After a little while, Mingting made sure everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest before she dared to look for anyone.

Xiang Kang, who was hiding in the dark, felt his heart freeze. The eldest lady was really hiding someone.

He grew up with the eldest lady. He knew that the eldest lady's life was not good, and he was even kept in the dark by the boss. He has been helping the boss torture his own mother... He felt sorry for the eldest lady and was on her side. Yes, but now the life and death of the entire village was at stake, so he could only apologize in his heart, staring at the house, and raising his hand to make a ready gesture.

"You gone?"

Mingting asked in a low voice, her tone full of disappointment, she gave a low bitter smile, sat on the stone at the door, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

From this angle, she couldn't see the copycat situation.

I wonder how Yamashita is doing, hey, she should be worried about herself now.

What to do next? Stay in the cottage? She no longer wanted to stay in this sad place, but if she was caught leaving, she would be whipped, which would be tantamount to being beaten to death.

She looked at her severed finger and made a decision in her mind. She turned around, put away the baggage, slung it on her back, quietly left the cave entrance, and walked down quickly.

She wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Xiang Kang and others followed him from a distance.

The person behind asked: "Brother Xiang, right? She is going down the mountain alone."

"We can't leave. The people on the mountain still need our protection."

"She's gone. Lin Ling must still be hiding inside. Can we look for it openly?"

Mingting's absence is actually more convenient for them.

Just do it.

Soon, dozens of torches lit up in the sky, shining brightly everywhere, and they began a blanket search.

Lin Ling shrank into the haystack. The next moment, she felt someone climbing on the roof. The firelight was swaying. Their feet made a tearing sound on the grass. There was even a foot that stepped down close to her face.

Her breathing was stagnant and she didn't dare to move at all.

"People really disappear?"

Xiang Kang sighed helplessly.

"Perhaps people have already escaped while taking advantage of the chaos. Send someone down to tell Brother Ming, and the others will guard the entrance of the cave." Dou Weiwei ordered the women to go back and rest.

Xiang Kang took people to the entrance of the cave and went down the mountain to report the news in person.

Lin Ling heard the conversation and let out a long sigh. Someone was guarding the place, so she had to leave. Otherwise, when the sun came out tomorrow morning, she would definitely suffer from heatstroke if she stayed here.

After she quietly touched the roof, she put something on her face and walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave with her waist bent.

"Hey, Grandma Shiyi, where are you going so late?"

The firelight will reveal the location, and everyone will use the moonlight to identify it.

Lin Ling's throat seemed to have stuck phlegm: "I have a rash on my face. Xiao He said that my rash is contagious. I will go live outside to avoid harming everyone."

She deliberately pulled back a little of the facecloth, revealing a red rash the size of a soybean, and the pus inside seemed ready to explode at any moment.

The grown men were so frightened that they backed away.

"Okay, then don't go too far."

Lin Ling nodded, and after walking out of their visible range, he straightened up and walked slowly and carefully halfway up the mountain.

Anyway, I have to find a place to hide first.

at that time.

Xiang Kang met a team of five people going up the mountain. "Have you seen the eldest lady?"

"No, eldest brother asked us to come up and look for Lin Ling. If we can't find her, we will take the eldest lady down."

Xiang Kang was a little confused. He guessed the answer but couldn't believe it: "What are you doing with the eldest lady?"

The man briefly described how Ming Tuo used the young lady's finger to scare Xiao Shen. In other words, if Lin Ling was not caught, Ming Ting would be used instead!

Xiang Kang's heart froze, and he twitched his lips and said, "The eldest lady has already gone down the mountain. If you haven't met her here, she may have gone to Langshan Mountain halfway up the mountain."

Good on you, Xiang Kang!
Mingting, who was hiding in the corner at this time, cursed them countless times in her heart. She was even more grateful that she escaped earlier, otherwise, her life would have been lost!

After Xiang Kang and the others left, she emerged from the grass.

Since they were heading to Wolf Mountain to the right, she should hide to the left. There was a cliff over there, so she should be able to escape!

She groped forward carefully, and less than a quarter of an hour later, a cold blade pressed against her neck.

In this hot night, the coolness aroused goosebumps all over her body, she swallowed her saliva and shed two lines of tears.

The fierce tiger's mouth felt hot, and Jiang was dumbfounded. A grown man couldn't bear to see a woman cry. He quickly looked forward for help: "Brother Gu, she is crying... she is crying. A woman is of no use to us. , why don’t you let it go?”

Gu Yunting came out of the darkness, glanced around and fixed his eyes on her hand that was missing her little finger. His pupils trembled and he asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

"You are not from the village." If she didn't know her, she was from outside. Mingting thought for a moment, turned her eyes around half a circle, shed more tears, and said while crying: "My name is Xiaoting, and I am..."

"What's wrong with your fingers?" Gu Yunting didn't have the energy to watch her acting.

Ming Ting was disturbed and felt a little guilty, so she immediately said: "Ming Tuo cut off my finger without any explanation. He is still sending people to look for me and a woman named Lin Ling."

"Where is Lin Ling?"

Gu Yunting realized that the other party was in trouble!
Mingting was basically sure that they were the ones who were besieging Lin Ling outside. She pointed to the mountain: "She should still be hiding in the cave. There are fifteen men inside, all of them can fight, and the rest are old and weak." …”

"Lead the way and talk as we walk." Gu Yunting was in a hurry now and didn't want to wait for a second.

Mingting thought she could let herself go after saying so much, but she didn't expect to throw herself into a trap. She wanted to refuse, but when the blade on her neck pushed in a hair, warm liquid flowed along. With her neck left, she didn't dare to speak anymore and hurried to follow.

At this time, Xiang Kang had returned to the entrance of the cave. After casually asking if anyone had come out, he heard that Grandma Eleven had come out.

When he thought of something, he immediately rushed into Grandma Eleven's house, knocked on the door and confirmed that Grandma Eleven had been sleeping. He was instantly furious.

"A bunch of trash, why don't you find them?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Two people were left to guard the entrance of the cave, while the rest went down the mountain to look for it.

All of a sudden, there were many more torches on the mountain.

Lin Ling had to avoid making too much noise, and she didn't dare to walk on the main road. She was afraid of meeting face to face, so she couldn't help but slow down a lot.

And this also led to Xiang Kang and the others looking for the direction where the branches were broken in the forest, getting closer and closer to her.

Stab, sting, sting.

The sound of leaves rubbing against each other came from behind. Lin Ling swallowed and clenched the poison bottle in her hand.

She had chosen an escape route and could run away at any time, at least there was still a chance to struggle.

Even closer, ten meters, eight meters, five meters...

"Aling."

A long, low call and a familiar voice made her collapse instantly, and she couldn't control her tears.
