The tall man’s blade had pierced through Yang Guang’s skin!

It hadn’t pierced his body, but only his clothes.

Yang Guang felt a lingering sense of fear. If he had been stabbed, not only would he have died, but Xu Ling would have been r*ped as well!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but step forward and kick him a couple of times, even though the tall man was already dead.

At this moment, Xu Ling, who had come to her senses, quickly ran up to Yang Guang and hugged him. “You’re fine? You scared me to death!”

“Who says I wasn’t? I was also caught off guard just now!”

Yang Guang forced a laugh and took the opportunity to hug her waist!

The two of them hugged each other for a while before Xu Ling raised her face. “You killed two people, so what should we do?”

“Do you think it’s better to call the police or destroy the evidence?” Yang Guang asked.

Xu Ling was stunned. She bit her lips and said, “These two guys deserve to die. But even if I testify for you, that’s still two human lives. No matter how much they deserved to die, you’re still guilty of manslaughter!”

“That’s right. So I might be arrested and locked up for a few years, and then I won’t be able to see you again,” Yang Guang said.

Hearing this, Xu Ling trembled. She gritted her teeth and said, “They’re evil, so we might as well throw them into the fire and burn him!”

Yang Guang laughed when he heard that.

Then, he nodded. “Okay, let’s do it!”

He turned around and went to the corpse. Yang Guang first checked if the tall man had anything on him, but he only found a satchel, so he threw it aside and dragged the corpse into the forest.

Then, he dragged the short man over as well. He put down the remaining embers and threw some firewood over.

Not long after, a flame sprang up, and the firewood began to burn with crackling sounds.

Yang Guang and Xu Ling watched for a while. Both of their hearts were a little heavy, but it had already been done. What was the point of regretting it now?

So Yang Guang took Xu Ling’s hand and went back to the bonfire where the meat had been roasted. He took the tall man’s satchel and looked at it.

There were quite a lot of things inside. They were all bits and pieces. There was a small map book, a bunch of keys, some anti-inflammatory and anti-fever medicine, and a small red bronze medal.

The useless things were thrown into the bonfire. Yang Guang took the bronze medal and looked at it. There were two characters engraved on it, but he didn’t know what they were.

However, he felt that this thing might come in handy, so he didn’t burn it. Instead, he put it into his pocket.

When he was almost done burning the stuff, he turned around to look at the back of the mountain. Yang Guang said to Xu Ling, “Since there’s an ancient tomb there, let’s go take a look later?”

“Sure, but if you find any cultural relics or something like that, you can’t hide it. You have to hand it over to the authorities!” Xu Ling said.

“No problem. If it’s an antique, I’ll definitely hand it over. But if it’s gold or silver, I won’t!” Yang Guang said.

Xu Ling looked at him and sighed. “You’re really greedy. But okay, since gold or silver doesn’t have any archaeological value anyway!”

“Okay!”

Yang Guang nodded, then held her hand and said, “When the sky brightens, let’s think of a way to go home first!”

“Yeah, I hope Wu Xiaolian hasn’t been too worried,” Xu Ling said.

As the two were talking, a faint shout suddenly came from afar, so Yang Guang and Xu Ling both turned their heads to look at the direction outside the valley and listened attentively.

Soon, a few rays flashed in the sky. It was obviously the light of a flashlight. Then, the shouts became clearer!

Yang Guang stood up. “It’s the people from the village!”

“Maybe everyone was worried about us, so they came to the mountain to look for us!”

Xu Ling heard that they were shouting her and Yang Guang’s names. She quickly stood up and replied loudly, “Hey, we’re here!”

Her clear voice echoed in the valley. The villagers heard it very quickly!

Yang Guang glanced at Xu Ling at this time and said with a smile, “If you don’t want to be seen naked, you’d better put on your clothes first!”

“Ah!”

Xu Ling looked down and realized that she was still dressed in shorts and a tank top. She quickly ran to get her dry clothes.

After she put them on, she stuck out her tongue at Yang Guang. “Thank goodness you reminded me in time!”

“Of course. Only I can see you like this. I can’t stand it when others see you like this!” Yang Guang laughed.

Xu Ling was stunned by his words and then rolled her eyes at him.

Even so, her heart was filled with warmth and happiness.

Yang Guang knew that the villagers were about to arrive. On impulse, he walked over to hug Xu Ling, then he lowered his head and kissed her!

“Ah, you villain, you’re taking advantage of me again!”

After Xu Ling was kissed, she was immediately shocked and embarrassed. She was so angry that she stomped her feet.

“There won’t be a chance when I go back, so I have to seize the chance!”

Yang Guang chuckled and quickly ran to put on his clothes.

The two of them responded to the shouts outside while holding hands and walking out.

The unburned trees were still emitting heat. In some places, the temperature was so high that it was unbearable. Therefore, Yang Guang simply picked up Xu Ling and dashed out!

After he ran dozens of meters later, a flashlight flashed in front of them, and then it shone in their direction.

The people had already heard Xu Ling and Yang Guang’s responses. Now that they saw the two of them coming out, they immediately let out a sigh of relief!

Among the crowd, the first one to rush up was Wu Xiaolian. When she saw that the two of them were fine, she immediately let out a sigh of relief. Then, she said with a sob, “I was scared to death. Fortunately, you two are fine!”

“Don’t cry. Why are you crying when you see that we’re fine?!”

Yang Guang chuckled and turned to look at Qingshan Village’s women behind him. He said loudly, “Thank you, everyone. You still came out to look for us even in the middle of the night!”

“If you want to thank someone, then thank Xiaolian. It was Xiaolian who went from house to house looking for everyone to help!” Mrs. Niu said.

Yang Guang was even more touched when he heard that. He smiled and said, “Then I have to thank all of you for being willing to accompany Xiaolian into the mountains!”

“Yang Guang, you’re really impressive to be fine even after you were trapped in the mountain!” Mrs. Niu said.

“I’m lucky!”

Yang Guang smiled and continued, “Thank you all again. I’ll set up a banquet at home another day and treat everyone to a meal!”

“It’s nice that you have the intention. You’re a member of our village. We can’t just stand by and watch while you’re in trouble. We were just joking just now. Since you and Xu Ling are fine, we can rest assured!”

Mrs. Niu chatted with everyone for a while, and then everyone walked out of the mountain.

With more people, there was nothing to be afraid of in the dark forest. Yang Guang omitted the part with the tall and short guys and told everyone about how he had escaped the fire in the mountain.

After hearing that, everyone started buzzing with discussion. They all said that he and Xu Ling were extremely lucky. Fortunately, there was a pond, or else it would have been difficult for them to survive.

When the group returned to the village, the sky had already brightened. A new day was about to begin..
