Chapter Eighty-Four: The Dead

The backyard was rebuilt after Lin Jinxiu opened up two stores, and his room was demolished and rebuilt because of obstacles.

Now Aunt Li and Ning Er's room and kitchen are on one side, and Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing's room are on the other side, and in the middle is the chicken pen and small vegetable patch that have been carved out, ready to plant something in the future.

Lin Jinxiu didn't turn her head back, lifted her skirt and ran straight from the center of the vegetable field to the door of Huai Yanqing's room, knocking on the door loudly.

Ahhhh One second too late and I'm going to hang!

Lin Jinxiu wanted to shout but couldn't, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make any sound, so she could only use her strength to keep knocking on the door, hoping that Huai Yanqing would hear it soon to save her.

The killer saw that Lin Jinxiu had already knocked on the door, and knew that if his hand was a little slower, he would definitely fail the mission, so he lifted the dagger in his hand and threw it in the direction of Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu saw that the man had already thrown the knife over, and rushed to the hospital in a hurry, so she hurriedly bowed down and dodged to the side, but just let the knife that flew towards her chest turn into a knife that flew towards her head.

Seeing that the knife was about to make Lin Jinxiu's head bloom, a small pebble flew and hit the dagger.

The trajectory of the dagger deflected to the side and was nailed to the wall, only a few centimeters away from Lin Jinxiu's head.

The man found that his knife had been struck to the side, and his heart tightened, and he was about to turn and run away, when he was struck by a solid leg on the side of his waist.

The leg almost made him breathe, and before he could react, another elbow from top to bottom followed.

As soon as the man's body sank, he fell heavily to the ground, losing the ability to fight.

Huai Yanqing grabbed the back of the man's neck with one hand and pressed him to the ground, pressed his lumbar vertebrae with his knees with both hands, and asked sharply: "Who are you!" Tell me honestly, spare your life! ”

Lin Jinxiu saw that the man had been subdued by Huai Yanqing before he relaxed, and slowly sat down on the ground along the wall, and his tears slowly flowed down in great fright, but he couldn't make any sound.

"Shopkeeper, are you alright?" Huai Yanqing's eyes did not leave the man in black, for fear that he would use some method to attack Lin Jinxiu from a distance.

He could only pay attention to Lin Jinxiu's condition from the corner of his eye.

Lin Jinxiu wanted to say that she was fine, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only shake her head.

Seeing that Lin Jinxiu was just frightened and not injured, Huai Yanqing was a little relieved, and pressed his knees: "Say!" ”

The man whose lumbar spine was reversed groaned in pain, gritted his teeth hard, and didn't say a word.

Huai Yanqing still wanted to continue the interrogation, but found that something was not right.

The strength of the wrists in his hands gradually decreased, and he weakened.

Huai Yanqing took a closer look, and the man's eyes turned up, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose-

He was dead!

"Do you have poison in your mouth?" Huai Yanqing frowned, "Dead man." ”

Lin Jinxiu hugged her arms, the fear just now made her feel chills all over her body, and she couldn't stand up trembling.

Although Huai Yanqing not only saved her life but also comforted her little heart, the feeling of passing by death just now was not something that could be eliminated casually.

After all, the knife that wanted to kill her was still in her ear.

Huai Yanqing stood up and walked towards Lin Jinxiu after confirming that the person was dead, looking at her sitting on the ground against the wall and shivering, a little worried.

"Shopkeeper, have you been hurt somewhere?" Huai Yanqing squatted down in front of Lin Jinxiu.

"Sorry, I wasn't in the room just now. Put Lele back on the bed, and he cried as soon as I left, so I was in your room until just now. ”

Lin Jinxiu nodded to show that she understood, pointed to her throat, opened her mouth to try to speak, and shook her head again.

"Did you lose your voice?" Huai Yanqing understood what she meant, "Was that the person who gave you the medicine just now?" ”

Lin Jinxiu nodded, reached out and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and motioned for Huai Yanqing to pull her up.

Huai Yanqing realized and stood up and tried to help her up, but Lin Jinxiu's body was sore and weak.

No matter how hard she tried to hold on to the wall, she couldn't get herself up and walk properly.

Seeing that she was about to fall down again, Lin Jinxiu suddenly felt aggrieved and unwilling in her heart.

Why are you so weak!

Why do you have to let Huai Yanqing save yourself every time!

Huai Yanqing stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist and propped the weight of her entire body on his arm: "I'll help you." ”

Lin Jinxiu nodded but couldn't say thank you, and walked to her room step by step with Huai Yanqing's support.

Lele was woken up by the sound in the courtyard, and the little baby who didn't know what happened didn't cry under Huai Yanqing's comfort.

Instead, he opened his big eyes and watched curiously as his mother was helped in, and he stretched out his hand to ask his mother to hug him.

Lin Jinxiu couldn't hold back when she saw Lele, hugged Lele, lowered her head and gritted her teeth and began to shed tears.

When her life was threatened, her heart was full of her own children.

If she dies, what will happen to her children?

Lin Jinxiu, who already felt guilty for not having time to take care of her children, experienced such a life and death experience, and she couldn't cry for a while.

Huai Yanqing stood behind her and gently patted her on the shoulder.

Lin Jinxiu is a very strong person, that's right.

It can be seen by her ability to react correctly when she is most in danger, rather than being frightened and panicking.

He understands her fear, who in this world is not afraid of death?

Lin Jinxiu couldn't cry because she lost her voice, and she felt that it was really embarrassing to cry in front of Huai Yanqing, and she wanted to vent her emotions and endure it.

Biting his lip and sobbing, he almost let out a pig cry.

Lin Jinxiu was so embarrassed that her face turned red.

Huai Yanqing smiled, took out a clean handkerchief from Lin Jinxiu's drawer and handed it to her: "If you want to cry, cry, don't be ashamed." ”

At the end, he added: "If I had survived the situation like the one I had just had, I would have cried." ”

Lin Jinxiu took the handkerchief with red eyes, and couldn't say thank you if she wanted to, so she could only wipe her tears while slowly calming down her emotions.

It took a long time to recover, and he still held Lele and was unwilling to let go.

The little one rubbed his little hand over his mother's face, as if trying to wipe the tears from her face, but wiped her tears even out on her face.

Lin Jinxiu still had tears in her eyes, and Lele's well-behaved made her very pleased.

She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, and squeezed out an ugly smile and smiled at Lele.

"Shopkeeper, you wait for me." Huai Yanqing said, "I have to go out and deal with the thing lying in the yard, otherwise it will scare Ning'er and them tomorrow." ”

Lin Jinxiu nodded.

"I'll be back in a moment." Huai Yanqing stood at the door and said to Lin Jinxiu very seriously, "Turn on the light, don't sleep yet, play with Lele for a while." ”

Lin Jinxiu smiled at him.

Huai Yanqing told Lin Jinxiu to close the door of her room, walked out of the room, and stood next to the corpse.

He was supposed to bring this corpse to Qin Shuyao for them to dispose of, but now Huai Yanqing didn't dare to leave the backyard at all.

If there is still someone watching him, and he will attack Lin Jinxiu after he leaves, no one here will be able to stop the second killer.

After thinking about it, Huai Yanqing went to wake up Pipi Chicken and asked it to bring a note to Qin Shuyao.

This chicken was lying on its side with its head tilted to the side in its own small bed, with its feet facing the sky, like a big plump chestnut.

It didn't even wake it up with such a big movement.

Huai Yanqing stretched out a finger and poked the belly of the leather chicken, and poofed into its fine fluff.

"Huh?" Pippi rolled over with sleepy eyes.

As soon as he saw that it was Huai Yanqing, the eyes of Pipi Chicken immediately widened, as if he had seen the top food.

"Do me a favor." Huai Yanqing put his arm on the side of its small bed and took out the note he had written.

The Pippi chicken flapped its wings and flew up and rushed into Huai Yanqing's arms.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, touched the fur on the leather chicken helplessly, and tied the note to its leg.

Pippi Chicken ran away with his own small steps.

In the yard.

Huai Yanqing turned the body over and searched his body.

The man had nothing on him except a paper bag containing poison and a few daggers.

Maybe they thought that killing a little girl didn't require much preparation, but they didn't expect that Lin Jinxiu was not a powerless person.

Huai Yanqing couldn't find any evidence on the man, so he got up and walked to the side of the dagger, wanting to see if there would be any marks on the knife.

Pulling the dagger out of the wall, Huai Yanqing found that there was a sign on the dagger that he had never seen before.

The symbol resembles a water droplet, and in the center of the drop there is a hibiscus pattern.

Perhaps this sign can reveal what kind of identity this person is, and who wants to kill Lin Jinxiu.

Huai Yanqing waited for a while, only to see that on the roof not far away, several people rushed to the courtyard with light skills and landed in the courtyard.

The person who came was Zhao Kang, who was still holding a leather chicken in his arms.

The leather chicken flew out of Zhao Kang's arms and ran to the soles of Huai Yanqing's feet to ask for credit.

Huai Yanqing picked up the leather chicken and stroked its smooth feathers.

"Today happens to be my turn to keep vigil." Zhao Kang looked like he was here to do business, his face was serious, "This is the killer?" ”

He pointed to the only person lying on the ground in the backyard.

Huai Yanqing nodded.

"Is Miss Lin okay?" Zhao Kang ordered someone to carry the corpse and prepare to take it away.

"She was poisoned, lost her voice, and was terrified." Huai Yanqing told the truth.

Zhao Kang sighed: "Miss Lin is really a lot of disasters. Then bother the virtuous brother to take care of her. ”

Several people took the dagger and the corpse away, and Zhao Kang also carefully covered the remaining blood stains in the backyard with soil, so as not to scare Ning'er and them.

"Lord Qin has ordered, we will find a person to conduct an autopsy, and if there are any new clues, we will communicate with you." Zhao Kang said before leaving.

Huai Yanqing responded: "Okay, then it's troublesome Brother Zhao." ”

"Brother Huai." At this moment, Ning Er opened the door and poked out a small head, "What happened?" ”

In fact, she had woken up just now, but when she opened the crack in the door, she saw a pale person lying on the ground, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out.

Now that the body had been carried away, she poked her head out.

Huai Yanqing thought about it, and finally told the truth: "Someone has bad intentions and wants to hurt the shopkeeper." ”

Ning Er listened to Huai Yanqing's words, her eyes widened suddenly, and she walked out of the room and quietly closed the door: "Then, is Sister Lin okay now?" ”

Huai Yanqing motioned for Ning Er to go with him to Lin Jinxiu's room.

Ning Er pushed open Lin Jinxiu's door with a worried face.

Lin Jinxiu lay on her side on the bed, panting constantly.

From the moment she had just begun, she could feel a fire burning in her body, accompanied by nausea and fever, which made her dizzy.
