Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 217: 215: Ye Lei Seriously Injured, Ruo Ning Gets Beaten, Sisi’s Heartache

Bending down on the not-so-large platform, she barely picked up a palm-sized broken stone, mustering her strength to resist!

In the face of absolute power, all cunning strategies would pale in comparison!

The man’s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, his originally ordinary face became extraordinarily deep, as he firmly locked onto her but did not speak.

Liu Sisi also glared angrily, neither of them spoke.

Her heart was secretly anxious, Ye Lei’s injuries were too severe. If they continued to drag on like this, he would die of blood loss without the need for anyone else to take action. She had to find a solution quickly.

“Cough cough… Si, Sisi?”

On the ground, Di Yelei coughed in a series of sounds, as if he had regained consciousness.

He reluctantly half-opened his eyes, but as soon as his gaze met the man’s, they widened, and he struggled to get up from the ground.

“Ye Lei, don’t move! Your wounds…”

Liu Sisi choked, tears wetting her eyes. Even so, she proudly held her head high and glared furiously at the newcomer.

Di Yelei’s face showed an extreme grayish-white, even his bronze skin could not hide the complete absence of color. He shakily leaned against the cliff to stand up, barely maintaining his balance.

His eyes could barely focus, as they stared intently at the man before him. His fragile, tottering body stubbornly blocked Liu Sisi.

“If you really have… any tricks… just aim them at me! Fighting a woman…it’s nothing impressive! Come on, come here! Let’s fight again…”

As he spoke, a strand of fresh blood fell from the corner of his mouth.

“Ye Lei, please don’t speak anymore, stop talking…”

Liu Sisi didn’t care about his injured body, she immediately embraced him, shielding him with her chest!

“You want me, right? All you’re getting is this body of mine! Take it if you want, bastard! I curse your eighteen generations of ancestors!”

She roared at the man in black!

The corners of the man in black’s mouth twitched incessantly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.

Then, he threw a jade bottle from his arms: “Inside are pills that can heal internal and external injuries. Give them to him quickly, and maybe he could survive.”

After saying that, he threw the jade bottle towards Liu Sisi.

“Who wants your jade bottle? You think your kindness will work on me? Get lost!”

Liu Sisi picked up the jade bottle and flung it in his direction with all her might. The jade bottle, in a parabolic arc, soon crashed into the thick fog behind him.

“Quick! Hurry up! It seems the crying sound is coming from this side! Hurry!”

Above the cliff, there suddenly came a dense cluster of voices and footsteps, and numerous firelights flickered and swayed at the top of the cliff!

With this situation, Liu Sisi instinctively rejoiced! People were coming, they were saved!

“Help! We’re here! Help us! Help!” Liu Sisi called out at the top of her lungs, seeking rescue from the people above!

“Don’t… don’t hurt Sisi…”

Di Yelei’s tottering body, relying completely on his last ounce of willpower to endure. Eventually, his body slid down along the cliff and fell unconscious again.

“Today is your lucky day! I have important things to handle and won’t have the pleasure to accompany you!”

The man in black’s face also looked bad. He grabbed the rope, swung himself up, and quickly disappeared from Liu Sisi’s sight.

“Ye Lei! Ye Lei, how are you? Are you okay?”

After a frightful and exhausting night, Liu Sisi could no longer bear it. She sobbed and fell into Di Yelei’s arms.

“Ye Lei! Wailing…”

Di Yelei’s pale face has his eyes tightly closed, and he has long stopped moving.

“Ye Lei, don’t be afraid! Someone’s coming! Someone’s coming to save us, hold on, Ye Lei!”

Unexpectedly, the rescuers turned out to be the night watchmen monks from the Goddess of Mercy’s temple.

As it turned out, the night patrol monks had discovered the dead men in black on the mountain path and the damaged wooden door, and immediately realized that something had happened. They rushed to the scene, and luckily, managed to save the two.

After much effort, Di Yelei was finally rescued from the bottom of the cliff.

Not long after everyone left, a shadow fell on the large rocks atop the cliff again.

He carefully searched the entire area for a moment, bending down to pick up a hairpin from the ground. Clutching it tightly in his palm, he remained motionless for a long time.

“Sisi…”

His voice sounded desolate as the wind rustled his clothes and tangled his long hair, stirring his injured heart.

Gently raising his hand, he removed a human skin mask from his face. After taking a glance at it and the judge’s mask, he threw them both to the bottom of the cliff. He then rose and shot out into the dense forest, disappearing from sight in several leaps and bounds.

The sky gradually brightened!

Liu Sisi leaned against the outside of the wing courtyard, her eyes red and swollen, remaining motionless in her original position.

She wore only her inner garment, stained with dried, dark red blood. Di Yelei’s blood had turned her linen-white garment into a floral pattern.

Di Yelei’s injuries were severe, and he had hardly woken up during the rescue. His body was practically soaked in blood.

“Third Brother! Third Brother! How’s my Third Brother? Ah! Third Brother, third…”

Outside, Di Ruoning rushed into the wing with Yuan Mengbai’s help, stumbling and crawling. As soon as she saw Liu Sisi, she charged towards her.

“Why? Why did this happen to my Third Brother? It’s all because of you! It’s all because of you–this misfortune should befall you, not him. You killed my Third Brother, and I’m going to fight you to the death!”

She screamed and lunged at Liu Sisi.

“Ruoning! What nonsense are you talking about? Have you gone mad?”

Next to her, Yuan Mengbai scolded her anxiously.

With a vacant look, Liu Sisi finally raised her head, staring angrily at Di Ruoning with unblinking eyes.

Suddenly, she stood up, raised her arm, and fiercely slapped Di Ruoning’s cheek!

Slap!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed.

Di Ruoning stared in astonishment, her eyes wide as she covered her face, disbelief written all over her.

“You, you wretched woman, how dare you hit me?”

“That’s right, I’m hitting you! This is for your Third Brother, a slap on your face from him!”

Liu Sisi’s hoarse voice was almost inaudible: “Your Third Brother valued you more than his own life since you were kids! Di Ruoning, how can you treat him like this? Did he kill your entire family or bring calamity to you? Is what you’re doing right by him? Where’s your conscience? Has it been eaten by dogs?”

Liu Sisi sternly questioned her! Furious and roaring!

“You have no right to call him brother! He doesn’t need a sister like you who would kill her own Third Brother! Get away, just get away!”

Her enraged shout immediately attracted the attention of many onlookers, who looked at Di Ruoning and whispered amongst themselves.
