He Feiyan's voice, as cold as frost, came faintly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, revealing a biting chill: "Butler Li, please listen to me carefully!
If you can't catch them back, hmph, then you will have to bear all the losses this time! You also know that I always keep my word, so don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes!"
Butler Li suddenly felt bitter in his heart as if he had eaten coptis. This matter was already extremely difficult. Those refugees had taken away the food and gold in the villa without anyone noticing. It would be difficult to catch them back now.
But he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction or embarrassment on his face, and could only force himself to look respectful.
He hurriedly bent down deeply, his waist almost parallel to the ground. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, but he didn't dare raise his hand to wipe them.
In a voice that was slightly trembling but trying to remain calm, he said respectfully, "Miss, don't worry. Even if it costs me my life, I will do everything I can to capture those untouchables. I will definitely not let you down."
He Feiyan's brows were tightly furrowed, her face full of an expression of mixed irritation and annoyance. She raised her hand and rubbed her head vigorously.
She had no intention of paying attention to the words of loyalty that Butler Li had just expressed. Her mind was completely occupied by the chaos that had occurred in the villa.
Seeing He Feiyan like this, Butler Li didn't dare to say anything more. He could only cautiously step back a few steps, then slowly turned around and walked out of the house quietly.
The footsteps were extremely light, for fear of making even the slightest noise and making He Feiyan even more unhappy.
When he finally walked out of the house and stood on the corridor outside, he dared to raise his head slightly and let out a long sigh.
It seemed as if he had been holding his breath for a very long time, and when he exhaled it, his body trembled slightly.
He first quietly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then quickly cheered up, winked at the few men who were already waiting there, and lowered his voice and urgently ordered: "Don't just stand there, hurry up, bring more people, and go track down those refugees with all your strength.
We must find out their whereabouts clearly. If we can find their current whereabouts, that would be the best. If we can't do this well, we will all be in trouble. Hum, hurry up! "
After saying that, the men did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the order and left, leaving only Butler Li standing there, looking in the direction they left, with a hint of worry and helplessness in his eyes.
Back in Sujia Village, after a whole night of rest, everyone had a good sleep. Now they were all full of energy and were ready to continue their journey.
In this seemingly calm and peaceful atmosphere, Mo Feng in the team suddenly seemed to notice something unusual.
His ears moved slightly, as if a sensitive little animal had sensed danger.
Mo Feng subconsciously stopped and stood there motionless, his eyes slightly narrowed, listening attentively to the noise coming from the distance.
As he listened attentively, his face, which had originally been somewhat relaxed, suddenly became ugly, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry and tension.
He didn't dare to delay for even a moment and hurried to find his father Mo Yixiao.
He hurried to his father and said anxiously, "Dad, I hear the sound of a large number of horses coming towards us!"
His voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, and his words were full of urgency and anxiety.
When Mo Yixiao heard Mo Feng's words, the gentle smile on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace as if blown away by a gust of cold wind.
He knew very well that his youngest son had been gifted since childhood, with particularly sensitive ears, and he could catch even the slightest sound.
Now that Mo Feng was so certain, maybe the pursuers from Ping'an County really were chasing them.
Mo Yixiao's brows furrowed tightly in an instant, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He knew that a crisis might be about to come, and at this moment he had to find a way to deal with it quickly.
He pulled his son Mo Feng over and hurried towards the direction of the village chief of Sujia Village.
Along the way, his eyes were full of anxiety and worry, and his heart was beating violently due to nervousness.
Soon, Mo Yixiao and his son came in front of the village chief.
Mo Yixiao gasped for breath and said anxiously, "Village Chief Su, it's bad, the pursuers seem to be coming!"
His voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and the urgency in his words was overwhelming.
The village chief slowly raised his head, looking straight at Mo Yixiao and his son with scrutiny and doubt in his eyes.
In the village chief's mind, although the Mo family was locked up in the same room with the people from Su Village, they had only been together for a few days and were not particularly familiar with each other.
The village chief frowned slightly, his eyes still filled with suspicion, and asked, "How did you know?"
The village chief stood there, quietly waiting for Mo Yixiao and his son to give a reasonable explanation.
Mo Yixiao was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat already covering his forehead. He pulled his youngest son, Mo Feng, over to him, pointed at him anxiously, and said to the village chief of Sujia Village, "Village Chief Su, look, this is my youngest son, Mo Feng."
As he spoke, he gently patted Mo Feng's shoulder, his face full of trust and pride in his son. Although the situation was critical at the moment, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of pride when he mentioned his son's special ability.
"He's had very sensitive ears since he was little. I'm not just bragging, it's real. He could hear sounds from ten miles away. As long as the sound wasn't too small, it wouldn't escape his ears."
As Mo Yixiao spoke, he gestured the distance with his hands, trying to make the village chief understand the seriousness of the situation more clearly.
"Just now, he came running to me in a panic and told me that he heard the sound of horse hooves, and that the sound of horse hooves sounded quite dense. In my opinion, it might be the pursuers from Ping'an County. We can't just wait here, we have to make plans early!"
Mo Yixiao's voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and his eyes scanned the faces of the village chief and the people around him, hoping that everyone would take it seriously.
After hearing what Mo Yixiao said, everyone stopped and looked surprised and confused.
"What? The pursuers are coming?" A young man widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, which seemed particularly abrupt in this already tense atmosphere.
