On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2008 Rescued

Huo Changhe's words were calm, but they carried an unquestionable command.

Zhou Lie's heart was pounding.

Just let them die right away? This person is so arrogant!

But I just feel that he can do what he says.

……

Su Shengsheng looked around. This was her first time on the island, and everything she saw was new.

However, what surprised her the most were the people behind Yan Ruyu.

These people walked with their knees slightly bent, and their footsteps made almost no sound on the rotten leaves. Just now, when they passed a clump of thorny wild roses, the man in the front team just pinched the flower branch with two fingers and twisted it gently, and the half-man-high bushes quietly parted to the sides without even a petal falling.

Obviously not an ordinary person.

The people under Su Zhenhai are quite capable, but compared with the people in front of him, the gap is quite large.

This should be Huo Changhe's man.

"Young General," Su Shengsheng took a half step forward and asked Yan Ruyu in a low voice, "Where on the island are we going?"

Yan Ruyu didn't stop, her eyes swept across the intertwined shadows of the trees in front of her, and she turned her head to look at her when she heard the words.

The light and shadows filtered through the branches and fell on her face, making her eyes appear surprisingly bright. "We don't know yet. Let's look for clues."

Yan Ruyu suddenly raised her hand to stop, pointing her finger diagonally upwards.

Su Shengsheng looked up in the direction she was looking at, and saw a black-feathered starling sitting on a branch, tilting its head to preen its feathers. Seeing someone looking at it, it flapped its wings and flew deeper into the tree, leaving behind a few crisp bird calls.

"Follow it." Yan Ruyu's voice was soft, but filled with unquestionable certainty.

Su Shengsheng's heart trembled. Looking at the direction where the starling disappeared, he suddenly understood.

These people are Huo Changhe's capable subordinates. Even the birds are so unusual. Those people under my father are nothing in front of them.

She always thought that her father's fleet was running rampant in this area, but today she finally realized that there are always people better than you.

At the same time, in the small dilapidated woodshed on the island, Mu Wan was leaning on the window lattice and looking out.

There was a hole in the window paper, and I could see the gray sky outside, without even a bird flying.

"Why does it feel so quiet?" She turned to look at the silver ingot lying on the haystack, frowning. "Just now I could hear a few voices talking, but now there's not even the sound of footsteps."

Yinding half-closed his eyes, tapping his knees with his fingers. He scoffed at the words, "It's better that they're gone. Those people were staring at us like meat on a chopping block before. Now that they're gone, it's peaceful."

He thought, if he guessed correctly, some "adult" must have had an important problem and ran over to take care of it.

Mu Xiao sat aside, twisting the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and asked softly, "But...but aren't you afraid that they are going to kill us?"

She thought of the ferocious looks of those people before, and her voice trembled a little.

Yin Ding finally opened his eyes and looked at Mu Xiao with a helpless look in his eyes: "There's no point in being afraid. This place is surrounded by water, and we don't have oars. Can we really fly away with wings?"

He paused, then added, "Besides, if they really wanted to kill us, they wouldn't have to evacuate everyone. They could just come in and do it."

Mu Wan bit her lip and said nothing, then turned to look out the window.

The wind whistled across the broken roof of the woodshed, making a whining sound, which made the surrounding silence seem even more terrifying. She always felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Just as he was saying this, Mu Xiao suddenly leaned closer to Mu Wan, glancing nervously towards the door: "Listen..."

Yinding's fingers, which were tapping on his knees, suddenly stopped and he sat up straight in an instant.

There were very light footsteps coming from outside the door. They didn't sound like those rough-handed men before, but more like... a cat stepping on cotton. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.

The door of the woodshed was ajar, and several dark shadows could be seen passing through the gap, as fast as the wind.

Yinding narrowed his eyes, slowly moved behind the door, and his fingers quietly touched a broken piece of firewood in the corner of the wall.

As soon as he reached the door, a black shadow flew in and landed on Yinding's shoulder.

Yinding breathed a sigh of relief, looked outside again, and saw a secret guard.

And there is Yan Ruyu behind.

Although Yan Ruyu had changed her appearance, he could still tell.

Yinding was overjoyed, he never expected that it was the princess!

But he soon saw Yan Ruyu's expression and changed his face, so he knew he couldn't call her directly.

Yan Ruyu came forward and said calmly, "How could you be so careless and get caught? If Master Ba hadn't asked me to save you, you would have died here."

Yinding's eyes turned and he understood.

"Thank you, Master Ba, thank you, Master Ba!"

Yinding followed Yan Ruyu out, his words of thanks never stopping: "Eighth Master, you don't know how difficult that group of people are. They set a trap to trap me on the island. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have died here sooner or later. Eighth Master, I will remember this kindness of yours for the rest of my life."

Yan Ruyu walked in front. Yin Ding wanted to say something else when he heard a very soft call from behind: "Hero Yin."

He paused and turned around, only to see Mu Xiao standing there, his fingers tightly twisting the corner of his clothes, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage to speak.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the eaves onto her face, making her timidity stand out even more.

"What's wrong?" Yinding took two steps forward.

Mu Xiao timidly glanced at Yan Ruyu's back, then quickly fell back on Yin Ding: "I... I just want to say thank you."

Just as Yinding was about to wave his hand, he suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Yan Ruyu, and said with a bit of earnestness in his tone: "I rescued this girl in the cave.

Her family has suffered a disaster, and she is alone and helpless. She is really pitiful. Do you think... can you take her with you?"

Before Yan Ruyu responded, Mu Xiao immediately took a half step forward and said in a soft but clear voice, "I can do the job.

I have learned how to wash clothes, cook, mend clothes, chop wood and fetch water. I will never cause you any trouble. I only ask that you take me in."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, but she tried hard not to cry, and just straightened her back a little.

Yan Ruyu stopped and turned around slowly.

Her gaze swept across Mu Xiao's collar, then moved up to her clenched fingertips that were white, and finally stopped at her watery eyes.

After a moment, she nodded almost imperceptibly: "Take it with you."

Mu Xiao pursed his lips hard to prevent tears from falling, and bowed deeply to Yan Ruyu: "Thank you."

Yinding breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Follow me, I won't treat you unfairly."

As the group walked forward, Su Shengsheng's eyes flicked around to Mu Xiao. "It's too dangerous for a girl to be out alone. Where are you from?"

When Mu Xiao heard this, the color on his face instantly faded. His lips moved but he didn't say a word.

Her eyes turned red, and big tears rolled down her cheeks, hitting her clothes and leaving small wet marks.
