After a stick of incense, the sound of gongs in the cottage shook the sky.

The sky-high fire in the granary seemed to illuminate the whole night at once.

The sound of firefighting was endless, but by the time Shi Hu and the others rushed over, there was no trace of Shi Yu, and only the wine jar that she had taken away before was left near the granary.

Although only half of the jar of wine was used to start the fire, the several positions where Shi Yu lit the fire were very tricky, and as soon as the ventilation windows in the granary were opened on weekdays, the fire spread all at once as soon as the night breeze blew.

Shi Hu and the others were furious, and while ordering the fire to be extinguished, they ordered a thorough investigation of the entire cottage, and every household had to be searched, and Shi Yu must be found.

The women and children who had been staying at home also poured out, and there was chaos in the cottage.

The bandits searched everywhere, but they didn't notice that among the women, a figure quietly left through the chaos.

Shi Yu was dressed in coarse cloth women's clothes, and her hair was also put down, and it was simply pulled into a women's bun.

Before she burned down the granary, she had already quietly stolen a set of women's dresses that she had hung outside, and had not yet had time to put them into the house.

As for the previous robes, they had already been thrown in the granary and made to cause fire.

Shi Yu did not go to the secret passage, nor did he go down the mountain road, and now he is searching himself, and there must be someone guarding these two places.

chose a random direction, and when she arrived at the place where the cottage and the mountains and forests meet, she made sure that there was no one behind her, so she went directly into the mountains and forests.

This place is tall and grassy, and although it is difficult to descend the mountain because there is no road, it is also the safest.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the forest, she saw the weeds that had been trampled on, and then she found a simple cover not far away, with branches against the big tree, and a figure sitting under the cover.

The wind dispersed the dark clouds, and the moonlight penetrated along the cracks in the trees, just illuminating the two of them clearly.

It's the kid I met during the day, and there are leftover chicken bones next to it.

Shi Yu frowned, looking at the other party's appearance, could it be that he usually lives here.

The boy naturally saw Shi Yu as well, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Shi Yu dressed as a woman in surprise.

"You ......"

As soon as he said a word, the sound of bandits searching came from me.

"Someone looks like they've stepped on it here!"

Shi Yu was shocked, and immediately found a bush to cover his figure, and at the same time made a silent gesture to the boy.

The boy seemed to understand at once, and did not speak again.

"Let's go, go inside!" The bandits' voices came again, and Shi Yu's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Just as the bandits were about to walk into the forest, the boy suddenly stood up, glanced at Shi Yu, and ran out at once.

The bandits were startled by the boy who suddenly rushed out, and one of the bandits grabbed him and kicked him hard.

"It turned out to be you little cub, who told you to hide here!"

The boy took a kick and snorted, but said nothing.

The bandits stood at the edge of the forest, looked into the mountains and forests, found nothing, scolded the boy a few more words, and quickly left to search elsewhere.

Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the bushes, looked at the boy standing on the edge of the mountain forest, and before he could thank him, the other party ran away.

Seeing this, Shi Yu did not hesitate any longer, brushed aside the weeds, and began to hurry up the mountain to go down.

Although the road she chose was relatively hidden, there were many sentinels in this mountain forest, and it was not easy to be found because her vision was blocked at night. But once it's daylight, there's no guarantee.

Therefore, she had to hurry, preferably before dawn, to reach the bottom of the mountain. And don't make too much noise, so as not to alarm the sentinels in this forest.

The way down the mountain was difficult, Shi Yu was engrossed, and walked for more than half an hour in one breath, his hands and face were marked with blood by some weeds, and the soles of his feet hurt badly.

But at a glance, the forest is still tall and overgrown with weeds, and you can't see where the foot of the mountain is. But fortunately, there should be a lot of distance from the cottage.

Sitting under a tree, Shi Yu rested for a while, then stood up and continued to set off.

But his vision was blocked, and he didn't notice the weeds under his feet, and when he stepped on it, his feet slipped suddenly, and the whole person fell out.

After rolling several times, Shi Yu struggled to climb a tree before finally stopping.

But this movement suddenly startled the birds in the forest.

The birds fluttered, and there was a cry, which was particularly piercing in the quiet forest.

After a while, a fireworks signal exploded in the sky not far away.

Shi Yu was shocked, and he couldn't care about his sore leg, so he quickly got up and continued to go down the mountain.

This signal should be that the sound of birds just now has alarmed the sentinel, and it is very likely that she has been discovered, and she must hurry down the mountain to leave before the bandits arrive.

Although with each step, there was a burst of pain in the calf of his right leg, Shi Yu kept speeding up until his feet slipped again and fell down a small dirt slope.

"Hiss......" Yu gasped.

However, what frightened her more than the pain was that she saw a figure approaching on her right.

The forest is blocked, the shadows are sufficient, and it is difficult to see clearly.

Shi Yu stared at the visitor, and her heart rose to her throat, but at the same time, she calmly and quickly calculated, if she was caught, how could she save her life.

Finally, the figure came closer.

The moonlight leaked through the cracks in the forest and sprinkled on the body of the visitor, dyeing a dark robe with light spots, and even the face of the upside-down beings was also dyed with a faint moonlight.

Shi Yu looked at the person in a daze, and all the tension in his heart dissipated at this moment.

Great, it's Jing Heng!

The tip of his nose was sour, his eyes were red, and Shi Yu called out.

"Overseer......"

Jing Heng stood a few steps away, looking at Shi Yu stiffly.

The moonlight shone on the raised face, and several blood marks were shocking on the pale cheeks......

His heart clenched together and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

It wasn't until he heard Shi Yu's "Overseer" with a little crying that he seemed to have lifted the seal in an instant and arrived in front of Shi Yu all of a sudden.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming!" Jing Heng's voice trembled slightly, and his throat was very dry.

It was obviously a comforting word, but it sounded like the one who was even more afraid.

Half-kneeling in front of Shi Yu, he wanted to hug Shi Yu, but when he caught a glimpse of her bloodstained hands, his outstretched arm suddenly froze in mid-air.

Nie Shiyu should blame him in his heart.

Blame him for not coming with her, blame him for letting her fall into danger alone, blame him for coming so late......

The arm stopped in mid-air, but he didn't have the courage to land on Shi Yu's body. At this moment, Jing Heng regretted it in his heart.

But just when this feeling of guilt reached its peak, he suddenly felt a softness on his body, and Shi Yu took the initiative to hug him.

"Overseer, I'm going to be scared to death!"
