"What? Sister-in-law Zhu, you're going to go find Xue Ye alone?" Wang Dabing and the others were shocked.
Actually, what he wanted to say was, is it really worth going to such lengths for Xue Ye?
But when he met Liu Yingying's serious and determined gaze, he swallowed his words.
"Take these, and be careful at night!"
Liu Yingying took a small package out of her backpack and threw it into Wang Dabing's hand. Inside were some bread and dried sweet potatoes that she had baked.
"What's this?" Wang Dabing looked at the package in his hand, wanting to say something, but Liu Yingying had already walked away.
Soon, her footsteps were completely drowned out by the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs...
Qiaoyun Mountain is a steep and dangerous place, and it is also home to many wild animals, so villagers rarely go there.
It could be said that this was a completely undeveloped jungle, without even a road. Holding a torch, Liu Yingying continued to search for Xue Ye's whereabouts, her steps uneven and unsteady.
"Xue Ye...Xue Ye?"
The only response she received was the hooting of owls in the trees, eerie and distant, making the midnight forest seem even more mysterious and terrifying...
Before long, the torch in his hand had almost burned out.
Liu Yingying simply threw away the torch and spent twenty points from the shop to exchange for a flashlight.
The flashlight beam was clearer and brighter, and it shone farther. Small animals that had been hiding in the shadows, lurking and waiting, scattered in all directions as soon as the light hit them...
Liu Yingying continued walking forward for about half an hour.
The night was deep and the dew was heavy; her shoes and socks were already soaked.
This was already deep in the mountains, yet Xue Ye was still nowhere to be found.
Jiang Suyu's worries were justified. The first impression that the boy gave Liu Yingying was that he was a very wary person.
He wouldn't leave his frail mother at home and go into the mountains alone for days and nights without returning.
Moreover, if he is still in the mountains and safe, he will definitely hear the sounds of Liu Yingying and her group entering the mountains and thus show himself.
But in reality, he was nowhere to be found.
The further Liu Yingying walked, the heavier her heart became.
The best outcome for that boy at this moment is probably that he is seriously injured...
She didn't want to think about what had happened to the boy...
Fortunately, her efforts paid off. When she reached a wider section of the road, Liu Yingying discovered signs of a fight.
After being washed by the dew, the smell of blood in the jungle was extremely pungent.
She shone her flashlight around and was shocked by what she saw.
Less than ten meters away from her lay a male corpse!
When Liu Yingying went forward to examine the body, she found two fatal wounds on the male corpse: one on the Baihui point on the top of his head, and the other a sharp weapon that had pierced his heart.
The method of murder was extremely swift and efficient...
For some reason, Liu Yingying suddenly recalled the scene of Xue Ye dismembering the wild boar that day...
It's also very clean and efficient!
Could this person have been killed by Xue Ye?
She didn't know.
At that moment, the last glint of Liu Yingying's flashlight illuminated another corpse in the nearby bushes, its fatal wounds identical to those of the previous one.
She also discovered that the two bodies were wearing the same clothes.
Um, how should I describe it?
It looks a bit like the uniform of an assassin in a martial arts movie.
Moreover, not far from the second corpse, she also found a piece of fabric that was the same color as Xue Ye's clothes.
Liu Yingying picked up the piece of cloth and found that the bloodstains on it had dried.
At that moment, two bold guesses came to her mind.
1. Xue Ye went hunting in the mountains and unfortunately encountered a group of assassins on a mission. In order to silence him, they started fighting.
After killing the two men, Xue Ye escaped wounded and is currently recuperating somewhere.
Second; these two assassins were specifically after Xue Ye, otherwise why would they bother running into Qiao Yun Mountain?
But Liu Yingying subconsciously felt that the second possibility was more likely!
But who would go to such lengths to kill a boy who grew up in the countryside?
This inevitably makes one think about the origins of Jiang Suyu and her son Xue Ye.
No one ever knew where the mother and son came from, and no one knew who Xue Ye's father was.
Actually, when she first met the mother and son, Liu Yingying felt that they were hiding a secret, but that was their business and she couldn't ask too much.
If these two really came to assassinate Xue Ye, then it's highly likely that it's related to his background...
We must find Xue Ye as soon as possible!
The longer we find him, the more dangerous he becomes!
Just then, Liu Yingying's flashlight suddenly shone on a patch of grass that had clearly been trampled by someone.
Footprints were left in the grass, stretching forward...
This must be the trace left by Xue Ye!
With this in mind, Liu Yingying took a deep breath and carefully followed the footprints forward with her flashlight...
But after following the footprints for half an hour, they broke off.
"Strange, there's no reason for a living person to grow wings and fly away, is there?"
Liu Yingying scratched her head in confusion, and just as she took two steps forward to check, her foot suddenly slipped.
Then his body plummeted straight down!
"ah!"
Her mind was racing.
I must have stepped into a trap, but who the hell dug such a deep pit!
Burying ancestors' graves?
After groaning for a long time, his body finally fell to the ground.
"ah!"
"puff!"
Before Liu Yingying could even marvel at how soft the bottom of the pit was, she heard a painful scream come from beneath her.
Then it seemed...it seemed like someone vomited blood?!
She quickly scrambled to her feet, found the flashlight, and was immediately shocked.
"Xue Ye?"
However, Xue Ye had already completely lost consciousness by this time.
"My God!" Liu Yingying frowned deeply.
She just fell from such a height and landed on Xue Ye, who was already injured. Could she have killed him?
How is she going to explain this to Sister Jiang when she gets back?
"No! Xue Ye, you absolutely cannot die!"
"You have to hold on!!"
Liu Yingying quickly stepped forward to check Xue Ye's injuries.
Under the light, his face was as pale as paper, and his once handsome face was covered with blood. He had deep wounds on his chest, back, and abdomen.
Upon examining the clothing, it was discovered that some wounds had already clotted blood, but the knife wound on the abdomen was still gushing blood.
"Hiss~ He's so badly injured!"
Having been hit by his own weapon earlier, Xue Ye's breath was extremely weak, and he was truly on the verge of death!
Fortunately, Liu Yingying was quite worldly-wise and remained very calm at this moment.
