Chapter 7: The tongue was cut out
Returning to the familiar courtyard, as soon as she walked to the mouth of the alley, she saw the courtyard door that had been closed and locked when she left, and now it was wide open, and the big hole in the door showed how hard the people who had come to her had kicked it.
Thinking that Ming Zisu had been here, how disappointed he would be if he couldn't find her, Ye Jin felt uncomfortable, but Ye Xuan was a child, as soon as he returned to Qingyang City, he was the happiest, and he didn't shout tired or sleepy, and ran into the yard to have fun as soon as he got home.
"Dad, we're here, and we'll live here from now on."
Ye Jin helped Father Ye into the courtyard, and inadvertently lowered his head, and found that there was a long mark of being cut on the door, and he was about to take a closer look, when the Yuqiu girl from Jintailou came.
"Miss Ye, you're finally back, where have you been these days? The shopkeeper asked me to fetch the wine, I came for a few days, you were not there, and Qi Gongzi didn't see anyone, so I went back and forth, and today can be regarded as meeting someone! ”
"I'm sorry, Miss Yuqiu, I'm in a bit of a hurry at home, so I'll go get you wine."
Ye Jin explained to Father Ye, asked him to walk around the courtyard casually to get acquainted, and then took Yuqiu to the backyard.
"What about Qi Gongzi? Why don't you see his people? ”
"He's not here for a while."
"Huh? Why? Yuqiu's tone could not hide her anxiety and disappointment.
Ye Jin took out a few jars from the wine cellar, put them in them and handed them over: "Miss Yuqiu, I'm really embarrassed to let you run away in vain these days, do you come over every day?" ”
"It's not, the store is about to run out of stock, and the shopkeeper urges me every day, so I don't come every day!"
"By the way, have you seen anyone else looking for me these days besides you? Or is it a walk around our doorstep? ”
Yuqiu tilted his head and thought about it, with a sudden expression on his face, and nodded: "It's true, there have been several times when I have seen a few people in black sneaking into the courtyard, and I have asked them who they are, but they pulled out their knives without saying a word, such a long knife scared me to death, I was scared and ran away!" Miss Ye, you won't be in trouble with any enemies, will you? ”
Ye Jin was stunned: "Enemy? You also think that the visitor is not good, right? ”
Yuqiu: "Anyway, I think it's vicious, but it doesn't look like I'm here to visit the door." ”
When night fell, Ye Jin didn't light the lamp and sat quietly in the room, as if waiting for something.
In the darkness, the door was kicked open, and three masked men in black burst in, carrying long knives in their hands.
Ye Jin unhurriedly lit the lamp on the table, the light dispelled the darkness, and the man in black who rushed in was stunned, looked around, seemed to be checking whether there was an ambush, and found nothing abnormal, but looking at her leisurely and calm appearance, he didn't dare to step forward for a while, and pointed at her with a long knife in disbelief.
Ye Jin yawned, a little tired: "If a few heroes come a little later, I'll have to sleep." ”
"You are Ye Jin?"
"Your Excellency?"
"People who are dying don't have to know so much." As the man spoke, he walked slowly with a knife, and just walked to the table, when suddenly his feet slipped, and the whole person fell backwards, and a stream of red powder sprinkled down from the beam, impartially spilling the man's face.
"Ah——!h
The man suddenly let out a scream, covering his eyes and rolling on the ground in pain.
Ye Jin got up slowly and leisurely, and looked coldly at the remaining two black-clothed people: "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll guess for myself, I've lived in Qingyang City for so long, and I've never offended anyone, and after thinking about it, I've only offended the second lady of Yunfu, let's say, are you sent by Yunfu?" ”
The two men in black did not answer, glanced at each other, and rushed towards Ye Jin with knives together, and at this time, another man in black rushed in outside the door.
"There was no one in the other rooms! The old man and the child are gone. ”
"No matter, kill her first!"
The three of them picked up the man who was lying on the ground covering his face and screaming, and then rushed towards Ye Jin with a fierce look.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Jin knocked over the burning candlestick on the table to the ground and landed on the wet ground, and suddenly there was a "bang" sound, and an open flame rose, and as the wet traces on the ground spread rapidly, the man in black who fell down before bore the brunt of the body and burned.
Ye Jin drank coldly: "I don't want to be burned to death, it's too late to quit now!" ”
The men in black glanced at each other, but they didn't even care about their companions, regardless of the spread of the fire under their feet, they continued to rush towards Ye Jin with murderous energy.
"You must die today!"
Ye Jin couldn't help but panic a little, she didn't expect this to be a group of outlaws, and now that her tricks have been exhausted, if no one comes to save her, she can only wait for death.
She silently retreated to the window, in order to force back the approaching man in black, Ye Jin picked up the wine jar on the windowsill and smashed it hard into the flames, the flames suddenly rose high, the fire also rose sharply, and the smoke filled the whole room, she covered her nose and climbed onto the windowsill, and as soon as she climbed up, she was smashed on her back by a hot thing, a burning pain spread on her back, she screamed, fell from the windowsill, and fell to the ground.
The man in black quickly chased after him, forcing Ye Jin into a dead corner, with the killer in front and the courtyard wall behind, she really had no way to escape.
"I think you can do anything else now? Just do it? The man laughed viciously, kicked Ye Jin away, Ye Jin's chest hurt heavily, his body flew up and hit the wall fiercely, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. She fell to the ground panting, the man held a long knife and slashed over, she rolled on the spot in a panic and narrowly avoided the knife, the strong desire to survive made her ignore the pain in her body, she quickly got up and ran to the yard, but was soon caught up, the man grabbed her by the collar and lifted her high, and threw her heavily on the ground, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes, Ye Jin felt a cold on her arm, with a burst of hot pain, blood gushed out, she covered her arm and got up, staggered back, and saw the long knife raised againShe closed her eyes in despair.
The knife wind slashed, but there was no pain in her body, she heard a muffled snort of pain, opened her eyes, and a person stood in front of her, clutching her chest and slowly falling.
Immediately after that, a group of people rushed in from outside the courtyard and fought with the man in black, perhaps for fear of revealing his identity, the man in black did not love to fight at all, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Ye Jin struggled to catch the unstable body of the person in front of her, staggered and fell to the ground together, blood gushed out of his chest, instantly soaked his shirt, she cried and held down his wounds: "Qi Han...... Why are you so stupid! ”
Qi Han's lips quickly whitened, and he struggled to hold Ye Jin's hand on his chest, and smiled weakly.
"Luckily, you're okay......"
"Don't be afraid, I'll report to the official......"
"Xiao Xuan, what about Uncle Ye, are they ...... have anything to do?"
Ye Jin covered her mouth, and the blood on her hands stained her face, mixed with tears, and she was embarrassed. There was a dull pain in his chest, he was also burned on his back, his arm was stabbed hotly, the house was swallowed up by the sea of fire, the scorched smoke rushed high into the sky, and the firelight reflected Ye Jin's blood-stained face, this night was finally over.
Ye Jin took Qi Han to the inn where she housed Ye Xuan and Ye's father, invited the doctor to come and see it, and heard that the doctor said that he had lost too much blood after diagnosis and treatment, but it was not life-threatening, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered to deal with the wounds on her body.
Let Xiao Er send a wooden basin and water, and take a cloth towel to hang on the edge of the basin, then she took a deep breath, gently rolled up her sleeves, a bloody wound was exposed, she picked up the cloth towel and soaked it in water, wrung it half dry, wiped the bloody arm little by little, wiped it to the edge of the wound, the rough cloth rubbed the wound, bringing a burst of throbbing, she involuntarily shrunk a little, the cloth towel touched the wound at once, the pain made her eyes white, and she took a breath of cold air.
A hand quickly snatched the cloth towel from her hand, but the movement was very light, avoiding her wound, Ye Jin raised her head in a hurry, and finally saw the person she had been waiting for all night.
Ming Zisu didn't look at her, lowered his head and cleaned her wound without saying a word, he soaked the cloth towel and twisted it to let the water flow on the edge of the wound, washing away the blood that kept pouring out from the edge of the wound, he patiently rinsed until there was no new blood gushing out, and then took the medicine bottle and sprinkled the white medicine powder on the wound, Ye Jin suddenly felt as if there were countless ants gnawing at the flesh inside the wound, and couldn't help but shrink a little, and the hand holding the wrist immediately increased the force to prevent her from moving.
Until the bandaging was finished, Ming Zisu always lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, only occasionally when he turned his head, he could vaguely see the corners of his tight mouth, Ye Jin wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and closed his mouth again.
Mingzi Su helped her stand up, gently untied her belt, carefully supported her shoulders and made her turn around, facing away from him, seeing her bloody back, his movements stopped for a moment, his eyes suddenly deepened, anger swelled in his eyes, and he was pressed down again, the movement was very light little by little to fade off her clothes, the fabric stuck to the burn and broken skin wound, gently pulled, with a burst of pain of torn flesh and skin, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain and did not dare to make a sound, the whole dress was finally removed, Her forehead was already covered with fine and dense cold sweat, moistening the messy hair on her forehead, and her white lips were trembling.
"I'm sorry."
He apologized in a low voice, turned her around, looked at her pale face, and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions surging in the depths of his eyes, only he knew that these three words could not express his self-blame at all, he did not protect her well, how could he let her hurt like this.
"I'm fine, don't be upset."
Ye Jin reached out to touch his tight face, but forgot the arm that had just been wrapped, and when she moved, she pulled a throbbing pain, and she exhaled in pain.
"Don't move, get on your stomach, I'll give you medicine."
Ye Jin obediently lay on the bed, Ming Zisu gathered the ointment on her fingertips and gently applied it to her wound, the cool and cool medicine immediately relieved the burning pain, his soft and smooth fingertips gently crossed the skin, and slowly walked, where he went, stirred up the spark, causing Ye Jin to tremble for a while, Ming Zisu noticed her strangeness, and asked nervously: "What's wrong?" Does it hurt? ”
Ye Jin hurriedly shook her head in embarrassment, she actually had evil thoughts at this time, and then realized that she was not wearing an inch on her upper body, and suddenly blushed.
A cold lip landed on her shoulder, but a hot kiss was imprinted.
"Does it still hurt?"
"No, it doesn't hurt......" Ye Jin buried her head in the pillow.
Mingzi Su stood up, his eyes became complicated, he suddenly raised his hand and clicked on Ye Jin's sleeping hole, caught her soft body and hugged her tightly, stroked her long frost-white hair, and sighed in a low voice: "Since you chose to leave, why do you want to come back......
