Chapter 189: Murder Night
As soon as Hu Xiaomei returned to the house, there was a knock on the door outside, she opened the door, and Sister-in-law Qin was standing outside with a basket.
"Sister-in-law Qin, come in and sit."
Sister-in-law Qin entered the house and said with a smile: "I'm busy today, why did I only come back now?" ”
"yes. Fortunately, when I went out of the city, I just caught up with the gate of the city, and it was too dark on the way back, so I walked a little slowly. ”
"Safety is important." Sister-in-law Qin said: "You must not have eaten yet, so keep it for you." With that, Sister-in-law Qin opened the basket, and there was still steaming food inside.
"Oh, thank you so much, Sister-in-law Qin." Hu Xiaomei said with a smile, and immediately said, "I'll take a bowl for Thirteen." ”
"You girl is worried about Thirteen, and she has already left it for him. Eat these for yourself. Sister-in-law Qin laughed and teased her.
"I know that Sister-in-law Qin, you must be thinking about thirteen." Fox Xiaomei looked at Sister-in-law Qin with a smile.
Tonight's dishes are very rich, a meat dish, a vegetarian dish, and a soup.
"It's the chief steward's order, you run both sides every day, and the meals are made separately."
Presumably, Wei Yu must have instructed the chief steward, and it seems that his method is still effective.
After working all afternoon, I came back at this time, and I was hungry early, so Hu Xiaomei took the bowl and began to eat.
Over there, Thirteen sent Fox Xiaomei back to the courtyard and slowly returned to the outer courtyard alone. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a servant brought him food.
“…… It was Sister-in-law Qin who kept it for you. ”
Thirteen thanked him, washed his hands with water, and then began to sit down and eat slowly. Thirteen and Yang Wu slept in the same room.
Yang Wu saw that Thirteen had been going out of the farm with Hu Xiaomei to help in the sewing workshop for the past few days, and he had a few turns in his heart. Although he just went to help with the help, the sewing workshop is different from the farm, and the eldest prince can be seen from time to time, maybe one day he will be in the eyes of the eldest prince, and then he will be transferred out of the farm. Working under the eldest prince is not only high, but also decent, who doesn't want to.
Therefore, every day when the thirteenth came back, Yang Wu pulled him to ask questions, and always asked the thirteenth to help him say good things in front of the eldest prince. Let him go out with him. Say what. They are on the farm together, and it is also appropriate to help each other.
Thirteen replied to him every time: "...... We just listened to the instructions of the chief steward of Wei, and we spoke lightly in front of the eldest prince, and I couldn't do anything about it......"
Yang Wu thought he was arrogant. Deliberately not helping. So. When he came back today, Yang Wuli ignored him. By the time Thirteen finished eating, the sound of Yang Wu's snoring had already sounded in the room.
Take the food box to the kitchen. Thirteen went to Gong's room again, and a dim lamp was lit outside Gong's room, and it took Thirteen a quarter of an hour to come out of it. He came out and went straight back to the house, and then the lights went out.
Weifu Farm is located in the suburbs, one mountain after another, the dense forests on the mountains are one by one, and it is dark at night, and you can't see anything clearly. As long as there is a wind, you can clearly hear the wind whistling in the outer courtyard.
Today the sky was cloudy, and the day was full of dark clouds, and it did not rain at night, but the night wind was poured. The leaves of several large trees in the courtyard were blown and whirred, and the leaves were falling in the wind, and there seemed to be a black shadow on the fork of the tree. The black shadow seemed to grow on the fork of a tree, and it did not move. I don't know how long it took, but the black shadow finally moved.
The black shadow slowly stood up and turned into a tall figure, the night was too dark to see the appearance clearly, only a pair of eyes glowing coldly in the darkness. Suddenly, the shadow jumped down from the fork of the tree.
He landed silently, as light as a swallow.
The dark shadow stood in the darkness and stared at the row of houses in the courtyard, and finally fixed his gaze on one of the rooms, and he quietly walked outside, and felt a short thing like a bamboo tube from his bosom. Then he poked a small hole in the paper window with his finger, then put the bamboo tube into the hole and blew lightly into the house. A strange fragrance permeated the room.
The black shadow did not enter immediately, he waited outside the door for a while, and made sure that the people inside had fallen asleep, then he drew a knife that was neither long nor short, inserted it into the crack of the door, and with a light prie, the door opened.
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of the black shadow's mouth, this kind of thing was easy for him.
I think he flew around in the Forbidden City back then and no one found out!
The night wind blew away the dark clouds, and at some point, the moon peeked through the clouds, and the door of the house was wide open, and the hazy moonlight shone on the man standing in the doorway, who was dressed in black, with a mask on his face, and judging by his figure, he was a tall and sturdy man.
There were two people lying on the kang in the house, completely unaware that someone was coming in.
The man in black slowly walked to the side of the kang, raised his hand to light the fire fold in his hand, and the face of the person in front of him was immediately clear, and he frowned, it was not what he was looking for.
Moving to the other person, the person on the kang has slightly dark skin, upright facial features, and thick black eyebrows, and at first glance he is a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The man in black has a cold look in his eyes, and he has finally found you!
He raised the short knife in his hand, and the flickering light of the fire fold reflected on the blade, and the dim light of the fire glowed with coldness. The man in black twisted his eyebrows tightly, his eyes burst out with resentful murderous intent, and he shouted in his heart: Little brother, big brother is finally going to avenge you!
Suddenly, the person lying on the kang opened his eyes violently, and the deep and waveless black eyes were as deep as a thousand-year-old pool, which made people tremble when they saw it, and the pupils of the man in black shrank, and the movements of his hands froze.
At the same time, Thirteen had already deftly rolled over and got up, grabbed the wrist of the man in black and threw it hard, and the man in black was thrown out and hit the wall, and the sound of the bang woke up the people next door.
The man in black reacted very quickly, ignoring the pain in his wrist, he immediately stood up, and looked at Thirteen more and more coldly: "It turns out that you don't have a fan." "The voice was a little hoarse, as if something was stuck in the neck and talking.
Thirteen's big black eyes narrowed dangerously: "Where have I seen you?" Although he couldn't tell if he knew this person, as soon as he heard the voice, he immediately felt familiar, and it was a feeling that disgusted him.
"Humph! It looks like you've turned into a fool. The man in black gloated and smiled: "However, this is fine, after killing you, there will be no worries about the future!" ”
Thirteen's heart sank, and a thought flashed through his mind, as if he didn't want to explore and find out his identity. But no matter what kind of life he wants in the future, the person in front of him can't be left.
As soon as this thought came out, he couldn't help frowning.
Killing people and selling goods seems to be a very common thing in his heart?
All kinds of thoughts flashed in a hurry, almost just a breath of time, he had already made a decision, and his hands and feet were faster than his brain, and he had already taken the lead in hitting the man in black with a palm, and the man in black didn't seem to be a vegetarian, and his dexterity flashed. The two took over, secretly attacked, demanded their lives, and all kinds of deadly tricks were dodged by each other.
Thirteen didn't want to wake up the others, so he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and after a few rounds, the man in black was finally forced into the courtyard by Thirteen, and at this time, a light was lit in a room.
The man in black glanced at Thirteen, turned around and flew out of the courtyard wall, and Thirteen followed closely and chased him out.
Then the door opened, and the man looked left and right at the door, and found nothing, muttering that he had misheard. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he found that the house of Thirteen and Yang Wu was wide open. He walked over with an oil lamp to take a look, and found that the stool in the room had been knocked over, and Yang Wu was lying on the bed and was asleep, and Thirteen was not in the room, but his futon was still hot to the touch. He called Yang Wu a few times, Yang Wu was still sleeping deeply, and when he didn't wake up, he thought that maybe he would go to Shanggong's room on the thirteenth, so he kindly closed the door gently and went back to his own room.
Thirteen chased the man in black out of the outer yard, chased around the farm a few times, and the man in black saw that he couldn't get rid of Thirteen, turned around, and walked towards the front yard where Fox Xiaomei lived. Thirteen's face changed drastically, and the two fought again in the front yard.
Fox Xiaomei didn't sleep deeply, she woke up as soon as there was movement in the yard, at first she thought she had heard it wrong, and then listened to it for a while, and found that there was indeed a sound in the yard, so she turned over and took a self-defense thing in her hand, and just lit the lamp and regretted it, the thief in the yard didn't know when the lamp was on? When I thought about being robbed at home in Hujia Village, it was better to light the lamp. In this era, there is no strict legal system to talk about, and it is common for people to kill people without paying for their lives.
Scare away the thief and save his life.
At the time when she was so distracted, the movement outside was gone.
Hu Xiaomei quietly opened the door, it was dark outside, and there was a person standing under the steps, and when she looked at it, it was Sister-in-law Qin.
"Sister-in-law Qin, why are you? I thought there was a burglar in the yard? Hu Xiaomei said in surprise.
Sister-in-law Qin saw that Hu Xiaomei also came out, so she said, "You heard it too?" I also heard the voice before I came out. ”
"Oh, I thought you were the one who made the noise in the yard just now." It turned out that Sister-in-law Qin had also heard the noise in the yard earlier, and Fox Xiaomei had already walked out, but she didn't see anything after she came out.
"If you heard it wrong, don't worry about it, you can also come into the house and lock the door." Sister-in-law Qin advised.
When Sister-in-law Qin entered the house, Hu Xiaomei swept left and right in the yard, and also entered the house, she was just about to close the door when she heard a noise in the yard, the sound was very light and thin, but she still heard that it should be the sound of someone climbing over the wall and falling to the ground.
She froze, slowly crouched down, and then slowly stuck her head out from under the door, and before she could see the movement in the courtyard, a pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of her.
Thirteen chased the man in black out of the farm, the road in the suburbs was rough, there were many paths, and there were trees and jungles to cover, and after a while, the man in black disappeared, and he stopped after chasing a section according to his own judgment.
Since the man in black can find himself, he didn't succeed this time, and there will be a next time. But next time, he wouldn't let the man run away so easily. His current situation is unknown, and following Hu Xiaomei every day will definitely cause her trouble, but he is not at ease if he does not follow Hu Xiaomei. Thinking that the person just now couldn't escape and ran into the courtyard where Hu Xiaomei lived, the meaning was obvious, that is, to tell Thirteen that he knew Hu Xiaomei.
Suddenly, Thirteen thought of something, he turned around and ran towards the farm, jumping over the wall and jumping over the courtyard all the way, directly back to the courtyard where Fox Xiaomei lived. (To be continued.) )
