Looking at Han Yiyi's concerned expression, Yun Xiao was overjoyed. He couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, and he felt like he now knew how to handle this little woman in front of him...
The two had food and drink in the cave, unaware that just above them, where they had fallen, several men were engaged in a life-or-death struggle with several wolves.
These men were the ones sent by Old Madam Yun to assassinate Han Yiyi.
As soon as they left the capital, it started to rain. Since their families were in the hands of Old Madam Yun, they dared not delay their mission and could only proceed in the rain. However, after entering Zhushan Village, they did not see a single living person.
Yes, they didn't see any living people, but there were dead people floating on the water. And the dead people they saw were none other than Old Lady Huang, who had been abandoned at the Huang family's house by Guilan and Huang Dachuan.
Actually, there was another reason why Guilan instigated Huang Dachuan to leave Old Lady Huang alone in the thatched hut: Old Lady Huang had aborted Guilan's child.
Because of the last time Old Lady Huang saved Guilan, she was so angry that she vomited blood. After Huang Dachuan took her to the clinic, Guilan used the excuse of her unborn child to say that the family had no money. She said that if they sold the land and house and gave all the money to Old Lady Huang for treatment, the child would only starve to death after it was born.
Because of this incident, Old Lady Huang hated Guilan even more. One day, when Guilan wasn't paying attention, she picked up a stool and smashed it into Guilan's stomach with all her might. As a result, Guilan lost her baby. When Guilan left, she urged Huang Dachuan to leave Old Lady Huang alone in the thatched hut to fend for herself.
However, Huang's father naturally didn't want to carry a burden while fleeing, and besides, he was getting old and would have to rely on his son and daughter-in-law in the future, so he ignored Huang's old woman's shouts.
Meanwhile, the assassins were already used to seeing dead bodies. After all, this rain was nationwide, and countless rooms had collapsed because of it. Countless people had been crushed or drowned. Therefore, they had seen quite a few dead bodies along the way.
That's why they weren't surprised to see the old woman floating around; on the contrary, they found it strange that only she had died.
When they arrived at Han Yi's house, after circling around it a few times, they guessed that the villagers must have gone up the mountain.
Perhaps the villagers' commotion on the mountain was too great, which alerted the wolves in the vicinity. However, due to the large number of villagers, the wolves dared not make any rash moves.
These few people were unlucky; as soon as everyone else left, the wolf targeted them, since in the wolf's eyes, they were alone.
Looking at the wolves' glowing green eyes, the group subconsciously swallowed. They were already exhausted from days of traveling in the rain, and now encountering these hungry wolves meant they were more than just going to their deaths...
After eating and drinking his fill in the cave, Han Yiyi felt sleepy. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard a "thump".
Upon hearing this voice, not only was Han Yiyi startled, but even Yun Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.
Therefore, the two rushed to the cave entrance to check. Upon seeing the situation in the water below, Yun Xiao quickly raised his hand to cover Han Yiyi's eyes.
It turned out that what fell from above was a person covered in blood, and the blood even stained the murky water red.
It turned out that the person who fought the wolf up there was bitten by the wolf and then jumped off the cliff with all his might.
When Yun Xiao saw the man's face, his eyes turned cold. He recognized him immediately; he was one of the assassins his Yun family had trained. The fact that the assassin was here meant he was sent by someone and to kill someone.
Yun Xiao saw the man, and the man naturally saw Yun Xiao as well. His eyes lit up, and he was about to shout for Yun Xiao to save him when he felt something stuck in his throat.
Yun Xiao kicked a small pebble into the man's mouth. The man's two arms had been bitten off by wolves, and he was unable to save himself in the water. Now that his throat was blocked, he stopped breathing in less than the time it takes to drink a bowl of tea.
Han Yiyi's eyes had been covered by Yun Xiao, so she didn't know what Yun Xiao had done. Naturally, she was still a little scared when she caught a glimpse of the man covered in blood.
Once everyone had completely stopped breathing and drifted away, Yun Xiao released his hand from Han Yiyi's eyes and then spoke softly.
"Alright, it's nothing now, but the coldness in your eyes hasn't dissipated..."
He hadn't expected his grandmother to try again after failing the first time. Thinking of this, a hint of determination and coldness flashed quickly in Yun Xiao's eyes, but it disappeared just as soon as Han Yi looked at him.
"How come this person is covered in blood...?"
Hearing Han Yiyi's question, he thought for a moment before speaking.
"Perhaps we encountered a pack of wolves..."
Meanwhile, inside the Yun residence, Old Madam Yun, upon learning that the people sent out to search for Yun Xiao had still not found anything, smashed a teacup in anger.
"Useless things, all useless things, so many people and not even one person can be found."
After a moment of hesitation, he asked again, "Have any news come from those people who were sent to kill that little bitch...?"
"not yet……".
Hearing another negative answer, Old Madam Yun felt dizzy. In her opinion, if it weren't for Han Yiyi, she wouldn't have gone to Ping'an Town to search for Han Yiyi, and naturally she wouldn't have encountered the flood. Now that Han Yiyi is missing, she hates Han Yiyi even more. She thinks that if Han Yiyi appeared in front of her now, she would definitely skin her alive.
At this moment, it wasn't just Old Madam Yun who was extremely anxious. As Nangong Yuan watched more and more people being drowned or crushed to death, his heart sank deeper and deeper...
He knew that Han Yiyi possessed that system, and he knew it was very powerful, but he didn't know if it would be useful in the face of floods...
Although he was anxious, he couldn't leave Kyoto. With so many refugees outside the city, he couldn't abandon everything to go find Han Yiyi.
Perhaps Nangong Yuan is a very good, excellent, trustworthy and reliable general to Bei Chen, but perhaps he is not a suitable candidate for Han Yiyi.
Suddenly I understand why some people say, "I'd rather be pampered by a 'bad guy' than loved by a gentleman..."
Zicheng and Zihui were so worried that they couldn't eat. Seeing that the two had obviously lost weight, Madam Nangong and Nangong Ling really wished they could go find Han Yiyi themselves.
