Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Carriages loaded with goods drove slowly by, the sound of wheels intertwined with the sound of people's conversations, playing a melody of life.

After leaving the city and passing through the village, there were green trees and neat houses.

In the fields, farmers work hard, their faces filled with the joy of harvest.

The old farmer, tanned by the sun, carried a hoe and walked slowly on the ridge of the field. Looking at the fruitful crops that were bent over, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

The women and children in the village sat at the doorstep, doing needlework and gossiping about family matters.

The children held their homemade windmills and ran happily on the village paths, laughing and playing, their clear laughter echoing in the air.

Under the old tree at the entrance of the village, several elderly people sat leisurely, looking at the scene full of human life in front of them, their eyes full of satisfaction.

The guard looked at the bustling and prosperous scene along the way and said with emotion, "Master, you see, we are in such a peaceful and prosperous era now. It is hard to imagine that there was war not long ago."

Lin Xiaoyue retracted her gaze from the distance and nodded slightly, her eyes full of emotion, "Yes! When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer. War is a game played by those in power, but it is the people who suffer. Fortunately, it is comforting to see them regain hope in life now."

"War is so cruel. People died, people were injured, and many families were torn apart and fell into the abyss of misfortune. Fortunately, it is finally over. I really hope that there will never be another war in the future. It would be great if there would always be peace like this."

Chun Xing looked at the soft scenery in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Cao also nodded vigorously, "I hope peace can last forever, and the people will never have to experience the pain of war again.

Everyone looked at the peaceful scenery before them, feeling a mixture of emotion.

Once upon a time, the border was ravaged by wars and the people lived in dire straits. But now, with the joint efforts of everyone, we have ushered in this hard-earned peace and prosperity.

At this moment, everyone is longing for long-term stability in the future and to enjoy peace, prosperity and joy for a long time.

However, fate brought them a huge challenge at this time.

-----------------

On this day, everyone walked to a remote mountain area with dense forests and winding paths as usual. Everyone was admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, the jagged rocks, and occasionally making fun of a certain rock that looked like a toad or a monkey.

The further we went, the steeper the mountain road became. The sky above our heads was covered by ancient trees with lush branches and leaves, with spots of sunlight shining through. The temperature was several degrees lower than that at the foot of the mountain. A breeze blew in, bringing a slight chill.

At this time, no one noticed that in front of a cliff on the top of the mountain, a group of people in dark green robes were holding their breath and lurking in the dark, staring at the convoy below with gloomy eyes, and were stepping into their carefully planned trap step by step without any precautions.

"Rumble--"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the cliff above the head exploded violently. The mountain shook and the earth trembled like a giant dragon turning over. The broken rocks on the mountain poured down with a "crackling" sound. People and horses neighed below, all of which were covered by the huge roar of the landslide and the flying dust, and all this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Back off, back off, quickly."

"Protect the princess, protect the princess."

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

Suddenly, there was chaos and the team of more than a hundred people fell into confusion, but the guards did not hesitate to use their bodies to hold back the huge rocks falling from both sides, and desperately gathered to the side of the carriage where Lin Xiaoyue was riding, protecting her with their bodies.

Lin Xiaoyue rushed out of the carriage with Xiaocao and Chunxing, and saw many guards were smashed into a bloody mess by the rolling rocks. Others were covered in blood and ran towards her desperately to help her block the impact of the boulders.

But how can a human body resist the tremendous power of nature?

The horses were frightened and screamed, and as they ran wildly, many guards who had narrowly escaped the attack of the rocks were killed by their hooves.

Lin Xiaoyue and the others staggered out of the carriage and saw the chaotic scene all around them. Before they could react to the sudden change, a rain of arrows came from above, injuring many people again.

The horses that were shot by the arrows ran around like crazy, and a group of dark green killers swooped down the mountain behind the stone formation and rain of arrows, hacking at anyone they saw, like crazy.

The guards were attacked from both sides, and lost their balance. During the battle, a guard who failed to dodge was cut in half by the enemy and fell in a pool of blood.

The other guards were awakened by the blood of their brothers, and rushed forward with roars, waving their swords and fighting.

It was a matter of life and death, and there was no time for anyone to be frightened or distracted. Everyone understood that they were in an ambush, and the enemy was going to kill them all here. If they did not fight to the death, they would die without a complete body.

Xiaocao had just rolled out of the carriage, and before he could recover from his dizzy state, he saw Lin Xiaoyue jumping off the carriage and fighting with the enemy.

More than ten people surrounded her. An enemy who had fallen to the side stood up staggeringly, raised his spear and stabbed hard at Lin Xiaoyue's back. Xiaocao's brain buzzed, and without time to think, she pounced forward instinctively and used her body to block the attack for Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue's back sank, and she turned around to see Xiaocao covering her abdomen which was stabbed by the enemy. Her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and she swung the long knife in her hand straight to the back, splitting the head of the sneak attacking enemy into two pieces.

Anyone who dares to hurt me will die!

Hate, great hatred.

Lin Xiaoyue moved out more than ten large rocks from the space and piled them into a barrier, letting Xiaocao, Chunxing, Qiao, Doctor Li and others hide under the rocks. She also moved out several bows and crossbows for them to defend themselves, then turned around, clenched her fists, rushed into the enemy, and killed anyone she caught.

Fortunately, thanks to the rock barrier erected by Lin Xiaoyue, they were no longer in chaos despite being attacked from all sides. They fought and retreated, trying to keep their backs to the rocks or their companions.

But the number of enemies ahead was overwhelming and boundless, at least thousands. Such a huge number still made everyone's heart sink.

Lin Xiaoyue threw away her long sword and crossbow, and directly fought the gathered enemies with bare hands. Every punch hit the enemies hard, leaving them no chance to run away in fear or cry for their parents. With one strike, she blew out their brains, completely eliminating the enemy's chance of reviving.

The enemies saw that Lin Xiaoyue was full of murderous aura. Anyone who rushed towards her was violently cut open by her. Blood mixed with red and white brain matter was splattered everywhere. They were shocked by such a brutal scene, and they shuddered all over and their eyes were bloodshot.

But Lin Xiaoyue, who was bloodthirsty, didn't care that her enemies were terrified and just wanted them to stay away from her.

Not to mention that their masterminds behind the scenes would not let go of the current good opportunity to slaughter her here, even if thousands of soldiers came down like a tidal wave, they would still be able to kill her in this pit.
