C33

The small courtyard he spent the rest of his life in was practically abandoned. The grass grew vigorously within the small courtyard, and spiderwebs covered the area under the eaves. If it weren't for the plants that had been stepped on, Su Mu would have suspected whether anyone had ever lived here before.

After entering the room, Su Mu didn't feel any human presence. He didn't even wipe away the dust on the table.

"Did you lie to us for the rest of your life? This doesn't seem like a place for humans." Su Mu's hand rubbed against the table with a thick layer of dust as he asked in a doubtful tone.

Lin Yi looked at the blanket and said, "It's hard to say, who knows what he's hiding."

Angele opened the lid of the tea pot on the table. There were still some leftover tea in the pot.

Lin Yi then took out a bloodstained shirt from the corner. There weren't many bloodstains, so he placed it in twos and threes on his chest.

Su Mu's eyes scanned every inch of the room, but he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

"Let's go, it seems we won't be able to get any leads." Lin Yi pushed Su Mu out of the room.

Su Mu suddenly heard a dog bark and subconsciously held his breath to listen. However, the dog only barked, "Did you hear a dog bark?"

Lin Yi shook his head and asked with concern, "Have you been scared by a dog recently?"

"I must be hallucinating." Su Mu laughed because he was too sensitive. "Where is Old Huang and the others?"

"I saw him point in this direction, but there are only these few houses, it doesn't seem like the place where Boss Huang lives." Lin Yi didn't understand either. According to the tea shop owner, this Boss Huang should be a rich and idle person. How could he possibly live in these low houses?

"This forest …" Su Mu looked at the forest planted in the afternoon and felt a little suspicious.

"No, your legs are inconvenient, we can't get through the forest." Lin Yi could see that Su Mu's heart was moved, but he didn't dare to carelessly try out her safety.

"Just leave me here, just take a look for yourself." Su Mu said.

Lin Yi still refused, "The risk is too great."

Lin Yi pushed Su Mu outside. Su Mu knew that Lin Yi was doing this for her safety, so he did not cause any trouble.

Just as he was about to exit the door, Lin Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks. It was unknown when the gate to the courtyard had closed. The wooden door that had experienced the wind and rain seemed as if it could collapse at any time.

"What's wrong?" Su Mu didn't understand.

"There's someone outside." Lin Yi whispered, "You go back inside."

Although Su Mu found that there was someone outside, she believed in Lin Yi's judgement. If she stayed here, she would only be a burden. Thus, she pushed her wheelchair away from the door.

Seeing Su Mu walk far away, Lin Yi took out a sword from his waist. Although the Jade Bone Fan could fool people, its killing power was too weak. The sword wind slashed at the wooden door, causing it to collapse.

Lin Yi was wrong. There was no one outside, only a group of dogs. A group of red-eyed, salivating dogs. Each of them was very strong and wild.

Lin Yi kicked the pork meat on the ground, but the dogs remained unmoved. Instead, they seemed to have angered them as they swarmed over in a flash.

The dog was a domesticated wolf, but although the dog looked like a dog, it was no different from a wolf.

Lin Yi could not remember exactly how many dogs he had killed. His eyes were bloodshot, but the dog seemed to be endless.

Su Mu gritted his teeth as he watched Lin Yi's body gradually turn red. Seeing the dog tear off his sleeves, he could have retreated, but he didn't dare to. He was afraid that the dog would turn around and attack Su Mu.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun gradually set. The afterglow of the sun illuminated everything in the courtyard with a layer of orange light. The crow, smelling death, hovered around the small courtyard and cawed.

Finally, there was only one person left in the courtyard, the three dogs. Lin Yi was leaning on his sword as he confronted them, and from Lin Yi, Su Mu could no longer see any air of nobility, instead, he could see a kind of stubbornness that belonged solely to swordsmen. With a sword in hand, he grasped his sword and moved forward; he forgot to use his sword.

As the sword swung down, its head drew a beautiful arc in the air with blood on it.

"Wahh!" The last dog had bared its fangs, and red flesh could be vaguely seen between its teeth.

Lin Yi was truly tired. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and the sword on the ground already had a hole in it.

Lin Yi looked into the dog's eyes and saw himself. He could even smell the fishy smell coming from the dog's mouth.

Su Mu stood to the side and watched. The veins in his hand were popping out as he held the wheelchair …

The sword broke, and Lin Yi abandoned his sword, using only the most primitive method to fight the dog.

The battle seemed to have reached a stalemate, but Su Mu knew that once Lin Yi was completely exhausted, the dog would immediately counterattack.

She couldn't just watch like this! There was no such thing as a foolproof plan. Su Mu strove hard to find a way out.

Su Mu stared at the broken sword. The broken sword was very close to her. Su Mu pushed the wheelchair to pick up the sword. The broken sword was only three meters long, and the coarse cloth wrapped around the sword hilt had already been soaked in blood. As Su Mu held it in his hand, he seemed to feel Lin Yi's heartbeat.

Lin Yi's hand was wrapped around the dog's leg, and the dog's mouth was nearing Lin Yi's face. Lin Yi leaned his neck backwards, and Su Mu saw the saliva dripping onto Lin Yi's neck.

He could no longer hesitate.

Su Mu gritted his teeth and swung the broken sword.

Lin Yi felt that the dog seemed to be distracted, and it even wanted to leave the battle. He felt a trace of panic, but he only had one chance. Lin Yi's right hand formed a claw, reaching towards the dog's belly and ripping apart its flesh with the last of his strength.

The dog's numb hands felt a tinge of warmth, alleviating the pain of the nail turning out. It collapsed to the ground with its eyes wide open, staring at the gradually darkening sky until it lost its last sliver of luster.

Lin Yi also fell down, gasping for breath as his vision turned black.

I really want to sleep.

No, he really wanted to forget something.

Lin Yi grabbed his palm, regaining a trace of consciousness.

Su Mu.

Lin Yi got up from the ground and looked in Su Mu's direction only to see a patch of red.

Fresh blood started from her thighs, soaking her clothes before spreading them outwards …

"Su Mu, wake up, Su Mu!" Lin Yi stumbled over.

The broken sword was still in Su Mu's hand. A large amount of blood loss caused Su Mu's lips to turn pale. He used all of his strength, "He's not dead yet." Sound soft to the point of almost

Lin Yi tore off the corner of his clothes, grabbed Su Mu's thighs and pushed the wheelchair out of the house.

Most of the houses nearby were uninhabited. Even if there were, Lin Yi would not dare to knock on the door.

After who knows how long, Lin Yi finally saw a medicine store.

Just as the shop assistant was about to close the door with a yawn, he suddenly saw a person beside him fall down without any warning. Even the person sitting on the wheelchair was like a corpse, half yawning and unable to be spit out. Master, save me! "

"Crying out!" "How many times have I said it? Calm down, calm down …" An old man walked out from the medicine store, and was also shocked by the scene before him. After all, he had a lot of experience, so he quickly calmed down and looked around, "Quickly bring the people in, close the door, and then go out from the backyard to look for County Magistrate Ge. Hurry."

This doctor was the one who had helped Su Mubai treat his injured leg. He still remembered Lin Yi very clearly. He lived in the yamen and was extremely respectful to him. One look was enough to tell that he came from an extraordinary background.
