After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

"Good! Look at that woman surnamed Yan, she looks like a vixen, she's no good person, she really is a witch."

"Thank you, deities! Thank you, deities, for protecting us all!"

"Since the immortals have given us a warning, we absolutely cannot let this demoness go."

"Yes, yes, yes! Burn her!"

"Let's go find her now!"

The group of people's faces revealed their ferocity.

They turned around and rushed out of their aunt's house, heading out in a grand procession to find Yan Niannian, intending to burn this scourge of a man to death.

Just then, we ran into the village chief and his group.

Now the team is even bigger.

……

The mountain roads are already rugged and difficult to travel, let alone areas that villagers don't usually come to.

It's dark again now.

Therefore, the three of them had a difficult journey.

Every step was taken with extreme care.

Just then, Yan Niannian slipped, lost her balance, and fell straight down the mountain. "Ah!"

"Niannian, be careful!"

Zhuo Yuchen was shocked and quickly reached out his long arm to pull the person into his arms.

He held her tightly around the waist, his heart pounding, his handsome face deathly pale.

He was genuinely startled by what happened so suddenly.

Leaning against Zhuo Yuchen's broad and warm chest, Yan Niannian's long eyelashes trembled twice, and her tense emotions gradually calmed down.

only……

Zhuo Yuchen was holding her so tightly that she couldn't breathe.

"Zhuo Yuchen, let go of me first!" Yan Niannian gently patted Zhuo Yuchen's shoulder.

Only then did Zhuo Yuchen release her.

Then, he quickly bent down to check Yan Niannian's legs and feet.

I don't know if she got hurt when she suddenly tripped over it.

The next moment, Zhuo Yuchen's pupils dilated sharply, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, Niannian, you're bleeding!"

As expected, she was injured.

A gash was cut on my ankle, and blood was gushing out.

"Really?" Yan Niannian was slightly taken aback, and then her gaze followed that direction.

She remained relatively calm when she saw the blood.

Yan Niannian gasped in shock after just one movement, “Hiss!”

It really hurts!

"Niannian, let me carry you on my back."

Seeing this, Zhuo Yuchen didn't say a word, and before Yan Niannian could even come to her senses, he carried her on his back.

"Need not……"

After struggling for a moment, Yan Niannian hurriedly said.

To everyone's surprise, Zhuo Yuchen hugged her even tighter, his tone insistent, "Niannian, trust me!"

“I…” A bitter smile appeared on Yan Niannian’s lips.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Zhuo Yuchen, but rather that she was afraid of dragging him down.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, and now, with her as an added burden on his back, he was even more exhausted.

Putting aside whether they can walk fast or not, just considering her safety, what if Zhuo Yuchen slips and has an accident?

only……

Zhuo Yuchen didn't give her a chance to say these words. He glanced at Xiao Jun and asked, "How much longer until we reach the path you found?"

"We're...we'll be there soon," Xiao Jun said hurriedly.

Zhuo Yuchen didn't say anything and continued walking forward with Yan Niannian on his back.

Clinging to Zhuo Yuchen's back, Yan Niannian subconsciously turned her head and glanced back.

In the countryside at night, the mountains are shrouded in deep shadows.

It was black and thick like ink.

The horizon is as far as the eye can see.

It looked just like a monster with its jaws wide open, eager to devour all the beautiful wishes of the world.

Yan Niannian frowned subconsciously.

Perhaps influenced by her surroundings, she seemed particularly heavy-hearted.

A vague, uneasy feeling always lingered in my mind.

"Niannian, we've arrived!"

After a while, Zhuo Yuchen's slightly joyful, low, husky voice rang in Yan Niannian's ear.

Then, Zhuo Yuchen put her down and carefully supported her arm.

They carefully protected her.

Yan Niannian stared intently.

They were standing at the highest point of the mountain, where a small path could be faintly seen among the rocks.

Once you reach the end of this path, you can leave.

Get out of this damn place!

Very good!

Yan Niannian turned her head and exchanged a glance with Zhuo Yuchen, then smiled at each other.

"Niannian, let's go!" Zhuo Yuchen took Yan Niannian's small hand.

The winding path was steep and dangerous, and he had to protect her carefully.

“Okay!” Yan Niannian nodded.

But before they could even take a step together, a cacophony of curses suddenly erupted from behind them.

"Look! That bitch is over there!"

"Don't let her get away."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Once I catch him, I'll see how I kill him."

The two of them froze at the same time and turned to look.

Then, the village chief, He Baoli, and Xiaojun's grandmother led the villagers in a hurried pursuit.

Everyone was baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, each holding a torch.

The flickering flames merged into one, illuminating half the sky and clearly reflecting those hideous faces.

"You treacherous little beast, I'll kick you to death!"

As she got closer, Grandma Xiaojun raised her leg and kicked him.

With fierce determination and without mercy, he kicked Xiaojun hard in the stomach.

"Ow!"

Xiao Jun let out a miserable scream.

The small figure fell heavily, its head hitting a sharp rock.

Fresh blood gushed out immediately, covering his face.

She was trembling and looked utterly pitiful.

But his relatives were completely unmoved and extremely indifferent. They didn't even bother to check on his injuries, let alone give him a second glance.

Zhuo Yuchen's gaze darkened.

He instinctively took a step forward, stood in front of Yan Niannian, and shielded her behind him.

He glared at everyone with a cold look, looking down on each villager.

His powerful aura was immediately apparent, emanating continuously.

The night seemed even colder.

The villagers, who had been shouting and bragging louder than the last, rubbed their dry lips and their arrogance immediately wilted when they met Zhuo Yuchen's cold gaze.

Although they outnumbered each other, it did not diminish their deep-seated fear.

No one dared to step forward.

The atmosphere was tense and eerie.

"Hey! He Baoli, you're the one who caused all this trouble. Shouldn't you make a statement now?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shoved He Baoli.

He Baoli staggered forward a step.

He Baoli glared at the man, his nose almost crooked with anger.

hateful!

If he's so capable, why doesn't he do it himself?

Instead, they pushed him out.

"I have an upset stomach and I'm feeling weak..." He Baoli naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to be the one to stick his neck out, so he spoke after a few twitches of his lips.

"What stomach upset? I think you're just lying!"

"Exactly, He Baoli, are you scared? There's only one person on the other side, but there are so many of us. Are you going to cower like a turtle?"

"Come on! Don't insult a coward like him. Does He Baoli, with his pathetic appearance, deserve it?"

"Exactly! In my opinion, he's a complete and utter piece of trash!"

Once someone took the lead, others followed suit and pointed their fingers at Ho Po-lee.

Who told him to cause all this trouble!

He should atone for his sins and should be the one to stand up for him.
