Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"No, I won't leave!" Wu Yue gritted her teeth, "I can't abandon my brother like this!"

A voice came from outside the courtyard wall: "They are almost at the entrance of the village, hurry up! The ox cart is ready!"

"Mr. Zhao, please take Miss Wu Yue away quickly!" Several young men turned to Qin Zhaoyue.

They all like Wu Yue, and even if she will most likely be married to Zhao Qingyue if she leaves, they don't want Wu Yue to fall into the hands of the old man.

At least Qin Zhaoyue looks like a gentleman.

Qin Zhaoyue was very calm.

He was not suspicious, but he would not rush to follow other people's decisions. But he was also unwilling to let Wu Yue really give up her life to Mr. Zhou in exchange for Wu Ye's life. Wu Ye might find a way to rescue her, but it would probably take several years for such a powerless person to do so.

It was not impossible to take Wu Yue away. Qin Zhaoyue also did not want to confront someone who could not distinguish friend from foe. He turned to look at Wu Yue and saw that the girl had calmed down.

Her eyes were still wet and red, but her expression was cold and tough. She turned to look at Qin Zhaoyue: "I won't leave. Zhao Qingyue, I know you have the ability to take me away by force, but I want to save my brother."

"How do you save her?" Qin Zhaoyue smiled. He felt that this girl was really special... just to his liking.

"Today's incident was that Mr. Zhou was trying to plot against me, so my brother must not have killed anyone." Wu Yue said, and she looked at Qin Zhaoyue steadily: "Mr. Zhao, the people are almost here. I know you don't want to cause trouble, but you didn't leave."

Qin Zhaoyue's smile faded.

"So, your solution is me?"

"Yes."

"What if I don't care?" Qin Zhaoyue asked her.

"You will take care of it." Wu Yue turned her head and no longer looked at him.

Too smart. Qin Zhaoyue now really believed that the brothers and sisters were descendants of a noble family in a southern city. How could such courage and wisdom be obtained casually?

"Where is that little bitch? Get out! Get out!"

There was a loud shouting outside. Some of the young men who came to report the news were blocking the door, while others were dragged out. Those who were blocking the door were quickly grabbed and pushed away by the servants brought by the intruders.

A group of people crowded into the yard.

They were all dressed in uniform servants' uniforms, and looked neat and tidy. The leader was a steward-like man wearing silk clothes. He walked into the yard behind the servants and saw Wu Yue standing tall. His eyes lit up immediately.

"Miss Wu Yue, I told you that we will meet again." The steward walked around the simple courtyard with a gleam in his eyes.

"Your brother killed someone in Mr. Zhou's family, and he should have paid with his life. But Mr. Zhou is kind-hearted and is willing to use you to save his life..."

"Can we report to the police?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

"...Who are you?" The manager then noticed that there was someone standing in the yard. The person neither came up to stop him nor made a sound, so he subconsciously ignored the person.

"If a matter involves human life, it must be resolved privately if it is not reported to the authorities." Qin Zhaoyue said calmly, "Could it be that the laws of Northern Qin were compiled by Mr. Zhou alone?"

"What does it have to do with you? Mr. Zhou and her brother have already agreed to settle the matter privately. Even if the county magistrate comes, they can't say anything!" the steward shouted.

"Where is the document?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

"W-what document?" the steward stuttered.

"You said her brother had agreed with Mr. Zhou to use her sister as collateral to beg for her life. Where is the document?" Qin Zhaoyue stepped forward, and her aura forced the steward to retreat repeatedly. "He wanted to kidnap a commoner girl without seeing the document. Mr. Zhou is really more powerful than the emperor."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The steward was so scared that his legs were shaking. Who would bring up the emperor for no reason?

"You just asked me who I was. Unfortunately, I am a distant relative of my brother and sister. I came from the capital city of Luoyang. If anything goes wrong with this person, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain when I go back." Qin Zhaoyue showed a cold smile.

Wu Yue remained silent.

The manager wanted to ask him to explain what had happened to him, but since he said he was from Luoyang, the capital, he had to think about it. What kind of place is the capital? A stone dropped could hit three people with official relatives. Even the lowest-ranking county magistrate was not easy for an ordinary landlord like Mr. Zhou to deal with.

The steward hesitated for a moment.

He was not brave enough to ask the servant to beat someone to death on the spot, otherwise he would have taken Wu Yue back home directly. Why would he have to create an incident of killing someone by medical treatment to make use of it?

"As far as I know, my brother and I fled here a year ago. Where did you come from, relative?" the steward asked, also to test the waters.

"You don't need to worry about where I came from. You just need to give me an explanation for what happened today." Qin Zhaoyue said.

The manager was silent again. Indeed, wouldn’t his excuses be the same whether he looked for relatives or not?

"How about this, I'm not an unreasonable person. You take Miss Wu Yue and I to Sushui County together. If this matter is found to be true, then it depends on the government's opinion. It's your business whether you settle it publicly or privately. I will have an explanation when I go back." Qin Zhaoyue suddenly smiled, looking easy to talk to.

"This..." The steward hesitated. Where did this person come from? If he rashly brought him back and implicated the master, he would not be in a good situation.

But that old man Mr. Zhou insisted on seeing Wu Yue today. There were not many opportunities to detain her brother. He could take the opportunity to give him a few beatings. Maybe Wu Yue would give in out of pity for her brother.

"Do you have a choice?" Qin Zhaoyue was very patient. He was not reluctant to say a few more words to this not-so-bright commoner.

"Go, go, go!" The steward waved his hand, "Hey - but I don't know you, it was you who shamelessly followed me!"

Qin Zhaoyue smiled and said nothing.

Wu Yue nodded to him and was the first to get on the carriage driven by the steward.

Qin Zhaoyue grabbed the most ferocious young man who had just guarded the gate of my house and whispered a few words to him. The young man nodded repeatedly, quickly got on the ox cart and followed.

The manager pretended not to see anything. He didn't dare to care about this man who looked so powerful.

Qin Zhaoyue and Wu Yue rode in the same carriage, shaking out of the village.

The two sat opposite each other and looked at each other for a long time.

Qin Zhaoyue laughed first.

Wu Yue turned her eyes away from him, but her cheeks were slightly red and she looked a little embarrassed.

The two of them didn't speak tacitly.

……

During the journey, we walked on a mountain road that was difficult for horse-drawn carriages to pass.

Their method of dealing with this section of mountain road was also very rough. A group of servants built a bridge in front to clear the way, and forcibly opened a road through the bushes and woods that could pass a carriage. Fortunately, Xiaoluo Mountain was gentle and there were no steep places, otherwise they would have to walk to Sushui County.

The ox cart followed far behind, and it was a bit difficult to move forward. Several young men dragged it and drove out of Xiaoluo Mountain along the secret path they took when they entered and exited.

There were huge fires and huge rocks mixed in with it.
