It was already close to noon, and if Xiao Qingyin wanted to get to the dilapidated temple by the time the kidnappers demanded, she definitely wouldn't make it on foot.

You can only ride a horse.

She stuck something under the four horseshoes of the beauty to make the edges of its mark on the ground more S-shaped.

Since the other party left the address of the dilapidated temple, they definitely wouldn't be waiting for her there. They probably left clues there to guide her to the next location.

And they will definitely be keeping an eye on her secretly, to prevent her from leaving clues for others.

The hoofprints were inconspicuous and the other party might not have thought of them, but just in case, Xiao Qingyin had Yi Shuihan deliver a message to Fu Weiyun, hoping that Fu Weiyun could have the gyrfalcon follow them in the air.

This way, even if the hoofprints become invalid, her whereabouts can still be tracked.

"Now you can rest assured, right?"

She said to Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan was not at all at ease, but she also knew that she could not possibly disregard Zuo Miaomiao's life.

All I could do was tell them, "Be very careful."

"OK."

After saying goodbye to him, Xiao Qingyin mounted her beautiful horse and headed towards the south gate, where the dilapidated temple was located.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the dilapidated temple and found the expected clues to the transfer.

The other party told her to go to Nanming Village.

Xiao Qingyin rode for an hour to Nanming Village, where a carriage was waiting for her.

She had no choice but to temporarily entrust the beauty to the villagers and board the carriage they had arranged.

We changed vehicles twice along the way and didn't arrive at our destination until it got dark.

A small mountain village.

There were only a few households in the village, and Xiao Qingyin was taken to one of them.

A masked man dressed in black was standing inside the room.

Upon seeing her, the other person said towards the square table in the middle of the main room, "Let's eat first."

His voice was rough, hoarse, and sinister.

Xiao Qingyin immediately recognized him as the leader of the group of men in black she had encountered at the foot of Hanshan Temple last time.

He immediately had a clear idea of ​​who was behind the kidnapping.

She said calmly, "Where is Zuo Miaomiao? I need to make sure she's safe."

The man in black snapped his fingers, and a masked woman in black led Zuo Miaomiao out of the room on the left.

Zuo Miaomiao's hands were bound, her mouth was gagged with a cloth, and her feet were tied with hemp rope, so she could only move in small steps.

Upon seeing Xiao Qingyin, her eyes widened, and she tried to rush over, but was held back by the woman in black.

She let out a whimpering sound and shook her head vigorously.

Xiao Qingyin understood what she meant and comforted her, "Don't worry, we will all leave safely."

Having said that, he looked at the leader of the men in black and said, "I'm here now, can you release the people?"

"We will release you after your heart transplant."

The leader of the men in black said expressionlessly.

Xiao Qingyin asked Zuo Miaomiao, "Have you eaten?"

Zuo Miaomiao shook her head.

The other party had given her food before, but she was so scared after being kidnapped here that she had no appetite.

"Let her have dinner with me," Xiao Qingyin said to the leader of the men in black. "Otherwise, don't expect me to help you."

The leader of the men in black nodded.

The woman in black forced Zuo Miaomiao to sit down at the table, then removed the gag from her mouth and untied the ropes from her hands.

He then stood behind Zuo Miaomiao and wrapped a thin wire around her neck.

Zuo Miaomiao sat ramrod straight, as if afraid that if she lowered her head, the other person would snap her neck.

"Sister Xiao..."

She had barely opened her mouth when Xiao Qingyin interrupted her, "Don't say anything, let's eat."

Zuo Miaomiao nodded obediently and ate with her silently.

The room was so quiet that the only sound was the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Qingyin finished her meal in just fifteen minutes, then said to the leader of the men in black, "We can begin the surgery now."

The leader of the men in black opened the door on the right and gestured for them to enter.

Xiao Qingyin went inside.

The room was brightly lit, with oil lamps burning on all four walls. In the center of the room was a large table, on which lay a person.

Beside the man was a porcelain plate containing a blood-soaked heart.

“This is the person who needs a heart transplant,” said the leader of the men in black. “He has already taken anesthesia and will wake up in an hour.”

He then pointed to a pile of instruments and bottles on the table and said, "You should be able to use these."

Xiao Qingyin initially thought the person on the table was Bai Shi, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was a middle-aged man.

The man had dark skin, a weathered face, and calloused hands; he was clearly a poor man who toiled year-round.

Is it possible for such a person to be involved with the Bai family and for her to go to great lengths to find her to exchange hearts?

While wondering, Xiao Qingyin examined the instruments and bottles on the table.

Most of these instruments are imitations of those in her medical kit.

Some of the bottles and jars contained high-proof liquor, some contained hemostatic drugs, and some contained... a golden object.

The golden object is naturally a golden insect.

Sure enough, the Bai family was connected to these insects.

While she was inspecting, the leader of the men in black left, and the woman in black who had just restrained Zuo Miaomiao came in.

After entering, she stood silently by the table.

Xiao Qingyin examined the middle-aged man's body and found that his heart failure was very serious. If he did not receive a heart transplant, he would not have much time left.

Without hesitation, she washed her hands and calmly opened her chest to donate her heart.

Because of the golden worm, all the suturing steps could be skipped, and she completed the entire operation in less than fifteen minutes.

Throughout this time, the woman in black kept a close eye on her movements.

A thought flashed through Xiao Qingyin's mind: This person is observing and learning.

Just then, a faint, harsh cry echoed from the rooftop.
