Chapter 147 Escape
Chapter 147 Escape
Just as Jiang Yuwei closed her eyes and prepared to wait for death, she suddenly heard a wailing sound, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Jiang Yuwei opened her eyes halfway and saw the black dog dead beside her.
Jiang Yuwei suddenly felt like she had survived a calamity. She quickly got up and kicked the black dog to make sure it was dead before getting up. At this moment, the servants of the Ge Mansion also chased out. Tiezhu grabbed Jiang Yuwei and pulled her onto the ox cart. Only then did Jiang Yuwei realize that Ning Huaizhi had already driven the ox cart over.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi with a look of grievance. Ning Huaizhi said hurriedly:
"Yuwei, are you okay? I've already killed the dog. Don't be afraid, get in the car quickly. You drive the car! I'll cover you!"
Jiang Yuwei also reacted at this time, and hurriedly sat in the front, tightened the reins, and patted the cow on the butt.
The idiot was still fighting with the Ge Mansion's men in the back. Fortunately, he was very skilled in martial arts, and the Ge Mansion's servants could not get close to him. Occasionally, one or two who wanted to sneak attack him were crippled by Ning Huaizhi's slingshot. When Ning Huaizhi saw that the distance was almost right, he shouted to the idiot:
"Get in the car, idiot!"
Ning Huaizhi knew that the fool was skilled in Qinggong, and it would be easy for him to get rid of these people. The reason why the fool fought with them for so long was to give them time to leave. After all, the ox cart ran too slowly, so this was the only way to be safe.
After hearing Ning Huaizhi's instructions, the fool quickly jumped onto the courtyard wall, flew over the eaves and walls, and quickly rushed to the back of the ox cart. He landed steadily on the ox cart. Ning Huaizhi was still holding a slingshot to attack the people who caught up from behind.
Lao Cao finally recovered. He only knew Jiang Yuwei, who was driving the car, among the group of people. He prayed:
"Please take me to Sanyuanli, East Street Vegetable Market, as soon as possible. My home is there!"
Jiang Yuwei frowned and shouted:
"Going home now would be like seeking death. Do you think Ge doesn't know where you live?"
Lao Cao said anxiously:
"I want to go home, please send me home. My wife and children are waiting for me at home. You want to buy my shop, right? I will sell it to you for 200 taels tonight, but you have to pay me in cash! I have a carriage at home, and I will take my wife and children with me tonight and leave Ping'an Town after I get the money!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei immediately felt that it made sense. She couldn't let the man run away and abandon his wife and children at home, so she drove the ox cart directly towards Sanyuanli.
Seeing this, Lao Cao hurriedly thanked:
"Thank you so much, thank you so much for saving my life, otherwise Mr. Ge would have tortured me to death. They wanted my house deed, but I refused to give it to them, so they took me to the Ge Mansion. I thought I would never see my wife and children again, but I didn't expect that you would risk your life to save me when we only met once. Normally, I should give you this shop for free, but my wife needs medical treatment, and I need money to escape with my wife and children. I really have no other choice..."
As Lao Cao spoke, he started to cry. Jiang Yuwei couldn't bear to see Lao Cao, a man, crying like this, so she quickly comforted him:
"I know you have your own difficulties. Now that you are willing to reduce the price to two hundred taels, I will be satisfied. The silver and documents are all with me. When we arrive at Sanyuanli, you can sign and seal the house deed to me. We will escort you out of the city. As for the rest of the journey, you can only rely on yourselves."
Lao Cao wiped his tears hastily, nodded gratefully and said:
"You are all good people, all good people. I, Cao, am not destined to die. I am going to take my wife and children to the capital to seek refuge with distant relatives. If you come to the capital in the future, I will definitely thank you greatly. But now I am powerless..."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"It's fine for us to stay in this small place in Ping'an Town. If we don't have to, who would leave their hometown and go to a place as far away as the capital?"
Soon they arrived at Sanyuanli. When Lao Cao's wife saw that her husband had finally returned after disappearing for a day and a night, she hurried forward, grabbed Lao Cao's arm and cried:
"Where did you go to have fun, you damned bastard? You left me and my son at home and didn't care about us. How did you get hurt like this? Who beat you up like this?"
As Lao Cao's wife spoke, she looked at Jiang Yuwei and her group warily.
Seeing this, Lao Cao said hurriedly:
"They are all my saviors. Go and pack up some important things. We have to escape. I will tell you in detail on the way."
When Lao Cao's wife heard this, she was horrified, but she didn't dare to ask more questions. She hurried back to the house to pack her clothes. She woke up her son who had fallen asleep and asked him to help her pack.
Lao Cao was busy signing the documents with Jiang Yuwei, and then he found the house deed and handed it to Jiang Yuwei. Jiang Yuwei hurriedly gave the silver to Lao Cao. At this time, Lao Cao's wife also packed up her things and ran out with her son and many bags of things.
Seeing this, Lao Cao hurried to drive the carriage, settled his son and daughter-in-law, and then got on the carriage.
Lao Cao's carriage was running in front, and Jiang Yuwei and the others' ox carts were following behind. There were not many people from the Ge Mansion chasing after them, and many of them were crippled by Ning Huaizhi's slingshot on the way.
Soon everyone arrived outside the city gate, and Jiang Yuwei shouted to the carriage in front:
"Old Cao, please leave quickly. We will hold you back for a while!"
Lao Cao, who was driving the carriage in front, burst into tears when he heard this:
"There are still many good people in this world, many good people, wife, we must remember this kindness for the rest of our lives!"
Lao Cao's wife heard Lao Cao's words in the carriage, and said to her son lying in her arms:
"My son, did you hear what your father said? You must remember this life-saving grace in the future!"
Jiang Yuwei watched Lao Cao's carriage go farther and farther away, and felt relieved. She turned back and said to the fool:
"There are only a dozen of them left. Can you take care of them?"
The fool's eyes lit up. He had been sitting on the ox cart watching Ning Huaizhi shoot slingshots at those people, and he had been very anxious for a long time. Now that Jiang Yuwei asked him this, the fool naturally nodded repeatedly:
“Yes, all of these are possible!”
Jiang Yuwei looked at the people getting closer and closer and said to the fool:
"Go ahead and fight. By the way, just knock them out, don't kill them!"
The idiot didn't care about these things at all. He quickly jumped off the ox cart and ran into the crowd to start fighting. Ning Huaizhi looked at the idiot's skills and couldn't help but sigh:
"Even if a fool with his kung fu could be injured like that, the person who beat him must be no ordinary person."
Ning Huaizhi then turned to look at Ning Wu and Tie Zhu who were watching the game nervously and said:
"Would you like to learn Kung Fu from a fool?"
They both turned to look at Ning Huaizhi and said in unison:
"miss you!"
Ning Huaizhi nodded and said:
"It's a little harder for you to learn Kung Fu at your age, but with Idiot here, it won't be a problem for me to teach you some self-defense skills."
As the three were talking, they heard Jiang Yuwei shout:
"Fool, watch out behind you!"
