Chapter 9 Then get out!

The square bonfire party was lively, at the same time, in the prisoner's area.

A middle-aged man in a robe took the guards to check and count the number of people. The prisoners set a time for a designated day to do farm work and would count the number of people at night.

The middle-aged wooden houses in the prisoner area were all lit, but there was no light in a broken wooden house in the corner. The middle-aged man seemed to see it and frowned.

"Which prisoner lives in that house?" the middle-aged man asked the guard behind him. When he heard this, the guard immediately stepped forward respectfully and clasped his fists and said.

"It's a nine-year-old girl living." After the guard said, the middle-aged man said curiously. There were not many children in the prison area, not that there were no children, but that there was no chance to grow up. Many people would freeze to death in the cold winter. There were very few prisoners who could live until they grew up. It was because of this that middle-aged people felt curious.

"What's the name?" the middle-aged man continued to ask, and as he spoke, he walked towards the wooden house. The guards behind him followed closely behind the middle-aged man and replied.

"Everyone in the captive area called her Ying'er." The guard replied, and his sweat broke out as he spoke.

It turned out that this guard was the supervisor of the prisoner area, and the middle-aged man was the subordinate of the fifth elder Wu Zhen, named Huo Jian. He was famously tricky and often punished his subordinates for a small mistake. However, because he was deeply trusted by Wu Zhen, others could not do anything to him. Therefore, the guards were very afraid of him and were very cautious. They kept bent down and did not dare to look up at him, for fear of angering Huo Jian. The guards never expected that Huo Jian would suddenly come to check the number of people today, and Ying'er was also taken out by Xingyuan.

The guards walked towards the wooden house step by step as Huo Jian thought about the wooden house, and his heart seemed to be beating with Huo Jian's footsteps, and cold sweat broke out.

"Ying'er? Why do I feel so familiar with this name?" Huo Jian said, with a thoughtful look on his face. He turned around and looked at the guards and sweated in cold sweat. He walked up and pushed open the wooden house where Ying'er lived.

The wooden house was too dilapidated, and the chains that fixed the door were rusted. When the door whipped out, it made an unpleasant creak. When it was pushed open, it did not have the stench that Huo Jian imagined. Instead, it was a faint fragrance, very light, but it could smell it, which made people feel very comfortable. This fragrance was emitted by a purple orchid fragrance given to Yinger by Xingyuan. It was a precious herb. Yinger has been taking good care of it.

Huo Jian pushed open the door, but the room was empty. Except for some neatly arranged objects, the bed was empty, and Ying'er was not in the wooden house.

The guard standing behind Huo Jian was so scared that he didn't dare to let out. Huo Jian glanced around the room, then left the door and walked towards other parts of the prisoner's area. The guards secretly said something was wrong. The more silent he was, the more scary he was.

"Yeah~" Huo Jian shouted lightly, and the guards were so scared that they hurried forward, sweating profusely, and their clothes were wet with sweat.

"Sir, do you have any instructions?" The guard hurried forward and almost knelt down.

"I don't make things difficult for you. I'll give you a meal to find this prisoner." Huo Jian said lightly with a expressionless face. As soon as these words came out, the guard's hanging heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes! Go and look for it now!" The guard replied immediately with his fists, not daring to delay any further. He called dozens of guards in the prisoner area and searched for Ying'er everywhere. The guards did not dare to be negligent. If they could not find it, even if they could not die, they would be beaten to become disabled. They gritted their teeth and searched everywhere. Then, their eyes turned to countless people around the bonfire in the square.

"Damn Nizi, I must be hiding in this square to eat and drink! I will catch her and see if I don't kill her!" The guard gritted his teeth and said fiercely. He was killed so badly this time. He didn't expect Huo Jian to come to inspect today. Ying'er was usually quiet in the wooden house. I wonder why he was not in the wooden house today. The guard complained in his heart. This endangered his life and safety, so why was he not nervous?

"It must be among this crowd. You go to search around in the crowd." The guard commanded his men and went into this crowd to search. If the time came, it would be over.

The guards nodded and quickly squeezed into the crowd surrounding the bonfire, searching for Ying'er's whereabouts. It was not difficult to find one of these hundreds of people, but mainly there were foreigners from other tribes gathering here, and it would be very difficult to search some places. Moreover, it was impossible to find someone in such a short time. Although it was not as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack, it was extremely difficult to find it in this crowded crowd.

The guard frowned and looked very anxious. He looked left and right, rushed into the crowd to find Ying'er.

……………………

The earth emitted purple-blue light, and the bonfire of Yunling's tribe was burning. Some undried firewood in the flames made an explosion, but they were all drowned by the buzzing voices.

"It's delicious!" Ying'er ate the barbecue in her hand, and she didn't know how much she ate. The ground was slowly covered with Ying'er's clean bones. She continued to eat, but she didn't notice that the trouble was approaching her step by step.

"Ying'er, what kind of stomach is your stomach? This feeling is more than I eat!" Huang Long opened his eyes wide and looked at the slowly skeleton of the meat on the ground. He couldn't believe his eyes. Usually he felt that he had no idea what he had to eat. Now it seems that the real foodie was the nine-year-old girl in front of him.

Xingyuan smiled narrowly, looked at Ying'er who was eating voraciously, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke if you have more."

Xingyuan said as he reached out to take a pot of water and handed it to Ying'er. Xingyuan ate a lot from Uncle San during the day, which made him feel hungry now, but seeing Ying'er eating here makes him hungry.

"Thank you Brother Xingyuan... well... delicious!" Ying'er put the barbecue in one hand and took the kettle that Xingyuan gave her with the other hand. She drank two sips with a satisfied look on her face.

"Cough cough... Ying'er pays attention to her image." Xingyuan coughed twice, handed Ying'er a handkerchief, and signaled Ying'er to wipe her mouth full of greasy mouth.

Ying'er realized it at this moment. People coming and going around looked at Ying'er's cheeks and her mouth was stuffed slowly. It was very funny. She took Xingyuan's handkerchief and quickly lowered her head to wipe her mouth. A flash of redness appeared on her face. She looked at Xingyuan embarrassedly and smiled, and her big eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Xingyuan was squinting his eyes and smiling at Ying'er. Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura, which was targeting him.

"Well? Isn't this the Young Master Xingyuan? Why are you here for a dinner too?" This voice and murderous aura came from the same person, which was Xingchi who was punched by Xingyuan in the prisoner area this morning.

"Where am I going? Do you still need to report it to you?" Xingyuan turned his head and looked at Xingchi who was slowly walking behind him, and asked back. Xingchi, a member of the two-star jade plaque, dared to point fingers at him, which shows Xingyuan's status in the tribe.

"The young clan is too worried. I'm just curious and has no intention." Xing Chi said with fists. Although she said this, her face showed a sense of inaction to Xingyuan.

"Then get out of here, you're lost in your appetite." Xing Yuan looked at Xing Chi's expression, and said fiercely.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Huang Long stood behind Xingyuan and stared at Xingchi fiercely. Xingchi glanced at Huang Long standing behind Xingyuan, and his body shook. It seemed that he had been beaten by Huang Long before, and he had a look of fear of Huang Long in his eyes.

Ying'er also hid behind Xingyuan and glanced at Xingchi's eyes. Xingchi's eyes swept to Ying'er. Ying'er saw Xingchi looking at her, and hurriedly hid behind Xingyuan and did not dare to look at him.

Xingchi glanced at Ying'er's eyes immediately turned to Xingyuan, clasped his fists and continued to say with a sarcastic smile: "Young clan, I'm fine. I guess the two behind me are interested in your captive sister."

After saying that, two guards from the prisoner area walked out of Xingchi, and their heads rushed over after hearing this. The three of them looked at Ying'er and felt relieved. I wonder if they were anxious to be punished by Huo Jian, or if they didn't take Xingyuan seriously at all, and rushed towards Ying'er behind Xingyuan.
