Lin Mo was an abandoned baby found by Chen Ma at the entrance to an orphanage. Frail and sickly from childhood, he was raised by Chen Ma, who stayed by his side night after night and fed him one mouthful at a time.
Lin Mo leaned against his pillow, his face pale. He parted his lips, wanting to say, "There's nothing I can do," but what came out was, "I can't stand by and let them hurt you." Zhou Lei froze, every reproachful word caught in his throat.
Scrape... scrape... In the suffocating silence, the sound of digging stopped. Lin Mo heard the rustle of someone kneeling and kowtowing, accompanied by a mutter full of ignorant fear. "Heavens above, I've never done anything this wicked in my life. The guilty should answer for their crimes..."
Beneath the bright moonlight, at the edge of the dense woods near the distant foot of the mountain, a shadow was racing up the hillside at incredible speed! It seemed to ride the wind through the treetops! It was still far away, but its speed and inhuman way of moving made Lin Mo's hair stand on end!
Yang Ying naturally reached out with both hands and clasped Lin Mo's right hand. "Brother Lin Mo..." She gave the hand she was holding a little shake, her voice soft and sweet, full of coquettish affection.
"You really think the general will see you?" The monkey-faced man suddenly asked again, a hint of probing in his voice. Lin Mo raised his head, his gaze resolute. "He will. You only need to tell him my name."
Lin Mo watched the patch of darkness grow larger before his eyes and felt the rules of death within it, something beyond his understanding. Just as that deathly finger was about to touch him, a figure resolutely and without hesitation stepped across, standing squarely in front of Lin Mo!
