Baisu was as light as a swallow. She ran up to Lin Mengya in a few steps and tried to hold her hand to look her up and down.
Lin Mengya waved her injured hand at her and dodged Baisu's touch.
"Your hand!"
Baisu clenched her teeth when she saw that Lin Mengya was injured.
"I'm fine. How's the situation down there?"
Lin Mengya's body had always recovered well. Although the wound on her hand was a little deep, it would not cause too much trouble.
"A lot of people did come, but Jin's attitude doesn't seem quite right. Later, Childe An also came up to them. I saw that they could still hold on, so I came up to you immediately. "
Lin Mengya nodded. She had a lot of questions in her mind.
"Do they seem to know how to deal with these living puppets?"
Baisu was stunned, then nodded in response.
"Master, could this be a ruse by them?"
Previously, An Zichen had clearly told Ah Jin that these living puppets had been cultivated by someone else.
If that was the case, how could they be so skillful?
"Do you remember the broken piece of jade I gave you when we got out of the underground cave?"
Baisu immediately took it out from her purse and carefully put it in Lin Mengya's hand.
Lin Mengya looked at it over and over again. Finally, she snorted coldly.
"Let's go and see how they are now."
Baisu immediately led the way. Lin Mengya was thinking about the jade piece when she felt a slight coldness wrapped around her ankle.
Before she could react, the little snake of the flower ghost had wrapped around her wrist.
Lin Mengya turned around and looked at the dead insects on the ground. It seemed that this little thing was the final winner.
Lin Mengya smelled the faint fragrance of the flower ghost, which seemed to hide a leisurely coldness.
Looking at her clothes, which were stained with mud and blood, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, since this flower ghost was raised with her blood, it would naturally listen to her.
Lin Mengya gathered her sleeves and followed Baisu down the mountain.
The battle at the foot of the mountain had also come to an end. Dozens of corpses lay crisscrossed in the forest.
Just a few steps away, An Zichen and Ah Jin stood in a sorry state, panting heavily.
Even after seeing Lin Mengya, he could only nod slightly to greet her.
She looked up at the corpses. She had experienced the methods of the Xin family, so she naturally knew that those people were trained to kill.
Now that they were all dead, it must be a kind of release.
An Zichen and Ah Jin were already exhausted. They no longer had the strength to fight.
Lin Mengya's mind raced for a while before she finally tossed the jade pendant she had found on the man in black to An Zichen.
"Miss Lin, what is the meaning of this?"
An Zichen caught the jade pendant and looked up. He felt that Lin Mengya's attitude seemed to be a little different from before.
Over the past few days, the relationship between them could be considered harmonious.
"I took this from one of the people who attacked me. I think you two should be able to get to know each other. "
Lin Mengya pulled up her sleeves and said calmly.
If this was a ruse, then she would not believe a word of what An Zichen had said before.
Since that was the case, she would not foolishly follow them to Wei State. Perhaps, these were all fabricated to deceive her into trusting him.
But over the past few days, she had tried to sound him out with her words.
Every word An Zichen said was without any loopholes, so she believed him.
But now, she could only put this trust aside for the time being.
She fixed her eyes on the two men. She wanted a reasonable explanation.
"This is, this is the green jade pendant of the An family. Only the inner members of the An family can wear it. How could it be … "
An Zichen suddenly fell silent. Presumably, he'd also discovered that something was amiss.
"I, I need an explanation."
She looked at An Zichen. Her expression did not change, but it made An Zichen's heart slightly tense.
Holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, An Zichen's mind went round and round. In the end, he could only think of the answer that he did not want to believe.
"I will definitely investigate this matter. But Miss Lin, please believe in my sincerity. "
"Third Brother, could it be someone from Fourth Uncle's side?"
Jin's extremely soft voice fell into her ears.
Lin Mengya remained calm and pretended that she had heard nothing.
An Zichen did not show a guilty expression. Instead, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand thoughtfully. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth to reply.
"It's hard to say."
An Zichen was considered cautious in this aspect. So even if he had doubts, he would not say anything before he was sure.
Lin Mengya still had doubts in her heart. But if it was really a ruse, they should deny it.
But now, he agreed without saying a word, which surprised Lin Mengya a little.
"I can believe you for the time being. But if this thing really came from the An family, I'm afraid you will be in more trouble than me. I don't mind telling you the truth. I, Lin Mengya, am indeed not very capable, but I will not let anyone bully me. If you want to kill me, you have to be prepared to pay with your life. "
Now, the Flower Ghost was extraordinary.
And thanks to her physique, those poisonous insects and poisons that could kill people invisibly were completely useless against her.
Previously, it was because she did not react in time. Now, she would not show mercy to anyone.
"Thank you, Miss Lin."
An Zichen regained some strength, but still forced himself to bow to her.
The four of them walked slowly to the foot of the mountain. Their horse carriage had been burnt to a crisp. It seemed that they could only walk to the city before the sky turned dark.
However, from dawn to dusk, the four of them only found a relatively lively village.
Baisu went to talk to them and told them that Lin Mengya and An Zichen were a pair of brother and sister who came out to have fun. They encountered bandits on the way and managed to escape with great difficulty.
The people in the village were simple and honest. Moreover, Baisu took out an ingot of silver as a foil.
Soon, the four of them were welcomed into the courtyard by Widow Wang.
"Master, Miss, I'm the only one in my family. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't stand on ceremony with me."
After receiving the silver, Widow Wang's face was also full of joy.
Lin Mengya entered the door and looked around. Although the courtyard was not big, it was clean and tidy.
Widow Wang's eyes shone with shrewdness, but her expression was also open and frank, without the slightest bit of malicious intent.
Her clothes were simple, and she spoke quickly. It seemed that she was a woman who lived a stable life.
"Thank you, Elder Sister-in-law."
She was beautiful and spoke in a soft and gentle voice. Widow Wang liked her, so she did her best to do things.
Widow Wang brought the two girls to the main room and boiled a lot of hot water for them to wash up.
After changing into a clean and fresh set of clothes, Widow Wang finished preparing the meal.
"Ladies, I'm sorry that you have to wear the clothes I wore when I was young. There are very few young girls in our village. You came in a hurry, so I didn't want to disturb you. "
Widow Wang looked a little embarrassed. She thought that it was because she had received money from them.
Lin Mengya did not mind and shook her head.
She wanted to buy some ordinary clothes made of coarse cloth to avoid attracting attention.
At this moment, An Zichen and Ah Jin walked out of the wing room.
The four of them looked at each other and couldn't help smiling.
They didn't look like princes or nobles at all. They looked more like youngsters in the village.
After the simple meal, Widow Wang cleaned up in the kitchen. The four of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.
After what happened in the day, Lin Mengya was wary of An Zichen. But she still wanted to know more about Weiguo.
But she quickly discovered that An Zichen told her everything he knew about the An Family. He told her everything he knew.
But once she mentioned the Gong Family, both An Zichen and Ah Jin's attitude became very subtle.
Either he changed the topic, or he changed the topic.
Lin Mengya was now more and more curious about this mysterious Gong Family.
An Zichen must have noticed it too. He cleared his throat and asked.
"If Miss Lin returns to the Gong Family, I think you will have to change your name."
Lin Mengya hesitated for a few seconds and shook her head firmly.
"My surname is Lin. I will always be Lin Mengya."
The reason why she followed An Zichen and Ah Jin back to the Gong Family was not to take charge of the Gong Family and become the head of the family.
Her goal had never changed. She just wanted to be with the people she cared about.
An Zichen did not try to persuade her. He thought hard for a while and then said in a low voice.
"Actually, it's not a bad thing for you to return to the Gong Family."
"Third Brother!"
Ah Jin hurriedly called out to him and shook her head at him.
An Zichen wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and excused himself. Then he stood up and went back to their room with Ah Jin.
"Master, it's getting late. You should go to bed."
In just one night, the wound on Lin Mengya's hand had formed a thin blood scab.
Bai Su burned the cloth she used, mixed it with the powder, and buried it in the soil.
After bandaging her hand, the two of them lay side by side in the inner room of the main room of Widow Wang's house.
At night, there was no other light source except the moon.
Lin Mengya closed her eyes, but she could not fall asleep.
"Master, are you asleep?"
Baisu called her softly. Lin Mengya replied with a word slowly.
After swaying in the horse carriage for so many nights, she was not sleepy at all.
"I always feel that An Zichen is not a bad person. But today, I saw at the foot of the mountain that they clearly know how to deal with those living puppets. So I feel a little uneasy. "
Baisu was supposed to keep watch for Lin Mengya at night.
