Lin Yu sheathed his knife, knowing that he had to act quickly to save the child. If he delayed too long, they would surely be discovered. He grabbed the girl and swiftly dashed out of the dark barn. The rain poured down, and lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating their path. 0
 
The rain outside intensified, as if it wanted to engulf the entire world. Lin Yu's heart pounded like a drum as he nervously scanned his surroundings. They had to leave this place as soon as possible and find a safe hiding spot. However, just as they were about to leave, his gaze inadvertently caught sight of Xia Po's body. 0
 
 
Xia Po's body lay face up, staring straight at the dark sky, with a look of lingering anger and unwillingness in his eyes. Lin Yu didn't want the girl to see this scene, so he quickly covered her eyes with his hand, trying to protect her from the impact of these cruel sights. 0
 
However, the girl's voice was calm and firm: "Let me see grandpa one last time! Just one look." 0
 
 
Lin Yu felt a tremor in his heart, sensing the girl's determination and courage. His hand trembled slightly, but ultimately he let go, allowing the girl to look at her grandfather. The girl's gaze was fixed on Xia Po's body, filled with sadness and determination. 0
 
Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, the girl looked deeply at her grandfather, as if wanting to etch this final scene into her memory forever. Her tears slid down her cheeks, mingling with the rain, flowing silently. 0
 
 
"Okay, let's go," the girl said softly, a hint of relief in her eyes. She knew that this would be the last time she would see her grandfather, and this one look was enough. 0
 
Lin Yu nodded, filled with endless complex emotions. He took the girl's hand and quickly led her away from this sorrowful land. The rain beat down on them, mixing with sweat and bloodstains, leaving them feeling a chill. 0
 
 
Lin Yu lifted the girl and placed her steadily on his right shoulder, then took a deep breath and dashed forward several feet, moving at high speed. The rain kept beating on his face, mixed with sweat and blood, making his vision blurry in the darkness and lightning. But he had no time to care about these, relying only on instinct and intuition to move quickly through the woods. 0
 
Trees and bushes swiftly passed by him, and the muddy ground and rocks made the journey even more difficult, but Lin Yu still maintained an astonishing speed. He knew that he had to find a safe hiding place for the girl as soon as possible, or they would face even greater danger. 0
 
 
Lin Yu rushed forward and asked the girl, "Do you have anyone you know or trust in the city?" 0
 
The girl fell silent for a moment, as if recalling and thinking. Then she softly said, "The blacksmith... Uncle Zhang, in the street corner district of The capital." 0
 
 
Lin Yu nodded, remembering the information. He took a deep breath, his steps becoming more steady as he dashed towards the direction of The capital. He knew that this might be their only hope, and also their only choice. 0
 
The rain continued to pour, and Lin Yu's figure moved swiftly through the woods, every step filled with strength and determination. He had only one thought in his mind: no matter how difficult, he must protect this girl, find a safe place, and give her a future. 0
 
 
Lin Yu's speed made the girl feel a sense of surprise and reassurance. She gently grabbed Lin Yu's collar, her heart filled with hope and unease for the future. She knew that the man in front of her was her only reliance and her only hope. 0
 
"Uncle Zhang will help us," the girl said softly, as if comforting herself, "He is a good person." 0
 
 
Lin Yu nodded and didn't say much. He knew that the most important thing now was to quickly reach The capital and find the blacksmith named Uncle Zhang. As long as he could arrive safely, the girl would have hope and a new beginning. 0
 
Lin Yu ran quickly, his body weaving through the woods with light and powerful steps. Suddenly, he heard a burst of fireworks, and his heart tightened, but he didn't stop, continuing to run forward. He turned to look and saw a rocket being shot into the distant sky, exploding into a green cross symbol, the signal of the Shadow Guard. Lin Yu felt a sinking feeling, realizing that Li Mu and their pursuit operation had already ended, and time was running out. 0
 
 
He quickened his pace, with only one thought in his mind: he must enter The capital as soon as possible and find a safe hiding place. Fortunately, he had already reached the gate of the city. The night guards stood at the gate, their figures illuminated by dim lights. But for Lin Yu, passing through the front gate was not an option. 0
 
Lin Yu quickly scanned the surroundings and locked his gaze on the nearby high wall. He took a deep breath, held the girl tightly in his arms, and then dashed towards the wall. Lightly stepping on the slightly protruding surface of the wall, his body drew an arc in the air, swiftly climbing up the five-story high wall. 0
 
 
The rain beat down on his face, mixed with sweat and mud, but Lin Yu paid no attention. His hands tightly gripped the edge of the wall as he agilely flipped over it and landed steadily on the ground inside the city. The girl nervously clutched his shirt in his arms, her eyes filled with fear and surprise. 0
 
"Don't be afraid, we're safe," Lin Yu comforted the girl in a soft voice, quickly scanning the surroundings to ensure no enemies were following. 0
 
 
At night, The capital is quiet and peaceful, with only occasional lights and patrolling guards. Lin Yu knows that he must quickly find the blacksmith named Uncle Zhang to ensure the safety of the girl. 0
 
He swiftly navigates through the city, using the darkness and familiar terrain to avoid the guards' sight. He holds only one belief in his heart: no matter what, he must protect this girl and give her a safe future. 0
 
 
"In the city, how much further?" Lin Yu asked softly, still walking. 0
"Just around the corner in the street ahead," the girl replied, her voice tinged with hope. "There's a blacksmith shop there, it's Uncle Zhang's home." 0
 
 
Lin Yu nodded and quickened his pace. The street corner ahead gradually came into view. 0
