Chapter 7 The Fourth Uncle (Part 2)

  Seeing Xiao Si lying on the ground, Wan Er burst out laughing and turned around to throw out a cluster of silver light flashing cold feathers, which was the family's ultimate skill "Cold Feather Sleeve Arrow".

  Each of these cold feather sleeve arrows is equipped with twelve branches, which are tied to the forearm and covered with sleeves. It's hard for outsiders to notice. When needed, they can be ejected by relying on the power of the machine. Each arrowhead of the sleeve arrow has a symbol carved on it, which can break through the air and pierce armor, and its ferocity is unmatched.

  The five Tiger Hook bandits had approached to within five zhang of Wan'er, but they hadn't expected her to suddenly turn around and engage in battle, and with a single lift of her hand she released twelve cold feather sleeve arrows.

  The five of them were suddenly in a flurry, some jumping up and down, others dodging left and right, busy to the point of being delighted. However, two bandits were still hit by sleeve arrows, one injuring his shoulder, and the other getting an arrow on his thigh.

  Wan'er saw this and her confidence greatly increased. Without waiting for the opponent to counterattack, she let out a loud cry and charged forward with her sword at the bandit who had been injured in the leg.

  Six people were fighting in a dense forest like a revolving lantern. The five tiger-axe bandits were slightly inferior to Yuanniang, but relying on their numerical superiority, they quickly regained the upper hand. Fortunately, two of them were hit by sleeve arrows and Yuanniang's movements were agile and swift, not giving the opponent a chance to surround and kill her, barely able to hold on for a while.

  In the blink of an eye, both sides had clashed for over a dozen rounds. The five bandits stepped closer and closer, gradually shrinking the encirclement, making it increasingly difficult for Yuanyuan to cope with the precarious situation.

  She mentally calculated that the time for ten breaths had arrived, but Xīao Sì was still completely silent. She couldn't help but feel annoyed and said: "Forget it, whether he's dead or alive is up to him, I'll hurry up and break through to find Father." With that, she pulled the trigger, and the twelve Frost Feather Sleeve Arrows installed on her right arm shot out with a whooshing sound.

  Five bandits had previously suffered a setback, and now they were on guard. As soon as they heard the sound of the machine gun, they leapt up and jumped back, swinging their swords to protect the land in front of them from wind and rain.

  Wan Er took advantage of the momentum to break out of the encirclement, and at full speed, she deployed her movement technique to hide deep in the dense forest. Unexpectedly, behind her came a series of "popping" sounds, as a bandit opened his crossbow and shot out six silver pellets in one breath.

  Wan'er knew that if she turned around to defend herself, the other side would quickly follow up and surround her again. Helpless, she could only fly up and dodge the silver bullets like a swallow entering a forest.

  "Bang!" A silver bullet embedded itself in Wan'er's thigh, just a few inches away from her buttocks.

  Wan'er let out a soft cry, and suddenly felt a severe pain in her thigh bone. Her delicate body stumbled and barely landed on the ground. Her left leg instantly felt like it was being pricked by thousands of needles, and the pain made her vision go black. Just then, she heard the bandits behind her cheering: "This stinky girl can't escape now, let's catch her alive!"

  Wan'er leaned on her sword, thinking to herself: "Rather than fall into the hands of bandits and be humiliated, I'd rather fight them to the death. I will never surrender!"

  She gritted her teeth and stood up straight, ready to turn around and fight the pursuing bandits to the death. Suddenly, Xiao Si flashed out from behind an ancient tree trunk, without saying a word, he swept her into his arms and shouted: "I'm here!"

  Wan'er had never been carried in someone's arms like this before, and even though the person was her nominal "elder", she couldn't help but blush with shame and say: "Put me down, I can walk myself!"

  "Shut up if you don't want to die, or I'll beat your butt to a pulp."

  His words were full of grandeur and domineering aura, and he felt that he had finally vented the pent-up anger in his belly.

  As they spoke, he held Wan'er and stumbled through the forest, his pace not big nor fast, only to see him take a step to the left and then to the right, drifting and uncertain, as if drunk, sometimes even turning around in circles on the spot.

  However, it's strange to say that the five bandits were gradually shaken off by him, and they circled around in the dense ancient trees. Obviously, with just a glance, Xiao Si could be seen, but these people seemed to be blinded by something, like headless flies crashing around everywhere.

  At this sight, Wan'er's pretty face involuntarily revealed a look of surprise, and she asked: "What kind of soul-trapping array did you set up?"

  Xiao Si's soft and delicate body was warm and fragrant in his arms, making it hard to conceal his excitement. He said with a pleased smile: "They have entered my formation and are trapped, they won't be able to get out within three to five hours."

  Wan Er said in surprise: "You know the mysterious escape technique, were you setting up an array in the woods just now?"

  "What do you think?" Xiang Xiao Si wrapped his arms around the waist of this soft and boneless girl, sniffing the faint sweet scent in his nose, and said with great joy: "I have a hundred thousand brave soldiers in my chest, and a thousand horses and ten thousand horses in my belly. A few insignificant thieves are naturally not worth mentioning."

  "Bravo." Wan Er snorted with her nose, suddenly feeling a small, hot breath on her face, and her ears felt a burning sensation. She gently patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, you can let go now!"

  Unexpectedly, Xiao Si was exceptionally obedient this time and didn't hesitate for a moment before loosening his hands.

  Wan Er suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, her left leg wound hurting so much that it felt like it was piercing through her lungs, and she almost shed tears.

  She angrily raised her head and didn't want to see Xiao Si's innocent face as he spread his hands and said, "You told me to let go."

  As he said this, he thought to himself: "The debt from June is still pending. That little vixen had just thrown me down so ruthlessly, now I'm getting revenge without adding even half a point of interest, and that's already being quite generous to her."

  Wan'er didn't say a word, her bright eyes coldly staring at Xie Xiao Si. She got up from the ground and limped towards him.

  Xiao Si's heart skipped a beat, and he retreated backwards while saying: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously, if you do, you'll lose."

  Wan'er's delicate face was increasingly stern, her jade-like nose twitching as she hummed: "I'm not being serious nor am I joking, all I need is to stab you in the leg with my sword first, and then throw you down once, that's enough."

  "Hey, I'm your fourth uncle!"

  "Wan'er angrily said: 'Do you still want to take advantage of me?'"

  "Ungrateful little wretch, if it weren't for me just now, you would have been made into a mistress by those few scoundrels!"

  Wan'er has been the darling of her parents since she was a child. In the Jiangzhou branch, from the chief instructor Geng Nan Yi to the gatekeeper Tong Zi Shou, who doesn't treat her with utmost respect and affection?

  Upon hearing Xīao Sì's humiliating words, her slender body trembled with rage as she drew her sword and pointed it at him, saying: "Dare you repeat that!"

  Xiao Si saw Yu'er's eyes welling up with tears and her face flushing red, thinking to himself "This girl is really anxious", but then he thought again: "She injured her left leg, what can she do to me? Can she still hop on one foot and chase me down?"

  With renewed courage, he said: "Yes, I was wrong."

  Wan'er listened to him admitting his mistake, her anger slightly subsided, but she still said with a tight face: "Now it's too late for you to say anything."

  "Yes, yes..." Xiang Xiao Si said: "I apologize to the young lady. I shouldn't have overestimated those scoundrels. For someone like you, even if they were given away for free as a bed warmer, those people wouldn't dare accept!"

  "Xiao Si, I'll kill you!" Wan'er's face was pale with rage, she raised her sword and stabbed at Xiao Si.

  Who would have thought that she had just had a stroke of bad luck, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation in the wound on her left thigh, which immediately spread throughout her body, making her hands and feet numb. She forced herself to take another step forward, but the scene in front of her suddenly blurred and swirled, as if countless colorful lights were swirling around her, and she fell softly to the ground without being able to help herself.

  Xiao Si saw Wan'er take out her sword and advance, and with a swift movement, she escaped several zhang away. When she turned back to look, she just happened to see the girl fall down, her eyes tightly closed as if she had fainted.

  He stood still, half surprised and half suspicious, looking at Wan'er from a distance and muttering: "You silly girl, wanting to deceive me with the same old trick."

  After waiting for a while, Wan'er still had no reaction, but a layer of cyan gas gradually appeared on her crystal-clear and white face.

  Xiao Si was taken aback, crouched down and cautiously took a step forward, threatening: "If you don't get up, be careful I'll strip you naked, first become my wife."

  According to his thoughts, as long as this girl's mind is slightly sober, she will definitely be unable to hold back after hearing these words. Even if she can bear it and not move, there must be some clues between her expression and demeanor.

  However, Wan'er showed no reaction at all, probably because she was really unconscious.

  Xiao Siyi was startled, walked closer and squatted down, carefully lifting up Wan'er's clothes, and saw the silver bullet embedded near her thigh root, under the sunlight, it faintly revealed a seductive cyan silk thread.

  "Ge Lao's is a poisonous pill, this trouble is big." Xiang Xiao Si's heart sank, and he slowly put down Yu'er's clothes.

  Also, Wanyi had no experience in the jianghu, and it was like a tiger's claw, a hidden weapon used by bandits. Ten out of ten would be poisonous. She had previously forced herself to catch up with Xiao Si, causing the toxicity stored in the silver bullet to be fully released, but she didn't know how to control her internal energy to suppress it, and that's why she suddenly fainted.

  Fortunately, her cultivation had achieved some small success, and the natural circulation of her internal energy temporarily slowed down the spread of the toxin, preventing it from entering her five organs and six viscera; otherwise, she would have lost her life.

  Xiao Si furrowed his brow and thought to himself: "This little girl is the apple of Ge's family's eye, if she dies mysteriously in the forest, they can't mess with Tiger Gorge's bandits, but they'll definitely take it out on me. Chi Da Ge may be formidable, but distant water can't quench present thirst, and that would put me in a bit of a predicament."

  But from here back to the city, it will take at least one or two hours, and whether Ruan Er can hold on is still uncertain.

  Xiao Si thought to himself, the most urgent task was still to remove the silver bullet from Ya Tou's leg and find a way to suck out the toxic liquid. Perhaps they could drag it out for a while longer. As long as they could send the person back to the Tonghua Bureau, everything would be fine. Even if Ya Tou died, it would only be because of Old Man Ge's poor medical skills, which had nothing to do with him.

  Thinking of this, he drew out the Youquan knife and looked at Wanyu, saying: "Stinky girl, you hit and scolded me, almost killed me with your own hands. Now you want me to save you? Consider yourself lucky, others might not have my magnanimity to forgive past grievances."

  He laid Wan'er's delicate body flat, and saw that the wound was a bloody mess, with the surrounding skin already turning black and necrotic. If they didn't clean it up soon, she might be left with lifelong disabilities.

  But it was necessary to take off Wan'er's clothes and trousers, and for Xiao Si, who had such a high degree of technical skill, this was the first time.

  He raised the Yōsen knife, staring at Wanyu's curvaceous buttocks and jade-like legs, his teeth clenched and eyebrows furrowed as he fell into a difficult dilemma - to strip or not, how to strip?
