Chapter 17
The bare-shouldered man looked Jiuli up and down, ragged, yellow and thin, thin and small like a little beggar, the moment he opened the door, his vigilant expression instantly relaxed.

"Who are you looking for?" She asked again.Fifth Master was just a name among them, and people outside would not call him that.How did she know?
"I'm looking for Fifth Master," Jiu Li stammered.

"Did you have anything to do with him?" He looked Jiuli up and down carefully again.Don't look at this kid's ugly appearance, but there is a spirit in his eyes. He is very familiar with this kind of look, and he often encounters these killers.But how could this little beggar have such eyes?
"When I was collecting medicine at the bottom of the mountain, a horse came up from the bottom of the mountain. The man on the horse was injured and fell down. I helped him up. He asked me to go up the mountain and tell Fifth Master that something was wrong. Do it, and go down when the sun goes down." Jiu Li finished in one breath.

After hearing that, the man turned his head, looked at the people in the yard, and said, "Fifth Master, we can't go down the mountain yet, someone came to inform us that the sun is going down."

The man called Fifth Master had a long scar on his face, running from his forehead to his mouth.Jiuli could see it clearly from such a long distance, it must have been left behind during the fight.

Fifth Master tilted his head and looked at the little boy at the door without any doubt.He just asked in a calm tone, "Where is the messenger?"

The shirtless man turned his head to look at Jiu Li.

Jiuli quickly pointed to the direction of the mountain, and said, "It's just below the mountain, but there is a distance, he seems to have fainted, and there is blood on his body."

The shirtless man turned his head to look at Fifth Master again.

Fifth Master didn't pause, just said, "Xiami, you and the bald head go and carry the man up the mountain."

Two men in bunts came out of the door, the outer black clothes had been taken off.

Jiuli stood there without moving, but looked straight into the door.The bald man standing at the door asked in a very bad tone, "Why don't you go?"

Jiuli took a long breath and said, "I ran up from the mountain all the way, I don't need anything else, can you give me one of those ropes?"

"Huh?!" The one called Xiami stepped up, his words were very bad, and he stared at Jiuli fiercely, as if he was about to call.

Jiu Li hurriedly took a step back, pretending to be scared and shrank in the corner.The bald man quickly stopped.

Fifth Master coughed lightly, and said in a rough voice, "Give him one."

Someone picked up a rope, walked out of the yard, went to the door, and threw it in front of Jiuli.

Jiu Li nodded, bent down to pick it up, and put it in his own basket.

"Let's go." The bald head and Xiami said to Jiuli, the two of them had already walked to the front after speaking.

Jiuli followed behind as if he couldn't move.Every time they go down a hill, the two of them have to wait for Jiu Li in front.

Although Jiu Li followed them, he was always looking for a place to deal with these two people.Otherwise she will be betrayed.Where is anyone down the mountain?It's all made up by her.

"You two gentlemen, can you go down the mountain by yourself? I'm very tired and don't want to follow you." Jiu Li walked to a cliff, found an open space, sat on a rock, and said to them.

"No!" said Xiami first, there are so many roads down the mountain, if you don't follow us, which one will we know?
Jiuli sat there without saying a word, pretending to be very tired, and kept looking around to see if anyone was passing by, and how far it was from their small yard.Especially if their gang followed.
