The two carriages slowly drove forward, looking at the dust raised around, Ye Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, the day was finally over, and she could go back to her room to rest.

Forehead.

But when Ye Xiaoyu returned to the shop, when she saw the two boxes of pastries missing from the counter, she found with resentment that the day was not over.

The Lin family's share should have been taken away just now, and what was left behind was probably a pastry for the Zhou family. Today's matter is over today, while they haven't gone far yet, Ye Xiaoyu walked quickly to the backyard and took Xiaobai out, planning to ride it to chase the Zhou family's carriage, and then give them the gift box, so as not to go again tomorrow.

Although there is a night market in Rongzhou City, but in the night of winter, there are still few pedestrians on the street, and there are few people who come out to play.

So now on the street, there are almost only the two carriages of the Zhou family and the Lin family still running.

The reason why they use "almost" is because these two carriages are not the only ones on the street, and a dark shadow has been following them for a long time since they came out just now.

"Hou Ye Lin, after seeing the face of your Hou Ye's family, it is not bigger than ours......"

Two carriages were walking side by side, and from one of them came such a voice.

"That is, where will anyone have more face than Zhou Da Rich, but it's a pity that other girls don't buy it."

Lin Wushou replied unwillingly.

Although it was very shameless to be rejected in person, when he thought that the Zhou family was the same as himself, his heart instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Huh. It's so late, let's go straight to the north road, shortcut, faster. ”

Lin Wushou was talking with Zhou Yifu in the carriage next to him, and said to the driver who was driving.

The road to the north, although a little more remote, is much closer than the other roads, and you only need to turn an alley to reach the Lin Mansion.

"Brother Lin, is there really anyone in this world who is not greedy for wealth and affection? The matchmaker said that I didn't believe it yet, but today I have seen it. ”

Sit in the carriage. Zhou Yifu's face was incredulous.

No matter how good the family affairs are in my hometown. Supporting death is a rich man in the mountains, how can he compare with the two of them, but this Ye Xiaoyu is bent on her hometown, and directly refuses the glory and wealth that has been placed in front of her. What kind of mindset is used to make such a decision? It made him puzzled.

It doesn't matter what she thinks. But. This man is indeed a businessman. ”

Lin Wushou glanced at Lin Zucheng, who was sitting next to him with a silent face, and said in a loud voice.

The Lin Mansion was located in front, turning the small alley in front. It's almost there.

The night was too dark, the carriage was moving very slowly, and the wheels were grinding against the bluestone pavement, constantly making the sound of "wheeling and turning".

The shadow followed the way, and at this point made a shortcut, stopping at the junction in front of him, just in time to block the way of the two carriages. 、

The sudden figure made the coachman so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the reins, and the horse was frightened and raised his front hooves. There was a lot of chaos ahead, and the carriage was no better, and there was a jolt that almost caused the person sitting inside to fall to the ground.

"What's wrong?!"

Lin Wushou asked loudly while holding on to the handle of the carriage.

"Old, sir, there was a ...... in front of me Person? ”

The coachman was flustered, and the surroundings were dark, and he squinted for a long time before he could barely recognize that it should be a person standing in front.

"Isn't it just a person? It's not a ghost, how can you be scared like this? Hurry up and move on! ”

Zhou Yifu was also knocked to the ground by this sudden sudden brake, and now listening to the coachman next door say this, he couldn't help but be angry.

"But, but that, that man, he stood in the middle of the road......"

The coachman's voice trembled a little.

"What the hell is this ......"

Before Zhou Yifu could poke his head out, a sudden gust of sword wind overhead lifted the roof of his carriage.

Subconsciously turned his head and found that the carriage Lin Wushou was sitting in next door also suffered this fate.

"Bold rebel! Even our Lin family's carriage dares to move?! ”

After the fright, Lin Wushou's voice became louder.

The black shadow stood there, as quiet as a stone statue, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Lin Zucheng shouted angrily while helping his father get out of the carriage.

"Who sent you? If you want money, just follow us home and get it, there's no need to be rude. ”

Next to him, Zhou Ming and Zhou Yifu also got off the carriage.

The two coachmen quickly stood to the side.

There is no one on this street now, and the men in black blocking the front are unidentified, and their current situation is extremely dangerous.

"This good man, we really don't have any money with us today, or else, I'll write you a note, and then you can just ask us with this note. I Zhou Yifu is a good talker, and this account will definitely be recognized. ”

Looking at the man in black, Zhou Yifu said bitterly.

"Yes, yes, Zhou Da's method is good, I can also write you a note."

Lin Wushou hurriedly agreed.

"No money."

After a long silence, the man in black finally spoke.

"Huh?"

"And what do you want?"

"As long as we have it, we will definitely give it to you."

The crowd began to panic.

A cold wind blew, bringing up the confetti scattered on the ground, fluttering and sprinkling, which looked even more terrifying in the dark night.

"Life."

The hoarse voice, mixed with the whistling sound of the cold wind, reached the ears of the four people together, and before everyone could react, Zhou Yifu, who was standing next to him, was slashed in the shoulder and right foot.

"Daddy!"

Zhou Ming shouted in fright.

"Pick the old man, what kind of hero are you!! I have the ability to let my father and Limber go, and we will come out and do it alone! ”

Zhou Ming was hoarse, but the man in black didn't buy it. saw a shadow flash, and Zhou Ming's whole person was thrown out.

"Ming'er—"

Zhou Yifu collapsed on the ground, holding his shoulders with his hands, trying to resist, but found that he couldn't even stand up.

"I'll go deal with that man, you can find a gap and go back......"

Turning his head and muttering to Lin Zucheng, Lin Wushou casually picked up the broken wooden block on the roof of the carriage, and smashed it his back while the man in black was concentrating on dealing with the Zhou family's father and son.

But the man in black turned around when the plank was still half a foot away from him, and directly grabbed the plank with his hand. and quickly dodged Lin Wushou's kick with his right foot. After the two twisted around a few times, the plank was thrown out by the man in black.

Although Lin Wushou spent time in the army when he was young, he led his soldiers to fight in the south and the north, but this was all twenty or thirty years ago. A long life of comfort and abundance. Not only to make his body blessed. It also made him almost forget how to fight with people empty-handed, and coupled with his age, he hadn't fought a round with the man in black yet. He was almost unable to hold on.

That being said, but the combat experience accumulated in the early years still helped him at a critical moment, just when the man in black wanted to knock him down directly, Lin Wushou quickly flashed around with the help of the power of the carriage, and quickly gave the horse a kick in the stomach. The horse was frightened and began to break free of the reins and run out.

The frightened horse rushed towards the man in black, he could only dodge the horse's attack first, and when he turned around again, Lin Wushou directly punched him.

Although the fist was too fast to dodge, the man in black still quickly moved to the side, so the damage to him from this punch was almost zero, but it gave him the opportunity to hit Lin Wushou directly to the ground with a backhand hook.

The chest was hit hard, Lin Wushou couldn't get up from the ground, he seemed to hear the crisp sound of bones just now, and it was estimated that his ribs were broken.

"Daddy—"

Seeing this, Lin Zucheng, who was about to run, quickly ran back and pounced on Lin Wushou's side.

"Who the hell are you? Why can't you get along with us?! ”

Lin Zucheng shouted.

"I'm fighting with you—"

Zhou Ming, who was thrown into the distance, picked up a stone beside him and rushed directly towards the man in black.

But before he could rush halfway, he tripped over the wooden stick that the man in black picked up with his foot and fell.

"You two can go."

The man in black said to Zhou Ming and Lin Zucheng, who were on the verge of collapse.

"And what about my father, where are you going to take him?!"

Lin Zucheng yelled.

The man in black didn't answer, but in an instant, he had an extra dagger in his hand.

The bright blade of the blade, in the dark night, infects people's fear even more severely.

With a dagger in his hand, the man in black slowly approached Lin Wushou and Zhou Yifu who were lying on the ground. Because of the heavy blow to his chest, Lin Wushou had already fainted, but Zhou Yifu was still conscious, and when he saw this situation at this time, he couldn't move if he wanted to run, so he could only shout loudly.

Unfortunately, this is a road that is not even passed by many people during the day, and there are no people around, so even if you shout through your throat, you can't be heard.

"Stop—"

Lin Zucheng knelt beside Lin Wushou, and when he saw the man in black walking towards him, he quickly rushed towards him.

It's a pity that the man in black just raised his arm and bounced him out.

Dying in a coma is the least painful way to die.

When approaching the man lying on the ground, the man in black hid the dagger in his sleeve, and then held a small packet of medicinal powder in his hand, which is a highly toxic poison with no antidote, as long as it touches the human mouth, it can be fatal. But this is also the most painless poison, like falling asleep, colorless, tasteless, desireless.

The man in black squatted down beside Lin Wushou and reached out to open his mouth wide.

"I'll fight ...... you"

As soon as Lin Zucheng approached, he was once again flicked out by the man in black.

"Dad, I'll help you, let's go quickly......"

Not far away, Zhou Ming tried his best to help Zhou Yifu, who had broken one hand and one foot, from the ground, and wanted to sneak away while the man in black was dealing with Lin Wushou.

"Stop, stop!! ――”

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from a distance, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, breaking the terrifying atmosphere here. (To be continued......)
