The villagers barely dispelled their suspicions about Lin Rui. The old village chief slapped his thigh and said, "The hunters are right at your doorstep. Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Take your children and run away!"
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
"Child, where is my child?"
"Mother, mother!"
After a moment of crying, the adults took the children out of the cave and looked for a place to hide.
Lin Rui spotted Hanbao in the crowd and stretched out his hand towards him: "Hanbao, come with me!"
But Hanbao looked at him with some vigilance, perhaps believing what the villagers said that he used him as bait and turned back to lead hunters to encircle the villagers.
Hanbao's aunt was carrying a baby on her back, holding her eldest son and Hanbao in her left and right hands respectively, and stumbling forward with a look of fear on her face.
Lin Rui was not angry. After all, he had only known Han Bao for one day. He had done what he could and left the rest to fate.
After a while, the entire cave was empty. Lin Rui didn't care whether these villagers were grateful to him or not, but God is merciful, and it was a good thing for him to block these people for a while while ensuring their safety.
He rushed to the entrance to the village, pulled down the nearby stones, pots and pans, and the roofs of the thatched houses and piled them there to block their entry.
After he had finished everything, before he could even catch his breath, he saw hunters carrying bows and arrows walking towards him in a hurry. There were about a dozen of them. Lin Rui's heart sank suddenly. They were coming with such force this time, they must have been well prepared.
The hunters' sight met Lin Rui's unexpectedly. The hunter carrying a bow and arrow had a ferocious look on his face. He drew out the arrow, aimed at Lin Rui and immediately shot the arrow.
Lin Rui squatted down faster than he realized, and the arrow shot into the thatched hut in front of him.
"Hurry! He's behind the rock!"
"What a fat sheep! It's rare to see such a strong and healthy man in this poor place. He will definitely fetch a good price."
"Such high-quality dishes must be provided to the adults first. They are rarely found in Yishu Pass these days."
"Hurry, hurry, don't let him get away!"
Lin Rui crouched down and walked under the cover of a thatched hut. From time to time, he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air from behind him.
Ever since he came to Yishu Pass, he and arrows have really developed an indissoluble bond. Both Chu Wu and hunters like to greet him with bows and arrows.
Oh my god! This isn't a business trip at public expense; it's a life-or-death experience at public expense. The first day I arrived at Yishu Pass, I was already running around like crazy. Yesterday, I just escaped a dangerous tiger, and today, I'm in the mouth of a wolf.
"Crash!" The wall of stones and straw he had just piled up as a temporary barrier was kicked open by them, and they strode in.
One of the hunters even spat heavily: "Damn it, it's over!"
"It's only this big. It can't go anywhere. Keep looking for it."
As they spoke, those people really walked towards the place where the old village chief had left. If they were caught, wouldn’t the entire village be wiped out?
Lin Rui deliberately made some noise at this time and chose to run in the opposite direction.
"There he is!"
"Chase after them!"
"Wait, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, go chase this fat sheep. The rest of you go find the remaining villagers. We are not here to catch one or two people this time. We need to catch a whole group to make it worthwhile."
"good!"
Lin Rui had a good rest yesterday, and he secretly gave himself a snack. Both his strength and condition were at their peak, and he ran very fast.
The three men chasing him from behind occasionally attacked him with bows and arrows, which actually slowed down their pursuit.
"Hoohoo, what on earth is this guy eating? He runs so fast!"
"Stop talking, hurry up and chase! If the three of you can't catch anyone, do you want to be killed by the boss for fun when you go back?"
"Chase!"
Lin Rui was a little exhausted after running for so long. Before he ran out of energy, he hid behind a rock and gasped for breath.
I heard someone behind me catch up: "Where's he? I just saw him running here!"
"He should be here. He must be hiding."
Lin Rui complained as he listened. This was completely different from what was shown in the TV series. According to the protagonist's halo, shouldn't these hunters be looking somewhere else at this moment?
As a result, these people began to search the area closely. He could clearly hear the sound of them hitting trees and bushes with bows and weapons. They were indeed looking for his hiding place.
He took out a dagger from his waist and held it in his hand, intending to make a surprise attack and then flash back to the space.
After seeing the pile of dry grass not far from the rock behind him being kicked over, he immediately jumped up from the rock and stabbed the hunter's back with his dagger.
But the hunter reacted quickly, turning around and catching the blade with his bare hands. Even as the sharp dagger cut his palm until it bled, he still had a sinister smile on his face: "I found you!"
Dude, why are you acting in a horror movie with me in broad daylight?
Lin Rui took advantage of this opportunity to kick him in the abdomen, sending him reeling back: "He's here!"
It’s good to have more people, this guy can even call for help!
The sound of footsteps running towards here at full speed was getting closer and closer. Lin Rui chose a small path that was not blocked and ran wildly, with the hunter behind him following closely.
Just when the hunter's tail was about to catch Lin Rui, Lin Rui dodged and then dodged. When the hunter caught up with the place where Lin Rui turned, he found that there was no one there.
The two people chasing after him asked, "Where are the people?"
The hunter didn't know how to explain: "I was clearly here just now, I just dodged!"
The three of them, unwilling to believe anything, searched the place several times, but found no one.
"Damn it, where did all these fat sheep go?"
"I heard that in mountains where people often die, strange creatures like mountain ghosts are born. They like to eat human hearts and livers, appear and disappear mysteriously, and hunt humans silently."
"Let's go too. If the boss asks, just say he was taken away by a mountain ghost."
"Can you trust me, Boss?"
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the explanation. Why don't you leave? Are you waiting for the mountain ghost to take us away again?"
"That's right. Let's go, let's go find those hiding villagers and sell them for a higher price. The information the gambling house gave us is really correct. It's enough for us to have some fun for a while."
The more the three talked, the farther their voices faded. Lin Rui stayed in the mansion for a quarter of an hour before coming out. The surroundings were empty and the hunter had already left.
As he was about to leave, he heard screams and wails coming from the forest in the opposite direction, and soon the sounds stopped abruptly.
This was definitely not a good sign. He immediately walked over there, hoping that the old village chief could hold on. Only he knew the path to Huangmo Pass!
He walked carefully on the rugged mountain. In order to avoid making his clothes conspicuous, he put on a gray-brown windbreaker on the outside, which blended in with the color of the winter forest.
When we returned to the village between the two roads, we found that many people were already kneeling there. They were all villagers who were found by hunters and hid in the mountains.
