Why did you provoke me?

The two people sitting on the ground looked at each other and then turned their heads away at the same time.

The word "miserable" cannot even describe their current situation!

"Where are your men?" the lame man asked, panting heavily.

The long-haired man looked around. It was already dark, and he couldn't see any markings on the trees or in any other conspicuous places.

After a three-second pause, he was indeed led away by the lame man.

"You think I have people guarding such a hidden exit? What are you thinking?" the long-haired man said casually, trying to cover up his own foolish mistake.

"By the way, long-haired guy, why is this exit located here? It's way too close to the main entrance."

The long-haired man paused for a moment, then said, "It wasn't me who left it; it was a way out left by those craftsmen. I just happened to know about it."

"Oh, by the way, do you have any money? Where are we going?" the lame man asked another hurtful question.

"Hey cripple, I've already taken you out of the Jing family. You still intend to blame me for everything?" The long-haired man stood up. "I'm leaving. As for you, you're on your own."

"Hey long-haired one, don't go too far. I'd risk my life for you."

"Can you walk?"

The lame man immediately put out the fire.

"If I don't go looking for them, will they come?"

The lame man fell silent.

"Hide well. If you get caught during this time, then you're out of luck."

The long-haired man patted his clothes, "I'm really not used to wearing this."

The cripple looked up at him and said, "It's really not appropriate for your men to see you like this."

"Do you have a solution?"

"Yes, but you have to take me with you."

"You can still walk?"

"No," the lame man said earnestly. "So, you have to figure something out."

The long-haired man looked around, then looked down at the cripple, and shook his head. "There's nothing I can do."

"You can squat down and carry me on your back," the lame man suggested.

The long-haired man nodded. "That's a good idea, but I disagree."

"I have money," the cripple said with a smile.

The long-haired man looked at him suspiciously. "Really?"

"Really." The cripple nodded firmly.

The long-haired man didn't even turn his head; he turned and walked down the path.

The lame man stared blankly as he walked away. Something wasn't right! He was rich; shouldn't the long-haired man be carrying him?

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Find someone to carry you. If you have money, pay for the labor yourself."

The cripple blinked. "Is that even possible?"

She immediately realized what was happening and tried to shake him off.

What good would it do if he were carried down the mountain? He couldn't move and would have a hard time leaving the Jing family's territory. If that person found out, they definitely wouldn't let him go. No, he had to have the long-haired man take him.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet," the lame man hurriedly called out.

"We can talk about it later." The long-haired man didn't stop; instead, he quickened his pace.

The lame man slumped against the small mound of earth, feeling rather annoyed.

He reached out and touched his body, and a small pocket appeared in his hand.

I opened it and looked inside, then chuckled to myself, "I never thought I'd actually need your help one day."

He sighed and put the pocket back. "Long-haired one, I'll wait for you tonight. After all, we've been through two life-or-death situations together, so I should give you some trust."

After descending the small, steep slope, the long-haired man soon arrived at the main road.

It was dark, making it difficult to spot any signs. The long-haired man didn't search carefully; he just needed to find someone to carry the lame man down.

He had no money before, so he had to do it himself, but the cripple said he had money, which made things much easier.

He really didn't intend to abandon the cripple. Firstly, he felt a little guilty towards the cripple this time. Secondly, they had all agreed to stay with Yu Meng from now on.

Third, the cripple and Yu Meng are relatively familiar with each other. Although he knows Yu Meng, it's clearly not enough. Also, regarding the current situation in the Alien Battlefield, will Yu Meng think he's the one who tricked her?

All of this requires someone to act as a buffer, and a cripple is just right.

As the saying goes, money makes things easier. After some twists and turns, a few men were indeed willing to go up the mountain with the long-haired man to pick up the person.

But the process was a bit tortuous.

I knocked on several doors, but no one answered.

Finally, one shop opened. After hearing his story, a man in his thirties looked at the long-haired man suspiciously. "You're really rich. In the middle of the night, if you dare to mess with us, you'd better think twice before you get down here."

"Brother, make her pay a deposit," another person in the room shouted.

The long-haired man gave a wry smile. "I don't have any on me, but I can give you double when it's light. Just make sure you bring the person down."

"If we don't go, who knows if it's true or not?" another person said.

The man in his thirties looked at the long-haired man again. "Are there really people on the mountain? What are you doing up there so late?"

The long-haired man smiled wryly. Well, he still had to make up a story.

Before he could figure out what to say, an old voice came from inside the house, "Shanzi, go and take a look. It's so late, and it's dangerous on the mountain."

"Dad, you're being kind again. We haven't even discussed the price yet!"

"He said he has no money right now. It's a life at stake, save him first. Take it if you give it to him, even if you don't, saving a life isn't a loss."

The long-haired man overheard their conversation and hurriedly stated, "I said I'd give you double, and I definitely will, but I'll have to wait until I find my family tomorrow."

A man in his early twenties came out of the house. "How much is double?"

The long-haired man laughed, "Name your price, and I'll double it."

"Really?"

"Give."

And so the long-haired man led the person up the mountain and brought them to the lame man.

"I thought you couldn't find anyone?" the lame man said lazily when he saw the long-haired man.

"I promise to pay them double, just remember to pay me back later."

"no problem."

And so, the three men took turns carrying the lame man down the mountain, and stayed at this house for another night.

As dawn broke, the long-haired man went out.

He quickly found the markings. Chen Ming was also clever; he left people at every marked location.

Having exchanged the code, Chen Ming quickly arrived. Seeing the long-haired man's attire, he had many questions but dared not ask further.

"Sir, shall we leave now?"

"Go pick someone up. By the way, do you have any money on you?"

Chen Ming nodded blankly. "I brought it. How much does sir need?"

"Prepare more, I don't know how much that family will want."

Chen Ming gave his men a wink, and they scurried away. He didn't have much money with him, and fearing it wouldn't be enough, he needed to send someone to prepare more.

"Sir, do you want the doctor you asked to bring along?" Chen Ming asked cautiously.

"No need this time, just find a few strong men who can lift people."

When the lame man saw the long-haired man leading people in, his heart finally settled down.
