The Man In Black

Bai Jinyao got up from the ground and looked at the pheasant that was still flapping its wings not far away. It seemed to be tired of running away from her. She gritted her teeth and pounced on it.

In the blink of an eye, a sharp arrow flew out of nowhere and shot directly at the pheasant on the ground.

Bai Jinyao, who was about to pounce on the pheasant, heard the sound of a sharp arrow. She also saw the arrow coming toward her.

She was so frightened that she quickly dodged.

Fortunately, she dodged in time. She was not hurt by the arrow and the arrow pierced through the pheasant's body.

In an instant, a few drops of warm blood from the pheasant flew onto Bai Jinyao's face.

That burning hotness gave Bai Jinyao goosebumps.

She had seen other people kill pigs and chickens before, but this was the first time she had warm blood on her face!

"Miss, are you alright?"

An unfamiliar man's voice sounded. Bai Jinyao raised her head in embarrassment and saw a man in black clothes and a black mask standing there, looking at her.

Bai Jinyao was kind of shocked

This man looked like an assassin. This was clearly the night suit she had seen on TV.

"I'm fine."

Bai Jinyao got up from the ground and dusted off the dirt and leaves on her clothes.

The man in black asked again, "Miss, are you a villager living at the foot of the mountain?"

Bai Jinyao didn't know who this person was, but when she saw that he was wearing a night suit, she became a little wary.

Hence, she said half-jokingly, "My relative lives at the foot of the mountain. What's wrong with that?"

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I shot an arrow at this pheasant was that I happened to see you catching it."

"It looked kind of hard for you, so I decided to help you."

As the man in black spoke, he bent down, pulled out the arrow from the dead pheasant and handed it to Bai Jinyao.

"You found this pheasant first, so it naturally belongs to you."

Bai Jinyao scratched her head and did not immediately take the pheasant.

"How can I take it? You caught it with your arrow. If you didn't do anything, this pheasant would have escaped. It should belong to you."

The man in black chuckled, "You don't have to be so polite. I actually live in the mountain, so it's very convenient for me to get one of them. Miss, you should take this pheasant."

"In the future, you might come to the mountain again. At that time, if you catch more animals than you want, you can give some to me then."

Hearing this, Bai Jinyao took it.

"Alright. Appreciate it."

The man in black said casually, "That's fine. You don't need to be so polite. I wonder if I can ask you a question?"

Bai Jinyao smiled and nodded. She knew that the man must have his purpose.

"I want to know if you have heard that someone saw an injured man on the mountain a few days ago. Or have you heard that someone saved that man?"

As soon as the man in black said this, Bai Jinyao was kind of shocked.

"An injured man? I don't think I've heard of it. I've only been at my relative's house for a few days, so I haven't heard them mention it."

"Is that injured man a friend of yours? You seem to be very anxious."

The man in black seemed to be a little disappointed. He then said, "Right. He's my friend."
