When Xia Xiaohua came back in the evening, Murong Ye had already left, and Xia Chan was sleeping in the house alone. Along the way, Xia Xiaohua listened to the gossip in the village, and her heart was anxious. I regret it even more, why can't I resist Erya's persuasion to go home. She now felt distressed when she thought that Erya was lying alone on the bed and helpless, and she had to deal with so many people's questions.

Along the way, he drove the ox cart back to Xia's house at the fastest speed. When he opened the door and saw Xia Cicada lying on the bed unharmed, his hanging heart calmed down a little. Turning around and putting the things he brought from home in the kitchen, he slowly walked to the bed, looked at it carefully, and sighed softly

"Erya, what do you mean by this? You say that you are so kind and never hold grudges with others, but why do you always encounter some bad things. Why the hell is that? The eldest sister looked at you lying like this, and comforted me all day long, and it was really uncomfortable in my heart. The eldest sister hopes that you can be coquettish with the eldest sister, and tell me that you hurt there and feel uncomfortable. Is it wronged on the outside. Instead of trying to support this family, any hardship and grievance will be swallowed in the stomach. Lianxiang's girl is pitiful, but the eldest sister knows that this matter must have nothing to do with you. This time you have been wronged again. Xia Xiaohua lifted Xia Cicada's cheek with a loving face, tears slowly crossed the corners of her eyes, and when the choked voice was about to overflow, she quickly covered the corners of her mouth with her hands and turned around and walked out of the room.

Xia Xiaohua walked out of the door of the house with her front feet, and Xia Cicada slowly opened her eyes. Turning his head to look at the door, a hint of emotion crossed his eyes. Soon he closed his eyes again.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The heavens seem to feel the turmoil of tonight, the weather is still sunny during the day, and at night it is cloudy, and the whole sky is pitch black. I can't see my fingers. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the most thief time.

Back on the hill, inside a dilapidated thatched house

"How's it going?" A man in a black cloak turned his back to the man behind him, and his voice was hoarse, I don't know if it was a deliberate cover-up, or if the voice was unique.

The man kneeling on the ground, head bowed. His eyes were staring straight at the ground

"Back to the master's words. Things went very smoothly, and Aunt Niu's words made almost everyone in Xialiang Village believe that it was Xia Cicada who made a fool of Lianxiang. If her subordinates go to Xia's house again tonight, I believe that tomorrow everyone will only think that she committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

"Suicide in fear of sin?" A gleam flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, "Okay." That's a good idea. Then do as you say. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." After the man in black finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the thatched house, and the black-robed man in the thatched house disappeared into the night in an instant. The night returned to its former calm. It's as if the scene never happened. 、

County office, study

Shout. A dagger flew into the room from the window and stuck it on the wall behind Murong Ye. Seeing this, Murong Ye immediately stood up, quickly rushed to the window, pushed open the window and looked out. Seeing that it was dark outside and there was no one, he turned back suspiciously. Glancing at the dagger on the wall. Step forward and pull out the dagger. Take the note off the dagger. After opening the note and taking a quick glance, his face instantly darkened. When Murong Ye came back to his senses, he turned around and yelled at the door

"Come on, prepare the horses."

Murong Ye rode his horse and galloped all the way. Several officials also rode horses and quickly followed behind Murong Ye. Along the way, Murong Ye felt for the first time that Xialiang Village was so far away from the county seat. Even though his horse was a good horse, at the moment, he was too slow.

"Horses, hurry, hurry. If something really happens to her, I'm afraid I won't forgive myself for the rest of my life. "Why did he come back just now, he should have stayed. knew that there were so many people around her, but he didn't stay by her side in the end. Murong Ye would be extremely annoyed. The speed of the horse whip is getting faster and faster, and the servants who follow him are all miserable, what is the matter with my lord today, first appeared in front of them with a stern face, and let them ride out without saying a word, now is this not going to get along with the horse, or can't get along with them. Oh, it's almost killing them.

The night is getting darker and darker, and everything is quiet. Xia Cicada lay on the bed, her eyes closed, listening carefully to the movements around her. This action seems to have been developed after the assassination that night. Time passed little by little, and there was the sound of the wind and the rustle of branches and leaves outside, and I couldn't hear the same, Xia Cicada felt a little unwell, and slowly twisted her neck, intending to change her movements. Suddenly, there was a strange bird call outside. Xia Cicada was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked through the window. I saw that the branches that were still rustling just now did not move at all. Such a familiar scene, a trace of nervousness flashed in Xia Chan's heart. That night was the same as this night, and then several people in black flew in through the window, and now, it was also the same scene, but tonight, she was like a fish on the board, and there was no other way but to struggle. It's just that Xia Cicada slowly turned her head and looked at Xia Xiaohua with a worried expression. No matter what, she can't let the eldest sister have trouble.

Xia Chan raised her eyes, took a closer look at the things in the room, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then raised her hand to wake Xia Xiaohua up, and was worried that Xia Xiaohua would scream because of her fright. He covered her lips while seeing Xia Xiaohua wake up.

"Sister, it's too late to explain. You quickly get up and get dressed, and then hide under the bed. Wait until whatever happens, don't say anything, and don't worry about me. ”

Xia Xiaohua is not stupid, in the middle of the night, Erya has a stern face, something big must have happened. Think about what Erya said a few days ago. There was a panic in his heart, he raised his eyes to look at Xia Cicada at a loss, and shook his head quickly. Tears flowed from the bottom of his eyes

"Eldest sister, think about brother-in-law, think about the plug, Dabao. They can't leave you. What's more, the target of those people out there is me. As long as I'm here, you'll be fine, but if I hide, you'll be in danger. Eldest sister, I'm already very guilty about my father's mother's affairs, so don't let me feel guilty again this time, okay? ”

After Xia Chan finished speaking, without waiting for Xia Xiaohua to speak, and not knowing where the strength came from, she pulled Xia Xiaohua back with force, and with difficulty took the clothes on the side and draped them on Xia Xiaohua's body. Pushed Xia Xiaohua out of bed

"Erya, you must live. Be sure to live. Otherwise, the eldest sister will never forgive you in this life. ”

Xia Chan looked at Xia Xiaohua with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, I will try my best not to let anything happen to me." Because I can't bear to ......... you and Dabao" (To be continued.) )
