The man at the table in the room was concentrating on carving wood. Suddenly, the door panel of the hut fell into the room with a crash. The man stood up in shock. Just as he screamed in his heart, he felt a phantom. He ran behind him...
Before the man could react and make a move, he felt a chill go up his throat, and then the uncarved piece of wood and dagger in the man's hand fell on the edge of the table, and then they both bounced and landed at his feet.
Then there was a "pop" sound, the man's body tilted and fell heavily, and there was no sound again.
It was Yuan who killed this man. After she succeeded, she immediately looked behind her.
At this time, the kidnapper who was still sleeping on the bench at the door had been awakened by the loud noise of the door panel, but what he saw when he opened his eyes was a fist as big as a sandbag.
After a dull blow, the man rolled from the bench to the ground and fainted instantly. When he turned his head, blood was already flowing from his nostrils.
"Hehe, done!" Chai Yan solved the man and immediately looked at Yuyuan with a smile.
Yuanyuan didn't smile back at Chai Yan, but just nodded to him, then turned to look at a figure in the corner of the room.
"Master Yu, are you okay?"
Chai Yan followed Yuan's gaze and saw that in the corner of the hut, there was a young man dressed as a scholar. The man's hands and feet were tied, something was stuffed in his mouth, and there were several obvious wounds and bruises on his forehead and corners of his mouth. In addition, His clothes were even more ragged, and it looked like he had been beaten and abused a lot.
"Uh-huh...Uh-huh..."
Yu Zhongheng witnessed almost the entire raid. He knew that the man and the woman must have come to save him, so he screamed immediately, but his mouth was still blocked and he couldn't hear what he said.
Yuan Yuan quickly stepped forward and pulled out the cloth dumpling from Yu Zhongheng's mouth, and then cut the ropes binding his hands and feet with two "swish" strokes.
Yu Zhongheng hurriedly got rid of the broken rope, stood up with difficulty holding on to the wall, and asked: "You two, are you..."
"Master Yu, I am..."
Just when Yuan Yuan was about to reveal his identity to Yu Zhongheng, he noticed that Yu Zhongheng's expression suddenly changed, and he was so frightened that he leaned back into the corner again.
"You...your..."
Yuan Yuan felt anxious and quickly looked away, saying, "Master Yu, don't be afraid, we are here to take you back, my aunt is still waiting for you at home!"
When Yu Zhongheng heard that they were here to save him, he didn't care much at the moment and started to stumble out of the house.
"Wait a minute!" Chai Yan quickly stopped Yu Zhongheng and asked loudly: "Why are you alone, Peony?"
"Peony?" Yu Zhongheng stopped when he heard the sound, and replied with a blank look: "She...she was...taken away...by the gangsters..."
"Take it away? Where did you take it?" Yuan Yuan arrived in front of Yu Zhongheng in a few steps.
Chai Yan frowned when he heard this.
"I don't know, I... After I was tied up and thrown here by them, Mudan was taken away by a group of people..." Yu Zhongheng had an unbearable look on his face.
Yuanyuan and Chai Yan couldn't help but look at each other. They probably understood in their hearts what a tragic outcome would be if a girl named Mudan's family was taken away by a group of water thieves.
When Yu Zhongheng saw Chai Yan and Yu Yuan in a daze, he shouted urgently: "You two, please stop standing there. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, their accomplices will find us soon.
But that’s too bad!”
Yuan Yuan immediately made a decision and said: "Chai Yan, you take Mr. Yu back to the city first, and I will stay to save Miss Peony!"
"Are you kidding! Do you think it's possible?" Chai Yan refused without thinking. He couldn't leave Yuan alone.
Yuan Yuan looked anxious and said, "What should we do? We've already come, why don't we care about Miss Peony's life or death?"
Chai Yan's tone left no room for doubt: "If you want, we'll save you together, or if you want, we'll leave together! I can't leave you alone!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhongheng interrupted in the middle and said: "You two, I think we should leave here quickly. Mudan was taken away by these water thieves a few days ago. They kill people cruelly and without batting an eye. They probably won't survive now."
,Alas, let’s go..."
Yu Yuan's face immediately darkened: "Master Yu, what do you mean by this? Are you not saving her?"
That's what Yu Zhongheng was thinking in his heart, but he still didn't dare to say it directly, so he hesitated and said: "No, no, no, no... I mean... Peony, she...
....She has a loyal character. If she is insulted by a bad person, she will definitely...definitely not want to live in this world...I'm afraid at this time...I'm afraid
I have bitten my tongue and committed suicide..."
Yuan Yuan couldn't help but was startled when he heard Chai Yan shout: "Nonsense!"
Chai Yan glared at Yu Zhongheng and said, "You didn't even ask, how come you concluded that Mu Dan had committed suicide? Get out of here immediately if you're afraid of death!"
"But...but...I'm alone...just in case..."
It's not that Yu Zhongheng doesn't want to leave, but the road back to the city is not close. He is worried that he will be discovered by the water thieves on the way. If he fails to escape and falls into the hands of the water thieves, his life will really be in danger.
!
At this moment, Yu Yuan was shaking his head secretly in his heart. The Mr. Yu whom he met a year ago was obviously polite and helpful, but the current Mr. Yu is completely different.
Yuan Yuan looked at Chai Yan for help: "Do you have a way to calculate Miss Peony's current position?"
Chai Yan shook his head slightly, thinking that without Mudan's blood sample, Shangguan Peining would not be able to sense its specific location!
As soon as Yuanyuan showed disappointment, Chai Yan had an idea. He pointed at the water thief who was knocked unconscious and said: "If you want to know the whereabouts of Mudan, don't you just need to torture this person?"
As soon as Yuanyuan heard that it made sense, he immediately walked over, picked up the man from the ground, and sat him on a chair with a backrest, because he only used one hand in the whole process, and it looked effortless. He watched from the sidelines.
Yu Zhongheng's eyes almost fell out of his surprise...
Then Yu Zhongheng also secretly decided in his heart that indeed, those with strange eyes are evil people!
At this time, Chai Yan found a bowl of cold water and poured it on the water thief's face. The water thief immediately shivered and gradually regained consciousness.
When the water thief woke up, he found that he was being stared at by a man and a woman. He was so frightened that he leaned back, including the chair and the man, and fell to the ground.
"My hero, have mercy on me...My hero, have mercy on you..."
The next moment, the water thief quickly changed his posture, kowtowed to the ground and begged for mercy.
