The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Danger, Rescue
Li Yu used her long saber to push aside the wild grass and vines on the road and walked up the stream. On the way, she hunted a few fat wild ducks, a few pheasants, and two nests of wild eggs. When she reached a depression in the mountain, she saw a group of wild deer leisurely eating grass in the depression. Li Yu took out her bow and shot two of them, while the others fled in all directions.
Li Yu caught up to a wild deer that had been shot. She slashed it to death and put it into the space. Then, she chased after the other injured wild deer and caught up to it in a forest. Li Yu had just killed the wild deer and put it into the space when she suddenly smelled a stench. She looked up and saw a brown bear standing three to four meters ahead looking at her.
When the brown bear saw Li Yu, it straightened up and rush towards her. Li Yu didn’t dare to face it and hurriedly hid in the space. The brown bear rushed to where Li Yu had been standing and realized that it had lost its target. It could smell the blood left behind by the wild deer, but it couldn’t find its prey. It angrily knocked down two thick pine trees and panted heavily. It stood there and looked around for traces of its prey.
Li Yu silently prayed that the brown bear would leave quickly. Otherwise, she would be ejected out of the space in 15 minutes.
The brown bear circled around and sniffed around unwillingly. Seeing that it really could not find any traces of its prey, it twisted its heavy body and crawled towards the cave.
Not long after the brown bear left, Li Yu was ejected from the space. When she came out, she saw the brown bear crawling towards the cave. She hurriedly held her breath and hid back in the space.
When she was ejected again, there was no longer any trace of the brown bear around her. Li Yu hurriedly put the backpack into the space and ran quickly in the forest with the long knife. Only when she felt that she had left the brown bear’s territory did she stop to lean against a big tree. She sat on a rock under the tree to regulate her breathing. She drank two mouthfuls of sugar water and ate two meat pies before getting up and walking forward.
After taking a few steps, she was hit by the chestnuts that fell from a tree. Her scalp was scraped. Li Yu looked up and saw chestnuts all over the tree and on the ground.
Hurriedly, she removed the backpack from the space and picked up the chestnuts. She picked up the fresh chestnuts from the ground and placed them in the backpack. Then, she cut a long wooden stick and climbed up the chestnut tree to knock the chestnuts from the tree. Only when she had knocked down the chestnuts that he could reach did he get down from the tree, pick up the chestnuts from the ground, and store them in the space. She began to walk back.
Only then did she realize that she had gone too far in chasing the wild deer. No wonder she had encountered the brown bear.
As Li Yu walked, she secretly rejoiced that she had this magical space to escape to.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of fighting in front of her. Li Yu was hiding behind a big tree. When she stuck her head out, she saw Ji Xiang protecting a man as he retreated. A masked man in green was approaching the two of them.
Li Yu realized that Ji Xiang was already injured. His movements became slower and slower. She gently put down her backpack and pulled out her long saber, hesitating if she should go forward to help.
Ji Xiang pushed Zhou Jia and urged, “Young Master, leave quickly.”
Zhou Jia covered the wound on his arm and hated himself for being powerless. Seeing that Ji Xiang was rushing towards the assassin, he could only turn around and escape down the mountain. After running for a while, he was exhausted and fell to the ground.
Li Yu saw that Ji Xiang had pushed that young master away and rushed towards the killer again. She was still hesitating whether to help or not.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Xiang was stabbed again. She gritted her teeth and rushed over with a long saber. When Ji Xiang saw Li Yu, he hurriedly shouted, “Miss Li, leave quickly and help me take Young Master away.”
The man in green heard Ji Xiang call someone for help. But when he saw that it was a woman, he stopped paying attention to Li Yu and focused on dealing with Ji Xiang.
Li Yu jumped up and slashed at the green-robed man’s back. The green-robed man felt a gust of wind and hurriedly retracted his sword to block Li Yu’s long saber.
The sword in the green-robed man’s hand was broken by Li Yu. The green-robed man did not expect Li Yu to be so strong and was stunned for a moment.
While the man in green was stunned, she kicked at his groin. The man in green did not expect Li Yu to use such a dirty move. He hurriedly stabbed at Li Yu with his broken sword to protect his groin. Li Yu took the opportunity to slash at his chest.
Ji Xiang also took the opportunity to stab at the man in green. The man in green was attacked from both sides and was pierced through the back by Ji Xiang’s sword. His chest was split open by Li Yu’s sword, and he fell to the ground and twitched a few times before dying.
Ji Xiang covered his wound and panted heavily. “Miss Li, please help me see how Young Master is doing.”
Li Yu took out the Golden Creation Medicine and handed it to Ji Xiang. “Take it. This is Golden Creation Medicine. Take care of your own life first.”
“Please, Miss Li.” Ji Xiang looked at Li Yu pleadingly. Li Yu nodded and chased after Zhou Jia. Before long, he saw a dirty and handsome man sitting with his eyes closed against a big tree.
Li Yu thought to herself that when a good looking person would look good even when he’s dirty.
He walked over and squatted down. He looked at the beautiful man in front of him and shouted, “Hey! How are you?”
Zhou Jia opened his eyes and looked at Li Yu. He asked weakly, “Miss Li, how’s Ji Xiang?”
“He’s not dead. Wait here for me to bring him over.” Li Yu turned around and ran towards Ji Xiang. She glanced at the weak Ji Xiang. “Your young master is fine.”
As she spoke, she went over and searched the man in green. She found a handful of golden leaves, a few pieces of silver, a banknote, a bronze waist token, and a small jar. Li Yu dragged the man to the edge of the cliff and threw him down the mountain stream.
Walking back to where Ji Xiang was resting, she handed him the waist tag and small jar. “I won’t give you the money. Let’s treat it as your payment to me. What are you going to do?”
Ji Xiang took the waist token and put it in his pocket. He forced himself to get up. “Miss Li, please help us again. We have to leave quickly. It will be troublesome if the smell of blood attracts wild beasts when the sky is about to darken.”
“Let me carry you!” Li Yu went to empty the chestnuts in the backpack and placed Ji Xiang in it. She carried Ji Xiang and walked towards Zhou Jia.
Ji Xiang was powerless and could only let Li Yu carry her. When he saw Zhou Jia, he was relieved and fainted.
Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and thought to herself that he was only good looking with no brawns.
Zhou Jia tried to stand up, but he failed twice. Li Yu secretly curled her lips and reached out her hand to Zhou Jia. “Come on! I’ll help you walk.”
“Miss Li, I can walk.” Zhou Jia used all his strength to stand up. He staggered and fell to the ground.
Li Yu rolled her eyes. “Stop nagging. I don’t want to be eaten by wild beasts with you.” Li Yu reached out to Zhou Jia. Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu’s small hand and reached out to her. Li Yu pulled Zhou Jia up and carried him down the mountain.
Zhou Jia’s tall and thin body leaned against Li Yu. He listened to Li Yu panting with some difficulty as she carried Ji Xiang on his back. He secretly tried his best to reduce Li Yu’s burden.
When they were about to reach the wooden bridge, Ruyi rushed over. When he saw Zhou Jia, who was being supported by Li Yu, he felt relieved. He crossed the wooden bridge in a few steps and carried Zhou Jia on her back. He asked softly, “Young Master, how are you? Where’s Ji Xiang?”
Li Yu turned her head and said, “I’m carrying Ji Xiang!”
Only then did Ruyi see Ji Xiang on Li Yu’s back. He said gratefully, “Miss, thank you for saving my young master and Lucky.”
Li Yu saw that the sun had already set. Afraid that Li Qing would worry, she carried Ji Xiang and walked towards the wooden bridge. “It’s fine. Let’s go! My family is getting anxious.”
The few of them quickly crossed the wooden bridge and walked the mountain path. When they were about to reach Butcher He’s house, Li Yu saw a mule cart parked at the turn. She said to Ruyi, “Is that your mule cart?”
“Yes, Miss. Please put Ji Xiang in the car.” Ruyi took a few steps forward and passed Li Yu. She helped Zhou Jia into the cart and turned around to help Li Yu put down the backpack. She carried Lucky out of the backpack and bowed to Li Yu. “May I know where you live…”
“There’s no need. I’ve already collected the reward.” After Li Yu finished speaking, she carried her backpack and disappeared around the corner.
Ruyi put Ji Xiang away and saw that his breathing was rapid. Seeing that Zhou Jia was leaning against the wall of the cart and looking fine, she hurriedly drove the mule cart towards East Mountain Village.
