Chapter 209 My Mission is to Protect You
Ru Ping took Lan Qingwu, moved the bed away, and carefully placed Lan Qingwu in the deepest part of the cellar. This was not a real cellar, only a small half was dug, and the space was very small. The owner of this house must have encountered other things and did not complete this cellar.
Ru Ping came out again and restored the bed and other things to their original state. At this time, the streets were probably full of noise and fire.
A moment later, Ruping heard a woman crying and begging for mercy, soldiers cursing, and kicking doors. For a moment, the whole town fell into violence, shadow, and despair!
Lin Shaojie rode his tall horse leisurely on the street, watching those rough men who practiced martial arts rush into the house like hungry wolves. He curled the corners of his lips slightly. The devil on earth has come!
Ru Ping heard several soldiers kicking the door hard. She huddled in the corner of the bed and heard the sound of the door collapsing. Several soldiers came in cursing. Ru Ping watched them break into the house.
One of them cursed, "I've been calling for so long and the door won't open. You little woman, you're so brave!"
Ru Ping's hands clenched into fists. She couldn't dodge or attack, or she would be exposed! Lin Shaojie must be watching outside! Neither she nor her master would be able to escape!
Another soldier said, "This one is not bad. It's still quite pretty, unlike the last one..."
"Just be content! How could we have such a good life?"
Several people pulled off their belts and rushed forward. Ruping gently closed her eyes.
Unconcealed ugly desires and sins unfolded in this night. The bright moonlight illuminated everything that happened in this world.
Lan Qingwu in the cellar seemed to sense something. Her eyelids lifted slightly, as if she vaguely heard a woman's painful voice. Was it Ruping? Lan Qingwu was unable to open her eyes in the end, and she fell into a coma again.
The sun rose high again the next day, brilliant and bright.
Lan Qingwu slowly crawled out of the cellar. With her intelligence, she had already guessed what had happened. The ground in the cellar was soaked with her tears.
Lan Qingwu crawled out from under the bed. She couldn't say a word, but just hugged Ruping tightly in her arms, and she was already in tears.
Ru Ping said softly, "Don't cry! Don't worry! I won't commit suicide. I was just bitten by a dog a few times."
Lan Qingwu had never hated anyone so much before: "I will never let them go! I want these demons to pay the price!"
A cold light flashed in Ruping's eyes: "Me too! I will kill them!"
It was night again. Ru Ping looked at Lan Qingwu who was lighting a lamp on the table and said, "Master, let's talk!"
Lan Qingwu got on the bed and leaned against the headboard.
Ru Ping's eyes gradually became empty: "I'm afraid many people will not survive today."
Lan Qingwu's eyes were red and swollen. "I went to the gate. The old woman's daughter-in-law was persuaded by her mother-in-law. She also has a daughter who just turned ten. The old woman hid her in the rice jar last night. I really can't do anything about the others."
"Master, let me tell you about myself! I actually don't know who I am. Perhaps my parents disliked me because I was a girl and abandoned me. Ever since I can remember, I have been training non-stop. In this world, I have no one I love, no one I can rely on, only people I am loyal to. In the past, it was the Seventh Prince, His Majesty, and now it is you! You are the one I must be loyal to, and my mission is to protect you!"
"When I received this order, it became my fate! Later, I deliberately ran into you at the border, and you rescued me. You said my name, Fu Ping, was not good, so you changed it to Ru Ping. You even personally applied medicine to me. I saw the pain in your eyes, and I thought, I'm so lucky! This is really good."
Lan Qingwu frowned slightly: "Why are you suddenly talking about these things? It's been so long."
Ru Ping said solemnly, "No! Master, I have never been able to apologize to you properly. When we met, you treated me with sincerity, but I approached you with deception. No matter what reason or order, it cannot erase my fault. Master, you have always been considerate of others. When you knew my identity, you kept it secret. You must have been worried about my fate if you abandoned me!"
"What if I really gave up on you back then?"
Ru Ping laughed and said, "Then I really wouldn't be alive today."
Lan Qingwu reached out and held Ruping's hand: "We all have to live, Ruping. Why should the wrongdoers live while those who have suffered the most die? We just have to live!"
Ru Ping held Lan Qingwu's hand tightly. Often, this delicate yet resilient woman brought her new hope and touched her heart. This person told her that no matter what she had experienced, she had to survive. Nothing was more precious than life!
In the following days, the atmosphere in the town was gloomy, bleak and tense.
Finally, one day, Lan Qingwu heard a noisy noise coming from the street while in his room. Ruping pushed the door open and said anxiously, "Master, come with me! I heard that His Majesty has launched an attack on the Hermit Forest. The nearby towns and villages are in chaos. We need to flee to the central city!"
Lan Qingwu's heart sank to the bottom when he heard this. He was about to get into chaos!
The two of them walked towards the city, and along the way, people fled one after another, men and women, young and old, with their wives and children, fleeing on the road, their fate unknown. Some of the elderly, unable to run anymore, stayed in the chaotic town.
Lan Qingwu was in the midst of this torrent of people. Wherever she looked, she saw men, women, young and old, panicking and running away desperately.
The two walked for half a day and found a thatched pavilion to rest.
Lan Qingwu sat down casually, looking around at this hell on earth: a man abandoned his wife and ran away, leaving his wife and child crying in despair; someone took the opportunity to drag the wife aside and started to touch her, and the child burst into tears!
At this moment, these crimes that are invisible in daily life can be seen everywhere!
Lan Qingwu's hands were trembling slightly. Ruping reached out and grabbed her hand, and Lan Qingwu calmed down a little.
Two days later, the situation was even worse! Some people, unable to bear the hunger, began to reach out to the weakest and most helpless children.
Lan Qingwu and Ruping had tied their hair up, and if you didn't look closely, they looked like ordinary men. Even so, Lan Qingwu was still kidnapped by several people. Those people's eyes were so hungry that green light flashed. They were knocked down one by one by Ruping, and after that, they stared at the two of them less and less.
One day, the two were walking on the road when Lan Qingwu suddenly heard the sound of a child crying. She paused and Ru Ping said, "Master, we can't do anything about it."
Lan Qingwu nodded, lowered his head and continued walking forward.
The child's crying was even louder, and the heart-wrenching cry made people feel suffocated when they heard it.
Lan Qingwu and Ruping suddenly stopped at the same time. They looked at each other in shock. Ruping opened her mouth and asked, "How could it be?"
Lan Qingwu had already pulled Ruping towards the crying sound.
It was a dilapidated temple, and three ragged middle-aged men were beating a boy about ten years old. The boy was extremely stubborn and held the three men back.
Finally, someone broke free from the boy's clutches. He grabbed another smaller girl who had fallen to the ground, muttering, "Don't worry, little brat! You'll be next!"
He lifted the crying girl onto a large pot, which was emitting billowing white smoke and bubbling hot air.
The man shouted, "Hurry up! One more person!"
Another man kicked the boy's hand away, walked to the big pot, pulled out a knife with a "swish", and then he swiftly cut the girl's arm. Something fell into the hot pot, and blood gushed out, accompanied by the girl's heart-wrenching cry and the boy's painful and desperate screams!
