Chapter 13 Crisis
The girl's appearance bore a resemblance to the corpse they had encountered on the mountain that day.
He had picked up his Starfire Sword from a corpse.
The man died from severe injuries, and his clothes and appearance suggested he was from a wealthy family. Although the girl looked miserable, she couldn't hide her air of wealth.
It was clearly abnormal for a rich girl to be found naked and disheveled in a mountain stream in the dead of winter.
If the girl was being chased and fled to this place in a panic, then everything would be easier to explain.
"Do you...do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten for days!"
"Yes, there's some warm water!"
Seeing that the girl had lowered her guard, Wang Yuan slowly stepped forward and handed her the dried fruit he had taken from the squirrel hole. When he saw that the girl couldn't open it, he carefully cracked open a few more dried fruits for her.
The girl took it, turned around, and slowly began to eat.
Although she was very hungry, she ate with great elegance, which suggests she has a good family upbringing.
As she ate, the girl's shoulders twitched, and she began to cry uncontrollably.
Wang Yuan looked around. They were near the hot spring, and the cave blocked the cold wind, so it wasn't too cold. Otherwise, the girl would probably have frozen to death here long ago.
"This young lady doesn't seem to be from the mountains; why has she ended up here?"
After the girl calmed down, Wang Yuan, at Wang Tiejun's prompting, asked softly.
"Thank you very much, my benefactor. May I ask your name?"
"A little food is nothing."
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "My name is Wang Yuan, and these two are Uncle Bu, Wang Tiejun and Wang Youtian. We are hunters from Wangjiazhai nearby, and we came up the mountain today to look for the villagers who went missing a few days ago."
Bai Wenjin met his three benefactors.
The girl slowly stood up, a look of pain on her face. Only then did Wang Yuan realize that her right leg was clearly injured, probably fractured.
"Young lady, you're injured, no need for such formalities!"
"I accompanied my father to Luoyang to visit relatives, but we encountered bandits on the way and got separated from our group. I wandered into this mountain and accidentally fell down. Fortunately, I met you three, otherwise I would have starved to death here. If you three benefactors can escort me back to Luoyang, I, Wen Jin, will surely repay your kindness."
"You're too kind, young lady. We'll take care of this."
"Yes, there are officials from the Demon Slayer Bureau in the village. When they return to the city, we can ask them to take the girl with them."
With a few words, Wang Youtian and Wang Tiejun settled the matter. Then, Wang Youtian looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, you are in charge of taking care of Miss Bai."
"I?"
"Otherwise, why would we, two old men, carry him?"
Wang Youtian winked at Wang Yuan and said, "Even if we were willing, Miss Bai might not be."
Bai Wenjin's pretty face flushed slightly, as if she was afraid that Wang Yuan would not agree and that she would fall into the hands of Wang Youtian and his companion. She quickly said, "Please, Brother Yuan."
"This woman isn't telling the truth!"
Wang Yuan subtly observed Bai Wenjin for a few moments. She also had injuries on her palms, likely from being pulled by vines, and her fingers were blistered. Considering the terrain, Wang Yuan could roughly guess that she hadn't fallen into the ravine accidentally, but had crawled in herself.
They must have been fleeing in such a hurry that they got lost, were freezing and hungry, and only ventured into the mountain stream when they saw a hot spring in the mountain valley.
Otherwise, even if they weren't eaten by wild animals, they would have frozen to death.
"It's cold up there, young lady, please put on this animal skin cloak!"
Wang Yuan took off his cloak and handed it to Bai Wenjin, then helped her up and squatted down slightly.
Bai Wenjin put on the cloak, and immediately felt much warmer. The cloak had a scent that was neither pleasant nor unpleasant.
She looked down at Wang Yuan's somewhat thin back, hesitated slightly, and then leaned over.
Wang Yuan slowly rose to his feet, supporting Bai Wenjin's thighs with both hands.
Bai Wenjin was very light, at least that's what Wang Yuan thought.
However, she had a very attractive figure, with two soft and elastic mounds on her back, and firm thigh muscles that seemed to allow one to feel the smoothness of her skin even through her brocade clothes.
This physical body of his was that of a young man full of vigor and blood, and for a moment his mind was wandering!
If Wang Yuan was like this, then Bai Wenjin was even more so.
This was the first time in her life that she had ever been so close to a man of the same age.
She had just been worried that Wang Yuan's small frame would have some difficulty carrying her, but once she had her on his back, she felt that Wang Yuan's back was so strong, as if he possessed a powerful strength that allowed him to carry her with ease, and his breathing did not change at all.
The power contained within Wang Yuan's body made her feel very at ease.
His slightly stiff body completely relaxed, and he put all his weight on Wang Yuan.
"Let's go, let's go up first!"
Wang Youtian glanced at Wang Yuan's crotch, a meaningful smile appearing in his eyes, and walked forward first.
Wang Yuan looked slightly embarrassed and silently followed behind.
They hadn't gone far when Wang Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at the cliff not far away. Just where they had lowered the rope, a figure was rapidly sliding down it with fluid movements, displaying remarkable skill.
"Wang Hu!"
Wang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly became wary.
"Hey, someone's coming down, looks like Commander Wang!"
"A real person!"
As they were talking, Wang Hu landed and ran towards them at high speed.
"Have you found Lao Liang and the others?"
Wang Hu's gaze swept over the three of them and landed on Bai Wenjin, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"He knows Bai Wenjin!"
Wang Yuan noticed the subtle change in Wang Hu's expression and quickly confirmed this fact in his mind.
"It's not Lao Liang and his men, it's a wealthy young lady who's fallen on hard times!"
"What happened?"
"They said they were going to visit relatives in Luocheng, but they encountered bandits on the way. I suspect it was those bastards from White Horse Mountain who caused it. Let's take them out, and then have the officials from the Demon Slayer Bureau take them to Luocheng along the way."
"Alright!"
Wang Hu nodded and walked naturally toward Wang Yuan. As he passed Wang Youtian and the other man, he suddenly launched an attack, throwing two punches that landed on their chests.
With two loud thuds, the two men were sent flying backward, their chests caved in, and fragments of their internal organs gushed from their mouths. By the time they hit the ground, they were already bleeding from all seven orifices and had died a violent death.
All of this happened too fast. Even though Wang Yuan was wary of Wang Jiazhai, he never expected him to take a life. This man was the pillar of Wang Jiazhai, the hero in everyone's hearts who protected the village.
Wang Yuan knew he was looking for the Starfire Sword, but he never expected him to kill someone.
what……
Bai Wenjin exclaimed in surprise, tightening his arms around Wang Yuan's neck, his body trembling slightly, burying his head in Wang Yuan's neck, as if only in this way could he feel a trace of warmth.
At the same time, on a mountain peak not far from Black Wind Ridge, Tiger Taoist's gaze swept toward the cave where Hu Xiao and the others were hiding.
Black Bear must die. Having tasted the flavor of humans, Black Bear will surely eat people again.
Tiger Taoist didn't want to start a war with the demon race at this time, so he had no choice but to agree to Madam Chun's suggestion. Coincidentally, Black Bear had also eaten the bandits from White Horse Mountain, and Hu Xiao not only met the requirements but also had the strength to kill Black Bear.
"Um!"
Suddenly, Tiger Taoist sensed something and turned to look in the direction of the mountain stream.
"The art of creating clones! The Bai family, a family that accumulates good deeds and virtues, cannot stand by and watch someone die!"
