Chapter 51 Danger

"Xin'er, Hu Xin'er! Where are you?" Mu Qing's voice was faintly heard.

Hu Xiner opened her mouth in surprise and wanted to respond, but was covered by the Luo family servant who rushed over.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Hu Xin'er struggled hard, her will to survive bursting out.

The Luo family servant glanced around and found that the children were looking at him with hatred and fear. If they screamed, then -

He had murderous intentions. If he killed the adult Hu Xiner, it would be much easier to deal with these children.

Feeling the increasing strength of the man behind him, Hu Xin'er's frail body gradually became exhausted.

In the dark cave, with her mouth covered, she whimpered in her throat and tears gradually flashed in her eyes.

The brain was a little lacking in oxygen, and the Luo family servant looked at him fiercely and took out a dagger.

In the critical moment, she struggled hard, calling out that person's name in her heart.

Mu Qing! Mu Qing! I'm here!

In the dark forest, the people who were searching suddenly stopped.

Mu Qing kept searching, and the sharp blades of grass cut his trouser legs and sleeves, leaving blood stains all over his body.

He was completely unaware and looked around in shock.

Erdong looked up from his search: "What clues did you find?"

"I think I hear Xin'er calling me!" Mu Qing murmured, "Someone is calling my name. It must be Xin'er. Listen quickly. Where is she?"

Erdong listened attentively, but even with his excellent hearing as a martial artist, he could only hear the rustling of grass leaves and the chirping of insects.

Where is the human voice?

"You are too impatient. You must be hallucinating." Erdong looked reluctant.

If he had known that Mu Qing was so concerned and even risked his life to go to Luo Mansion, he should have stopped Hu Xiner.

Hu Xin'er felt the cold dagger against her body and slowly closed her eyes.

At this critical moment of life and death, she just kept repeating that person's name over and over again in despair and stubbornness.

Mu Qing...

Mu Qing asked at a loss, "Xin'er, where are you?"

The surroundings were empty, with only endless mountains and forests.

"Are you crazy?" Erdong touched his forehead worriedly.

Mu Qing's eyes gradually became firm. He believed that Xin'er was somewhere here, waiting for him.

Relying on some kind of intuition, he walked in one direction, then ran to a bush and pulled away the grass.

It was a cave with some bloodstains beside it!

Inside the cave, a servant of the Luo family was seen with a bloody head and a large stone thrown beside him. He was beaten to death by Gou Wa and Hu Xin'er.

Hu Xin'er breathed in deep gulps of fresh air, while Gou Wazi looked at the cave entrance warily. Seeing that it was Mu Qing, he was extremely excited: "We are here!"

Mu Qing stepped forward and hugged Hu Xiner.

The familiar embrace made Hu Xin'er feel safe. Tears flowed unconsciously, and she held Mu Qing's hand tightly: "Mu Qing... Mu Qing, you are finally here. I missed you so much."

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Mu Qing's voice trembled slightly. "I'm late, Xin'er. I shouldn't have let you investigate this matter alone."

"I almost thought I'd never see you again." Hu Xin'er hugged him tightly. "How did you find your way here? Where are the Luo family? Where is Luo Yan? Did they give you any trouble?"

"I saw the mark you left. Erdong found the county magistrate, and we searched the mountain and followed the tunnel to find this place." Mu Qing stroked her hair soothingly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Hu Xiner's tense heartstrings relaxed, and she suddenly found that Mu Qing's body was trembling slightly, and there was a smell of blood on his hands.

She turned around in panic and stroked Mu Qing's face and body: "Are you injured? Are you bleeding? Is Luo Yan colluding with the county magistrate?"

Mu Qing grabbed her hand, his eyes still gentle and firm even in the darkness: "No, everything went well. I cut my hand on some grass when I was looking for you."

Erdong stood by with his hands folded, looking at Gou Wa: "How long do you think they will keep on being so stubborn?"

Gou Wa looked at him with great disdain: "Can't you feel the deep love between them?"

Erdong raised his eyebrows: "Can you feel it?"

Gou Wa sighed bitterly, "I can tell from the first glance that you don't look like the material for getting married."

Erdong was deeply hurt. No one had ever commented on him so harshly and seriously in his entire life.

The person was finally found, but because he had killed someone, Hu Xin'er was still brought to the court of the county government.

The trial took place overnight, with no common people watching. The plaque in the courtroom that read "Open and Honest" had not been repaired for a long time, and it looked gloomy even by candlelight.

County Magistrate Zhang sat in the hall, yawning and asking, "Miss Hu, why did you come to the Luo family? And why did you kill someone?"

Thanks to the imperial guards, Hu Xiner didn't have to kneel down, and Luo Yan was standing with her.

Hu Xin'er was a little frightened because she had just seen someone die, and she hadn't recovered yet.

County Magistrate Zhang slammed the chopping board: "Answer!"

"Ah?" Hu Xin'er was confused.

County Magistrate Zhang immediately understood, oh, so he is a fool, no wonder he entered the Luo family.

Mu Qing stepped forward and clarified on Hu Xin'er's behalf: "County Magistrate, it was the Luo family who first abducted the child and intended to harm my wife, Hu Xin'er. They imprisoned them in the cave, and when they saw us searching the mountain, they intended to harm her."

"Well, is that so?" County Magistrate Zhang saw that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and actually believed it 70%.

"Hu Xiner accidentally hit the Luo family servant with a stone in order to save her own life, so she should be given a lighter sentence. The real murderer is a member of the Luo family." Mu Qing's eyes were sharp.

He is usually quiet, but when it comes to such a critical moment, he always rushes to the front.

Luo Yan fell to the ground and pitifully denied it: "That servant was the only one who did it. I was not aware of it! I am just a weak woman who never leaves the house. What can I do?"

"Are you a weak woman? Weren't you the one who was about to take the opportunity to silence the witnesses at Luo's house just now?" Erdong closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch or listen any longer.

Hu Ronger and Luo Yan are exactly the same kind of people, no wonder they get together.

She is very fierce on weekdays, but pretends to be a weak woman when something happens.

The reputation of weak women will be ruined!

"That's all a misunderstanding! You said Hu Xin'er was missing for no reason, but with her appearance, no one would recognize her as Hu Xin'er!" Luo Yan curled her lips.

"That's fine. I invited you into my house. I learned you were a royal guard and even planned to give you a banquet. Who knew you were so fierce? It's late at night, so why should I be a little scared?"

Luo Yan also gave up and gave him a delicate look. With her messy hair and torn clothes, she looked really pitiful.

Mu Qing looked at County Magistrate Zhang, who was trying hard to suppress his laughter. "Ms. Luo doesn't want to admit it, but we have witnesses!"

Gou Wa bravely stood up and said, "It's this bad woman! She locked us in the basement and abused us!"
