I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"So... where are you going?"

If they go out like this and are seen by the people around them, they will definitely curse to death the people who are leading them on the journey.

What kind of weather is this? It's abusing the children like this.

If this place were closer to the city, he would buy some clothes for them.

But this place is not close to the clothing shops in the city. Even if you go faster, it will take an hour to go back and forth.

He still has tasks assigned by his ancestors.

After these houses are burned down, the ashes must be buried to prevent the poisonous ashes from flying everywhere.

173 The pale face turned to Lin Changshou,

"The master asked us to gather at the foot of the mountain."

Lin Changshou nodded and glanced at the children.

"Huh!?"

Lin Changshou frowned, "Why are there only a few of you? There are still 6 people?"

He had counted these children long ago, there were 12 in total, the same number as recorded in the list of dead men.

Half of it is gone in an instant, and you can see it at a glance.

When they went to take a bath, they went almost at the same time, and the child in front of me went last.

Those who went in later have all come out, but what about the children who went in earlier?

"We'll come out after we finish washing, and go to the front mountain to find clothes to wear."

173 His eyelids trembled slightly, and then drooped with a hint of avoidance.

The people following behind him all held the edge of the bucket nervously.

Lin Changshou glanced at the crowd and waved at the naked children.

"Okay, go find some clothes to wear."

After watching 173 and the others walk away, Lin Changshou frowned slightly, turned around and walked into the woods.

"The ancestor hasn't come out yet. Could it be that those kids ran away and the ancestor went after them?"

Thinking of the evasive looks of those children, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

Quickening his pace, Lin Changshou rushed to the mountain spring where the children were washing themselves.

"These damn kids actually ran away."

Looking at the empty mountain spring pool, Lin Changshou cursed him out of hatred and started chasing into the mountains.

"No need to chase, just go and do your thing."

Lin Changshou had just run two steps when he heard Lin Yiran's voice.

He immediately stopped running with a foot brake, raised his head and looked around.

The cold wind was rustling all around, and there was no sign of our ancestors.

However, he was very sure that it was the voice of his ancestor.

"Yes!"

Lin Changshou clasped his fists in response, then turned around and went back.

As long as the ancestor is here, those little brats can’t escape.

What an ungrateful child! With such a great opportunity right in front of him, he actually wanted to run away.

Lin Changshou shook his head regretfully...

.......

"Are we too late and the owner has already left?"

Looking at the empty foot of the mountain, 66 frowned with disappointment and excitement.

Being abandoned was indeed depressing for him, as she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

But when they thought about their freedom in the future, they couldn't help but feel excited.

173 frowned and looked around.

"Wait a little longer, we shouldn't be too late."

"The master is here, and we can explain why it took us some time to find clothes to wear."

He didn't believe that the master would abandon them after giving them such good medicine.

They have learned so many skills in the death squad training base, and many of them are sought after by wealthy and powerful families when they leave.

How could we give up on such a group of talented people so easily?

And he saw that the master had plans for them.

He even guessed that the master deliberately let them go back to wash just to test their loyalty.

This is also the reason why he didn't dare to run even though his freedom was right in front of him.

Although he couldn't see his master following them, he had a strong feeling that he was being watched when he was by the mountain spring pool.

The master's martial arts skills were far superior to theirs, so it was extremely easy for him to follow them without being discovered.

Now the owner is not seen at the foot of the mountain. I guess he is chasing those people who escaped.

66 pouted and nodded helplessly, "Then let's wait."

They don't mind having that little bit of time anyway.

If they wait another hour and the master still hasn't come, it means that the master really doesn't want them anymore.

Then when they leave, they won't be so scared.

They didn't want to escape on their own initiative, it was their master who didn't want them.

173 looked at the large robes on his companions and sighed slowly.

It seemed that all the secret guards had developed the ability to not be afraid of the cold, and their robes were all thin layers.

In fact, they can feel the cold, and their whole bodies are indeed frozen.

It’s just that they have become accustomed to soaking in cold water and walking barefoot in the snow in winter.

They were trembling at first, but now they are numb.

I'm already numb from the cold...

The others pursed their frozen purple lips and sat down on the cold ground.

I was really tired after running back and forth all night.

When 173 and his companions had been waiting for nearly half an hour, a whimpering sound came from behind them.

Several people were stunned and looked back hurriedly.

The owner was holding a long piece of wood with several naked children tied to it.

As the master got closer, the men saw clearly the person tied to the wood, and the expressions on their faces fell.

It's 133 them...

173 Several people got up from the ground with a look of fear on their faces and stood in a row obediently.

"Oh!"

Lin Yiran threw the stick in her hand in front of the children.

The bunch of children fell to the hard, cold ground, screaming in agony.

"Ahhh, Master, please spare me, I was wrong..."

"It's all 133's fault. He was the one who instigated us to escape. Master, please spare us."

"Yes, yes, it's 133. He was the one who kept asking us to leave..."

"..."

At this moment, 133 pursed his lips tightly in pain and glared at 173 with eyes full of resentment.

The master caught up with them so quickly, it must be 173 who went to inform on them.

It was all 173's fault. He dragged his feet and refused to let anyone follow him, which delayed his escape time and allowed this woman to catch up with him.

133 didn't think there was anything wrong with his escape, but he actually hated 173 in his heart.

173 met 133's eyes full of hatred and murderous intent, and frowned tightly.

What does this have to do with him? Why should I look at him like that?

Lin Yiran glanced coldly at the screaming child on the ground.

"If you shout again, my tongue will be cut off."

As soon as he finished speaking, the children's crying stopped abruptly.

It’s not like she didn’t see the whole process.

The ones with strong opinions are 173 and 133.

She saw clearly that 173 had wavered, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to continue following her.

As for 133, she doesn't want this person.

He is smart and has a lot of clever ideas, but he is too vicious and likes to pass the blame.

Such people under her command are likely to form cliques and cause trouble.

What she needs is someone like 173 who obeys orders and can help her get things done, rather than someone who will cause trouble and leave her to clean up the mess.
