Chapter 242: Robbing My Stuff

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A trace of sorrow flashed across Zhang Shulun’s eyes. “It was Mother who made me escape.”

Su Ying raised an eyebrow. “Escape?”

Zhang Shulun nodded. “Mm-hmm.”

“Where are you from?”

“I’m from the Taloh Tribe. The people who used to buy medicinal herbs from Father suddenly brought people to our tribe and wanted to snatch the medicinal herbs we had stocked up. Father and the tribesmen did not agree, so they fought with them. But… but we were no match for them at all…”

“In order to save your life, your mother told you to escape on your own?”

Zhang Shulun nodded. “Yes. But there was a snowstorm when I reached here. I… I hid in the cave and fell unconscious.”

“You’re from the Taloh Tribe?” the Orange Guardian suddenly spoke up.

Zhang Shulun nodded. “Yes.”

He paused for a moment. As he looked at the Orange Guardian’s clothes, he suddenly said, “You… you are… you are the Guardian of Sky Alpha City! The person who came to our tribe to buy medicinal herbs previously.”

The Orange Guardian nodded.

Su Ying was actually quite puzzled. Based on Wei Ji’s style of doing things, she would rob anything she wanted, but she was actually willing to pay these tribes.

Su Ying snapped back to her senses. “You’re saying that some people came to your tribe to snatch medicinal herbs?”

“Yes,” Zhang Shulun replied with a nod.

“Who are they?”

Zhang Shulun’s expression became even more contorted. “It’s the people from the Nan State. They suddenly started fighting with the Chu State. As soon as there were many injuries at the border, they needed medicinal herbs. However, we were going to sell that batch of medicinal herbs to Sky Alpha City next spring. Father was unwilling to hand over the medicinal herbs, so those guys openly grabbed them.” As he spoke, he somehow mustered the strength to sit up from the ground. “No, I can’t be a deserter. I want to go back and fight alongside Father and the others.”

Su Ying looked at his thin shoulders and wanted to tell him that even if he went back, he would be sending himself to his death. However, if those people from the Nan State snatched all the medicinal herbs, there would be nothing left for Su Ying.

In other words, those people were indirectly robbing her stuff now!

Su Ying ate a steamed bun and took a sip of water before standing up. “Lead the way. I’ll go back with you to take a look.”

Zhang Shulun was shocked when he heard Su Ying say that she wanted to go back with him. “No, you mustn’t. I can’t implicate you guys in this matter.”

Su Ying glanced at him. “If you don’t want to go back and collect your parents’ corpses later, then lead the way obediently.”

Zhang Shulun panicked when he heard her words. Su Ying instructed the Orange Guardian to help him onto the carriage. Then she harnessed the two alpha tigers to the carriage and they headed in the direction of the Taloh Tribe.

The Taloh Tribe was located on a flat plain. There were also mountains, but they were not high. The tribe’s village was nestled in a small mountain valley.

From afar, Su Ying could see the buildings at the base of the mountain valley.

When Su Ying and her group arrived outside the tribe’s village, they discovered that the ground was stained with blood.

Zhang Shulun looked at the bloodstains on the ground and his eyes gradually turned bloodshot. He staggered off the carriage and dashed in.

Su Ying also jumped down from the carriage and followed Zhang Shulun inside.

The bloodstains on the ground along the way were clearly visible, and the howling of the freezing wind and the wailing of people from afar could be heard.

“Mother, Father…” Zhang Shulun rushed all the way into the tribe’s village. When he returned to his home and saw that there was no one in the house, his heart was torn apart.

He ran out of his house and went to the courtyard next door. He saw an old woman lying in the snow.

“Granny Aqing, how… how are you?” Zhang Shulun struggled to support the old woman, but he was already very weak. Running in had already exhausted all his strength, so how could he still support an old woman?

Just as Zhang Shulun was staggering in a sorry state, a hand reached out and straightaway supported the old woman with her shoulder before bringing her into the house.

Zhang Shulun looked at Su Ying gratefully before clambering up from the floor and following her into the house.

Su Ying laid the old woman down on the bed and examined the injury on her arm.

“Orange Guardian, bring my bundle here.” Before Su Ying left the city, she packed all the medicine she might need into a bag so that it would be convenient for her to take it when she needed it.

The wound on the old woman’s arm was clearly caused by a sharp object. The wound was very deep and needed stitches.

After Su Ying repeatedly applied the disinfectant to the wound, she managed to stop the bleeding and began to stitch it up. The old woman had lost consciousness throughout the entire process due to excessive blood loss. Only after Su Ying bandaged her wound and fed her medicine did the old woman slowly wake up.

“Granny Aqing, you’re awake. Where are my mother and father? And Younger Sis, Little Sister Bell, and the others had also disappeared.”

When Granny Aqing saw Zhang Shulun clearly, she was very agitated and wanted to push him away. “Quick! Run! Run quickly! Don’t come back…”

“Old lady, those people have already left. Calm down first and tell me what happened,” Su Ying said in a low voice.

When Granny Aqing heard Su Ying’s voice, she looked at her with some astonishment. Zhang Shulun explained, “Granny, they are from Sky Alpha City. They heard that our medicinal herbs were stolen and came to help us.”

Granny Aqing glanced weakly at Su Ying. The prices offered by Sky Alpha City when they purchased medicinal ingredients were very low, but at least they were still able to get money for the goods. They wouldn’t simply snatch them like those people.

“They… they robbed the medicinal herbs and the women in our tribe. Your… your father and the rest ran after them…”

“In which direction did they go?”

“The Shinloh Tribe. They… they still want to go over there to rob…”

Su Ying turned to the Orange Guardian and said, “You stay here and deal with the wounded.”

The Orange Guardian nodded.

Then, she said to Zhang Shulun, “If you know where the Shinloh Tribe is, bring me there.”

“Alright, alright.”

Su Ying tossed him two energy pills. “Eat two more. Your body is too weak.”

Zhang Shulun quickly shoved the two energy pills into his mouth and followed Su Ying out of the tribe’s village.

“Big Kitties!”

Su Ying called out, and the tigers crouching at the entrance plodded over.

Su Ying asked Zhang Shulun to get into the carriage. “Tell me. How do we get there?”

“Go straight. Go straight down and you’ll see it.”

Su Ying reached out and patted the tiger’s body before jumping onto the carriage. “Move.”

The tigers started galloping in the snow.

Along the way, Su Ying could see some blood stains intermittently.

“Father! It’s Father and the others!” Zhang Shulun suddenly shouted.

Su Ying also saw someone lying in the snow not far ahead.

She stopped the tigers and turned around to face those people.

The carriage had yet to stop but Zhang Shulun had already jumped out and ran up to those people.

“Father, Father! How are you, Father?” Zhang Shulun helped up a man who was totally covered in snow.

Su Ying walked up and gave the man a quick check. The man had been stabbed in the abdomen, and his condition didn’t look too good.

“Get him into the carriage first.”

Zhang Shulun nodded while choking back his tears. After carrying the person into the carriage, he went to check on the others. There were a total of ten people on the ground, and only three were still breathing..
