Winter nights come very early, and it starts to get dark as soon as the evening falls. It is the end of the month, there is no moon, and it is even darker in the wild.
The cold wind is howling and the night is long.
Lu Li and others had no choice but to go into the mountain to find a suitable shelter from the wind, and then cut down some branches to make a fire to keep warm.
They were walking in such a hurry that they didn't have time to bring quilts, so they could only pile up leaves thick enough to keep out the cold.
Although these bandits have never lived a life of luxury, have they ever been so useless?
They always drank from big bowls, ate meat with big mouthfuls, and chased others all over the mountains without being chased like dogs.
Many people became dissatisfied and cursed fiercely at Shen Mingsong and Shen Mingxuan.
Shen Mingxuan was freezing to death, tired and hungry, and Shen Mingsong was injured, making it even more difficult.
He was thinking, did Liu Lingfan lead his men to catch up?
Are those people who go to the compound belong to Shen Mingzhu or Liu Lingfan?
If it belongs to Shen Mingzhu, how did she find it? Did she keep an eye on him in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
He also thought it was impossible that no one would be able to recognize him after he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and disguised himself.
Is the only possibility that it's Shen Yunluo's people?
They are going to suppress the bandits, so they give themselves a reminder to leave first?
Really, since rescuing people was not thorough enough, they even sent so many people, but they couldn't save them. Instead, they harmed them and made them suffer this kind of crime.
I still don’t know how to escape.
He also felt the hostility around him and was a little scared, so he wanted to have a good talk with Tan Laosi.
"You bastards, I think I might as well kill these two bastards." Tan Laosi was cursing and discussing with Lu Li. It's so damn unlucky. I originally wanted to make a vote, but then I earned enough wife money. There is no need to go out and hang out.
Who would have thought that he would be put in a trap instead, and it would be this Shen Mingsong. Damn it, if I don't kill him, it won't be enough for the people to be angry.
Lu Li had a gloomy look on his face. He glanced at Shen Mingsong and his sister and saw that Shen Mingxuan was shivering like a little bird in the cold wind. He snorted.
"We can't kill them now, we have to wait until we are safe."
What Lu Li didn't say was that if the enemy catches up, these two brothers will be their bargaining chip.
If the enemy did not catch up, then once they reunited with their own people and were safe, they would torture the brother and sister to death in order to satisfy their hatred.
After a few hours, there was no movement at all.
The cold stars in the sky twinkled, making the quiet night sky even more mysterious.
Lu Li felt that it was safe now, and they could set off to meet his people in the middle of the night.
He asked people to make the fire a little brighter, and then brought Shen Mingsong and Shen Mingxuan over.
Shen Mingxuan was sleepy, cold, hungry, and tired, and her whole body felt like it was falling apart. She looked at Lu Li with tears in her eyes, trying to use his obsession with herself to awaken his tenderness.
Lu Li did not look at her, but glared at Shen Mingsong, "Hand over Liu Zhifen."
Liu Zhifen is the daughter of the Hou family, the apple of her eye, and can be exchanged for five thousand taels of silver, which is more valuable than Shen Mingxuan.
Shen Mingsong still shook his head, trying to say that he didn't.
Lu Li suddenly became angry and raised his foot to stomp Shen Mingsong's left knee hard.
"Ah——" Shen Mingsong screamed, but Lu Li blocked his mouth, so not much escaped.
