Li Yan knew clearly that she had no way to retreat at this moment. She struggled hard and used up all her strength, but the current still pushed her towards a more dangerous section of the river.
Li Yan understood that she had to find a way to survive.
After drifting for an unknown amount of time, Li Yan gradually realized she needed to find a way to save herself. She tried to breathe amidst the surging waves and looked toward the trees on the shore, searching for a clue to climb out of the river. She tried again and again, finally grabbing a branch. Using all her strength, she pulled herself to shore, then fainted from exhaustion.
Manager Liu didn't expect that the child would have such courage and would rather jump into the river than be caught by him.
Manager Liu had a bad feeling in his heart and was afraid that he would have a hard time reporting back. Thinking about the fact that he had only seen one person just now, he said to the servant beside him, "Search every blade of grass and tree on this mountain carefully and find the person for me!" After that, he turned and left.
After Li Yan led the group away, Zhou Xun limped out of the barren mountain. At this moment, there was still drizzle in the sky. Zhou Xun, who was soaked all over, trembled as he wandered to a village not far from the mountain.
Zhou Xun didn't dare to enter the village. He just hid in the haystack and waited quietly for the dawn to come!
Manager Liu, who hadn't caught anyone, returned to the mansion. Master Liu, who had been awakened by the noise, called the man over and asked, "Did you catch the man?"
Manager Liu lowered his head and replied softly, "We led our men to Qingshan. One of the boys jumped into the river and is unknown whether he is alive or dead. The other one is probably still hiding in the mountains. I have already asked my servants to search the mountains and will definitely bring him back!"
When Mr. Liu heard that the steward had not caught the man, he was so angry that he threw a tea bowl at the steward Liu, and blood immediately gushed out of the steward Liu's forehead.
"I don't care what method you use, catch him tomorrow!" Get out.
Manager Liu covered his bleeding forehead and walked out of the master's room in a huff.
The servants standing outside were so frightened when they saw Manager Liu coming out with blood all over his face that they fell silent.
Steward Liu said with a gloomy expression, "Call all the servants from the outer courtyard!"
Soon, more than 20 people stood outside the courtyard, waiting for Manager Liu's order: "Go search the mountain immediately. Find the person for me no matter what!"
The servants set off immediately after receiving the order. Everyone was silent for fear of angering Manager Liu.
The night was very long. When the first ray of sunlight rose in the early morning, Lin Feng led his men out of the city.
After the city gate opened, Lin Feng saw Zhou Xun coming towards him. He was disheveled and in a mess, limping into the city.
Lin Feng immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xun, asking, "Why are you like this? Where's Yan'er?"
When Zhou Xun saw Lin Feng, his heart, which had been hesitant all night, finally collapsed. With red eyes, he said, "Uncle, please go and save Miss Li!"
After hearing what Zhou Xun said, Lin Feng didn't bother to stop on the road. He carried Zhou Xun on his back and walked out of the city. Along the way, Zhou Xun told Lin Feng what happened between them last night.
Zhou Xun blamed himself and said, "Uncle, it's all because of me that I held Miss Li back. If it wasn't for the need to divert the pursuers, Miss Li wouldn't have risked her life and exposed her whereabouts!"
The monkey standing by looked at Lin Feng's dark face and knew that Brother Feng was anxious.
He patted Zhou Xun's shoulder and said, "Now is not the time to blame yourself. Let's work together to find Miss Li!"
