die!" Xi Xingchen pointed his gun at Guo Xiaohai and said coldly.
Having said that, Xi Xingchen was afraid that Guo Xiaohai would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he stopped and did not move forward.
"Give me the blunderbuss!" Guo Xiaohai saw that Xi Xingchen did not dare to move, but he knew that he had made the right bet, so he said again.
"Firegun?" Xi Xingchen was a little confused.
"That's the one you have." Guo Xiaohai babbled at the shell gun in Xi Xingchen's hand.
Only then did Xi Xingchen realize that Guo Xiaohai was talking about the shell gun in his hand.
"Give it to me quickly, or I'll kill her!" Seeing Xi Xingchen's hesitation, Guo Xiaohai immediately tightened the knife. The blade immediately cut Wu Qingshuang's skin, and a wisp of blood immediately flowed down Wu Qingshuang's neck.
"Don't move, I'll put it down." Xi Xingchen pointed the muzzle of the gun into the sky, raised his hands, and slowly placed the shell gun on the ground.
"Leave me alone, kill these beasts!" At this time, Wu Qingshuang had come to her senses. When she saw Xi Xingchen put down the gun in his hand, she felt regretful and shouted anxiously.
"Kick it over here!" Guo Xiaohai said.
"Okay!" Xi Xingchen complied and kicked the shell gun away.
Guo Xiaohai handed Wu Qingshuang to Huang Sanmao beside him, picked up the shell gun from the ground, pointed it at Xi Xingchen and laughed loudly: "Boy, go to hell."
Guo Xiaohai pulled the trigger, but the gun didn't go off.
"What's going on?" Guo Xiaotian's expression changed, and he pulled the trigger a few more times, but the gun still didn't fire.
"He's numb, is he out of bullets?" Guo Xiaohai instinctively lowered his head to look at the gun.
The moment Guo Xiaohai lowered his head, a cold light flashed, and a dagger pierced Guo Xiaohai's neck from the side.
It turned out that Wu Qingshuang saw Guo Xiaohai shoot at Xi Xingchen. She didn't know where she got the strength and stepped hard on Huang Sanmao's instep. Huang Sanmao was in pain. Wu Qingshuang's arm that was controlling Wu Qingshuang was slightly loosened, and Wu Qingshuang broke away from Huang Sanmao. With Sanmao's control, he pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed Guo Xiaohai's neck smoothly.
Guo Xiaohai was killing people just now, but he was killed by Wu Qingshuang in the blink of an eye. The bandits couldn't believe their eyes and were stunned for a moment.
This was Wu Qingshuang's first time to kill someone. She didn't expect to kill Guo Xiaohai so easily. Looking at the dagger left on Guo Xiaohai's neck, her brain suddenly short-circuited, and a voice circulated endlessly in her mind: "I'll kill him, I'll kill him." Got him..."
Only Xi Xingchen stared at Guo Xiaohai with all his attention. When Guo Xiaohai pulled the trigger, he started to act.
It turned out that when Xi Xingchen saw Guo Xiaohai calling the shell gun a firecracker, he knew that Guo Xiao did not know the shell gun, so when he handed over the shell gun, he turned off the safety of the shell gun.
As expected, Guo Xiaohai hated Xi Xingchen so much that after getting the shell gun, he directly pulled the trigger, and the gun naturally did not go off.
What was originally a sure thing did not come true as expected, and normal people would be slow to react for a second. What Xi Xingchen was waiting for was the moment when Guo Xiaohai was distracted when he saw that the gun didn't go off.
According to Xi Xingchen's original idea, he would take advantage of Guo Xiaohai's momentary trance to launch a sudden attack, knocking off the pistol in Guo Xiaohai's hand, and then capture Guo Xiaohai, forcing Guo Xiaohai's cronies to let Wu Qingshuang go.
However, Xi Xingchen was planning everything, but he never thought that Wu Qingshuang would suddenly attack and successfully inserted the dagger into Guo Xiaohai's neck.
"Click... Crack--"
A wisp of blood flowed out from Guo Xiaohai's mouth, and a gurgling sound came from his mouth.
Guo Xiaohai wanted to turn around and see who had attacked him, but that was just his last thought in this world.
It was too late, but it was too soon. Xi Xingchen snatched the gun from Guo Xiaohai at lightning speed. However, Guo Xiaohai had no use value at this time. Therefore, after Xi Xingchen took the gun back, his second action was to grab it and stunned him. Wu Qingshuang quickly ducked behind the pillar in the corridor.
Only then did the bandits wake up from their shock. When Huang Sanmao saw Guo Xiaohai lying on the ground twitching, it was obvious that he would not survive. He became so angry that he raised his crossbow and shot at Xi Xingchen.
Xi Xingchen saw it clearly and raised his hand to shoot.
"boom!"
Huang Sanmao felt a heat in his right leg, and then a heartbreaking pain came from his right foot. His foot went soft and he turned over and fell to the ground.
When the two bandits around Huang Sanmao saw Guo Xiaohai fall to the ground, they quickly came up to help him. Two more gunshots were fired, and then the two bandits, like Huang Sanmao, rolled on the ground holding their calves, howling like killing pigs. .
When the other bandits saw the miserable state of the three men, they suddenly dispersed.
At this time, scattered footsteps came from the yard outside, and there were at least a hundred or ten people in the sound.
Soon, a group of people were seen rushing into the backyard. Xi Xingchen's heart suddenly settled when he saw the person leading the team.
The visitor was none other than Duan Zhenghua.
It turned out that Duan Zhenghua was worried about Xi Xingchen's safety. After planning with Wu Liang, he and Jin Bo ordered a hundred government officials to go first, while Wu Liang and Guan Peng led the brigade to follow.
After Duan Zhenghua and Jin Bo left the school grounds, they ran all the way without any delay.
As soon as they entered Wu's house, they heard three gunshots and then saw a dozen bandits running out of the backyard.
Yu Duan Zhenghua ordered Jin Bo to chase the bandits, while Wu Liang, with more than 20 people, rushed desperately to the backyard where the gunfire came from, and the previous scene occurred.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" As soon as Duan Zhenghua saw Xi Xingchen, he immediately ran over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Xi Xingchen replied.
"Are you really okay?" Duan Zhenghua pointed at Wu Qingshuang in Xi Xingchen's arms.
After Duan Zhenghua reminded her, Xi Xingchen realized that she was still holding Wu Qingshuang's soft waist, and their bodies were still close to each other.
Xi Xingchen quickly let go of his hand and apologized: "Miss Wu, I didn't mean to do it. It happened suddenly. I...I just..."
I don't know what happened, but Xi Xingchen suddenly stuttered. In a panic, while he was talking, he made hugging gestures with his hands over and over again, which made Duan Zhenghua's eyes widen.
"Brother Chen, do you want to hug me again?"
Regarding Xi Xingchen's explanation and Duan Zhenghua's teasing, Wu Qingshuang was ashamed and embarrassed, her pretty face turned red, and even the tips of her ears were bleeding.
Wu Qingshuang actually woke up when Xi Xingchen held her in his arms, but after being held in Xi Xingchen's arms, she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before, and this feeling made her very obsessed with it.
Moreover, Xi Xingchen exuded a strange smell like baby milk, which smelled very good. After the smell got into his nose, Wu Qingshuang felt dizzy and even his legs felt a little weak.
In short, Wu Qingshuang just didn't want to leave Xi Xingchen's arms and hoped to stay in Xi Xingchen's arms for a little longer.
Until Duan Zhenghua's arrival, Wu Qingshuang felt like she was being caught as a thief.
Due to her martial arts training since childhood, Wu Qingshuang is actually a very free and generous girl. She usually does not stick to small details, and is even a little careless, like a tomboy.
But at this moment, her mouth seemed to have been sewn shut with needles, and she couldn't say a word.
However, this girl was also stubborn. Although she buried her head in her chest in shame, she stubbornly stood beside Xi Xingchen and did not run away.
It wasn't until Jin Bo escorted a dozen bandits with bruises and swollen faces into the backyard that Xi Xingchen and Wu Qingshuang were relieved of their embarrassment.
Jin Bo reported to Xi Xingchenhui, who was full of excitement: "Brother Chen, all the escaped bandits have been caught, and none of them have escaped."
"Very good, leave them to the county magistrate." Xi Xingchen said.
At this time, Wu Batian also learned about what happened on the school grounds from Wu Liang. He led the two brothers Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Zhiming to Xi Xingchen, Duan Zhenghua and Jin Bo. He knelt on his knees and said in the tunnel like pushing a mountain of gold over a jade pillar: "Three As a benefactor, the Wu family suffered such a catastrophic disaster. Fortunately, they received three helping hands. Their life-saving grace will be unforgettable. Please pay your respects to Mr. Wu and his family!"
When Wu Qingshuang saw her father and brother kneeling down, she also knelt down quickly.
When Xi Xingchen saw such a scene, he was immediately startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Batian: "Mr. Wu, please get up quickly. I am a soldier of the magistrate Wu. I do these things as part of my duty. How can I bear such great gifts from you?"
Wu Batian shook his head and refused to get up: "My benefactor's words are wrong. Without the help of three benefactors, the entire Wu family would probably not be able to escape the murderous hands of the Huangfeng Village thieves today! Such a great kindness,"
Wu Batian is worthy of being a strong man who once struggled to make a living on the Tongtian River. Although many people in his family died and he was anxious to deal with the funeral affairs of the victims, his etiquette was still in place and he would not feel bad at all. Xi Xingchen and others human heart.
Xi Xingchen had no choice but to accept the worship of Wu Batian and his son, and then he helped Wu Batian and his son up one by one, and said: "Mr. Wu, please have my condolences! If our brothers are of any use, just ask, we brothers We must try our best.”
"My dear benefactor, Wu's family suddenly suffered such a disaster. I am very upset at this time. I will thank you again after I have settled down for a while!" Wu Batian apologized to Xi Xingchen again.
"Mr. Wu, it's important to appease your family. Please do it yourself! Don't worry about us." Xi Xingchen said.
