"no problem!"
So, with Mo Yu looking confused, he watched Li Xinzhai release the South Vietnamese prisoners, and then he and Hua Wuxin quickly left the town with him.
After meeting up with the people waiting outside the town, Li Xinzhai and Hua Wuxin told everyone what had just happened in the town, and at the same time, they also told everyone what the South Vietnamese soldier they had met earlier had said with extremely strong personal opinions.
Mo Yu sighed helplessly and didn't argue with Lin Xinzhai and the others. While their initial description of the town's situation was sound, when it came to him, he felt as if the scene just now was completely different from what they had described. Despite feeling a hundred grievances, Mo Yu still cautiously discussed it with everyone again, "Can we trust that person just now?"
Li Xinzhai complained, "It's still more reliable than a scumbag like you with a bad memory."
Mo Yu really didn't like the title of "scumbag". Things were not what they imagined at all. He really didn't know the man from South Vietnam, let alone the woman in red he had met on the road to Qingliang Valley. "What on earth were you talking about before? I still don't understand a word you said."
Hua Wuxin said meaningfully: "You don't have to understand, he will make you remember it later."
Mo Yu didn't want to let this misunderstanding, which didn't exist in the first place, get any worse, so he quickly explained, "No, they didn't mention me by name. Besides, I'm not the only one in the world who gives away fallen teeth."
Wang Ruo took a step back upon hearing this, and said with a look of disgust, "Eh, I didn't realize you have such a strong taste?"
Mo Yu, as a normal person, although he often hangs out with Li Xinzhai, he doesn't always understand the underlying meaning of what they say. Therefore, after Wang Ruo said this, Mo Yu was a little confused as to why she suddenly changed the subject: "I usually eat very light food."
Wang Ruo looked at his silly look and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Pfft, no more, no more. Anyway, we'll know the answer tomorrow. You're really too cute, hahahaha!"
After a brief burst of laughter and joy, Li Xinzhai and Mo Yu set out before dawn the next day. They waited in the abandoned house for a long time, but when the appointed time came, the young man from South Vietnam did not appear. The longer they waited, the more uneasy they became.
Mo Yu squatted on the eaves and was obviously tired of squatting there any longer. "The time has come, but why is that young man still nowhere to be seen? Is there a trick?"
"Don't be afraid of a scam. Tonight, it's just the two of us. No matter how many experts there are, we can definitely escape." While that was true, Li Xinzhai was also worried. What if this South Vietnamese guy was a scammer? What was he thinking? Why did he agree without further investigation and consideration? He didn't care. What if he fell into a trap and implicated Mo Yu?
The two of them squatted on the eaves and waited quietly for a while, each with their own thoughts. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the house, no one knew what happened.
The abandoned house they were in was probably a blind spot for the South Vietnamese soldiers' patrols. After all, not far away was a granary that was secretly guarded by a master. Normally, such an important place should be very quiet. Could it be that someone else besides them had broken into this town?
Li Xinzhai narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully to every move outside the house. After a moment, his brows gradually frowned: "Listen to these sounds outside, why do I feel that something is wrong the more I listen?"
Mo Yu complained, "I've already told you not to trust others so easily, yet you're still trying to smear my reputation with this person of unknown origin. If anything really happens, I'm telling you in advance, I'll definitely leave you behind and run away."
Li Xinzhai clicked his tongue twice and said, "Alright, you're already a grown-up, why do you still talk like a child sometimes? Could it be that you've been infected by Tang Chen?"
Rather than squatting on the beam and doing nothing but guessing based on hearing, it would be better to go directly to the door and observe the situation: "I'm too lazy to argue with you, I'll go and take a look."
Mo Yu jumped lightly and landed steadily on the ground. Then he moved to the window with light steps, holding his breath and concentrating his attention. He observed the situation outside the house through the hole in the window paper.
Li Xinzhai saw Mo Yu staring outside and felt his entire body stiffen. His nerves, which had been slightly relaxed just a moment ago, suddenly tensed up. He then jumped down from the beam and whispered, "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?"
Li Xinzhai glanced outside and was shocked by what he saw. Outside, Xie Zhuangshui, his hair disheveled, held a sword, his eyes red as he glared at the people before him. He would strike down anyone who approached, no matter who they were.
After a while, the man, for some unknown reason, half-knelt on the ground to catch his breath, then gripped his sword tightly and began waving it around, as if those surrounding him weren't human beings, but rather dancing carrots. The other generals and soldiers didn't dare to engage him, and even if they did, they would only defend themselves, not attack. Soon, several brave and wounded soldiers were scattered on the ground.
According to what these people mentioned casually, it seems that the few people who first discovered that something was wrong with Xie Zhuangshui should have been drinking soup at Naihe Bridge now, if nothing unexpected happened.
Because of Xie Zhuangshui's sudden madness, the atmosphere in the town suddenly became very agitated. Li Xinzhai was also very puzzled and said: "Why does Xie Zhuangshui seem to have gone crazy? Why would he run here with a sword and red eyes?"
Looking at Xie Zhuangshui's red-eyed look of killing without distinguishing friend from foe, the memory that Mo Yu had sealed tightly in his mind and didn't want to mention, at this moment, forcibly broke through the restraints imposed on it, as if it happened yesterday, and played out in Mo Yu's mind over and over again.
Under the impact of the bright red memory, Mo Yu couldn't help but tremble, and his back was soon soaked with cold sweat: "Xinzhai, look at him like this, isn't it..."
If Mo Yu hadn't mentioned it, Li Xinzhai wouldn't have remembered that Xie Zhuangshui's current appearance was exactly the same as what his master had mentioned when the blood-sucking insect in Mo Yu broke out.
Li Xinzhai was stunned for a moment, then grinned and tried to divert Mo Yu's attention elsewhere. "There aren't so many coincidences in this world. Don't overthink it. I think this commotion might have been caused by that guy from yesterday. If there's a big commotion here, the experts guarding the artillery will definitely be distracted. But with just the two of us, our chances of winning are too slim."
