Chapter 2657: Shock
In the dark of night, an azure-clad young man stood in front of the Xie siblings. He was holding an ordinary sword without a hint of fear on his face. Behind him, Xie Yutang carried his little sister on his back with a tinge of panic in his eyebrows.
There were no injuries on the bodies of the young man in azure or the Xie family’s siblings, only a few blood stains on their clothes.
For a brief moment, he was stunned by the three people’s conditions. He instinctively surveyed the disciples of the Guo family surrounding them. He observed that none of them was in decent shape; each had injuries and some were dying. These people possessed far greater strengths than the other three.
Did they not get hurt because the Guo family protected them?
Even thinking about it made him laugh. Even if the Guo family hadn’t been wounded, he didn’t think they would risk their lives to protect the three when the battle formation broke up and the wolves attacked.
“I’m glad you didn’t get hurt.” After a long time, he just said this and turned to look at the other people who were wounded.
Perhaps Guo Xinning’s look of surprise and the way he was staring at them prompted Xie Yutang to consider something. He examined the three of them and discovered that they indeed had no injuries.
They were unharmed because Feng Jiu had been constantly protecting them.
Feng Jiu, it’s all thanks to Feng Jiu.
He gazed at the small figure in front of him, who was obviously not as tall as he was, but who constantly stood in front of him to protect them from danger. Without him, how could they defend themselves against the wolves and keep themselves intact?
…
“Big Brother, go and see if they need any help, and help them bandage the wound. ” Xie Shisi only felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but she didn’t dwell on it. She spoke quietly, breaking the strangeness of the moment.
“Alright.” Xie Yutang replied, letting her down and told Feng Jiu, “Take a rest with Little Shi here. I’ll go and see if they need any help.”
Feng Jiu nodded. She sat by Xie Shisi, pulled out a piece of cloth, wiped the sword, and sat with her eyes closed; as if she were oblivious to the sounds of anguish and crying around her.
Xie Shisi observed the wounds on those people. Some had blood all over their clothes, while others had been scratched by wolf claws with deep wounds that the bones were visible. She could not help but shrink with fear.
“Little Jiu, aren’t you afraid?” Xie Shisi inquired quietly....
“I’m not afraid,” Feng Jiu said as she opened her eyes and looked at her. Her gaze fell on the injured and screaming people in front of her, and her voice returned. “Because I am capable of protecting myself.”
Xie Shisi just stared at her. “Little Jiu, you’re amazing.”
“Mm, I’m amazing.” She looked at her with her head slightly tilted and smiled.
Xie Yutang helped people at the front to bandage their wounds. As he looked at the wounds, his heart was pounding. If he had been hurt at home, he would have cried for his father and mother because he was in so much pain that he would die. But when he got here, he found out that these were all necessary experiences for people who travelled outside to gain new experiences.
“Let me first help you stop bleeding. Do you have any medicine for wounds? I’ll help bandage on the wounds.” Xie Yutang’s voice came from the crowd.
Feng Jiu was sitting in a corner with Xie Shisi. With a slight curve in her lips, she watched Xie Yutang move through the crowd.
