The moon is dark and the wind is high, saving people and fleeing for their lives.The guards at night were not as strict as during the day, and there were only two or three servants walking around in a daze with a stick.It was already the third watch, and everyone in the mansion was asleep, and no one realized that a black figure had slipped into their home.

Wei Junchen's mobility was inconvenient, so he couldn't accompany Tao Yuanhang, so he could only honestly stand outside the wall to watch for him, while Tao Yuanhang sneaked into the mansion alone with a dagger to save people.

Tao Yuanhang once lived in their house for a period of time when he conspired with the local rich man, so he is very familiar with the terrain here.Relying on his memory, he quickly found the house where the villagers were imprisoned.

In the eyes of the rich man, the villagers who are slaves have no value at all except the cultivated land, and they are treated like dogs.During the day they worked and ate in the fields, but at night they were handcuffed and imprisoned in this room. All night long, they had to stay in the room.

Standing outside the door, Tao Yuanhang could smell the unpleasant stench emanating from the room.The villagers have not yet fallen asleep, and their conversations can still be heard vaguely.

"Squeak~" Pushing open the dilapidated door, a stench came over my face.

Just like what I saw during the day, under the torment of the rich man, almost all the villagers lost a lot of weight, some of them were oppressed and even affected their spirits, and all of them looked dull and staring.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry everyone!"

Tao Yuanhang's tears burst out of his eyes like a river bursting a bank, and he knelt down in front of them begging for forgiveness, clenched teeth filled with resentment towards the rich man and self-blame for his own incompetence.

The village chief hurried forward to help him, but the shackles on his hands prevented him from touching Tao Yuanhang's body. "I can't blame you, how is it? Has the mermaid been sent to the capital?"

When it came to the mermaid, Tao Yuanhang was a little bit embarrassed, but finally patiently told the villagers the ins and outs of the incident.

"Asshole! I knew they were not good things! How could they let us go?"

"Exactly! It's a good thing you brought the mermaid back, otherwise you would have lost your wife and lost your army!"

The villagers are not tempted by money like rich people. They caught mermaids in the first place in order to be able to pay taxes. It was really forced by life. They treated Wei Junchen with goodwill. After hearing that Wei Junchen saved Tao Yuanhang, they were even more sincerely grateful.

"I'll save you out right now. After you get out, don't go back to the village. Go live somewhere else." Tao Yuanhang rubbed the shackles with a dagger, and occasional sparks of fire appeared in the dark room.

"You're not with us?"

Tao Yuanhang paused, then continued to grind, "I'm going to leave with Wei Junchen, he needs my care."

"Snapped!"

Rich people are all stingy, and the shackles they made were like cutting corners, and they were worn off by Tao Yuanhang in a short time.Wei Junchen was grinding patiently, and the villagers who had released the shackles followed him to help, and soon all the shackles were worn off.

"Let's go!" Tao Yuanhang picked up the dagger again, leading everyone to sneak in the night.

After staying in the house for a long time, the villagers were covered with a stench. Even though they sneaked around in the night, the smell still woke up many sleeping servants and those "fragrant" young ladies.

"What's the smell? What's going on?" When the villagers passed by, Xun woke up the light-sleeping butler. After smelling the smell, the butler quickly turned on the light to see what happened.

As soon as the door was opened, a group of people were seen bending down along the base of the wall. Next to the door were two black-faced, disheveled slaves. The breath from their bodies almost killed him.

"Come on! The slave has escaped! Come on!" The butler reacted quickly, and quickly retreated to the room, picked up the whip hanging on the wall, and lashed at the door frame.

Hearing this special siren, the servants woke up from their dreams one by one, quickly put on their clothes and picked up the long sticks beside them and went out.

The number of villagers is about a dozen more than that of the servants, but all of them are unarmed and weak. If you really want to fight recklessly, you really can't beat them.All the footsteps were approaching in his direction, and Tao Yuanhang simply led the villagers to run wildly in the mansion.

Wei Junchen heard the movement outside the wall, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, a handful of fish bones were almost crushed in his hands, and he didn't think of how to help them.

"Bang!" The door was slammed open by Tao Yuanhang's group. The villagers who had regained their freedom fled in all directions like frightened birds. Only the village chief and some villagers followed behind Tao Yuanhang.

"Here! Here!" Wei Junchen jumped out of the grass and waved in Tao Yuanhang's direction.

Tao Yuanhang saw the lighthouse like a lost ship, with a gratified smile on his face, and accelerated his running towards him.

The servants who followed were not only holding sticks, but also some were holding fishing nets and crossbow arrows. They would do anything to catch the villagers back.Facing the fleeing villagers, they first aimed at those who were slow and weak, and when they noticed Wei Junchen, all of them had lights in their eyes.

"It's a mermaid! Hurry up and catch the mermaid!"

The value of a mermaid is much higher than those slaves, and catching a mermaid is worth a lot of slaves.With the butler's order, all the servants changed their targets, even the slaves they had just caught simply ignored, and chased Wei Junchen and the others with a net.

"What to do! What to do!" Wei Junchen ran slowly. Seeing the servants getting closer, the villagers urged Tao Yuanhang to find a way.

Tao Yuanhang turned his head and glanced at Wei Junchen, gritted his teeth, "Village Chief, take the villagers to another direction, and I will take Wei Junchen with you."

"But……"

"It's nothing! Let's go!" Tao Yuanhang's attitude was resolute, and the village chief had no choice but to obey Tao Yuanhang's arrangement, and ran in another direction with the villagers behind him.

Sure enough, the servants did not hunt down the villagers any more, and they only had one goal—Wei Junchen.

Wei Junchen ran too slowly, Tao Yuanhang picked him up and hugged Wei Junchen tightly with both hands.

Wei Junchen, who was "carried by the princess", leaned his head on Tao Yuanhang's shoulder. Although Tao Yuanhang's speed was much faster, he could still see the servant behind them approaching a little bit.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! It will be fine when you get to the beach, and you will be safe when you return to the sea." Tao Yuanhang comforted Wei Junchen while running.

Wei Junchen was not worried about his own life at this time, but more worried about Tao Yuanhang's fate after being caught.Wei Junchen looked up at the watery moonlight, the corners of his eyes couldn't help getting wet, "Do you still remember the first night we met? You carried me to the beach like this. Even the night is exactly the same as today."

Tao Yuanhang kissed Wei Junchen lightly on the head, "You will be fine, don't worry."

Getting closer and closer to the coastline, Tao Yuanhang's physical strength was almost overdrawn, and the arm holding Wei Junchen was crushed until it lost its color, but he still didn't let him go.His running speed was getting slower and slower. When he stepped on the beach, he stepped on the air and fell to the ground.

"Go quickly! Go!" the exhausted Tao Yuanhang shouted, pointing in the direction of the sea.

Wei Junchen shook his head, trying to help Tao Yuanhang up, "No, let's go together!"

The servants who were chasing behind quickly caught up and surrounded Wei Junchen and Tao Yuanhang.

After running for so long, the servants leaned on their knees and gasped for breath, but seeing Wei Junchen's uncontrollable joy at the fish tail still encouraged them, and they approached him with a fishing net after a short rest.

"Catch a mermaid, and you won't have to worry about the rest of your life, haha!" The housekeeper was just like those wealthy landowners, with eyes glistening with greed.

Tao Yuanhang, who was sweating profusely, could no longer exert any strength, but when he saw the fishing net approaching Wei Junchen little by little, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and swiped towards the fishing net with the last bit of strength in his body.

"呵呵——!" The fishing net was cut wide, and the knots tied on it were all untied.

"TNND, I'm so bored! Hit me!" The housekeeper spat at Tao Yuanhang, picked up the whip in his hand and waved at him.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, a deep red bloodstain appeared on Tao Yuanhang's cheek.

The servant picked up the stick in his hand and hit Tao Yuanhang, Tao Yuanhang was right, stood up and fought with them with difficulty.

One... two... Tao Yuanhang was exhausted. He lost his strength after only defeating two servants, and was beaten by those servants immediately after.

"Go! You go!" Tao Yuanhang put his head in his hands and did not forget to ask Wei Junchen to escape.

There is at least hope for one of them to escape. If both of them are caught, there is really no way to recover.

Thinking that he still had tears to save him, Wei Junchen hurriedly crawled towards the sea.

"Want to run?" The butler picked up the harpoon in his hand, and walked to Wei Junchen's side in two or three steps. After lifting it up, he was about to plunge it into his fish's tail, only to hear a roar behind him.

"No!" Tao Yuanhang rushed out from the crowd, grasping the harpoon tightly with both hands and stabbing towards his abdomen.

The severe pain robbed Tao Yuanhang of his last trace of consciousness. Seeing that Wei Junchen was safe and sound, a pale smile appeared on the corner of Tao Yuanhang's mouth.

Wei Junchen turned around and saw Tao Yuanhang's abdomen was blood red, he felt a chill all over his body, his hands that were supporting the ground were drained of strength, and he collapsed to the ground suddenly.

"Tao Yuanhang!" Wei Junchen yelled his name heart-piercingly, and the sharp voice pierced the eardrums of the people around him.

He had never felt like this before, his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and the tearing pain invaded his consciousness and body.Seeing the anger disappearing from Tao Yuanhang's eyes little by little made him feel even more painful.
