Chapter 51 Life hangs on a thread

Yun Wansheng knew that Lin Yao had already gone down the mountain, but she didn't want to go down the mountain because she had thought of a way to leave. She wanted to take this opportunity to leave Mu Xingci.

As long as she didn't go back, they would definitely think that she had been fed to wild animals in the mountains.

She had originally planned to make a protective weapon before leaving, but the current situation forced her to change her mind temporarily. As long as Lin Yao was hostile to her, she would not have a peaceful life here.

Things often seem good when you think about them, but the reality is not so smooth, because a big leopard suddenly appears in front of you.

It was already 3 p.m. at this time. When Lin Yao came back, she saw that Mu Xingci's men had already returned, which meant that he had also returned to the camp.

After all, she was guilty as a thief, so she didn't dare to go to Mu Xingci for a while. Instead, she went to her own tent and then ordered people to find out whether the other ladies had returned.

After a while, the maid came back and said that all the young ladies from the official families had returned, but Miss Yun was the only one who had not returned yet. This made Lin Yao both scared and worried.

She was afraid that if the woman really died, the man would hate her. She was also worried that if the woman didn't die, would she tell Mu Xingci about her?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Mu Xingci walk in with a gentle expression: "Lin Yao, why are you back so late? Don't you know I'm worried about you?"

"Brother Xingci, I'm sorry for making you worry. I got lost in the mountains, so I came back late." Lin Yao said aggrievedly.

"No wonder! What about Yun Wansheng? Isn't she with you?" Mu Xingci asked casually.

"She didn't come back?" Lin Yao pretended to be surprised.

Her reaction made Mu Xingci's heart sink: "You two aren't together?"

"We were together at first, but then we saw a white fox and chased it, but the fox was very cunning and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Miss Yun suggested we split up and search, so I followed her advice. But I didn't find the fox, and she and I got separated. I searched for her for a long time and didn't see her, so I thought she had gone down the mountain.

"She hasn't come back." Mu Xingci said coldly, without wasting any more time, turned around and walked out.

"Brother Xingci, are you worried about Miss Yun?" Lin Yao saw that he left immediately after hearing that the woman did not come back, which made her eyes full of jealousy. Her guess turned out to be correct.

Mu Xingci paused when he heard this and said, "She is my cousin, shouldn't I care about her?" He said this without turning his head and strode out.

When he came back with his men, he found that several women had not returned yet. At first he didn't care, but those ladies came back one after another, except Lin Yao and Yun Wansheng.

After asking around, I found out that they were hunting in groups, and Yun Wansheng was in the same group with Lin Yao and others.

But they both have returned, why haven't Lin Yao and Yun Wansheng come down the mountain yet?

When asked, Song Yaqing only said that she and Lin Yao and the others had separated to look for prey. Later, when it was getting dark, they went down the mountain on their own. After they came back, they found out that Miss Lin and Miss Yun had not returned to the camp yet.

Her words made Mu Xingci and others anxious, so they sent a group of people to the mountain to look for her, and he waited in the tent. After all, it was not too late at this time.

It was not until he heard that Lin Yao had returned that he felt relieved and went to Yun Wansheng's tent. He found that she was not there, so he hurried to Lin Yao's tent.

When he got outside her tent, he tried his best to appear nonchalant. He didn't want his fiancée to suspect anything.

But in the end, he still couldn't control his anxiety, and Lin Yao saw through his thoughts.

But what does it matter if he found out? What he cares about most now is the safety of Yun Wansheng, and he can only ignore everything else for the time being.

After leaving the tent, Mu Xingci first went to find Song Yaqing and asked her which direction she, Lin Yao and Yun Wansheng had gone, because he knew that if he asked Lin Yao, she would not tell the truth, so he could only ask someone else.

After finding out the truth, he urgently mobilized hundreds of soldiers to go up the mountain to look for the person. He also went up the mountain himself, hoping to find the person before dark.

As the sky grew darker and the person was still not found, Mu Xingci calmed down and asked everyone to stop temporarily. He sent two scouts to look around the front to see if there were any horseshoe prints. If so many of them searched randomly, it would be difficult to find horseshoe prints.

After waiting for a while, a scout came running back and said, "My Lord, I have discovered new horse hoof prints in the western forest."

"Let's go over there." Mu Xingci said in a deep voice, and then followed the scout soldier in that direction.

On the other side, Yun Wansheng looked at the sky getting darker with some fear. The pain in her leg made her face pale and she dared not move.

After taking a look at the big leopard she had killed, her heart was still pounding with nervousness. Fortunately, she knew some kung fu, otherwise she would have been fed to the leopard today.

She saved her life, but was bitten on the calf by the leopard during the fight. At that time, she felt the leopard's fangs piercing her flesh, and the tearing pain was so severe that she almost fainted.

After a long pause, Yun Wansheng endured the pain and got up from the ground, holding the dagger tightly in her hand.

She couldn't stay in the mountain for long. Other wild beasts would come here smelling the blood. If she didn't leave, she would be dead.

But just as she stood up and was about to take a step, the pain in her leg went straight to her heart. She was so painful that she didn't dare to move. She stumbled and fell to the ground again, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Just when she was thinking of slowing down, she suddenly heard a heavy gasp coming from the woods ahead. This sound scared Yun Wansheng so much that she dared not move.

The next moment, a big black bear appeared in Yun Wansheng's eyes through the grass that was more than one meter high.

Such a huge beast made Yun Wansheng, who was usually brave, tremble with fear, and the dagger in her hand shook uncontrollably.

Just when Yun Wansheng thought she was doomed, she suddenly saw a beam of light coming from not far away. Is someone coming?

This discovery made her so excited that she no longer cared about anything else. She quickly stood up and ran back: "Help!"

At this moment, she no longer cared about the pain in her leg. People are so explosive when they are between life and death, as if the injured leg is not their own.

When she ran, the black bear reacted and instinctively chased after its prey.

"Help... Help!" Yun Wansheng cried for help hysterically, not daring to look back at the big black bear that was taking her life.

At this time, she also saw the people in front of her holding torches and rushing towards her quickly. They obviously heard her cry for help, and she also heard someone calling her name, which made her tears flow instantly.

"Yun Wansheng!" Mu Xingci finally saw the woman he was looking for. Seeing her running towards him with tears in her eyes, he walked so fast that he wished he could fly to the woman in one step.

As they approached, the flames shot up into the sky, and the black bear behind them no longer dared to chase them. It turned around and ran into the dark and endless forest.
