Chapter 136 Lost
Daya and Xiaoyue, these two women are full of youthful energy and vitality.
Riding their spirited horses, they galloped like two gusts of wind, heading towards Jiaxian County.
After two days of arduous travel, traversing rugged mountain roads and crossing turbulent rivers, they finally arrived at a bustling little town.
The town was bustling with activity, and the shouts of various vendors rose and fell.
The laughter and chatter of pedestrians blended together, creating a vivid and authentic picture of everyday life in the city.
Daya and Xiaoyue led their horses, their hearts filled with anticipation and joy.
They knew this would be a good place for them to rest and replenish their energy.
At the entrance of the restaurant, the waiter immediately spotted the two travel-worn but undeniably beautiful young women.
A warm smile immediately spread across his face. He quickly stepped forward and greeted them warmly, "Ladies, please come inside."
We have the best food and drinks here; we guarantee you'll be satisfied.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue immediately urged impatiently, "Brother Er, hurry up and get us something good to eat, we're starving!"
"Alright, please wait a moment, young lady, I'll go and make the arrangements for you right away."
The waiter responded and turned to get busy.
Before long, plates of fragrant, steaming hot food were placed on the table.
Daya and Xiaoyue looked at the delicious food on the table, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
They didn't care about their image anymore and started eating heartily.
After a whirlwind meal, they felt incredibly refreshed, as if all their fatigue had vanished.
After a satisfying meal, Daya and Xiaoyue asked the waiter for directions to Jiaxian County.
The waiter's answer made their faces turn red instantly; they had actually gone the wrong way.
It turned out they had been heading east, while Chiayi County was to the north.
Xiaoyue suddenly realized that Xiaoya had once taught her how to determine direction.
She scratched her head a little embarrassedly and said to Daya, "Sister Daya, Xiaoya once told me how to tell directions, but I forgot about it for a moment."
She said if we don't know the direction, we should look at the sun in the sky.
The place where the sun rises is in the east, and the place where the sun sets is in the west.
If we face the direction the sun is rising, then north is on our left and south is on our right.
After she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue shyly.
After hearing this, Daya smiled and tapped Xiaoyue's forehead: "You, you actually forgot such an important thing."
Fortunately, we hadn't gone too far. Now that we know the direction, we can just start heading north again.
Although they went in the wrong direction, Daya and Xiaoyue were not discouraged.
After paying the bill, they readjusted their course and continued on the correct route.
They faced many hardships and obstacles along the way, but always maintained a firm belief and an optimistic attitude.
They supported and encouraged each other, facing difficulties and challenges together.
Three days later, they encountered many refugees on their journey.
These people were dressed in rags, looked haggard, and their eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
They walked along the rugged mountain path, their families in tow, their steps faltering, as if searching for their last hope.
A strong sense of sympathy and pity welled up in Daya and Xiaoyue's hearts.
They stopped their horses and asked the people where they had fled from.
An elderly man nervously told them.
About half a month ago, Gu Xuanchao's army launched a fierce attack, and the defending general and soldiers of Jia County fought a desperate battle with Gu Xuanchao's army.
But just a few days ago, Gu Xuanchao's army still broke through our border.
They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities; we simply could no longer live there.
To survive, we had no choice but to flee our village and find a safe place.
Hearing the old man's words, Daya and Xiaoyue felt extremely heavy-hearted.
They knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, and they understood the suffering of these ordinary people.
After hearing the old man's story and seeing the ragged and haggard refugees, Daya and Xiaoyue were filled with sympathy and helplessness.
Although they were eager to go to Chiayi County to provide support, the situation they were faced put them in a dilemma.
"Xiaoyue, seeing these people struggling so much and us being powerless to help them really makes me feel terrible."
Daya's voice carried a hint of bitterness and helplessness.
Xiaoyue gently shook her head, her eyes filled with worry.
"Sister Daya, I...I don't know what to do either."
We want to help them, but Jiaxian County needs us more right now.
Just as the two were immersed in deep sympathy and a sense of powerlessness.
Suddenly, a loud shouting and commotion arose from the refugee crowd in the distance.
They hurriedly looked up, but their view was blocked by a bend not far ahead, and they couldn't see anything.
"Big Sister Ya, let's go see what happened." After saying that, Xiaoyue spurred her horse and headed in that direction.
Seeing this, Daya immediately spurred her horse and chased after them, shouting, "Giddy up!"
The two rode their horses quickly to the bend, and the sight before them shocked them.
A group of thugs wielding sharp blades were seen attacking a group of dozens of refugees.
The refugees were clearly exhausted and had no chance against the thugs' attack.
“These people are really too much. Everyone is fleeing for their lives, and they are even robbing and killing these fleeing farmers.”
Xiaoyue shouted angrily and then spurred her horse forward.
Da Ya followed closely behind, and the two of them used their lightness skills to draw their swords while floating in mid-air.
The sword flashed like lightning, and a chilling aura emanated from it.
Daya and Xiaoyue rushed into the battlefield like two sharp gusts of wind.
The swords in their hands drew graceful arcs in the air, and wherever the sword tips passed, the villains fell one after another.
The villains were clearly caught off guard by the sudden appearance of such a skilled fighter, and were thrown into disarray.
Taking advantage of the situation, Daya and Xiaoyue launched a fierce offensive. Their swordsmanship was exquisite and their teamwork was perfect. Every sword strike was aimed at the vital points.
Daya moved with agility, like a butterfly fluttering in the air, moving freely among the enemies.
Her swordsmanship was both fast and accurate; each strike flashed across her enemy's body like lightning.
Those villains were like fragile paper figures under her sword, collapsing at the slightest touch.
Xiaoyue is like a blooming lotus flower, elegant yet dignified.
Her swordsmanship was equally exquisite, but unlike Daya's sharpness, her swordsmanship focused more on flexibility and variation.
She can flexibly change her position among the enemy to achieve the greatest results with the least cost.
The two were invincible on the battlefield, and the villains were defeated one after another.
But just then, a burly man wielding a large knife rushed out from the crowd.
He must be the leader of this gang of thugs; a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph... You two little brats dare to meddle in other people's business."
The burly man roared and swung his broadsword at Daya and Xiaoyue.
Seeing this, Daya and Xiaoyue were not afraid at all.
They exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with unwavering conviction.
The two men simultaneously swung their swords to meet the black-clad man's broadsword. The light of the swords and the shadow of the blades intertwined in the air, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.
Daya and Xiaoyue were surprised to find that the big man was so skilled in martial arts.
However, they seemed somewhat powerless against the combined attack of the two of them.
Although his broadsword was fierce, it appeared clumsy and ineffective in the face of the two men's swordsmanship.
Just then, Da Ya suddenly unleashed a move called "Exquisite Palm Technique," aiming straight for the big man's vital points.
The burly man was shocked to see this and hurriedly brandished his knife to defend himself.
But at that moment, Xiaoyue also used her most powerful move, "Exquisite Moon Shadow," and the sword light fell on the man in black like moonlight, making his figure blurry.
For a moment, the burly man was unable to discern the direction of Daya and Xiaoyue's attacks and could only passively defend against them.
At that moment, Daya and Xiaoyue simultaneously unleashed their respective special moves.
With a flash of sword light, the burly man's broadsword was knocked away, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Finally, he spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground, where he remained motionless.
