Chapter 301: Saving the Grandparents
Chapter 301: Saving the Grandparents
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze didn't join the large group entering the mountains. They found a deserted area and entered. This time, they didn't advance step by step. They held hands and moved forward quickly. They didn't know how many monks had entered before them. They couldn't let them capture the dragon. For the sake of the little dragon, they should save it too.
Finally, the two of them stopped walking through the woods. They used the water-repellent beads to go down into the water and move through it. Soon, they passed through the cracks and came to a very wide area. The lake water was very clear and bright. They could see many fish in it, but they couldn't name them.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze quickly controlled the water-repellent beads to move. They didn't know if the dragons lived here, nor did they know where to look, so they just walked along the lake. Dragons generally like water, and they might not live in water, because they might have transformed into humans and lived in houses.
Qiqi and the others controlled the water-repellent beads to move forward, observing the surrounding environment to see if there were any people living there or if there were any dragons.
They saw that there was no movement in the lake. Qiqi saw a lot of big fish, so she collected the fish into the lake in the space. This time she wanted to collect more fish in the lake. This was a gift from nature, unlike the modern seas and lakes that are full of pollution and people dare not eat fish and shrimps.
She raised the fish in the lake in the space and would give them a feast when she returned to Lingxiao Sect.
Zhou Jingze saw a place where crops were grown and what looked like houses. "Qiqi, look, there's a house. Let's go take a look."
Qiqi came to the water's edge, collected the water-repellent beads, and they went ashore. Soon they arrived at the vicinity of the house.
They heard crying and commotion in the house. "My grandma is sick, so don't force her. We just moved here and don't know what dragon clan you're talking about. We're just trying to avoid debt collectors. My father lost everything gambling, and my mother ran away. If she hadn't run away, she would have been sold by my father. If she had been caught by the debt collectors, she wouldn't have had a good ending."
"My grandma brought me here overnight. We just settled down here, and we really don't know anything about the dragon clan. "Don't hit my grandma. Hit me if you want to! Grandma is old, you'll beat her to death." "Wuwuwu." A child's cry was heard.
An old woman lay on the ground, and a slanted-eyed man in sect clothes was kicking her. She said nothing, afraid to scare her grandson, and blood was flowing from her mouth.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze walked to a deserted area and entered the space. Qiqi dressed himself up as a man, adding a beard, while Zhou Jingze added a full beard. They were now two large men. Seeing no one outside, they quickly left the space.
"Stop! Why are you beating an old woman? What do an old woman and a child know? If you have the guts, go find it yourself! Is it any use asking them? And you beat the old woman like this! Are you still human?" Qiqi shouted.
Several people looked at Qiqi and the others. The slanted-eyed man who was beating them also stopped. "Who are you to mind our business?"
Qiqi took out a pill and put it in the old woman's mouth. She swallowed it without hesitation, and afterward, she felt the pain go away. She looked at them gratefully. Qiqi helped the old woman up and helped her sit on the bed. The little boy also ran to his grandmother's side.
"Grandma, are you in pain?"
"Grandma, it doesn't hurt. Grandma is fine."
Seeing that the two of them were silent and still caring for the elderly, he said, "You two, get out of here right now and don't meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, we will be rude to you."
Qiqi went up and kicked him, sending him flying. He hit a tree, breaking it. The slant-eyed man spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The others were stunned. They hadn't expected Qiqi to attack them immediately. They rushed forward. Before they could even begin to move, Zhou Jingze sent them flying with a few punches and kicks. Some lost teeth, some had broken arms, and some had broken legs. Seeing they couldn't defeat them, they supported each other and fled.
"Thank you for saving us, the two of us. You are in trouble. Leave quickly. They will come back for revenge." said the old man.
"Old man, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Qiqi asked.
"Thank you, you gave me the pill and I feel much better. You guys should leave quickly! My grandson and I are at risk of our lives! We can't escape these people's pursuit. You are outsiders, and they won't be able to find you once you leave." said the old man.
"Old man, come with us. We will take you to a safe place." Zhou Jingze said.
"No, we can't implicate you anymore. Those people are obviously not good people. They asked us if we had seen anyone from the Dragon Clan. We just arrived here not long ago and didn't see anyone. It's just the two of us, grandparents and grandchildren." said the old man.
"Old man, they should be the people who are tracking down the whereabouts of the dragon clan. When they saw you two, grandparents and grandchildren, in this rarely visited place, they thought you knew the whereabouts of the dragon clan, so they interrogated you. They will come back. Since you think they are not good people, just come with us. If they come again, it will not be as simple as beating people up. They will kill people after suffering a great loss. Can you watch your little grandson go to die? Please pack up your things and come with us." Qiqi advised.
"Okay, we'll go with you." The old man packed up some clothes for his grandson and himself, as well as some food, and put them in a bundle. Then he followed Qiqi and the others into the mountains.
Zhou Jingze held the little boy. The boy looked about three years old and was very cute. He was two years younger than the other two babies.
The little boy kissed Zhou Jingze twice on the face and thanked them for saving his life in a very sensible way.
They had just walked five miles when they saw the old man's house on fire. The old man clenched his fists. These people were going too far. He would take revenge sooner or later.
"Grandma, our house burned down. We have no home anymore." The little boy began to cry.
"The house is gone, we will rebuild it later. It's okay, don't cry. Let's go quickly! I'm afraid they will catch up and get you into trouble." The old man said to Qiqi.
"Qiqi, you lead them forward first. I will set up a formation here to prevent them from catching up with us."
"Okay, Brother Jingze, you have to be careful. This is the spirit stone, use it to set up the formation. Old man, let's go quickly." Qiqi carried the little boy and the old man on his back and quickened his pace.
Zhou Jingze set up a bewilderment array on the road, and sprinkled some strong muscle softening powder in the array to slow them down. He set up two arrays in succession and then went after them.
Zhou Jingze quickly caught up. He took the little boy off Qiqi's back and carried him on his back.
