97 Chapter 97 Ill-Intentioned
Zhou Ying, who was busy in the kitchen, heard Er Zhuang’s abnormal barks and immediately rushed out. She was met by six big men with sticks, three of whom even surrounded Er Zhuang.
This made her immediately realize that the other party had come with ill intentions, so she didn’t even say a word and immediately took out a pepper spray and hid it in her sleeve.
When the leader saw Zhou Ying, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up with an evil smile. “You must be Mrs. Gu, right?”
“If you have nothing else, please leave.” Zhou Ying said vigilantly.
“Seeing that you’re as pretty as a flower, we won’t make things difficult for you. Come with us.” After the leader finished speaking, he sized her up and ensured that there was nothing in her hands. Then, he walked toward her with a stick in his hand.
Zhou Ying stared at his stick. Seeing that he didn’t instantly make a move, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t until he grabbed her hand that Zhou Ying suddenly aimed the pepper spray at his face and sprayed it three times. At the same time, she took two steps back and jumped out of his stick’s range.
The leader let out a blood-curdling screech and immediately covered his face with the hand about to grab her. With his other hand, he swung the stick at the spot where she had been standing.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she turned around and sprayed at the others. However, when they saw their leader’s miserable state, none dared to step forward.
However, they didn’t retreat. They immediately surrounded her and said, “You’ll run out of the things in your hands sooner or later. You’d better come with us; otherwise, don’t blame us for being rough with you.”
“Hmph,” Zhou Ying snorted coldly and ignored them.
She approached Er Zhuang as she sprayed the pepper spray. She removed the leash on his neck when she got to his side and let him out.
Because she clearly knew that even if nothing happened to her after being captured by them, she would be gossiped about when she returned. At that time, how could she have a foothold in the village?
Therefore, she could only persevere. As long as she could hold on a little longer, she would be saved when the people from the village came.
Then, she retreated to the shed and simply grabbed the sticks of firewood to throw at them.
Especially the leader, because he couldn’t use his eyes anymore and could only wave the stick in his hand blindly.
Therefore, Zhou Ying deliberately threw it at his lower body, making him fl.u.s.tered. He even hit his people with his stick from time to time.
When the others saw this, they were all furious. After looking at each other, they decided to attack together. After all, no one would die from this. As long as one of them could catch her, it would be over.
After Zhou Ying saw through their intentions, she remembered the knockout powder that Gu Chengrui had left for her. She immediately took out a packet and crushed the paper packet when they came over, throwing it at them.
When the few of them saw the powder, they subconsciously withdrew it. Nonetheless, two of them were still knocked out.
Zhou Ying smiled when she saw this. Then, she retreated to the front of the woodpile and used the woodpile as a cover. She took out a large bag of dried limestone powder from the corner, scooped up a small pile, and threw it above them.
Seeing this, the remaining three people didn’t dare approach her, but they weren’t stupid. They separated and surrounded her in three directions.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying prepared a bag of lime powder, opened it, and held it in her hand. At the same time, she aimed the pepper spray in one direction.
But someone still rushed into the shed from behind. Zhou Ying immediately threw the lime powder out, turned her head, and sprayed the pepper spray at him to scare him away.
However, this gave the other side a chance.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying took an air gun from her inters.p.a.ce under the cover of her coat. She turned around and shot it at his eyes.
“Bang!” The man let out a heart-wrenching scream.
