The man ran to a tree on the mountain, hid behind it, covered his mouth, and observed the old man's direction.
The old man shone his flashlight around, blatantly revealing his location.
Yuan Mengge really wanted to remind the old man not to expose himself so obviously.
The black dog ran over and barked wildly at the tree behind the man.
When the other person saw the dog chasing him, he suddenly pulled a black bag out of his pants pocket, took something out of it, and threw it at the black dog.
Then he quickly ran away from that spot.
The black dog was startled by what he threw and jumped back a step.
Then it stared at the thing that had almost hit it with a look of doubt and wariness.
Seeing the man's commotion, the old man immediately gave chase, shouting, "Hey! Stop!"
The black dog's attention was drawn to what the man had thrown; upon closer inspection, it was a piece of cooked pork.
The smell of pork made it unable to resist taking a sniff, and after sniffing for a while, it opened its mouth to eat it.
But suddenly Duoduo rushed over and rammed into it, yelling, "Woof!"
Hei Zi was completely bewildered by the impact. He got up and looked at Duo Duo, thinking that Duo Duo was going to steal his food, so he bared his teeth at it.
"roar--"
Duo Duo: "Woof woof woof woof woof woof—woof!"
After barking at it, Duoduo ignored it and turned to continue chasing after the two people who had run away.
When Hei Zi heard it call out like that, its expression suddenly became hesitant, and it stared at the piece of meat on the ground for a long time.
After hesitating for a while, it finally gave up on eating the meat and turned to follow its owner.
Yuan Mengge ran over at this moment, saw the piece of meat, and picked it up casually.
She then continued running after the two men.
The man distracted the dog with meat, then led the old man behind a large rock on the mountain. Suddenly, he pulled out a sharp knife from his waist, turned around, and ran towards the old man.
The old man was taken aback when he suddenly turned around and ran back, and his pace slowed down.
He immediately shone his flashlight into the other person's face, only to see that the other person was holding a knife, and panicked for a moment.
In his panic, the old man almost forgot that he was also holding a knife.
Moreover, this man was tall and burly, with a face full of menacing features and a hideous scar on his face.
It looks extremely fierce, not like someone to be trifled with.
The opponent is strong and healthy, while I am old and weak. I definitely can't win if I fight him head-on.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but then he remembered that he also had a knife, which emboldened him.
"Stop! What do you want?... You want to steal my cow?" he shouted, but seeing that the other party showed no sign of stopping, the old man took a step back warily.
But the other party did not hesitate because of his words. Instead, with the momentum of rushing down the mountain, he quickly rushed to the old man's side.
Moreover, the knife in his hand was aimed straight at the old man's heart and stabbed him.
"Woof woof woof --" A dog's barking suddenly came from the side.
The dog's barking did not stop the man from moving.
Just as his knife was about to pierce the old man's body, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side and kicked him.
The man was kicked to the side, rolled on the ground, and nimbly got up, without even dropping the knife.
He stood up, knife in hand, and looked at the person who had just kicked him.
It turned out that the other person was a short man wearing a hat with the brim pulled low, and a mask on his face. In the darkness, only a pair of dark, bright eyes could be seen peeking out from under the brim of the hat.
He pointed the knife at the other man and said, "Mind your own business if you don't want to die!"
Seeing the knife in the other person's hand, Yuan Mengge slowly stepped in front of the old man and then pushed him back with her hand.
The old man was surprised to see someone suddenly rush out to help him. If it weren't for that kick, he might already be dead, with that knife stuck in his chest.
He was panting heavily when he suddenly grabbed the person blocking his way, saying in fear, "Don't fight him head-on, he has a knife, it's too dangerous."
Yuan Mengge knew that the other party wouldn't let them go so easily; they had already seen his face.
Just then, the man rushed over with a knife and stabbed at Yuan Mengge.
The other person didn't seem to be stabbing someone for the first time; their movements were very practiced.
Yuan Mengge nimbly sidestepped, avoiding the blade.
At the same time, he grabbed the opponent's wrists holding the knife with both hands, pulled the opponent's hands tightly, turned around and threw them sideways.
Then she clenched her fist and swung it, smashing it into the other person's temple.
He then swiftly snatched the knife from the other man's hand, reversed his grip on the blade, and pressed it against the man's carotid artery.
"Don't move. This is an artery. Cutting it will be fatal," Yuan Mengge warned in a low voice.
The man froze as a sharp blade was pressed against his neck.
Yuan Mengge stared at him and called out to the old man next to her, "Grandpa, come and help."
The man's eyes darted around, and he suddenly laughed, looking at her and saying, "You've never killed anyone, have you?"
Upon hearing his words, Yuan Mengge's heart tightened, and she swiftly plunged the knife tip into the other man's thigh.
"Ah—" The man screamed instantly, his whole body stiffening in pain.
Yuan Mengge sneered and said, "I didn't intend to kill you either. After all, I'm not a murderer, you are."
As she spoke, she drew the knife again.
"Ouch—" The man gasped in pain as she pulled out her knife.
Blood gushed from the wound on the man's thigh.
Yuan Mengge threw the knife aside, flipped over behind the man, and locked his neck with a naked lock.
The man struggled on the ground, but he couldn't break free of the shackles around his neck.
He soon fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen to his brain.
After seeing that the other party had lost consciousness, Yuan Mengge released him, then took off his coat, cut a strip of coarse cloth with a knife, and tied the man's hands tightly behind his back.
Then he said to the old man, "Grandpa, go to the village and call the police. This is a murderer. He's killed someone!"
Upon hearing her words, the old man looked at her in astonishment: "You...how did you know?"
Yuan Mengge grabbed the man's foot and dragged him down the mountain.
As she walked, she made up a lie, saying, "When I was in town, I heard him bragging about it to others. He's also done drugs, drug trafficking, rape, and theft."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Look, he's carrying a knife. If you keep stopping him tonight, he'll probably kill you and steal the cow. You know, these drug addicts are inhuman when they go crazy."
