As the night deepened, the mess in the house was finally cleaned up.

After all this ordeal, Zhou Fengxia was shocked and angry. Coupled with the running around during the day and the excitement at the dinner, she was already physically and mentally exhausted.

After being comforted repeatedly by Yu Bai and Yunian, he finally fell into a deep sleep with a feeling of depression.

After confirming that his mother's breathing had become even and long, Yu Bai moved lightly, closed the door quietly, and walked out of the house.

But she did not go to Old Man Yu's house at the village entrance to argue, as that would only alert the enemy and would be of no benefit.

Her target was clear - Li Baizhong's family.

However, not long after he stepped out of his dilapidated courtyard gate, he felt a familiar sense of being watched from behind.

Without looking back, Yu Bai knew who it was.

It could be her second uncle or cousins.

She remained calm and continued to maintain her previous pace, walking towards the dark grove at the entrance of the village.

Sure enough, the footsteps behind him became more hurried.

Just as he passed the edge of the woods, Yu Bai paused, then suddenly flashed and disappeared behind an old locust tree with lush branches and leaves on the side of the road, casting a large shadow.

Then, she disappeared into the space.

“Huff…Huff…”

In just two or three breaths, the two brothers Yu Peng and Yu Xiang caught up to the tree, panting and looking around.

“Where are the people?!”

Yu Xiang lowered his voice, his tone full of surprise.

"I clearly saw her walking here just now! How come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

The open space behind the tree was empty except for the swaying shadows of the trees, without even a ghost in sight.

"It must be hidden! Let's split up and look for it."

The two immediately split into two sides, and plunged deeper into the dark woods, searching around.

In the space, Yu Bai watched all this coldly.

Just as Yu Xiang was walking away alone, Yu Bai suddenly appeared behind him!

Before Yu Xiang could react, he was hit on the back of his neck with a stick!

“Hmm!”

Yu Xiang couldn't even hum a full hum. He only made a short, muffled sound before his body collapsed limply to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Yu Bai ignored Yu Xiang's fainting. She squatted down very quickly and reached directly into Yu Xiang's bulging pocket.

Soon, she took out a stack of banknotes tightly tied with a rubber band and a neatly folded old handkerchief.

When I opened the handkerchief, inside were indeed my mother's silver rings, which were of simple style and bore the marks of time.

"Oh."

Yu Bai uttered a very light sneer.

As she expected, Yu Xiang had no intention of handing over the 30,000 yuan to Old Man Yu and the others, but wanted to hide it secretly!

Suddenly, Yu Bai remembered the time when he and his siblings were teased and bullied by Yu Peng and Yu Xiang when they were young.

She couldn't help but raise her feet in anger and kicked the soft flesh on the inside of Yu Xiang's thighs twice hard and mercilessly!

"Bang! Bang!"

The dull sound of flesh hitting flesh rang out in the silent forest, and Yu Xiang's body twitched twice instinctively.

After doing all this, Yu Bai carefully put away the money and ring, turned around and walked out of the woods, walking towards Li Baizhong's house without stopping.

As for what Yu Peng would do when he found out his beloved brother had become like this, she didn't even have the slightest curiosity.

And shortly after Yu Bai's figure completely disappeared into the night.

"Second brother? Second brother!!"

Yu Peng's anxious and terrified cries came from the depths of the forest.

He looked around but couldn't find anyone. He was getting scared and came back following the sound. However, he was shocked to see his brother lying straight under the tree, motionless!

"Second brother! You...don't scare me!"

Yu Peng was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He rolled and crawled over and put his trembling fingers under Yu Xiang's nose.

The faint but real breath made his heart, which had risen to his throat, suddenly drop back into his stomach. He felt as if all his strength had been drained away and he collapsed to the ground.

"Huh... okay... okay..."

He gasped for breath, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

But looking around, the dark forest was like a monster with a huge mouth, terrifyingly quiet.

Yu Bai's strange disappearance just now, and his brother's silent fall to the ground...

An indescribable chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!

"This is weird! This place is so fucking weird!"

Yu Peng stood up with a start. His only thought now was to leave this damn place as soon as possible!

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to carry his unconscious brother on his back. He staggered towards home without looking back, almost running away.

Everything that happened on this strange night was filled with an evil that sent chills down his spine!

He doesn't want to stay even a second longer!
