It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

The sound of swords clashing and fighting behind her was getting closer. Song Zhi held her breath, gritted her teeth and carried the man to a hidden haystack.

She carefully put the person down, quickly pushed aside the messy straw, hid the person in it, and whispered, "Sister, hide well and don't move. No matter what sound you hear, don't make a sound."

Song Zhi just said a few words, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

In order to mislead the black-clad killers who were chasing her relentlessly, Song Zhi deliberately shouted for help several times while running away.

Her voice was exceptionally clear in the silent night sky, successfully attracting the men in black who were fighting behind her.

After making the noise, Song Zhi didn't dare to stay any longer and turned around and ran towards the fish candy she saw today.

At this moment, she was thinking that if the situation became critical, she could jump into the water and escape with the cover of night and water.

After all, it was a hot summer day and the night was dark. As long as she dived into the water, the killers would probably find it difficult to find her in a short time.

But her movements were a step too slow.

While she was deliberately making noises to divert the attention of the men in black, some men in black were already approaching her with torches in their hands.

With the help of torches, the man in black quickly saw the fleeing figure in front of him, and chased in the direction of Song Zhi with a long knife in hand.

This time, luck was not on Song Zhi's side. When Song Zhi ran to a place more than a hundred meters away from the pond, she suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind.

Song Zhi's mind raced as she rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow from the black-clad killer.

The killer in black missed his first strike, roared angrily, and swung his knife again.

Song Zhi quickly opened the porcelain bottle that she had already held in her hand, and then sprinkled the powder in the bottle to the man in black.

The man in black only smelled a strange fragrance and became alert. When he wanted to retreat, he was already half a beat too late.

The itching powder had already been carried to his skin by the breeze. In an instant, the itching spread from his limbs to every part of his body, as if he was being bitten by ants, and the itching was unbearable.

Seeing the culprit taking the opportunity to stand up and prepare to escape, the man in black was extremely furious.

The man in black first called out loudly a few times behind him, then endured the discomfort and chased after him again with a knife in hand.

Looking at the pond so close at hand and the killer chasing her relentlessly, Song Zhi knew that even if she jumped into the pond, she would not be able to escape the pursuit of the man in black.

But she still wanted to give it a try and delay some time.

Just hold on a little longer, just hold on a little longer, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will be saved.

The man in black seemed to see through Song Zhi's intention and blocked her way with a few jumps.

Because of the piercing itch, the man in black's face was very distorted. He raised the knife and stepped towards Song Zhi. "Run, why don't you run?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhi turned around and ran, but before she took two steps, several men in black came rushing over.

It looked like he was being attacked from both front and back by men in black.

Song Zhi was not the type to admit defeat. She immediately turned around and ran towards the farm on the right.

Seeing that she was still trying to run, the man in black said to his companions, "Shoot her legs! I want to see how she can run!"

The night was hazy, and Song Zhi's figure kept flickering in the darkness. The man in black shot two arrows in succession, but both failed to hit the target.

In anger, the man in black picked up two arrows and aimed them at the direction of Song Zhi's escape.

Whoosh, whoosh—two sharp arrows pierced the night sky and shot towards the direction where Song Zhi was.

Song Zhi instinctively sensed the danger and barely avoided one arrow, but the other arrow went straight for her chest.

At this critical moment, a figure jumped down from a height and hugged Song Zhi. The two rolled on the ground several times, cleverly avoiding the attack of arrows.

After stabilizing himself, Zhou Yu looked down at Song Zhi beneath him and asked anxiously, "How is she? Are you injured?"

Song Zhi rolled on the ground for a few times. Her mind was blank at this moment and she just shook her head instinctively.

Seeing that she was fine, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately blew a whistle. His horse immediately came over after hearing the sound.

Zhou Yu turned over and jumped onto the horse's back, leaving only one sentence: "Stay here, don't run around."

After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly, raised the whip, and galloped towards the man in black.

Cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry, and even if the enemy has the advantage in numbers, it is difficult to withstand his offensive.

Zhou Yu rode on his horse, like a black lightning, rushing straight towards the enemy.

The horse's hooves were raised high, and with the force of thunder, they directly crushed the sternum of the man in black who was unable to escape. A shrill scream pierced the night sky.

The other two men in black who took the opportunity to escape were quickly caught up by Zhou Yu's horse.

Zhou Yu, sitting on horseback, relied on his absolute advantage on horseback and his superb martial arts to quickly kill the remaining enemies one by one.

Song Zhi stood where she was, only to hear screams from the front, followed by the sound of Zhou Yu returning on horseback.

At this moment, she stared blankly ahead, her heart pounding. She almost died just now.

She was extremely nervous just now and she didn't feel afraid.

It was not until she saw Zhou Yu holding a bloody sword, dismounting and walking towards her that she realized that her body was weak and her legs were soft.

In front of Zhou Yu, Song Zhi simply sat down on the ground.

"What happened? Where are you injured?" Zhou Yu asked hurriedly when he saw her like this.

Song Zhi shook her head weakly, "My legs are a little weak and I can't stand up."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head, "So you also know fear!"

Of course she would be scared as a human being, but Song Zhi didn't dare to refute it at this moment. After all, the other person had just saved her.

She had no choice but to pretend she hadn't heard and change the subject, "Don't worry about me, sir. Go and take down those bad guys. And Sister Wang, sir, go and see Sister Wang. I stuffed her into the haystack. Go and see if she's okay."

Zhou Yu stood still, raised his hand slightly towards the front, and motioned her to look forward.

Song Zhi looked up and suddenly found that there was a flame rising into the sky not far away, and many torches were swaying.

In the firelight, officers dressed in official uniforms and holding broadswords were killing men in black.

Perhaps she was so focused on escaping that she didn't even notice the arrival of the reinforcements.

She took a deep breath, calmed her nervousness, and said to Zhou Yu, "Sir, did Sister Zheng tell you about the people who were forcibly abducted from the farm?"

"I suspect this matter is closely related to the Chen family in the neighboring village. You must arrest these people and don't let them escape!"

"Don't worry, I've already sent a team to Chenjiazhuang before we set off."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came over, escorting Wang Wanzhi and the injured maid to the house.

When Wang Wanzhi saw Song Zhi sitting on the ground, she didn't care about her sprained ankle and rushed towards her crying, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Song Zhi was thrown into his arms and hurriedly explained, "I'm fine, nothing happened. I was just tired from running, so I sat down on the ground to catch my breath and rest."

After hearing what Song Zhi said, Wang Wanzhi wiped her tears and looked the man up and down. Seeing that there was really no blood on the man, she felt relieved.
