Several people looked over at the sound, and a figure slowly walked out of the woods, carrying a lot of prey in his hands. His clothes were slightly disheveled, but very clean.
A thin layer of sweat graced her forehead, stray hairs clung to her face, and her cheeks were flushed.
"What's wrong? Didn't you catch it?"
"Ah, no,"
Two boys held up the pheasants in their hands.
"Gotcha!"
Lin Dongfang was speechless. When he was with Jian Dan, he felt like he had no place to use his skills. He couldn't even do anything to catch a pheasant.
Thinking about it, I quickly went over and took the things from her hands.
"Wow, this is a good thing! Wait, aren't we not allowed to catch big animals in the spring?"
He simply waved his hand, signaling them to look carefully.
"This really isn't my fault. I wanted to let it go, but it was injured."
Looking down, the group noticed that the wild goat's hind legs were limp and drooping, and the whole goat looked listless. Even its bleating sound was pitiful.
However, these people weren't soft-hearted or merciful; they were quite receptive, especially to Jian Dan. This kind of thing was entirely expected.
“We also caught two broods of rabbits, and with the two pheasants you chased over just now, we can have several more good meals.”
"Haha, it wasn't this easy for us to get up here ourselves."
"You're telling me? The other day, the three of us spent a whole day running around in the mountains, and we didn't even catch a glimpse of this prey,"
Tanya Jun first looked at Jian's reddened hands.
"Does it hurt?"
"That's good. What do you mean now? Are you going to keep going in, or turn back?"
Lin Dongfang looked at the sky.
"It must be past two o'clock, right? Does anyone here have a watch?"
Ling Weidong reached into his pocket and took out a pocket watch.
"At 2:30, are we heading back?"
"Walk....."
Before she could finish speaking, Jian Dan abruptly turned around. The next second, Lin Dongfang, followed by Ling Weidong, also quickly straightened up, their faces aligned with Jian Dan's, raising their guard.
"It smells like...blood."
He took a few steps back, then ran a few steps, quickly climbed the nearest big tree, and looked into the distance.
Lin Dongfang and Ling Weidong exchanged a glance. One carried the prey, and the other carried several people's baskets. They found a large rock to shelter from the wind, and Tan Yajun quickly followed and hid herself.
Of the four, Jian Dan was undoubtedly the strongest in terms of martial arts. Lin Dongfang and Ling Weidong were also quite skilled, so they could protect themselves without any problem.
She's the only one who, if any conflict arises, is the weak point, the one who holds things back.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to offer help. She knew her own family was in the same boat, and she knew that the biggest help she could give was to stay out of trouble and not cause them any trouble.
Once everything was settled, Jian Dan quickly climbed down from the tree, her face now more serious.
"Not far ahead, two groups of people are fighting, and several are seriously injured,"
Can you tell who it is?
Simple has already taken a step forward.
"I can't see clearly, but they don't look like ordinary people. I'll go check. You all take care of yourselves, and Sister Ya Jun too."
Before she finished speaking, she had already darted far away. What she didn't say was that she felt she was somewhat familiar with the two who were at a disadvantage, which was why she was in a hurry to go and take a closer look.
The two people, who had been abandoned in an instant, looked at each other in bewilderment.
The closer they got, the clearer the sounds of fighting became. It was obvious that one side was struggling, forced to retreat repeatedly, while the other's attacks grew increasingly ruthless. Perhaps realizing the situation was settled, their movements became less aggressive, more like toying with and manipulating the opponent.
"Get up! Get up and fight! Haha, weren't you so fierce just now?"
"Yeah, they were threatening us just now, so get up and fight!"
As he spoke, the knife in his hand didn't stop; he continued to stab holes in the man's thigh, one after another, while saying with ill intent,
"Brother, do you think he would still work so hard if he knew he was betrayed by his own people?"
The person underground was clearly shocked as well. Leaning against the large tree behind them, ignoring their bleeding wounds and excruciating pain, they stared intently at their opponent.
"What did you say?"
That sound?
Jian Dan frowned immediately, stopped in her tracks, and hid herself behind a tree.
"Ha ha,"
The other party laughed even more unrestrainedly.
"Brother, he's a fool. He's been sold out and he's still helping the seller count the money!"
The person under the tree felt a chill in their heart, gasped for breath, and scanned the other person with their eyes, their mind racing.
The other side's leader didn't speak, but he clearly meant the same thing, his eyes filled with pity. They were all in the same boat, and being betrayed by one's own brother was the most tragic thing.
"You should have just pretended you didn't know. You insisted on digging into the details and ended up bringing this upon yourself. Tsk tsk, tell me, can you blame anyone else for this?"
I told you last time, that's enough. I've already given you the murderer and evidence you wanted. You can take them back and that's it. But you still insisted on digging to the bottom.
I didn't want things to come to this point, but you're too stubborn. You need to be more flexible. I've already told you that this matter should end here. You can't find anything else, but you still insist on holding onto it.
Sigh, you're putting me in a really difficult position.
"Cough cough..."
The person under the tree coughed repeatedly, followed by even more labored breathing, and nervously clenched their fingers.
