Xia Qingyue applied mosquito repellent ointment on her body in advance, so she was not bitten.

After finding a secluded dark place to hide, she looked out and was surprised to find a person on the tree.

Judging from his body shape, he is a man.

She looked again and again, but it was dark and she couldn't see clearly who the man was.

After waiting in the dark for about half an hour, someone jumped out from behind a tree trunk, scratching his body with both hands like a monkey scratching an itch, cursing:

"It's so itchy, damn mosquito, why haven't you come yet? I've been waiting for several days and haven't even seen a ghost!"

"Brother Liu, isn't it? If we wait any longer, the brothers will be bitten to death by mosquitoes.

There were wolves two nights ago. The brothers fought desperately to save the two people on the tree, but three brothers died!

Is it really worth it? What if the wolf comes again tonight? "

The group of people hiding in the dark stood up one after another, complaining bitterly.

Liuzi seemed to be persuaded. He kicked the stone at his feet away and said in a sinister voice, "You are just standing there and letting your brothers risk their lives. I have to go back and ask Tan Xiaozhu what she is planning. If she can't give a reasonable explanation today, I will go back and report this to the village chief!

Let’s go, brothers!”

At his command, everyone followed him, looking aggressive.

After hearing those words, Xia Qingyue was certain that this group of people were in the same group as Tan Xiaozhu, and they were most likely the bandits living in the village on the mountain!

And from what Liuzi said, it was Tan Xiaozhu's own decision to send people to arrest her, and the bandit leader was not aware of it.

It turned out that Tan Xiaozhu wanted to find her and move into the tiankeng in her place!

She gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Tan Xiaozhu, forget it!"

Just then, the person hanging on the tree moved.

"Yuzhen, Yuzhen, how are you?"

"Yuzhen?"

Each voice was more urgent than the last.

The voice that spoke was a man's, and Xia Qingyue felt it sounded familiar.

It’s Uncle Li Benfu!

The group of people left. The opportunity was too good to be missed. Xia Qingyue slowly approached the tree where the person was tied. She did not rush forward to save him, fearing that it was a trap.

It's better to be cautious.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Benfu, hanging on the tree, tried every way to save himself, but all ended in failure.

Xia Qingyue stepped out from the darkness, "Uncle Li, it's me, Qingyue, don't worry, did that group of people set any other traps nearby?"

“Qing, Qingyue, it’s you!” Li Benfu was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and replied, “There is a trap under the tree, be careful and don’t get close to it.

There is a rope tied to the tree trunk on your left. Pull it down hard and we will land."

Xia Qingyue avoided the tree and went around to the other side. She looked up and saw an imperceptible rope tied to a tree trunk about 1.7 meters high.

She climbed up the tree using both her hands and feet. Fortunately, she was tall enough and had long arms, and she pulled for a while before pulling the rope.

The rope loosened, she fell to the ground, spread her legs, half-knelt and pulled down with force.

As she pulled, Li Benfu and his wife slowly fell down.

The two men were tied at a height of eight or nine meters above the ground, and it took Xia Qingyue a lot of effort to pull them down.

She usually does a lot of work and keeps exercising, so her strength has gradually increased. If she had tried to pull it when she had just come through, she would have been unable to pull for more than two minutes.

Xia Qingyue used a dagger to cut the rope that tied up the two people, first Li Benfu, and then Chen Yuzhen.

As soon as the rope on Chen Yuzhen was cut, her body tilted and fell down. Li Benfu rushed over and supported his wife.

"Qingyue, let's get out of here quickly, they will be back soon!" Li Benfu carried his wife on his back, his expression painful as he inhaled through his mouth.

Xia Qingyue knew that he was injured, and he was right. She put away the rope and said to Heihei, "Take us there!"

Ropes are useful supplies, so collect them when you come across them.

Under Heihei's leadership, Xia Qingyue and the others ran in the woods, away from this place.

As she ran, Chen Yuzhen half opened her eyes. She raised her hand and said in a weak but firm voice, "No, don't take us there, Qingyue, don't!"

She uttered these words in a hoarse voice and fell into coma again.

Xia Qingyue was completely confused after hearing this.

Li Benfu tilted his head slightly and looked at his wife lovingly, “She said that she doesn’t want you to take us to the shelter where you live.

Qingyue, you must not take us to your place!"

He spoke with great determination, his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.

Xia Qingyue nodded after understanding what was going on, and cast a gentle gaze on their faces. "I'll take you to another safe place."

Simultaneously.

A remote place in a cave by the river.

Liuzi and his men stood face to face with Tan Xiaozhu.

Seeing that they all came over, Tan Xiaozhu became anxious and asked angrily, "Why are you all back?"

Liuzi approached Tan Xiaozhu step by step, "If we stay there, we will be bitten by mosquitoes and besieged by wild wolves. It has been so many days, and apart from the refugees on the mountain, we haven't seen the person you mentioned, let alone the dog!

Tan Xiaozhu, what on earth are you up to? In order to catch this unknown person, three of our brothers lost their lives. What benefit did this trip bring us? How are we going to report back?"

After being questioned repeatedly, the guilty Tan Xiaozhu's eyes became erratic. She had done this on her own and if she was discovered, she would not have a good ending.

They can't find any clues.

Soon, she thought of what to say, and a charming smile rose on her face, and she flirted with Liu Zi and the others, "Originally, I wanted to wait until the matter was done and the results were achieved before informing you of the matter, but since you are so anxious to know, I will tell you in advance.

In fact, I learned from the Li family that the woman with the black dog lived in another shelter which was good in every way. It was no worse than the cave here, but they just couldn't find its exact location.

I was thinking that we could do both and bring back more good stuff to dampen the arrogance of Zhou Datong and the others, right? "

Her words were half true and half false. After hearing them, Liuzi and the others believed most of it and began to ask for details excitedly.

Tan Xiaozhu glossed over the issue with a few words.

After hearing this, Liuzi and the others were like being given an injection of chicken blood. They were revived with full health and went back to wait for the trap.

As soon as they left, Tan Xiaozhu's face fell and he muttered coldly, "What's going on? Why hasn't Xia Qingyue shown up yet? This shouldn't happen. She should have heard the news and come over.

Could it be that she is not as kind as she appears to be, and has abandoned the Li family?"

Over there, Xia Qingyue brought Li Benfu and his wife to the cave that they had accidentally discovered two days ago. She let the couple enter the cave first, and she found some hay and firewood outside and brought them in.

It was so dark in the cave that nothing could be seen. Xia Qingyue groped in the dark and, relying on her memory, led Li Benfu and his wife to an open-air cave inside the bend. Lighting a fire in the cave outside was afraid of attracting people and ferocious beasts, so it was safer inside.
