Chapter 63 Li Rouer is missing
Once a fugitive appears in a family, the entire family will be implicated.
Officials like Peng Wang would also be punished for failing to guard properly.
Therefore, no one dares to be careless about this matter.
Madam Mo was the first to speak: "No one in my Mo family is missing."
Fang Chuanzhou also reported: "No one in the Fang family is missing."
"Sir, Li Rouer is missing..." Li Yuer shouted loudly, with even a hint of excitement in her tone.
Li Yuer only thought about the fact that her annoying half-sister was not at home, and her mood suddenly became better. She did not realize what kind of punishment her family would face in the future.
Peng Wang's face darkened immediately, and he ordered the officers, "Light the torches and dig three feet deep to find the man."
"Yes." The officers responded in unison, holding torches and began to look for Li Rouer.
Mo Jiuye whispered to He Zhiran.
"I suspect Xie Lin was held hostage by Li Rouer."
"Well, I had this suspicion when I heard Li Yuer shout it out just now."
The two people's guesses were consistent again and they fell into silence for a while.
They were all thinking about Li Rouer's purpose in taking Xie Lin away and where she might be hiding.
I don’t know if Mo Jiuye thought of something, he pulled He Zhiran to come in front of Peng Wang.
"Sir, my wife and I want to help find someone."
Peng Wang was inexplicably convinced of the couple Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran, and he also believed in their character and believed that they would not run away secretly without leaving their families behind.
Therefore, he agreed without thinking.
"Yes, no matter what the result is, you must return here before dawn."
Before leaving, He Zhiran reminded: "Master Peng, please help take care of my mother-in-law, my sisters-in-law, and my younger sister-in-law."
"Don't worry." Peng Wang responded and waved to the two of them, telling them to go and come back quickly.
Mo Jiuye took He Zhiran's hand, and the two first came to the place where Lu Shi last saw Xie Lin.
Then, starting from that position, he observed carefully, not missing any clues.
At the same time, they were still calculating in their minds the most advantageous escape position and direction if they started from that position.
If you don't get discovered, the best direction is where the officers rest.
The officers were all outside the fire circle to kill the wolves. When Li Rouer took Xie Lin to escape, there was no one there, and there were tents for shelter, so it was easy to avoid the sight of others.
After passing the official's tent, a small path appeared behind it.
They chased along the path, observing very carefully, even not missing the grass on the side of the road.
After walking about a hundred meters, there was a fork in the road ahead.
The two of them moved on the left and right in perfect harmony. After taking a few steps, He Zhiran squatted down and picked up a piece of rag on the ground.
Mo Jiuye came forward quickly upon seeing this and asked, "What did you find?"
He Zhiran brought the palm-sized piece of cloth in front of Mo Jiuye.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Xie Lin's scarf."
She clearly remembered that she touched Xie Lin's head today.
Because the silk scarf was dark green, she laughed in her heart for a moment, thinking that the ancients really didn't have such a particularity, and even boys had a green silk scarf on their heads.
Mo Jiuye held the silk scarf in his palm.
"Let's go, let's continue chasing."
The two continued forward along the path, examining more carefully...
Time goes back to half an hour ago.
Li Rouer saw the officers running outside the fire circle to drive away the wolves, and she knew her chance had come.
To be on the safe side, she planned to go to a crowded place and observe.
As a result, when she arrived at the place where the Xie family was resting, she saw Xie Lin standing alone behind the crowd.
So she bravely stepped forward, covered his mouth tightly, and took him away without anyone noticing.
Her escape route was exactly as Mo Jiuye had expected, behind the officers' tents.
Li Rouer had one arm dislocated, and it was very difficult for her to control Xie Lin with one hand.
What's more, Xie Lin is still resisting.
So she randomly crawled into a tent, picked up a sock that the officer had not had time to put on, and stuffed it into Xie Lin's mouth.
The pungent smell made Xie Lin dazed for a moment, and taking advantage of this opportunity, she found a rope and tied up Xie Lin's hands and feet.
Then he picked up Xie Lin and ran quickly towards the path.
I saw a fork in the road ahead. It was obvious that one side of the road was relatively flat, which meant that people often walked on this road.
Now she was most afraid of seeing people, so she decisively chose the path with less trampling traces.
It was at that time that Xie Lin tried hard to shake her hair loose, causing the scarf to fall to the ground, providing He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye with valuable clues.
I thought Xie Lin was a small child and didn't weigh much.
As a result, Li Rouer overestimated her physical strength and she couldn't run any further.
She looked behind her and saw no sign of anyone chasing them, so she took Xie Lin and hid in the grass by the roadside.
She thought that if she could just escape tonight, the officers would be so anxious to get on with their journey that they would give up the search. By then, Xie Lin would be of no use to her anymore. She could just send him to hell and save him from suffering along with those other prisoners...
Unexpectedly, when Li Rouer was squatting in the grass and daydreaming, she heard footsteps not far away.
She immediately became alert and pulled Xie Lin in front of her.
Li Rouer found a pointed stone from somewhere and pressed it against Xie Lin's neck.
Once discovered, she would threaten Xie Lin's life, always finding a chance to escape.
Mo Jiuye is a martial arts expert and has extraordinary perception abilities.
When passing by the bushes, he stopped and looked sharply in the direction where Li Rouer was hiding.
At this time, the sky in the east was already slightly pale.
He clearly caught a glimpse of a strange color in the grass.
That was exactly the corner of Xie Lin's clothes.
"Li Rouer, what's the point of using a child as a threat?" He Zhiran ruthlessly exposed Li Rouer's thoughts.
This shocked Li Rouer, and she knew that she could no longer hide it.
In order to escape safely, she tried hard to suppress her anger towards He Zhiran.
"Zhiran, I know I've done a lot of wrong things to you these past few days. It's all because I couldn't accept the fact of being exiled. Now I know I was wrong. For the sake of our sisterhood, can you please let me go?"
"That's impossible." Without waiting for He Zhiran to speak, Mo Jiuye replied to Li Rouer coldly.
In his heart, what Li Rouer did to He Zhiran was simply a heinous crime. How could she care about the sisterly love they once had?
For such a person, once you let her go, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain, and there will definitely be endless troubles in the future.
The reason why he took the initiative to answer was because he was worried that He Zhiran would be soft-hearted.
If He Zhiran had said this, Li Rouer would have been more receptive.
After all, the two of them have been fighting to the point of death in recent days.
