06 Killing

When he rushed to Cao Huan's side, he saw the little boy gritting his teeth and looking at her timidly with tears, "Sister Nanxing, it hurts." ”

You Xue sighed, squatted down to check the injury, and then breathed a sigh of relief, the child's left foot bone was not broken, only a slight bone crack.

While dealing with the injury, You Xue asked, "Tell my sister, how did you get injured?" You Xue looked Cao Huan up and down, she thought that the injury could not be caused by falling from a tree.

Cao Huan lowered his head when he heard this, and twisted his body not to look at You Xue.

You Xue caught a glimpse of the child's hands shrunk into the wide and shabby sleeves of her clothes, she was about to ask again, when the messy and hurried footsteps behind her sounded, it turned out that Cao Gui asked two hunters from the village to help carry the stretcher over, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, this Cao Gui is really really noble!

"Brother Cheng, big brothers. You Xue nodded hello to the two hunters.

The two hunters were young men who had not yet married their wives, and they were a little embarrassed when they saw the beautiful girl, and they also nodded in a friendly manner.

"Miss Nanxing, how is my son?" asked Cao Gui.

"The bone is not broken, depending on the extent of his injury, it should be a cracked bone, or injured cartilage and ligaments, I will ask Master to come over and take a look later. I've already put the herbs on him, and I'll go back to dispense the medicine for you later, and you can remember to come and get it. ”

Cao Gui breathed a sigh of relief, "Then when will he be able to work?"

You Xue couldn't help but be annoyed when she heard this, and said angrily: "If you still want him to give you a pension, let him live and raise him for two months!"

Cao Gui hadn't dealt with You Xue before, but he didn't expect this girl to speak so ugly, and he was also annoyed: "Hey, how can you talk about this little girl, if it wasn't for the people in our village who saved you, you would have been exposed to the wilderness!"

Although the two young hunters felt that You Xue's words were inappropriate, they still preferred to help the girl's family, for fear that Cao Gui would not agree with the girl's family, so they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, saying that it was important to send the child home first.

You Xue put away the medicine box, didn't bother to pay attention to Cao Gui, who was still jumping, but couldn't help but look at the child who was still tightly caged with his sleeves when he was put on the stretcher, and the red gold that flickered between the sleeves made her suspicious.

As night fell, the stars on the horizon were gradually shrouded in large dark clouds, and soon it began to rain.

You Xue cleaned up the yard, tiptoed to look at the still quiet and dark courtyard next door, and thought to herself, Could this old man Li be lost on the mountain? Obviously, this is just her cranky thoughts, if it is usually Aunt Qiong's presence, she will not think too much, but she feels that it has been a little strange in recent days, and she can't say the specifics.

The cold rain hit her face, and the silence of the room made her feel more and more uneasy, it was just an instinct.

She went out and picked up the medicine basket under the eaves and put it into the room, and saw that the medicinal materials that had been packed for Cao Gui's son on the table were still there, patted her forehead, and sighed speechlessly, how could there be a father like Cao Gui in the world, and blamed herself for having too many things on her mind during the day and ignoring this stubble.

She put thick oiled paper on her outer bread and walked in the direction of Cao Gui's house with an umbrella.

When You Xue passed by the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, she caught a glimpse of a black shadow walking briskly from the opposite direction out of the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

It's not that her eyes are too good, but that this person's fat figure really can't be ignored, and there is only Cao Gui in the village who is so fat.

The direction he walked was the way up the mountain, he was not at home to take care of his son, why did he go up the mountain?

You Xue carried the medicine bag in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and still followed the fat figure with light steps.

The rain gradually intensified, the raindrops hit the dense branches and leaves, making a rustling sound, the green mountains and forests during the day were shrouded in darkness at the moment, the shadows of the trees were longing, a black shadow shuttled between the trees, obviously as black as ink without a trace of moonlight, but the black shadow seemed to be very familiar.

The slender and small shadow behind him didn't dare to get too close, but in the blink of an eye, the huge shadow was nowhere to be found, but fortunately he could still be heard faintly humming and panting.

At this moment, a blinding lightning bolt pierced the night, followed by thunder and a torrential downpour.

At that moment of the light curtain, You Xue saw a terrifying scene.

I saw that through the lush branches and leaves, Cao Gui's red eyes not far away, holding a shovel high and waving downward, followed the direction of the shovel, lying a human body with blurred flesh and blood.

You Xue was taken aback, and the medicinal herbs wrapped in her hand fell to the ground, and the sound of landing was enough to attract Cao Gui's attention.

Cao Gui retracted his strength, clenched the shovel, and turned to approach in the direction of You Xue step by step, "Who! come out!" He took a few steps forward, stepped on something, and by the light of lightning, he could see the shape of the oil paper bag, and suddenly smiled: "Nanxing girl, I know it's you!"

You Xue hurriedly retreated and hid behind a huge old tree, she was not afraid that she would not be able to beat Cao Gui, but she was afraid that she would get into trouble under unknown circumstances, but now she had to ask out loud: "Cao Gui, you killed that person?"

"It doesn't matter if it," Cao Gui said coldly, "You people shouldn't be here, it will bring bad luck to our village!" he said, holding his breath as he approached the big tree, knowing that the girl was hiding there, with greed in her eyes.

Another bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating Cao Gui's fierce and hideous face at the moment, he saw the white corners behind the trunk, and approached quickly with a shovel, thinking that it would be good to knock her out first, and then take her life.

It's just that when he approached the shovel to shoot, a figure flew down above his head, and the object in his hand hit him directly in the head, Cao Gui was caught off guard, only to feel a sharp pain in front of him, his body involuntarily fell backwards, and the shovel in his hand also fell to the side, You Xue didn't give him a chance to breathe, quickly picked up the shovel, and saw Cao Gui struggling to get up, she took the shovel handle with her backhand and swung it at the back of his neck, and there was a 'bang', Cao Gui fell down in response.

I don't know if she fainted or was shot to death by herself? You Xue herself is not sure, she does not want to hurt people's lives, and the situation is unknown, and Cao Gui is not guilty of death.

She squatted down and tested Cao Gui's snort, fortunately, she estimated that she would wake up after a few hours, but she was afraid that she would get typhoid fever at that time, but she couldn't die.

You Xue took off the white blouse that was hung on the trunk of the tree to bewitch Cao Gui, and breathed a sigh of relief, she could climb trees, so when Cao Gui found her, she hung her robe on the trunk of the tree, and went up the tree at night.

She came to the side of the man covered in blood, the heavy rain had washed away the blood stains on the man's face, revealing a resolute man's appearance, looking at his facial features very handsome, but at this moment half of him was hit by a shovel, the bleeding was a little swollen, and his eyes were closed.

The tattered robe can still be seen to be a lot of fabric, and the pattern of the filigree trim can be seen clearly even in the dark night at this moment, although I don't know the identity of this person, I can see that this is a rich man, and a deep pit has been dug on one side, probably Cao Gui wants to bury him.

The person's breathing was weak, but fortunately he was still alive, and she checked the person's injuries, in addition to the flesh wounds all over the body, probably to the head, so he fell into a coma.

This is very troublesome, You Xue shook her head in distress, she didn't dare to move casually when her head was hurt, but if he was allowed to lie down like this, would he definitely die, save it or not?

She looked around blankly, saw the medicine bag kicked aside by Cao Gui, and had an idea in her heart.
