Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Hahaha! I barely made it! (?ˉ??ˉ??)

----split line----

Lin Chunyi pointed to the bow and arrow behind her sister's back, and then the two of them took the bow and nocked the arrow.

Aiming at the two beggars closest to the guard, the arrow pierced their necks in an instant.

The eight beggars behind them looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their faces filled with terror, their eyes searching for the two sisters hiding in the woods.

"Who's there? Come out! Hiding like that, come out if you dare... Ah!"

Go out my ass! They're not stupid. If they can choose to attack from a distance, who would want to fight in close combat?

The second arrow, the third arrow... and several more were captured.

The two guards were now only surrounded by three or four beggars who were still fighting with them, which greatly reduced the pressure on them.

They then focused their attention and quickly harvested the rest, leaving only one survivor who was then knocked unconscious.

The group of beggars lay sprawled on the ground. The two sisters closed their eyes, not really wanting to look.

The lightly wounded guard helped the seriously injured one to his feet, then called out in the direction of the two sisters:

"Thank you for your help, sir. Would it be convenient for you to come forward and meet me?"

Of course they had to meet them; they weren't trying to be unsung heroes. The two sisters jumped down from the tree and went into the woods.

"Thank you both... young master, for saving us!" The two guards were somewhat incredulous, but they still bowed and thanked him.

The two sisters glanced at them and chuckled.

...The two guards were startled by the smiles on the two rather unseemly faces, which made their scalps tingle.

But they didn't mind; this was exactly the effect they wanted to achieve.

Lin Chunyi looked at the lady behind the two maids and asked, "Is that the county magistrate's wife?"

……

After the two ugly, short men carrying bows and arrows emerged from behind the tree...

The child was so frightened that he buried his face in his mother's waist, and the two maids were even more clearly afraid than grateful.

Sun Mengfei was also a little startled; it was indeed the first time she had ever seen someone with such an appearance...

But this was the person who saved their lives.

The benefactor spoke in a woman's voice, so she didn't think much of it.

He said to the two maids, "It's alright, you can move aside."

She gently brushed aside the two maids, then pulled the child a few steps toward them.

Then, holding the children together, he bowed to them and said:

"Thank you both... for saving me. My husband is Zhao Zongyue. Did he send you?"

"We just happened to be passing through the city. The makeup on our faces was done on purpose, so don't be afraid."

"So you are my two benefactors, young ladies. I, Sun Mengfei, will be eternally grateful for your life-saving grace today!"

Lin Chunyi smiled faintly again:

“Magistrate Zhao has been kind to us, and today we have saved your wife. This is just a matter of fate, and we can’t talk about him being our benefactor.”

Sun Mengfei asked with some surprise, "Are you two ladies acquainted with my husband? May I ask your names?"

The two sisters quickly waved their hands, and Lin Chunyi said, "Madam Sun, we cannot be acquainted with you."

"My surname is Lin, and we are just ordinary hunters. We accidentally captured a bandit and handed him over to the authorities, thus receiving some favors from the county magistrate."

Sun Mengfei muttered to herself, "Surname Lin, Lin... two sisters"—it sounds so familiar.

She remembered! Then her voice brightened, and she exclaimed with delight:

"Is the young lady named Lin Chunyi? The girl next to you is your younger sister, Lin Lanshan!"

I know you two! My husband has mentioned you two sisters!

They were said to be two girls around ten years old, intelligent, brave, resourceful, and exceptionally skilled in martial arts…

Sun Mengfei was finally relieved, and the last trace of vigilance in her heart disappeared.

The two sisters were a little embarrassed, as it was the first time they had ever heard someone praise them so sincerely to their faces...

Lin Chunyi calmed down and kindly said:

"Madam, are you returning to your residence? We are also heading into the city; we can escort you for a while."

"Thank you very much, Miss Lin. This would be wonderful."

When it comes to saving someone, of course you have to see it through to the end, otherwise how can you collect your reward? Even though they were doing it to repay a debt of gratitude, they still needed to let Magistrate Zhao know that it was the two of them who saved him.

Lin Lanshan saw the guard, who was clutching his wound and looked pale, swaying precariously, about to collapse.

She took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve (space) and said, "This guard's injuries seem to be quite serious."

I have a bottle of hemostatic powder here. If you need it, you can take it and use it first. Just remember to return a new bottle to me.

The uninjured guard's face lit up with joy. "Yes, yes, we need you. Zhao Gang thanks you both."

The injured guard, his voice weak, said, "Zhao Qiang thanks the two young ladies for their rescue and medicine today. I will repay them in the future."

Zhao Gang took the medicine bottle that Lin Lanshan threw to him and applied the medicine to Zhao Qiang.

……

Zhao Gang led the horse-drawn carriage out, and the Lin sisters also got into the mule cart.

The lady inside the carriage lifted the curtain, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, ladies."

Zhao Gang nodded to them and drove off towards the county town. The two sisters followed behind in their mule cart.

A quarter of an hour passed...

"Sister, why are their carriages going so slowly? Are they deliberately slowing down to wait for us?"

Peach: Who do you think you are? I've even practiced light-body skills. How could I not even outrun a clumsy horse?

Before its owner could pull the rope, it "whoosh" rushed forward and overtook the carriage.

Zhao Gang was driving his horse-drawn carriage when a mule cart suddenly sped past him, leaving him completely stunned...

Lin Chunyi couldn't help but laugh: "Taozi, don't run so fast, stop for a moment and wait for them."

When the carriage arrived, Lin Chunyi said to Zhao Qiang, "Brother Zhao, you don't need to wait for us. Our mules can keep up!"

"Hmph...uh...hmph!" That's right, if it can't even outrun a horse, then it's wasted all that time it ran up the mountain!

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a powerful mule. I'd better hurry on my way!"

So Zhao Gang pulled hard on the reins, and the carriage sped up considerably, pulling ahead of the others.

Peach wasn't going to be outdone and chased after her... The rope that Lin Lanshan was holding was practically nothing!

Since there's nothing we can do, let it chase after it; the chase makes the mule progress!

In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the county government office by carriage and turned left from the main entrance.

Zhao Gang jumped off the carriage, knocked on the back gate, and the gatekeeper opened it.

"Xiao Wu, quickly go and report to the master that someone has hired someone to kidnap the madam and young master."

Thanks to the two young ladies' help, the lady and young master are now safe and sound. However, Zhao Qiang is seriously injured and unconscious.

Xiao Wu quickly opened the door, moved the threshold aside, and said, "Yes, Master Gang, I'll go right now!" before rushing back.

Zhao Gang led the carriage into the courtyard.

Two maids got out of the carriage, and then helped Madam Sun and the young master out of the carriage as well.

Sun Mengfei solemnly said to the two sisters:

“Miss Lin, Second Miss Lin, since you have saved my life, I should treat you with the courtesy due to honored guests. Please come in with me!”

Lin Chunyi shook her head, "Madam, there's no need for that. We just happened to be able to help out; it's not worth your invitation!"
