Feeling the intense pain in their bodies and hearing their hearts beating in their chests, and realizing that they were still alive, many people couldn't help but shed tears.
Xi Jia looked at He Xi, his face full of guilt. A grown man with red eyes from crying, "Miss, I'm sorry. It's our fault. We failed to protect Nanny Chen and Xiao Li."
Thinking of Nanny Chen who had long passed away, a flash of sadness appeared in He Xi's eyes.
She seemed to still hear Nanny Chen's caring nagging and instructions in her ears, but she had lost all this warmth forever.
He Xi took a deep breath, hiding the sadness on his face, and said softly: "You have done very well. For me, as long as you can survive, you have done well enough."
After He Xi said this, Xi Jia and other grown men who had been trying hard to hold back their tears finally couldn't help but covered their faces and sobbed.
They were originally just slaves locked in cages and sold, their lives being trampled and humiliated.
It was the young lady who gave them a brand new life, allowed them to practice, made them strong, and allowed them to live a more comfortable life than ordinary warriors.
The young lady has given them so much, but they have never done anything for her. Now they can't even protect this small villa, Nanny Chen and Xiaoli. Useless people like them deserve to die.
However, instead of scolding them, the young lady tried her best to treat them, pulled them back from the abyss of death, and said that as long as they were alive, everything was fine.
Such a great favor, such trust, cannot be repaid even if one were to be broken into pieces, but it would not be too much to repay it even if one spends lifetimes to do so.
Seeing a group of big men crying like tearful people, He Xi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, stop crying for now. Tell me, who is so bold to attack here? Where is Xiaoli?"
Xi Jia said quickly: "We don't know who attacked here, but they kept asking us to hand over Xi Yue and Xi Divine Doctor. Miss Xiaoli has been protecting Nanny Chen. We wanted to let Nanny Chen and Xiaoli leave first, but we are not as skilled as them..."
Before Xi Jia finished speaking, Zhang San's weak voice came from beside him, "Miss, I heard who took Xiao Li away. They also said they would leave a note in the main hall, asking you to use some special skills to redeem her."
Xi Jia and the others were badly injured, but they were able to survive against all odds and wait for He Xi to rescue them. This was because He Xi had given them pills that strengthened their bodies, so they were able to retain a glimmer of hope.
Almost all the other people in the villa died, and the only one who survived was Zhang San.
Zhang San was always alert. After being attacked, he grabbed two corpses and covered himself with them, pretending to be dead. This way he avoided a fatal blow. He also eavesdropped on the conversation of the group of people.
Zhang San paused, and with a pale face, he coughed several times before saying, "Miss, you must not go to the place they mentioned. I heard from them that they have set a trap and are waiting for you to fall into it. And..."
"And among those people, there are a few who look very familiar to me. I just... just remembered who they are."
He Xi said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
She also wanted to know who was tired of living and wanted to go to hell.
Zhang San coughed twice again, and the hesitation in his eyes turned into certainty, "It's the people from Jishengtang, yes, it's the people from Jishengtang. Especially the young man carrying the iron rod, I know him, he is the nephew of the shopkeeper Qin of Jishengtang!" (To be continued)
