Chapter 608 Saving Xia Yu

Since Du Mingxian had already made her decision, Xiangyang couldn't say anything more and could only nod silently, "Then please be careful, Madam. I'll tie the horse here, light the torches, and then go in this direction."

"Okay." Du Mingxian took two steps forward, then turned to look at Xiang Yang. "Can I trust you?"

“Madam, Xiangyang has absolutely no intention of betraying you.”

"That's good."

Du Mingxian believed in Xiangyang, but you can't judge a book by its cover. Xiangyang was less suspicious, but he was definitely not entirely innocent.

Following the signs of a fight, she saw that there were three people fighting ahead, and then more people joined in. She saw bloodstains. In the pitch-black night, in the forest at the foot of the mountain, and with the occasional cries of wild animals coming from the mountain, the environment was very eerie.

She continued walking in, and soon heard a trembling sound. She quickly moved forward, found a high place, and with the help of her night vision goggles, saw six people in the open space ahead. Two were standing on the side watching, and three were beating Xia Yu. Xia Yu was clearly struggling and was injured.

Without any hesitation, she took out a sniper rifle from the space and fired three shots at the people fighting with Xia Yu.

When the two onlookers realized something was wrong and tried to rush forward, they were met with bullets from Du Mingxian.

Xia Yu was completely stunned. The people who had been fighting her just moments before had all suddenly collapsed, making her even more wary. She wondered if there was an even greater danger lurking around her.

Du Mingxian had already jumped down from the tree, put away her sniper rifle, and ran towards Xia Yu in a few steps. Xia Yu was extremely alert when she heard the movement, and her whole body was tense.

"Xia Yu, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Du Mingxian's voice, Xia Yu, who had been on guard just moments before, instantly relaxed. When she saw the figure approaching her, she instinctively called out, "Madam."

"It's me. How are you? Do you know who they are?"

“I don’t know. I went to find your group, but I hadn’t been able to contact my own people yet. When I got ahead, I felt something was wrong. Just as I was about to leave, some people rushed out and forced me all the way here. Then a few more people appeared, and I kept fighting with them until the lady arrived.”

Seeing that Xia Yu had two wounds, Du Mingxian took out the wound medicine that Ling Silang had prepared earlier from her space and said, "Stay here and I'll bandage your wounds first."

"Madam, it's too dark here, we..."

"Don't move, just a couple of quick fixes will do." Du Mingxian's method of treating the wound was somewhat rough, but she could also treat it quickly. After she finished, she said to Xia Yu, "When Xiangyang comes over with the torch in a bit, you keep an eye on things while I check on these corpses."

"Madam..." Xia Yu wanted to say, "Madam, it's dark," but she vaguely saw that Madam was wearing something on her eyes. She swallowed the words that were about to come out, thinking that Madam was able to see her wound accurately in such darkness, which proved that Madam could see.

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably relieved. Regardless of where the lady got this thing, it was their good fortune to have such a good thing in such a dangerous environment.

Du Mingxian had already reached the corpses. With a knife in one hand, she quickly stepped forward, examining them and digging out the bullets.

There was nothing on these corpses except for black clothes and weapons.

She was still somewhat disappointed, as she hadn't found anything.

When she stood up, Xiang Yang had already come over with a torch. He saw Xia Yu, whose wounds had been treated, and the lady holding the child. "Madam, are you alright?"

"It's alright, let's go, let's get out of this woods first."

Xiangyang also saw the corpse lying on the ground at this time. She only glanced at it before following Du Mingxian's advice and walking outside. Halfway there, she realized that the lady seemed to have been wearing something on her eyes, something she had never seen before.

However, she dared not ask. Now that all of them were suspects, she dared not ask anything more.

As the group emerged, Du Mingxian looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Can you still ride a horse?"

"Yes, Madam, I can."

"Let's find a place to rest tonight." It's so dark, even if we light torches, we can't find anyone. We'll have to go tomorrow. Xia Yu might have encountered danger because someone was watching them from the shadows.

There are dangers everywhere.

The group mounted their horses. Xiangyang was still holding a torch, while Du Mingxian had already put away her night vision goggles. After traveling about two more miles, they came across a dilapidated temple, where the three of them rested.

Du Mingxian was at the very back. Xiang Yang and Xia Yu tidied things up a bit. The two of them found some clean straw, lay down, and went to sleep. In this weather, it wouldn't matter if they didn't light a fire outside. Soon, everyone was asleep.

Du Mingxian would still get up at night to breastfeed. When she woke up to breastfeed, Xiangyang asked, "Madam, shall we light a torch?"

"No need, he'll fall asleep soon after you feed him, you go to sleep."

"But how can Madam change diapers if she can't see?"

"Yes, I've already gotten used to it, I can put it on just by touching it."

"Yes." Xiangyang stopped talking and lay down to continue sleeping.

Du Mingxian felt that she was destined to be worried and overworked. Although she had servants to use, in this unsafe environment, she had to do everything herself, and she was the only one who got tired. Fortunately, she used some spiritual water from time to time and had a good constitution, so she wasn't too tired. Otherwise, she would have been exhausted long ago.

After Xiangyang fell asleep, Du Mingxian got up and went outside to find a place to change An'an's diaper in her spatial dimension before returning to sleep.

Xiang Yang and Xia Yu knew about Du Mingxian's series of actions. They listened to her go out and come back before they closed their eyes and went to sleep.

They arrived in the middle of the night and hadn't slept long before dawn. Du Mingxian was still asleep; she was staying with Xia Yu who was injured, while Xiangyang went out to search for her.

When Du Mingxian woke up, she found Xiangyang was not there. The first person she saw was Xia Yu, whose face was a little pale. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Madam, I am fine."

Given the circumstances, Xia Yu couldn't rest, and Du Mingxian was also helpless. "You're injured now, why don't you go back to Ping County first and wait for us to return?"

“Madam, my injuries are not serious. I can stay and provide support. It’s not that there’s a traitor among the people from the Wen family, but we can’t be sure who it is yet. I’m really worried about letting my subordinate leave at this time.”

Du Mingxian knew she was loyal, so she didn't say anything more. "When did Xiangyang go out?"

"It's been almost an hour since we left."

Du Mingxian narrowed her eyes slightly. "If she hasn't returned within an hour, we'll leave here first."

"Yes."
