Chapter 91: Rescued
No wonder Zhang Shao dared to let her alone in the warehouse, it turned out that even if she broke free from the rope, it would be absolutely impossible to escape from this warehouse.
Ran Qiunian felt a burst of despair in her heart, but she pulled herself together and tried to stay calm, just like Xiao Yin, she would never give up easily under any circumstances.
Thinking of Xiao Yin, Ran Qiunian had some strength in her heart, she believed that her eldest brother would definitely come to save her after finding out that she was gone, and what she wanted to do was that before that, she must not give up first.
After cheering up, Ran Qiunian looked around and found that the surrounding area was blocked by a mountain of large boxes, and from the inside, the four walls were built to death, there was not even a single window, and the door was locked again.
For Ran Qiunian, this warehouse has become a veritable cage. She looked back at the door, and pulled down through the crack with the bloodied arrow in her hand.
The sound of metal colliding made a piercing sound in the quiet night, Ran Qiunian smashed it twice, and could only reluctantly admit that although her sleeve arrow arrow was sharp enough to deal with the grass rope, it was a bit "outnumbered" against the big iron cable, which was also made of fine iron.
She was secretly anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but start calculating the time when Zhang Shao would go out first, although he was temporarily stumped by Zhang Shulin, he would come back sooner or later, the time would definitely not be too long, she had been delayed for so long, and there were not many opportunities left for her.
Just as Ran Qiunian was thinking hard about how to go out, she heard footsteps outside, the sound was very soft, if it weren't for the quiet enough around, Ran Qiunian's nerves were extremely tense, I was afraid that she wouldn't feel anyone approaching.
Could it be that Zhang Shao came back first? Ran Qiunian was shocked, his pale face listened to the movement outside at the crack of the door, clutched the only self-defense weapon in his hand, and hid behind the door, just waiting for the moment when someone pushed the door in, and made a last fight with his sleeve arrow.
"Nian'er, are you in there?"
A familiar voice came in from outside, Ran Qiunian's eyes widened, and she recognized the owner of this voice at once, and the sleeve arrow in her hand subconsciously loosened and fell to the ground, making a clear sound.
The person outside the door instantly followed the sound and approached, pulled the iron lock at the door, and asked in a deep voice, "Nian'er, is it you?" ”
"It's me, big brother, are you here to save Nian'er?" Ran Qiunian felt the joy of salvation in hindsight, her tone was a little excited, and she suddenly came to the crack of the door, and said through a door to the figure who couldn't see the face outside.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was not enough, so she turned around and reached the candlestick on the table, Zhang Shao left in a hurry and forgot to take the only light source in the room away.
Ran Qiunian raised the candlestick and walked back to the door, approached the faint candlelight to the door, and said to Xiao Yin outside the door through that little light: "Big brother, I'm here, but the door is locked, and I can't get out." ”
"Don't be afraid, stand back, I'll break this door."
Xiao Yin saw that Ran Qiunian could still run and speak, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief, he waited for Ran Qiunian to signal, then luckily broke the door all of a sudden, walked into the house, and saw Ran Qiunian standing not far away.
"Nian'er, are you okay?"
Xiao Yin took two steps closer, and from the dark place, he walked into a halo of light sprinkled by the candlestick in Ran Qiunian's hand, with a caring look on his face, which made Ran Qiunian feel extremely relieved.
Although her face was pale, she still shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, the eldest brother came in time, and Nian'er didn't suffer any grievances." ”
Xiao Yin followed the shaking candle flame and found Ran Qiunian's bloody wrist, his expression changed, and he stepped forward and grabbed Ran Qiunian's wrist, but he controlled his strength and did not hurt her injury.
With his other hand, he snatched the candlestick, held it in front of his eyes, approached Ran Qiunian's wrist, and noticed the freshly turned wound and the blood that had not yet fully coagulated, Xiao Yin's face was very ugly.
"Zhang Shao hurt you first."
There was murderous intent in his tone, but Ran Qiunian didn't feel terrible, because although this killing intent was caused by her, the spearhead was pointed at the person who hurt her, and Ran Qiunian only felt extremely relieved.
"Zhang Shao tied me up first, and in order to break free from the rope, I didn't pay attention to being cut by a sleeve arrow for a while."
Ran Qiunian didn't want Xiao Yin to worry too much, so she still told the truth.
Just when Xiao Yin thought that Ran Qiunian's heart had softened, he listened to her words, gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother must not let go of Zhang Shaoxian's wolf-hearted villain this time, after catching him, I will dismantle him in eight pieces." ”
Although Ran Qiunian just said cruel words, his disgust and hatred for Zhang Shaoxian were real.
"I will never let him go."
Xiao Yin's expression was cold, he quickly clicked on a few acupoints on Ran Qiunian's wrist to stop the bleeding, and then tore off a piece of clean cloth and carefully wrapped it around Ran Qiunian, temporarily bandaging the wound.
Ran Qiunian took the candlestick from Xiao Yin's hand, looked at Xiao Yin, whose eyebrows were full of seriousness, the candlestick in her hand moved slightly, and then fell to the ground, and the next moment Ran Qiunian threw herself into Xiao Yin's arms uncontrollably.
Xiao Yin subconsciously caught Ran Qiunian, and his hands were in the air, a little surprised.
The candlestick fell to the ground, and after two rolls, the bean-sized candle was completely extinguished, and the room was dark again. The moonlight was blocked outside the house, and the two people who were trapped in darkness could not see the expressions on the faces of the people opposite.
Ran Qiunian just felt that Xiao Yin's two hands, which were originally in mid-air, were gently placed on her back, patting her back, and silently comforting her.
I don't know how long it took, Ran Qiunian's hot mind finally returned to calm, realized that he had made a bold move, and quickly withdrew from Xiao Yin's embrace, blushing a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, it was night, and he was not worried that the shame on his face would be seen by Xiao Yin. She coughed lightly, and said a little uncomfortably: "Big brother, let's go quickly, Zhang Shao was called out by Zhang Shulin just now, and I don't know when I will come back." ”
"He's not coming back for a while."
Xiao Yin's tone was still the same as usual, Ran Qiunian couldn't see the expression on his face, and couldn't tell if his mood had changed, so he had to hold back his somewhat uncalm heart and pretend to listen to Xiao Yin's words seriously.
"Big brother must have seen him when he came?"
Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief, although Zhang Shaoxian hadn't done anything to her yet, the shadow left on her heart was lingering, and now it still made her feel a little afraid.
"He was taken away by Zhang Shulin, and most of them have already returned to the inn."
Xiao Yin's expression gradually cooled down, just now he was in a hurry to find Ran Qiunian, and he didn't care about cleaning up Zhang Shaoxian.
But this time, he will definitely not give Zhang Shaoxian any chance to hurt Ran Qiunian, as long as he returns to the inn, he promises not to let this person come out of the death row of the official mansion again.
"Then let's go back quickly."
Ran Qiunian pulled Xiao Yin and walked two steps, and suddenly remembered something, and stopped.
"By the way, big brother, I almost forgot to tell you that this warehouse is where Zhang Shaoxian stole iron ore. This warehouse is full of rough iron ore, that guy, with the idea of transporting these iron ores back to Splendid City, there must be something strange behind this! ”
Ran Qiunian's words also made Xiao Yin think, his eyes had been in the dark for a long time, and he had been able to adapt a little, and he had a general understanding of the surrounding environment, he pulled Ran Qiunian with one hand and walked towards the nearest wooden box.
Seeing Xiao Yin's plan, Ran Qiunian also followed obediently, hearing Xiao Yin's movement of opening and closing the box, he didn't ask Xiao Yin what he had done, and after hearing him say that he could leave first, he followed Xiao Yin out of this warehouse with great trust.
"Big brother, where are we going next? Do you go to the inn to arrest Zhang Shao first, or ask someone to seal up this warehouse first? ”
Although Ran Qiunian was also exhausted, she still couldn't help but start worrying about the next things, she muttered a few words, but listened to Xiao Yin say to her gently:
"Go back to the inn first, whether it is arresting or seizing people, some people are in a hurry to do it. You don't have to worry about this, go back to see the wound first, have a good night's rest, and it's not too late to talk about anything tomorrow. ”
Ran Qiunian couldn't help but blushed and nodded, it was the first time she had heard such a gentle voice from her eldest brother.
But soon she couldn't help whispering: "There is also Brother Qiubai, it was Zhang Shaoxian who killed him, but fortunately, I heard him reveal that Brother Qiubai had escaped, and even Zhang Shaoxian didn't find a trace." I'm afraid that Brother Qiubai is injured......"
"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to find Qiubai, after sending you back to the inn, I will go to Zhang Shulin to ask for clarification, and it seems that he doesn't know anything about this matter."
Xiao Yin touched Ran Qiu's thoughts: "I think he is a person with a bottom line, and I believe he will tell us everything he knows." Qiubai will be fine, don't worry too much. ”
Ran Qiunian nodded, she knew that she must be very embarrassed now, even if she had the heart to help, she couldn't do anything, so she could only go back and rest first, and then think about other things.
When they returned to the inn, Zhang Shaoxian had also been arrested by Qi Ruoyun, who arrived later, and those in the caravan were also arrested.
"Sister Nian'er, are you okay?"
After Qi Ruoyun heard the news of Ran Qiunian's return, he immediately rushed back, just in time to see Ran Qiunian being served by the tearful Qingxi to finish freshening up and come out with clean clothes.
He was relieved to see that Ran Qiunian was not too hurt except that his face was still a little pale and his two wrists were bandaged with white cloth.
"Don't worry, the Zhang Shaoxian who hurt you has been arrested by me, and now he is locked up in the magistrate's prison waiting to be arraigned. I heard that you also found a large amount of smuggled iron ore in the caravan's warehouse in the southern suburbs, and all the people in the caravan were arrested. ”
Qi Ruoyun said that the life and death of those guys who were arrested by him and were likely to be all involved for the crime of smuggling iron ore were like mentioning a trivial matter.
Only when the name Zhang Shaoxian, who kidnapped Ran Qiunian, was mentioned, he showed a little coldness.
