"I want to go back!"
Qi Yan couldn't stay there any longer, so he pushed aside his brother who was blocking his way and was about to leave.
"You're crazy!"
The other person grabbed Qi Yan's collar with tears in his eyes, "Have you ever considered that your grandmother sent you out specifically to save your life?"
"All the witchcraft you learned came from your grandmother. There's no reason why your grandmother wouldn't know about the things you can predict!"
"You rush back to die now, are you worthy of your grandmother's good intentions?!"
"Let go!"
Qi Yan collapsed and yelled, "If I don't go back now, I'll die!"
"How could I watch everyone in the village die in front of me and I could do nothing..."
Qi Yan grabbed his hair hard and said, "I don't even know who the murderer is. I don't even know who to seek revenge on..."
"I won't let go!"
Zhai Fang also roared. He was a few years older than Qi Yan and had watched Qi Yan grow up.
"My father and brothers are also in the village. I want to save them, but if we go back like this, we will just die with them!"
"If we die, there will be no one left to avenge them!"
"Or maybe it's hope!"
As Zhai Fang spoke, he kept beating his chest with his fists. The feeling of powerlessness of being unable to do anything was almost killing him.
Qi Zhi burst into tears, and the people present clenched their fists unwillingly...
After all, they are just young people in their early twenties!
Song Ning sighed, "I do have a way, but the price is a bit high..."
"What method?!"
Qi Yan knelt down in front of Song Ning with a thud. "No matter how much it costs, as long as you can save the hundreds of lives of our Gu Village, all our lives will be yours!"
Qi Yan took out the dagger he had used before and unexpectedly cut his arm again, letting the blood drip all over the ground.
He put his right fingers together and drew a mysterious magic circle with blood. "I swear in the name of Gu Village's Master!"
"I now lead my entire clan to submit to Song Ning and pledge eternal loyalty. If you break this oath, you will be damned forever!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the oath was fulfilled!
The magic circle drawn with blood suddenly emitted a faint scarlet light, and then the light collapsed rapidly and sank into Qi Yan's body.
At the same time, Zhaifang and Zhaidong quickly rolled up their sleeves, and a small scarlet dot suddenly appeared on the inside of their arms.
Zhai Fang and Zhai Dong looked at each other, and knelt on one knee in front of Song Ning.
"We are willing to swear allegiance until death!"
Qi Yan's series of actions were so fast and unexpected that everyone present was stunned.
Song Ning sighed again. Their loyalty would not be accepted!
There were quite a few people in the stone chamber. Including Qi Yan and the other three, there were almost twenty or thirty people.
Song Ning's eyes swept over the heads of these people one by one. The success rate of the plan she had just thought of was constantly changing.
Finally, Song Ning's gaze fixed on the old fox's head, and the success rate also stopped.
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about what happened today!"
The old fox's eyes flickered between his men and the archaeological team. "Not only am I not going to tell the truth, no one here can tell the truth either!"
"If anyone can't control his mouth, I, the old fox, will hunt him down no matter where he goes!"
“We don’t say…”
When the old fox looked at them with those gloomy eyes, everyone present felt a chill down their spine.
Anyone who met the old fox's gaze would subconsciously start to gesture.
Song Ning nodded to the old fox, accepting the favor.
"Let's go now!"
Qiao Bo firmly took Song Ning's hand and left the ancient tomb with Qi Yan and others who were eager to return home.
Gu Village was not close to where they were now. Qi Yan and his companions, along with Song Ning, Qiao Bo and He Yi, headed south, crossing five or six mountains.
Looking at the mountains stretching for tens of thousands of miles in front of him, which seemed like there was no end to the journey, Song Ning was completely discouraged.
"It's been a whole day and a whole night since yesterday. I can't crawl anymore. Whatever you want!"
Although Qiao Bo carried her for the second half of the journey, Song Ning was still too tired to straighten her back.
"Yes! Take a break..."
He Yi was so tired that he looked like a silly dog. He collapsed on the ground with his mouth open and tongue hanging out.
The little fox stepped on He Yi's body in high spirits, having a lot of fun.
It should be the easiest one among these people. After all, it is either on this shoulder or on that back.
Song Ning was so jealous that she wished she could be a little fox herself.
The treasure-hunting mouse Xiao Yi was also handed over to Song Ning by Yi Zhi. It lived a life similar to that of the little fox.
At this time, he was squatting on Qiao Bo's shoulder, and Le's little eyes were narrowed into slits.
Song Ning glanced at it and grabbed it with malicious intent, causing it to squeak in protest.
"Then let's take a break first!"
Qi Yan also knew that more haste makes waste.
As the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain, the horse will die if you run it." The mountain road looks close, but in fact, if you really walk on it, you will die of exhaustion.
"You guys take a rest here first, I'll be there soon..."
Qi Yan also knew that Song Ning had reached her limit at this time. She was not like them, the children who grew up in the mountains. How could she endure such hardship?
She probably needs a mount...
Qi Yan turned around and left without saying a word. The people from the village followed him closely, while the people from the east village stayed behind.
"I'm going to find something to eat..."
Zhaidong saw Qiao Bo squatting down and helping Song Ning take off her shoes, and he touched his nose with some displeasure.
Looking at how clingy the couple is, I guess there’s no hope for them to be together anymore…
He had nothing to do here, so he took out the small crossbow hanging at his waist and planned to hunt some game.
"I want to eat pheasant. If you have any delicious wild fruits and mushrooms, please bring some over..."
Song Ning ordered without hesitation, "Let's see if there's any mountain spring water nearby. I want to make tea..."
Zhaidong faltered in his steps. Did this girl really think he was here for a picnic?!
However, the lives of all the villagers depend on her, so he has to satisfy this girl's demands even if it costs him his life!
"Oh right..."
As soon as Song Ning opened his mouth to speak, Zhaidong stumbled and ran away without looking back.
"Why are you running so fast? I haven't finished talking yet..."
Song Ning pouted unhappily.
"What else do you want?"
Qiao Bo helped her move her ankle and was relieved when he saw that there were no blisters on the soles of her feet.
"Where there's a mountain spring, there's fish. I want to eat fish!"
Song Ning felt like she could eat a whole cow now.
“I want to eat fish too…”
He Yi spread his long limbs on the ground, "I want to eat my brother-in-law's grilled fish..."
"Who is your brother-in-law?"
Song Ning glared at him angrily, "You're taking advantage of my Qiao Bo!"
"He's my brother-in-law. I'm older than you! So he's my brother-in-law!"
He Yi glared back at him confidently. "What's the matter? It's bigger than my eyes, right?!"
