Chapter 25: Injuries
On the other hand, the drunkard Ju Ke was not so calm.
"Aunt Xu! Sister Ami left a letter and disappeared! ”
Xiaolian's voice came from upstairs, rushing, accompanied by hurried footsteps.
Aunt Xu was cleaning up the tables and chairs in front of her, and suddenly heard Xiaolian's words, and she was very anxious.
"What? The girl is gone? What is written in the letter? ”
Xiaolian ran to Aunt Xu, unfolded the letterhead, and handed it to Aunt Xu.
Xiaolian has been wandering since she was a child and is illiterate, so she thought about finding Aunt Xu directly after seeing the letter.
Aunt Xu has been on an errand in the eunuch's house for many years, so she naturally knows some words.
She took the paper from Xiaolian's hand and unfolded it to read it.
"How is it, Aunt Xu, what did Sister Ami write?"
Aunt Xu frowned and stomped her feet in a hurry, "She said that together with Lord Rui, she went to Lin'an to find evidence of the Bai family's case. ”
"You said that she has never been far away when she is so big, and now she has left without a sound, this time it must be dangerous, if there is a ...... with three long and two short"
When Xiaolian heard her say this, she was a little relieved, "If it is with Prince Rui, Aunt Xu doesn't have to worry too much, he will definitely protect Sister Ami." ”
Aunt Xu turned back and forth twice, clasping her hands together, "Now I can only pray for God's blessing, I hope the girl will find evidence as soon as possible......"
Xiaolian was on the side, anxious, but she could only wait at home first.
At this time, Liuyun was holding a plate of sauce duck and standing beside Ami.
"Miss, I just inquired, this small shop, this sauce duck is the most delicious, hurry up and try it."
Ami looked at him with a hellish expression, "Xiao Yunyun, what's wrong with you today, why are you so strange?" ”
Liuyun laughed dryly, "Little ...... Miss, where are these words, isn't this what I should do? ”
Suddenly feeling a chill, Liuyun looked up and found that his master was looking at him expressionlessly.
"If you don't want to eat, wait for it."
Liuyun's face froze, and he immediately put down the plate, sat down next to it, and picked up the bowl.
On weekdays, although Liuyun and Changli are commensurate with master and servant, Changli has never really regarded Liuyun as a subordinate, and it is common to eat at the same table.
Changli looked up and looked outside, "At this time, it's time for them to set off." ”
Liuyun was a little confused, didn't dare to make a sound, and lowered his head to pick up the rice sullenly.
Ami looked at it, then turned her head again, and tried her best to pick up the vegetables.
Not to mention, this sauce duck tastes really good!
As she ate, she muttered indistinctly, "Whatever, they won't do it right now anyway." ”
Liuyun looked up from the bowl, "Who?" ”
Changli turned his head and ate, as if he hadn't heard Liuyun's words at all.
Liuyun looked at the two of them, he didn't know what they were selling, he pouted, and looked quite aggrieved.
After eating, several people did not delay and continued on the road.
Lin'an was not too far from Anling, and even under such inconvenient transportation conditions, it only took five or six days to arrive.
Along the way, except for the strange clouds that flowed away, nothing else happened.
At this time, several people drove a carriage on the streets of Lin'an.
Ami lifted the curtain and looked out curiously.
Compared with the capital, this Lin'an is naturally a lot older, and the streets are not as good as Anling, and you can see the gorgeously decorated restaurant buildings everywhere, but it adds a lot of fireworks.
On both sides of the street, all kinds of vendors are hawking, and there are many people chatting together, which is really a good place for the elderly.
Liuyun's voice came from outside, "Childe, there is Hsinchu Village in front, should you rest for a while and go again, or go directly?" ”
Changli commanded, "Go now." ”
As he spoke, his gaze stopped on Ami.
Ami was still looking outside, as if she hadn't heard the conversation between the two, but her left hand quietly grabbed the hem of her skirt.
Changli only glanced slightly, then turned his head and looked ahead.
Soon, the carriage stopped.
Liuyun jumped out of the car, "Childe, Miss, Hsinchu Village has arrived." ”
Hearing this, Changli got up first, lifted the curtain and went down, Ami followed behind.
The village is relatively unpopulated, the houses are disorderly located, and there are patches of fields in front of them, and a few villagers are busy in the fields.
After getting out of the car, Ami followed them closely, her eyes scanning back and forth between the houses.
Suddenly, Ami's eyes lit up and she pointed to a dilapidated house in front of her, "That's it." ”
Changli followed the direction she pointed, raised his legs and left.
Liuyun was very surprised, and leaned next to Ami, "Miss, how do you know?" Have you been here? ”
Ami put on a smug expression, "Miss, I guessed!" ”
With that, he immediately followed.
Several people stood in front of the door, and Ami went up and knocked on the door.
A man's voice came from inside, sounding a little old, "Who's knocking on the door?" ”
"Uncle, do you want red bean cake?"
"What month of red beans?"
"December."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened from the inside.
A man who looked to be in his forties, dressed in burlap, leaned out from inside, looked at a few people outside the door, and turned sideways, "Girl, please come in." ”
Ami smiled at the man and stepped in.
Liuyun followed, a little confused.
Changli walked at the end, and when he was about to enter the door, he heard a rustling sound from the grass not far away.
Liuyun also felt it, turned his head, and looked at Changli with a solemn expression.
Changli shook his head almost inaudibly, his eyes glanced at Ami, and his footsteps did not stop.
Liuyun immediately understood, and stepped forward to follow Ami closely.
The old man smiled, "Miss, why haven't I seen you for many years, but it's all so standard." ”
Ami smiled on her face, but the hand in her sleeve clenched unconsciously, "Uncle Zhang, I heard that my father gave you something before his death, and Yu'er was empty, so he came over to take it away, so as not to always remember it." ”
The old man turned around with a smile, walked to the wall on the side, fumbled and took out an empty brick, and took out the contents inside, "It's been many years, and the old slave has never dared to move, just because I'm afraid that one day you won't be able to find anyone." ”
As he spoke, he handed Ami the cloth in his hand.
Ami held out her hand.
Suddenly, the bricks and tiles of the roof collapsed instantly, and several black-clothed people jumped down from above, holding long knives, and swung straight at Ami.
Liuyun had long been observing the movements around him, and as soon as the man in black came, he pushed Ami into the corner, and then drew his sword.
The old man put away the things in his hand almost instantly, and flashed sideways to the side.
At the same time, a group of black-clothed people also poured in at the door, and Changli was standing not far from the door, when he heard the sound, he neatly turned around and collided with the black-clothed man head-on.
Ami was just pushed, but he was a little farther away from the fighting circle.
She immediately got up and hid by a cupboard.
These people are just trying to snatch evidence, but in comparison, the people in black around the old man are the most.
Liuyun was close to him and helped him more or less.
Fortunately, the three of them have mastered their kung fu, and Ami is safe hiding in the corner.
She crouched beside the cabinet, staring at the movement in front of her without blinking, for fear of injuring herself.
At this moment, an arrow suddenly broke through the window, and Ami looked up and saw the arrow flying straight towards her.
His pupils narrowed, and a wave of fear spread throughout his body.
On the other side, Changli noticed the movement here, and turned around to repel a few people in front of him, and when he rushed to Ami's side, it was too late to shoot down the arrows.
He turned sideways and stopped in front of Ami.
The arrow pierced him in the back, and he gritted his teeth and reached for the cabinet to support his body.
Ami came to her senses, swept a black shadow in her afterglow, and when she turned her head, she saw a man in black getting up from the ground and trying to attack from the side.
She didn't care much, half-knelt down, blocked Changli behind her, raised her right hand, and fired a silver needle.
The man in black then fell to the ground.
She looked at the people on the ground resolutely, and she knew that in this era, whoever is soft will die!
Liuyun saw that his master was injured, and he was anxious, and he was not in love, so he hurried over after dealing with the rest of the people.
Before Liuyun could speak, Changli pointed to the man in black who had just been knocked down by Ami, "Take him away, this needle can't kill anyone." ”
Liuyun looked at Changli, his face was pale, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his lips were bloodless, he was even more anxious, and he immediately went to check the injury.
The old man followed, glanced at the wound, and said hatefully, "These people are so vicious!" ”
Ami panicked, "What's the matter?" ”
"This arrow has barbs, if it is forcibly pulled out, it must be blurred and difficult to heal for a long time, if it is a woman who does not know martial arts, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand an arrow! And, it seems...... It seems to have been quenched with poison! ”
Hearing this, Ami and Ami were both shocked.
"Hurry up and follow me, it's still too late for treatment at this time." With that, he lifted his legs and walked out the door.
Ami and Liuyun didn't dare to delay, so they immediately picked up and left, and went out behind the old man.
