There were shouts not far away. Bai Ling looked over alertly and saw that there was still a faint light of fire. It was probably Li De's men who were catching up.
Thinking of Bai Ling, he quickened his pace and came to Li Xiaomei's side.
Li Xiaomei's face was pale now and she was very weak. When she saw Bai Ling coming back, she subconsciously wanted to say hello but she didn't have the strength.
"white……"
"Stop talking, they are catching up. We have to get out of here quickly." Bai Ling helped Li Xiaomei get up and walked together into the forest.
The road they were taking now was up the mountain, and those who were chasing them would inevitably be walking along this road. Li Xiaomei's physical condition probably meant that she wouldn't be able to walk very far, so she had to find a place to hide first.
Bai Ling thought about it in his mind, looked around and decided to take Li Xiaomei to the left, hoping to find a cave to hide temporarily. However, Li Xiaomei started to burn at this moment and was swaying when walking. Bai Ling was thin and could not hold on.
Neither of them could walk fast.
"Xiaomei, you must hold on, we must not be taken back!" Bai Ling encouraged Xiaomei and helped her move forward as quickly as possible.
The two of them walked too slowly, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Fortunately, there was a patch of weeds not far away. It was one meter high and might allow them to hide.
After Bai Ling found the destination, he tried his best to drag Li Xiaomei forward, but the people behind him caught up too fast and they were discovered before they could hide.
"Over here, come here quickly!"
"Stop, you can't run away!"
The people behind them shouted loudly, raised their torches high, and started running in the direction where they were.
"Oops, Xiaomei, we have to leave quickly! They are catching up!" Bai Ling said, pulling Xiaomei and running quickly.
Unfortunately, they had only run a few steps when they were surrounded by several people.
The light of the torch flickered on and off, and Bai Ling saw that the leader catching up with them was none other than Liao Wu.
Liao Wu was knocked unconscious by Bai Ling twice, and the anger in his heart couldn't stop boiling out.
"Let me see where you are going, catch me, and kill anyone who dares to resist!" Liao Wu was furious. He didn't care whether the secret recipe was true or false. He had asked the two women in front of him who dared to scheme against him to die.
.
Now that he was talking about catching them, it was only because a few other brothers and sisters were also there. Otherwise, he would have directly issued an order to kill them.
"Elder brother, Master said that he would keep their lives..."
"Talk too much. Now that the master is not here, you have to listen to me in everything!"
"Yes, senior brother."
The man who interrupted just now was slapped, and he was the first to raise his knife and move towards Bai Ling and the others.
Bai Ling pulled Li Xiaomei back carefully.
"Sister Bai Ling, please leave me alone and find a chance to escape!"
Li Xiaomei squeezed Bai Ling's hand tightly, then rushed over and hugged the man holding the knife in front of her. The man who was originally hesitant to kill was caught off guard by Li Xiaomei's attack and fell directly to the ground.
On the ground.
Liao Wu looked at everything in front of him and spat angrily.
"Hmph, none of you can run away today. I will send you on your way one by one."
Liao Wu pulled out the knife, raised it above his head, and headed towards Li Xiaomei's face.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing this, Bai Ling secretly said something bad, and immediately rushed over and used all the strength in his body to kick Liao Wu's calf. A real kick made him lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground in pain.
The knife passed by Li Xiaomei's ear, causing her ears to roar.
"Run!"
Pulling Li Xiaomei while they were rolling and crawling, the two of them ran no more than ten steps before they were surrounded by a group of people again, holding swords pointed at them.
"Damn it, I don't believe it today!"
Liao Wu was helped to his feet, took away the others' sharp swords, and stabbed Li Xiaomei in the heart. Li Xiaomei was so frightened that she backed away, but still did not escape.
Bai Ling pushed Li Xiaomei away and was stabbed in the shoulder, blood spurting out from the wound.
In just a few seconds, Bai Ling's lips turned pale.
"Sister Bai, how are you!"
Li Xiaomei rushed forward and caught Bai Ling with her hands, her huge tears falling down, her face full of remorse and guilt.
If it weren't for herself, Sister Bai would not have been arrested, let alone injured.
"Let me see where you are going this time!"
Liao Wu raised his sword again and used all his strength. The sword was almost able to penetrate Bai Ling's body. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen the tragic scene of Bai Ling's death in front of him.
"This is what you will get for plotting against me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cry of pain, and the sword in Liao Wu's hand was knocked off and flew out, piercing a man's shoulder.
"Who, who is plotting against me!"
Bai Ling weakly covered the wound with a smile on his face.
"Shangguan!"
Liao Wu turned around, and there were more than a dozen people standing behind Shangguan Yu. Before he could react, Shangguan Yu was already standing in front of him, clasping a hand on his shoulder and kicking his knee.
Let him fall to his knees.
"Ling'er, how are you?"
Seeing that Bai Ling was injured, Shangguan Yu felt as if a knife had been stabbed into his heart. He immediately let go of Liao Wu, walked towards Bai Ling, and picked her up.
"My husband is late, I'm sorry!"
Bai Ling looked at his frown and tried hard to smooth it with his hands.
"It doesn't matter, it just looks serious and doesn't hurt the fundamentals..."
After saying these words, Bai Ling felt his eyes go dark and fainted in Shangguan Yu's arms.
"Ling'er!"
Shangguan Yu seemed to have his heart and lungs grasped by an invisible hand. He ignored Liao Wu and the others, hugged Bai Ling and left as quickly as possible...
Liao Wu and others also took advantage of the panic and slipped away.
When everyone in Hairpin Huaji saw Bai Ling being carried back, they hurriedly prepared some water to cook medicine, and they were all busy for a while.
A Chou came in with the medicine. Shangguan Yu sat on the bedside and helped Bai Ling into his arms. He took the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful and blew it again and again, for fear of burning her.
"It's just a minor injury, don't you need to be so nervous?"
Bai Ling whispered, and subconsciously reached out to take the medicine bowl, but was rejected.
"This is not a minor injury. Sit tight and don't move."
Shangguan Yu rarely turned to Bai Ling with a straight face, and seemed to be really angry. Bai Ling retracted his hand after being scolded fiercely, and did not dare to say anything more. He just opened his mouth and took the medicine obediently.
"Shangguan, I think Li De doesn't just want the Li family. He must have other conspiracies. We have to stop him!"
Shangguan Yu gave the last mouthful of medicine to Bai Ling, and the expression on his face finally relaxed a lot.
"Okay, as long as it's what Ling'er wants to do, just go ahead and do it."
His words warmed Bai Ling's heart, "Why don't you ask me why?"
"As long as Ling'er wants to do something, my husband will help Ling'er achieve it."
Shangguan Yu's voice was gentle and low, his eyes full of doting. He touched her head, rested his chin on her forehead, and hugged her tightly with his hands.
