Chapter 233 Preparing to go to the capital
Seeing this, Ning Huaizhi quickly shot a slingshot at the sword, only to see the sword tilt and fall to the ground. Jiang Yuwei also reacted at this time, and hurriedly picked up the firecrackers in her hand and threw them at the man.
Jiang Yuwei then retreated to the kitchen, looked at Ning Huaiyi gratefully and said:
"Huaizhi, this way of fighting won't work. We won't be able to finish the fight even if we fight till dawn. We have to give them a big move."
Jiang Yuwei dug out all the remaining lime powder and chili water from the house and shouted directly to the yard:
"Chili is coming!"
After hearing this, Ning Zhao and the others quickly hid aside and covered their mouths and noses with their heads down. Jiang Yuwei directly poured the chili water in her hand into the yard. Before the bandits could react, Jiang Yuwei ran into the yard and threw a basin of lime powder.
The bandits were choked and kept coughing.
"Ahem, where are you, Boss?"
"I can't see"
"How did you do that?"
“We’re poisoned!”
Seeing that these bandits were quite good at scaring themselves, Jiang Yuwei quickly lit up the remaining firecrackers and threw them at them.
At this time, Ning Zhao and the others had taken advantage of the chaos to leave the yard and hide in the side rooms.
They had been fighting for quite a while just now and were quite tired. Each of them was fighting one against ten. So of course they had to go back to the house and rest for a while now that they had a break.
At this time, Goudan and Ning Huaizhi cooperated well, and they kept shooting at the bandits in the yard with their slingshots.
Soon the bandits could no longer hold on, and one of them shouted:
"Retreat, retreat quickly, and come back next time to avenge the eldest and second brothers!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei immediately understood. It seemed that as soon as the eldest and second boss of the Blood Oath Alliance died, they set their sights on the courtyard. After this attack, there would definitely be a next one. She was afraid that she could not stay in this courtyard anymore and had to leave Ningjia Village as soon as possible.
After Jiang Yuwei saw that the group of people had left, she entered the yard and closed the gate.
After calling everyone in the room out, Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Zixuan and said:
"Now that our courtyard has been targeted, I'm afraid it's no longer safe. I thought since you guys are going to Beijing anyway, why don't we go together so that we can have someone to take care of us on the way?"
Ning Zixuan glanced at Jiang Yuwei and nodded without thinking.
Seeing that her own prince had agreed, Wang Ma naturally would not refute anything. After all, the crisis just now was indeed resolved by Jiang Yuwei's family with a lot of effort, and bringing them along would definitely not be a burden.
Seeing Ning Zixuan agreed, Jiang Yuwei looked at Liu and Ning Daya and asked:
"If you are willing to come to Beijing with us, I will take you with me. If you are not willing, I will not force you."
As soon as Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, Ning Daya hurriedly said:
"I'll follow your sister Yuwei."
Liu also spoke up:
"Yuwei, Goudan and I have no relatives or friends in Ningjia Village now, and there is nothing for us to stay here for. If you don't mind, take us with you."
Seeing that they were about to follow, Jiang Yuwei nodded at them, then looked at Tiezhu and Ning Wu and spoke:
"Whether your family wants to leave or stay, go back and discuss it tonight and give me an answer tomorrow morning. I can't wait any longer."
Tiezhu looked at Ning Daya, then looked at Jiang Yuwei and nodded firmly:
"Sister Yuwei, no matter whether my parents leave or not, I will definitely follow you. I will go back and ask my parents now."
After saying that, Tiezhu took Ningwu home.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep.
The next morning, Liu and Ning Daya got up early to clean up the yard. The yard was messed up by the bandits last night. Although they were going to leave the yard in a few days, they still had feelings for it and wanted to tidy it up before leaving.
Jiang Yuwei went to Aunt Zhou's house as soon as she got up. Seeing Ning Qiu washing her face in the yard, she smiled and said:
"Ning Qiu, were you scared last night? I'm so sorry that you had to face such a thing just after getting married."
Ning Qiu wiped his face with a towel and smiled at Jiang Yuwei:
"Sister Yuwei, what are you talking about? If the bandits want to come to the village to cause trouble, it is not something you can control. I was thinking of going to the courtyard today to see if there is anything I can do to help."
Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:
"It's nothing, Mrs. Liu can clean it up. Isn't Aunt Zhou at home?"
As they were talking, they saw Aunt Zhou coming out with a winter quilt. Jiang Yuwei hurried forward to help Aunt Zhou take it.
"Yuwei, just help me dry it in the yard. When Tiezhu came back yesterday, he told me that you were going to Beijing. I tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep. Now I don't dare to stay in Ningjia Village any longer."
As Aunt Zhou spoke, she scooped some water from the jar and poured it into the basin:
"I thought it would be better to go out and try my luck. Maybe my two silly sons will have a better future. Besides, the capital city must be much safer than our poor and remote place. Even if I am old, I can still go on a long journey with them. This life is worth it."
Ning Qiu listened to the conversation between the two and looked at Jiang Yuwei in surprise.
"Sister Yuwei, what does my mother-in-law mean by this?"
Jiang Yuwei glanced at Ning Qiu reluctantly and said:
"Right now we are discussing that we can't stay in Ningjia Village any longer. Last night was too dangerous. Instead of staying here and waiting to die, we might as well go to the capital and try our luck."
After hearing this, Ning Qiu looked at Aunt Zhou who was washing her face and asked:
"Mother-in-law, have you already planned to go to the capital with Sister Yuwei?"
Aunt Zhou sighed, took out a towel and wiped her face, then looked at Ning Qiu and said:
"Ning Qiu, now that you've just gotten married, I shouldn't have done this, but Tie Zhu discussed it with me last night, and I made the decision after careful consideration."
Aunt Zhou hung the towel in her hand on the clothesline in the yard, looked at Ning Qiu and analyzed earnestly:
"Now that Yuwei's family has left Ningjia Village, both of us have no money-making jobs. I don't want you to live a poor life with us once you marry into our family. So, I thought that if there is such an opportunity, we should go to the capital to try our luck. Maybe we can make a name for ourselves."
Ning Qiu burst into tears when she heard this.
"But, but if I go to the capital, what will happen to my parents? Mother-in-law, I just got married and I have to go so far with you. I can't leave my parents behind."
Aunt Zhou saw Ning Qiu crying and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Ning Qiu, please don't cry. Seeing you cry makes me feel bad. I don't want to leave my hometown like this, but..."
Before Aunt Zhou could finish her words, Ning Qiu slapped Aunt Zhou's handkerchief away, turned around and ran out crying.
Aunt Zhou saw this and said hurriedly:
"Ning Qiu, run slower, don't fall."
