"Master! There are people in this village!"

someone?Yan Zhuangze thought of the group of people he met outside the village, and his heart skipped a beat, leading the soldiers out quickly, followed by Yu An holding the messy clothes.

On the other side, the murderer leader who was searching the village also received a message from his subordinates: "Leader, there are people in the village! It seems to be some villagers."

The leader frowned, and the scar across half of his face became even more ferocious, and his bloody smile made him even more terrifying: "Villagers? Let's go!"

He tightened the big knife in his hand, he was so worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger, but those people came just in time.

Turning a corner, the line of sight suddenly opened up, and the two parties also met at the corner.

Yan Zhuangze looked at the fierce-looking group of people holding knives and guns, he was alert and worried, his eyes stayed on the knives and guns held by these people, it was not any style used by the Yan Kingdom, but it was very similar to the weapons used by the army of the Qing Kingdom .

And when he entered the village, he secretly observed the situation here, and it was eerily quiet, without a breath of living things, only the black smoke at the end of the village indicated that this place was not peaceful.

The empty village, the thick smoke for some reason, Jing Chi's dirty and wet clothes, and the people in front of him who are most likely Qing's minions...

But it made his heart sink.

The leader at the other end also waited for Yan Zhuangze and his party. Although these people were wearing ordinary people's clothes, their temperament and orderly actions did not look like ordinary people at all, let alone those The man still holds a knife and gun that can be seen in the hand!

Have their plans been exposed?He watched the group of people who appeared suddenly vigilantly, and asked in a vicious voice, "Who are you?!"

Yan Zhuangze looked at these gangster-like people with disgust, raised his head and said to the soldiers behind him, "Come on, keep two alive."

"What are you doing? Want to fight?" the leader yelled angrily, all the hostility in his body erupted, and he charged forward with a raised knife: "Kill me!"

At the same time, a small pawn took the opportunity to escape in the dark, trying to go back to report the news, but before he could climb a foot away, a cold light flashed and died.

Yan Zhuangze was now on the sidelines, watching the melee ahead with Yu An indifferently, his eyes stayed on those people's merciless knives for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at the thick smoke coming out not far away.

Could it be Jingchi?He... must be fine.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhuangze moved his feet irritably, and said in a deep voice, "Quick battle!"

As soon as the voice fell, the scene instantly became overwhelming. Although those murderers were reckless and not afraid of death, they were just small soldiers guarding the food after all, and they were not enough to compare with the elite soldiers of the Yan Kingdom.

After a while, there were corpses strewn all over the corner, all belonging to those murderers. Only the leader and a pawn survived, and their limbs were dislocated and collapsed on the ground.

Yan Zhuangze took a look at these two people and ordered decisively: "Arrest them, let's go to the place where the fire started."

The subordinates quickly took out the rope, tied up the two people on the ground and dragged them away. The leader, who was powerless to resist, rolled his eyes wildly, and said with a smirk: "It seems that you are not the ones who set the fire. Why, do you want to find that person?"

Yan Zhuangze glanced at him, turned around and walked to the end of the village first, he first understood what happened here, and then came to question these two people.

It's just that the murderer who looked like the leader looked confident, and seemed to think of something interesting with a strange smile on his face, which made him a little flustered, so he couldn't help but use his internal strength to speed up his pace towards the end of the village.

When they arrived at the cellar, there was only scorched black all over the place, the fire burned the wooden planks at the cellar entrance, and rice flowers kept popping out of it and falling on the snow.

The scorched black smoke dyed the snow around the entrance of the cellar gray and black. Yan Zhuangze looked into the cellar, and saw that the contents inside were almost completely burnt, but the remaining slag was still glowing. .

Obviously, it has been burning here for more than a while.

He remembered the heavy snow in the morning, even people couldn't see clearly, and the thick smoke was probably covered by the snow, so these people only discovered the abnormality now, so that they happened to meet them.

He looked around and found no one else. He walked up to those two people before, raised his foot and kicked the leader, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened in the village and who set it on fire? Tell the truth!"

"You really don't know." The leader knew that he might not escape today, but he was not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he said grumpily, "You want to find the person who set the fire? You really know each other, but... hehehe, It's too late!"

in the forest.

Chi Jin and Xia Mian hid in this depression to rest their feet, and after taking out some dry food in the package, Xia Mian urged: "Master, let's go back quickly, although you are in good health, but...you can't suffer her after all. .”

Of course, she was talking about the baby in her stomach. You must know that the child needs nutrition most now, and Chi Jin also felt that he was getting less and less full, so he nodded with deep feeling: "Okay, let's go back first, I thought This time I was able to hunt wild animals and eat meat... I will come again when I have a chance."

Xia Mian hugged the child tightly with lingering fear: "I don't want to come here anymore."

Chi Jin smiled, thinking about it too: "If you don't come, then don't come. I will settle down in Tai'an City in the future, start a small business to make money, and have everything I want to eat."

Xia Mian nodded heavily. The past two days really frightened her. Even though she had seen many human relationships with human traffickers when she was a child, but...it was the first time she saw the whole village suffer from human disasters, and her heart was heavier than ever before. .

That incident was like a boulder pressing on her heart, making her breathless, waking up from her dreams every night, and she didn't know when she would be able to get rid of the shadow. It can only be said that this incident was too shocking and ugly.

And why not Chi Jin?

He stood up heavily, brushed off the snowflakes on his clothes, subconsciously looked in the direction of the village with desolate and sad eyes, but saw a few small black spots moving at the foot of the next mountain, and they seemed to be heading in their direction !

It's people, those people are catching up.

Chi Jin's eyes darkened. Fortunately, this place is still far away from that side, so that people can only see a little black shadow. He and Xia Mian still have plenty of time.

But now this road can't be taken. He and Xia Mian still have a child with them, so they can't walk fast. If they go to Tai'an City along the original route, they will definitely be caught up.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Xia Mian picked up Hua Hua and followed his line of sight, but those black spots had already entered the mountain range and disappeared.

Chi Jin shook his head, looked around, then turned to the depths of the mountain forest and said, "Someone is chasing us, we may have to go in another direction."

It was snowing again in the sky, and after a while, the figures of Chi Jin and Xia Mian had disappeared in this area. They decided to go to the depths of the mountain forest, bypass this mountain and pass through another mountain, and go to Xian'an City next door first. settle down.

Half an hour after they left, a group of people in strange clothes and rough behavior chased to the place where Chi Jin was resting before. At this time, Xiaoxue gradually stopped in the sky, but the original footprints on the ground had disappeared.

These criminals chased after them for more than half an hour, and they were exhausted. After checking around, they found that there was still no sign of anyone passing by, and they immediately punched the tree trunk beside them in anger.

The snow on the tree fell, and the person whose head was hit by the snow suddenly gritted his teeth even more: "Where did this person go?!"

Another person leaned against the big tree and said out of breath: "Maybe we are chasing in the wrong direction, and people are not here at all." No one was seen along the way.

The man shook the snow on his forehead and said with a chuckle, "You dare to go back? It's no wonder the leader didn't beat you to death!"

The words were to the point, everyone nodded silently in their hearts, sighed helplessly and stood up straight, so they had no choice but to continue chasing, no matter if they chased until they couldn't catch up, it was better than going back and being punished.

The man who seemed to be in the lead picked up the long knife stuck in the ground, and said, "Let's go, keep looking, it's best if you find it, and if you can't find us... there are people!"

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of someone approaching behind him from the corner of his eye. Could it be the person who set the fire?

"Be alert quickly!" Several people formed a semicircle nervously, looking in the direction of the movement, only to realize that those people came from the way they came!

How could there be someone behind?Before they could figure it out, all the people in the woods were revealed, and after seeing clearly, these murderers felt a chill in their hearts.

Seeing this, the leader secretly said: It's over.

There were only eight people on their side, and there were more than a dozen people in the later team, and they still carried long swords. They were full of energy and uniform, and they were not easy to deal with!

The leader threatened with a long sword: "Who are you?!"

An Er came with a group of soldiers. After looking at the group of people in front of him, he quickly looked around. There was no sign of Jing Chi or signs of a fight. He stopped hesitating immediately and ordered with his long sword, "Go!"

Immediately, all the people behind him mobilized to capture and kill those criminals with an overwhelming force.

An Er looked at the few people who were tied up and gagged on the ground, and frowned in disgust: "Take it back, and the others will continue to search in this direction with me."

"Yes!" Two soldiers quickly came out of the queue, dragging the four living murderers back with each hand.

Soon after, they returned to the village and found Yan Zhuangze to report: "Return to the emperor, we took care of the team in the direction of the mountains and forests, but we didn't find any trace of Jing Chi."

Yan Zhuangze said in a deep voice, "Continue."

"Yes!"

After the two men went down with the four thugs, Yan Zhuangze and Yu An looked at the things on the table and looked at each other. Jing Chi's clothes, oiled paper with the logo of Yu An Medical Center, a broken arrow that fell, and there was no donkey at the entrance of the village. The plank...

All of them showed that Jing Chi had been here, and it was very likely that Jing Chi set fire to the cellar after he found out about the village.

Yan Zhuangze punched the table and made a dull sound. He was worried and angry and said, "Why is he so reckless! What if he was discovered by those gangsters without heavy snow cover?!"

This is even more dangerous than him following Concubine Jin, you must know that those people seem to be bandits, but they are actually minions of the Qing army!

Half an hour ago, they learned from the leader that the arsonist had escaped, and several teams of those murderers had already chased after them. Yan Zhuangze immediately asked his own people to follow suit!

Even if Jing Chi can't be found, those who are chasing after him must be eliminated to prevent Jing Chi from getting into trouble.

Yu An quietly squeezed a few drug residues in his hand, and comforted Yan Zhuangze: "Don't worry, as long as those people don't catch up, nothing will happen to Jing Chi."

In fact, he was also very disturbed. In the kitchen, he found the residue of the anti-abortion medicine he gave Jing Chi. This is the pharmacy continued by his ancestors. Some medicines are very special, and most people don't know how to use them.

I don't know what's going on with Jing Chi, he's not good at taking care of himself in this world of ice and snow.

"But the Qing Kingdom is not limited to such people." As long as Jing Chi is not found for a day, Yan Zhuangze will not feel at ease. He picked up the broken arrows and dirty clothes on the table, got up and said, "Leave a few people in the village to keep watch." , let's go back to Tai'an City first, if Jing Chi escapes, we will definitely go back, if we haven't found anyone in three days... I'll look for it myself."

Yu An nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I hope I can find it. If I can't, I'll follow." He still hasn't forgotten his original intention of following, always guarding against Yan Zhuangze's disadvantage to Jing Chi after the truth is revealed.

He couldn't just watch his friend fall into another desperate situation just after he got out of danger. Thinking about it, it was really thrilling and a headache.

Now let's pray that Chi Jin is safe.

On the other side, after Chi Jin led Xia Mian into the depths of the mountain forest, it was like a fish entering the ocean, making it difficult to find people. Looking for someone in this mountain without boundaries is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

But for Chi Jin and Xia Mian, this is the safest and most reassuring way.

After strenuously walking for an afternoon, the sky was about to darken, and a light snow fell in the sky, and they barely stopped their progress.

Xia Mian took over from Chi Jin, took the Huahua in his hand, looked up at the tall trees all around, and asked anxiously: "Master, where have we been?"

Panting heavily, Chi Jin leaned on the trunk, heard the words and raised his head, the sun was about to set, and he could vaguely tell that they were on the south side of the mountain, but if he had to wait until it was dark, he would be so blind , and it is definitely not so safe in the mountains after dark.

Looking around again, there are almost exactly the same big trees, exactly the same road... His expression froze for a moment, and he said seriously: "I think we may be about to get lost."

When the sun goes down and night falls, they really can't tell the direction, even if they can tell... They don't know where they are now, and which direction to go back to.

Xia Mian was startled, and anxiously asked: "Then what should we do? How should we get out?"

Chi Jin scratched his head, but touched the bamboo hat on his head, helplessly and guiltyly said: "I don't know, let's find a safe place to rest tonight, and walk in one direction tomorrow, we should be able to get out."

Xia Mian stared, and heard the hesitation in Chi Jin's words. She had no choice but to do what Chi Jin said after humming twice. In the barren mountains and mountains, even a rabbit is...

"Rabbit!" She suddenly looked at a snowy slope in surprise and exclaimed in a low voice. The rabbit was very vigilant, and when it heard any movement, it gave up the grass roots in the snow and ran away!

When Chi Jin heard this, his eyes lit up, his ears moved, and without looking at the rabbit, he picked up the sleeve arrow and shot at it.

"squeak--"

Seeing that he was shot, Chi Jin happily ran up the snowy slope, pulled out the broken arrow, grabbed the rabbit's ear, and said pleasantly, "Xia Mian, we have meat tonight, hurry up..." Come on.

Before he could utter the words, he saw a few people coming from behind Xuepo, beating around with something like a stick, coming towards them.

After hearing Chi Jin's voice, those people even gave up beating in their hands and walked quickly towards the snow slope.

Xia Mian from behind ran over and looked at the rabbit in Chi Jin's hand with glowing eyes. When she raised her head and was about to say that it was roasted tonight, she caught sight of the group of people in front of her.

The smile on his face froze immediately, the hand holding Hua Hua couldn't help tightening, looking at the group of people tremblingly said: "Master, son, there is someone."

The originally happy atmosphere froze in an instant, Huahua felt Xia Mian's tension, and hugged Xia Mian's neck tightly in fear, she missed her mother so much.

Chi Jin grabbed the rabbit's ears and looked solemnly at the approaching people. He nodded heavily and said, "Well, it's a disaster victim."

Those people also saw Chi Jin clearly, and a young man at the head shouted with a wooden stick: "Who is in front? Are they also fleeing victims?"
