Chapter 52: An Unquiet Night

After Fang Jinyi returned to the courtyard, she couldn't put her mind at ease, poked her head out from time to time to look outside, and then walked back and forth in the room anxiously.

Sheng Sheng and Ziyi couldn't comfort her, so they could only stand by and watch her, occasionally pouring her a cup of tea.

When it got dark, Fang Jinyi lost patience and insisted that he must find Fang Zihuai, but Ziyi and Shengsheng couldn't persuade him.

In the end, Sheng Sheng thought of a way to let Ziyi find some soothing medicine and put it in the water, and tricked Fang Jinyi into drinking it, which calmed her down.

Sheng Sheng helped Fang Jinyi cover the quilt, then extinguished the candle and went out of the house with Ziyi.

"How many hours does that medicine last?" Sheng Sheng looked at Ziyi and said, "Miss is sleeping shallowly, it won't be a while, right?" ”

"At least three hours."

Hearing Ziyi's answer, Sheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you go and rest, I'll just stay here." ”

Ziyi shook her head and followed Sheng Sheng to stand at the door, without any intention of leaving.

Sheng Sheng saw it, nodded and said, "It's okay, if the young lady wakes up and wants to find the little boy again, I can't persuade me alone." ”

The two stood at the door for a while, their bodies becoming a little cold, and Sheng Sheng said to Ziyi: "You go to the room and get two clothes, it may be even colder than it is now." ”

Ziyi obediently turned around and went to the room of the two, and Sheng Sheng walked around the door, trying to warm himself up.

After the two added clothes, Ziyi went back to the house to inspect again, and saw that Fang Jinyi was sleeping deeply, so she walked out and sat on the bench next to Shengsheng with confidence.

The night gradually deepened, Sheng Sheng and Ziyi were a little drowsy, and occasionally a frog croaked from the flowers in the yard next to them.

Although it is forbidden to walk around at night, there are still patrols and punctual people, so even if someone does not follow the rules, it is difficult not to be detected.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared in the courtyard, he walked cautiously in the courtyard, and quickly avoided the patrol.

The man in black walked to the next room while avoiding the patrol, and reached the door of the house safely, the man in black looked around vigilantly, and then opened the door carefully.

There was no light in the room, and the man in black searched cautiously, as if looking for something.

After looking around, the man in black didn't seem to find what he was looking for, so he left the house again, and then walked in the other direction.

This time, the man in black didn't seem so lucky, as soon as he reached the door of another room, he was bumped into by someone who had returned from the mountains.

"Who?"

As soon as Li Jia exploded, the man in black made a move, turned around and ran to the side, moving quickly.

"Stop!"

Li Jia was the one who followed Su Muqiu, so he naturally reacted quickly, and after catching up, he fought with the man in black.

The man in black dodged Li Jia's attack with dexterity, while looking for an opportunity to escape.

After a few moves, Li Jia knew that he was not the opponent of the man in black, so he shouted loudly: "Come on, catch the assassin!" ”

Seeing this, the man in black no longer showed mercy to his subordinates, and made a quick move, making a fierce move, although he did not ask for Li Jia's life, but he also made him retreat.

Because some of the people in the village followed Su Muqiu to the mountain to look for Fang Zihuai, the number of patrols was halved, and by the time they heard the sound coming, the man in black had already escaped.

Li Jia covered his injured abdomen and said in a deep voice: "The assassin must still be in the village, search for me!" ”

When Sheng Sheng and Ziyi were dozing off against the pillar, they suddenly heard a noisy sound, they got up and looked at the entrance of the courtyard, only to see several people walking over with lanterns.

After Ziyi saw Li Jia, she immediately thought of what had happened, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

"There are assassins." Li Jia looked at her and said, then glanced at the door next to him and asked, "Are you okay here?" What about Madame? ”

"Madame is resting."

Li Jia frowned slightly and asked, "Can you see Madame?" I have something to convey for the owner. ”

"But in order to keep the young lady in the village, we gave her a soothing medicine, and it is estimated that she will not wake up yet." Sheng Sheng looked at Li Jia with an embarrassed face and said, thought about it, and asked again, "But it's urgent?" If you are not in a hurry, can you wait until my young lady wakes up? ”

Li Jia looked at Ziyi, Ziyi didn't react, Li Jia looked at Shengsheng again, and said: "It's better to bother the girl to call it, the subordinates dare not slack off on what the owner ordered." ”

Sheng Sheng sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll call Miss." ”

Li Jia looked at Ziyi and raised his chin at her, Ziyi nodded, and immediately followed behind Shengsheng.

Ziyi followed Sheng Sheng into the house, and lit a candle, seeing that Fang Jinyi was still asleep, the two glanced at each other, and stepped forward to call Fang Jinyi together.

Maybe it was because the medicine was too strong, and the two screamed for a while, and Fang Jinyi woke up and sat up from the bed.

Fang Jinyi rubbed her temples with a headache and asked, "Why did I fall asleep?" ”

"Miss, my uncle has sent someone to pass the word."

Fang Jinyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Let him come in." ”

Ziyi called Li Jia in, Li Jia stood at the door, hugged his fists and said, "Madam, the owner of the village sent his subordinates to pass the word, saying that please rest assured that Mrs. Fang Gongzi has been found." ”

"What about them?" Fang Jinyi walked up to him and frowned, "Haven't you come back yet?" ”

"Already on the way back."

Fang Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and suddenly, the tip of his nose smelled blood.

"You're hurt?" Fang Jinyi looked at Li Jia in surprise and said anxiously: "Is there something wrong in the mountains?" What about Zihuai? How is he? Are there any injuries? ”

Li Jia bent down, straightened up and said, "Please rest assured, Madam, Fang Gongzi is not injured." The injuries on the body of his subordinates were caused by the fight with the Assassins. ”

"Assassins?"

Li Jia nodded and said, "An assassin entered the village just now, but he ran away. However, the lady can rest assured that her subordinates have sent people to search all over the village, and the lady will stay in the room and never leave the yard. ”

"I see." Fang Jinyi nodded, then looked at him and said, "Don't be here if you're injured, go get the medicine." As for the pursuit of the Assassins, you can leave it to others to take care of your wounds. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

After Li Jia left, Fang Jinyi sat on the stool and looked at Sheng Sheng, and said in a sharp tone: "Honestly, how did I fall asleep all of a sudden?" ”

Sheng Sheng lowered his head in fear and whispered: "Miss, Sheng Sheng is afraid that something will happen to Miss, so he ...... So I let the young lady drink a little soothing medicine. ”

Fang Jinyi slapped the table, "You are really getting bolder, you actually drugged me, who made you do this?" ”

Sheng Sheng looked at Fang Jinyi aggrievedly, and said in a choked voice: "Sheng Sheng is worried that Miss will go up the mountain to find her son, and she is afraid that Miss will be injured, so she ......."

"Even so, you shouldn't have drugged me." Fang Jinyi said sharply, "Also, Zihuai is my younger brother, and if something happens to him, I naturally can't ignore it." ”

Seeing Fang Jinyi's angry look, Sheng Sheng immediately knelt on the ground and said to her, "Miss, don't be angry, Sheng Sheng knows it's wrong." ”

Ziyi on the side also knelt down, and said, "Madam, the slave and maid are also at fault in this matter, please punish Madame." ”
