PDLP Chapter 214 Ma Ye
Chapter 214 Ma Ye
Lan Qingwu and Ruping stayed in the Hermit Forest for two or three days and thoroughly understood the details and patterns of the hundreds of rebels in the Hermit Forest.
Perhaps Lin Shaojie felt that the mountain was incredibly safe and that no one could attack it, so patrols and discipline were lax. No one was doing martial arts drills during the day, and no one was on night patrol at night, seemingly living a life of drunkenness and debauchery.
At night, Lan Qingwu couldn't sleep. She sat up and covered her ears with her hands. Her chest was full and she could only hear the woman crying and screaming in pain outside going straight into her ears.
It was the sound of the devil's revelry, but it was hell for the helpless and innocent women and children.
Lan Qingwu was filled with indignation. She whispered, "Zhi'er, I can't wait any longer!"
Ru Ping looked up at Lan Qingwu and said firmly, "Okay!"
During the day, Ruping was busy running around the dark-faced woman Sui Niang. Sui Niang looked at Ruping several times and finally said, "Take a break. Lunch will be ready soon."
Ruping nodded, and she leaned close to the ear of the dark-faced woman Sui Niang and whispered something, and Sui Niang's face changed immediately.
As lunch was approaching, Sui Niang's loud voice rang out: "Hurry up today! Provide more food portions to each tent! Be careful when you carry the wooden barrels to just a few tents."
The seven or eight people helping in the kitchen, mostly rough-looking middle-aged women, worked in pairs, carefully carrying wooden barrels of food to the various tents. One of the women, with a sallow complexion, even said, "Don't worry! Sister Sui Niang, we'll deliver quickly and won't let the food get cold."
Sui Niang nodded with a gloomy face. She and Ru Ping watched the people who delivered the food leave the shabby tent of the kitchen one by one.
After a moment, Sui Niang turned to Lan Qingwu, who was chopping vegetables. "How do you work? You're so slow. When will you finish? You're so far behind Zhi'er. Also, you're too thin. Eat more later!"
Lan Qingwu was also helpless. Her pampered body was indeed not good at these things.
Ru Ping quickly said, "I'll help!"
Sui Niang tilted her head and looked at how Ru Ping and Lan Qingwu were getting along, slightly narrowing her already small eyes.
About three quarters of an hour later, Lan Qingwu, Ruping, and Sui Niang walked out of the tent. Ruping said softly, "The main tent has added a lot of delicious dishes, but they were delivered last. I'll go take a look first."
Lan Qingwu and Sui Niang began to inspect the situation in each tent.
Lan Qingwu walked past one tent after another, looking at the rebels lying on the ground. Her face was solemn and she said nothing.
Sui Niang glanced at Lan Qingwu and said, "This hemp leaf is really powerful! But the effect will only last about half an hour. I'm curious, what are you going to do? There are five or six hundred of them, and they're all young and strong men. We women don't dare to kill them all, and even if we dared, we can't kill them all. Once they wake up, we're all finished!"
Lan Qingwu asked Sui Niang, "Then do you still dare to do this with us?"
Sui Niang was silent for a few breaths. "My children and family are at the foot of the mountain. Even for a glimmer of hope to see them again, I will take the risk! Besides—this is hell! If there is a chance to destroy this hell and escape from it, why wouldn't I do it!"
Lan Qingwu shook his head silently. If Sui Niang knew that there was a maze and a trick that trapped them and prevented them from getting out or down the mountain, she would be so devastated!
Sui Niang asked again: "What are you going to do?"
Lan Qingwu stopped and looked at Sui Niang seriously: "If you don't want these beasts to wake up again, please have the people following you drag these soldiers to the tent in the middle and gather them together! Quickly!"
Sui Niang immediately opened her dark eyes and shouted at the eight or nine women behind her, "Do you see these beasts? Drag them away! Quick!"
There was some movement in the main tent, and Lan Qingwu's face darkened. "I'll leave this to you! I'll go check on the main tent! Remember to send two people to release the woman and child from the cage!"
In the main tent, Lin Shaojie held his dizzy head and shouted angrily: "Kill this bitch for me!"
However, the three people who besieged Ruping had obviously eaten food with hemp leaves added, and they were gradually at a disadvantage in the fight. Lin Shaojie stared at Ruping with his eyes like a poisonous snake, and in an instant, two of them were knocked down by Ruping!
There was only one tall and strong man left. He became ruthless and bit his tongue hard to force himself to wake up. The tall and strong man shouted loudly, and Ruping was forced to take a few steps back.
The tall and strong man said hatefully, "I'll kill you!"
Lin Shaojie also bit his tongue cruelly. He drew out the sword he carried with him, and his eyes were like poisonous threads that lingered on Ruping. Lin Shaojie was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity in the dark, cold and vicious. He found the right time and walked towards Ruping with his sword raised.
The effect of the hemp leaves took effect, causing him to stagger. Lin Shaojie rubbed his forehead, trying to keep himself awake temporarily.
Just as he was about to stab Ru Ping from behind with his sword, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest and blood flowed out of his mouth. He slowly lowered his head to look at the tip of the sword that had pierced his chest. Then he turned his head with difficulty, but he only saw a pair of eyes that were brighter and more dazzling than the stars in the night sky!
Lin Shaojie widened his eyes. He thought about his short life and the fiancée whom he had never met but who had influenced his life. If there was an afterlife... he thought unwillingly, if there was an afterlife, he would definitely make a different choice!
Lin Shaojie finally fell to the ground with a bang. On the other side, Ruping also killed the tall and strong man with one sword.
Ru Ping ran towards Lan Qingwu with a pale face: "Master! You...you should let this servant do it!"
Lan Qingwu dropped the sword in her hand. She felt her fingers trembling slightly. She clasped her hands together and said, "Go and help first. Gather them all together!"
Sui Niang's loud voice rang out: "Hurry up! Everyone, move faster!"
Not far away, the woman locked in the cage still had a numb and dull look in her eyes. The open cage door was right in front of them, but they turned a blind eye.
Lan Qingwu walked up to them. Sui Niang beside him sighed and shook her head, saying, "They've all become fools! They can't survive anymore!"
Ru Ping murmured, "Can't live anymore?"
She suddenly walked to the cages one after another and said in a painful voice, "You don't want to live anymore, do you? You think you deserve to die, don't you? But open your eyes and look, those beasts are still alive! You are half dead now? The cages are open in front of you, why don't you come out? Are you used to being treated like beasts by those people?"
Lan Qingwu looked at the pairs of eyes looking at them, and her heart was filled with sorrow. She was powerless to change the deeply rooted ideas and concepts of the women of this dynasty, but how could she watch so many lives disappear in front of her?
