Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Xiao Zhixue chewed the last bit of roasted wolf meat in her mouth. The rough but wild-flavored food melted in her mouth, seeming to symbolize her unruly and tenacious nature at the moment.

She raised her head slightly, and her eyes met Qian Zhi's. The frank and fearless look on her face made the air around them seem to freeze for a moment.

Qian Zhi was struggling internally. He knew very well that the person who reported the case to the police must be caught and not let off easily, but Xiao Zhixue's kindness prevented him from doing it.

The officers around all lowered their heads, weighing the pros and cons silently in their hearts. No one was willing to easily throw down the weight on the scale between emotion and law.

After Xiao Zhixue finished her meal, she calmly threw the branch she had been using as chopsticks into the fire. Sparks flew everywhere, just like her unyielding will.

She brushed the dust off her hands, stood up, and her eyes were calm and sharp, striking the hearts of everyone present.

Qian Zhi wanted to say something but stopped himself, his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible object, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

After observing the other person's expression, Xiao Zhixue took the initiative to propose a solution. Her voice was cold and firm, revealing an unquestionable courage.

When Qian Zhi heard this, although he was full of doubts about Xiao Zhixue's plan, he felt somewhat relieved to see that she was willing to cooperate.

At this time, a smart officer stepped forward, hoping to reduce the complexity of the situation with his actions, while also protecting the master from unnecessary involvement.

Xiao Zhixue's brows relaxed. Now that someone was willing to lead the way, the journey to find the centipede would undoubtedly be much smoother.

She nodded in agreement, her words filled with trust and gratitude towards these officials.

So, Xiao Zhixue personally extinguished the bonfire that had witnessed many stories, and followed the officials into the unknown and dangerous territory.

In the night wind, they walked through the grass and passed through the dark forest. Every move they made was so cautious, for fear of disturbing the hidden crisis.

Following the officer's instructions, the group went deep into the damp place, where the air seemed to be able to squeeze out water.

Just when everyone began to doubt whether the search was in vain, an excited and nervous voice broke the silence, and all eyes were instantly focused on an inconspicuous corner.

The black centipede seemed to be a symbol of evil crawling out of the darkness. It moved slowly and confidently, with disdain for everything around it.

It was not until the officer's cry caught its attention that it turned its head sharply and pounced on him at astonishing speed. At that moment, fear made even the bravest man tremble.

And at this critical moment, Xiao Zhixue raised a scornful smile at the corner of her mouth.

She flashed and moved as nimbly as a civet cat, stepping on the centipede's back effortlessly, and then captured the poisonous creature with her bare hands.

This series of actions is as fast as lightning and breathtaking.

Everyone around was dumbfounded and dared not even breathe, especially the officer hiding behind the tree, whose legs had almost lost the strength to support themselves.

They didn't know that the reason why Xiao Zhixue was so calm was because she had already prepared well and had applied a special centipede-repelling ointment on her body. This was both a sign of confidence in her own strength and a sign of full preparation for unknown challenges.

She nimbly and carefully placed the red-spotted centipede into a prepared bamboo tube and quickly sealed the lid to ensure that it could not escape.

The people around witnessed this scene and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that she moved swiftly, had a calm face and was not hurt at all. The tense atmosphere gradually eased.

Xiao Zhixue put away the bamboo tube containing the centipede, a faint smile flashed across the corner of her mouth, and she turned to Qian Zhi beside her and said softly: "Okay, now I can go back to the government office with you to solve this matter."

Seeing Xiao Zhixue's cooperation, Liu Yu felt relieved and thought that his mission this time could finally be completed successfully. He couldn't help but feel relieved that he would be able to go back and report soon.

Xiao Zhixue initially considered letting her two brothers return to the dilapidated temple that was full of warm memories first, but before she finished her words, her two brothers shook their heads firmly, with an unquestionable determination in their eyes.

They knew very well that they could not let Xiao Zhixue face the cunning Xiao Wang and the sarcastic Fang alone.

In their hearts, even if there is a one in a thousand risk that their sister will bear the blame, as brothers, they will stand up without hesitation and bear all possible storms on their shoulders.

Feeling the deep concern of her brothers, Xiao Zhixue felt a warm current in her heart. Finally, she smiled slightly, gave up her insistence, and decided to let the three of them appear together in the coming storm.

So, the group of three, led by the official, walked hurriedly but firmly, and soon arrived at the solemn gate of the government office.

As you step into the solemn and dignified court, the scene before you is frightening.

Xiao Wang and his group of four knelt on the cold stone floor in dishevelled clothes, looking extremely embarrassed.

Ding Xiang and Fang had obviously been kneeling for a long time, constantly changing their postures, trying to relieve the pain in their knees; while Xiao Wang and the driver, one covered his forehead as if he had an unbearable headache, while the other hugged his arms tightly with a look of agony.

In the center of the court, the lawyer stood behind the desk with a stern expression, as if he was the embodiment of justice. The officials standing on both sides held water and fire sticks, showing their majesty, adding a bit of solemnity to the atmosphere.

Xiao Wang and the others had obviously been waiting for a long time, with impatience written all over their faces, but this was not their Jinguan Town after all, and there were officials closely monitoring the area, so they did not dare to act recklessly.

However, when their eyes caught the figure of Xiao Zhixue and her two brothers walking calmly, a hint of resentment and calculation flashed in their eyes.

Xiao Wang snorted inwardly, his eyes dark, "Xiao Zhixue, let's see how long you can be so arrogant."

Seeing this, the driver jumped out first and complained to the official sitting in the hall almost angrily: "Sir, all this is caused by her!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhixue couldn't help but sneer. She strode forward with a straight figure, staring down at the driver with an unquestionable firmness in her tone: "You said I beat him? Okay, then tell me which eye saw it with your own eyes? Where is the evidence? Why not show it to everyone!"

The driver was speechless for a moment, his face flushed red. He knew very well that what he had just said was only out of anger. If he was asked to provide conclusive evidence, it would be impossible for him to do so.

Recalling the scene of Xiao Zhixue whipping him with a whip, looking at her now, there was no trace of a whip or other weapons on her body.

What he didn't know was that as early as when she met Liu Yu and the others, Xiao Zhixue had already cleverly put the whip and other things into her own unique little world, which was a secret space that outsiders could not touch.

Faced with the driver's speechless state and the silent doubts from those around her, Xiao Zhixue was not at all flustered, but instead appeared even calmer and more composed.
