Chu Xin suppressed the joy in her heart and prepared to return home. Only then did she realize that it was already very dark. She looked around, lost in the darkness of the night.

I'll explain it to Aunt Wang when I get back tomorrow. I hope she won't worry too much tonight!

Afraid of stepping on the medicinal field, Chu Feng carefully walked to the side, hoping to find a place to rest. Fortunately, the original owner's night vision was very good, so he could still see his surroundings.

After walking for a while, rumbling sounds suddenly came from the sky. After the sound of thunder, large drops of rain began to fall through the leaves.

With such dense leaves blocking the rain, one could imagine how heavy the thunderstorm was.

Chu Xin covered her head with her hands and quickened her pace. Her luck was not bad. She had just found a cave about 500 meters away.

She carefully entered the cave and first observed if this was the lair of some wild beast. In this mysterious mountain range of the Great Ming, there were too many unknown secrets. It was best to be cautious.

After a careful inspection, she found that the cave was very dry. She did not find any excrement or food, nor any traces of animals living in the cave. But she found a lot of hay and scattered wood.

Had someone lived here before?

Was the medicinal field cultivated by someone who had lived in the past?

If that person knew that he had looted his medicinal field …

Chu Xin shook his head and comforted himself. There were not many people around, and even if someone planted them, they would not come here often. How could they know that it was her who took the herbs? Chu Feng felt a bit more at ease.

She lay down on the grass in her clothes, intending to sleep peacefully for the night. In the past, she had often spent her nights in the mountains when she was out on errands, so she wasn't afraid.

The rain outside the cave was getting heavier and heavier. Chu Xin listened to the rhythm of the rain and gradually fell into a state of drowsiness.

In her drowsiness, she was awoken by a voice she had never heard before. It was a voice that sounded loud and clear in the midst of the thunder.

With another bang, she stood up, feeling curious. She stood at the entrance of the cave and looked outside.

Through the curtain of rain, Chu Xin could vaguely see that about two hundred meters away from the cave she was in, there were two men in black tights confronting each other.

Both parties held a black object in their hands. One of the men was half-kneeling on the ground, and not far away stood a tall and skinny man with short hair. He wore a black suit, and held a black item with a long pipe as he aimed it at the man who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"In this Great Ming Mountain, other than me, there are actually people who dare to enter," Chu Xin thought in his heart, somewhat puzzled, "Who are they?" What are they holding in their hands? "

Chu Xin saw that the tall and skinny man seemed to have said something, and the black object in his hand was still facing the half-kneeling man. The half-kneeling man raised his head and said something, and then, with a bang, the half-kneeling man fell to the ground.

She thought about it carefully. Could it be a gun? The original owner had seen it on television, but had never come into contact with it.

"Are they a party?" Will they find me here? " Chu Xin was slightly panicking.

Outside the cave, the rain had intensified, and the sound of thunder could be heard, as if it were going to rain all night. The remaining two people were talking to each other. Although they weren't very far away, Chu Xin was unable to hear what they were saying.

It seemed that the two of them had also discovered the cave and decided to take shelter from the rain. They walked in the direction of Chu Xin. Chu Xin quickly covered her body and stuck out her head to observe them.

However, the situation suddenly changed. Just as they walked more than ten meters away, the strong man took out a knife from behind him and stabbed into the tall and skinny man's body.

Chu Xinyi looked at this scene and thought of her past. There was a hypocritical man who had done the same thing. After she had unreservedly trusted him, he had mercilessly pierced her heart veins.

If she didn't have the Heart Protecting Pill and insisted on waiting for the Clan Elder's rescue, perhaps she would have already disappeared from that world. When she returned, she fed the man who had betrayed her to the viper.

From then on, she would no longer easily open her heart and open her heart to believe in someone.

The tall, skinny man reacted quickly after getting injured. He turned around, subdued the strong man, and shot him in the head. Then, he walked for about ten meters and was about to walk to the cave where Chu Xin was.

"Do we need to save him?" Chu Xin was a bit hesitant. "I wonder if I'll get into any trouble if I save him. From the looks of it, their identities won't be simple."

The lanky man lay motionless on the ground, the rain hitting him.
