Wild Rose insisted again:

"No, absolutely not. I will also go to pay homage to the 189 souls of Xiaoyao Village. They are the heroes in my heart. I must go. There is also Su Murong, the miraculous doctor of Qilin Village, because he had a daughter Su Yunyun who cured my mother.

He is ill, so he is also my indirect benefactor. How could I not go? That would make people think I am ungrateful."

Zhao Fan listened and realized that what she said made some sense, so he stopped blocking her and could only nod his head in agreement.

Early the next morning, three fast horses appeared on the mountain road leading to Xiaoyao Village in Xiaoyao Mountain.

Qilin Village

When Su Yunyun saw her father's tomb, two lines of hot tears rolled down her face, and she burst into tears. Zhao Fan and Wild Rose stepped forward and pulled her up as hard as they could. The three of them repaired the tomb, placed incense to pay homage, and knelt down respectfully.

Three heads.

Zhao Fan was about to get up when he noticed that there was a young girl beside him. He hurriedly turned around and saw that she was looking attentively and without squinting. She was also worshiping respectfully. He didn't say anything and just stared at her silently.

Wild Rose noticed something strange about Zhao Fan and turned around. She found that there was another person next to Zhao Fan. This person was Lu Xinlei. She couldn't help frowning, "Miss Lu, weren't you in Phoenix Ridge? Why did you do it without anyone noticing?"

Are you here?"

Lu Xinlei raised her little mouth and said with a smile: "Who stipulates that only you are allowed to worship, but I can't. She is the father of my sister Yun, should I come? What's more, if you leave Phoenix Ridge, I will go and pay tribute.

Who will serve as staff and assistant?"

Wild Rose was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer. Zhao Fan saw the two women quarreling with each other as soon as they met, and hurriedly tried to persuade her: "Since you have already arrived, there is no point in saying anything. You should comfort Su Yunyun more."

The two girls also knew that this was not the place to argue, so they both remained silent and gently helped Su Yunyun up.

After worshiping the miraculous doctor Su Murong, a man and three women continued to move forward. Near noon, the four of them came to the foot of a majestic mountain. Zhao Fan turned back and looked at the three women.

Small beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Wild Rose and Su Yunyun, but their steps remained steady.

Lu Xinlei grew up in a big city and had no experience walking on mountain roads. Her physical strength was not as good as the two of them. She was already dripping with sweat and her feet were slipping. Her clothes were half wet with sweat. Her thin clothes were now clinging tightly to her skin.

She looked a little embarrassed.

Zhao Fan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't explain what it was, so he had to say: "Let's go to the front and take a rest. There is a stream there, which is perfect for washing your face and relieving your fatigue."

Lu Xinlei said breathlessly: "Okay, this mountain road is indeed not as good as the official road. I can't walk even one step."

"Who asked you to follow? No one is forcing you with a knife. You are just asking for trouble. If it doesn't work, you should go back to Phoenix Ridge first." Wild Rose said sarcastically.

Lu Xinlei was about to retort when her foot slipped and she staggered, falling backward.

Zhao Fan jumped up, reached out to stop her waist, and pulled her into his arms, then stabilized his body. Although the two did not fall, they hugged each other tightly.

Lu Xinlei's face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly, happily enjoying this rare moment. How she wished this moment could last forever and rely on his arms forever.

Zhao Fan was so anxious that he had no time to think about the difference between men and women. When he stood still, he realized that he was holding Lu Xinlei's soft waist. He quickly retracted his hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, it was just too much."

It’s dangerous and urgent, so I may have offended you, so please forgive me.”

Before Lu Xinlei opened her mouth, Wild Rose's words rushed out, "Miss Lu, you did it on purpose, right?"

Lu Xinlei blushed even more and said hesitantly, "I did accidentally slip my foot just now. Thank you, Brother Fan. I don't blame you. If it weren't for you, I might have fallen."

Wild Rose wanted to say something more, but Su Yunyun strode to Lu Xinlei's side, "Brother Fan, you lead the way, I will take care of Sister Lu."

Wild Rose had already seen that Su Yunyun was jealous, so why wasn't she? She stopped talking and walked to Lu Xinlei's side. The two of them supported her, one on the left and the other on the right. It might as well be said that they were monitoring her to prevent her from doing anything again.

What's the trick?

Zhao Fan was silent in thought, but his heart was filled with ups and downs. The moment he held Lu Xinlei's waist just now, he felt a familiar feeling, as if he felt the same as the person in the absurd dream that day.

Could it be that the person on the bed that night was Lu Xinlei? This is impossible, but the feeling on his hands was unmistakable. Zhao Fan fell into a whirlpool of confusion for a while, and could not recover for a long time.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Yunyun asked worriedly as she saw Zhao Fan motionless and dazed.

Zhao Fan's thoughts were interrupted by Su Yunyun's voice, and he quickly raised his head, "It's okay, let's leave quickly."

Before taking a few steps, Zhao Fan suddenly stopped, turned around and made a silent movement, returned to the three women, lowered his voice and said: "Follow me quickly, there is someone talking in front, and he is coming towards us.

It seems that the person who came here is evil."

Wild Rose listened carefully and felt that there were quite a few people coming. She hurriedly supported Lu Xinlei and followed Zhao Fan. The four of them hid in a bush not far away.

Not long after, the visitors came closer and I heard them say:

"It's been more than a year. If there were any clues, they would have disappeared long ago. It seems like our trip was in vain."

"It's useless to say this now. Why did you go there earlier?"

"That is, if you are able, go and talk to Mr. Du and bring our brothers to this ungrateful place. There is not even a place to drink."

"Du Laogeda, this mountain road is the closest from Xiaoyaozhuang. There is no other way."

"You can't blame me. This Xiaoyao Village is already remote. Who wants to come here? I reminded the boss that as long as we catch Zhao Fan, we will definitely find what we need. But the boss refused to listen and insisted on calling.

I'll take you to Xiaoyao Village to see what I can do."

…

Zhao Fan listened carefully to the conversation of the group in front of him. Wild Rose patted his shoulder from behind, pointed at a person in front, and whispered:

"Look, the man walking behind is Huang Sanbiao, the head of Mopanshan. The man in front of him seems to be Du Laogepa, Du Lisan's hard-core subordinate. The others don't recognize him."

Zhao Fan followed his fingers and saw that it was indeed Huang Sanbiao. He couldn't help frowning. He had taken refuge in Du Lisan. It was really not easy to gain trust so quickly.

Wild Rose whispered and asked: "There are more than thirty of them, should we fight or not?"

"Let's avoid them for the time being. There is no need for us to fall out with Du Lisan directly. He has a strong army now. Let's avoid their sharp edges first and make plans later."

Zhao Fan thought over and over again and felt that it was impossible to directly compete with Du Lisan now. If he attacked rashly, Phoenix Ridge might be under huge pressure, but the Huang Sanbiao in front of him still made him hate it with hatred.

Wild Rose said: "If we just let Huang Sanbiao go, isn't it a bit too easy on him?"

"Not necessarily. You guys stay here for a while. I'll be back when I go." After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he slipped out quietly.

After about a cup of tea, he had already retreated to a trail that Huang Sanbiao must pass. He was four to five hundred meters away from Su Yunyun and the others. After determining a safe distance, he hurriedly hid next to a big tree, which was just in front of him.
