Lin Ying and his party did not take the main road, but took a detour through a jungle and returned to Lingquan Village, because they were afraid of encountering people from the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group on the road.

In addition, because of the old and the young, they walked very slowly, and this winding path was only familiar to the people of the nearby villages, and even if the mercenary group found out that they had escaped, it would be difficult to catch them.

When they returned to Lingquan Village, it was already noon.

"Father. When Quan Ling'er saw Quan Zhanwu come back, she took three steps and made two steps, jumped into his arms, and cried happily.

"Silly girl, what are you crying on such a happy day. Quan Zhanwu said with a smile.

"Father, I thought I would never ...... again," Quan Ling'er said with tears in her eyes.

"Why? Never see me again? haha. ”

"Why, I knew you were going to be fine. Quan Ling'er's tears were not dry, and she laughed again.

"But this time it's really thanks to Lin Ying, otherwise you stupid girl might not really be able to see me. Quan Zhanwu looked at Lin Ying and said, his eyes were full of gratitude.

"Uncle Zhan Wu is serious, you have your own natural appearance. Lin Ying scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

"Little fool, this time my sister owes you a favor, if you have any requirements, just put it forward, as long as my sister and I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you. ”

As soon as Quan Ling'er saw Lin Ying, she suddenly returned to her eccentric appearance, but she could see that she said this from the heart.

"Sister Ling'er, this is what I should do, how dare I ask for anything?" Lin Ying said timidly.

"Don't miss the opportunity, you have to think about it. Quan Ling'er raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

"Alright, stop messing around. ”

Quan Zhengdao walked slowly and interrupted Quan Ling'er, and then he said, "It's really nice to see so many people return safely. The big guy has been running around all morning, he must be tired and hungry, Quan Kui, you take the people of Liang Village to the Liang Village Chief to rest first, and then prepare some food to send over. ”

"Yes. Quan Kui responded.

"Zhan Wu, it's good for you to come back, it's good to come back, and you can all go back to rest and eat something. Quan Zhengdao looked at his son, although he didn't say it, but the joy in his heart couldn't be hidden.

Lin Ying looked at the villagers of Liang Village who walked towards the square, and secretly felt sorry for the head of Liang Village, Liang Yidao must be very happy to see so many villagers return safely, but among so many people, there is only no son of him, how sad he should be, it is really a mixture of joy and sorrow.

In stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on the Lingquan Village side is the Liang Village side.

At this time, in Liang Village, only the people of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group were left, and the villagers who were imprisoned by them had escaped safely, while the bodies of the four people guarding the villagers were almost cold.

"Smack. ”

Zhao Gao slapped his palm angrily, and the handle of the old wooden chair he was sitting on shattered into powder: "Regiment leader, these villagers are too ignorant, we give them leniency, they actually secretly ran to save people, and killed the four of us, you must give them a little color, otherwise these wilderness villagers don't know the power of our Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group." ”

At this moment, there were three people sitting in the original stone house of Village Chief Liang, led by Zhao Kuo, the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group, and the two sitting below were Zhao Gao and Bai Shen.

"No, I can't kill people anymore, otherwise who else will I be the leader of the alliance?" Bai Shen strongly objected.

"Wouldn't it be better if you went to these three villages, and the remaining five would listen to you? Zhao Gao argued.

"That's not okay, since I'm the leader of the alliance, I can't do anything to be sorry for the villagers, no matter which village the villagers are. ”

"Hey, you weren't so righteous when you were fighting for the leader of the alliance. Zhao Gao scoffed.

"The nature is different, the battle for the leader of the alliance is an internal strife, and now it is ......" Speaking of this, Bai Shen glanced at Zhao Kuo who was sitting on it, and did not continue.

"Hehe, Bai Alliance Lord, I know what you're worried about, are you afraid that after I destroy these three villages, the remaining five of you won't have the strength to compete with our Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group, and you will have to be at our mercy when the time comes, right?" Zhao Gao's sharp eyes stared at Bai Shen gloomily, and continued: "The surname Bai, let me tell you the truth, even now, you don't have the strength to compete with us, as long as our alliance leader or the Blue Wolf King comes out, you can destroy your eight villages." ”

"You ......" Bai Shen heard this, and his nostrils smoked.

"That's enough, Zhao Gao, it's too much, how can you talk to the White Alliance Lord like this? Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on it, spoke at this time, with irrefutable majesty in his voice, his expression of displeasure and anger, and he couldn't see any emotion.

"Hmph, it's all up to the head of the regiment to decide. Zhao Gao snorted coldly at Bai Shen, and then bowed down and said to Zhao Kuo above, obviously a little unconvinced in his heart.

"Full screen Captain Zhao decided. Bai Shen also said.

"Since we promised them three months, we'll talk about it three months later. Zhao Kuo paused and continued: "However, during this period, they can't leave Lingquan Village, if they meet in the wild, they will not be killed. ”

"Yes. Zhao Gao replied proudly.

"This ..... Yes, sir. Bai Shen hesitated, but still chose to obey orders.

Every village here makes a living from hunting, and if you don't let out of the village, you will be cutting off the villagers' food source, which is too ruthless.

Soon after Lin Ying returned to the village, he learned from the thin monkey that the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group had given them three months to hand over the people.

But at that time, it was not said that the villagers were not allowed to go out hunting, this was a temporary decision made by the people of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group after returning to Liang Village and discovering that they had fallen for Lin Ying's scheme, but this decision was quickly spread to Lingquan Village.

"Grandpa, is our food enough to eat for three months?" Lin Ying asked as he approached Quan Zhengdao.

"In normal times, three months would be fine, but now, alas...... As you know, the people of the three villages are concentrated here, and even if they bring some food, they will barely survive for two months. Quan Zhengdao said helplessly.

"Is it only enough for two months?" Lin Ying seemed to ask, as if he was talking to himself, and at this moment his heart was already thinking about how to get food.

"You don't care, I'll find a way to make sure you don't starve your little belly. Quan Zhengdao said with a smile, looking very happy.

Of course, he was in a good mood, because his son and the villagers who had always worried him had returned to him safely today, and a problem in his heart was finally relieved.

After all, the food worry is two months away, but the joy is just around the corner, and there is nothing more joyful than a family reunion.

In the evening, the villagers set up a bonfire in the square, singing and dancing, expressing their joy in the most simple way.

Liang Yidao, who lost his son, although he was very sad in his heart, but after all, he was still the head of a village, in order not to affect the mood of the villagers, he also pretended to be cheerful to join in, maybe only in the dead of night did he dare to cry secretly for a while.

Of course, the protagonist of tonight is Lin Ying, because he broke into the enemy alone and risked his life to save the villagers.

As soon as Lin Ying came to the square, he was surrounded by a cheerful crowd, first jumping around him, then several people threw him high in the air, and then, Quan Zhanwu directly asked him to sit on his shoulder and join the dancing crowd.

At this time, Lin Ying deeply felt the enthusiasm and simplicity of the villagers, that enthusiasm came from the heart, that kind of laughter, and it was also from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps, many years later, Lin Ying will recall this bonfire dance when she was young, and the cheerful voices of the villagers will still ripple in her ears, and her heart is still infinitely nostalgic, missing that simple smile and simple happiness.
