The fire gradually faded away, and Qiao Yuyan's heart that had been hanging in her throat finally slowly slid back into her chest. The voices of the group of people could still be heard clearly.
"Brother, we have recovered a lot of deposits. If the girl really runs away, we will really suffer a big loss. What's more, she looks like she is not an ordinary girl. I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble."
Qiao Yuyan raised her ears and listened carefully, but the sound behind her was not very clear, only the flickering of firelight.
Who is he?
Qiao Yuyan trembled with trembling lips, breathed out gently, and finally felt a little better. Suddenly, the hand holding the branch went cold, and she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
There was a clearer chill on the back of her hand, and Qiao Yuyan's breathing suddenly became heavy. Her neck was so stiff that she could not move, and she could only move her eyes like a puppet.
Then in the faint firelight, she saw the thing that had swam to the back of her hand. The man's thumb-sized head just reached her tiger's mouth. Two small eyes were facing Qiao Yuyan, and he hissed.
.
Qiao Yuyan felt that all the blood in her body poured into her ears, surging crazily on her eardrums.
"ah!"
This scream almost seemed to come from the throat without passing through the brain. Qiao Yuyan immediately waved the snake away with a wave of her hand without using the brain at all, and her whole body immediately slipped from the branch.
The people who had walked out some distance ahead heard the noise and ran over quickly.
When Qiao Yuyan hit the second branch that grew out of the tree, she realized what had happened. She was immediately terrified and even more desperate than when she saw the snake just now.
Fortunately, she was blocked by those branches. Even though her chest and ribs were severely hurt by the impact, she was not thrown to death.
"There! Catch her quickly!" Someone shouted, and the torch moved quickly towards her.
"Damn it, this stinky girl is pretty good at hiding, and she actually deceived us all!"
Qiao Yuyan almost immediately jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, she fell to the ground as soon as she moved.
Her foot was twisted!
Within a moment, those people arrived and said, "Smelly girl, run away! Run a few more to show me!"
Qiao Yuyan bit her lip and was speechless, but her heart was filled with despair.
If she was subjected to such humiliation, it would be better to be dead now.
"Who are you? Who hired you?" Qiao Yuyan was unwilling to give in. She stared at the person who looked most like the boss and asked.
"Little girl, don't ask these useless questions. You are very tired from calling me brothers today. Don't blame us for not showing mercy later." Another thin monkey-like man had a sinister smile on his face.
She reached out to touch Qiao Yuyan's face, but she dodged it, and the others laughed.
"How much did he give you? I can give you three times, no, ten times! If you let me go, I promise that I will never come to settle the score with you later!"
These people are just looking for money. Qiao Yuyan still has a glimmer of hope in her heart. As long as the money is given enough, there is no reason why they should not agree.
Unexpectedly, the person who was called the eldest brother sneered, "She is still a very rich little girl, but the only fault is that you offended someone! In this industry, the most important thing for us is to abide by the rules."
After saying that, he waved his hand, "Brothers, tie them up and enjoy!"
The smile on the skinny monkey's face turned obscene when he heard this, "Enjoy, brother is really good at using words."
As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Qiao Yuyan and said, "Little girl, don't let me touch it yet. I'll let you know what I feel like later. Keeping it for you is not enough!"
Qiao Yuyan was extremely desperate. Even though she didn't want to show weakness at this time, tears welled up involuntarily. When the hand reached towards her chest, she couldn't avoid it.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream sounded in her ears, and Qiao Yuyan's eyes were filled with tears. When she looked again, she saw that the skinny monkey-like man had flown out.
"who?"
The few people holding torches immediately spread out and surrounded Qiao Yuyan and the man in black in front of her.
"Who are you? Why did you ruin my brother's affairs?"
The boss's face looked very ugly at this time. He turned around and glanced at the thin monkey lying motionless on the ground. Then he looked at the man in black and his eyes became extremely serious.
To be able to appear so quietly and beat the thin monkey unconscious with one move, this person's skills are very terrifying.
Qiao Yuyan was still sitting under the tree, feeling grateful for the man in black who appeared in front of her. She didn't know who this man was or why he suddenly appeared, but it was obvious that he was here to save her.
only……
Her eyes fell on the people opposite. There were four of them, and they all looked tall and strong. Can one person here handle them?
Such worries disappeared immediately after a few breaths. Looking at the four people groaning on the ground, Qiao Yuyan was stunned.
The man in black did not speak, and took out a roll of rope from somewhere. He tied the five people to a tree one after another like animals, and then passed over one by one, holding the knife in his hand and falling to the ground.
The jaws of five people were removed.
Then he walked up to Qiao Yuyan.
Although he was dressed in black, this person did not cover his face as the storybook said.
He planted the torches of those people on the ground, and in the light of the fire, he could clearly see the person's appearance.
She also seemed to understand why this person did not need to be masked. He seemed to have a very normal and very strange face.
Normal because his facial features are all normal, ordinary, nothing special.
It was strange because his facial features were so ordinary that people couldn't remember him. Once he saw him and turned around, Qiao Yuyan forgot what he looked like.
"you……"
What's even more strange is that this person has not said a word, no, not a word at all.
Looking at the people over there dragging their tongues and moaning, she felt that this was a bit weird and scary.
"You..." Qiao Yuyan thought for a moment, "Did you just happen to save my life when you were passing by?"
After saying that, he quickly said: "I don't know where the brave man is, where are you going? I... I haven't repaid the life-saving grace, so please give me a chance, but..."
"But first I need to trouble you to send me home."
Qiao Yuyan was really scared of this ghost place. Not to mention these bad guys, the snake had scared her soul just now, and she didn't know if the person who wanted to harm her had any plans.
The man in black looked at Qiao Yuyan steadily for a while, then suddenly reached out and handed something over, "Let's go!"
Qiao Yuyan took it doubtfully, only to find that it was a branch with a fork, which was just enough to be used as a crutch for her. This person could clearly see at a glance that her foot was injured.
"Thank you."
Qiao Yuyan quickly followed him with the crutch, but her feet were in severe pain and she couldn't walk fast. Fortunately, the other person was a careful person and his steps were extremely slow.
