Chapter 427 Lead Away

Song Jin stared at his children who were still sleeping soundly on the bed.

After a while, she got up and left the house.

The old man sitting in the yard stood up immediately when he saw Song Jin coming out. Compared with his casualness before, he was now much more reserved. From his limited experience, he understood that the young lady in front of him was not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people wouldn't kill someone and still be so calm.

Song Jin said, "I want to leave the village and lead those people away, so I decided to go south. Please show me a route. When my husband comes back, there is no need to hide what happened tonight. He will know what he did. Also, I'll leave our two children to your family."

After saying this, she bowed to the old man.

The old man was terrified, "No need to do this, no need to do this."

Song Jin said that she would not bring trouble to his family and village, and the best way was for her to divert the other party's attention.

Next, the old man told Song Jin about the situation on the southern hill. "The environment on the southern hill is relatively safe. It's where the villagers often collect firewood. There are only some pheasants and rabbits. We haven't seen any large prey in the area for several years."

The old man gave Song Jin the remaining wound medicine at home, thought for a moment and took out a hunting bow and arrow from the house, "Carry this bow and arrow with you for self-defense."

There are ten long arrows in total.

It is the only arrow left in this house.

Song Jin thanked him again.

He put the medicine into the backpack, picked up the bow and arrow and was about to walk out of the fence.

"Wait a minute, young lady."

The old woman in the house came out, took out an unlit torch and a fire starter, as well as a water bag, and handed them to Song Jin, "These things will be useful when we go into the mountains at night."

Song Jin thanked him again.

After all, there are more good people in this world.

He glanced at the house where his two children lived, turned around and strode away, soon blending into the night.

There are already some people in the village who get up early.

There was smoke rising from the kitchen and the sound of dogs barking.

Song Jin walked quickly out of the village and headed towards the path to Nanshan, her body hidden by tall grass and bushes. She also held a wooden stick in her hand, which she knocked on the grass from time to time, and could also be used as a walking stick.

From last night till now.

Song Jin never rested.

She was actually quite tired, but her mind had been tense after the murder, and she did not dare to relax for even a moment until the danger was over.

Before daybreak, Song Jin finally climbed over the mountain.

Sitting on a stone exhausted.

She took out the water bag, opened the stopper, and drank the remaining water. When she had recovered her breath, she touched her lower abdomen again. After three days of rest, her lower abdomen was no longer painful.

This time it started to hurt again.

There is also a wound on my shoulder, and the pain has never subsided.

But she couldn't care less about these and continued walking to the foot of the mountain. She didn't take the small path, but took a new path and erased her previous traces.

In an open muddy area, the surrounding hay was cleared to create a circle, and a small pit was dug in the middle.

Throw the weeds into the pit.

No matter whether they were dry or not, as well as some leaves and not-quite-dry branches, they were all thrown in. When the pile was almost full, they were lit with a tinder.

Wait for the black smoke to gradually rise.

Song Jin left many traces around, and then, as if inadvertently, he left another clue, which was a footprint heading south, on the grass.

And her people were determined to continue heading south.

Early in the morning, in a cave on a hill.

There are more than a dozen killers gathered here.

Someone asked, "It's dawn, where are Xiang Wu and Liu San?"

"Who knows? They said they would check the places they searched yesterday again." The person who answered sarcastically laughed, "I suspect they found the treasure and wanted to keep it for themselves, so they left us alone."

"If you doubt it, why don't you follow?"

"Who wants to go there so late at night? You've been feeding mosquitoes for a few days, aren't you tired of it?"

The boss in charge wakes up and tells the men to continue searching.

"Who's going to look for them..."

He was about to arrange for the two men to look for Liu San and Xiang Wu, when a wisp of black smoke appeared in the sky to the south, he asked coldly, "Is there a village over there?"

"To answer the boss, no."

A thin man answered and speculated, "Could it be that Liu San and his men have found their target and sent us a signal? Hunters won't light a fire in the mountains, let alone one that emits black smoke."

The man immediately decided, "Go check it out!"

The group quickly walked towards Nan.

The people following behind were somewhat reluctant.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Compared to Song Jin who did not receive any news while fleeing, those who were chasing her were much more informed. Before entering the mountains, they knew that the rebels in the capital had failed in their siege of the city, Mr. Yan had died, and their lord had been captured.

Unfortunately, this hunting order was issued by the lord himself.

Don't allow them to give up halfway.

The recent situation is very unfavorable to them. The officers and soldiers are like crazy. They catch anyone wearing a mask without asking why, forcing them to throw away the masks.

Someone walking at the back whispered, "Could Liu San and Xiang Wu have escaped privately?"

"Is it unnecessary?" another person whispered.

"Mr. Yan is dead, the master has been captured, do you still expect the Liu family to succeed?"

After a pause, the man said angrily, "In my opinion, you should go to the capital to save your master. What's the point of hunting down a woman and a child? A real man should die on the battlefield."

"Do you think you're somebody?" the man laughed.

Suddenly, their conversation came to an abrupt halt.

Their boss was holding the hilt of a knife, looking sinisterly at the two people who were lagging behind. The two men were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats and quickly quickened their pace.

A group of people rushed to the scene.

All I saw was a pile of burnt ashes.

After taking another look at the messy scene, the erased footprints showed that it had been swept but not swept clean. A dozen people began to search for traces and found that someone was walking to the south.

"Chase!"

A dozen people chased to the south.

Song Jin, who was walking south, was not in a good situation at the moment.

As she walked, she found that her lower abdomen was getting more and more painful, so painful that the hair on her temples were wet, as if something was flowing out. At this moment, she remembered something.

She didn't have her period this month.

Song Jin covered her belly, leaned against a tree, and panted slightly. She had realized that she was probably pregnant. It was just that the fetus was not able to stay still.

At this moment, her whole body was numb.

However, she couldn't afford to indulge in pain and sadness at this moment. Song Jin recovered and continued to move forward.

Deep into the dense forest in the south.

The pursuers behind finally caught up with the place where Song Jin had been sitting half an hour later and saw dried blood under the roots of the tree.

"Hey, the other party is injured?"

The person who discovered it reached out and touched the bloodstain, and based on the traces, he was able to identify one thing, "Just one person?"

One person is on the run, and he is injured.
