Seeing Xiao Ruyu's confused expression, Eleven asked Doctor Yang to carry her to the top of the wall and hold her steadily.
In the moonlight, Xiao Ruyu only saw a dark shadow.
He was stealthily putting the body into a sack and tiptoeing to climb over the wall to leave.
He doesn't look like a government official.
【This person is stealing corpses! 】
Xiao Ruyu gave Eleven a wink, and they jumped off the wall and waited at the door.
As the corpse thief showed up, a faint voice sounded behind him.
"What are you doing?! Hand over the body!"
Doctor Yang stood at the door, staring at him angrily.
There is definitely something wrong with this corpse!
Otherwise, why would someone be so anxious to steal it in the middle of the night!
"Ah! Ghost——"
The corpse thief was so frightened that he ran away.
"Hurry up and chase him, don't let him get away!"
Xiao Ruyu pointed with her little hand and shouted anxiously.
Eleven immediately pulled a horse out of the stable, held her in his arms, and rode after her at full speed.
Unexpectedly, the horse thief was well prepared and had a horse ready at the door.
The two of them chased each other and soon left the city.
Xiao Ruyu looked back and found that Doctor Yang had not caught up.
【Why didn’t Master catch up? 】
Before they had time to think, they had already arrived at an open space in the suburbs.
The horse thief suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped unexpectedly.
【Eleven, beware of an ambush! 】
Xiao Ruyu quickly spoke up to remind him.
But when he looked closely, he saw Doctor Yang riding a horse not far away, blocking the road ahead.
[Master! How did you take a shortcut to catch up with me?]
Xiao Ruyu exclaimed in surprise and waved her hand at him.
“Damn it.”
The horse thief cursed inwardly, but did not panic. Instead, he dismounted calmly.
"You think this is how you can catch me?"
Xiao Ruyu looked at his face and thought something was wrong.
The next second, two or three people dropped from the sky and stared at them warily.
"Why did you come just now?"
The horse thief talked to several people in a low voice.
"It's not that you were delayed on the road, what's going on with you?"
One person looked at the blockade in front and behind and asked quietly.
"They are just two little kids. The other one is not dangerous. Kill them both."
The corpse thief made a gesture of wiping his neck and looked at the few people.
Eleven pinched Xiao Ruyu's hand and took a few steps back.
"Princess, be careful and hide behind Eleven."
"Just a few villains. Eleven can handle it."
After saying that, he drew his sword and rushed forward.
Those people didn't expect Eleven to be so quick and were caught off guard for a moment.
The corpse stealer was obviously not a martial artist, and he was knocked to the ground after failing to block two moves.
When Xiao Ruyu was cheering for Eleven from behind, he caught a glimpse of the pattern on the corpse thief's neck.
That pattern is so familiar...
"He's a member of a cult!"
She suddenly remembered and yelled at Eleven.
Doctor Yang also reacted and shouted angrily, "Catch them alive, don't let them escape!"
Eleven quickly knocked down the other two and approached the corpse stealer step by step, wanting to take him away with the corpse.
The corpse thief became determined and took something out from his arms.
"Eleven, be careful, he has a hidden weapon!"
Xiao Ruyu noticed his actions quickly and spoke up to remind him.
Eleven took a few steps back, watching his movements warily.
The corpse thief simply slashed hard and threw the object onto the corpse.
A raging fire broke out instantly, and the corpse gradually shrank in the flames.
It’s indeed the fire-burning technique!
Xiao Ruyu recognized the method as exactly the same as that used in the tea shop and rushed forward to put out the fire.
Eleven hugged her and stopped her from moving forward.
"Little princess, the fire is too big. You must not move forward."
“Ahem…”
The smoke was everywhere and Xiao Ruyu was choking and coughing.
Yu Guangzhong, the corpse thief turned around and tried to escape.
[Master, ahem…stop him…]
Xiao Ruyu still wanted to struggle, but the corpse thief had already disappeared into the bushes.
The fire burned the body completely, leaving only a pile of ashes.
When the wind blew, not even a trace of ashes was left.
A few people came out covered in dust and dirt, and saw that the cult members had already fled far away.
[Still couldn't catch them! ]
Xiao Ruyu sat on the ground in frustration, pulling out the grass beside him angrily.
[Master, now that the body is gone, we can no longer prove our innocence.]
What should we do next?
Doctor Yang sighed, his eyes dim.
"Now that we have escaped from prison, there is no way we can go back."
"Forget it, this is all we can do for now, let's continue on our way."
"I will clear my name in the future."
…
The three of them hurriedly slipped back to the inn, packed their luggage, and continued walking southwest.
If you want to go to the Miao area first, you must pass through the city.
Doctor Yang took Xiao Ruyu and drove along a remote path.
"The officers and soldiers have already discovered that we have escaped from prison. They will definitely send people to arrest us."
"We must be careful now and not reveal our whereabouts."
As they were talking, several soldiers came over from a distance.
[Master, the soldiers are coming! Run!]
Xiao Ruyu spoke nervously, and dragged him and Eleven to find a place to hide.
The officers and soldiers did not see the few people, but took out a piece of paper from their pockets and pasted it on the wall.
After the officers and soldiers left, the people came over curiously.
Doctor Yang led the two of them in, wanting to see clearly what it was.
The next moment, all three of them were dumbfounded.
The portraits of the three people were posted on a notice board, with a reward order attached.
"The fugitive escaped from prison yesterday. Anyone who reports the escape will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver."
Looking at the portrait with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, Xiao Ruyu's mouth twitched.
[Who drew this? How could I be drawn so ugly, like a giant toad?]
Not only that, the list also clearly states the three people's clothing and body shapes.
Doctor Yang thought something was wrong and quickly pulled the two away.
"We are now wanted by the whole city, and we can no longer wear the clothes we are wearing."
He carried Xiao Ruyu into a clothing store and picked out a set of clothes for them.
Xiao Ruyu looked at the brand new clothes and touched the fabric.
[Master, the clothes you picked are very beautiful.]
Doctor Yang was just about to change his clothes when he suddenly noticed that the waiter at the door was looking at him with a strange look.
He looked in the direction of the three people and whispered something to the boss.
The boss's face changed immediately and he turned and left.
"Oh no, they seem to have discovered it."
Doctor Yang spoke quietly, wanting to quickly change his clothes and leave.
Before he finished changing, several soldiers suddenly walked towards him not far from the door.
【Master, it seems we have been discovered. 】
【Run! 】
Xiao Ruyu also noticed something was wrong and quickly took the things.
She yelled, pulled Eleven out of the door and ran away.
Turning around, he saw Doctor Yang following closely behind the two of them, running away in a panic, grabbing the clothes in his hands.
【Master, you are not wearing pants. 】
