Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Just when Xiao Zhixue's light steps were about to step into the brink of death, Fan Yanmu flashed and grasped her wrist tightly with lightning speed, with strength yet gentleness.

Xiao Zhixue frowned slightly, her tone mixed with doubt and reproach, and her clear eyes flickered with confusion.

Fan Yanmu's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the thick night sky and look directly at the potential crisis. His low voice was like a whisper in the night wind, sounding gently in her ears, which was both a warning and a comfort.

Yu Wu was completely unaware of this and continued walking forward on his own, immersed in his own calculations.

Xiao Zhixue's heart tightened, with a mixture of gratitude and relief. Fan Yanmu's grip not only helped her avoid the danger in front of her, but also gave her a firm strength. The warmth in his palm became her most solid support in this cold night.

When the danger passed, Xiao Zhixue slowly withdrew her hand, while Fan Yanmu silently put his hand behind his back, savoring the touch of that moment alone, with indescribable emotions surging in his heart.

Yu Wu gritted his teeth when he saw that his plan had failed.

After going through countless hardships and dangers, they finally crossed the mountains and entered the border of Lei Shi County.

As soon as he entered this land, Yu Wu's inner anxiety seemed to find some support and gradually eased.

For Lei Shi County, every winding alley and every inconspicuous street corner are drawn into a detailed map in his mind.

The pitch-black night became his perfect cover. He began to plan in his mind that he only needed to gently guide the two of them into a secluded dead end and find a chance to escape.

Yu Wu pretended to be natural and led the two of them turning left and right in the narrow alleys, deliberately creating chaos, but he didn't know that all this could not escape Fan Yanmu's keen observation.

Fan Yanmu quickly saw through Yu Wu's intentions. He flashed and grabbed Yu Wu's collar with a big hand like an iron clamp. His face was stern, his eyes revealed unquestionable majesty, and his voice was low and powerful: "How long do you want to play this maze game?"

Yu Wu's heart tightened, but he forced a flattering smile on his face and hurriedly explained: "The two heroes are very perceptive. How dare I be disrespectful? It's because the family master's mansion is a little far away, and I'm looking for a faster way."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhixue had already moved silently in front of him. Her fist, with a force that could not be ignored, suddenly cut through the night sky and hit Yu Wu in the face.

Xiao Zhixue's eyes were sharp, and her words were chilling: "If you try to play tricks again, I'll turn your head into a lantern on the night road!"

Yu Wu's cheek was instantly stained with purple bruises. Although Xiao Zhixue's punch was merciful, it was enough to make his world spin and he almost lost consciousness.

He clearly realized that the two people in front of him were no ordinary people, and he begged for forgiveness with a trembling voice: "Master, please spare my life. I really know I am wrong, and I will never do it again."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yanmu snorted coldly, then loosened his grip on Yu Wu and ordered with unquestionable authority, "Lead the way, keep going!"

Yu Wu rubbed his aching cheeks. The pain felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at his bone marrow, making it unbearable. Although he cursed the two men thousands of times in his heart, he did not dare to stop for a moment.

This time, he wisely chose to walk on the brightly lit road to avoid any accidents that would bring him more unnecessary trouble.

As he walked, the thought of escape once again sprouted in his mind. After all, bringing these two seemingly tough masters to the county magistrate's mansion was tantamount to digging his own grave with his own hands.

Just as this thought was circling in my mind, a night walker holding a lantern appeared in my sight.

Yu Wu seemed to have seen a savior sent by God, and immediately began to make faces, hoping to convey a signal for help.

When the night watchman first saw Yu Wu's strange behavior, he was puzzled. He didn't understand why this normally friendly brother would behave like this. He thought he had eye discomfort and asked with concern: "Hey, isn't this Brother Yu? What's wrong? Did something get into your eye?"

When Yu Wu heard this, he was almost choked by his own anger, thinking that he had already made it so obvious, but this person was completely unaware of the crisis behind him!

At this moment, the night patrolman finally seemed to realize something was wrong. He glanced sideways and saw Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu. The cold aura and faint murderous intent naturally emanating from the two made the night patrolman's heart tighten. Without thinking too much, he instinctively turned around and ran away.

Yu Wu witnessed this scene and was secretly delighted, thinking that help was about to arrive.

However, Xiao Zhixue's reaction was as fast as lightning. She picked up a small stone from the roadside and hit the calf of the night watchman who was about to escape with incredible accuracy. The night watchman screamed in pain, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

She strode forward, grabbed the night watchman by the collar, and asked sharply, "Why are you running away? Did you run into something unclean, or do you want to tip off someone?"

The night watchman's eyes flickered between Xiao Zhixue and Yu Wu, his face full of panic, seeming to be at a loss.

Yu Wu's face turned pale, he lowered his head in a hurry, and said hastily, "I really didn't intend to tip off the police, but when I saw Brother Yu's terrifying look, I was so scared that I subconsciously wanted to run away."

Xiao Zhixue sneered, then let go of the night watchman and warned him, "You'd better not get involved in this, or I'll take care of you too."

The night watchman was so frightened that his face turned pale. He nodded repeatedly, picked up the bamboo clapper thrown aside, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

Yu Wu knew that there was no way out at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and lead Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu towards the county magistrate's mansion.

Soon, the three of them stood in front of the gate of the county magistrate's mansion. The two officers guarding the gate were surprised to see that it was Yu Wu who had returned.

One of the officers asked in confusion: "Didn't you go to Yueping Mountain? Why did you come back so soon and bring two strangers with you?"

At this critical moment, Yu Wu looked at the majestic mansion, his heart was made up, and his courage seemed to be aroused.

He rushed to the two officers and shouted in a loud voice: "Come and help me catch them! These two just killed several of our brothers!"

Upon hearing the voice, the two officers' eyes flashed with fierceness. They stretched out their bodies in an instant, and the swords on their waists were suddenly unsheathed. With a flash of cold light, they were like two silver dragons breaking through the air, rushing straight towards Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu. The wind from the swords was so fierce that the air seemed to be split in two.
