Coming back to his senses from the excitement, Qi Qi suddenly noticed that there was a warm, wet liquid soaking his shoulder.
Qi Qi suddenly looked up and saw that Xuan Liu's eyes were still open. An arrowhead had pierced through him from behind, with only a small part of the arrowhead protruding from his front: "Are you alright? Xuan Liu? Xuan Liu!"
Xuan Liu's voice gradually weakened: "Father-in-law, watch the road ahead. Turn right ahead, and after a few hundred meters, there is a small grove of trees. Go through it, and you will reach Wu Family Village."
He coughed up blood, and Qi Qi felt his heart pounding: "I know, I know, don't say anything, lean on my shoulder and rest, let's go find a place to treat our injuries!"
Xuan Liu spat out another mouthful of blood: "Once we arrive, search carefully. You must find, find our master!"
Qi Qi suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I've hurt you all."
Qi Qi couldn't continue speaking because the sound of horses' hooves was catching up behind him again. Xuan Liu interrupted him, his voice suddenly becoming more energetic: "Father-in-law, everything depends on you!"
He used his internal energy to dismount from his horse. Qi Qi turned around and saw him stagger. Then he drew his sword and slashed the leg of the leading pursuer's horse.
Touched once again, Qi Qi wondered what kind of emotional or material foundation it would take to support such a spirit of selflessness and to pay the price of one's life for others.
I pulled hard on the reins, and the wind whipped against my face.
After rushing through the woods, there was indeed a village. Qi Qi counted the corpses he had seen before and followed the trail. When he arrived at the village, some villagers were talking around a horse. When they saw Qi Qi in the distance, they scattered in panic.
Qi Qi brandished his dagger and shouted, "The people who came here earlier went in that direction!"
One of the bolder villagers pointed behind them: "They went towards the Sifang River!"
Qi Qi threatened him, "Is it true or false? If it's false, I'll come back later to take your head!"
The villager covered his head and ran away, shouting, "It's true!"
Qi Qi followed the direction he pointed in. The roads in the countryside were really hard to walk on. The road they had just passed was not difficult to walk on because it led to the city and the ground had dried up after several days of no rain. But this narrow path was really hard to walk on because it was bumpy and uneven.
Seeing this, Qi Qi had no choice but to slow down. As he slowed down, he noticed something different: in the still-dark night, there were traces of blood on the ground by the roadside.
Qi Qi had no choice but to quickly dismount and run forward. He had been lucky all along, and he hoped he could find the person smoothly soon.
Just as he was lost in thought, the system's voice suddenly rang out: [Host, what are you doing?]
Qi Qi was overjoyed: "Tongtong! You scared me to death in the middle of the night."
The system chuckled: "You seem quite brave."
Qi Qi: "Let's not talk about that now, I need to find them right away!"
System: [The two of them?]
Qi Qi: "Huangfu Yi and Gu Siyan have clashed. The situation is not good. I'm afraid Huangfu Yi will die."
The system said: [What if something happens to Gu Siyan?]
Qi Qi was taken aback: "He's the male lead, how could anything happen to him?"
The system suddenly said again: [Left side.]
Qi Qi: "Left side? What left side?"
System: [The blood is on the left.]
Qi Qi glanced at it and saw an inconspicuous drop of blood brushing against the tree: "Tongtong, you're amazing! I love you to death!"
System: [Heh, you say that every time, don't you get tired of it?]
Qi Qi: "As long as you don't get tired of it, I'll tell you 'I love you, I love you, I love you' every day!"
System: [……～～～]
It was almost nine o'clock, and it was already getting late. Qi Qi entered the woods, and the world around him immediately became quiet, with only the sound of leaves and crickets...
And, and... I suddenly kicked something—a bloodstained knife.
Qi Qi picked it up, held it, and walked forward.
After walking for 10 minutes, in a place where he could hear the sound of flowing water, Qi Qi saw two people standing in front of him by the moonlight. He couldn't tell who they were, as they were the same height. However, Qi Qi knew that they were Gu Siyan and Huangfu Yi.
The smell of blood was strong, and Qi Qi wasn't sure who was injured because both of them were standing ramrod straight.
Qi Qi: "..."
"If I go there now, who should I save..."
System: [Is it possible that any one of them, even if injured, could beat you into a pulp?]
Qi Qi could hardly believe it: "Tongtong, you're actually making sarcastic remarks, but you're right!"
"Looks like I'd better run..."
The system chuckled.
Qi Qi slowly backed away.
At this moment.
Gu Siyan spoke up: "Come out."
Huangfu Yi also asked, "Which side?"
Gu Siyan: "If you don't speak up, I'll kill you."
Huangfu Yi sneered: "This guy has guts, isn't he?"
Gu Siyan: "How do you know it's not yours?"
Qi Qi: "..."
Huangfu Yi: "Whatever, let's continue."
Gu Siyan said, "I'm not in a hurry, my men will be here soon."
Qi Qi eavesdropped for a while and realized that these two talkers hadn't made a move for so long, probably because they were both too old to fight.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Huangfu Yi say, "You're fighting four people by yourself. I don't believe you still have any internal energy left."
Gu Siyan: "Heh, how do you know I'm gone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the men on the left staggered and raised a long, knife-like object in his hand, striking at the other man.
Qi Qi: "No way!"
Qi Qi immediately called out, "Wait!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the knife plunged into another person's body, and that person fell into the river.
Qi Qi's mind went blank for a moment: "Huangfu Yi!!!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Huangfu Yi was about to turn around when he saw a figure rush out from the shadows, then bypass him and leap into the turbulent Sifang River.
