The cold axe was placed on her neck and formed a small cut on her skin. She felt a sizzling pain as if her head would fall to the ground in the next second. Li Miaoyu's face turned pale.
Her legs trembled as she stuttered in panic. "Murderer. You have to pay for murder. My brother is right behind. He won't let you go."
Bai Wutong glanced at her casually. "Oh, just in time to kill a pair." As if killing someone was as easy as eating.
She exerted a little force on her hand, and Li Miaoyu's wound deepened. The subtle smell of blood suddenly magnified dozens of times.
Bai Wutong was really daring!
Li Miaoyu was finally afraid. Her legs went limp and she staggered to the ground. She crawled up and shouted as she ran, "Don't kill me, don't kill me…"
Bai Wutong watched her piss herself and dive into the bushes. With a snort of laughter, she hung the axe back on her hip and sat on the ground, stirring the porridge in the small pot.
Chu Tianbao squatted down like her and looked eagerly at the small pot.
Bai Wutong gave him a sidelong glance and raised the spoon. Chu Tianbao's eyes lit up as he craned his neck and opened his mouth, waiting for Bai Wutong to feed him.
A smile flashed in Bai Wutong's eyes. She waved the spoon around in front of his mouth and put it back into the pot.
Chu Tianbao pouted like a poor dog who had not eaten.
Bai Wutong smiled. "Stupid. It's not cooked yet." Then she skillfully took a mint from her pocket and threw it into his mouth.
He was following her and helping others count money after being sold.
Bai Wutong had planned to have some porridge, pickles, and roast pheasant here when Li Miaoyu suddenly appeared and interrupted her plan.
When the rice porridge was ready, she spooned it into a water bag she could always drink from and handed it to Chu Tianbao. "Eat as we go."
As Chu Tianbao took it, a group of men, women, and children rushed over.
Li Dali's gaze landed on the pheasant, his face filled with greed. Relying on their advantage in numbers, he pointed at them aggressively. "If you know what's good for you, hand over everything. Otherwise…"
Li Miaoyu pointed at Bai Wutong Tree and said excitedly, "Brother, look at their bulging bags. They were cooking white rice here just now! Other than food, there must be silver!"
As long as they had money and food, Li Dali would not sell her.
Upon hearing the words "white rice, food, and silver", these hungry people felt as if they had been injected with spiritual energy. Their faces were flushed with greed.
The child in the woman's arms clapped happily when he saw the pheasant on the ground. "Father, I want chicken. I want chicken now."
Li Dali raised his sickle and said confidently, "Be good. I'll give you chicken later."
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were alone, but they had two adult men and three women. If they dared to resist, no one would know even if they killed them in the wilderness.
Li Dali's killing intent rose. Chu Tianbao also raised his dagger. He looked at Bai Wutong and asked innocently, "Wife, can I kill them?" It was as if killing all of them was as simple as killing chickens.
Li Dali's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Chu Tianbao warily.
He had never killed anyone before, but against the strong Chu Tianbao, he was actually still weak. Otherwise, he would have directly gone up to snatch from them instead of letting Li Miaoyu use some honey trap.
Li Miaoyu said anxiously, "What are you afraid of? He's just a fool. Surround him with Father. We'll go and snatch the bag."
Bai Wutong smiled coldly and looked at Li Miaoyu. "You're quite bold."
A fifteen-year-old girl not only proposed personally, but also dared to order others to kill them.
Li Miaoyu scolded angrily, "Ugly freak, why are you being so sarcastic? Do you believe that I'll cut your face apart!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Tianbao suddenly appeared in front of her. He was so fast that she couldn't even see him clearly. With a whoosh, the sharp knife slashed past. She didn't even feel any pain. A few centimeters of blood appeared on her delicate face. It extended from her glabella to the corner of her mouth. Her skin was lacerated and her flesh was bleeding. It was terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Tianbao returned to Bai Wutong's side like a ghost. He was still holding the dripping dagger in his hand. His cold expression did not look like a fool at all. He was clearly a ferocious wolf!
The Li family members stood there in horror, their hearts almost jumping out of their throats.
Li Miaoyu, whose face was itchy and dazed, subconsciously raised her hand to touch it. Her hand was covered in blood. She immediately cried out in horror, "Ahhh… My face, my face…"
Bai Wutong glanced coldly at the frightened Li family members. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood-stained dagger in Chu Tianbao's hand clean.
Chu Tianbao put his well-defined hand in front of Bai Wutong and said innocently, "Wife, wipe it."
There was also a little blood on his hands.
Bai Wutonglooked at him crossly. 'He's so delicate. I really shouldn't indulge him.'
Then, as if he had done it a thousand times, he returned the cleaned dagger to his waist and replaced it with a clean handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully.
At this moment, the Li family deeply realized that Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao completely regarded them as ants that could be killed at any time.
When they saw Li Miaoyu kneeling on the ground and crying miserably, the Li family's defense line completely collapsed. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged, "Swordswoman, swordsman, please spare us, spare us…"
Bai Wutong glanced at the trembling child in the woman's arms and said to Chu Tianbao, "Let's go."
Chu Tianbao immediately picked up the bag, picked up the pheasant, and chased after Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao's figures completely disappeared. Only then did the Li family dare to collapse to the ground and let out a long breath.
Li Miaoyu was still crying miserably at the side. "Mother, find me a doctor, a doctor!"
Li Dali thought about how he had almost lost his life just now. Yet she still wanted to find a doctor. Did she really think she was made of gold?
With nowhere to vent his anger, Li Dali kicked Li Miaoyu in the chest. "You jinx, your whole family was almost killed by you!"
Li Miaoyu screamed. "I did it for everyone!"
Madam Li frowned and sighed. "If we don't have enough to eat today, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
Li Dali's gaze landed on Li Miaoyu's face again, and the resentment in his heart became even stronger. "Li Miaoyu has become like a ghost. No one would even want her for half a catty of food. Bringing her along is a burden. Strip her clothes and let's go."
Li Miaoyu's eyes widened and she clutched her chest in fear. "I'm your biological sister. How can you do this to me!"
Li Dali sneered. "It's a waste of food for you to be alive now."
It was her child after all. Mother Li couldn't bear it. She wiped her tears and said, "Dali, listen to me. Leave the clothes for her."
Li Miaoyu didn't feel touched at all. She only felt cold all over. Even her mother was about to give up on her.
She roared with all her might, "Why are you treating me like this! These days, I was the one who had exchanged for the food. Without me, you would have starved to death! You're heartless. I was unlucky to be born in the Li family…"
"Pa~"
Li Miaoyu raised her head in a daze after being slapped by Father Li.
"Evil creature, I should have drowned you alive when I gave birth to you."
"Let's go!"
After the Li family dragged their belongings away, Li Miaoyu got up in fear and staggered after them.
If she did not have the protection of the Li family, she would really be finished.
