Chapter 32: Assassination

To say that Qi Lichen is also a beautiful young man, but only when he is not smiling, the sneer looks charming, and he is very uneasy in the matter of laughing, and laughing makes people panic.

Qi Lichen smiled, glanced at Bai Ye lightly, his cold eyes made Bai Ye chuckle in his heart, Qi Lichen took half of the sugarcane water on the table, and said lightly: "It's been too much for you to give face recently?" ”

That look looked like a knife, Bai Ye swallowed his saliva, and silently stepped aside to clean up the shop.

The feather duster swept away the almost undetectable dust on the top floor of the cabinet, since the opening of this candy heart pavilion to the present, Bai Ye has gone from the initial resistance to the current cleaning of the road, Bai Ye feels distressed for himself when he thinks about it.

If Luo Qing'er knew that the noble pavilion master in her mind was sitting in front of the counter and was a collector, she was afraid that her liver would be angry.

Qi Lichen held the bamboo tube and looked at the sugarcane water in the bamboo tube, for some reason, he was always a little uneasy today.

Xi Duyun ran out of the Sugar Heart Pavilion and regretted it before he left the city gate. The misty weather is not terrible, the terrible thing is that the hazy weather occurs in winter, and the biting chill invades the body with water vapor, and the heart is biting cold.

When I left, I ran in a hurry, and I didn't put on a cloak or anything, and I couldn't stop much rain with an oil-paper umbrella.

The mist rushed in all directions, Xi Duyun was shivering with the umbrella and his hands were frozen red, this was still the case in the city, but it was even colder in the mountains, Xi Duyun trembled and came to the sugarcane forest, his legs were already frozen.

There is only one sugar pavilion in the market, Xi Duyun, who operates a sugarcane business, and both original and processed products are in short supply.

Most of the sugarcane fields have been cultivated, but these sugarcanes must all be cut off before the snow, otherwise when the snow comes, all these sugarcanes will not survive, it is better to cut them all down to make brown sugar, which can be sold for a whole year.

Wait until the beginning of spring to start selecting seedlings and planting, and when summer comes, they will definitely sell well. Xi Duyun exhaled a breath of white air, saying that an autumn rain and a cold rain, this directly came a winter rain. There was a puddle of water on the edge of the sugar cane field, and something shone in the water.

Xi Duyun sniffed and leaned over to look, but her foot tripped over the sugarcane leaf on the ground and leaned forward.

Just as Xi Duyun fell down, a knife slashed into the air, directly cutting off the oil-paper umbrella in Xi Duyun's hand. The canopy smashed into the puddle, splashing up a circle of muddy water, and Xi Duyun breathed sluggishly, and plunged into the sugarcane forest without looking back.

Before Xi Duyun "relied on" himself to know taekwondo, he had never softened his waist in front of Li and Xi Laoer.

But Xi Duyun has always been self-aware, her kung fu can only deal with ordinary people at most, and if she meets someone who can light her internal strength, she will die. Xi Duyun brushed aside the messy sugarcane leaves and ran all the way forward, wondering who was going to kill him as he ran.

However, after racking his brains, Xi Duyun couldn't come up with a reason, and he didn't seem to have offended anyone.

The second Xi who had offended was dead, and Xi Duyun thought about it, and he could use a killer to take her life, most of which was related to Qi Lichen.

It is easy to hide in the sugarcane forest, and the movement of stepping on the sugarcane leaves is the easiest to reveal where you are coming from.

Behind him is a killer who is in hot pursuit, and this place is barren and wild, and if you want to save yourself, you can only rely on yourself. Xi Duyun ran to the position of the tuyere and stopped, hiding in a hidden place to slow down his breath.

The man in black couldn't hear the footsteps and stopped, the wind and rain in the mountains were miserable, and the twilight clouds were coldly clustered, but in the current situation, he didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and for the first time he experienced what it meant to be stormy.

"Boss, what should I do?"

The black-clothed man at the head narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hidden under the black scarf hooked: "Find out the person and kill it on the spot!" ”

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, a sound of horses' hooves sounded on the periphery of the sugarcane forest, and the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, stopping at the edge of the sugarcane forest: "People are in this forest, search for me!" ”

The sound of the coming person penetrated the wind very far, and just listening to the sound made people feel that this person must be extraordinary.

When the black-clothed men heard the movement, they all squatted down in the sugarcane forest, and the black-clothed men led by them signaled their subordinates to wait and see what was happening, and everyone held their breath and stared at the movement outside.

This place is deep in the mountains and old forests, and it is not unusual for someone to be hunted down and killed. However, the group of people who came outside came on horseback, and there were not a few people who listened to the sound of horses' hooves.

"There is an order from above, as long as you find someone, no matter if you are really unsure, you will be killed, and it is better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go!"

The man's voice carried traces, either a thief who killed people without seeing blood or a battle-hardened general, in short, it was not easy to provoke.

"Yes!"

When the man gives the order, the subordinates should say in unison. I only heard the sound of the ice blade coming out of its sheath, and it seemed to be close to my ears when it was in harmony with the wind.

The black-clothed people are full of people, and the other party's origin is unknown, so their assassination should not be blatant, not to mention that the confrontation may not be able to win.

"When you come, you command, if there is a change, don't force it, withdraw!"

The man in black led by him glanced at his subordinates, and the sound of searching approached from the front, and the man in black hurriedly accelerated his speed and retreated from the other side.

The man in black and his party appeared suddenly, seeing that the wind turned the rudder and walked away without dragging the mud and water, Xi Duyun was worried that those people would notice, and it took a tea time to stop her breath, her ventriloquist was the second time to save her life.

Since these people were dispatched, they naturally had some ability, and Xi Duyun was worried that they would turn back, so he didn't dare to stay, and ran all the way in the opposite direction to them.

It was getting dark in the winter, and it was already dark when Xi Duyun ran to the bottom of the mountain. She couldn't see the road ahead, but she didn't dare to stop.

She didn't know how many times she had walked the road from the village to the mountain, where to turn and where there were pits, Xi Duyun remembered it clearly, but she was still very afraid, the wind poured in from the placket of her clothes, and she didn't dare to stop no matter how cold it was.

I don't know how long I ran, the ginkgo tree with sparse leaves appeared in Xi Duyun's field of vision, Xi Duyun was overjoyed, his pace was faster, and he ran home desperately.

The lights were lit at home, and it was Qi Lichen and Xiaoyu waiting.

Xi Duyun ran to the door of the house, and was about to reach out to push the door, but the courtyard door opened one step ahead of her, Xi Duyun's force had already pushed out, and she couldn't stop her feet and fell forward, and threw herself into a soft embrace.

The lantern in the man's hand shook, and a gust of wind poured in, blowing out the fire in the lantern. Smelling the familiar scent of wormwood on that person's body, the tight strings in Xi Duyun's mind finally loosened, and he lost consciousness in Qi Lichen's arms.

The rain has not stopped today, Qi Lichen is not worried that Xi Duyu is at home, so he closed the store in advance and went home.

The rain in winter is even more unbearable than snow, Qi Lichen doesn't know how to cook, he took the budding rice out of the cellar and boiled bone broth, fried a few side dishes, and after a while, he estimated that Xi Duyun was almost the time to come back.

Xi Duyu said that every time she sat at the door and waited for her sister, she would be very happy when she came back.

Qi Lichen moved a small wooden stool like Xi Duyu, and the two of them sat under the eaves, looking at the rain scattered and waiting for Xi Duyu's return. Qi Lichen himself didn't realize how hot and bright the expectations and waiting in his eyes were.

When it got dark, the last inch of light disappeared into the sky, and Xi Duyun did not come back, and the courtyard door was always tightly closed.

According to the footsteps from Houshan to Nancun, it stands to reason that it should have arrived a long time ago, Qi Lichen realized that something was wrong, and he was about to go out to find someone when he turned on the lantern, and the moment he opened the courtyard door, Xi Duyun rushed in, Qi Lichen's whole heart was in his throat.

Xi Duyun is such a clean person, and he was covered in muddy water, and one of his shoes fell off on the way back.

The soles of her feet were scraped several times by gravel, her hands and feet were blue from the cold wind, her face was red from the cold, and the whole person was stiff.

Qi Lichen boiled hot water and carried Xi Duyun into the bucket and soaked for a while before Xi Duiyun gradually came back to his senses.

The room was filled with steaming moisture, Xi Duiyun's vision gradually cleared, and when he saw Qi Lichen's face clearly, Xi Duiyun grabbed Qi Lichen's hand violently, and blurted out: "Someone wants to kill me!" ”

Qi Lichen's hand was directly dragged into the warm water, the water was obviously hot, but Qi Lichen's hand was as hard as ice.
