The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 334 Voice of Hope

In the dim woodshed, Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan huddled together, surrounded by an atmosphere of decay and despair. A few faint rays of light shone through the shabby wooden window, and dust flew in the light, just like their panicked hearts at the moment.

Lin Ruoxue hugged Xiaoxuan tightly with her arms, as if she wanted to use her body to build a solid defense for her. Xiaoxuan's body kept shaking, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind in late autumn, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at the ferocious bandits around her in horror.

"Master, are we unable to get out?" Xiaoxuan asked softly in tears, her voice full of helplessness and fear. Her little hands tightly grasped the corner of Lin Ruoxue's clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Lin Ruoxue's heart suddenly clenched. She suppressed her inner fear, gently stroked Xiaoxuan's hair, and whispered to comfort her: "No, Xiaoxuan. Master will definitely find a way to take you away from here." Although her voice was very soft, her tone was extremely firm. Her mind was running fast, thinking about various possible ways to escape, but every idea seemed so powerless in the face of these difficulties.

The bandits paced back and forth around, their weapons making frightening clashes from time to time. Their greedy and evil eyes wandered freely over Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan, and they muttered some unbearable words.

Lin Ruoxue's breathing became rapid, and her heartbeat was particularly clear in the quiet woodshed. She could feel Xiaoxuan's fear surging towards her like a tide, and she had to stay calm and give Xiaoxuan strength.

Suddenly, a loud sound of fighting came from outside the mountain stronghold. The sound came from far away and was like a sudden storm sweeping in. The bandits' originally arrogant expressions suddenly became panic-stricken. They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and fear.

"What's going on? What happened outside?" a bandit asked nervously.

"I don't know. Could it be that someone from the government has come?" another bandit answered in a trembling voice.

Lin Ruoxue's heart moved, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She stared at the door of the woodshed, as if she could see the situation outside through the door.

"Xiaoxuan, maybe someone is coming to save us." Lin Ruoxue said softly, with a hint of irrepressible excitement in her voice.

Xiaoxuan raised her head, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by fear. "Master, will someone really come to save us?"

Lin Ruoxue held Xiaoxuan's hand tightly, as if to pass on her strength to her. "It will happen. We have to believe it."

At this time, the fighting outside was getting more and more intense, and the bandits began to run around in panic. The atmosphere in the woodshed also became extremely tense, and Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan's hearts were hanging in their throats.

Lin Ruoxue stood up, walked carefully to the window of the woodshed, and looked out through the gap. She could only see some blurry figures swaying, but her heart was full of anticipation.

"Master, what did you see?" Xiaoxuan asked softly behind him.

"It's not clear yet, but something must have happened." Lin Ruoxue replied.

At this moment, a bandit suddenly pushed open the door of the woodshed and glared at them fiercely. "Stay still!" Then he hurriedly closed the door.

Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes. Although they didn't know who the person outside was, this sudden change gave them the possibility of escape.
