Song Qiu kept his elbows supporting his body and did not dare to move. The hand holding the hatchet soon became soaked in sweat.
Next to her, Zhang Lihua was sleeping soundly. Song Qiu was also glad that this girl did not snore loudly while sleeping. Her slight snores all disappeared with the wind in the bamboo forest.
Song Qiu had been paying attention to the movements outside, and saw those big men in black who didn't know what they were doing. After looking around, they actually sat down on the spot.
Are you planning to take a break here?
Stop it.
Song Qiu's whole body tensed up, fearing that Zhang Lihua would wake up and make some noise at this time, and fear that people outside would suddenly discover them.
She didn't dare to look directly outside, and only occasionally paid attention to the movement with her peripheral vision.
"It seems like they haven't caught up. Let's take a rest and go back to recover."
"Yes, this thing is important. We should go back as soon as possible. The Fifth Master is still waiting for news from us."
Two sounds drifted into his ears along the wind, and Song Qiu's whole body tightened even more.
Just talk, but don't look around when you're full.
He didn't know how long he kept this posture, but Song Qiu felt as if half of his body was numb.
At this moment, the men in black suddenly moved.
"Someone's coming up!"
"Let's go!"
There was a rustling sound, and then a man in a blue uniform jumped over eagerly.
"They're here!"
With this sound, the battle is about to break out.
Song Qiu didn't dare to express her nervousness, and beads of sweat kept falling on her forehead.
All I could see was that the two parties were fighting each other in full swing.
A spurt of blood spurted out, splashing all over the bamboo. Song Qiu lowered his head hard and felt as if two drops of blood had jumped onto his face as if they were floating across the ocean.
The man in black, with his legs in the air and blood gushing all over his body, had his head turned to one side, and a pair of dead eyes staring in this direction.
Song Qiu trembled, not sure whether the man was dead or not, but the way the man stared at her was so terrifying that she felt like she had nothing to hide.
She quickly lowered her head and put her whole face against the bamboo forest. When she turned her head, she saw Zhang Lihua's eyelids moving slightly, fearing that she was about to wake up.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, she covered her mouth and made a silencing gesture to her when she opened her eyes and looked at her in surprise.
Zhang Lihua was puzzled, but she blinked and said she understood.
Song Qiu then let her go, pointed outside, and asked her to listen with her ears.
Zhang Lihua listened attentively, and then she heard the sound of swords clashing and fighting outside, and she was immediately paralyzed with fear.
"Aqiu, what happened?" she said silently.
"Don't be afraid, as long as we don't make a sound, they can't see us." Song Qiu was also very scared, but she acted very calmly, holding Zhang Lihua tightly with one hand to tell her not to be afraid.
Zhang Lihua nodded, but she didn't dare to move. Even if a fart wanted to pop out, she suppressed it hard and made it a dumb fart.
The fighting outside continued, followed by multiple screams, and then became quiet for a long time.
"All dead?" someone said.
"There are six in total, many of them, and they are all here. There are no survivors left!"
"They all have a death wish. They are looking for murder. It is difficult to survive. Forget it, have you found anything?"
"I searched them and found nothing."
"...That's it, let's find a place to bury them first, then go back and ask the master for instructions!"
"yes!"
Then came the rustling sound, and then the sound of distant footsteps.
After at least another quarter of an hour, Song Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, slowly raised his head, moved his weak feet first, and tried to sit up.
"Aqiu, are they gone?" Zhang Lihua whispered, covering her right leg with one hand. Apparently, that leg was numb.
Song Qiu looked outside and saw that it was quiet outside. There was nothing but bamboos.
But the faint smell of blood mixed with the breeze and heat waves in the air can prove everything just now.
"Let's go." Song Qiu sat up, gently rubbed his legs with his hands, and relaxed for a while before getting up and going outside.
Zhang Lihua followed behind, her curiosity popping out. It was at this time that she dared to say, "Who are these people? They kill people at every turn. It's really..."
Ordinary people, have you ever seen this?
My neck felt cold, which was a blessing to have saved my life.
"I heard what he said, Qiu, did you hear it?"
Song Qiu pursed her lips, looked at her and said, "Lihua, curiosity killed the cat, let's just pretend we don't know anything about everything today, do you understand?"
Zhang Lihua has always listened to Song Qiu very much. Hearing this, she knew how powerful he was and nodded hastily, "I know, don't worry, Ah Qiu, I won't tell you!"
"Okay, let's put on our backpacks and leave here."
Zhang Lihua nodded and hurriedly turned around to get the backpacks for the two of them.
Song Qiu lowered his eyes and saw something inadvertently.
That location happened to be not far from where the man in black was lying with his eyes open. It was covered by a few broken bamboo shells, so you really couldn't see it unless you looked carefully.
However, Song Qiu happened to be able to see that corner from his current position.
Thinking about what those people said just now, Song Qiu didn't dare to touch the thing, but somehow, subconsciously and without thinking, she had already walked over and picked it up.
At first glance, the thing didn't look like a valuable thing. Instead, it was a bit worn. It was made of copper, and there were rust spots on the surface.
If it hadn't been for a very shallow fresh bloody fingerprint on it, Song Qiu would have thought that this thing had been covered in dust for a long time.
He thought about how his body seemed to squirm several times when the dead-eyed man was chopped and flew towards him.
Is this what those people didn’t find in their mouths just now?
"Aqiu, let's go quickly!"
Song Qiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and just as she was thinking about what to do, Zhang Lihua came out with a backpack on her back, and she subconsciously put her things away quickly.
Song Qiu didn't think about what to do with this thing. Even after picking up half of the basket of mountain fungi, his mind suddenly became excited. When he woke up, he immediately secretly buried the thing on the spot, pretending that he had never seen it before.
She kept thinking about the previous events in her mind. Those people were so neat and tidy that they killed six people in a blink of an eye. It was obvious that they were the masters of killing without batting an eyelid.
I dare not offend such a person.
Therefore, they have witnessed everything today and cannot let others know about it.
Song Qiu swallowed deeply. After all, he was worried. He met Zhang Lihua and once again asked her to remind her, "Lihua, today we are going up the mountain to this mountain. We haven't gone anywhere else."
Yes, right?"
Zhang Lihua was also smart and nodded: "Yes, that's not the case? Ear Mountain is so far away, and it's all on the official road outside. We don't go there very often, right?"
Both little girls were afraid deep down in their hearts, but they both knew that they must keep silent about this matter and never mention it again.
But none of them knew that in the Ear Mountains, several people in Tsing Yi returned in the evening and searched the place where the fight took place for several miles, but in the end they returned empty-handed.
It is impossible to find something.
Therefore, people soon started to pay attention to Songshan Village, which was backed by Ear Mountain and had a mountain to eat.
