My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"wrong……"

Just when she was about to kill Fu Xinluo with a dagger, Wen Qiqi suddenly saw a strange smile on Fu Xinluo's lips. Then, a strange sound suddenly came from the back mountain of Old Lady Chen's house! The back mountain of Old Lady Chen's house was not big, but it was densely wooded...

"There's someone in the back hill!"

Wen Qiqi grabbed Fu Xinluo and threatened her with a dagger: "Follow me!"

Fu Xinluo felt a piercing pain in her hands and was unable to resist. Die Jiu and Xinyi supported Old Lady Chen on both sides and quickly left the yard!

People who practice martial arts keep their eyes open and ears alert.

Wen Qiqi had just carefully identified it.

There were at least a thousand people lying in ambush in the hills behind Old Lady Chen's house. Therefore, even if one moved forward carefully, a sound like leaves falling in the wind would be heard.

However, this sound sounds dull...

The footsteps of the crowd moved lightly.

Wen's father has been leading troops for many years, and ambushes and the like are common operations, so Wen Qiqi is naturally familiar with some of the common sense.

"Miss, where are we going now? To find the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes?"

Die Jiu and Xinyi supported Old Lady Chen and asked anxiously.

Wen Qiqi shook her head decisively: "No!"

The place where the troops of the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince set up camp was about five miles away from Old Lady Chen's house. If the three of them traveled light and ran all the way, they might still be able to make it in time.

At worst, I could just kill Fu Xinluo with one knife.

But what about Old Mrs. Chen!

Old Mrs. Chen was injured and dying. The people walking on the main road became clear targets. If the people in the back mountain found them and rushed down directly, they would not be able to escape.

"Over the mountain!"

Wen Qiqi suddenly remembered the mountain road they had walked today, and immediately came up with an idea.

The front mountain has steep cliffs, the road is difficult to walk on, and there are large areas of bushes and dense forests...

This kind of terrain is most suitable for hiding. Moreover, she, Diejiu and Xinyi had just walked through it in the morning, so the people from the Shadow Gang must have more advantages.

"Okay! I'll listen to you, young lady. Let's go!"

"You guys support Aunt Chen and walk in front, I'll cover the rear!"

Wen Qiqi's dagger was placed on Fu Xinluo's neck, forcing her to hold him tightly.

With her in his hands, if the people from the back mountain catch up with him, he can threaten Fu Xinluo's life and buy time for Die Jiu and the others.

Seeing that she was dragging down the three girls, Old Lady Chen said repeatedly, "Just leave! Don't worry about me... My old bones are not worth your lives... Go! Go!"

"Aunt Chen, let's go together! We are the ones who have caused you trouble. If you say such things again, it will really make the three of us feel ashamed!"

Wen Qiqi looked at Aunt Chen and said with a firm look in her eyes.

Aunt Chen was so moved that tears kept falling.

Ever since the death of her husband and son, she has been alone and helpless, with no one caring about her anymore.

"It's worth it... At the end of my life, I can still meet three kind-hearted girls like you. It's really worth it."

Time was running out and there was no time to talk much. Wen Qiqi and his group quickly climbed up the front mountain!

It was already dark.

After Wen Qiqi and the others climbed over the mountain and stood on the hilltop and wandered around for a long time, they finally found the thatched road that the masked man took to bring them down the mountain.

There was already movement at the foot of the mountain. Fu Xinluo shouted desperately: "Help... Help... They are on the mountain!"

"Shut up!"

Die Jiu kicked Fu Xinluo hard in the stomach. Fu Xinluo spat out a mouthful of blood and smiled strangely: "You can't escape. The Shadow Gang has sent thousands of people today. You guys... must die!"

"Fu Xinluo, even if the Wen family had a dog, they wouldn't be as ungrateful as you!"

Xin Yi pulled out the dagger angrily: "Miss, keeping her will only bring trouble, why not..."

"Take her with you."

Wen Qiqi frowned slightly: "If she's alive, we have one more way out."

Fu Xinluo is the daughter of the leader of the Shadow Gang. The Shadow Gang has always had their eyes on the leader...

"Well, miss, let's go down the mountain!"

"it is good!"

When she heard Qiqi and the others walk onto the thatched road, she turned back and pulled over branches of bushes to cover the thatched road...

Going along this road will make you feel much faster and happier.

The people chasing behind couldn't find the way and could only grope their way down the mountain through the bushes.

In front of us is the cemetery that we saw during the day.

Wen Qiqi stopped and stared ahead...

"Miss, it's a will-o'-the-wisp!"

Die Jiu and Xin Yi followed the young lady's gaze and suddenly became nervous.

Sure enough, deep in the cemetery, a flickering light could be vaguely seen...

Old Mrs. Chen panted and whispered, "This is a mass grave."

"You know this place?"

"know."

Old Lady Chen nodded: "Everyone in the village knows that a few years ago, a fierce battle took place in East City, and many soldiers from the capital died. Later, those dead soldiers were buried here..."

"Who buried it?"

"It's the government."

Old Lady Chen said, "Over the years, people in the village have been a little afraid of these graves, so no one has come here... You three said you wanted to visit some friends today... Are you coming here?"

Wen Qiqi nodded: "That's right. Aunt Chen, have you heard that there is a grave keeper living here?"

"There is no grave keeper."

Old Mrs. Chen said, "This is a desolate mountain area, there is no one to guard the graves."

"what?"

Xinyi was so frightened that she forgot to close her mouth.

"Miss... Miss. Then...then they...could they be...ghosts?"

"Don't talk nonsense so late at night. You're scaring the lady!"

Die Jiu glared at Xin Yi, her face also turned pale: "Auntie Chen, you are not the one who was tortured today and you are confused! Think about it carefully, there is really no grave keeper living here?"

"no!"

Old Mrs. Chen said firmly: "I have lived in this village for so many years, how could I not know this. But... there was a family here in the past, and they had a thatched house, but that family has long been extinct. Many years ago, they were attacked by bandits and the whole family was killed..."

"There's a house? No one lives there?"

"Yes……"

Old Mrs. Chen was too weak to talk any more.

She also had doubts in her heart. Diejiu was obviously the young lady, so why did she and Xinyi both call Miss Yang Miss today?

Also, these three girls look so pitiful, how could they be from the capital?

"Go down and see!"

Wen Qiqi looked at Die Jiu and Xinyi calmly: "No matter whether the father and son are human or ghosts, at this time, we can only hide in his house... Otherwise, even if we are not killed by the people of the Shadow Gang, we will be eaten by wild beasts in the middle of the night."

However, she was a little worried that it would implicate others.

"If he is alive, give them some silver and let them leave first... We can't go far with Aunt Chen, so I hope they can help us."
