His eyes were cold, his face smeared with blood, and he walked step by step towards Kong Weiren.
At this moment, Ye Fan seemed like a devil, terrifying.
"Who, who are you, human or ghost?"
Kong Weiren was so scared he kept retreating, his body trembling violently.
Dong Dabiao, standing beside him, said with a grim face, "He's at the end of his rope, kill him quickly."
Dong Dabiao had been observing Ye Fan and had remained silent until now, finally giving the order.
As he gave the command, more than a dozen villagers from Beicun wielding clubs rushed towards Ye Fan.
The battle had been going on for nearly twenty minutes, and even if Ye Fan were made of iron, he was feeling exhausted.
His steps were a little unsteady, his feet heavy, and his hands felt sore.
Shen Bao on the other side was in an even worse state, completely on the defensive, dodging as much as possible, but even so, he had suffered no small injuries.
Seeing this, Ye Fan decisively made up his mind: he couldn't linger, he had to withdraw as soon as possible.
The other side still had fresh troops, while they were already extremely tired. If they continued fighting, the only outcome would be to be worn down to death.
The next moment, Ye Fan gathered all his strength and rushed towards Shen Bao.
"Let's charge out together, don't linger."
Ye Fan said coldly, and Shen Bao nodded heavily, punching fiercely to knock down a villager.
The two combined, like a sharp sword, instantly broke open a path and galloped out of the village.
Seeing the two of them trying to escape, Kong Weiren and Dong Dabiao became furious: "Chase them, even to the ends of the earth, you must capture them. If they are not hacked into a thousand pieces, my hatred will not be appeased."
Originally, Kong Weiren felt a sense of accomplishment when he captured people from the East Village, finally being able to hold his head high.
But he never expected that less than a day later, his head would be smashed. How could he not be enraged?
Dong Dabiao also quickly ordered pursuit.
Infuriated!
Ye Fan and Shen Bao exerted their legs, running at incredible speed. In just over ten breaths, they had already rushed out of Nancun.
Along the way, they encountered a few villagers who tried to stop them, but they were easily dealt with.
The two were like arrows released from a bow, quickly disappearing into the night.
...
On the other side, Shen Tianyin hid in the Xu family's house, holding a stick tightly, her mind highly concentrated, constantly paying attention to the movements outside.
Soon, the sound of chaotic footsteps approached, causing Shen Tianyin's body to tremble slightly, and she gripped the stick even tighter.
"Go in and check, in case there are any fish that slipped through the net."
A man's rough voice came.
Then, several figures walked in under the moonlight.
Shen Tianyin was hiding behind the door of the main house. As soon as these people entered, they would find him.
As these people searched outside and then turned their gaze to the house, walking slowly, Shen Tianyin's heart pounded violently, almost letting out a surprised cry.
Several people pushed open the door, searching around, getting closer and closer.
At this moment, a hand suddenly covered Shen Tianyin's mouth.
"Don't make a sound, come with me."
A woman's voice came, causing Shen Tianyin's tensed body to instantly go limp.
Helplessly, the woman carried Shen Tianyin, trying not to make any sound, and slowly walked towards the inner room. Then she moved a table, and there was an entrance here.
Dragging Shen Tianyin directly into the tunnel, she then pulled the table back to its original position, leaving no trace.
"Sister Qiao?"
Seeing the other person's face clearly, Shen Tianyin exclaimed in surprise.
That's right, it was Qiao Ping who saved Shen Tianyin in the crisis.
It turned out that yesterday, Nancun and Beicun received news and attacked Dongcun. In the chaos, Qiao Ping hid in the tunnel and thus survived.
Coincidentally, she came out tonight to check the situation and ran into Shen Tianyin.
"This is not a place to talk, come with me, there are still people inside."
The two walked quickly. When they reached the basement, they saw Old Lei and Old Ji sitting around a table drinking ginger soup.
After this ordeal, their already aged bodies could barely hold on. If Ye Fan had not rescued them in time, they would have collapsed on their own without anyone else needing to act.
Seeing the two of them, Shen Tianyin's eyes lit up with joy.
"Old Ji, you're back? Where are Ye Fan and my second brother? They didn't come back?"
Old Ji explained the whole story to Shen Tianyin in detail, finally informing him that Ye Fan had gone to meet Shen Bao.
Shen Tianyin's body trembled a few times, and he fell backward.
Fortunately, Qiao Ping caught him in time.
"Second Miss, with Brother Ye and Second Young Master's skills, they should be fine. They must have encountered something and got held up. I believe they will be back soon."
Although he himself was not sure, he could only comfort Shen Tianyin in this way.
Biting her lips, her eyes red, tears flowed uncontrollably.
"They must not be hurt, they absolutely cannot be hurt."
...
That night, almost the entire Thousand Buddha Mountain was in chaos. All the villagers of Nancun and Beicun were mobilized to search for Ye Fan and Shen Bao.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Shen Bao were running at full speed towards Dongcun.
Just as they were about to enter the village, Ye Fan suddenly pulled Shen Bao.
"There are people ahead."
He said in a low voice, and then the two bent down and advanced slowly.
"No sign of anyone, let's go back. In the middle of the night, making us do this kind of work, they really treat me like a shrimp soldier or crab general?"
The rough man from before said angrily.
Then, several people walked out of the yard and were about to leave the village.
"What should we do? Should we kill them all?"
Shen Bao's face was pale, and blood was constantly flowing from his wounds.
Ye Fan shook his head: "As long as we are not discovered, we will let them leave. Since they were ordered to come here to investigate, if they don't report back, this place will definitely be considered a suspect. At that time, we won't even have a place to stay."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Shen Bao could only nod in agreement.
Indeed, what they needed most now was to recover from their injuries. If they were besieged again, they would likely have only death as their fate.
Several people strode past them, not even glancing at them.
Only after these people were far away and out of sight did Ye Fan and Shen Bao get up from the roadside grass and quickly walk into Dongcun.
In the basement, as time passed, the emotions of the few people became more and more suppressed, and their hearts grew more anxious.
"Why aren't they back yet? It's been two hours. Could they have encountered danger?"
Shen Tianyin muttered anxiously, pacing back and forth in the basement restlessly.
Anxiety filled his cheeks, and he didn't know where to put his hands, constantly fidgeting.
"Why don't I go out and take a look? Waiting here is not a solution. If they are in danger, I can help them."
Qiao Ping said in a deep voice.
"No, it's too dangerous outside. Those people could come at any time. If they are discovered, there will be no way back."
Shen Tianyin quickly stopped Qiao Ping.
Just then, heavy footsteps sounded, causing all four of them to stand up, looking vigilantly at the entrance to the basement.
"Who?"
Shen Tianyin asked in a low voice.
"It's us."
Ye Fan replied, and then walked in, supporting Shen Bao.
Seeing the two covered in blood and stumbling as they entered, Shen Tianyin quickly hurried forward.
"How did this happen? Why are you injured?"
