Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Ye Yuanxin took a sudden breath, breaking the silence.

"It's so scary." Ye Yuanxin said as he wiped away the cold sweat that had just appeared.

Wei Qiqi also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that this matter would be resolved like this.

While they were talking, Jian Feng heard unusual footsteps, as if the footsteps were coming back again.

Before he could remind her, the door suddenly opened.

"By the way, you..." He originally wanted to look back at the woman he had seen before, but he didn't expect to run into a group of people here.

"Why are you here? You are... No, you are...!"

Jianfeng took a quick step forward, knocked off the soldier's spear and jaw in one swoop, and then broke his neck.

"sword!"

Everything happened so fast that the person was already dead before Wei Qiqi could ask Jian Feng to keep him.

"Master, master, there's a dead person." Ye Yuanxin looked at the corpse on the ground in horror. She turned around and covered Ye Yuanxin's eyes and turned her around.

Wei Qiqi stepped forward to check the body on the ground, and after making sure that there was no breathing, he immediately began to think of a solution.

"Master, am I doing it too early?" Jian Feng stood there at a loss. She shook her head and said, "Forget it."

"No matter what, we will be discovered and hunted down. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later."

Wei Qiqi stood up and looked around. Not only her people were standing in the yard, but also innocent people who were implicated.

She frowned and suddenly opened her eyes after just a moment.

"Jianfeng, you hold your hands, just kill the person who comes. Jianyu, you take Ye Yuanxin to take out our things, and be careful with my bag, don't bump the things inside."

Wei Qiqi gave the instructions one by one, and then looked at the people who were trembling with fear in the yard. These people were dressed in rags, and their cheeks were thin due to malnutrition, as if they were just skin and bones.

"When we leave, you start to shout and follow the soldiers to where they just ran away, saying that we killed one of their men and then ran away."

Wei Qiqi pointed at the only man inside and said. The man was obviously frightened by this method. He looked at the corpse and then at Wei Qiqi. He was so anxious that he couldn't say anything and could only wave his hands repeatedly.

"It's okay, just do as I say, otherwise we won't be able to escape and you will be caught."

Her tone was slightly gentler: "You were implicated in this. We are very grateful that you took the risk to take us in for one night."

"You still have children, so don't take unnecessary risks."

After saying that, Wei Qiqi suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you have a fire starter? Lend me one."

The man turned around and went looking for a tinderbox, and when he found it, he handed it to Wei Qiqi.

"Do as I say."

The man looked at his wife and old mother holding the child, and then stared at her in a daze.

Some people appeared from the top of the wall. They were the people from another yard. They tacitly agreed not to shout or scream, but to calmly accept everything that happened before their eyes.

She raised her hand to signal people to leave: "Just pretend you don't know about these things."

Ye Yuanxin and Jian Yu came out of the house, and Wei Qiqi turned and left.

He left in the opposite direction of the soldiers' departure. Only after Wei Qiqi and others disappeared did the man take action.

He staggered out.

Soon, several people came running towards this side in disorderly steps. When they saw the person who had just been laughing and cursing with them lying on the ground dead, they cursed and chased in the direction he pointed.

After Wei Qiqi and others left the alley, a figure suddenly appeared at a corner.

Jianfeng subconsciously drew out the broken sword in his hand.

"Sword Edge!"

Wei Qiqi's shout made Jian Feng stop, and it was the shopkeeper Ma who came running over in a hurry.

"Come with me now before more manpower is added."

Jian Feng and Jian Yu looked at Wei Qiqi and just followed her orders.

She had no other choice: "Let's go."

This is the territory of Shopkeeper Ma. After turning left and right, he finally got confused by the swords and rain, and was dizzy.

Then a path appeared, and the end of this path was not a wall, but a way out.

"Run in this direction, pass a bamboo forest, and continue in this direction at night. At the end is a small gate in the city wall. There aren't that many people guarding it, so you can get through if you fight hard."

Shopkeeper Ma spoke very quickly, and if Wei Qiqi hadn't listened carefully, she would have missed it accidentally.

"I don't have enough words to say, I just want to say thank you."

Wei Qiqi bowed slightly to Shopkeeper Ma, who waved his hands repeatedly and accepted the gift.

"Okay, let's go." Shopkeeper Ma urged. With his urging, Wei Qiqi led his men to move forward as he said.

It was already dark when they ran out. This was the most convenient time, because in the darkness, their tracks were not as obvious as in the daytime.

They ran for who knows how long, and finally, panting, they saw the bamboo forest that the shopkeeper Ma had mentioned.

"Is, is it...is it this...bamboo forest?" Ye Yuanxin didn't exercise often, so she broke her sentences into several parts and panted like a cow.

Of course Wei Qiqi wasn't much better and was also gasping for breath.

"It should be here." She said, but she couldn't help but look back. There were people belonging to her there.

Ye Yuanfeng and Ye Yuanjiang are both in there, and I don’t know if they can be safe.

"I originally wanted to wait for Ye Yuanfeng and Ye Yuanjiang at the evening market in the slums, so that we can be together no matter what we do."

She turned her head to look at the twinkling lights behind her, and in a trance, she seemed to be back to the time when she first crossed over. It was also like this, with people holding torches chasing her, and it was also a dark night.

"It seems that it is difficult now."

Ye Yuanxin fell silent, looking into the distance with worry. She didn't notice the look Jianfeng gave her.

"The two brothers of the Ye family will definitely be able to meet us safely. We must believe them." Jian Feng comforted them with a slightly unnatural tone.

Wei Qiqi was a little surprised that he could say this, but still affirmed his words.

"I believe in them. I taught them. They will overcome the danger."

These words were like a magic needle that stabilized the hearts of everyone present.

"No matter what, let's go first. If they go to the slums, Shopkeeper Ma will pick them up."

After hearing this, several people did not hesitate and went straight into the bamboo forest.

The wind blew through the bamboo forest, and the sound of bamboo leaves rustling could be heard.

If the wind is strong enough and blows the bamboo leaves hard, the bamboo trunk will bend and the reflected shadow will look extremely scary with its fangs and claws bared.

As they entered, they formed three rows, with Jianfeng leading the way in front, Ye Yuanxin and Wei Qiqi in the middle, and Jianyu cutting off the tail at the end.

We rested for a while in the bamboo forest and had a bite to eat.

It was midnight when Wei Qiqi and the others passed through the bamboo forest.

This is the time of day when people feel most sleepy.

They also saw the little gate in the wall.

The number of people was not as small as Shopkeeper Ma said, but much larger, about thirty or forty people.

This is definitely not something they can get out of.
