Chapter 538: Don't Speak, You Won't Even Get Your Other Arm

Yao Lingyu opened her mouth and asked Yao Chengji: "Grandfather, aren't they good people either?"

"It doesn't feel like it."

Yao Chengji replied to her.

Yao Lingyu thought back to the previous scene, and instantly lost her words.

They returned home.

Yao Chengji put down Yao Lingyu and went into the house to tidy up; Xiao Shitou saw them come in with bundles and felt strange: "Grandfather Yao, what's this?"

Yao Chengji didn't hide it from Xiao Shitou, gave a brief explanation, then stepped forward and hugged him.

Xiao Shitou looked at Yao Chengji and said: "Grandfather Yao, I'm much better now; I can walk on my own, so you hold Yu er's sister."

"Okay!"

Seeing that Xiao Shitou could walk fine now, Yao Chengji stopped insisting on carrying him.

Seeing those people use lightness skill to chase after them.

Yao Chengji's face changed involuntarily; if this continued, they feared none of them would escape: "Yu er, take him to the cave we often go to and hide there; if I don't come to call you, don't come out."

"Grandfather, come with us."

Yao Lingyu pulled him and said.

Xiao Shitou also grabbed him: "Grandfather Yao, if we're going, let's go together."

Yao Chengji rubbed each of their heads and said: "They've already chased up; I'll go lure them away. Rest assured, I know this mountain inside out, nothing will happen."

In the end, he still didn't go with them.

Seeing them run far away.

Yao Chengji shouldered his pack and walked off in another direction.

Xiao Shitou and they had medicine powder smeared on their bodies, so even if they encountered snakes, insects, rats, or ants along the way, those creatures dared not do anything to them; upon smelling the scent, they would scurry away.

They ran for about half an hour when a small cave appeared before them.

Although Yao Lingyu was worried about her grandfather in her heart, she still moved the vines at the side as usual to conceal the cave.

Xiao Shitou quickly walked over to help.

Done.

They lifted a gap in the vines and crawled inside.

Because the vines blocked the light, the inside was pitch black.

Suddenly entering such a place.

Xiao Shitou inevitably felt a bit unaccustomed.

Yao Lingyu, however, was used to it; she felt for a tinderbox, lit it, and called Xiao Shitou to go inside.

Only then did Xiao Shitou realize this cave had another world within.

The cave had everything.

It could be said to be their other home.

They drank some water.

They ate some dried meat.

After waiting a long time in the cave and still not seeing their grandfather come, Yao Lingyu grew more worried, her eyes brimming with tears as she told Xiao Shitou: "Little brother, will my grandfather be alright?"

"No, he'll be fine."

Xiao Shitou comforted Yao Lingyu with his words, but deep down he also worried something might happen to him.

After thinking.

He told Yao Lingyu to wait here while he went out to look.

Yao Lingyu grabbed him: "No, I don't want to stay here alone; I'll go with you to look for my grandfather."

He couldn't argue with her.

Xiao Shitou had no choice but to bring her along to look for her grandfather.

Half an hour later.

They heard a man's questioning voice from the side: "Speak or not? If you don't speak, forget about ever getting your other arm back!"

Xiao Shitou's and Yao Lingyu's faces both changed.

Yao Lingyu wanted to run over to see.

Xiao Shitou stopped her: "I'll go."

"No."

Yao Lingyu didn't want her grandfather to come to harm, nor did she want him to come to harm.

Xiao Shitou still went alone.

Yao Lingyu's temperament wasn't something Xiao Shitou could dissuade; she quietly followed him.

As Xiao Shitou got close, he heard a familiar man's voice—couldn't that be Yao Chengji speaking?

"I already said he left; how can you be so unreasonable?"

"You old bastard! Still trying to fool us—he left, and your granddaughter left too? How long has it been? Where could you have sent your granddaughter?"

A young man dressed in muddy-yellow garb kicked Yao Chengji in the body.

Yao Chengji fell to the ground, covered in blood.

Only then did Xiao Shitou discover that he not only had lost an arm, but also bore many sword wounds on his body.

How could they be so ruthless!

Xiao Shitou was about to go out when Yao Lingyu leaned over. (End of chapter)
