Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 63

Mo Rushen was about to take away the only survivor, when there was another commotion, and the flames came from far to near.

It's Yun'an County Yamen servant!

With a wrong eye, the masked leader ran towards the officer like crazy, shouting loudly: "There is a ghost!! Lord, there is a ghost here!!"

That's too late.

Mo Ru deeply weighed the distance between himself and that person, and if he pursued him at this time, he would definitely be discovered by the yamen servant.This time, he and his friends were ordered by Shangfeng to go to various prefectures in the southwest on business, and they had to conceal their whereabouts and identities.

"Boss, it's really those people from the Qinghu Gang!"

The yamen servants immediately pulled out their official knives and yelled at the masked chief: "Throw away the sword and kneel down!"

Without even thinking about it, the masked leader lay on the ground, his pants already wet several times.

The servants looked at each other.They received an anonymous tip that the Qinghu Gang, which had been causing headaches for Yun'an and the three neighboring towns, was coming to loot Shuanghe Village under Yun'an Town.The shocked county magistrate immediately summoned all the yamen servants, opened the warehouse, and distributed the armor, rattan shield, and sword that he had been reluctant to take out to everyone.

But this...is it a trap? !
The yamen servants did not dare to rush forward, and many of them kept waving torches in front of them to prevent the bandits from counterattacking.

"Boss, it's true!" The yamen servant who went to inquire, tore off the black cloth on the strong man's face, and compared it with the portrait in his hand, "This man is their master!"

The brawny man was so frightened that tears and snot wiped his face, his whole body trembled like chaff, his eyes lost his focus, and he kept muttering: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts, there are really ghosts..."

The Yamen servants found a lot of corpses in front of them, and they were all fatally stabbed!Judging from the final expressions of the deceased, none of them experienced great tension, and almost all died in ignorance.

"Boss, why is this more cautious than those tortures in the prison?" A yamen servant rubbed his arms, and goose bumps appeared on his body.

The face of the head catcher was also pale for a while.Those tortures in the prison are all known to be done by people, and these...could there be ghosts?He patted his face hard, and said loudly with courage: "Everyone, search around to see if there are any other survivors!"

On the towering ancient tree, Mo Ru quietly watched the busy yamen servants under the tree, listening to every word of the conversation just now.

The Qinghu Gang... Could it be that ordinary bandits came to rob houses?
Seeing the yamen servants gradually disperse, Mo Rushen took the opportunity to leave quietly.

Xia Junyan huddled on the tree trunk, holding the ancient tree with both hands, feeling that she was about to freeze.

The strong man won't be gone forever, or has something happened?
Xia Junyan was so anxious that she was about to cry. She has lived peacefully in modern times for more than 20 years. Although she did not have enough food or clothing to stay warm once she traveled through time, it was the first time she was trapped in a big tree dozens of meters away like now!
One quarter of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour.

More than half an hour has passed...

"Help..." Xia Junyan trembled, trying to hypnotize herself, "I'm really not afraid of heights, it's not high at all, it's only seven or eight floors, so what's the height...Brother Mo , please, come back quickly!!”

When Mo Rushen came, what he saw was Xia Junyan who closed her eyes tightly and was about to shrink into a ball.

He... is too careless!
Mo Rushen is extremely self-blame, at such a height, if there is a mistake...

"Brother Mo!" Xia Junyan opened her eyes suddenly, as if she was seeing her relatives, she rushed over instinctively, holding her hands tightly on Mo Rushen's waist, "I'm really not afraid of heights at all, really, it's the wind It's a bit cold..."

Mo Rushen held her with one hand, her voice was not loud, but it seemed to be heard in her ears, making people unconsciously lean on her: "Don't be afraid, I'm back."
