Xiao Han used her index finger to lift up the man's chin slightly, looking at his bloodied neck and nearly severed fingers, and made two tsk tsk sounds.
"Tsk tsk...Too cruel...Bled to death from a slit throat! It must have happened just before we fell down here!"
Xia Miaomiao looked over his attire: "The clothes he's wearing don't look cheap!"
She plucked up her courage to squat down and feel the fabric at the man's waist: "Fine silk satin, with intricate embroidery work. He must have been from a wealthy household around here."
Xiao Han felt quite uneasy being stared at by the dead man's unclosed eyes. She tried to pull his eyelids down but they wouldn't budge.
So she grabbed some leaves off the ground and simply covered his eyes.
"Sorry uncle, it's not that we didn't want to save you, it's just that you were too far gone already!"
"Xiao Han, let's get out of here quick!" said Xia Miaomiao as she stood up. "We need to find Xuexue and the others first and foremost!"
Xia Miaomiao really didn't want to face a corpse in the dead of night after everything that had already happened that day. It was all beyond her comprehension!
They had to find Xuexue and the gang fast, and figure out a way to get back to their own world!
"Yeah."
Just as the two girls were about to leave, sounds suddenly emanated from behind them.
"Search carefully! The sounds came from over here!"
Hearing the voices, Xiao Han's face lit up: "People are here! We can ask them about the situation and maybe beg them to put us up for the night!"
"Hey! There's a dead person over here, come quick and take a...mmpf!"
Xia Miaomiao quickly covered her mouth, but it seemed too late.
"There are sounds over there!" Several men holding torches came running over.
Seeing the two girls dressed so oddly, the man leading the group in gray robes looked them up and down curiously.
Xia Miaomiao was wearing a very ethereal, lady-like dress, loosely fitted but with a bubble top and short sleeves.
Her honey brown hair was lightly permed, tied up in a big fluffy bun.
Xiao Han on the other hand wore tight fitted jeans and a knitted tank top.
Although dressed simply, her waist-hip ratio suited jeans perfectly.
Her hair was just tied in a casual low ponytail, medium in length, no perms or dyes, no particular styling.
"Brother, brother!" Xiao Han casually went up to the man in gray and grabbed his arm.
"You came at just the right time, there's a dead person over there!" Xiao Han pointed to the area behind them.
The man in gray silently glanced at Xiao Han's hand on his arm, then withdrew it.
He then turned to his men and instructed: "Go take a look!"
Two of them walked over while Xia Miaomiao couldn't help taking a few steps aside.
"It's old Master Bai!!!" one exclaimed in horror as he turned to look at Fang Qing.
"What?!" Fang Qing immediately rushed over.
Feeling old Master Bai's wrist for a pulse, his pupils shook violently.
He's dead!
Fang Qing clenched his fist tightly. "Hurry to the Bai residence and inform Uncle Fu!"
"Yes!" One man immediately ran off.
