As the bell rang, noises were heard from several bamboo houses at the same time.
Before Lin Yi could untie the rope around his ankles, he was surrounded by the women who rushed out of the bamboo house, and then several girls holding pointed bamboo spears followed closely behind the women.
They looked nervous, and the women were holding homemade "weapons" in their hands. The sharp bamboo sticks of the girls were about to poke his nose.
Lin Yi chuckled: "Have we accidentally entered the Kingdom of Women?"
The women looked at each other and whispered, "Do you know each other?"
“I don’t think I’ve seen it.”
"Ask Ye Zi to come out and have a look. If it's from there, she'll definitely recognize it."
"No, if someone comes from there and recognizes Ye Zi, Ye Zi will be in danger."
"If that's where he came from, we definitely can't let him go."
"If you don't let him go, are you going to kill him? Do you dare to kill anyone?"
"I...I don't dare."
"I don't dare to kill him, but I can't let him go. Do I have to keep him alive?"
Lin Yi saw that the women were deadlocked on how to deal with him, but he was not very comfortable being hung here, so he said, "Call Qiao Sanye out. I'm not a bad person. You'll know when she comes."
The women's discussion suddenly stopped. They didn't expect him to say that. This person could find this place and even called out Ye's sister's full name. Could it be that Ye told him?
"Do you really know Ye Zi?" A woman with a burn on her right cheek asked him in a hoarse voice.
Lin Yi hummed.
The scalded woman instructed a girl of eight or nine years old next to her: "Nier, go to the hot spring and find your sister Ye Zi."
Nier put away the bamboo spear in her hand, responded crisply, turned around and ran deeper into the valley.
There is a hot spring in this valley. The water temperature of the spring is maintained at 30 to 40 degrees all year round. Qiao Sanye takes a bath in this spring pool every time she comes here. She hurried here last night and had to rush back to the village after breakfast this morning, so she came here to take a bath before dawn.
When Qiao Sanye heard Ni'er come over and say that a young man with narrow eyebrows, fair skin, and who looked like a bad guy, broke into the valley, triggered a mechanism, and asked to see her specifically, she frowned.
A young man with narrow eyebrows and eyes who doesn't look like a good person at first glance?
Isn't this the bad guy who broke into her house yesterday?
Didn't he leave?
Why are you back again?
Found this place?
Qiao Sanye hurriedly got up from the hot spring, wiped himself roughly, put on his clothes, and ran out with Ni'er. Could it be that he had led this man here? If it was because of him that the valley was exposed to the eyes of the people in the village, then it would be her fault.
When she ran closer, the women, both big and small, immediately made way for her, but they never let down their guard, and the tip of the bamboo was still against Lin Yi's neck.
"Is it really you? Didn't you leave? How did you get here?" Qiao Sanye asked sternly.
The burned woman tugged at Qiao Sanye's sleeve and asked quietly, "Where did it come from?"
Sanye patted the back of her hand soothingly: "No, he... is my sister-in-law's... family member, the one I told you about yesterday."
When they heard that he was not from the village, the women all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yi, imprisoned, still didn't forget to be mean. He didn't answer Qiao Sanye's words. Instead, he hung upside down on the tree with his arms folded and teased Qiao Sanye: "You can't judge a person by appearance, and you can't measure the sea by a bucket. You're not old, but you're playing big. You actually have a beautiful woman in this valley?"
The women were furious, and Qiao Sanye raised his eyebrows, "Are you asking me to take revenge on you?"
She took the kitchen knife from the scalded woman and slapped Lin Yi on both cheeks with the back of the knife. "Today is different from yesterday. Today I am the knife and you are the meat. How dare you speak without thinking? If you don't tell me the truth, even for Tie Niu and my sister-in-law's sake, I can't let you leave here easily!"
