She had to quickly inform Yuan Jing of the news she had just learned.

Lin Chujiu cursed secretly in his heart: "Lin Xueyuan is truly worthy of being a member of the Lin family. Just like my good grandma, she is a cunning and cunning fellow."

She silently made a note in her mind and became more wary of this cunning sister-in-law.

The most important thing now is the back mountain.

She needed to get down there and check it out as soon as possible to see if anything was wrong.

"Your sword is still in the mountain behind the back mountain!"

Knowing this news, Yuan Jing's mood instantly became heavy.

His brows were deep, and there was a hint of coldness in his expression.

"What are your plans if they find the sword?" Yuan Jing was silent for a while, but I could feel the killing intent in his eyes.

Lin Chujiu thought for a while, and then made up his mind: "I plan to go to the back mountain!"

"no!"

Yuan Jing immediately retorted: "It's too risky for you to go alone. If they find out, they will definitely doubt us even more. By then, they may..."

"Don't worry, Yuan Jing." Lin Chujiu interrupted his worries, "If I dare to go, I must have already thought of a way out. Just trust me!"

Yuan Jing still wanted to say something, but Lin Chujiu had already picked up the small backpack and jumped onto the road like a monkey.

When she went out, she glanced back. Yuan Jing's worried eyes were like two little stars. She smiled helplessly and said, "Yuan Jing, I will come back safely, so just take good care of me." Brothers and sisters."

Then, she walked out of the yard and climbed up the mountain without looking back.

While Lin Chujiu was collecting firewood, he cautiously approached the direction in his memory.

Not long after, she heard waves of voices. But at this time, Lin Chujiu did not dare to act rashly. Each of those people was highly skilled in martial arts, with ears in all directions and eyes in all directions.

She couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be discovered if she got close. Therefore, she decided to wait patiently for the opportunity before approaching quietly.

"Come on, I'll just sit back and wait."

She made a quick decision, left that place silently, walked on the only way to the bottom of the mountain, collected firewood leisurely, and filled her backpack in a short time. Even if they saw it, this basket of firewood was evidence of Lin Chujiu's innocence.

As expected, Lin Chujiu waited and waited. After about half an hour, the group of people went down the mountain. Lin Chujiu stood at a distance and saw clearly what they were holding - a sword with blood stains still on it.

So many days have passed, and the wolf that Yuan Jing chopped down must have been eaten clean by his companions, with only the blood stains on the ground still remaining.

"It seems that he struggled with all his strength, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being bitten by wolves. For him, this way of death can be regarded as a happy death."

"No human bones were found nearby, only wolf bones. If you want to live, you must see a human, if you die, you must see a corpse. Have you forgotten what the master told you?"

The leading man said coldly.

Scarface was a little dissatisfied and retorted: "Those bones have been bitten to pieces. How can you tell whether they are wolf bones or human bones? I think that if he is so seriously injured, he can still survive if he encounters a pack of wolves." If you survive, that is truly a manifestation of the Bodhisattva!"

Although these words are a bit rough, the logic is not rough.

From an ordinary person's perspective, who would have thought that Yuan Jing would be lucky enough to meet Lin Chujiu and get that glimmer of hope?

If he hadn't met her and been hidden in the space by her, he would probably have become a dead soul in the belly of hungry wolves. "Boss, that's the girl." Lin Chujiu's keen observation skills spotted a girl with a basket full of firewood.

"She's just a country girl. She probably just came here to collect some firewood. Don't worry about her." The leading man looked dismissively and didn't take Lin Chujiu seriously at all.

They planned to go back and report to their master, claiming that the man was completely dead and that even his bones could not be found.

A group of them left triumphantly, while Lin Chujiu waited for a while, and then slowly stood up, staring in the direction they were going, without relaxing in his eyes.

After confirming that the group of people had left the village, Lin Chujiu returned to the old house.

"They have left." Although Lin Chujiu said this, Yuan Jing did not look relaxed.

Neither of them spoke, but they both knew in their hearts that if that group of people stayed in Guishan Town, the crisis would be far from over.

The next day, Lin Chujiu took peanuts to Chunfeng Tower to deliver the goods. I didn't ask Yuan Jing to go with them, because if that group of people were in the town, they might encounter them if I took Yuan Jing there, and it would be easy for an accident to happen.

"Boss, these are today's peanuts."

Lin Chujiu handed the peanuts to shopkeeper Qian and glanced at the hall, seemingly looking for something casually.

"Thank you very much, Miss Lin."

Shopkeeper Qian waved his hand and called the waiter, "Take these peanuts to the kitchen."

"Miss Lin, I see you must be tired after walking back from town. Come, have a sip of hot tea and calm down."

How could Lin Chujiu be in the mood to drink tea? She looked at shopkeeper Qian and asked directly: "Boss, I won't drink tea anymore. I have a question for you. Those distinguished guests from yesterday, will they still be there tonight?" Are you staying at the inn?"

Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "They stayed one night yesterday and left this morning. They must have left the city by now."

Shopkeeper Qian's words have always been trustworthy.

When Lin Chujiu heard this, he felt at ease.

Although the shopkeeper warned her to be careful and said that they might have left the town, Lin Chujiu still did not completely let go of her vigilance.

Therefore, for several days in a row, she went to work in person, leaving Yuan Jing at home and not letting him go out.

After about a week, Lin Chujiu thought that he should be able to call Yuan Jing to deliver the goods together. Nothing happened, so they must have left.

The peanuts she delivers alone are always limited. For Chunfeng Tower, where the flow of people is increasing rapidly, the supply of peanuts is simply in short supply.

She had just taken a few steps out of Chunfeng Tower when she heard a hesitant voice.

"Nine children?"

Lin Chujiu's eyes widened and she looked intently at the man standing in front of her, who was dressed in green and looked elegant.

The memory was like an opened picture scroll, displayed in her mind page by page. She finally remembered that this was the uncle in the original owner's memory - Lin Wenguang.

"Niece, why are you here?" Lin Wenguang looked at the plaque of Chunfeng Tower in surprise, thinking that this was not a place where Lin Zhang would come.

He knew Mrs. Lin Zhang's personality. She would never come all the way to town just to eat in a restaurant. And he himself was invited several times by his classmates, but it was hard to refuse the hospitality.
