Following the thatched road, Wen Qiqi and his group finally found the thatched hut where the masked man and his father lived. There was no light in the house and the yard was also pitch black.

"Maybe he's asleep. You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look."

Wen Qiqi handed Fu Xinluo to Die Jiu and hurried into the yard.

When he reached the eaves, he gently knocked on the leaky wooden door.

No one inside responded.

She asked, "Brother, I was here today. My name is Qiqi. We are in trouble. Can you help us?"

The room is still very quiet...

Wen Qiqi's heart suddenly turned cold.

Old Mrs. Chen could no longer walk, and even with Diejiu and Xinyi supporting her, she was almost collapsed from exhaustion.

The gang behind them was getting closer and closer. At their current speed, they would soon be caught up...

"Brother, I know I'm causing you trouble, but if I had no other choice, I would never bother you two so late at night. I'll give you some money, and I'll buy this house... ok?"

"Big brother..."

Wen Qiqi begged, but there was still no response from the room.

She sighed helplessly. This kind of thing cannot be forced. If the father and son don't want to help, they can't stay in this yard for long.

Otherwise, if the people behind catch up here, it will cause trouble for the father and son.

"never mind!"

Wen Qiqi hardened her heart. If this was her fate tonight, there was nothing she could do about it.

"Then... Qiqi, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

She could understand the father and son's reluctance to help. After all, it was late at night, and she and her group were hiding here, and the father and son were going to leave overnight...

Although the father and son were very familiar with the terrain here, they could just find a place to hide and wait until dawn.

Those people were not hunting them and their son, so they were not in danger...

But the other person didn't want to help, so Wen Qiqi had to turn around and leave.

The night is pitch black!

Her heart was also confused, not knowing what her fate would be.

"Let's go!"

Wen Qiqi walked to the door and looked at Die Jiu and Xinyi.

Die Jiu strangled Fu Xinluo and stared at Wen Qiqi with wide eyes: "That masked brother won't help us?"

Although they had only met by chance, the three of them felt that the big brother would not be so cold-blooded.

"If we hide here, they will be in danger. If they give us their house... they will have to go down the mountain in the dark! Although they are familiar with the mountain road and will not be discovered, but... it is the dead of night and I can't see, so it is understandable that they don't want to help."

Seeing Qiqi so depressed, Fu Xinluo sneered in her throat.

Die Jiu had stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth so she couldn't shout, but her laughter was very cold, and it was even more creepy when it came from her throat.

"What are you laughing at? Fu Xinluo, what we are experiencing today is all because of you!"

Die Jiu said fiercely: "If your sister Die Jiu can still see the sun tomorrow, she will definitely cut your neck."

Fu Xinluo was still laughing, and that laughter made Die Jiu upset.

"You're still laughing! I made you laugh..."

"Butterfly Nine!"

Wen Qiqi lowered her voice and said, "She is stalling for time on purpose. Don't fall into her trap. Go!"

"Yes!"

The group was about to leave when they heard a voice suddenly come from behind them: "Is it you?"

Wen Qiqi was startled, and suddenly clenched the dagger and turned around, but he vaguely saw the masked man supporting the octogenarian walking towards the cemetery.

She was immediately overjoyed, because it turned out that the father and son were not in the room just now.

"Big brother!"

Die Jiu's nose felt sore: "Brother, help! We are being chased! Can we hide in your house tonight..."

"cannot!"

The octogenarian shouted angrily, "If I had known you were troublemakers, you would have come to thank me in the daytime in a pretentious manner, but now you've gotten yourself into trouble in just a short while!"

"Master, your words are too harsh! If we were not desperate, we would not beg you, who is so difficult to talk to."

Die Jiu muttered in a very low voice.

Unexpectedly, the octogenarian heard it clearly!

"You stupid girl, I may be blind, but I'm not deaf. If you don't want to beg me, get out of here!"

Seeing that the octogenarian was about to kick him out, the masked man said, "Okay, stop wasting time and let's talk inside."

"Thank you very much!"

Wen Qiqi looked at the man, bowed deeply, and was about to lead everyone into the yard.

The octogenarian held his walking stick horizontally and said, "No! They are in trouble. Their life or death has nothing to do with us. If you meddle in other people's business, get out with them!"

"My father has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

The masked man stepped forward and helped to support Old Lady Chen: "Just go into the house, I will persuade my father."

Wen Qiqi didn't care about anything else and quickly led everyone into the yard. The old man fumbled angrily and opened the door of the thatched hut, and everyone hurried in.

"Don't hold the lamp."

The man whispered, “If the people chasing you are not familiar with the terrain, they may not find my house.”

"kindness!"

Wen Qiqi nodded, and everyone finally got a break. Old Lady Chen said her mouth was dry, so Die Jiu asked, "Can you give us a drink of water?"

"it is good!"

The masked man went to the well outside, got a wooden bucket of water, walked a few steps with it, and suddenly stopped in the yard.

Wen Qiqi was stunned, and quickly asked everyone to stop talking, and walked quickly to the masked man.

"Big brother..."

"Don't make a sound!"

The man covered Wen Qiqi's mouth and listened carefully for a moment. Then he handed the bucket to Wen Qiqi and said, "Drink some water first."

"Aren't you coming in with us?"

"My father and I were planning to move out tomorrow morning, but we haven't packed up some things yet. Please come in."

He handed the bucket to Wen Qiqi and quickly walked to the back of the house. Wen Qiqi did not dare to delay and returned to the house carrying the bucket.

Old Mrs. Chen drank a few sips of water before she felt like she was alive again.

Wen Qiqi and the other two also drank a bowl each. Fu Xinluo struggled and kept making sounds in her throat.

The octogenarian suddenly grabbed Wen Qiqi and said, "Tell me the truth, you kidnapped someone, didn't you?"

"Master, she wanted to kill us, and the people chasing us are all her people."

Die Jiu whispered, "We will not kill innocent people. But she...she has been raised in our house for seven years, and in the end she turned her kindness into enmity! Today, she even brought people to murder the young lady..."

“What a mess!”

The octogenarian shook his head, walked to the broken window and stood there quietly.

"They...are not far away!"

Wen Qiqi knew that blind people have particularly sensitive ears, and this octogenarian was no exception.

"If I heard correctly, they have found the path... If they follow the path down, they will definitely see my house."

There is some moonlight tonight, and the thatched cottage and courtyard are vaguely visible!
