Chapter 289

In a daze, Qiao Nian remembered the time when he was captured by Qiu Yu and taken into the cave.

She also ran towards the forest without her life. At the end of the run, she didn't even know how long she had been in the forest, and finally let Xiao Heng carry her out.

She didn't want to make the same mistake again.

So, while running, she looked behind her.

Seeing that Fuwang didn't give up, she panicked a little.

The night was already dark, and soon after Qiao Nian burrowed into the forest, she realized that she couldn't see her fingers in the forest.

And the thing that worried her the most happened.

"Crack!"

A sound.

She also stepped on a bear trap!

"Fuwang! Don't come forward!" Qiao Nian exclaimed, "There are many animal traps here, and I was caught in one too!"

After hearing this, Fuwang's footsteps indeed stopped.

Perhaps thinking of his injured companion, Fuwang finally stopped chasing him and turned around to leave.

He thought that it was pitch dark here and he couldn't see the road at all. Qiao Nian stepped on the animal trap and injured his leg. The bloody smell would definitely attract wild animals.

There was no way she could return to the village alive!

Qiao Nian held her breath until she heard the footsteps disappear, then she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly.

Fortunately, it was her left leg that stepped on the bear trap.

But the board on her left leg had not been removed, and the animal trap did not hurt her.

only……

She gave it a break and tried to get the trap open, but to no avail.

Waves of coolness came over the forest, and Qiao Nian knew for the first time that a midsummer night could be so cold...

It was already Xu Shi when Chu Zhiyi came back from the mountains.

Shitou's father fell in the forest. Shitou didn't dare to leave his father alone, and he couldn't help anyone, so he could only wait for someone to rescue him.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious.

When we returned to the fence yard, the yard was dark.

It was also very quiet inside the house.

The door was closed tightly, and there was nothing strange at the door. Chu Zhiyi just thought Qiao Nian was asleep, so he scooped up water and prepared to take a bath behind the house.

Unexpectedly, when I came out of the kitchen, I smelled a hint of chicken soup.

It felt strange.

There was no fire in the kitchen today, and the chicken soup was not coming from the kitchen.

The door to the room was closed. Even if there was chicken soup in the room, it shouldn't have such a strong smell!

The tip of his nose moved slightly and he sniffed hard, and then suddenly discovered that the smell came from the door of the room.

Chicken soup was spread all over the floor.

There are still fragments of the soup bowl faintly visible.

Sensing something strange, Chu Zhiyi couldn't help but knock on the door, "Is the girl asleep?"

Inside the house, there was no response.

Today, because of the incident between Shitou and his father, almost everyone in the village was still asleep. Even if she did fall asleep, she probably wouldn't sleep so deeply.

Chu Zhiyi's heart sank, and he immediately opened the door and left, only to see that the bed in the room was indeed empty.

Feeling bad, Chu Zhiyi immediately turned around and went to Aunt Chun's house not far away, "Aunt Chun, have you seen that girl?"

Aunt Chun rushed out and said, "I didn't see it! What's wrong? The girl is missing?"

Chu Zhiyi nodded slightly, "Well, there is some spilled chicken soup at the door. Was it you who sent it?"

Aunt Chun shook her head quickly, "No! The chicken soup is already cold. I thought it was too late and it wouldn't be hot, so I planned to deliver it tomorrow!"

While speaking, Aunt Chun seemed to have thought of something. She quickly turned to look at Fuwang who was not far away, "Fuwang! You speak!"

Fuwang was already feeling guilty because of Chu Zhiyi's arrival, but when Aunt Chun shouted, he almost jumped up.

He said harshly, "I, how do I know where she went?"

Chu Zhiyi's eyes darkened, "Aunt Chun asked you about the chicken soup. She didn't say that her disappearance was related to you. You are asking for it."

Hearing this, Fuwang became even more excited, "I didn't, so don't accuse her unfairly! I have no enmity with her, so what did I do to her?"

But the more he behaves like this, the more he seems to have no silver here.

Aunt Chun was also angry. She grabbed a broom from behind the door and hit Fuwang, "You beast! Tell me where you got this person!"

Fuwang was beaten so much that he screamed and fled all over the house.

But he still said stubbornly, "I don't know! I don't know!"

But unexpectedly, he accidentally ran up to Chu Zhiyi, and Chu Zhiyi held his neck, making him unable to move for an instant.

The deep voice was tainted with a hint of sullenness, "She has an injury on her foot, and it's already dark now. If something happens and someone is killed, I will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice. I will make you pay for it with your life."

Hearing this, Fuwang was still stiff-spoken and jumped on his feet, "Brother Bai! We have known each other for so many years, and you have watched me grow up! Now you are treating me like this for a woman who appeared out of nowhere. ?”

"Crack!"

A loud slap fell on Fuwang's face.

Chu Zhiyi pinched his neck and forced him to turn his head to look at Aunt Chun, "Take a good look at yourself to see who you are worthy of!"

Fuwang was stunned.

At this moment, Aunt Chun's face was filled with tears. She had one hand on her waist and gasped for air. She was obviously very angry.

"Your mother raised you all by herself, and you want her to go to the execution ground to pick up your head? No one will care for you until you die?"

"I ask you again, where is he?"

Fuwang seemed to be defeated.

His lips trembled slightly, "She, she broke free next to the field of Daniel's house and ran into the woods. Well, it seems she stepped on a bear trap."

Hearing this, Chu Zhiyi almost immediately let go and turned around to leave.

When she heard the word "bear trap", Aunt Chun became furious again.

The broom in his hand hit Fu Wang, "You bastard, she stepped on the animal trap, and you ran away by yourself? If she was eaten by a wild beast, you also went into the mountains to feed the wild beasts!"

Aunt Chun said and hurried out.

He staggered on his feet and almost fell when he passed by Fu Wang.

Fuwang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but unexpectedly, Aunt Chun opened his hand, "Get out! I don't want your fake kindness! My Aunt Chun has never done anything bad in her life. I didn't expect to give birth to a beast who does all evil!"

After that, she stormed out.

The men in the village had just returned and probably hadn't slept yet. She had to ask them to continue looking for someone.

Chu Zhiyi strode towards the fields at the entrance of the village.

He roughly knew where the Daniel family's field was. She stepped on the animal trap. If the smell of blood spread, it would definitely attract some carnivorous prey.

He had to find her before the beast.

While running, a limping figure suddenly appeared in the night ahead.

Chu Zhiyi was stunned, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

Unexpectedly, the figure still walked towards him bit by bit.

Perhaps she recognized him, so she raised her hand high towards him, waved it, and called out, "Brother Bai!"

The delicate voice came through the dark night, with a hint of joy.
