Chapter 251: Killing the Mountain Bandits Again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Knowing that he couldn’t stop his wife, the man could only choose to consent again.

“Don’t worry. When I bring little Chunhua to see Doctor Li, after I have confirmed that the child’s fever has subsided, I’ll come back.” After changing her clothes, Qin Xiaoyao went to Song Que’s side.

Not only did she seat herself down on Song Que’s lap, she even wrapped her arms around Song Que’s neck.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Song Que’s face.

He wanted to say a few words, but in the end, he didn’t.

Qin Xiaoyao, however, knew what Song Que was thinking. She leaned forward playfully and kissed him on the cheek.

“Although the mountain bandits are desperate, they won’t go so far as to randomly enter the house and kill people.

…..

“You take care of Mother and the rest and stay at home obediently. Just don’t go out.

“If you really encounter mountain bandits who come to our doorstep to ask for something, just give it to them,” she continued.

“Mm-hmm. I know,” Song Que replied.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao get up from Song Que’s lap.

However, just as she was about to get up, the man stopped her.

Then, as he pulled her down, she was unexpectedly trapped in the man’s arms.

Following that, Song Que leaned over and kissed Qin Xiaoyao directly on the lips.

After that, they acted all lovey-dovey.

Song Que only released her when Qin Xiaoyao almost recovered herself and was on the verge of taking control proactively.

Song Que laughed when he saw the woman’s regretful expression.

“Next time, close your eyes and be more cooperative.”

This woman didn’t know what being reserved and shy was at all. She needed to be taught properly.

Qin Xiaoyao was utterly speechless.

“Okay,” she answered.

Thereafter, she got out of Song Que’s arms again.

Then, when Song Que was not paying attention, she kissed him on the cheek again.

Following that, she quickly slipped away.

Soon, only Qin Xiaoyao’s laughter could be heard from outside the door.

Song Que, who was in the room, covered his handsome face and laughed helplessly.

After leaving the room, Qin Xiaoyao went to the hall.

She asked Madam Liu to help Liu Daniu and his wife settle down and allowed them to wait at the Song family’s house.

After that, she carried little Chunhua on her back and dashed out of the house hurriedly.

The tense situation on the street was indeed worse than before.

Many of the roads had been blocked by the mountain bandits, and civilians were not allowed to pass.

Qin Xiaoyao either took a detour or climbed onto the roofs to bypass the blockade and headed toward the town center district.

That was right. Doctor Li’s address was in the town center district, and it was in an area that was relatively closer to the central town district.

As she continued to advance in the direction of the town center, Qin Xiaoyao quickly realized that the closer she got to the town center area, the tighter the mountain bandits’ defenses were.

While she was climbing over the roofs, Qin Xiaoyao also discovered that the mountain bandits were actually breaking into the houses to rob and extort some residents.

Of course, such occurrences were more common the closer she was to the town center district.

Qin Xiaoyao speculated that this was probably related to the army’s presence outside the town.

Previously, the mountain bandits had wanted to defend the town and turn Mountain Spring Town into their base camp.

Hence, other than the few days after they entered the town, the mountain bandits did not harass the residents too much.

However, now, the Imperial Court’s army had already arrived, and the mountain bandits knew that they couldn’t defend Mountain Spring Town.

They were thus prepared to drain the wealth of the town and evacuate at any time.

Qin Xiaoyao could hear the cries of pain and pleading in her ears, but she turned a deaf ear to them.

The situation in the west of the town would definitely be better than in these places. However, the mountain bandits might not let that area off.

She had to quickly send little Chunhua to Doctor Li’s place and then go back as soon as possible.

Her husband was so weak and fragile, and the rest of the family was also so feeble and defenseless. She was worried.

When she thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao quickened her pace.

A while later, she finally arrived at her destination after traveling rapidly.

This was a small courtyard. Compared to the large courtyards in the town center district of the town, it seemed very low-key.

Despite this, the mountain bandits still entered the courtyard.

Moreover, there was the sound of intense pillaging and arguments in the courtyard.

The mountain bandits had looted quite a number of things and piled them up in the courtyard.

When a mountain bandit found a brocade box in the house, Old Master Li finally couldn’t take it anymore and went up to argue with the mountain bandit.

Old Master Li wanted to tell the mountain bandits that they could take everything else except for the things in the brocade box, which he could not give them.

However, the mountain bandits weren’t easy to talk to.

The more Old Master Li wanted to retain the contents in the brocade box, the more they refused to let go.

The two sides only argued for a while before the mountain bandit drew his saber.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes narrowed when she saw that the big saber was about to slash at Old Master Li’s neck. She finally took action.

The flying dagger shot out and knocked away the mountain bandit’s big saber straightaway.

At the same time, she leaped down from the roof.

A dagger appeared in her hand.

It was as if she was cutting vegetables. She effortlessly sliced the necks of the five mountain bandits who were preparing to attack her collectively.

The Li family members, who were still terrified just now, were so scared out of their wits now that they huddled together.

After a round of massacre, Old Master Li and Doctor Li were the first to return to their senses.

They gathered their courage and stepped forward.

“Ma… Madam Qin, thank… thank you for saving my father.” Doctor Li had met Qin Xiaoyao several times before, so not surprisingly, he knew who she was. Suppressing the fear in his heart, he stepped forward and cupped his hands respectfully at Qin Xiaoyao.

This woman Madam Qin used to have a massive and powerful figure and was said to be incredibly strong.

After that, for some reason, she suddenly lost weight.

Now, her figure was very well-proportioned, and it was completely impossible to tell that she was actually a martial arts expert.

Based on the situation just now, her martial arts had simply reached the level of perfection.

Even if there were a dozen more mountain bandits, she would probably still be able to kill them all, much less those few guys earlier.

Although the other party had killed people in his house and it could cause trouble for his family, the other party’s original intention was to save his father.

In that situation just now, if Madam Qin didn’t take action, his father would definitely not be able to escape certain death.

Furthermore, once the mountain bandits started killing, they would probably kill the rest of the family too.

Therefore, Madam Qin could be considered their entire family’s savior.

When he thought of this, Doctor Li bowed even more respectfully.

Qin Xiaoyao took two steps forward with the intention to get Doctor Li to straighten up.

To her surprise, as she approached, she saw that the faces of the Li family’s members were filled with fear. Some of them even took a step back.

Qin Xiaoyao was astonished.

Following that, she smiled awkwardly and didn’t go forward anymore.

…..

“It’s only right for me to help when I see injustice.

“These mountain bandits have occupied Mountain Spring Town for many days. They’ve killed and robbed, and they’ve done all sorts of evil things.

“Now that the Imperial Court’s army has arrived, it’s a good time for us citizens with some ambition to serve the country and slay the traitors!

“Therefore, all of you don’t have to be afraid…” Qin Xiaoyao said the words she had prepared in advance, acting like a righteous person serving out justice.

Since she dared to take action in front of so many people, it meant she had already prepared a way out for herself.

The Imperial Court’s army was about to break through the town’s defenses. She would not be faulted for killing the mountain bandits. In fact, she would be credited with having made a contribution.

Sure enough, the expressions of the Li family’s members became more relaxed after hearing this.

They were no longer as terrified as before when they looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

In particular, there was even a young man among them who looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a trace of admiration.

“Haha! That should be the case! That should be the case! Madam Qin’s chivalry is unparalleled. I am impressed!” Old Master Li suddenly spoke.

Following that, he said enthusiastically again, “Quick, Madam Qin.. Please come in…”
