It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

On the other side, the killer in black who fell into the big pit was wailing, and the men in black who rushed up later had to be much more careful.

They carefully avoided the traps, some of them continued to move forward, while the others reached out to rescue their companions in the pit.

Seeing more and more black-clad killers gathering, the leader of the guards waved his hand and the guards hiding on the roofs poured out the oil in their hands, which instantly soaked the men in black.

Before they could react, the leader of the guards fired the first arrow.

Because simple bamboo arrows are not as lethal as those with iron arrowheads, but after such transformation, their lethality is indeed quite great.

The ignited arrow and the oil-stained clothes instantly caught fire.

The black-clad killers were forced by the sudden flames to ignore killing the enemy and could only roll on the ground, trying to put out the raging fire on their bodies. The wailing sounds rose one after another, echoing through the night sky.

This chaotic scene provided the guards lurking on the eaves with an excellent opportunity to attack.

The arrows soaked in itching powder by Song Zhi pierced into the flesh, and the unbearable itching quickly spread along the wound, causing them unbearable pain and instantly losing their fighting power.

Inside the courtyard, wailing and chaos were intertwined, and those men in black who had not yet stepped into the courtyard immediately realized that the situation was not good after witnessing the ambush on the roof.

The leading man in black quickly gestured, signaling the team to stop moving forward.

They quickly adjusted their strategy, no longer charging blindly, but dispersing instead.

Some people continued to approach the courtyard, trying to attract attention.

The other part quietly dispersed and began to set up new ambushes on the walls and under the shadows of trees around the courtyard, using the surrounding cover.

Almost in an instant, the archers among the men in black appeared quietly. The arrows in their hands were far more powerful than the bamboo arrows used by the guards.

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a dense rain of arrows poured down from the night sky, heading straight for the guards on the roof.

Although the guards occupied an advantageous position, they had to temporarily avoid the fierce rain of arrows.

They quickly crawled on the roof to avoid the first attack.

But after dodging the first attack, the killer in black jumped onto the roof and started fighting with the guards.

The guards relied on their familiarity with the terrain and the cover of night to nimbly dodge the arrows. At the same time, they knew in their hearts that they were far from being able to compete with the enemy, not only in terms of strength but also in numbers.

Therefore, they did not linger in the battle, but fought and retreated, and soon disappeared into the night with the help of the cover of night.

The black-clad killers waited for a moment, and seeing that there was no movement on the roof, they walked into the yard cautiously.

The yard was in a mess, with companions lying on the ground and wailing everywhere. The enemies who were originally ambushing on the roof had also disappeared.

Although the men in black had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to be careless. They quickly searched the yard.

After searching all the houses, the assassin in black hurriedly reported, "Boss, there's no one in the manor."

At this moment, a nameless anger surged in Chen Guanshi's heart. He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Search! Search thoroughly! Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must find the person! I don't believe that he can just disappear into thin air!"

The man in black responded immediately, quickly lit the torch, and carefully searched every corner.

Not long after, a man in black noticed that the flowers and plants at the foot of the wall had obviously been trampled on.

He immediately reported this important clue to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen narrowed his eyes and examined the trampled area, already having a plan in mind.

Zhuangzi was always under close surveillance by his men, and it was impossible for him to be unaware if someone escaped.

Therefore, he concluded that this person must have just run away.

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed in Manager Chen's eyes. He quickly gathered his men and said, "Chase!"

At a command, the man in black quickly chased after the messy footprints.

The footprints meandered all the way and finally pointed to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

However, it was dark at night and the forest was dense, so it was obviously very difficult to enter the mountains to capture people. Manager Chen's face became increasingly gloomy.

"Set fire! Burn the mountain!"

Flames at the foot of the mountain shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating half the sky.

Song Zhi and others who were hiding in the mountains were shocked when they saw this scene.

Song Zhi really didn't expect that these people could find out that they were hiding in the mountains so quickly, but this was not the time to think about these things. The forest fire burned very quickly and it was beyond human power to avoid.

She quickly pulled Ivana beside her and said anxiously, "Hurry up! The wildfire has started, let's get down the mountain quickly."

"Miss, why don't we go to the other side of the mountain? It's more sheltered from the wind, and maybe the fire won't get through."

"If you can think of these things, do you think those people can't think of them?"

"Since they chose to set the mountain on fire, why would they only light one spot? If we blindly climbed over to the other side of the mountain, we would find that place was also on fire."

"By then, they won't need to do anything. We will be trapped on this mountain, either engulfed in flames or fainted by the thick smoke."

"Why not just take advantage of the fact that the fire is not big now and the other party has dispersed their forces to set fire? Let's choose a place to slip away and maybe we can find a glimmer of hope."

Everyone was persuaded by her once again, and they decided to give it a try. Taking advantage of the cover of the flames, they quickly evacuated down the mountain.

Heat waves came one after another. This time, they had no time to care about whether they would be discovered. They only wanted to escape from the dense forest before the flames devoured everything.

However, fate did not seem to be entirely on their side.

The noise of running eventually alarmed a group of men in black who were setting fires everywhere.

They shouted, "The man is over there!"

The guard who escaped down the mountain immediately started fighting with the man in black.

Song Zhi held Wang Wanzhi's hand tightly and moved forward desperately.

The sounds of weapons clashing and fighting were endless behind me.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, to run into the night and hide in the darkness, so that they would be temporarily safe.

Finally, when they escaped the flames rising from the mountain below and disappeared into the night, Wang Wanyi stepped on empty air and lost her balance, and they both fell into the field.

Song Zhi immediately got up from the ground and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you okay? It's not safe here. We have to leave quickly."

Wang Wanzhi's face was filled with pain, and she said in a suppressed tone, "Sister, I sprained my ankle. Please leave quickly and don't worry about me."

Song Zhi's heart tightened, but she did not hesitate for a moment. She quickly squatted down, used all her strength to carry Wang Wanzhi on her back, and continued to run forward.

He was used to doing farm work, and he had been eating well recently, so he still had enough strength to carry a woman of similar age on his back.

But doing so would not only slow down the speed a lot, but would also make it easy for the enemy to catch up.

Wang Wanzhi cried to Song Zhi, "Sister, please put me down quickly. This way, neither of us can escape."

"Don't worry, sister. I remember there's a haystack up ahead. I'll put you there first and then find some other place to hide."

If you place people directly in a field where they are in plain sight, once they are discovered by the enemy, they will have no chance of survival!
