Lou Xiao never thought about the danger of leaving Li Huaiqing in the village.

Mo Jingchun's whole heart was on her. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary to her, and he didn't pay any attention to Li Huaiqing at all.

Besides, with Li Huaiqing's unyielding character, what could possibly go wrong when facing Mo Jingchun, who has a simple mind?

The three of them followed the butcher who was traveling under the cover of darkness, passing through the dense woods, turning around and going deeper and deeper into the woods.

The oil lamp held by the butcher flickered in the night and was almost extinguished several times by the night wind.

It should have been easy for three martial artists to follow an ordinary villager, but the cautious butcher looked back and around several times, which made Lou Xiao more careful.

Ai Ying was asked by Li Huaiqing to follow Lou Xiao. Although he didn't specify what to do, as long as it was Lou Xiao, Ai Ying would respond.

In the darkness of night, he followed Lou Xiao and moved carefully between the trees, his mind full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask.

What are they doing following a pig butcher?

It was pitch black everywhere at night. The butcher hurried back to the village. Where was he going?

They followed in silence for an unknown period of time until another person appeared in front of the butcher. Only then did Ai Ying realize why they had to be so careful.

Jianghu people.

The oil lamp that was about to go out in the night wind dimly illuminated half of the man's face.

He has a long face, a hooked nose, evil eyes, and nasolabial folds that droop down to the corners of his mouth. He looks particularly tough.

Lou Xiao and Er Liu didn’t know each other, but Ai Ying looked inexplicably familiar.

His eyes fell on the cloth-wrapped object on the other person's back. It must be a personal weapon. He would be able to remember what it was just by taking a look at it.

But the darkness obscured the view, and the gangster checked the butcher with the remaining light of the oil lamp and then let him go.

He was leaning against the tree, hiding behind a clump of lush grass, keeping an eye out for the butcher's movement while hiding himself so that no one could detect him.

What kind of desolate place needs a lookout with great martial arts skills?

It seemed difficult for them to bypass him silently. Er Liu slowly drew out his dagger and was about to kill him, but Lou Xiao stopped him with one hand and shook his head.

They came here only to investigate and must not alert the enemy.

Ai Ying stretched out her index finger and put it to her lips, making a strange sound. Lou Xiao frowned and looked back with a hint of reproach in her eyes.

Before he could say anything, he saw the man from Jianghu stand up and look around, cursing softly.

"Catch a pheasant and bring it back as a snack. I haven't eaten meat in a few days. It's really awful in this damn place without wine and meat!"

Lou Xiao's eyes fell on Ai Ying's finger, then turned to look at the man who seemed to be carefully looking for the non-existent "pheasant".

The butcher's oil lamp was getting farther and farther away. Lou Xiao and the other two carefully avoided the lookouts and continued to follow the butcher.

Although there was still no light, there were some unknown noises, like knocking and tinkling.

There were a few shouts mixed in, and there was a bit of liveliness hidden in the silence.

The road becomes wider as you get closer. Many people have trampled the road surface, and occasionally there are messy stones piled up.

There are more and more "guardians" hiding densely. No matter how talented they are in martial arts, it is impossible for them to gather together and hide.

Lou Xiao watched the butcher's oil lamp go out. The sound was getting closer, which meant that the place she was looking for was not far away.

We need to find another way.

She stopped and thought, gestured for them to disperse and reduce the target, then she found a direction and went into the darkness alone.

The dark night is the best cover for a lone traveler. Lou Xiao moves lightly and silently among the bushes to avoid possible hidden guards.

There was a faint flicker of fire between the branches. She carefully pushed aside the branches and looked towards the light. Not far away in the mountain stream, two or three people were standing by the sparkling water illuminated by torches.

In the gaps between the messy piles of stones, a simple door frame was propped up with wood.

The butcher took out some wine and meat from his luggage as a gift to the guards. Then he smiled and flattered them, said a lot of nice things with a blushing face, and dived into the dark door frame.

This is it.

mine.
