Free Web NovelChapter 1384: Chapter 1379: Taohua in Peril!
Taohua walked through a series of secluded alleys with a smile on her face, holding the medicine in hand. Thinking about returning to the County Magistrate Mansion and being able to cook herself a bowl of fetus-preserving medicine, the smile on her face grew even brighter.
She was too immersed in her own joy!
To the point that she didn’t even notice the sudden appearance of several burly men around her.
The men formed a surrounding posture, continuously shrinking the area around Taohua, shrinking...
Until they reached an almost dead-end alley, the men had completely controlled Taohua, and blocked her path!
Taohua didn’t react at first.
She thought they were just passersby, and after trying to dodge twice without success, she could no longer hold back!
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Taohua asked, frowning and puzzled.
"Who I am is none of your business! But we’ve come to claim your life!" one of the men standing in front of Taohua said to her.
"You... what do you mean? Who wants my life?" Taohua was a bit panicked.
"Want to know?" The man wore a cold smile on his face, "Once you’re dead, we’ll tell you!"
Taohua’s heart skipped a beat. She knew she had run into bandits.
Her life was not secure, yet her poor child in her belly, still unformed, would have to die with her?
"Big brother, please don’t do this. I am the mother of a child, there is a baby in my belly. If you’re willing to let me go, I’ll repay your kindness for the rest of my life, like a cow or a horse, I’m begging you!"
Taohua knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing to the man.
The sound was loud and clear with each bang.
After a few times, several holes appeared on Taohua’s forehead.
Blood gushed out.
The few burly men not only lacked any empathy but instead laughed heartily at Taohua’s plight.
"This woman doesn’t need us to kill her; she’ll do it herself! What cow or horse in the next life, we want you dead now!"
The man said, grabbing Taohua’s hair and forcing her to lift her head, then choking her neck.
Instantly, Taohua’s breathing became rapid, and her face began to turn purple.
Knowing she was near death, Taohua felt only waves of despair in her heart.
"Big brother, please, tell me who wants to kill me, let me die knowing why! I’m begging you..." Taohua whimpered, her cries growing ever more piteous.
Someone passed by the alley, saw the attackers, took one glance, and quickly fled.
Facing five burly men was courting death!
No one wanted to be that fool!
Especially since it was none of their business!
Just as Taohua was about to perish, suddenly...
Before the men could recover, a sharp pain spread from their backs.
A man, or rather, a very ugly young man, not very tall.
His face was dark, and he wielded a whip made of hemp rope with a crackling sound.
Each strike brought the men excruciating pain, splitting their skin open.
"Who are you? Daring to spoil our brothers’ business?"
The men released Taohua and concentrated on dealing with the sudden intruder.
"Ask the devil in hell!"
The young man swung again at the men, the whip seemed alive, hooking onto one man’s neck. He gave a light tug, sending the man flying.
The man slammed against the wall, letting out a muffled grunt before passing out.
In just a short moment, Mu Shuangshuang had dealt with two of the five men.
Of the remaining three, one was whipped several times by Mu Shuangshuang, screeching in pain.
The remaining two men became warier.
But this was a dead-end alley.
When they chose this place, it was to prevent Taohua from escaping and ruining their reputation, but now it became their prison.
"Boss, let’s not waste breath, let’s take this man’s worthless life!"
The man shouted.
The three men, like mad dogs, charged at the young man.
The man remained calm, kicking one after another.
In the chaos, one managed to grab his shoulder, but within seconds, they were thrown away by an unknown move.
His back slammed onto the ground heavily, the bones in his body seemed broken, rendering him completely immobile!
The last man, the so-called boss, was also taken down by the young man.
He lay on the ground, wailing continually, his originally pockmarked face cut open with a whip, looking as if his head had been split open.
Utterly hideous!
After confirming that none of the five men would be getting up again, the young man walked towards Taohua.
"Don’t... don’t come over... don’t come over..."
Taohua shook uncontrollably, every cell in her body screaming.
Especially when she saw the young man coming closer and starting to take off his clothes, her screams grew even more frantic!
"No, no..."
