MTL - Jade Without Fragrance-Chapter 263 one arrow

   Chapter 263 Arrow

   As Lin Hao expected, the news that the three of them were kidnapped to Wuyin Mountain by gangsters has spread.

   Originally, the General’s Mansion and the Yichun Uncle’s Mansion sent people to guard outside Wuyin Mountain, but they didn’t alert the government, but there was still a wealthy businessman’s daughter, Chi Caiyun.

  The richest man in Chi had more than a dozen concubines and gave birth to a bunch of concubines because he had enough money to support him. He had only one daughter, Chi Caiyun. It is conceivable that he really loves this daughter.

   He was so anxious when he heard that his daughter was lost, Mrs. Chi asked him to report to the official quickly. Poor Chi's richest man hesitated for a while, but his face was scratched by the wife of the main room, and he did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the government.

  Although the Lin and Zhu families did not dare to disobey the demands of the gangsters, they went into the mountains to search with great fanfare, but there were many people guarding the official road outside the mountain. The officials and the Chi family knew what was going on as soon as they went there. In this way, the news that Lin Hao, the second girl of the General's House, and Zhu Jiayu, the fourth girl of Yichun's uncle's house, were also kidnapped could not be concealed.

   In the daytime, more people rushed over, including Qi Huan and Qi Qiong brother and sister.

  The early winter morning was chilly, Qi Qiong stood beside the official road and closed Suqing's cloak.

   Although Qi Huan usually bickered with Qi Qiong, he now looked like a big brother: "Little sister, why don't you go back, it's colder than in the city, be careful of the wind and cold."

   Qi Qiong's eyes fell on the entrance to the mountain, and he shook his head gently: "Ahao was kidnapped, and my eldest brother didn't come out of the mountain all night, I'm so worried."

  There are many beasts in the deep mountains, and at night is the most dangerous time, not to mention Ah Hao who fell into the hands of the gangsters, even the elder brother who led the guards into the mountains to find people is also worrying.

  What should I do if I encounter a pack of wolves? What should I do if I encounter a tiger?

   Most of these beasts forage at night.

   "Big brother is measured and won't put himself in danger." Qi Huan patted his sister's arm, frowning and looking forward.

   The gangsters are too cunning. If they detect that someone is looking for someone in the mountains, they will kill the hostages, forcing the eldest brother to bring three guards into the mountain quietly. Although he comforted his sister like this, he was actually not worried at all.

   Suddenly Qi Huan's eyes tightened, shouting "Be careful" and dragging Qi Qiong behind him, protecting her and taking a few steps back.

  An arrow fell on the ground, although it lost its power due to the long flight distance, it still caused a lot of fright to the crowd.

   Qi Huan saw the cloth tied to the tail of the slightly trembling arrow, and took a step forward to pick up the arrow.

   "What is this?" He took off the cloth and opened it, and his expression changed when he saw the blood on it.

  The word "quick retreat" was written on the cloth strip, and a dagger was also drawn.

  The people who gathered outside the mountain came from many houses and officials, and they had to disperse after reading the cloth strips.

  No one knew how many gangsters there were, so they knew that the arrows would not be too far away, so they didn't dare to rely on the crowd to rush over to take him down. No one cared about the life and death of the gangsters, but they couldn't care less about the safety of the three girls.

  The bustling and bustling mountain has returned to the deserted place.

   At this time, Lin Hao and the three did not go well.

  The rising of the sun gave them a general direction, but the lack of water for a long time greatly affected their physical strength. In addition, they had to always pay attention to the surrounding movement. Soon Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun could not hold on.

   "Okay, no, let's take a break." Zhu Jiayu was panting as she held on to her waist.

Chi Caiyun's pretty face was bloodless, her eyes were straight and she sat on the ground, breaking the jar: "Don't run away, I told the evil thief not to kill me, I asked my father to pay 100,000 yuan, and it depends on the money. For the sake of it, he might be moved..."

   "Don't get lucky, Ah Hao said that that person won't stay alive, it must be reasonable."

  Chi Caiyun cried: "Too, what a grudge, one hundred thousand taels still can't buy a life... My father clearly said that money can make a grinder push a ghost..."

  Lin Hao and Zhu Jiayu: "..." Ling Zun really knows how to educate his children.

   "Then rest for a quarter of an hour." Lin Hao saw that the two of them couldn't run, so he had to let go.

   The three of them took a break for a cup of tea, and Lin Hao's expression changed.

   "Hide it!"

   Following Lin Hao's low voice, Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun staggered into the grass. Lin Hao happened to have a stone beside him, so they ducked and hid behind the stone.

   Following her gaze, both Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun saw the figure that could give people nightmares.

  The man was walking in this direction, and he didn't seem to be walking fast.

   That face was cold and expressionless, and his eyes were fierce like a beast that could pounce at any time.

   The three of them did not dare to let out the air, and stared at the person who was getting closer and closer without blinking.

   At this point, Lin Hao was glad that he just sat down and rested, otherwise he might have been discovered by the man.

   Judging by the man's state, he was much stronger than the three who had little energy left.

  The man got closer, the long bamboo pole swept past, and the grass that fell down was in front of him.

   Zhu Jiayu covered her mouth tightly, her hands shaking.

  Chi Caiyun simply stopped looking at the man, and his eyes shifted to Lin Hao.

   Can't see me, can't see me... The little girl repeated like a sutra in her heart.

  Lin Hao held the golden hairpin tightly, his palms sweaty.

   She has the habit of carrying a dagger for self-defense, but unfortunately the man took a lot of precautions against her, and he found her and threw it away when he got to the cave.

   Finally, the man walked over within two feet of where the three were hiding.

  Zhu Jiayu put down his hand, looking frightened.

  Chi Caiyun noticed that Lin Hao's expression changed and turned his eyes, the corners of his mouth could not help raising.

   "He's gone!" She said these words silently with her mouth, with the joy of the rest of her life on her face.

  Lin's expression froze.

   That person turned back!

   Seeing that her expression was not right, Chi Caiyun glanced in that direction, just at this moment the long bamboo pole in the man's hand swept over, as if it would fall on the person in the next moment.

   The little girl who had been acting like an ostrich didn't dare to look at it suddenly broke her senses and screamed.

   At this moment, the wind seemed to be quiet.

   "Run!" Lin Hao shouted and ran in one direction first.

  If she guessed correctly, this person's goal was originally her, and the farther she ran, the safer Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun would be.

   Sure enough, after seeing Lin Hao, the man didn't care about Zhu Jiayu, who was running away, and went straight to her.

  It was difficult to travel in the mountains, and his physical strength was exhausted. Lin Hao felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he became more and more unable to move.

   She glanced back.

   That person was only ten feet away from her, and it was only a blink of an eye to catch up.

That is--

   Almost instinctively, Lin Hao fell to the ground and cooperated.

The    man saw her fall, his expressionless face finally wavered, and his feet accelerated.

   He put all his attention on Lin Hao who fell, so he didn't feel that something was wrong until the sharp arrow came close.

   But at this time it was too late to dodge, the sharp arrow that came in anger instantly disappeared into the back of his heart, the man staggered and ran a few steps forward and fell to the ground.
