Hong Mei looked up at Li Yu and smiled at her. Li Yu saw that she was delicate and good-looking. Perhaps because she had been in the house for a long time, her thin skin looked fairer than Ah Lian and the others.
“My name is San Qiao. My name is La Mei. Cuifen, Qiao Ju…” The other women said their names.
Li Yu greeted them. Ah Lian said to Li Yu, “Madam, we still have sisters locked in the nearby thatched house. We want to let them out.”
Li Yu picked up the torch inserted in the crack in the wall. “Let’s go! I’ll hold the torch for you.”
Ah Lian nodded and bowed to Li Yu. “Thank you, Madam.”
Everyone followed Li Yu out. Hong Mei shouted from the bed, “Second
Sister-in-law, I want to go with you.”
Ah Lian looked back at her and nodded. “Okay, let’s go together.”
Li Yu saw Ah Lian walk to the bed and carry Hong Mei on her back. When Ah
Lian walked past Li Yu, she said, “Her legs were broken by those animals.”
Hong Mei turned to look at Li Yu and said, “Madam, without my second sister-in-law and these sisters, I would have died long ago. I stayed in this world to survive because I wanted to live to see the retribution of those evil thieves.”
Seeing that a few of her front teeth had fallen out, Li Yu felt that they might have been knocked out by those thieves. She smiled and nodded at her. “You’ll definitely see it.”
Ji Xiang and Ruyi also found the village entrance. They found the manor and stood at the door for a moment, listening. They reached out and pushed the door. It creaked open and their hearts lifted as they walked towards the courtyard.
There were no signs of a fight in the courtyard. The oil lamps in one of the rooms were almost extinguished. There was still not much food on the table and a few sweet potatoes.
Neither of them was in the mood to eat. They looked around the courtyard and didn’t find anything. Ruyi said, “Let’s go to the inner courtyard and take a look first.”
Ji Xiang nodded in agreement and the two of them walked towards the backyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they found the corpses on the ground and the extinguished torches.
Ruyi picked up a torch and lit it. He looked at it and said to Ji Xiang, “Those who were shot were all killed by an arrow. Madam might have already escaped.”
Ji Xiang walked around the courtyard. “These people are all dead. None of them are alive. There’s no one in the house. Let’s go outside the manor and take a look. ”
“Okay.” The two of them walked out of the manor and saw the thatched house at the back. They walked towards the thatched house.
Just as he reached the back of the manor, he saw someone walking around with a torch in front of him.
“Ruyi, let’s chase after him and take a look.” Ji Xiang pulled Ruyi and ran in the direction of the torch.
When the two of them saw the person holding the torch, they were so excited that they couldn’t speak. Ji Xiang punched Ruyi and shouted incoherently,
“Ruyi, Madam, haha! It’s really Madam.”
“Quick! It’s really Madam in front.” Ruyi pulled Ji Xiang towards Li Yu.
When Li Yu heard Ji Xiang’s voice, she turned around and saw the two of them running toward her. The woman hid behind Li Yu and whispered, “Someone is coming. They’ve discovered us.”
“Don’t be afraid. They’re my stewards. They’re looking for me,” Li Yu comforted them.
Ji Xiang and Ruyi ran to Li Yu and stopped. Ji Xiang’s small eyes had already narrowed into thin slits from smiling. The two of them looked at Li Yu.
“Madam, we found you.”
Li Yu also looked at the two of them happily. “You found me so quickly. You haven’t slept all night, right? You must be tired!”
Ji Xiang patted Ruyi and chuckled. “Hehe! I’m not tired.” Li Yu nodded. “If you’re not tired, let’s go and release those women who were imprisoned first.”
Ruyi and Ji Xiang glanced behind Li Yu and looked at the woman who was trembling with fear. They nodded and said, “Alright, Madam. Give me the torch.”
Li Yu nodded. Ruyi took the torch Li Yu was holding and pointed at the thatched house in front. “Is that it?”
La Mei nodded and said, “The two rooms in front.”
Everyone entered the courtyard. Ruyi handed the torch to Li Yu and unlocked the door. Ji Xiang and Ruyi retreated to the courtyard.
Li Yu, Ah Lian, and the others entered the house. Ah Lian carried Hong Mei and rushed into the central room. She shouted, “Ying Tao, Yang Liu…”
The women in the rooms on both sides walked out of the house. They looked at Ah Lian, who was carrying Hong Mei, before shifting their gazes to Li Yu, who was holding a torch, and La Mei. They asked in surprise, “Why are you all out?
Who is she?”
Ah Lian placed Hong Mei on a broken bamboo chair and pulled a woman’s hand. She said to them, ‘Yes! We’re all out. This is Madam Li, our benefactor.
Let’s go to the back and let Cha Hua and the others out before talking in detail.” A dozen women smiled and replied in unison, “Okay.”
Ah Lian carried Hong Mei on her back. The group followed Ah Lian out. Some were talking softly, some were exclaiming, and some were crying…
When they arrived at the straw hut and opened the door, Ah Lian brought out four women with slashed faces. One of them even had a crippled leg.
The few of them listened to Ah Lian’s words with wooden expressions and turned to walk out silently.
Ah Lian looked at Li Yu in embarrassment. “Madam, their faces were cut by those thieves. Ying Tao’s legs were also broken by those wretched thieves.”
Li Yu smiled gently at her. “It’s fine. I saw a few more houses. Is there any more…”
Ah Lian shook her head and said, “No more, Madam, there are cows and mules, as well as pigs and sheep.”
“Alright, let’s go to the manor first.”
Li Yu went out and Ji Xiang and Ruyi followed behind her. The group quickly arrived at the manor. The four women stood at the door and looked at the open courtyard door as if they were looking at a man-eating monster.
Ruyi and Ji Xiang glanced at them with torches and followed Li Yu into the courtyard. Li Yu said to Ah Lian, “Those bandits all died in the inner courtyard. Are you afraid?”
“I’m not afraid,” Ah Lian and the others replied loudly. The others kept nodding.
Li Yu glanced at Ji Xiang and the other two. The three of them led a group of women into the inner courtyard.
Li Yu watched as the women entered the courtyard. When they saw the corpses lying in the courtyard, they didn’t look afraid at all. They gritted their teeth and went forward to kick them.
Ah Lian looked around and said to Li Yu, “Madam, two people ran away. One is the head of the manor, and the other is Big Stone. The head of the manor is called Mu Da. That wretched thief is the most vicious and inhumane.”
Li Yu looked at Ah Lian and thought for a moment. “Follow me. There are still two survivors. One said that his name is Big Stone and the other is Old Lin. Do you know him?”
Ah Lian, La Mei, and the others followed Li Yu to the storeroom. Li Yu lifted the Big Stone off the sack. Ruyi untied the rope and lifted the Big Stone out.
When Big Stone saw Ah Lian and the others, he begged pitifully,
“Sisters-in-law, on account that I’ve never bullied you, spare my life.”
“Beast, evil thief, I’ll eat your flesh and drink your blood..”
