Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 246: One More Cruel than the Other
Carrying the backpack, Wei Jingyuan strode to catch up with Tao Qiuyi, but deliberately lagged behind her.

Looking at her slender figure, Wei Jingyuan thought for a while and finally said in a low voice, "Qiuqiu, I'm behind you."

"I know." Tao Qiuyi naturally knew that he was catching up, but she didn't understand why he was one step behind. After thinking for a moment, she stopped and waited for him to reach her side before walking side by side with him.

Wei Jingyuan's heart was filled with joy, a stark contrast to the wariness on his face. His sharp eyes stared around, his ears alert, not missing a single sound.

As they got closer, they both slowed down their pace tacitly, subtly competing with the person pretending to faint in their patience.

"Be careful." Wei Jingyuan reminded in a low voice.

"Yeah." Tao Qiuyi nodded, "You have to be careful too."

Just remind each other to be safe, nothing more to say. The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, there is human blood and wild boar blood, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi both felt that the battle should be resolved quickly, so no one went to check on the wild boar, and they focused on checking on the masked man as quickly as possible.

As a result, five of the masked men died, four fainted, and the four who fainted were injured to varying degrees. Only the man who shot Tao Qiuyi was uninjured, with a large bump on his forehead.

It was hit by an axe.

"Don't worry about the dead. Tie these three together and leave the remaining man to me." After the division of labor, Tao Qiuyi dragged the masked man who fired the cold gun to a tree and tied him to the tree in a few seconds.

After tying up the three unconscious people, Wei Jingyuan came to Tao Qiuyi and said in a deep voice, "Five are dead, four are unconscious, and the whereabouts of the other one are unknown."

"If that person goes back to get help, we have to pack up and leave here quickly."

"That man didn't go back to get help, so don't worry about him. I know where he is." After Tao Qiuyi said this, he kicked the masked man tied to the tree.

If she hadn't had something else to ask him, she wouldn't have bothered to tie him up alone. Seeing that the masked man didn't move, Tao Qiuyi frowned and kicked him again.

Still no response.

"Okay." She said, "Don't worry about it." Wei Jingyuan carefully examined the masked figure tied to the tree. His upper body and thighs were bound to the trunk by vines, his feet barely touching the ground.

My feet just touch the ground. Is there any significance to this?

Wei Jingyuan frowned and thought.

Was he completely unconscious, or was he just pretending? Tao Qiuyi thought about it and decided it was the latter. "As the saying goes, don't try to wake someone who's pretending to be asleep, but I refuse to believe that today."

After saying that, Tao Qiuyi's eyes darkened, and he chopped at the masked man's feet with the axe in his hand...

"What's wrong?" Her hand was intercepted halfway. Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan in confusion as he held her arm and prevented the axe from falling.

Taking the axe from her hand, Wei Jingyuan said gently, "Let me do it. Don't dirty your hands."

If he wants to come, let him come. Tao Qiuyi doesn't care whether his hands get dirty or not.

Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow, thinking that Wei Jingyuan had said he was coming to continue chopping the masked man's feet with the axe. She was wrong, as he put the axe back into his backpack.

He picked up a wooden stick from the ground and struck the masked man on the calf with his backhand. The force was so great that the sound of bones breaking rang out, accompanied by the masked man's screams.

"Ah..." The masked man opened his eyes in pain and stared at the man and woman standing in front of him.

One is strange, the other is familiar.

He pretended to be unconscious, thinking he could fool the woman, but she actually tried to chop off his legs. He was terrified and was thinking about whether to open his eyes to stop her when the man next to him stopped her.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, his shin bone was broken by the man, and he screamed in pain.

"You...you are the woman just now." The masked man's pupils trembled violently. When this woman appeared, he thought she was a village girl from a nearby village.

He even grabbed her to threaten the boy, and the boy actually fell for it and ran out to protect the woman. When the wild boars rushed over, both the woman and the boy disappeared.

Could the arrival of the wild boars be related to them? Just as he thought this, the masked man realized he was overthinking it.

Those were wild boars, the kind their captain wouldn't dare lead his men to hunt. No matter how powerful this man and woman were, they couldn't possibly influence the herd's movements.

"I just realized that you are a little slow in reaction." Tao Qiuyi smiled jokingly.

The masked man looked at the smile on her face and felt that it was not a smile, but a death warrant. At this moment, she was completely different from the woman with terrified eyes and pale face before.

"Ah..." As the masked man was stunned, he was hit again on his calf, which had been broken. The pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and he wanted to kill people, kill the two people in front of him.

Only then did he realize that neither the man nor the woman before him were good people. Each was more ruthless than the other, and the man was even more ruthless than the woman.

Gritting his teeth to hold back the pain in his calf, the masked man took another deep breath. In his calmest voice, he asked, "You two... I have no grudges against you in the past, nor any hatred in the present."

"Why bother hitting me right away... break my shin bones? Look, I'm wearing a military uniform."

"We are soldiers, soldiers defending our country, and we are...ah..."

Before the masked man could finish his indignant words, the shin bone of his other leg was ruthlessly broken.

His face was twisted in pain, and he gritted his teeth and glared at the man who broke his bones. He also wanted to use his military status to get close to these two people.

Now it seems that it is not possible.

He somewhat understood what the captain said, that not all people would respect soldiers.

Glancing at the masked man with disgust, Wei Jingyuan swung the wooden stick in his hand. He realized that Qiuqiu had tied the masked man in a way that was very convenient for beating.

"There was indeed no grudge in the past, but there is definitely a grudge today." Tao Qiuyi looked at the masked man with a smile, "You said you were pretending to be unconscious, so just pretend well. No one will say anything to you."

"You got up and shot me, it's your fault. We have a feud, so we have to fight to the death, don't you think, Captain?"

As soon as the masked man opened his mouth, Tao Qiuyi recognized that he was the team leader.

Hearing her call him "Team Leader," the masked man immediately became alert, his mind constantly recalling where he had given away his identity and let this woman discover him.

After thinking about it, he felt that he had performed well.

"It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It was a misunderstanding." The masked man was secretly alert, but a look of annoyance appeared on his face. He explained, "It really was a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to shoot you."

"I woke up and heard some noise. I thought the wild boars had returned, so I fired a shot instinctively."

As long as he didn't admit it, they wouldn't know he really wanted to kill them.

"So they mistook us for wild boars." Tao Qiuyi pouted and looked at Wei Jingyuan with a look of grievance. "Husband, I'm so pretty, and they mistook me for wild boars..."
