Chapter 432 - 432: Grasshoppers On The Same Rope
She shook her head and motioned for Lin Xu to hold up her dislocated chin.
After yesterday’s ordeal, it was not easy for her to survive. Now, she was paralyzed in the carriage and could not even move a strand of hair, let alone hold her chin up to speak.
“Don’t play any tricks. If I can save you, I can make you worse than you are now.”
Before Lin Xu made her move, she still gave a warning.
Just as the woman was nodding her head, Miss Tian, who had been kicked off the carriage, regained her senses. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and was about to pounce on the carriage again.
Lin Xu wanted to intimidate the female bandit and stop her from playing any tricks. She quickly got up and strode to the car door, punching Miss Tian in the face.
With a soft “crack,” Miss Tian immediately fell backward. Her face was covered in blood, and her tall nose was slanted to one side.
Madam Du had also stood up and was watching coldly from the side. She allowed Miss Tian to roll and roll on the ground, wailing continuously.
The female brigand swallowed hard. She had fully realized how violent this seemingly weak woman in front of her was.
If that punch had landed on her face, it would definitely have broken her bones
and disfigured her. If she had been hit a few more times, her life would have been in the hands of this woman.
Lin Xu turned around and half-squatted beside the female mountain bandit. She coldly said, “Now I’ll hold your chin back. If you know something, say it quickly. If you delay our business, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
The female brigand nodded her head immediately, her eyes filled with a pleading and urgent expression. Then, there was a “crack” and her jaw clenched, her mouth was already closed.
The long period of dislocation had caused her cheek muscles to be numb to the point where she couldn’t feel anything. Although her mouth was closed, saliva was still flowing down the corner of her mouth.
“Tell me, what do you know!”
Lin Xu did not give her time to slowly recover and immediately urged her.
“He, he’s not going south… He’s… heading north!”
The female brigand tried to speak, but her muscles were out of control. She finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
“North? I knew it. The south is suffering from such a serious disaster, so how could he still look south? He’s just finding an excuse.”
Lin Xu nodded and pressed, “What else do you have? Say it all!”
She was now very glad that she had brought this female brigand along. Originally, she had wanted to slowly torture her on the road to avenge the humiliation that they had suffered.
She didn’t expect to receive such an unexpected surprise.
“I… I told you, you… Swear, swear, you won’t harm me!”
The female brigand also knew what it meant to hide the bow after the bird was gone, and she was afraid that she would lose her value if she revealed everything, and her end would be even more miserable.
“If you ruin my plans, I’ll let you know what it means to be better off dead!”
Lin Xu’s entire body exuded a vicious aura. They had already delayed for a long time, and the longer they delayed, the fewer useful clues they would find.
She didn’t want to be stuck on the road, or be forced to go north. Every day, she was worried that she would encounter such an encounter again.
The female brigand saw that her eyes were already red. She could only obediently say, “Walk north for a while. There is a small, unremarkable Mountain Valley. We were prepared to ambush him there.”
“From where he came from, he’s definitely in the north. If we go there now, we might be able to find some clues.”
Under the threat of Lin Xu, she had no choice but to tell her everything she knew. She was so frightened that her speech was much more fluent than before.
“Sister Du, let’s head north and follow this b*tch’s trail.”
Lin Xu immediately turned her head and said to Madam Du. Just as she was speaking, Madam Du was already preparing to sit on the shaft of the carriage.
“Don’t leave me!”
Miss Tian, whose face was covered in blood, got up. She clutched the shaft of the carriage with both hands and tried to climb up.
“Get lost! Don’t force me to kill you right now!”
Lin Xu had already shown her most violent side, so she naturally would not pretend to be gentle and considerate.
Furthermore, Miss Tian had already seen her true appearance. She would never allow this woman to drag her down in the future.
Miss Tian had actually become the first to be abandoned in this small group. This fate had already been decided when she repeatedly provoked Lin Xu.
“No, I’m begging you, don’t leave me, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!”
Because Miss Tian’s nose had been shattered, her voice was buzzing. Moreover, her facial features were all scrunched up because she had pulled on her wound while speaking.
As she apologized, she cried and begged. Snot and tears mixed with blood were all over her face, making her look extremely embarrassed.
However, although she said it miserably, one of her hands was quietly reaching into her arms.
A hand suddenly clamped tightly on her arm and pulled out the hand that had already reached into her arms.
Her other hand reached in and took out the knife she had hidden in her bosom.
“Your trick has been used once and it’s already useless. You actually want to use it a second time? Who are you looking down on?”
Lin Xu gave a sinister smile to Miss Tian and suddenly jumped down from the carriage. She easily pried off Miss Tian’s fingers that were on the shaft and pushed them back.
Following a few crisp cracking sounds, a shrill howl that did not sound human pierced the sky.
Miss Tian’s fingers were bent backward at a strange angle. Eight out of ten fingers had already been broken.
This was not the end.
She was kicked in the chest by Lin Xu again and fell to the ground, face up. She rolled and wailed, her cries even more mournful than before.
“Sister Du, help me stabilize her.”
Lin Xu looked at Madam Du, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Madam Du immediately got out of the carriage. She was already frightened by Lin Xu’s series of unexpected operations.
She didn’t expect that this woman, who looked the most gentle and delicate, could be so cruel.
She couldn’t help but feel a little scared, but now that they were in the same boat, it was too late to leave.
Thus, she tactfully got off the carriage to help. She pressed down on Miss Tian’s shoulder and pressed her firmly to the ground.
Lin Xu had already found a stone from the side of the road. It seemed to be a few catties heavy, and the edge of the stone was very sharp.
“You, what do you want to do! We’re under broad daylight… Do you still want to kill?”
Miss Tian was scared out of her wits and struggled with all her might.
It was just that her fingers were fractured and her shoulders were pressed by Madam Du, so she couldn’t break free.
Lin Xu even straddled her waist, suppressing the strength of her lower body.
“You’ll know what I’m going to do soon.”
She sneered, raised the stone in her hand, and smashed it down on Miss Tian’s arm.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the carriage, which had stopped at the same place for a long time, moved forward again, speeding all the way to the north.
A slowly spreading pool of blood appeared where it had originally stopped.
Miss Tian was lying in the middle of a pool of blood, her mouth wide open. Her face was distorted from the intense pain.
She was not dead vet. but her breathing had become extremely weak.
Her four limbs were bent at a strange angle, and blood kept flowing out of her wounds. Although it was slow, it never stopped.
Not long after, she gradually stopped moving.
Her opened eyes were also covered with a layer of grayish-white film, which quickly attracted a flock of crows to circle in the sky. They swooped down and slowly covered her body..
