"Those children...are all dead?" Xia Younan spoke, breaking the silence, his eyes slightly red and his tone slightly choked.

Qu Xiaoyou and the others lowered their heads and did not answer. Bai Yiyao could not help but sob softly, tears falling one by one.

"They are not dead yet." Lu Xiuyuan suddenly said, attracting everyone's attention.

"Before I passed out last night, I heard Yue Xiangsong say that there was only one last night left and those children would be free."

Xia Younan's heart trembled, and he moved closer and asked excitedly: "Really? They will be freed tonight, so they will kill them tonight? Do we still have a chance to go out and rescue them?"

Lu Xiuyuan nodded, "As long as we can get out of this room, there is hope of saving them."

Hearing this, they became more hopeful and no longer lost heart. They all stood up to check every exit, door, window, and even rat holes in the room, trying to find a way out.

However, if they wanted to lock them up, how could they let them out easily? The doors and windows were locked tightly with iron locks and chains, and it was impossible to break them open from the inside.

"Damn it, what should I do if I can't get out?" Zhu Li pounded on the door angrily, his face full of regret.

Lu Xiuyuan sat on the ground and sighed, saying, "He didn't kill us last night, which proves that he doesn't want us to die. Let's wait a little longer, maybe they will send us food at dinner time, and when the door opens, we will rush in immediately!"

They had no choice but to calm down and sit on the ground to bide their time.

Time passed by little by little, and everyone closed their eyes to rest. No one noticed that Qu Xiaoyou was scratching his arm in the corner.

That spot was exactly where the kid from Diancheng had bitten me...

The sun gradually moved towards the west, and the house was filled with the afterglow of the setting sun, but it was still very quiet outside the door, and no one came to bring them food.

Lu Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold his temper any longer, he suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.

"Those who have inner strength come over here, let's attack together and break through the door!"

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, this is the only way.

"Yao'er!"

As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a man's voice shouting outside.

They were stunned at first, and then looked at Bai Yiyao who was still in a daze in tacit understanding.

"Xiao Bai, it's your lover calling you." Xia Younan said excitedly. She recognized the voice as the lover she met with Bai Yiyao that night. Great, things might turn around.

Bai Yiyao also realized that she could ask him for help. Although she was still angry with him, she still thought that those poor children were the most important.

So she stepped forward and responded, "It's my brother Bai, I'm here."

Yue Zhibai outside the door was very happy to hear the voice, but at the same time asked in confusion: "Why are you here? I heard that my father captured a few outsiders, including a beautiful Miao girl.

"I had a feeling that the girl was you, so I couldn't wait to come find you."

"I..." Bai Yiyao looked at Lu Xiuyuan, as if asking her how she should answer.

Lu Xiuyuan thought for a moment and whispered, "Say you came to see him on purpose, but Yue Xiangsong caught you as an intruder and asked him to let you go."

Bai Yiyao nodded and said to Yue Zhibai outside the door: "Brother Zhibai, I regretted it after you left that night. I think I am still willing to listen to your explanation, so I took the risk to come to you."

"But I had just entered the village and had not had time to find you when I was captured by your father's men. They refused to listen to my explanation and insisted that I was an intruder. You should let me go."

Yue Zhibai was overjoyed to hear that his lover had come to see him, but he didn't believe her so easily. He asked again, "So that's the case. Then I heard that my father arrested more than ten people. Who are those people? What is your relationship with them?"

Bai Yiyao asked Lu Xiuyuan again, and Lu Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "To protect you through the primeval forest."

Bai Yiyao received the message and cried pitifully to Yue Zhibai about her grievances, saying that she was outnumbered and had low martial arts skills, and was afraid that she could not pass through the dangerous primeval forest, so she spent a lot of money to hire a few bodyguards.

We were able to reach the Black Miao Village safely thanks to the protection of several bodyguards.

Her answer was so perfect that Yue Zhibai outside the door no longer had any doubts. He was moved that his lover had suffered for him, so he took out the key and opened the door for them.

"I knew Yao'er came here for me, so I stole the key and let Yao'er out immediately. Then we'll go meet my father and explain everything to him, and ask him to help us, okay?"

Yue Zhibai opened the door and spoke excitedly, completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.

"Snap!" With the sound of the door lock falling to the ground, Lu Xiuyuan and several others rushed forward, pushed the door open violently, and in a flash put their swords on Yue Zhibai's neck.

Yue Zhibai was stunned, his eyes wide open. He looked at the sword shining coldly at his neck, then looked at Bai Yiyao, his face full of shock and pain.

"Yao'er, you..."

Bai Yiyao lowered her head and dared not look at him. She knew in her heart that Yue Zhibai was the best weapon to save those children.

But he was just a bargaining chip to achieve their goal, she would not let them hurt him. If anything happened to him, she would let him go and be his wife in the next life.

Having made up her mind, she pretended to be calm and said to Lu Xiuyuan and the others, "Let's go quickly. It's getting dark. Don't delay saving those children."

The crowd said no more and took Yue Zhibai hostage towards the cave in their memory.

On the way to the cave, Yue Zhibai followed them obediently without saying a word, his pale face full of deep sorrow. It was as if the damage Bai Yiyao had brought him was so severe that he no longer cared about life or death.

Xia Younan felt a little sorry for it and advised, "Don't blame Xiaobai. Blame your father for his evil deeds and lack of conscience. Only you can restrain your father."

Yue Zhibai reacted after hearing this, and looked at her and asked, "Who are you? What makes you say that my father has done so many evil things?"

Xia Younan sneered as if he had heard something funny, "Interesting, why? Who in the area knows what your father and the Black Miao Village did? He is just a bastard who does all kinds of bad things for profit! We deal with him to get rid of harm for the people!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Yue Zhibai shouted excitedly, his face red and his eyes glaring as he argued, "My father is a good man, he has never done anything bad, it's the world that is unfair to him! It's that old bastard Bai Ziweng..."

"presumptuous!"

The sudden roar and slap interrupted Yue Zhibai's voice.

His face was slapped to the side, and a bright red slap mark appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It’s Bai Yu!
