Just as Gui Xiucai ordered his two men with a gloomy face to drag Shen Mingxuan away and bury him like a dead dog, Liu Yuling said anxiously in an almost pleading tone:

"Wait a minute! He is my brother. As his younger sister, I must do my best to take care of his funeral. So I want to go with you and personally choose a good place for him to be buried, so that he can rest in peace."

As she spoke, Lucy Liu pretended to wipe away her non-existent tears with her hands. Her body was shaking slightly, and she looked pitiful and heartbroken.

At this time, the ghost scholar glanced at Shen Mingxuan, who seemed to have no life, waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"Forget it, for the sake of Brother Silver Fox, I'll leave this body to you to deal with."

After saying this, he and Jia Lao Hu turned around and walked away.

The two men walked up to Shen Mingxuan, and one of them grabbed one of his hands and started to drag him forward roughly.

At this time, Fu Tingchen stood up and said, "This is my woman's brother. Even if he is dead, he should not be treated like this."

As he spoke, he pointed at one of his men and said sternly, "You, go find a stretcher, and then you put him on the stretcher and carry him away!"

The subordinate who was pointed at curled his lips, looking reluctant, but considering Silver Fox's high status, he had no choice but to find a stretcher, one person carried the front and one carried the back. They had no place to put the hoe for digging the pit, so they temporarily placed it at the foot of the stretcher.

In this way, carrying the injured Shen Mingxuan, they came to the valley. This place was some distance away from where everyone lived, near the exit of the valley, and the surroundings were quiet, with lush vegetation and a clear stream flowing by.

At this time, Fu Tingchen looked around and said, "The scenery here is nice, baby, it's also good to let your brother rest here."

Lucy Liu responded in a coquettish manner, "I'll listen to Ah Hu. I'm Ah Hu's person now. Ah Hu will decide."

Fu Tingchen then said to his two men: "Put him down and you can leave."

The subordinate was puzzled when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Silver Fox, aren't you going to dig a hole and bury it?"

Fu Tingchen was displeased when he heard this, and responded in an unquestionable tone: "No, my woman will handle it herself, so I won't bother you."

The two men looked at each other, and one of them was secretly delighted, thinking: It's just right not to dig a hole, I'm too lazy to dig it, it saves trouble.

The other was puzzled: What's the matter with not digging a hole? Should I report it to the ghost scholar?

But then he thought again, the person was dead anyway, and he wouldn't get any reward or benefit by telling the ghost scholar, so it was better to have less trouble than more.

So the two of them didn't think any more and left as they were told.

Immediately afterwards, Lucy Liu rushed forward anxiously, breathing rapidly, her eyes full of anxiety and worry, and she couldn't wait to bend over to check on Shen Mingxuan's condition.

At this moment, Shen Mingxuan's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and slowly opened, with a hint of weakness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lucy Liu's face blossomed with surprise and joy, and she asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Shen Mingxuan nodded weakly and said with all his strength: "The healing pills you gave me are very effective. I feel my leg injury is no longer serious. It's just that the bleeding of this new arm injury has stopped, but the bullet is still deeply buried in the flesh."

As he spoke, Shen Mingxuan looked at Fu Tingchen and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Do you have a knife or something like that? I want to take the bullet out."

Fu Tingchen frowned slightly, quickly took out a sharp knife from his body and handed it to Shen Mingxuan.

Seeing this, Lucy Liu said nervously, "Wait a minute, it must hurt if you dig so hard!"

Shen Mingxuan gritted his teeth and responded with determination: "It's okay. When I was detained, I even removed two bullets from my legs. This little pain is nothing."

After saying that, Shen Mingxuan took a deep breath, veins popped out on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and pulled the bullet out, beads of sweat instantly covering his forehead.

Liu Yuling felt distressed upon seeing this, and quickly said, "I have some hemostatic medicine here." As she spoke, she used her pocket as a cover and actually took out a packet of medicine powder from the space. She applied the medicine to him skillfully, and then tore a piece of cloth from Shen Mingxuan's clothes and carefully bandaged it and tied it tightly.

Shen Mingxuan tried to move his injured arm, then stood up with difficulty.

It was noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sun was baking the earth.

Fu Tingchen's face was full of worry, his brows were furrowed, and he asked anxiously:

"Can you hold on in your current state? Can you walk down the mountain safely by yourself?"

Shen Mingxuan looked determined, took a deep breath, and said firmly:

"I'm fine. You guys go back first and don't let anyone find you. I'll be careful."

Then, Shen Mingxuan endured the pain in his arm and walked towards the exit of the valley with a slightly staggering but determined step. The staggering figure gradually moved away among the lush and intertwined branches of the mountain forest, and finally disappeared.

Liu Yuling and Fu Tingchen stared at his back as he walked further and further away until he disappeared, their hearts hanging in their throats the whole time. Only after they were sure that the figure had completely disappeared into the forest and no trace of him could be seen anymore did they breathe a sigh of relief and feel a little relieved.

At this moment, there was a very subtle sound, as if a branch was gently broken.

Fu Tingchen was instantly alert, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted loudly: "Who?"

After saying that, he quickly walked in the direction where the sound came from. When he came to the thick tree in the distance, he found that there was no one around, and there was no one in sight.

Fu Tingchen was full of doubts, and walked slowly a few steps towards the houses in the valley. Unintentionally, he saw a shoe on the side of the path.

So, he bent down to pick up the shoe, looked solemnly at Liu Yuling who had hurriedly followed, and said in a heavy tone: "It seems that someone secretly saw Shen Mingxuan leaving."

The two looked at each other, both with gloomy faces, as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, heavy and full of uneasiness and worry, but they didn't know what to do.

At this time, Fu Tingchen pondered for a moment, turned to Liu Yuling and said: "Since we have been discovered, let's just make a good show. Let's go back first!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked back quickly, picked up the hoe and dug hard into the ground, one after another, digging with all his strength, just to build a grave for Shen Mingxuan. Sweat poured down his forehead like a stream, and he had no time to wipe it off.

Lucy Liu watched silently from the side, biting her lips tightly, and unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes tighter with her hands.

After some hard work, they finally dug the pit and built a decent grave.

At this time, Fu Tingchen straightened up, gently patted his extremely aching waist, and then quietly returned to the house with Liu Yuling.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy at this time, and the two sat opposite each other in silence. Fu Tingchen frowned, looking out the window from time to time, speculating in his mind about what might happen next.

Lucy Liu clasped her hands on her knees, her eyes revealing uneasiness and anxiety.

Time passes by minute by minute, and unknown danger seems to be approaching quietly.
