Chapter 94: Nest Fire
The smell of blood penetrated Jiang Cheng'er's nose.
Jiang Cheng'er couldn't help but sneeze, and that night in the bamboo house, a creepy scene swept her again.
Jiang Cheng'er's hand shook, and the blood-stained woodcutter fell to the ground.
She stood still, pulled by fear into the abyss.
The black shadow was slashed, gritted his teeth and cursed Jiang Cheng'er, and threw the big knife in his hand at Jiang Cheng'er.
"Get out of the way!" Aunt Zhao screamed and fainted directly.
By the time Jiang Cheng'er came back to her senses, it was already too late, and the tip of the knife came straight to the door in front of her with the sound of whistling wind, and she couldn't hide if she wanted to.
said that it was too late, and the tip of the knife grazed Jiang Cheng'er's neck, and it clicked into the wall.
At the same time, a strong wind blew towards the black shadow.
The shadow was hit, blood spurted from its mouth, and it fell out of the window screaming.
Jiang Cheng'er's legs were weak, and when she was about to fall, she was held by a pair of strong arms.
At some point, there was a man in a black cloak with a cold aura wrapped between his eyebrows.
The man had the familiar smell of Jiang Cheng'er, a faint fragrance of night flowers.
Jiang Cheng'er snuggled in his warm embrace, releasing the thousands of horrors in her heart little by little.
"Master...... Master ......" Jiang Cheng'er muttered to him, her voice weak and helpless, with a thin trill, and the joy of seeing him.
The trembling body of the person in his arms was clinging to his chest, and Han Baichuan could feel her trembling and chaotic heartbeat.
Knowing that she was frightened, Han Baichuan didn't push her away and let her snuggle.
He was also calming his heartbeat, and God knows how nervous he was just now, and she was almost stabbed in the face by the tip of a knife.
The girl's body was soft and boneless, rubbing his chest in a slight tremble, and after Han Baichuan's tension disappeared, he found that his heart was beating faster and his cheeks were hot.
Han Baichuan tried to push Jiang Cheng'er, but she hugged her tighter.
Han Baichuan reluctantly put his hand on Jiang Cheng'er's back and patted it gently, as if comforting.
Jiang Cheng'er's nose was sour, "Master...... Master...... Thank you for coming to save me. ”
Han Baichuan's reproachful words melted into her soft voice.
Jiang Cheng'er suddenly found that she was no longer afraid of this terrible man.
I don't know if she was too scared tonight, or if she used her hands to slash the assassin and her courage doubled. Anyway, when I hugged him, I only felt warm and safe, without the previous panic and rejection.
The tip of Han Baichuan's nose smelled the faint smell of plum blossoms on Jiang Cheng'er's body, which was not the smell of soap she usually used. He had hugged her several times, and he could tell the slightest difference.
Han Baichuan lowered his head, leaned close to the end of her hair, and inhaled hard.
The warm snort sprayed on Jiang Cheng'er's cheeks, and the itch spread, penetrating through the skin, making her heart skip a beat.
Han Baichuan has determined that it is not the plum spice, but the taste of plum wine.
Han Baichuan was annoyed, suddenly pushed Jiang Cheng'er away, and stared at her face coldly.
Jiang Cheng'er was surprised, what's wrong with him?
Han Baichuan was angry, he was worried that it would be dangerous for her to stay outside during the day, and tried his best to persuade her to go home, but she just didn't listen.
Not only did she not return home at night, but she also drank with men outside, drinking during the day and at night, thinking that she was a drunkard.
There is no sense of precaution at all, this night is really in danger, if he hadn't arrived in time, she would have been disfigured at least and would have died.
Han Baichuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, full of terrifying cold aura.
Jiang Cheng'er only felt cold all over her body, she was already frightened tonight, and when she was looked at by such a blaming look, she felt aggrieved and panicked.
Jiang Cheng'er pursed her lips and her eyes turned red, "Master, you ...... and blame others ......"
Han Baichuan was stunned, he hadn't been angry yet, she couldn't stand it, and she didn't let others "say" if she did something wrong.
He returned to Peach Blossom Village in the afternoon and gave the note to Chu Yunfan, and was looked at by the young man as a rival for a long time, he was already angry.
Worried that she would be in danger outside at night, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he rushed over from Peach Blossom Village to see her.
As it turned out, his hunch was very accurate, and he was fortunate to come over.
Now that he just glared at her, she didn't want to, shouldn't she be blamed?
Seeing her eyes red, with tears in her eyes, and her pitiful little appearance, he couldn't help but soften his heart, and he held back his anger, he was too difficult.
Han Baichuan twisted his head to the side and ignored her.
Master's awkward appearance is quite cute, Jiang Cheng'er turned to Han Baichuan's front and burst into laughter.
Crying for a while, laughing for a while, a girl who is not in shape, Han Baichuan is speechless.
Jiang Cheng'er stuck out her tongue, "Master, you old man is angry, I know that you are for my good, and I will pay attention to safety in the future." ”
Han Baichuan sign language: Also, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the future.
Oh, it turns out that the master mainly thinks she drinks.
No wonder he dragged her home in the afternoon, and suddenly pushed her away angrily just now, it turned out that he minded this.
Jiang Cheng'er thinks that the ancient wine is quite delicious, and it is okay to taste it less.
She smiled and strived: "Master, I won't drink outside from then on, I'll drink with you at home, okay?" ”
"Drink with you at home", Han Baichuan was softly hit by Jiang Cheng'er's words.
He remembered that night he had borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and she was by his side, encouraging himself in a heroic tone.
Speaking of which, this little woman still wants to drink, as long as she doesn't cause trouble outside, it's okay for the two of them to have a few drinks at home.
While he nodded, he could be regarded as forgiving her this time.
"I knew that Master was reluctant to blame me." Jiang Cheng'er blinked her starry eyes and smiled happily.
Well, he feels good about himself, so it's not that he's reluctant, but he's too lazy to bother with her.
Han Baichuan looked at Jiang Cheng'er's smiling appearance, he was also happy, she was polite and distant from him these days, and she had a problem in her heart, he knew it.
Today, she finally released that sense of fear and rejection, and accepted him from the bottom of her heart.
"Girl...... Sister...... Are you alright? Chu Sanlang's panicked shouts sounded outside, accompanied by a hurried knock on the door.
"Hey, I'm fine." Jiang Cheng'er hurriedly replied.
Han Baichuan waved a palm wind on the bed, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the room quickly.
At the same time, Aunt Zhao, who was unconscious, woke up.
Jiang Cheng'er secretly praised, I really envy people with strong martial arts, but it's a pity that I am a waste material for practicing martial arts, alas!
Jiang Cheng'er opened the door, Chu Sanlang stepped forward anxiously, quickly looked at Jiang Cheng'er, and saw that she was unharmed, so he was relieved.
"Girl, I saw that the window of your room was open, but it scared me, what happened?"
"Just now an assassin tried to get in through a window, and I stabbed him in the shoulder, and he ...... Fell outside, not knowing if it was life or death now. ”
Jiang Cheng'er talked about a very dangerous thing lightly, omitting part of the content.
She didn't tell the part where Master rescued her, and Master retreated from the house in time, not wanting outsiders to know that he had been there.
Assassin! Chu Saburo was shocked, walked a few steps to the window, and saw the blood stains on the woodcutter and on the ground, he was extremely afraid, but fortunately his sister was safe and sound.
He slapped his thigh and was annoyed: "My sister is frightened, and I blame me for falling for the assassin's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." My eldest brother and I heard movement outside the window and chased after each other. Halfway through the chase, I was worried that you would be in danger here, so I turned back. Sure enough, their goal is you, deliberately luring us away. ”
"Third brother doesn't have to blame himself, I'm not good." Jiang Cheng'er smiled and comforted.
"Sister, you are so brave, if you change to another woman, you would have been stunned a long time ago, where do you dare to raise a knife and slash the assassin." Chu Saburo praised from the bottom of his heart.
"My boss is mighty, and I'm ...... It was the scared woman. Aunt Zhao was embarrassed, covered her face with the quilt, and said angrily.
At this time, Chu Dalang ran back and said that the assassin was familiar with the way, and after leading him around a few times, he threw him away.
Jiang Cheng'er analyzed, in this way, the assassin came in a group of at least two people, one was responsible for luring away Brother Chu and Third Brother Chu, and the other was responsible for assassinating her.
It is likely that Zhu Papi's subordinates, the little ruffian in Fengping Town, came to assassinate her to avenge Zhu Papi.
Chu Sanlang asked his eldest brother to protect Jiang Cheng'er in the house every step of the way, and he ran out of the window to take a closer look, there was only a pool of blood on the ground, and the injured assassin was long gone.
Chu Sanlang searched nearby, but there was no trace of the assassin, so he probably fled.
After being frightened at night, Jiang Cheng'er and several people lost their sleepiness, cleaned up the ground, and sat together chatting until dawn.
In the morning, Aunt Zhao's stomach was healed, and they went to the hall to have breakfast, and saw a few guests talking about something with horror.
Jiang Cheng'er listened carefully, and couldn't help but be shocked, what they were talking about was that this morning, the official was horrified to find the body of a gangster, hanging at the gate of the town office, and was cut off on the shoulder before he died.
Jiang Cheng'er said secretly, could it be that the deceased was the assassin who was cut by her and shot down from the window by the master?
With Master's skill, the Assassin would probably have been killed with a single slap at that time.
So who carried the body of the assassin out of the window of the inn and hung it at the door of the town office? Could it be that Master is also it?
What is the purpose of Master's move, to demonstrate to the Yamen? Or is it a warning?
However, Jiang Cheng'er is still quite relieved to think about it, who let that Li Zheng shield Zhu Papi and connive at his subordinates to be rampant. This trick is powerful, and he hangs the corpse directly at his door, which is enough to scare his guts.
After breakfast, Jiang Cheng'er was packing up her things and was about to go home when Sun Liushao came.
He hadn't slept all night, his face was full of tiredness, but his heart was comfortable.
Sun Liushao asked others to avoid it temporarily, and he had something to say to Jiang Cheng'er alone.
There were only two of them left in the room, and Jiang Cheng'er asked quietly: "Presumably, Sun Zhutou went out to succeed last night and wiped out all the gangsters." ”
Sun Liushao nodded: "All the minions of Zhu Peel have been put in prison, and the last two remnants." ”
