Chapter 333: Chapter 331 You Hurry Up_1

The old lady clutched her tightly and sighed, "Miss Xia, Miss Xia, you must be the university student from the city who came to help our village develop. You mustn’t go in there; that scoundrel doesn’t recognize anyone when he’s drunk and in a rage. He beat his own mother to death a few years ago."

The old lady was terrified that Xia Ningxing, a delicate girl, would soon suffer a terrible fate.

"Thank you for the warning, Granny, but don’t worry, I can fight; I’ll be fine," Xia Ningxing said, without saying much else. Pushing the old lady’s hand away, she hurried inside.

If she didn’t go in now, Luo Xiaohua and her mother might lose half their lives to that scum today.

"Miss Xia! Miss Xia!" The old lady became extremely anxious when she saw her go in, fearing something might happen to the girl from the city. She quickly scurried around, calling for help.

As soon as Xia Ningxing entered, she smelled heavy blood; Luo Xiaohua and her mother were beaten black and blue, bleeding profusely from their noses, lying in a pool of their own blood, barely clinging to life.

"Teacher!" Luo Xiaohua caught a glimpse of Xia Ningxing and was instantly filled with shame and terror; instinctively, she cried out, "Teacher! Quick, leave! Leave!"

But how could Xia Ningxing leave? She was there to save them: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here to protect you."

Xia Ningxing quickly went to their side, trying to help the mother and daughter up from the pool of blood, her fingers trembling.

Since childhood, apart from the time Tuanzi was sold to the traffickers, this was only the second time Xia Ningxing felt anger.

The kind of anger that made her want to kill!

"Who’s this little slut? What, looking for a beating?" The drunk man, completely irrational by now, picked up a bottle and smashed it toward Xia Ningxing’s head.

"Watch out!" Luo Xiaohua and her mother let out a scream of terror, watching Xia Ningxing with hearts in agony.

It was their fault; if it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have suffered such an unwarranted disaster.

But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Xia Ningxing had already turned the tables.

She snatched the bottle and threw the man over her shoulder, pinning him to the ground, authoritatively stepping on his head.

When the old lady and others came in to rescue Xia Ningxing, this was the scene they witnessed.

In an instant, everyone was dumbstruck, staring at her in disbelief.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would find it difficult to imagine how a slender girl could throw a big man to the ground so effortlessly.

"Miss Xia, are you, are you, are you all right?" stammered the old lady, her voice full of astonishment.

"I’m fine," Xia Ningxing shook her head, then quickly lifted Luo Xiaohua, who was covered in blood, and turned to the others, "Could you help me, please? Take Luo Xiaohua’s mother to the clinic as well."

In fact, Xia Ningxing could carry both mother and daughter by herself, but she feared that they might see her as a monster.

"No problem at all." Everyone nodded eagerly, lifting Luo Xiaohua’s mother and heading to the clinic together.

On the way there, Xia Ningxing heard from the villagers that Luo Xiaohua’s father had always been like this; they had counseled him countless times and intervened just as many, but every time, if they couldn’t save Luo Xiaohua and her mother, they themselves often ended up injured too.

Over time, they could only turn a blind eye.

After all, everyone needs to sweep the snow from their own doorstep; who has the time to care about other people’s business?

Upon arrival at the clinic, the doctor examined them and said to Xia Ningxing and the others, "The child isn’t in serious danger; she just needs to recover from the blood loss, but the adult has broken two ribs. Fortunately, no organs were pierced, and as long as she rests well, there should be no severe issues."

Ribs can heal themselves, as long as they are well taken care of.

"Thank you, doctor," Xia Ningxing finally relaxed and nodded in reassurance, deciding to go up the mountain later to gather some herbs and prepare medicine for the mother and daughter.

The village clinic was very rudimentary, and considering her family’s special circumstances, Xia Ningxing had the villagers help transport the mother and daughter to the school up on the mountain.

At the moment on the mountain, Wu Wenwen was complaining to the counselor, claiming Xia Ningxing had sneaked off the mountain to play.

Ruan Ruanruan immediately put her hands on her hips upon hearing this, "Wu Wenwen, why are you slandering again? Xiaxia certainly did not skip her duties to play. She had something to take care of when she went down the mountain. Besides, speaking of being lazy, you’re the one who’s been the laziest, even bribing Xu Li to help you wash rice and cook every day."

It’s just tattling!

Who can’t do that?

"Ruan Ruanruan! You shut up!" Wu Wenwen glared at her, then quickly turned to the counselor with a flattering smile, "Teacher, don’t listen to her nonsense. I definitely wasn’t being lazy."

After saying that, she looked at Ruan Ruanruan, "You say Xia Ningxing had matters to attend to when she went down the mountain, so tell us, what matters?"

While this was going on, Xia Ningxing came back.

"Xia Ningxing! You actually abandoned your post!" Wu Wenwen suddenly became like a mad dog, pouncing on her with accusations.

However, the counselor noticed the villagers who had come with her, "Xia Ningxing, what’s going on here?"

Before Xia Ningxing could explain, the villagers already began chattering away, explaining the situation in order to avoid any misunderstanding about Miss Xia.

"...That’s what happened, leader. Please, don’t blame Miss Xia. If it weren’t for her today, things might have ended badly for Xiaohua and her mother."

"Xia Ningxing, you did well," the counselor said, patting Xia Ningxing’s shoulder with satisfaction after listening, but he did not forget to warn her seriously, "However, this sort of thing is too dangerous. If it happens again, make sure to tell me or call Shiwei to go save lives together, understand?"

"I understand, teacher," Xia Ningxing didn’t explain too much, simply nodding obediently.

Her attitude pleased the counselor, who then turned to Wu Wenwen, "What exactly is your problem, young lady? Accusing Xia Ningxing time and again?"

"And about that rice washing, if you dare to be lazy again, don’t blame me for reporting to the school and having all your credits deducted," the counselor coldly warned.

He had seen through Wu Wenwen’s character, so he believed what Ruan Ruanruan said about her laziness, even without an investigation.

Wu Wenwen, embarrassed and annoyed, could only repeatedly assure the counselor that she wouldn’t dare to do it again.

In the end, she glared at Xia Ningxing fiercely.

Bitches always pretend to be righteous! All that saving lives acts just to seek credit!

After settling Xiaohua and her mother, Ruan Ruanruan pulled Xia Ningxing aside, "Xiaxia, I must say you’re too bold. Next time something like this happens, you better call me as well. It’s dangerous to go alone!"

The girl’s tone held a scolding note, but more than that, it was a motherly concern.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but ruffle her hair, "It’s okay, I am quite skilled."

"That’s not the point!" Ruan Ruanruan huffed, then looked over at the pitiful mother and daughter, and seeming to think of something, she suddenly sighed, "Xiaxia, you can’t always be there to save them. What are they going to do in the future?"

As long as Xiaohua’s father doesn’t die or give up his drinking habits, Xiaohua, and her mother are bound to suffer his abuse.
