Chapter 246: Friend or Foe
The other party did not show any unpleasant expression because of Ruoshui's sharp words, but replied very indifferently.
"The arrow before these people came in made it clear that they wanted people's lives, and the most vicious people don't need to be appeased."
Ruoshui shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal to Lu Li's answer. After all, they still saved the lives of their whole family, and it is not good to show their suspicions too much at this time.
In the middle of the night, the smell of blood in the room was full of blood, even if the window was opened, there was no way to get rid of it for a while, and in desperation, Ruoshui and his godmother and younger brother were crowded in a corner of the bed, covering a bed of broken quilts, listening to the cold wind of the winter night passing through the hall, making a whistling sound.
This time, without Ruoshui opening his mouth to rush, Lu Li and the others also left the house silently, disposing of those intruders by the way, and didn't know where to take people, and promised that they would never enter without telling them again.
Ruoshui didn't care about their assurances, because she had already decided not to sleep tonight.
There were no more uninvited guests for the rest of the night, and the three of them were vague until dawn, when a knock on the door that was not hurried but powerful sounded, waking Ruoshui from a half-asleep state.
"Who~"
Ruoshui replied in a daze.
"Miss Xiao, it's time for us to hit the road."
Ruoshui opened her eyes when she heard this, and suddenly found that the sky outside was already bright, and the sunlight was shining through the window, and her eyes were almost unable to open.
Oops! It's so late!
Ruoshui hurriedly climbed out of bed, sorting out his messy and wrinkled clothes. woke up Xiao Yong and his godmother.
After seeing that the godmother's spirit was not bad, Ruoshui was somewhat relieved, glad that he had not delayed the godmother's illness because he had slept for a while.
Because there is no sleep per se. Therefore, the clothes were all neatly dressed, Ruoshui quickly called "Come in", and then heard a tooth-aching "squeak" from the door of the house, and Lu Li came in.
"The carriage is ready to stop, please go on the road with the girl and your family~"
"Sister...... I want to clean the house......"
Ruoshui didn't have any objection to Lu Li's urging, but Xiao Yong seemed a little reluctant. When he got out of bed, he stared at the large dark red stain on the floor. The brow is furrowed.
Ruoshui was afraid of scaring him last night, so he covered his eyes until he fell asleep, and woke up in a daze this morning. I forgot about it. Fortunately, there was only a puddle of blood left on the ground, which was much less impactful than last night's shocking scene.
This is Xiao Yong's home, and it is also the most important part of his memories of his parents, and Ruoshui understands his current mood very well. So even if you want to buy medicine, you are in a hurry. But he still decided to help him at least dispose of the blood stains on the floor first.
"Wait a minute~ Let's clean up the house first."
Ruoshui turned his head to look at Lu Li, his expression a little apologetic. However, the other party only glanced up, and then ordered a few words to the subordinates outside the door, and then said to Ruoshui.
"The house will be cleaned by my men, now let's ask the girl to go on the road~"
"Why do you seem to be more anxious than I am?"
Now Zi Ruoshui woke up again, it stands to reason that she should be the most anxious person who is in a hurry to buy medicine for her godmother, but in fact, Lu Li is even more eager than her to want her to leave quickly. Of course, she wouldn't think that Lu Li was just in the same mood to help Xiao Yong. For she had just clearly seen the impatience that flashed in his brow.
"Master Zhang has confessed that if you find Miss Xiao's relatives. Bring people back as soon as possible. ”
Lu Li lowered his head and deliberately hid the sparkle in his eyes, refusing to even give Ruoshui a chance to observe his words and feelings.
“…… Okay, let's go. ”
Ruoshui was silent for a while, feeling that there was really no need to worry about this person in such details, and she herself was also more urgent, so in the end she decided to do everything that needed to be done first, and then settle the account with this person.
Of course, excluding Lu Li's tepid and annoying attitude, his efficiency is still worthy of praise. The blood stains in the house were washed away by several people who came back with water after a while, and even the messy tables, chairs and benches were neatly placed, and some of them were really unusable, and they were all carried out of the house and piled up in the corners of the yard.
Things have come to this point, Ruoshui really has nothing to pick and choose, she had to pull Xiaoyong out of the door, and Lu Li personally hugged Ruoshui's godmother and got into the carriage directly.
"My chicken—"
As soon as he went out, Xiao Yong saw his precious chickens, which had been loaded into the brand new chicken coop one by one, and the flatbed car where the chicken coop was placed was also new, and it was obviously just bought today.
"What are you doing here?"
Ruo asked about water quality.
"My brother didn't sleep all night, so I went to the county town early in the morning to buy these, so as not to let Miss Xiao do it herself."
The typical answer is not what is asked, in fact, Lu Li clearly knows what Ruoshui wants to ask, but he has to talk about him left and right, Ruoshui narrowed her eyes, she felt that these people were getting more and more wrong. In fact, there were signs early before, but only because they were personally brought by Lord Zhang and sent to Ruoshui, and repeatedly assured that these people were his old subordinates, Ruoshui didn't doubt them too much, but at this time, it seems that it is impossible not to doubt.
"We still have to go to the county seat to buy medicine, isn't it a little inconvenient to take these chickens with us now?"
Ruoshui didn't get angry immediately, but asked again tentatively.
"The medicine has been decocted, and you can feed the eldest lady after you go on the road."
Sure enough, Lu Li had already prepared everything with an expression, and pointed to a small casserole on the table, which he had placed on the table when he entered the door in the morning, but Ruoshui didn't have time to ask what it was for a while.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Doesn't Miss Xiao know? We were sent by Master Zhang~"
Lu Li suddenly raised his head and showed a weird smile at Ruoshui, this time he didn't hide his gaze at all, but looked straight at Xiao Yong under Ruoshui's arm, and he shrank for a while, and hid behind Ruoshui.
This is a threat in the red fruit!
Lu Li's eyes are clearly telling Ruoshui, if you are disobedient, your brother and godmother are here, and none of them can escape! (To be continued......)
PS: Does anyone want to know who Lu Li is?
