My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

"Master, be careful!"

Upon seeing the man in black appear, Xu Ping'an had no choice but to abandon Han Ping and protect Xu Wuyan.

Xu Wuyan, however, narrowed his eyes dangerously.

What exactly is the Han family planning?

Seeing the man in black rushing towards him, Xu Wuyan turned his head:

"Xu Mengxian, when I tell you to run, just keep running forward. You'll be safe when you get back to the post station. Remember that."

Xu Mengxian shook her head as tears streamed down her face. "Brother, what about you?"

Xu Wuyan did not answer her question because the men in black had already attacked this place.

He dodged to the side and snatched the knife from one of the men in black with his bare hands.

With a counter-swipe, he forced the man in black back, and shouted:

"Run!"

As he swung his knife again, he charged forward to meet the attack.

He and Xu Pingan stopped all the men in black.

Xu Mengxian's eyes were blurred with tears. She glanced sadly at her older brother, who was surrounded by men in black, and then turned and ran into the darkness ahead.

Her presence here will only be a burden to her elder brother.

She needs to go back to find someone to save her older brother.

But she hadn't run far when she saw Han Dashan, and her face lit up with joy. She was just about to ask him for help.

But the thought of Han Ping made her back away in fear.

The Han family wants to kill their eldest brother.

Han Dashan is definitely not here with good intentions.

She couldn't let the Han family catch her, so Xu Mengxian quickly rushed away.

Han Dashan was in hot pursuit.

Due to the significant difference in physical strength between men and women, Xu Mengxian was quickly caught up and captured.

"Let me go!" Xu Mengxian said angrily.

He grabbed the other person's arm hard with his left hand, trying to make the other person release him because of the pain.

“Miss, I don’t want to hurt you. So, if you don’t want to get hurt, stop struggling.” Han Dashan frowned and impatiently waved her hand away.

"I bother!"

Xu Mengxian blushed with anger, "Don't pretend to be nice to me."

"You've all come here tonight because of my eldest brother, and it was all my maternal grandfather's doing, wasn't it?"

"Tell me, what do you intend to do to my elder brother?"

Han Dashan didn't say anything; the Xu family was indeed not stupid.

Just now.

"Han Dashan, let her go!"

Xu Wuyan caught up, staring coldly at Han Dashan:

"Dare to hurt her, Han Dashan, I will make sure you die a horrible death."

At this moment, Xu Ping'an also arrived beside Xu Wuyan.

He had many wounds on his body, and the blood stained the clothes around the wounds, making him look extremely disheveled.

The men in black also came after them.

Xu Mengxian shook her head with red eyes, "Big brother, don't worry about me."

"You must leave quickly, they're after you, and your grandfather..."

"Ahhh!"

Before she could finish speaking, Han Dashan grabbed her by the neck, causing her to scream in pain.

"If you want to live, shut up, don't force me to take action." Han Dashan said angrily.

Then he looked at Xu Wuyan:

"Young Master, if you don't want anything to happen to Miss, you should end your own life."

After you take your own life, I will release Miss Biao.

Xu Mengxian stared wide-eyed at Han Dashan. How dare he let her brother end his own life?

How dare he?

Xu Mengxian was furious; she would rather die than let him have his way.

She turned to look at Xu Wuyan:

"Brother, take care, and I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he slammed into Han Dashan, pulling him down the hillside behind him.

"Xiaoxian!"

Xu Wuyan was shocked and rushed over to save the person.

But it was too late.

He was also slashed by the men in black who had chased after him.

Xu Wuyan swept his sword back, forcing the man in black to retreat, and then immediately leaped down.

"Master!"

Xu Pingan was greatly alarmed.

After he dealt with the men in black and rushed down to rescue the person, he couldn't find them.

He had no choice but to come back and ask for help.

……

After Xu Pingan finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, glanced in the direction of the Han family, and said with a stern face:

"Xu Ping'an, stay here to recover from your injuries. The rest of you, come with me to find someone."

When she saw that her mother and Xu Xianyu were about to follow, she couldn't help but pat her head:

"Xianyu, you and my mother stay here. Don't go and cause trouble."

"I can help," Xu Xianyu quickly said.

Lin Mo shook her head:

"No, stay here and guard our things."

If anyone is dishonest, don't hold back.

After saying that, he picked up a stick and threw it to her.

Xu Xianyu reached out and caught the wooden stick, paused for a moment, and then nodded.

Xu Pingan also stood up at this moment:

"Young Madam, my injuries are minor and have been bandaged. I'm fine. I'll go with you to find it. I'll lead the way, which will save some time."

Lin Mo frowned. "Are you sure you can really do it?"

Seeing him nod, Lin Mo then spoke:

"Let's go then."

Then, he led his people outside.

No sooner had I stepped out of the house than I saw Old Wei standing in the yard.

In the darkness, Old Wei, holding a riding whip, was particularly frightening.

"Master Wei, please do me a favor." Lin Mo bowed to him.

"My man is being chased and his whereabouts are unknown. I'm going to take people to find him."

Old Wei glanced at her:

"If they depart at the end of the morning and do not return, they will be treated as fugitives."

"Okay!" Lin Mo nodded, then led the group and quickly walked outside into the night.

A dark glint flashed in Lao Wei's eyes.

Little Liu, who had gotten up to pee at night, came over:

"Brother Wei, why aren't you asleep yet? Did someone go out just now?"

"Okay, I'm going back to sleep." Old Wei nodded.

Xiao Liu yawned, "Ugh, this job was exhausting."

The weather was unusually cold; I wouldn't have gotten up even if you paid me. I should probably avoid drinking so much water before bed in the future. Getting up in the middle of the night in this kind of weather is too much of a hassle.

"Who told you to drink so much?" Old Wei laughed.

Xiao Liu sighed, closed the door, but seeing the empty bed next to him, he couldn't help but scratch his head:

"Where is Qian Zhengchang?"

When I got up, he wasn't in his own bed.

I'm back now, but he's not here.

When I went to the outhouse, there was no one there.

Where did he go so late at night?

"Brother Wei, should I lock the door?"

A dark glint flashed quickly in Old Wei's eyes, and he shook his head:

"Xiao Liu, just ignore him and go to sleep. Don't lock the door."

After saying that, Lao Wei lay down directly.

……

"Young Madam, the young master and the others came down from here." Xu Ping'an led them to the place where they had fought earlier.

On the ground, several corpses dressed in black could be vaguely seen.

The stench of blood, carried by the chilly night wind, kept seeping into their nostrils.

Lin Mo handed out the torches in her hand to them.

The moment the fire was lit, the surrounding darkness was instantly dispelled.

The flames were blown in the same direction by the night wind.

Lin Mo held the lit torch and looked down the hillside:

"After we go down, we'll split up and search. Once we find someone, we'll call out to let them know."

Xu Pinggui and the others nodded.

The hillside was steep and very high, so the group walked very slowly.

Below the hillside is a ditch.

Fortunately, it is winter now, so there is no water inside, and there is a little snow.

The marks on the snow were messy.

It's clear that someone used to be active here.

"The Second Miss and Han Dashan rolled down from here and then headed this way," Xu Ping'an pointed in a direction.

Lin Mo nodded and continued walking forward, where a forest lay ahead.

There was hardly any snow left on the ground, only some snow clinging to the grass and tree branches.

In the dark, it's difficult to find traces.

Lin Mo glanced around and said, "Search separately, and be careful."

Lin Mo glanced at Xu Ping'an, who was panting heavily, and told him to rest there and not to come with them to look for him.

Seeing that he was about to speak, Lin Mo glared at him:

"If you want to leave your life here, I won't stop you."

If you don't want to die, stay here and rest. We'll come back for you when we find someone.

Xu Dapeng nodded in agreement:

"Ping An, listen to the young mistress, you rest here, we'll go find the young master."

Xu Pingan then nodded in agreement.

When everyone split up to search for the person, Xu Dapeng wanted to follow Lin Mo, but Lin Mo refused and told him to look in another direction.

Dawn was approaching, and they didn't have much time left; they had to find the person as soon as possible.

Lin Mo chose a direction and walked forward, holding a torch.

If she finds Xu Wuyan, she'll probably want to strangle him.

Knowing full well that the Han family was plotting against him, yet still being careless—what else could it be but asking for trouble?

Lin Mo took a deep breath and moved forward quickly, calling out Xu Wuyan's name from time to time.

She didn't know how long she called out, until dawn broke, when she heard faint cries and responses coming from ahead.

Lin Moxin was overjoyed; she had found it.

I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

But she hadn't gone far when the pungent smell of blood made her frown.

After taking a few more steps, Lin Moxin was startled, and her pupils contracted slightly.

So many dead people!

They were all men in black, and I estimate there were more than twenty of them.

Moreover, the deaths of these men in black were gruesome; their throats were slit, and their hands and feet were severed.

Even Lin Mo, who was used to seeing dead people, was startled when she saw this scene.

Just now.

A hoarse voice called out from ahead:

"Sister-in-law, is that you?"

"Go away quickly, don't come any closer, it's dangerous!"
