Chapter 257: Each Going Back



His life was fought for by his brother. Is he going to disappoint his brother's expectations so soon?

He is unwilling to accept it!

I really can't accept this!

The snake that was swimming towards Su Xinguang heard the movement behind it, stopped moving forward, and slowly turned its head to look behind.

The man with the hammer was fully focused on Su Xinguang, so naturally he didn't notice the poisonous snake.

As he approached, the snake felt threatened and spit out its tongue at the man, but the man on the other side didn't pay any attention to its warning.

The man with the hammer approached step by step, staring at the figure hiding behind the bushes with narrowed eyes, his eyes fierce.

He wanted to see who was hiding there.

When he was about to get closer, something suddenly pounced towards him.

The man with the hammer subconsciously raised his hand to block it. He felt a pain in his arm. He looked down and saw a snake biting his arm.

Damn it!

The hammer man was very fast and grabbed the venomous snake that was trying to escape.

The poisonous snake was caught in the hand of the man with the hammer, and he tore the snake apart with great force. The decisive and bloody scene once again gave Su Xinguang a huge shock.

No longer in danger from the poisonous snake, Su Xinguang had no more worries and turned around and ran.

As soon as he stood up and started running, the man with the hammer saw clearly who was hiding behind the bushes.

He never expected that it was a child.

He couldn't help but think of what his companion had said before and heard the child crying.

It looks like this is the child.

From the time they appeared there, to the time they left, and then returned; going back and forth several times, the child stayed here all the time and was not discovered by them.

How he did it.

This surprised the man.

When the man saw him running away, he did not chase him. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to squeeze out the poison from his arm.

He looked down at the poisonous snake that he had torn in half, and searched around the bushes for herbs that could detoxify it.

After a while, he found a detoxifying herb under a stone not far away. He put the herb into his mouth, chewed it up, and then applied it to the arm that had been bitten by the poisonous snake. He tore off a piece of cloth and bandaged it roughly.

After doing all this, the man with the hammer picked up the gold ingots on the ground and put the money back on his back.

He glanced in the direction Su Xinguang left and had no intention of chasing him.

Just a child.

It's hard for a child of that age to survive in this world.

Even if you don't do anything yourself, there is a high probability that you will die.

I should be kind and let him live a little longer. If he survives and reaches adulthood, that is his good fortune.

The man turned and left.

Su Xinguang didn't know that the man with the hammer didn't catch up with him and just kept running.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to run, run, run...the farther the better.

Only by keeping running can he survive and avoid being killed by the people behind him.

He ran tirelessly. Even though his legs were numb and his chest felt like it was on fire, he still persisted, until... a protruding stone tripped his running feet.

The man flew forward like an arrow and fell heavily into the weeds.

Su Xinguang was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a while. After he had recovered for a while, he finally got up from the ground. The pain in his ankle made his handsome little brows frown tightly.

“Wuwuwu…”

It hurts so much!

Su Xinguang wanted to cry, and tears fell again uncontrollably.

He looked around blankly, then glanced behind him, but saw no one chasing him.

Only at this moment did he realize that he had escaped and he would not die.

He found a place and leaned against a big tree. After days of running, his tense nerves relaxed and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Su Xinguang woke up slowly after the sunlight shining on his head caused him pain.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the scorching sun shining on me through the branches.

Glancing at the sunlight, Su Xinguang was shocked. He didn't expect that it would be almost noon when he woke up.

He stood up and looked around blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings.

He first took out the food from the package and ate the millet raw, chewing it in his mouth and then drinking a mouthful of water. After eating a handful of millet, he stood up and looked around. He didn't know which direction was south, so he walked in one direction based on his intuition.

Although the forest was very dangerous with snakes, insects, rats and ants, the official road outside was even more dangerous, so he did not plan to go to the official road, but to walk along the forest.

The two brothers of the Su family took different paths.

Time goes back to when Su Yin and the others left Linzhou Prefecture...

Linzhou Prefecture

Ever since Su Yin and the others left, Su Xiaozhong no longer had any worries, and he could act as he pleased in the subsequent operations, including the fog array he had set up earlier, which had already started to take effect.

At this time, in the Qingfeng Inn, the man with the ghost mask sat at the top, looking coldly at his subordinates kneeling below.

The subordinate was reporting the situation respectfully, "Your Excellency, we traveled south along the official road and finally caught up with the passenger ship at the next stop, the pier. We found the group of people, and after a careful investigation, we found that they were not the ones we were looking for."

"no?"

That's strange!

Although the group of people looked suspicious and matched the team they were looking for, the ghost-faced man did not give up looking for other clues while staying in Linzhou Prefecture, but he did not find any clues. The only one that matched was that team.

"Are you sure?" the ghost-faced man asked coldly.

"I am sure."

"How did they get so many tickets?" the ghost-faced man asked again.

"Your Excellency, they got so many tickets for them through a man who had connections."

"Where is that guy?"

The man wearing the ghost mask had a bad feeling.

"Your Excellency, when we went to look for him, he had already disappeared."

The fact that they disappeared without a trace just goes to show that someone in Linzhou Prefecture is covering up for that group of people.

If this is the case, the group of people they are looking for may not be simple, and perhaps they will gain something this time.

There was a sharp light in the ghost-faced man's deep eyes.

In such a huge Linzhou Prefecture, only a few forces have such strength.

"From today on, we will do our utmost to search for that famous boy."

“Yes.”

Three days later, the people below finally caught the boy.

In a private room on the second floor of Qingfeng Inn, a thin man with a bruised face and nose was lying on the ground, trembling as he looked at the person above.

"Seven days ago, you got a boat ticket for a group of nearly 200 people. Is that true?"

"Yes, that's true." The boy nodded in horror.

"Who told you to do this?"

The boy said timidly, "No one told me to do that. I just happened to run into that group of people and felt sorry for them. I happened to know the manager of the passenger ship, so I helped them and made some money."
