Ji Shuangshuang was on full alert. Even though she had been tricked, it wouldn't be that easy to capture her in this era. She quickly adjusted her condition, and her eyes became firm.

With a 'whoosh', the rope on witch's body was cut off. Because the rope had been tied for too long, witch's feet could not even stand properly, and fell to the ground.

Ji Shuangshuang helped her up and carried her on her back as she quickly walked towards the back door.

Before he even left the ancestral hall, a large group of people had already swarmed in, blocking off the back door.

The village chief and a few other reputable elders led the way, "I had long expected that someone would take the risk of coming to rescue him tonight. Arrest that brat and bring him to trial tomorrow!"

Ji Shuangshuang's gaze turned cold. With so many people grabbing one of her, it would be difficult for her to escape safely.

Fortunately, these people did not know her true identity.

The village chief was normally kind to the villagers, and had left a good impression on Ji Shuangshuang. However, she never expected that in this matter, she would be a stubborn old fogey.

Ji Shuangshuang carried witch on her back, with one hand holding onto her dagger, she prepared to charge out.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a person flew in from outside. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chong and the two villagers in front of him were knocked aside.

The village chief immediately panicked. He didn't expect them to be mantis stalking the cicada, and that the yellow sparrow was waiting for him.

When Ji Shuangshuang saw the person in front of him, her heart immediately tensed up. Even though she couldn't see her face, judging from her body, it should be Yan Qianxu.

She felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. Why would Yan Qianxu appear here?

After all, Yan Qianxu was a helper hired by the village chief, and he was not sure if it was the former, or if it was the latter, she would be in trouble today.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Qianxu was already by Ji Shuangshuang's side. With one hand, he grabbed Ji Shuangshuang and pushed him outwards, causing both of them to be thrown out of the circle.

When they neared, Ji Shuangshuang only heard Yan Qianxu whisper into her ear, "Go first, I'll handle this matter here."

Ji Shuangshuang didn't tell anyone about what they were going to do tonight, she didn't think that Yan Qianxu would be involved. Thinking that Yan Qianxu was someone who was well-hidden, and that these villagers would definitely not be able to do anything to him, Ji Shuangshuang didn't hesitate and left with witch on her back.

Staying here would only distract Yan Qianxu, and would instead cause him to be tied up. It would be better to first rescue him, then find a place to reunite with him.

She had confidence in Yan Qianxu.

Estimating the time, Ji Shuangshuang should have already escaped with witch and she did not want to waste any more time with these people. She turned around and jumped out of the window, disappearing without a trace.

The Village Chief chased for a while. The sky was too dark, and it was impossible to find anyone. In the end, they could only return empty-handed.

Ji Shuangshuang did not know where she should hide witch for the time being, it was impossible for him to live in her own home. As long as someone was still in the village, he would be captured the moment the sun shines.

After thinking about it, Ji Shuangshuang clenched her teeth and walked towards the mountain she normally requested. There was a place to hide, and whenever it rained while chopping firewood, she would go there to avoid the rain.

Although it was a bit simple and crude, it was better than losing one's life. If he were to guard a mountain full of goods, he would not starve to death.

After placing him on the mat, Ji Shuangshuang sat down to take a breath, and the little white snake on her wrist slipped out.

Ji Shuangshuang did not bother with it, and would return to the village while it was still daylight, not allowing anyone to find out that she had disappeared last night.

"Forbidden arts are more terrifying than you think. The villagers will not let this go so easily. If you send her back now, there's still room for manoeuvre. "

Hearing the sinister voice of the little white snake, Ji Shuangshuang became angry, "Shut up! If I get caught, I'll hand over you, the Snake Demon, and tell you that you're the one who started this mess! "

The white snake curled its lips, "Up to you. Don't blame me for not reminding you." With that said, she turned into a bracelet and wrapped it around Ji Shuangshuang's wrist.

Ji Shuangshuang then covered witch with her clothes. The temperature on the mountain was very low, people who were old might not be able to handle the heat.

After settling everything here, Ji Shuangshuang was ready to return. At this time, Yan Qianxu also rushed over.

"How did you know I would come here?" Ji Shuangshuang was surprised.

"Can you think of any other safe place besides this place?"

Well, you're smart.

Usually, when Ji Shuangshuang went up the mountain to gather herbs, he would occasionally come across Yan Qianxu hunting. The two of them had mentioned this place was sheltered from the rain.

"No one is chasing after us, right?"

Although she was very confident in Yan Qianxu's capabilities, she still couldn't help but confirm it.

"Oh right, Big Brother Yan, how did you know I would be going to the ancestral hall tonight? "But thank you so much for tonight, or I really wouldn't know how to get out of this."

Yan Qianxu answered simply, "I guessed."

Ji Shuangshuang smiled, but didn't mind. She had already done a great favor for him, and it was already a kindness to him.

Originally, he wanted to rush back to the Ji Family in the middle of the night, but he was worried that the witch would not be able to stay in the mountain alone.

In any case, she would frequently go up the mountain before daybreak, so it was unlikely that the villagers would suspect her. On the other hand, Yan Qianxu said, "Big Brother Yan, you should go back first.

Yan Qianxu sat down, "I'm fine." It seemed that he did not plan to leave during the night either.

The two of them spent the entire night in the cave, but in reality, they had not slept at all. Ji Shuangshuang's head started to hurt just thinking about what would happen next.

witch could not stay in the mountain forever. It was not safe here, as all kinds of wild beasts and poisonous bugs could come here. There were still a lot of days ahead, so he had to think of a way to solve this problem.

Saving others was easy, but the key issue lay in how to survive in the future.

Furthermore, she might bring Xiaoqiu out of this village one day. At that time, witch would not be able to survive on the mountain by herself.

Her mind was in a mess, and Ji Shuangshuang couldn't fall asleep no matter how shsherolled and rolled. Suddenly, when she turned around, he saw Yan Qianxu sitting up and looking at her silently.

Ji Shuangshuang was shocked, "Big Brother Yan, what are you doing? You scared me."

A rare look of helplessness appeared on Yan Qianxu's face, "You have been tossing and turning here and there, even if I wanted to sleep, I have no way of doing so."

Ji Shuangshuang's face flushed red, she had actually caused him to fall asleep, "Sorry, Big Brother Yan, I'm not going to move anymore, hurry up and go back to sleep."

Yan Qianxu shook his head, "If you have anything to say, say it, and we can discuss it together."

Ji Shuangshuang's heart stirred, Yan Qianxu had lived here for a long time, maybe he had a good idea. She told Yan Qianxu his worries without hesitation.

He didn't expect that not only did Yan Qianxu not seem to feel troubled, he had a puzzled look, as if Ji Shuangshuang had said something that wasn't worth mentioning.
