Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 110: Mission, Ambush 27

"Seems like I haven’t seen him before. Since he knows the host’s nickname, he should be from the village!"

The person who came over saw Cheng Xiaoxiao’s puzzled face and was also uncertain.

The Daya from their village was pale and thin, pitiful in appearance, but the girl in front of him was delicate and charming, with bright eyes and beautiful teeth, possessing an unrestrained beauty. In short, she didn’t quite resemble her!

He could only tentatively ask, "Are you Cheng Yong’s eldest daughter, Daya, from Qingshan Village?"

Huh! This person even knows her dad?

Seeing the little girl show no expression, he continued, "I am from Qingshan Village, the second son of the village head, Cheng Jinxing. I’ve been working as a shopkeeper in the town and rarely return to the village, so you might not remember me well." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He was not very familiar to begin with, and given his current down-and-out appearance, it’s reasonable that Daya wouldn’t recognize him. He never considered that the person in front of him wasn’t the real Daya and naturally didn’t know him.

However, it didn’t stop Cheng Xiaoxiao from introducing herself anew to this fellow villager. She pretended to be surprised: "I knew you looked familiar. So it was Uncle Jinxing! It’s been so long I didn’t recognize you at first. Please understand!"

Cheng Jinxing waved his hand hastily, "It’s fine, it’s fine. I haven’t seen you for a year, Daya’s gotten prettier. Even your Uncle Xing almost didn’t recognize you."

Cheng Xiaoxiao: "..."

Oh! So the original host called him Uncle Xing? I remember last time hearing Erya call Cheng Jingo, she said Uncle Gao, so it’s just a one-word title, I see.

But when she thought about Cheng Jinzhao, who seemed barely a few years older than her, yet was actually younger, she also should call him uncle? Uncle Zhao... It sounds so strange.

That cheerful Cheng Jinzhao, the youngest, never admitted to being of the uncle generation, insisting people call him brother because he didn’t want to be addressed as old. Only when teasing his second brother did he call himself uncle.

So turns out the four sons of Grandpa Village Head are called Fortune, Star, High, and Shine!

Tsk tsk!

These names seem casual yet carry some seriousness.

Thoughts flashed through her mind instantly, quickly shifting back, "Uncle Xing, it’s like this. I have urgent business and can’t delay. There are a few wounded here, and you should take your family back to the village with them tomorrow, it’s settled then!"

Without giving him a chance to speak, she waved her little hand and turned around to leave quickly. Feeling anxious inside, there was no time to catch up with an uncle she wasn’t very familiar with.

Cheng Jinxing wanted to say something, but Dongfang Xu blocked his way.

He could only leave silently, wanting to ask about the situation in the village, whether his parents were well. Thinking about what his wife and daughter had gone through, he wished he could join them, but he still had a young son to raise, ah!

I’ll wait till tomorrow then!

Cheng Xiaoxiao arrived at the cave that was previously assigned to her. Now Leng Er’s group was here recuperating.

Once inside, she saw a group of people, either lying or sitting, all injured and wrapped in thick bandages.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt very ashamed, but there was no way. Even at this moment, she had to have these people continue to work for her. Conscience uneasy, she could only be selfish this time.

Owing too many favors is hard to repay, but they can be repaid slowly. Without her golden finger, she might not survive long, the next task could be even more perverse. Without the mall, without power, without the positioning system, what could she use to protect herself, to negotiate with Yanlan, so she could only gamble everything?

Time was pressing, so Cheng Xiaoxiao got straight to the point, "It’s like this, I still need everyone’s help. I know this is very outrageous, everyone is injured, it shouldn’t be asked of you to fight and hurry, this might cause further injury. But I have no choice, I have my own difficulties, sorry everyone. In the future, if there’s anything good, I’ll keep a share for you."

The group saw such a sweet and lovely young girl apologizing to them, flattered, they all waved their hands if they could. Those whose hands were inconvenient shook their heads instead, indicating they were willing to brave any hardship for Miss Cheng at any cost.

No kidding, this was someone favored by the Pavilion Master, how dare they have objections? Moreover, the young lady was competent, and after hearing Captain Leng Qi recount various amazing feats of Miss Cheng, they were extremely impressed.

A group of young men chuckled, not caring much about the good things Miss Cheng mentioned; they just thought it was like being invited for an insignificant meal.

However, later, Cheng Xiaoxiao actually brought them treasures, and even delivered them directly to them, making them cherish them to no end and envying the other brothers in the pavilion. They were either scheduling fights or duels daily, always wanting to win the treasures from them.

Cheng Xiaoxiao told them about her plan to immediately go clear out the mountain bandits, needing the group to set off immediately. As soon as she finished speaking, they immediately packed up, ready to depart, all in just two minutes.

Even three severely injured personnel wanted to follow, but Cheng Xiaoxiao firmly pushed them back.

Terrified, they didn’t dare move, afraid of offending the girl in front.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, at a loss, had to issue an order in a serious commanding tone: "You three are responsible for escorting Cheng Jinxing’s family back to Qingshan Village tomorrow, along with that grandfather and grandson, identify their identities with Qing Shi, execute the order without error."

"Understood!"

The three answered in unison.

It was only after responding that they realized they had just been intimidated by the young lady’s aura and naturally responded respectfully as if receiving an order from their commander.

Realizing this, they awkwardly closed their mouths and pretended nothing had happened.

Having explained everything thoroughly, Cheng Xiao prepared to set off immediately, then remembered something...

"Oh right, I’ll leave Leng Qi behind, he’s familiar with the roads." She scanned around but didn’t see Leng Qi anywhere.

"Where’s Leng Qi?"

Just as she finished speaking, there was a bang!

Outside, debris flew, and dust filled the air. Leng Er quickly stepped in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, using inner strength to clear away the flying debris and rolling dust.

What the hell! Leng Qi actually got into a fight with Dongfang Xu at the cave entrance.

What is going on?

She’s waiting to be saved!

What are these two stirring up again?

Leng Er, enduring inner injuries, broke open their Qi Force defenses, forcibly separating the two sparring back and forth.

"Stop it, stop it now, what are you doing, running out of things to do, huh?" Cheng Xiaoxiao sternly shouted.

The two forcibly separated glared menacingly at each other, like unwavering mortal enemies.

"What’s going on, who started it?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was so angry she wished she could slap a frying pan at each of them.

The two exchanged looks, ignored each other, and stayed silent.

Leng Er sternly spoke, "Leng Qi, do you realize your mistake? As the girl’s personal guard, how can you start a fight with her friend?"

Leng Qi felt healed when his brother mentioned he was Miss Cheng’s personal guard. Yes, he was one of them, and that Dongfang surname was an outsider.

Dongfang Xu was instantly furious, "Xiaoxiao only needs me, doesn’t need any guard."

"Where did you come from, go back there, Miss Cheng’s given name isn’t yours to shout casually." Leng Qi was displeased. Where did this Dongfang kid come from, suddenly showing up beside the girl?

He had only been gone for a bit, and now Miss Cheng was being entangled.

"But Xiaoxiao asked me to stay by her side, what can you do about it."

If it weren’t that they had so many people, he would’ve flattened this eyesore a long time ago.

Cheng Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead, couldn’t they just get along peacefully? Why must things get this chaotic?
