Chapter 549 The Money Shop is Robbed
Zhong Congyun pointed at Xu Yiyi, his lips trembling, "You...you...you..."
After stammering for a while, the rest of the words got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't utter a single one.
Xu Yi didn't even glance at him. Holding the still-dripping longsword, she turned and fought her way to the dock.
She hacked and slashed her way through the crowd, her body reeking of blood. The clothes she was wearing today, which were originally plain-colored, were now covered in dark red and black bloodstains on the front, cuffs, and trouser legs, clinging wetly to her body.
It looks like it's been soaked in a dye vat.
They stormed the docks, finding the streets in complete disarray.
Baskets were overturned, stalls were scattered everywhere, and there were even corpses lying dead.
At this time of day, Ping'an Town would normally be bustling with activity, but now it was deserted. Apart from the shouts of battle below the dock and the sound of the wind nearby, not a single person could be seen.
Looking around, only a few broken lanterns swayed forlornly in the wind.
Xu Yiyi's heart tightened, and without even catching her breath, she ran quickly toward her family's restaurant.
Just as I turned the corner of the main street, I suddenly heard loud banging on the door and rude shouting coming from the right.
She paused, turning her head to look.
It's the town's money exchange.
At the entrance, two pirates were cursing and kicking the heavy door in turn. The door was shaking violently and looked like it was about to collapse.
Xu Yi's eyes turned cold, she gripped the knife tightly in her backhand, and silently crept over.
The two pirates were completely focused on the door and didn't notice what was behind them.
With a swift and decisive stroke, she killed the man.
Without lingering, they continued rushing towards the restaurant.
When I got to the street with the restaurants, all the doors were closed.
Seeing this, Xu Yiyi went around to the back door, raised her hand and knocked hard, calling out in a low voice, "Anyang? Open the door, it's me!"
The room was deathly silent; no one uttered a sound.
Xu Yiyi became even more anxious and raised her voice: "It's me! It's me, Xu Yiyi, open the door quickly."
This time, there was finally some movement inside.
Before she could knock on the door again, a voice trembled with tears. It was Xu Anyang's voice: "Sister Yi, why are you back?"
The latch was pulled frantically, and with a "bang," the back door opened a crack.
Xu Yi slipped inside, and Xu Anyang immediately bolted the door shut again.
The restaurant was dark, with only a faint light coming from the stove in the back kitchen.
In the dim light, one could see the great-grandfather, great-grandmother, Sister Honglian, aunt, and the restaurant helpers.
Men and women, young and old, all were holding something in their hands.
They grabbed all sorts of weapons: a kitchen knife, a rolling pin, a fire poker, a harpoon, and a wood-chopping knife.
Their faces were pale, their eyes filled with terror, yet they forced themselves to adopt a defensive posture, watching the doorway warily.
Upon seeing that it really was Xu Yiyi, Grandma Xu dropped the kitchen knife from her hand with a clatter.
Her legs went weak and she almost collapsed, but Xu Honglian, who was next to her, helped her up.
"all……"
Ah Si's voice was terribly hoarse, but he still gripped the fire poker tightly in his hand.
"How did you get back? Where are your brothers?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
Xu Yiyi briefly explained the situation.
He was once again subjected to a severe scolding from Master Xu.
"What are you trying to prove? Running around like this, I think you don't value your own life at all. It's so chaotic outside right now, haven't you seen how many people have died?"
The old man was so angry he couldn't even suppress his voice.
Xu Yiyi shrank her neck and didn't dare to say a word.
"Speak up! Weren't you so confident just now? Why are you so quiet now?"
