Jing Yongcheng used his eyes to suppress Tang Shuang's hand and said to her seriously, "You and Dalang should follow the main group. You are responsible for protecting the old lady and the eldest lady."

Frost shook her head stubbornly. She refused to stay no matter what. She still wanted to go find the young master. She regretted not protecting the young master closely this time. If the young master could not be found, she would not live either.

This was not the first time this had happened. She really wanted to beat herself to death. She felt guilty towards the lady and young master in the capital, so she was very persistent.

Tao Jin also shook his head firmly at Tang Shuang: "We are going to fly to the top of the tree so that we can see farther. We can't wait for you."

He had already realized that it was useless to search on foot in this deep forest. Now that it was dark, standing on a high place, he might be able to see some lights or signs of fireworks, which would be more helpful in finding people.

Frosting deflated!

Fortunately, Zhou Wei, who was summoned back not long after, revealed a piece of information to them: "There seems to be a faint light about ten miles to the south. If we hadn't heard the old general's call, we would have arrived in another three or four miles."

Jing Chunxi squatted under the bamboo bushes. The old man urged her for a long time but she didn't get up. Afraid that she had really run away, he walked over impatiently. Jing Chunxi easily killed him with poison.

This time, what was exchanged out from the space was poison. They were small in number, not very powerful, and had no backup. If they were just knocked out, it might cause trouble later. Instead of letting them wake up and then raise their knives against each other, it would be better to deal with them all at once.

Just like her, even if she is tied up with a rope, she may escape, so no trouble can be left behind.

I wanted to go in and untie the ropes on the hands and feet of the other four people, but I felt that Silang was too troublesome and too impulsive. Sometimes he was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

If the two little kids wake up and get scared or cry loudly, something bad might happen. It’s better if they just sleep quietly like they do now.

But she needs a helper.

After thinking of a plan, he went back into the cave and untied the ropes on Shilang's hands and feet, and at the same time gently covered his nose.

"Cousin Xi..." Shilang was knocked unconscious before he could finish his words. He was such a failure as a human being.

Kuroko looked at the young lady with admiration. He also felt that Shiro was a hindrance and a bad teammate, but he was worried that the young lady would also cover his mouth, so there was worry in his eyes.

"Heizi, that old man is outside under the bamboo bushes. Go check and see if he's dead. If he's dead, drag him to a dark place where no one can see him."

"Okay! Cousin Xi!" Heizi now admires this young lady a little. She remains calm in the face of crisis and can always think of a good way to solve it. Now she has easily solved the problem of a person.

Compared to the clumsy Shiro, he was willing to follow her.

After sending Heizi out, Shilang and the two little sleepy pigs were directly put into the space. The ropes were untied for them. They slept in it, which was safe and comfortable, and most importantly, it did not affect her operations outside.

"Heizi, are you scared?"

When he came out and saw Heizi, Jing Chunxi was still a little worried. Although the child was brave, he usually followed adults and had never faced any major danger alone. Now he was asked to deal with a dead person. Jing Chunxi also felt that he was brave, but if he didn't send him out, it would be difficult to accommodate the other three in the cave.

And he is her best helper.

"Don't be afraid!" Heizi shook his head, his eyes shining as he looked at the young lady. The little old man was not too heavy, and although it was a bit difficult, he still stuffed him directly into the bamboo bushes.

"Find the well and the large water tank in the kitchen, put this in them, then find a safe place to hide. Don't come out again until you hear me call."

Heizi has already reached the limit of what he can do. Jing Chunxi doesn't want anything to happen to this cute little guy, otherwise it will be difficult to report to his mother when she comes looking for him. She will have to take care of other things.

"Got it, Cousin Xi!" Heizi was honored to have the mission assigned to him personally by the young lady. Besides, this mission was too small for him, even smaller than that of the old man hidden in the cave.

After Jing Chunxi arranged some details, the two of them went out in different directions. On the left were several low houses, ordinary thatched houses. She guessed that they were kitchens and places for raising livestock.

On the right side of the two bonfires, there are several rows of houses, and they are scattered at different heights. The layout of the houses is also different, but most of them are made of stone. They must be the residence of the thieves. Further to the gate, there are also two thatched houses on the left and right, which should be the residence of the guards.

Jing Chunxi did not walk towards the bonfire, but instead moved behind them and moved step by step towards the highest row of houses. From the highest position, she could see the situation below clearly, and the leader of the bandits must also live in the highest and safest place. She had to get rid of them all from top to bottom, otherwise it would be easy for some to slip through the net.

Catching all these thieves in one fell swoop would give them a better chance of escaping. Otherwise, they might be caught after running a few dozen steps. In the dark and windy weather, it is unlikely that they could sneak out and then escape back to the official road.

"Wuwuwu! Uncle! Please let me go, I'm only ten years old." Jing Chunxi reached the commanding heights of several rows of houses and just looked down a few times when he suddenly heard a familiar female voice.

This voice was so familiar, it must be someone she knew, how could it be? This really, really scared her.

I listened calmly and heard a few more words. It was Jing Mingrong.

Ever since his second aunt secretly took care of Jing Mingrong and often asked the two little dumplings to bring her some food, Jing Chunxi hadn't noticed her for a long time.

Because she was always busy in that house, always doing things silently, cooking by herself, collecting firewood and digging wild vegetables by herself. Today she must have been abducted while collecting firewood or digging bamboo shoots.

But why wasn't she locked up with them? This puzzled her.

"Please let me go, uncle. I'm too young. I can cook and wash clothes for you. I can be your slave. Please let me go."

"Oh, I just like young ones. I bought you from your eldest brother for ten taels of silver. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. You have to serve me well tonight. If you don't behave, I will throw you to the men in the village and torture you to death all night." The man's voice made Jing Chunxi want to vomit. It was too vulgar and too rogue!

Inside, one could hear Jing Mingrong begging for mercy and crying, as well as the sound of clothes being torn. Jing Chunxi did not back down. He had to get rid of this thief and save Jing Mingrong.

She tried to push the door, but the thief was so greedy that he didn't care about anything and started tearing the door apart without even closing it.
