Chapter 73 Life and Death
After listening to her brief explanation, Xu Yin didn't know whether to say that the girl was unlucky or to marvel at her good luck.

Even with a one in ten thousand chance, she managed to hit it head-on.

Meanwhile, the disappointment that rose in my heart gradually turned into despair as time went by.

Without rescue, Comrade Qu, her husband, and the unfortunate girl in front of them would all die from lack of medical treatment.

Xu Yin knew that the two people outside wouldn't care about the lives of the three people. As long as either she or her husband was alive, all the secrets they wanted to know would remain. But…

Having only drunk rice porridge for several days, she was so weak that she couldn't even threaten suicide. Just now, she used all her strength to do something as simple as lifting her hand to remove the spider web and stop the bleeding for the girl.

What should be done to save the lives of these three people before rescue arrives?
Lost in her own thoughts, Xu Yin didn't notice that after the worried girl turned her hand from the back of her head to her face, she hadn't lowered it.

After learning the identities of Xu Yin and her husband and the person lying down, the ever-smart Su Ning had already pieced together the whole story and even guessed most of it.

She secretly complained for a while that ever since the drowning incident, she had the potential to become a troublemaker, but since things had come to this, she still had to try to solve the problem.

I trust the national government, and I trust the local officials and the police, but I still have to try to save myself before they come here.

After all, for the two outsiders, apart from the most important couple, Xu Yin and her husband, the lives of her and that Comrade Qu were not important, and they would never hesitate to act if necessary.

Relying entirely on willpower to endure the dizziness and the stabbing pain in her head, she used her mental energy to slowly smuggle spring water from the Peach Blossom Spring space into her mouth.

Although she knew that applying spring water directly to the back of her head would help the injury heal faster and better, Xu Yin already knew the extent of her injury, and to avoid further trouble, she could only choose a slower method.

She only stopped moving and removed her hand from her mouth when the weakness and exhaustion caused by blood loss completely disappeared and the familiar tingling sensation returned to her wound.

"How are you feeling, little girl?"

"Much better, but still a little dizzy."

"It seems the old folk remedies passed down from the elders are quite effective."

Seeing that she could sit steadily for so long and that the wound seemed to have stopped bleeding, Xu Yin knew that the spider web ash was indeed effective in stopping the bleeding, and her tense heart relaxed a little.

The girl looks so young, what if I just watch her die right before my eyes...

"Girl..."

"Professor Xu, you can just call me Ningning."

"Okay, Ningning, come here and let me take a good look at your injury again."

He slowly sat down in front of her and saw that Xu Yin tried several times before she was able to lift her limp hand.

While she was looking at her wound, Su Ning rummaged through her spatial storage and found the chocolates and candies she had bought at the Friendship Store.

Quickly open the box and remove all the loose chocolates from the hidden pocket inside your clothes.

The bag I'm carrying isn't very big and can only hold a limited amount of things.

Besides the money and tickets that were taken away, there were only a few certificates left. Stuffing in seven or eight chocolates and a handful of hard candies would fill the space, and it wouldn't be suitable anyway.

"The blood has clotted, and the wound has stopped bleeding..."

"Professor Xu, please."

Before she could finish speaking, she was shoved into her hand by something round and plump. Xu Yin leaned closer and smelled it; it had a rich, sweet aroma. "How could this be?"

"I hid it in a hidden pocket of my clothes, not in my bag."

Considering the urgency on that woman's face when she was thrown in, as if she was busy doing something, it's normal that she wasn't thoroughly searched.
He shook his head. In any case, having something high in sugar to replenish the body's energy under these circumstances is a very good thing. As for other things, are they that important?

Xu Yin whispered a thank you, but then turned to give the candy in her hand to her dying husband.

Even though this piece of candy could only increase her chances of survival in the current situation, she didn't hesitate at all.

"Professor Xu, I have a few more here, please eat them first. I'll feed Professor Gu and Comrade Qu."

"Thank you, Ning girl, thank goodness..."

bah bah bah!
This sounds as if she's glad she fell into a tiger's den, but that's the truth.

Without these few candies, which could be considered life-saving, Lao Gu and Comrade Qu's physical condition would have been even worse. Now that they can replenish their energy, they can hold on for longer, and maybe they will be able to wait for rescue.

Su Ning didn't try to guess what she was thinking; instead, she was busy using her mental power to control the chocolate soaking in the spring water within the space.

When he felt it was about time, he took it out and swapped it with the candy in his pocket, then stuffed it directly into the mouths of the two unconscious people.

To prevent the two from getting stuck without realizing it, she carefully mashed the chocolate, which had been softened by the spring water, into a fine paste.

Only after the two of them swallowed slowly, their mouths watering, did Su Ning, who had been watching intently, finally relax. Before she could say anything more, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside, making a loud banging sound.

Tong Tai was nowhere to be found; instead, Hua Qiao entered, her face full of displeasure and her eyes blazing with anger.

Seeing the little girl still able to sit up and not die, he couldn't help but sneer, "She's got a really lucky life, but... huh~"

"Xu Yin, come with me!"

"Where are you taking me? I've said I won't do anything, I won't say anything, and I won't choose anything. If something happens to my husband, I won't be alone..."

Shut up! Stop babbling!

Did she think she was that perverted Tong Tai? Why would she have the time to agonize over who lives and who dies between the couple?

A clean and swift chop to the back of her neck. Hua Qiao impatiently half-dragged the girl up and turned to look at the wide-eyed girl whose face was still filled with shock.

"Let's see if you can beg the King of Hell to spare your life this time!"

With one hand supporting the unconscious Xu Yin, he reached for her waist with the other, following her words.

bang bang bang
My heart was pounding; it was another moment of facing life and death.

Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, the surge of adrenaline actually made her calmer.

Those eyes were calm and serene to the point of being frightening.

"You've got some nerve... What...?"

"Pfft~"

The moment she raised her hand to tap, Su Ning, who had been hiding behind his back, suddenly threw her towards him.

It flashed by with a hint of cold light.

Hua Qiao looked down at the Swiss Army knife in her chest. As she fell, she was still thinking: She had searched her entire body. Where did the knife come from? Could it just appear out of thin air?

"Huff...huff huff...huff..."

She was waiting for this one opportunity, and it was her only chance.

Su Ning, panting heavily and trying to breathe in the fresh air, started to tremble slightly at her fingertips and then her whole body began to shake uncontrollably.

It was as if all the blood in her body rushed to her brain. The moment the knife was thrown, her vision went blank. Only when she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground did she suddenly remember that she had forgotten to breathe.

Struggling to steady his trembling body and constantly working on his mental defenses, Su Ning managed to close his eyes and then open them again, having regained his composure.

He quickly stepped forward to check and found that the knife had struck the woman's chest, not her heart, but it seemed to have injured her lungs. She was breathing heavily with difficulty, and a stream of blood gushed from the corner of her mouth as she opened and closed her lips.

It was a lucky accident; if the knife had been a fraction off, it would have only injured his arm. Now, lying on the ground, looking back on his deathbed, he would be the one who has passed away!

Without hesitation, he gripped the hilt of the knife and pulled it out forcefully, splattering hot, bloody splatter all over his face.

Before she could make a further move, her hand holding the knife hilt was gripped tightly.

"Professor Xu?"

"Ningning, don't let her dirty your hands. If anyone should come, it should be me..."

“What are you thinking? I just wanted to bandage her up and then tie her up.”

Seeing her nod noncommittally but not loosen her grip at all, Su Ning's lips twitched involuntarily: She really didn't intend to finish her off.

"It was me. I wanted her dead. She's the one who caused my old man's fate to be unknown..."

Well, it seems like there's no way to clear my name now, even if I jump into the Yellow River.

With a mix of amusement and exasperation, he could only loosen his grip on the knife first. "Professor Xu, let me stop the bleeding first and then tie him up. We don't know what Tong Tai is up to yet, so we need to hurry!"

"Oh, okay, okay."

Xu Yin, who usually doesn't even dare to look at chickens being slaughtered, was either too strong in her will to survive and was trying to stay awake while her mind was still foggy, or she was experiencing some dizziness after seeing blood.

It wasn't until she reminded him that he realized this wasn't the time to finish off the woman, but rather to seize the opportunity to call for help!

“Ningning, listen to me, Lao Gu and Comrade Qu are unconscious. We can’t move them at all, and I haven’t recovered much strength, so I’m afraid I can’t run far.”

"Only you can escape now. Only if you are safe and find people can we be saved!"
