I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Chapter 385: I'm sure everything will be alright.

The moment Fang Xiaoxiao was discovered by the bandit leader, his lecherous eyes lit up instantly, like a hungry wolf seeing a plump lamb.

His gaze roamed freely over Fang Xiaoxiao, a wicked smile spreading across his face, revealing a set of uneven, yellow teeth.

"Oh ho ho, this young lady is truly as beautiful as a flower." The bandit leader chuckled, his voice filled with lewdness and greed.

Fang Xiaoxin's head suddenly tightened, and a chill rose up her spine.

But she knew she couldn't fight head-on at this moment; she had to find a way to deal with the situation.

So she quickly adjusted her expression and put on a weak and pitiful look.

Her eyes instantly filled with fear and helplessness, like a frightened fawn. Tears welled in her eyes, and her voice trembled like a leaf in the wind: "Please, let me go."

Seeing this, the bandit leader became even more smug.

He puffed out his chest and swaggered towards Fang Xiaoxiao, saying in a vulgar way, "Little lady, follow me, and I'll make sure you enjoy endless wealth and luxury, and live a life of luxury."

Fang Xiaoxiao retreated weakly, her steps unsteady, as if she might fall at any moment.

Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her voice trembling with tears as she pleaded, "No, don't come any closer." But in her heart, she was plotting how to retaliate.

The bandit leader thought Fang Xiaoxiao was truly terrified of him and completely let his guard down.

He couldn't wait to reach out his rough, large hand and grab Fang Xiaoxiao's arm.

Just as his hand was about to touch Fang Xiaoxiao, a resolute and ruthless glint flashed in Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes.

She swiftly struck, seizing the bandit leader's wrist with lightning speed.

The bandit leader was startled, then felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

"Ah! You wretched woman, how dare you trick me!" the bandit leader roared in fury, his face turning bright red.

By this time, the commotion outside had already attracted the attention of the other robbers.

They were all armed and rushing towards this place. Their footsteps sounded particularly heavy and chaotic in the quiet night.

Fang Xiaoxiao tightly gripped the bandit leader, holding him in front of her as a hostage. Her gaze was firm and sharp as she confronted the approaching bandits.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!" Fang Xiaoxiao shouted, her voice filled with determination.

The bandits exchanged glances, hesitant to make a move. Their faces showed hesitation and worry.

Just as the stalemate was at hand, Pei Yan arrived with the villagers.

"Xiao Xiao, we're here!" Pei Yan shouted, his eyes filled with concern and anxiety.

As the situation became increasingly unfavorable, the robbers began to panic.

Night fell as dark as ink, thickly enveloping Majia Village.

A cold wind howled through the dilapidated houses, chilling people to the bone.

The tense standoff between Fang Xiaoxiao and the bandit leader made the air of the night seem to freeze.

Just as tensions were about to rise, Pei Yan led his troops in like a whirlwind.

The sounds of horses' hooves and footsteps mingled together, breaking the deathly silence.

The bandits panicked instantly. Their once arrogant leader turned pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

His eyes were filled with fear and despair. His legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, pleading in a trembling voice, "My lord, spare us! My lord, spare us! We really had no other choice..."

Looking at the bandit leader who had suddenly changed his attitude, Fang Xiaoxiao's anger subsided slightly.

A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and the hand gripping the weapon gradually loosened.

However, no one expected that this seemingly submissive bandit leader actually harbored malicious intentions.

The moment Fang Xiaoxiao let go, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. He suddenly pulled out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed at Fang Xiaoxiao with incredible speed.

"Watch out!" Pei Yan shouted in alarm.

He rushed over like lightning, spreading his arms without hesitation and using his body to shield Fang Xiaoxiao.

The dagger mercilessly pierced Pei Yan's chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining his clothes red.

Pei Yan's face turned deathly pale instantly. His body swayed a few times, but he still held tightly to the bandit leader's wrist.

"Pei Yan!" Fang Xiaoxiao let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Her eyes widened in shock and rage. For a moment, time seemed to stand still; her world consisted only of Pei Yan's wounded body.

Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly blazed with fury. With astonishing speed, she snatched the dagger from the bandit leader's hand, and with a swift stroke, the bandit leader fell to the ground dead before he could even utter a sound.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't care about anything else; her mind and eyes were filled with the injured Pei Yan.

She quickly supported the swaying Pei Yan, her voice trembling as she said, "Pei Yan, hold on, you must hold on!"

Pei Yan's eyes began to glaze over. He smiled weakly, as if he wanted to say something, but could only manage a faint breath.

Fang Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated and decided to take Pei Yan back to Dianchi County for treatment.

She carefully helped Pei Yan onto a horse, then mounted herself, holding him tightly as they galloped away.

Fang Xiao was extremely anxious the whole way. Her eyes were fixed on the road ahead, wishing she could fly to Dianchi County in an instant.

Pei Yan's breath grew weaker and weaker in her arms, and Fang Xiaoxiao's tears kept falling, hitting Pei Yan's face.

"Pei Yan, you'll be alright, you'll definitely be alright."

Fang Xiaoxiao muttered to herself as she kept whipping the horse, urging it to go faster.

Finally, they arrived at Dianchi County.

We arrived at Fang Family Medical Clinic.

At that moment, Fang Rourou happened to be treating someone.

Since the Li Family Clinic was shut down, everyone in Dianchi County knows how powerful the Fang Family Clinic is. Many people come here for treatment, consciously or unconsciously, just to see Fang Rourou now that her facial ailment has been removed.

As if sensing something, Fang Rourou unconsciously looked up into the noisy crowd and saw a woman in white with a sorrowful face leading a man in blue off a tall horse.

The newcomers were none other than Fang Xiaoxiao and the seriously injured Pei Yan.

Fang Rourou quickly got up, her face showing extreme nervousness.

She didn't know what had happened, but seeing Pei Yan like that, her eyes instantly turned red.

When Fang Xiaoxiao bypassed the crowd and brought Pei Yan to Fang Rourou, Fang Rourou seemed to have lost her soul, standing there blankly without moving.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoxiao didn't care about these things.

She first placed Pei Yan on a wooden bed, and then took out three silver needles from her hair bun.

She swiftly inserted the silver needle into Pei Yan's injured heart.

"Fortunately, the injury was about half an inch away from the heart, otherwise even a miracle couldn't have saved him."

She muttered a few complaints to herself, and then began to treat Pei Yanlai.
