Chapter 407: Danger
Chapter 407: Danger (Page 1/1)
In the shabbyly furnished wooden house sat a middle-aged man with a faint whitish beard.
Seeing him for the first time, Xiao Jing immediately had a delusion: Is this the person who knows the news of Wan'er's parents, or is he a bitter master with grievances and no way to sue the official?
No wonder he thinks so. This person seems to be born with a bitter appearance, and when his face is expressionless, his facial features are almost twisted together, no matter how you look at it, he looks bitter and hateful.
However, this impression immediately changed: when he saw Xiao Jing enter the house, his whole person smiled, and his sad face instantly dissipated without a trace.
"Your Excellency, please take a seat." He walked up quickly and moved a chair for Xiao Jing, and said earnestly: "The villain heard what you said to the Hun family." You're here for Miss Wan'er, right? Wife, go and cook wine, I want to entertain guests today! ”
The woman answered outside and hurried away. The man stood under Xiao Jing, rubbed his hands and said, "Your nobles have worked hard all the way, there is nothing to entertain in the mountains and wilderness villages, so don't laugh." Since you're here, sit down and take a breath first, the mountain road is difficult, but don't get tired. ”
Xiao Jing arched his hand and said: "Don't be restrained, please sit down, Xiao is not a big person, so he can't serve you like this." ”
The middle-aged man sneered: "Where is this, since you heard the news, you think you are a friend of those nobles, of course the villain must serve with all his heart." ”
Xiao Jing smiled dumbly.
These two people are Shengdou Xiaomin, and they have never been in contact with any official figures, so it is reasonable to see a person who looks like a son and treat him as a baby.
He smiled and asked, "You're welcome." I don't know if I can tell Xiao about Wan'er's parents?
Chatting and chatting, the time for a meal passed.
Xiao Jing gradually felt that something was not quite right.
The middle-aged man in front of him was very enthusiastic and his attitude was extremely respectful, but he ...... He kept going around and around to talk about homely things, but he never mentioned Wan'er's parents, every time Xiao Jing talked about this topic, he had to talk about him left and right, and then divert the topic to another place.
Why is that?
Xiao Jing gradually became vigilant.
Interviews have always been dangerous. He had heard of or experienced such and such dangers in his previous life, and he had a certain sense of the hidden crisis.
Now, Xiao Jing only felt that his heartbeat was a few beats faster, as if something was disturbing his heart, making people feel restless in the dark.
Father-in-law Zhang took the initiative to find and provide clues to Wan'er's parents, and there is an overly enthusiastic couple here, and the two are still delaying time intentionally or unintentionally...... Everything seems like nothing special, but when you think about it, it's a little strange.
Problematic!
Thinking of this, he quietly chatted with the middle-aged man for a long time with a stick of incense, got up and said with a smile: "There is a lot of trouble today, thank you for your hard work." Xiao remembered that he still had something to do, so he said goodbye first and came back to ask you for advice another day. ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture to go out, but before he could take a step, the middle-aged man grabbed his arm and said, "Don't worry, Childe, you're here, why don't you sit for a while?" ”
Although it was only for a moment, Xiao Jing did see a trace of panic and a hint of fierceness flashing in the other party's eyes.
"No, Xiao still has a lot of companions outside, don't let them wait in a hurry." His face was still calm, and he said, "Your kindness is understood, let's change the day." ”
The middle-aged man still held on to him, and said with a smile: "There are many things that nobles have to pay attention to, where can they be busy in one day or two?" Since you're here, why don't you have to eat before leaving? ”
Xiao Jing said calmly: "Some things will be bad if they can't be done, and some things will be bad if you do too much." Xiao is not a capable person, so he can only do more important things first, and please atone for his sins. ”
The middle-aged man's face suddenly showed anger, and a pair of iron tong-like hands clenched Xiao Jing's arms tighter, and said angrily: "If the son leaves now, he will look down on people!" Although the villain is just a country man, he can't be humiliated like this! ”
The last smile on Xiao Jing's face also disappeared. He said calmly, "What if I have to go? ”
The middle-aged man's hand was even harder, as if he wanted to wring a piece of meat off Xiao Jing's arm. He couldn't care about the disguise anymore, and said with a cruel smile: "I can't say it, the villain has to keep the son!" ”
As he spoke, he instantly put down his strength and tried to press Xiao Jing to the ground.
Who knows, Xiao Jing is no longer a weak scholar today. Before the middle-aged man's strength could be used, Xiao Jing's arm that was not grabbed was handed over with a reverse elbow, and he had to instinctively let go of his hand.
Although President Xiao Da only learned some superficial kung fu from Lu Shanshan and the Xia family's guards in his spare time, it is more than enough for famous teachers to produce high-level apprentices, and occasionally use them for self-defense.
"Where to go!"
The middle-aged man's demeanor has completely changed. If he was a simple and simple country man just now, then at this moment he is like a beast that has been hungry for a long time before he sees a delicious prey, and anyone who looks at him will be afraid and eager to flee from this monster that is almost about to be devoured.
He rushed behind Xiao Jing in three steps and two steps. It can be seen that this person should have good skills when he was young. It's a pity that he is already old.
said that it was too late, Xiao Jing turned around slightly and kicked back with lightning speed, which happened to hit the middle-aged man's lower abdomen with a sweep of his afterglow, and he suddenly fell backwards with a muffled snort.
Seeing that he came to the door, Xiao Jing reached out to push the door, but who knew that the door did not move...... Someone is coming up against the door from the outside!
In desperation, he could only slam into the wooden door. One, two, three......
Fortunately, the wooden door has long been in disrepair, and the things outside against the door can't stop the force of the collision at all. After a few hits, the entire door shattered, and large planks fell to the ground outside.
Xiao Jing looked back at the middle-aged man who was shaking to his feet, and his short body got out of the big hole in the door.
Get out of here as soon as possible and join the guards!
That's what he thinks, but the reality is very skinny. As soon as I stepped out of the door, there was a terrible sound of breaking the air.
Xiao Jing secretly said that it was not good, but there was no space around him for him to move around. In a single breath, the stick smashed on the back of his head, and the rich colors and scenes in front of him were instantly enveloped by endless darkness, and all consciousness gradually disappeared from him.
At the last moment when the sound could still be heard in my ears, I only heard a woman shouting sharply and full of joy: "Lord, I have caught him!" ”
The woman's eyes shone with a sickly red, cruel, violent and bloodthirsty color. Of course, Xiao Jing couldn't see it.
Soon, two more screams drifted into his ears.
After that, his world fell silent completely.
