Qi Yang was so tired that he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Instructing Xiao Yizi to take care of him, Ling'er picked up the water bag and went to the stream to collect water, and washed Xiao Yizi's blood-stained robe and his own sleeves.
Then Ling'er returned to the bottom of the cliff where she met Brother Qi Yang, untied the broken hemp ropes from under the big tree, dug a hole and buried them. After making sure that even the blood stains on the surrounding ground were covered up, Ling'er took the water bag and cleaned clothes back.
Ling'er didn't expect to see such a scene when he returned.
Xiao Yizi hugged his knees and sat next to Qi Yang, sleeping soundly, with Qi Yang's black robe still covering him. Qi Yang was awake instead, looking at Ling'er.
Ling'er put the wet clothes on the stand next to the fire, walked to Qi Yang, and said reproachfully: "This little Yizi is really serious. You asked him to take care of you, but you fell asleep instead."
"He is still a child." Qi Yang said fondly.
Ling'er suddenly had an idea: "Brother Qi Yang will definitely be a good father in the future."
"Have all those hemp ropes been put away?" Qi Yang asked.
Ling'er nodded, added some firewood to the fire and asked, "Are you cold? There is no internal strength in the body, so don't get cold."
Qi Yang disagreed and continued: "As soon as it gets light, you and Xiao Yizi will wait at the bottom of the cliff. Ji Cangyu should be here soon."
"At dawn?" Ling'er was reluctant to leave. It would be good to stay with Brother Qi Yang for a while longer.
"You can also stay in the cave and wait for them to find you." Qi Yang said with a smile.
Ling'er shook his head and asked: "How did you know they would come? Or would they go directly to the bottom of the cliff? Instead of going to this cave first?"
"Knowing that you are missing, Ji Cangyu will definitely want to find someone all night long, but Xu Jun will find a way to delay it until dawn. Once dawn, Xu Jun will have no excuse to stop Ji Cangyu. Since he must find someone, Xu Jun will propose to come from the cliff He started looking for him, he wanted to confirm that the man in black with the ghost face was dead. He wanted to see the person alive, but he wanted to see the body after death." Qi Yang explained.
"I understand." Ling'er nodded.
"You just said you were avoiding the assassin, and you came to this canyon in a panic and lost your way." Qi Yang said, "I hope Xu Jun won't be suspicious."
"What about you? What will you do after we leave?" Ling'er asked anxiously.
"This place is inaccessible and is relatively safe for the time being. When you go back, ask Xiao Yizi to send someone to send a message to Yixingmen, and someone will naturally come to pick you up." Qi Yang said.
"I have thunder and thunder arrows here. Keep them just in case." With that said, Ling'er took out the last thunder and thunder arrow from the small bag and handed it to Qi Yang.
Qi Yang did not pick it up and said with a smile: "Girl, keep it to yourself! Thunderbolt arrows are not that easy to use. A few steel needles below are enough for self-defense."
Ling'er frowned, there really are people who look down on Thunderbolt Arrow as Big Brother Bei Shi said!

As expected, Qi Yang had guessed that Ji Cangyu took Xu Jun and Zhong Gong and Zhong Long, who had rushed back to Jijiazhuang in the middle of the night, to Yingting Valley to find someone.
As Ji Cangyu and his party approached the bottom of the cliff, they saw Ling'er and Xiao Yizi sitting "bored" by the stream in a daze.
When Zhong Gong and Zhong Long saw Ling'er, they immediately ran over to greet Ling'er.
Xu Jun, on the other hand, looked around as if he was still looking for something.
"Xiao Yizi, are you not injured?" Ji Cangyu asked Xiao Yizi with concern.
"Thank you, Master Ji, for your concern. My sister and I were not injured, we just got lost. After encountering the assassin yesterday, we somehow entered this canyon. The scenery here is beautiful. We couldn't help but wander around, and ended up getting lost. We didn't know the direction. Then it got dark and we couldn't find the way we came." Xiao Yizi said according to Brother Six's instructions.
Xu Jun glanced at Xiao Yizi and had no intention of suspecting anything. He was more eager to confirm the body of the ghost-faced man in black.
"As long as you're okay, let's go back!" Ji Cangyu said.
"Dad, the scenery here is so beautiful, let's go for a walk!" Xu Jun suggested.
Worried that Xu Jun would not go directly to the bottom of the cliff to cover up his purpose, Ling'er hurriedly asked: "I wonder what Brother Jun wants to see?"
"They say the scenery from a high cliff is very beautiful, but I would like to see how beautiful it is from the bottom up." Xu Jun immediately found an excuse.
Ling'er pointed forward and said: "If you take a few steps forward, you can see the scenery on the top of the cliff."
"Really?" Xu Jun said, pretending to be surprised.
"It's a pity that it was already dark when we found this place yesterday. It was so dark that we could only see the shadows of the trees." Xiao Yizi said regretfully.
This explained why they had not seen the corpses before.
Ling'er secretly admired Xiao Yizi's cleverness.
They walked forward for a while and saw a body that had been smashed into a human shape. There was a black ghost mask next to the body.
Zhong Gong and Zhong Long couldn't help but exclaimed, obviously frightened.
Ling'er and Xiao Yizi, who were walking at the end, pretended to be frightened and hugged each other before they even got close.
Ji Cangyu sighed deeply and turned away his head, unable to bear to look at the miserable state of the corpse. He was quite sorry, but he didn't feel the inexplicable heartache of yesterday anymore.
Xu Junze showed indifference, walked to the body and knelt down to check it out.
Everyone lost interest in enjoying the beautiful scenery and wanted to start back.
Ji Cangyu said, "He is a pitiful man, let him be cremated!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Gong and Zhong Long went to collect firewood, while Ling'er and Xiao Yizi hid far away.
Xu Jun sneered at this, said nothing, and walked aside to watch.
Ji Cangyu personally covered the corpse with some weeds.
---
On the way back, everyone felt a little heavy.
Zhong Gong was worried that Linger would be frightened, so he went to the carriage to talk to her.
Only then did Linger learn what happened yesterday.
It was already dark when Ji Cangyu and Xu Jun returned to Jijiazhuang.
Ji Cangyu was very anxious when he found that Ling'er and the others had not come back, and wanted to go back and find someone immediately. Xu Jun advised him to wait a little longer.
They waited until late at night. Ling'er and Xiao Yizi did not come back, but Zhong Gong, Zhong Long and the five servants did.
It turns out that Zhong Gong and Zhong Long were trapped in a maze when they went to get water and couldn't get out. Later, when the five servants went to find Zhong Gong and Zhong Long, they also got lost. It wasn't until it was almost dark that they managed to escape from the maze.
Ji Cangyu therefore became even more worried about Ling'er's safety.
Zhong Gong and Zhong Long wanted to go to the mountains overnight to find Ling'er, but Xu Jun rejected it.
Xu Jun believed that there must be other mazes arranged on the mountain. None of them were masters of breaking the mazes. It would be bad if they accidentally fell into the maze again. At least they could avoid them carefully during the day.
In the end, Ji Cangyu listened to Xu Jun's suggestion and waited until dawn before looking for someone.
After learning what happened, Ling'er and Xiao Yizi looked at each other, and Qi Yang had guessed everything.
As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Yizi proposed to get out of the car and go back by himself.
This was Qi Yang's intention, and this move was so unexpected that Xu Jun had no time to send his men to follow Xiao Yizi.
As soon as Xiao Yizi escaped, he rushed to Qingfeng Inn and told Xiao Xu the whereabouts of Qi Yang.
