Everyone woke up from their sleep, hurriedly got up and walked out of the room, stood in front of the second floor window and looked down.
On the stone-paved street, a group of strong men on horseback were sweeping around with weapons brandished.
One of them was a strong one-eyed man wearing an eyepatch and carrying a girl on his shoulders.
The girl struggled desperately, but was unable to break free from the thick arms. She could only let the one-eyed man carry her, helplessly shouting for help.
The townspeople huddled in the alleys and did not dare to show their faces. There was only a middle-aged woman in simple clothes, kneeling in front of the one-eyed man and kowtowing to him, begging him to let her daughter go.
"Go away!" the one-eyed man shouted loudly and kicked the middle-aged woman away.
The woman was kicked so hard that she hit her head against the wall behind her and died on the spot.
"Mom!" the girl screamed heartbreakingly, her voice full of helplessness and despair.
The whole town huddled in their homes, silently mourning her, but no one dared to stand up and stop it.
The one-eyed man laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, these ordinary people are so rubbish. They will die with just one kick. They are as fragile as ants."
The one-eyed man's arrogant words completely angered the people in the town and made their bodies tremble.
After killing a living person, he actually mocked the deceased as a garbage ant. This is simply unforgivable!
Although the people in the town were extremely angry, no one dared to stand up and resist bravely.
Everyone buried their heads deep in their homes, swallowing their anger, huddled in the corner and cried silently.
Zheng!
Yun Ruoxi finally couldn't stand it any longer, so she pulled out the sword from her waist and prepared to jump out of the window.
"Wait." Lin Yun grabbed her jade hand and put the sword in her hand back into the scabbard.
Lin Yun shook his head first, and then said to Yun Ruoxi: "They are all low-level warriors, just peripheral members of this group of ruthless gangsters. You can't just scare them off just to kill them, you must first find their lair."
Ren Tanqian nodded in agreement: "Lin Yun is right, we can't lose the big for the small."
Yun Ruoxi bit her lips tightly and glared at the gangster downstairs, but she could only give up.
The one-eyed man opened his rough voice and shouted: "All the people in the town, listen to me, our village leader needs a pair of boys and girls to sacrifice to heaven."
"We are still short of a boy. You have to give him up within a quarter of an hour, otherwise don't blame us for massacre!"
Hearing the words of the one-eyed man, the people in the town fell into panic, their faces turned pale with fear, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
This group of ruthless bandits kill without blinking an eye. They kill as they please without leaving any room for negotiation. If the boy is not handed over, all the people in the town will die!
But who is willing to hand over his own son?
Everyone knows that those who are handed over to sacrifice to heaven will eventually die miserably.
Who wants to see their child suffer such inhuman torture and eventually die miserably?
When the whole town fell into despair, the door of the inn opened in half with a creaking sound.
A pair of boys and girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old, walked out of the inn calmly.
The whole street fell silent at that moment.
All the strong men on horseback turned their heads in unison, and their eyes fell on the boy and girl.
The young man had black hair, was wearing black clothes, and his pupils were as black as ink.
The girl is wearing a white dress, she is as beautiful as a fairy, her pupils are pure and white.
There is no doubt that this pair of boys and girls are Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi.
Seeing Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi walking out, the old shopkeeper of the inn was also frightened.
He couldn't figure it out at all. How did the two people get out when the key was clearly in his hand?
The old shopkeeper hurriedly closed the door, turned around and said to Ren Tanqian: "Sir, they ran out, what should we do?"
"Don't worry about them, they'll be fine." Ren Tanqian was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of morning tea and drinking it calmly.
Seeing Ren Tanqian's attitude, the old shopkeeper almost choked.
My companions are outside, facing a group of vicious bandits, with their lives hanging by a thread.
But he sat calmly on the chair and drank tea like a normal person.
It's unbelievable. Are these guys really companions?
Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi walked in front of the strong men and stopped calmly.
Lin Yun pointed at the girl on the one-eyed man's shoulder and said expressionlessly: "Let go of that girl and let us go."
The strong men on horseback showed playful smiles and surrounded Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi.
"Are you all boys?" The one-eyed man looked up and down at the two of them.
Lin Yun didn't speak, just nodded expressionlessly.
The one-eyed man didn't say anything anymore, but looked at the two of them doubtfully, his eyes becoming more and more strange.
He found that both of them were very calm, without any fear or fear, and there was not even a trace of emotion on their expressions.
The one-eyed man was suddenly full of curiosity. Aren't these two people afraid at all?
The one-eyed man dropped the girl he was carrying, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and put it on Lin Yun's neck. He looked at Lin Yun with a playful look: "Young boy, do you know what will happen to you?"
While the one-eyed man was speaking, he kept rubbing the blade of the knife back and forth on Lin Yun's shoulder.
Lin Yun remained expressionless, letting the blade rub against his shoulder without blinking.
Seeing Lin Yun's reaction, the one-eyed man was completely dumbfounded.
He just wanted to scare Lin Yun and make Lin Yun tremble in front of him, so as to satisfy his vanity.
Anyone in the past would have been so frightened that their legs would become weak.
But Lin Yun was completely indifferent, as if he hadn't seen it, which he couldn't understand at all.
Isn't this kid afraid of death at all?
Or is he tired of living?
"Stop talking nonsense and take us away." Lin Yun looked directly at the one-eyed man and made him feel a little scared.
The one-eyed man shook his head, came out of his daze, and ordered the man behind him: "Take them away!"
Several strong men jumped off their horses, took out hemp ropes and walked towards Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi.
Neither Lin Yun nor Yun Ruoxi resisted, they just stood there and let them tie them up.
After tying up the two men, the strong man took them away from the town.
It wasn't until they disappeared that the townspeople hiding in the alleys emerged one after another.
"Who are these boys and girls? They shouldn't be from our town, right?"
"It seems that they came from other places. It's a pity that they lost a golden boy and a beautiful girl. Once they leave, they will never have a chance to come back."
Looking at the two people who were taken away from a distance, the townspeople continued to feel regretful and grateful at the same time.
Because of the sacrifice of this golden boy and girl, they escaped disaster.
