"Oh no, it's a group of monkeys!" The eldest brother's face became extremely solemn. Yi Han was like a frightened bird, and he quickly looked over. They saw a group of monkeys jumping up and down in the woods, approaching them rapidly like lightning. The second brother's voice was angry and helpless: "Damn it, how could I be so unlucky to be attacked one after another?" Yi Han drew his sword again, clenched his teeth, and prepared for battle. A group of monkeys rushed in from the forest on the right side like a tide, as fast as lightning. The seven men swung their swords to kill, but the monkey was extremely agile and dodged the attacks. In addition, they were all exhausted both physically and mentally, and were unable to do their best, so they were unable to kill a single monkey. Fortunately, these monkeys were kind and did not scratch or bite them. Just like bandits, they robbed their bags and quickly ran towards the forest on the left.
No one was able to protect the bag and could only watch the monkey leave. Yi Han was not spared either, his face showing a complex expression of bitterness, helplessness and fear. Even the venison that the second brother had bitten several bites of was ruthlessly snatched away by the monkey. Fortunately, he still had a piece of meat in his mouth that he had not swallowed. "Ah! Beast!" After swallowing the venison, the second senior brother cursed with gritted teeth. In an instant, all the property of Yi Han and his seven companions was looted. "Everyone, leave quickly!" said the eldest brother, and quickened his pace. He seemed very reluctant to stay in this desolate valley any longer. After walking for a while, Yi Han looked pale and asked in a trembling voice: "Second Brother, no..." Before he could finish, Senior Sister Mu stopped him sternly: "Shut up!" Others also gave him fierce and resentful looks. "Brother, please stop talking." The little sister next to him pulled his sleeve and spoke in a low voice with a tone of complaint and seeming to be distressed. She seemed to agree that the beast's attack was caused by Yi Han's bad mouth. Can you blame me for this? Yi Han lowered his head, looking very aggrieved, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart, so he had to keep silent. Sure enough, more than an hour later, Yi Han and his seven companions finally got out of the valley safely without encountering any wild beasts on the way. This made others resent him even more. "Finally we got out of this damn place!" Second Brother suddenly sighed. "Big Brother, we are out of food and water. We don't know where there are any homes in this desolate mountain area. What should we do?" Senior Sister Mu asked what Yi Han was thinking. The eldest brother looked thoughtful, and after a moment he spoke seriously: "Everyone, please pay attention on the road and see if you can find some edible wild vegetables and water."
"Okay." Except for the second senior brother, Yi Han and others responded in unison. The bags were looted by monkeys, and no one had any food left, so everyone was starving. The sun slowly sets in the west, the afterglow pours down, and the sky is dyed a gorgeous golden red. The seven people finally found a mountain stream and built a fire on a flat area beside the stream. Sitting by the fire, Yi Han heard Senior Sister Mu suddenly order Xiao Linzi: "Xiao Linzi, aren't you good at cooking fish? Go catch some fish in the water before it gets dark." Senior Sister Mu's eyes twitched slightly, and her gaze lingered on Xiao Linzi's face for a moment. Xiao Linzi nodded respectfully, with a barely perceptible smile on his face. "Xiao Liuzi, go fishing with Xiao Linzi." The little junior sister also instructed her servant. She seemed to feel a little sorry for letting Xiao Linzi suffer alone. "Yes, miss." Xiao Liuzi responded quickly. Yi Han watched with interest as Xiao Linzi and the other man rolled up their trouser legs and walked towards the stream. Suddenly, he was startled and felt like he was being stared at by a pair of strange eyes. When I turned my head and glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw that it was my second senior brother who was giving me a vicious but unquestionable look. Yi Han understood clearly that the other party was ordering him to poison. After nodding slightly, Yi Han pretended to smile and said: "Although my martial arts skills are not as good as mine, I have been able to catch fish since I was a child. In the past, other children in the village could not compare with me." Among his fellow disciples, everyone knew that Yi Han came from a remote mountain village. At the end, Yi Han raised his chin slightly, looking quite proud, and then stood up: "Hey, Junior Brother, I feel a little itchy, go catch two too." As he said this, he walked towards the stream. Xiao Linzi and Xiao Liuzi were far apart, each guarding one side. Yi Han thought Xiao Linzi was more interesting, so he walked towards him. Soon, Yi Han and Xiao Linzi whispered to each other and worked together to catch a big fat fish. After spending a long time, Yi Han and his two companions finally caught seven fish and immediately went ashore to deal with them. Yi Han quietly took out some white powder from his arms and began to clean the fish. "Junior Brother Yi, come over and have a rest. Let Xiao Linzi do the rough work!" Yi Han was just picking up the fish to process it when he heard Senior Sister Mu's words, which sounded both concerned and commanding. "Yes, senior sister." Yi Han did not dare to disobey. He quickly turned over all the fish with their bellies ripped open. Then he clapped his hands and obediently returned to the fire. Yi Han always felt that something was wrong with Senior Sister Mu's concern. She never cared about herself. "Senior sister will only take care of me unless she wants to sow discord between me and Second Senior Brother." Yi Han pondered but couldn't figure out the problem for a moment.
Perhaps it was because they had experienced life and death together in Luopu Valley that made the senior sister start to value the friendship between fellow disciples. Yi Han thought this was very possible. After sitting down, Yi Han quietly nodded to his second senior brother who had been waiting for a long time. However, the other party seemed to have expected this. Yi Han thought that he must have seen how he handled the fish just now. "Xiao Liuzi, go collect some firewood and bring it back. We'll add more firewood to grill the fish later." Senior Sister Mu instructed Xiao Liuzi again. "Yes." Xiao Liuzi had a miserable look on his face and walked away slowly with a knife in his hand. After a while, he came back carrying a large bundle of firewood. On the other side, Xiao Linzi, with his back to the crowd, also processed the fish and strung them up with branches. He ran to the fire with joy and placed branches in front of each person. Senior Sister Mu looked thoughtful and no one knew what she was thinking. The second brother standing aside seemed to be the same as usual, nothing unusual, but he was actually sneering in his heart. As soon as everyone eats the fish, he can take the two beauties into his arms. He stared at the fish, but his peripheral vision was keeping an eye on Senior Sister Mu and Junior Sister, moving his throat from time to time. When others saw this, they thought he was just too hungry and wanted to eat fish. But Yi Han knew it well. Second Brother...is indeed extremely hungry and thirsty. Yi Han checked his injuries and took out some herbs he had found earlier, but he didn't know what had contaminated him. The leaves of many herbs were covered with gray powder, like dust. After searching carefully and concentrating, Yi Han picked a few leaves that were not contaminated by dust and threw all the useless herbs into the fire. Yi Han crushed the leaves he had picked with his scabbard and applied them to the wounds on his body. He immediately grimaced in pain. "Senior Brother." The little sister was sitting next to Yi Han. She seemed to have heard his humming, so she called out softly in a worried tone. Yi Han turned around and smiled at him. For some reason, Yi Han vaguely realized that, except for his junior sister, everyone else looked at him with extreme contempt. Yi Han didn't care. He continued to apply the ointment on the wound, continued to grin, and continued to hum. Let Yi Han go his own way and let others laugh. Two quarters of an hour later, amid the smoke, the tempting aroma of fish wafted everywhere. Senior Sister Mu calmly put a pill, which was either an antidote or a treatment for injuries, into her mouth and took a sip of water to flush it down her throat. The second senior brother also secretly shook out a pill from his sleeve and held it in his hand. He tilted his head to one side and almost hit the ground. He covered his mouth and sneezed. The fish was indeed grilled, but except for Xiao Linzi and Xiao Liuzi who started to eat the fish with a "smacking sound", none of the other four people including Yi Han started eating.
"This fish smells so good!" At this time, Senior Sister Mu picked up the fish and put it close to her nose, sniffing it twice and exclaimed in praise. She then took out the silver needle that she kept close to her body, stabbed the fish with it dozens of times, and placed it next to the fire to examine it carefully. After a moment, she put away the silver needle, smiled sweetly, and started eating the fish. Yi Han also picked up the fish and checked it with a silver needle like his junior sister before he started eating the fish with confidence. But maybe the eldest brother was too melancholy or worried about the fish, he actually closed his eyes and rested, and was reluctant to eat. Senior Sister Mu, Second Senior Brother, and Xiao Linzi, seemingly unintentionally, secretly glanced at the First Senior Brother, with anxiety and worry revealed in their eyes. The second brother was holding the grilled fish, and his anxiety was most obvious on his face. He even forgot to take a bite of the grilled fish in his hand. For a moment, the forest was silent, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood and slight "crackling" sounds. This strange atmosphere was so oppressive that Yi Han could hardly breathe. He lowered his head and mechanically put the fish into his mouth, counting the time silently in his heart. After thinking for a long time, his hands hesitated and his heart tightened slightly. It's almost time for the poison to take effect. Suddenly, Yi Han's eyes widened and he was suddenly frightened. "Oops! I forgot to take the antidote!"
