Why marry someone when you are reborn?

As soon as Xu Yun stopped, everyone stopped as well, and couldn't help but hold their breath nervously.

The moon had already risen, and there was only hazy moonlight and shadowy trees all around.

It's not pitch dark, but you can't see too far either.

The forest is not quiet at night, with occasional rustling sounds and the sound of birds flapping their wings and flying away.

The clear and melodious sound of birdsong was heard not far away. Soon, the same sound of birdsong was heard from another direction - as if two birds were responding to each other.

The birdsong is beautiful.

It made Xu Yun's scalp numb!

Thanks to having lived in the mountains for so long in her previous life, she really knew what the forest looked like at night! Such bird calls would never happen in the middle of the night!

"Let's go." Xu Yun turned around and retreated along the same path without hesitation!

However, as soon as they turned around, everyone's heart tightened!

A man blocked their way! He was a tall and strong man. The moonlight made the knife in his hand glow slightly, which was particularly obvious in the darkness.

Xu Yun was fine. He just suddenly pulled Xie Wanqing and Hongyu back and subconsciously protected them behind him.

But Xie Wanqing and Hongyu were so scared that they almost screamed!

Ding Bo also quickly held his whip horizontally, ready to fight - but the disparity between the two sides was too great, and one could imagine what the outcome would be!

Xu Yun said: "We are just passing by, we have no money——"

However, the other party obviously didn't want to waste time talking, and directly shouted "Do it!"

After saying that, he ran over with a knife!

"Run!" Xu Yun pulled Xie Wanqing up and turned around and ran!

Of course she was not stupid. She did not run back, but ran deeper into the woods.

Hongyu screamed and ran after him subconsciously.

Ding Bo shouted, "Run apart!"

At this moment, no one thought of a head-on confrontation - three women and an elderly coachman. Unless a miracle happened, their heads would be chopped off by the other side!

Of course, running is also the worst option.

When your physical strength is exhausted, you are just waiting to die.

Xu Yun ran while searching for a place to hide.

It was at this time that Xie Wanqing sprained her ankle. After all, she had never experienced this before. Not to mention her lack of physical strength, the most important thing was that she couldn't see the road clearly. The forest was not flat, with tree roots, stones, small pits, and everything else.

However, after falling, Xie Wanqing didn't even care about the pain, and just pushed Xu Yun: "Ah Yun, run on your own! Don't worry about me!"

The footsteps behind were getting closer. It was impossible to continue running with Xie Wanqing.

Xu Yun looked around and hid behind a tree without hesitation! At the same time, he said, "Don't be afraid."

Xie Wanqing was stunned, but she didn't have time to think about it. The man had already chased after her! Although he was not the one holding a knife, the dagger in his hand was also flashing with cold light!

Xie Wanqing was still afraid, and tried to get up with her hands and feet, but she couldn't get up at all. She didn't care about her image, so she just supported herself with her hands and kicked back with her feet: "Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"

"You ruined our plan!" The man was obviously in a bad mood and wanted to end the battle quickly: "Die!"

The man pounced forward and held Xie Wanqing down, intending to directly stroke Xie Wanqing's neck!

At this moment, Xu Yun came out from behind the tree silently, raised the porcelain pillow and hit the other person directly on the head!

She fought tooth and nail without mercy.

The man didn't expect that the two women would dare to join forces to fight back, and he was completely unprepared.

Xu Yun hit the target right away.

The man just staggered and then fell down, hitting the soft fallen leaves and making quite a noise.

Xie Wanqing trembled all over, her teeth chattering: "Ah Yun, is he dead?"

Xu Yun bent down and took away the man's short blade: "Not yet."

"Then let's run." Xie Wanqing shivered even more violently.

Xu Yun lowered his eyes and remained motionless: "Mother, close your eyes."

Xie Wanqing realized what Xu Yun wanted to do, and immediately widened her eyes and said in horror: "Ah Yun, you——"

Xu Yun held the man down, found the spot on his heart, and stabbed him with a "puff".

The blood was warm, and she couldn't help but tremble a little, but she kept her lips pursed and didn't waver in the slightest.

Xu Yun never thought about leaving any trouble behind!

After Xu Yun finished stabbing, he dragged the man's body behind a tree and prepared to hide it. This way, even if someone came after him, he might be able to pretend to be weak and try again.

She did all this without saying a word, nor did she call Xie Wanqing for help.

However, when Xie Wanqing gradually recovered from her shock and fear, she took the initiative to come over to help.

Xu Yun was a little surprised by this, but she didn't stop moving: "If you are scared, you can just close your eyes and not look. It wasn't you who killed the person—"

She understood that Xie Wanqing was a soft-hearted and kind person and could not stand seeing this.

On the contrary, if Xie Wanqing thought that this person's death was related to her, she would probably feel guilty and would have difficulty sleeping in the future.

Xie Wanqing's hands were obviously shaking, but she said, "Mom is not afraid. Mom is not afraid. He wants to kill us, we are just... just..."

She wanted to say that she did it just to save her life, but when she thought about the fact that the other person was knocked unconscious and unable to move, and that it was Xu Yun who killed him, she couldn't continue.

But there was no hesitation in the movements of his hands.

Finally, Xie Wanqing lowered her head and said, "Ah Yun, I understand. I understand."

Xu Yun looked at Xie Wanqing, without exposing the guilt and trembling in her voice, nor did he ask Xie Wanqing what she understood.

The darkness provided the best cover for everything. Perhaps because he thought that one person was enough to kill the two women, Xu Yun did not wait for the second enemy.

Xie Wanqing sprained her ankle and couldn't walk fast, so Xu Yun found a hiding place for Xie Wanqing and went to find Hongyu and Ding Bo.

In the dense forest at night, there are some places where the moonlight cannot reach, so it is actually not easy to walk in it.

If you are not careful, you will be tripped by the tangled tree roots and dead branches.

Xu Yun walked with great concentration, not daring to relax at all.

She didn't know where Hongyu and the others had gone, so she could only look for them based on the direction they ran in before they separated.

Xu Yun was worried about Hongyu and Xie Wanqing who stayed there. She was very worried.

Moreover, she might encounter enemies on her side.

Xu Yun moved cautiously through the woods and finally heard some movement.

She moved towards that direction.

Soon, she saw two people fighting fiercely.

The reason why she mistook them for Hongyu was because one of them was a woman.

But the woman was really strong. She fought back and forth with the other man. Even though she was hit from time to time, she always avoided the vital parts.

Xu Yun had no intention of intervening and quietly stepped back.

But before I walked far, I saw someone again.

She is also a woman, but still not Hongyu.

And this one wasn't that powerful. Perhaps because she was outmatched, she was pinned to the ground, with the blade pressed against her neck - even so, she didn't give up and was still holding on.

Not far away, there were footsteps of someone running towards this side. Xu Yun could clearly distinguish the sound of crushing dead branches and leaves.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Yun called out softly, "Library."

"I'm here." Following this inexplicably cold response, a porcelain pillow appeared in Xu Yun's hand.

Xu Yun quietly moved over.
