21. Episode XXI
Out of fear, Bai Xin's pupils suddenly constricted.
Her pupils were deep, like a whirlpool in the abyss, and in an instant, the eyes of the water narrowed, and the water was turbulent.
Bai Xin was not frightened by the situation in front of her, she had learned women's self-defense, and even knew some taekwondo, which was not as fast as the police's swift and leopard-like arrest methods, but there was still no problem in self-preservation.
It's just that An Hui has a knife in her hand...... It's a conundrum.
Bai Xin had already made the fastest reaction, and rolled to the left, and before he could retract his arm, he was slashed by An Hui.
"Click, click."
Soon after, the sound of blood dripping to the ground was heard, mixing with the strong fishy smell and irritating her nasal passages.
Bai Xin sensed the sharp pain, she gritted her teeth, and her sideburns were covered with light sweat.
She began to panic and took a few steps back, looking for a place to defend.
Sometimes, the enemy is not the most terrible, but the fear of man.
Obviously, two people are the same height and the same gender, but because one of them has a knife in his hand and is fearless when attacking, the other person can easily be defeated and give in.
Bai Xin remembered the book he had read before, and Lu Xun once said a sentence - "The brave are angry, and they draw their blades to the stronger; The cowardly are angry, but they draw their blades against the weaker. โ
And Su Mu also said that the reason why the murderer killed people was because he was more afraid of death than the victim, so he killed people in order to protect himself.
It's like An Hui, who only dared to make a sneak attack, and only dared to do such a cruel thing to her, but she didn't dare to confront Su Mu and these people head-on.
That is to say, she pinched Bai Xin as a soft persimmon, thinking that weak women would always be afraid of death, and she vented her anger at being exposed to the truth.
Bai Xin chuckled, sure enough, An Hui is a coward, the most cowardly person.
No matter what grievances she had with Yu Xinyao, she had already lost half of what she had done and admitted her defeat.
"What are you laughing at?" An Hui walked over, the tip of the knife in her hand was facing the ground, and there was a little blood on it, which gathered on the tip of the knife, and it was shaky.
"You think you'll vent your anger by killing me before I'm arrested?"
"Do you need a reason for me to kill you? Miss Bai? An Hui sneered and pounced on her, trying to seal her throat with a blade.
Bai Xin's brows furrowed, forming a ravine. She held back the pain, held her breath, and avoided the fruit knife with her waist strength and agility.
At this time, Bai Xin raised his hand and pulled a mop, his wrist was facing up, holding the tail end, and facing the enemy in a fencing posture.
She has never been afraid of fighting with others, but she hasn't started it for a long time, and her skills are rusty.
"Miss An, you attacked me just now, so you reluctantly let me be stabbed." Bai Xin said, "If you have a weapon, you won't use it, even if it's a gun, it's just scrap metal in your hands." And those who have really learned combat or fencing can defeat the enemy even with a mop. โ
An Hui seemed to see that Bai Xin was good at swordsmanship, but she only felt bad, holding the fruit knife and going into battle head-on.
"Click."
The mop in Bai Xin's hand resisted An Hui's frontal attack, stuck on the metal rod with the mop, and made a crisp hit.
An Hui used both hands, the green tendons on the back of her hands exploded, and it took a lot of effort to press Bai Xin to the ground step by step.
It's not good, you can't let her be suppressed on the ground.
In this way, it will be difficult for Bai Xin to show his skills, and the fruit knife is suitable for melee attacks, which will only allow An Hui to take advantage.
When it was too late, Bai Xin stepped up and kicked up, hitting An Hui's lower abdomen, kicking her aside and stumbling a few steps.
An Hui seemed to be in pain, bared her teeth, and rolled to the ground at once.
She couldn't lift her breath, she gasped, and the fruit knife in her hand slipped to the ground due to the loss of force.
And Bai Xin took the opportunity to handcuff her hands and wrists, and only then did she escape from the danger of nine deaths and breathe a sigh of relief.
Outside the house, there was a loud thunder and heavy rain, like a curtain of water droplets, flashing white light, little by little.
In the dense forest, thousands of silver filaments were blown by the wind.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
Bai Xin went to open the door, it was Su Mu and Zhou Xiao who were drenched in soup.
Afterwards, she went to the kitchen to take out disinfectant, cotton and bandages, and simply cleaned the wound.
Bai Xin's wound was still bleeding, due to the large range of movements before, the arm was tight, and the wound was open, and I didn't know how many bacteria were contaminated on the periphery.
She rubbed her scratches with alcohol as she bared her teeth and sore the tip of her nose.
"White Heart."
When she heard someone calling, she raised her head suddenly, her eyes were on the dazzling chandelier, and her nasal sour cavity was so sour that two lines of tears rolled down at once.
It turned out that Su Mu was standing at the door.
Su Mu stood by the door, his clothes were soaked, and the tips of his hair were dripping. His original light-colored clothes were stained with mud and looked wolf-bรจi.
He was nearby, and the fresh smell of rain came from his body, mixed with the long-lasting smell of shower gel, which was obviously ordinary, but it made people attached.
Maybe just now, Bai Xin was really scared.
So when she saw Su Mu at this time, she also forgot about being set into a trap, but relied on him a little, the tip of her nose was sore, and she couldn't stop it.
She wanted to cry again, but I don't know if it was because of pain or because of fear.
Su Mu took a tissue, handed it to her, and touched the hot tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she was using action, awkwardly and bluntly hinting to her, stop crying.
Bai Xin didn't bother to pay attention to him, he didn't hold grudges, she remembered.
So, she spoke politely, with a professional smile, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su, I have tissues." โ
Su Mu heard the change in title, and his eyes were blocked by wet lenses, and he couldn't see clearly.
It's just that he pursed his lips and slowly retracted his arms, like a child who asked for candy and was refused.
I don't know if it's the illusion of Bai Xin, Su Mu looks pitiful at this time.
His glasses were covered with rain, and he didn't have time to wipe them, so his first reaction was to hand her a tissue.
Mr. Su, he ......
Bai Xin shook her head, she was almost going to be deceived by this person again.
This man is selfish! He's a megalomaniac!
This time, the countess incident was Su Mu digging a pit and pushing her to jump, if she hadn't been alert, she would have died a long time ago.
He nearly killed her.
Therefore, how could Bai Xin forgive him lightly because of his momentary gentleness.
And the case has also been solved, and from now on, she will have nothing to do with him.
And in the mint case, Su Mu did risk his life to save her, although he had his own purpose, but anyway, he also rushed to save people as soon as possible.
Bai Xin was entangled in his heart, and whispered: "Mr. Su, mint candy that time, thank you for coming to save me." I'll pay for the repair of your car, and the medical expenses from the last time can also be calculated for me, and I'll pay you back together, after all, I hurt you in vain. โ
As long as the last loss is repaid, Bai Xin will have a clear conscience and can draw a clear line with this person.
She sighed secretly, put down her sleeves, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Su Mu again.
Su Mu glanced at her, and only said lightly: "I know that you have learned swordsmanship, as well as taekwondo. โ
He explained that there was a reason why he had let her lead the snake out of the hole by herself before signaling.
Bai Xin listened, but did not answer.
"The thick calluses on the sides of your palms and index fingers indicate that you have been holding the hilt of a sword similar to an armor-piercing sword for a long time, and it can be seen that you have learned swordsmanship. And the first time I performed it, I reached out and wrapped my hand around your shoulder, and I could feel the strength of your muscles, which means that you have done certain exercises, and combined with your usual movements and reactions when you are stressed, you can deduce that you have learned self-defense fighting techniques such as taekwondo. โ
What he said was reasonable, but unexpectedly, this man had been observing her.
Su Mu expected that she would have the means to escape, so he let her go like this?
"What's more, I'm proficient in โกโก. The door had been damaged, and even if it was closed again, it would be difficult to trap people. But I didn't know that she would be quicker than I thought, and if you're not alert, you'll probably die in the room before I arrive. โ
See, he finally told the truth.
Bai Xin didn't complain in her heart, even if Su Mu said so much, she still had palpitations, what if she didn't dodge those pull nails? Wouldn't she just die in it?
"With such a low probability of survival, you can still survive death. It can be seen that today is your LuckyDay. โ
Bai Xin laughed and said, "In my LuckyDay, I was almost shot in the head, and my arm was scratched by a fruit knife. โ
Su Muliang's thin lips were pursed into a slit, he lowered his eyes, and whispered: "I apologize, in fact, in this matter, I also have an oversight." โ
"Huh?"
Bai Xin was stunned, was it her delusion? Can this megalomaniac still have the time to admit his mistakes?
"I overestimated my running speed, and the murderer was able to escape back here."
Bai Xin was speechless: "......"
In fact, she understood that the reason why An Hui fled back to take revenge was because it was located in the deep mountains, there were no vehicles, and it was unrealistic to escape. She can't escape, so it's better to rush back and fight to the death.
But like Su Mu - from the scene of the crime to start chasing the murderer, the person did not chase, and the other party could escape back, make up the knife to the relevant personnel, and then be arrested.
Maybe he's the only one, and the only one.
Bai Xin was helpless, but he also knew that anything could happen to this person.
Her position is so unfirm, she can't be angry for two seconds.
Therefore, after he explained, Bai Xin planned to forgive him, saying: "Then next time, this kind of thing will be left to the police." โ
Su Mu had no objection: "Okay." โ
Bai Xin paused, remembered something again, and suddenly asked: "You are so poor at sports, how did you pass the physical education exam in the previous high school entrance examination?" โ
"I used academic theories to explain to the doctor that my leg anatomy was not suitable for more intense exercises."
"So what?"
He checked and found that it was fine. But at my insistence, he suggested that I might as well break my leg before the exam and give up the PE exam, which I did. โ
Bai Xin glanced at Su Mu and found that there was no color on his face, and even took it for granted.
So, she tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled politely.
Very good, Mr. Su, you won.
