"Since they don't know how to divide their troops, why not..." Lin Yawen heard that Jiang Long's analysis was quite reasonable, so she gritted her teeth and said: "How about I put on your clothes and go hiking, and you and Shui Lan also separate, one goes down the mountain directly, and the other
Go down the mountain on the left!"
Although there are not many trees on the hillside on the right, if you run farther away, it will be difficult to distinguish men and women from their backs.
In this era, both men and women had long hair. At this time, Lin Ya and Jiang Long's hair was also loose and messy.
Furthermore, besides being taller than Lin Ya, Jiang Long's skinny figure is similar to Lin Ya's.
Lin Yazhen put on Jiang Long's clothes. Except for people she was very close to and familiar with, it was really difficult for others to recognize her from a distance of more than ten feet.
After Lin Ya said this, she seemed to have made up her mind and went straight to untie Jiang Long's belt!
"How can I, a grown man, let you be my substitute for death?"
Jiang Long directly stretched out his hand to stop him, and gently squeezed Lin Ya's white and tender hand with his right hand. There was a trace of tenderness in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Lin Ya would make this suggestion. You must know that Lin Ya's physical strength was very poor, and now she was even more desperate.
I can't run anymore. If I really change into his clothes and go up the mountain to lure away the masked man, I will definitely die or live!
"Obey, you and Shui Lan go down the mountain together. I have a way to protect myself! I won't die easily in this deep mountain forest." Jiang Long looked calm, with extreme confidence in his eyes, and squeezed Lin Ya's palm.
After using a little more force, he warned again, "Remember to run away later and make sure no one is chasing you. Then you two will find a way to climb up the tree. There are ferocious beasts in the woods. Before the rescuers arrive,
, it’s better to stay in the trees.”
After that, Jiang Long no longer gave Lin Ya a chance to speak, and just ran towards the hillside on the right.
Lin Ya wanted to catch up, but her sleeve was suddenly pulled.
Shui Lan's lowered voice also sounded, "Do you really think that person is your husband-in-law? He is so affectionate and willing to die for him, hum!
Come down the mountain with me obediently. If he dies here today, go and please Mrs. Jing. Anyway, as long as we find a way to seize the power of the Jing Mansion, we can complete the tasks assigned by the masters in the family."
Lin Ya gritted her teeth and let Shui Lan pull her, but she stood motionless.
But then Shui Lan put on a serious face and snorted coldly: "You don't want your younger brother because you like Jing Jianglong, right?"
Lin Ya can never let go of her younger brother!
Lin Ya immediately relaxed when her younger brother's little face, which always had a timid expression and sickly paleness, suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
After taking a deep look at Jiang Long's direction, she let Shui Lan pull her and ran down the densely forested hillside.
She really wanted to die on behalf of Jiang Long and make Jiang Long owe her a huge favor!
Then he made a clear explanation, which could also be said to be repaying a favor, and asked Jiang Long to find a way to take his younger brother out of the Lin family in the future and get rid of the control of the Lin family's elders and stepmother.
As long as her brother can be safe and have a life of great happiness, even if it is just an ordinary life, she feels that even death is worth it.
Later, when I met my mother underground, she finally lived up to her promise!
But Jiang Long did not agree.
She rushed into the woods and kept dodging the branches in front of her. She was still thinking about it. After a while, she sighed softly in her heart. She was a little too impulsive.
Put on Jing Jianglong's clothes, how far can you run when you are exhausted?
The masked man was already chasing him very close. He would have time to catch up and kill him, and then turn around and chase Jiang Long.
I'm afraid that a life will be lost in vain.
On the contrary, Jiang Long's arrangement was correct. Jiang Long ran fast and was the opponent's primary target. After catching up and killing Jiang Long, the masked man would probably not come to trouble her and Shui Lan again.
Thinking about something in her mind, Delinya accidentally stepped on a pothole while running and almost twisted her ankle.
Her body swayed and Shui Lan almost fell down.
"Be careful!" Shui Lan scolded. She didn't want to die here. As long as she could help Lin Ya complete the tasks assigned by the Lin family's elders, her better days were ahead.
She has been suffering since she was a child. She had to work non-stop during the day at home and could only sleep for a short while at night. Even so, she was scolded by her stepfather. She was regarded as unnecessary burden by her remarried mother. It can be said that she has not lived a long life.
When the weather is good, she wants to seek her own happiness!
Lin Ya responded in a low voice, and she and Shui Lan sped away again.
In fact, the main reason why she impulsively wanted to die on behalf of Jiang Long was that she felt that living was too tiring and difficult, so she was overwhelmed at such a young age and would subconsciously want to die and let go of the pressure on her body.
Carrying a heavy burden.
This can be regarded as an escape from reality!
After a while, the hurried masked men caught up to the top of the mountain.
Separated again?
The masked man leader looked at his feet and was about to follow the traces to both sides when one of his subordinates suddenly pointed to the right and said: "Over there, the target is over there!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked over, and then saw a man in white struggling to climb the hillside.
The leader of the masked man squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while, then nodded and said: "It should be that boy from the Jing family." At this point, he pondered again, "But the superiors also asked us to get rid of Jing as much as possible.
The new young lady who has entered the house is Lin Ya."
"Then let's split up our forces and catch up?" a tall masked man suggested.
"No." The masked man leader thought for a while, shook his head and said: "We have divided our forces several times to pursue pursuits, and now there are only seven people left here including me. Once that kid leaves our sight, he knows how to cover up the traces on the ground.
, this deep in the mountains and wild forests, our small manpower cannot even conduct a large-scale scattered search.
Moreover, I don’t know who Qrow was killed by before. If there are hidden guards around the Jing family boy, if we divide our forces again, I’m afraid it will be difficult to successfully kill this person.”
All the masked men nodded their heads.
The leader's analysis makes sense.
"Let's go, let Lin Ya go. As long as we can get rid of Jing Jianglong this time, we will have completed the mission!" The masked man leader waved his hand and chased Jiang Long first.
The others immediately followed.
Although Jiang Long seemed to have a fire in his belly at this time because he had taken an ancient medicine and had excellent endurance, his distance was still not as good as these masked killers, so the distance between them gradually shortened as time passed.
.
Jiang Long panted violently while running. He looked up and saw that he was not far from the top of the mountain.
The masked man leader kept staring at Jiang Long's figure and calculating the distance.
Less than ten feet!
When Lin Ya almost reached the foot of the mountain, she stopped and listened carefully.
As expected by Jiang Long, there were no pursuers behind her.
So she started looking for big trees nearby that were easier to climb.
Jiang Long is right. There are many ferocious beasts living in the mountains and forests, the most numerous of which are wild wolves. If delicate and weak women like Lin Ya and Shui Lan accidentally encounter one, they will definitely become the beast's rations.
.
However, although there are many wild animals in the mountains and forests, the only ones that can climb trees are black bears and leopards.
The number of black bears and leopards is very rare.
I believe that the luck of Lin Ya and Shui Lan will not be so bad.
Shui Lan had heard Jiang Long's instructions earlier. Seeing that there were no pursuers and she was exhausted from running for a long time, Shui Lan decided to find a tree and climb up.
Lin Ya raised her head and was looking for a suitable and easy-to-climb tree. She took a few steps forward when the sound of gurgling water suddenly reached her ears.
After running for a long time, she was tired and sweating profusely and subconsciously licked her lips, feeling thirsty.
"Shui Lan, there is the sound of water over there. Let's go drink some water first, and then look for an easier tree to climb."
Lin Ya suggested.
Shui Lan was also very thirsty at this time, her lips were dry, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
The two girls slowly walked towards the water source in the woods. After walking about ten feet away, they saw a clear river flowing slowly from west to east at the foot of the mountain.
Shui Lan rushed over quickly and knelt on the ground with a plop. He didn't care that his hands were wet with sweat, covered with dust, and black. He just picked up the river water, lowered his head and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
Lin Ya frowned slightly when she saw Shui Lan's vulgar appearance.
Then he slowly rolled up his sleeves while walking, and when he came to the river, he first arranged his clothes in the light of the river water, and then used the only gold hairpin on his head to tie his black hair, and then carefully washed his white jade-like hands.
Then he took a small sip of the cool river water and drank it.
"snort!"
At this time, Shui Lan had drunk enough. She saw the elegant movements of Lin Ya, a famous lady, from the corner of her eye. She felt envious, jealous, and resentful. Her poor background made her feel very inferior when facing Lin Ya, but she didn't know how to fight.
She gave up in her heart, but pretended to be disdainful and snorted with her nostrils to indicate that this was the time, and Lin Ya still had so many rules and regulations.
When Lin Ya heard the voice, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Shui Lan.
When he turned around, a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Have you packed up?" After a while, Shui Lan couldn't help but urge when she saw Lin Ya still squatting by the river.
Lin Ya lowered her head and turned her eyes slightly.
Hearing this, she stood up slowly and said, "I think it's still not safe here. We'd better go further, otherwise what if the masked man catches up with us again?" At this point, she raised her hand and pointed to the river.
Upstream, "The water flows down from there. There should be a pool there. Where there is water, there are fish. Even if the reinforcements can't find us for a while, we can catch fish to survive for a few days. So I suggested,
We'd better walk that way."
When Shui Lan heard Lin Ya mentioning the masked man, she felt frightened in her heart.
She didn't want to die, so she agreed immediately.
In the final analysis, Shui Lan is just a person who obeys the instructions of others and has no ideas of his own.
The two girls, one behind the other, walked upstream along the river bank. After about a stick of incense, they saw a pool with an area of about ten acres.
There should be a spring under the pool, which is the source of the small river.
After Shui Lan saw the pool, she quickly walked over and started to tidy up her clothes and hair.
When she saw Lin Ya putting on her makeup, she snorted with disdain. In fact, she wanted to imitate Lin Ya. However, compared with Lin Ya's nobility and elegance, she looked like a wild girl from the mountains, so she couldn't do it.
Come on.
Naturally, it is time to tidy things up.
However, because I was in a hurry to drink water, I knelt on the somewhat wet shore, so my clothes were stained with mud, and now I couldn't get it off no matter how hard I slapped them.
Lin Ya narrowed her eyes and clenched her little hands into fists.
After a while, she looked around and suddenly said: "Shuilan, the tree by the pool is not high, has many branches, and looks very strong. It should be easier to climb. Why don't we climb up that tree together?"
Hide it."
"Okay." Shui Lan responded.
Shui Lan was born in a farm of the Lin family. Her family was poor. Her mother did not care for her stepfather and she often did not have enough to eat, so she used to go up trees to take out bird eggs to fill her stomach.
When I was little, I was like a boy.
Although he has never climbed a tree since he was selected as a sergeant in the Lin Mansion, he can still climb trees with nimbleness.
Lin Ya can't. This is her first time climbing a tree.
And because he is spoiled, he has very little strength.
In the end, Shui Lan was at the bottom, holding Lin Ya up a bit and standing on a branch. Then she climbed higher by herself and reached out to pull Lin Ya.
It took as long as a stick of incense for the two girls to climb to a height of about two feet above the ground.
This height should be very safe.
Shui Lan was panting from exhaustion, raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, and complained: "You are so stupid!"
"Sit down and rest for a while."
Lin Ya didn't pay attention. She lowered her head, exposing her snow-white neck at the collar, and looked at the deep, clear green pool at her feet.
"Um."
Shui Lan held the branch above her head with one hand and held her skirt with the other hand to prevent it from getting caught on the branch. She sat down on the branch under her feet and lowered her head to look at those swimming in the pool.
The fish didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Ya.
