Chapter 103 Taking advantage of the chaos to make a move

In a flash, the leading refugee was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, turning his head sharply. The hairpin just grazed his cheek, avoiding a fatal blow, leaving only a bloody mark on his face.

After the mishap, Jiang Yutang felt a wave of fear. Her hand, which was holding the hairpin, was slightly sweaty. She suppressed her panic and shouted, "Don't come any closer! My family is already here. If you leave now, I'll pretend that nothing happened today!"

The man, his face slashed, was utterly enraged. He wiped the blood from his face and let out a vicious curse.

"Kill her! Today, this little wench will pay the price!"

They were convinced that Jiang Yutang was bluffing. Who would come to the back of this secluded outhouse in the middle of the night?

The man in the lead had a fierce look in his eyes, and the refugees immediately pressed closer.

Jiang Yutang could only retreat step by step, her heart pounding as if it would burst out of her chest. Her eyes were fixed on the approaching thug, her mind filled with thoughts of stalling for time.

The thug gathered his strength in his feet, then suddenly pushed off, pouncing on Jiang Yutang like a drooling, hungry wolf.

Just as the man was about to pounce on her, Jiang Yutang was about to throw out the hidden pebble when a figure suddenly darted out from behind her.

Jiang Huaiyu was like a whirlwind, kicking the man hard in the chest!

With a muffled thud, the man flew several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop. He looked exactly like a wrecked car tire, unable to get up again.

Jiang Yutang stared in disbelief at the scene, blinking before she could make out the figure blocking her way.

Jiang Huaiyu's hair was disheveled from his movements, with stray strands sticking to his forehead. His back was upright and dashing, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, like a savior descending from the heavens.

In an instant, all of Jiang Yutang's fear vanished, leaving only excitement and admiration. Her cheeks flushed red as she shouted loudly at the figure.

"Third Brother!" The voice, cracking with excitement, was filled with pride.

This is her third brother, who always protects her in times of crisis!

Seeing this, the other refugees turned pale with fright and dared not go forward. They turned around and ran into the woods.

"Trying to run?"

Jiang Huaiyu gave a cold shout, and without stopping, he quickly leaped over, caught up with the two in front, and with two swift kicks, put them to the ground.

The man who had been kicked into a "tire" shape spat out the dirt in his mouth, endured the pain as he got up, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Jiang Huaiyu and roared at the fleeing men.

"Why are you running! He's all alone, how can he possibly take on so many of us? Come back and fight him!"

Upon hearing this, the refugees paused, then belatedly forced fierce expressions onto their faces, huddled together opposite Jiang Huaiyu, and glared menacingly at her.

"Third Brother!" Jiang Yutang couldn't help but feel worried.

Jiang Huaiyu gently raised his hand, signaling her not to be afraid, a hint of arrogance playing on his lips: "These little punks are nothing to me. Today I'll show you what Third Brother is all about!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he moved, charging towards the group of refugees. His fist flew out with a gust of wind, instantly knocking down the one in front.

"Wow--!"

Jiang Yutang immediately transformed into a little fangirl, standing on tiptoe and cheering, "Third Brother! Beat them up! Left! Right! Great!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and the escorts and yamen runners arrived with a group of people, followed by many refugees and displaced people who had come to watch the spectacle.

"Stop! Stop it, all of you!"

Jiang Yutang immediately stepped forward and explained, "Brothers, they started it! They even tried to harass a woman!"

Upon hearing this, the county yamen runners' faces darkened, and they shouted at the refugees, "How dare you! Get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

But to his surprise, the refugees were so united. Instead of retreating, they banded together and charged at the escorting officers and the arriving constables, shouting, "Why are you only chasing us! They've attacked us too!"

Instantly, the two sides started fighting, punching and kicking, shouting and cursing all mixed together, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

Cheng Daier grabbed Jiang Yutang and said urgently, "Don't meddle here, or you'll get caught in the crossfire!"

After saying that, he turned to Cheng Lanzhou and asked, "Do you want to go and help?"

Cheng Lanzhou frowned, his gaze fixed on the fighting crowd, and spoke rapidly: "Those people are strange!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a shrill scream suddenly erupted from the chaotic crowd, and blood splattered out.

The three escorts and constables stood frozen in place, exchanging incredulous glances. They hurriedly raised their swords, which were clean and bloodless, to prove that they hadn't done it.

The incident caused an uproar, and the crowd erupted into chaos. People scattered in all directions, and cries and curses filled the air.

"What happened?" Cheng Daier asked, her voice filled with anxiety as she looked at the fleeing refugees.

Cheng Lanzhou said in a deep voice, then turned to the two men and said urgently, "Someone has infiltrated! Let's go!"

Cheng Dai'er immediately realized what was happening and, without saying a word, grabbed Jiang Yutang and ran towards the camp.

Jiang Yutang couldn't help but turn around and saw Jiang Huaiyu still punching and kicking in the crowd amidst the chaos. His heart tightened, and he shouted, "Third Brother!"

Halfway there, they ran into their family members who had come looking for them after hearing the noise.

The three older brothers rushed up, and Jiang Songzhi hurriedly asked, "Why is it so noisy over there?"

Jiang Yutang spoke rapidly with a nervous expression, waving her hand and pointing in that direction: "Someone infiltrated the refugee group and caused trouble; a fight broke out and blood was drawn!"

Everyone's expression changed simultaneously.

Jiang Songzhi made a quick decision: "You all stay where you are, I'll go help!"

"I'll go too!" Jiang Jiuzhe immediately agreed, and the two rushed into the chaos.

Cheng Dai'er watched their retreating figures and stamped her foot in frustration: "Too reckless! What if someone attacks us from behind now? We're all alone here, wouldn't we be falling into someone's trap?"

Jiang Yutang complained to Cheng Daier with a bitter face, "Auntie, please stop talking. Don't let the bad things come true instead of the good ones..."

She was filled with anxiety. Of the few people left here, apart from Cheng Daier, none of the others were capable of fighting, and Jiang Sumin couldn't be relied on.

The crowd dispersed in all directions, with many displaced people and refugees running towards this area.

Jiang Yutang lowered her voice and warned, "Be careful, the enemy might be mixed in with them."

She quickly pulled out a stun gun from her bundle, stood in front of her family, and Mu Shi hid Xiaoxiao in her arms, her face showing both fear and exhaustion.

With tears in her eyes, Zhu Shi supported Yun Shi with trembling hands as the two stood beside Jiang Sheng'an.

Cheng Dai'er stood protectively beside Lin, keeping a watchful eye on the refugees darting around them.

"Help...help me..."

Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a woman, half of her body covered in blood, staggering towards them.

Jiang Sumin immediately stepped forward to check on him and asked with concern, "Where are you hurt?"

Unexpectedly, a fierce glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and she suddenly pulled out a dagger from behind her and stabbed it straight at Jiang Sumin's heart!

"Watch out!" Yun cried out in alarm.

Jiang Sumin reacted extremely quickly, raising his hand to firmly grasp the woman's wrist holding the dagger. But the woman's strength was astonishing; she was clearly a trained fighter, and the dagger continued to approach his face.
