Lin Yingxue smelled a hint of danger from the middle-aged woman's words, but she couldn't protect herself now, and she was not interested in exploring what secrets were hidden in this strange village, all she wanted was to take care of her body safely and leave here.

However, things did not seem to be as she had hoped, and on the fifth day of her stay in this peasant house, another outsider entered the village, and the identity of this person did not seem to be simple.

“…… I said a long time ago not to bring this inexplicable woman back, the adults will come over in a while, if the adults find out that we have taken in a foreign woman, not only will that woman die, but even our family may be affected! ”

Outside came the voice of a young man. Lin Yingxue has been recuperating in the room, and she can't get off the ground because of her foot injury, so she hasn't been out of the room so far, as for her meals and meals on weekdays, the middle-aged woman personally brought in from the outside, but through the mouth of the middle-aged woman, that is, Sister-in-law Zhang, she learned that the couple also had a son, and it should be Sister-in-law Zhang's son who came to speak.

She had never seen their son in Sister-in-law Zhang's mouth, and even Sister-in-law Zhang's husband, Brother Zhang, she rarely saw it. The person she saw the most in this room was Sister-in-law Zhang, and the family seemed to be very busy, leaving early and returning late every day, and even Sister-in-law Zhang was usually not at home for most of the time.

Every time she saw Sister-in-law Zhang come over to take care of her with a tired face, Lin Yingxue would involuntarily feel a touch of guilt in her heart. Sometimes she also wants to ask Sister-in-law Zhang's family what they are doing every day when they are so tired, but she remembers that Sister-in-law Zhang told that she shouldn't ask more, so she buried these questions in her heart.

The thoughts in my head flashed by, and the voice outside sounded again: "...... Your mother is kind, you don't know it, now that the person has brought it back, don't think so much now! Adults should just stop by to see you, let's not let adults find out that there are outsiders in the house......"

The male voice that sounded this time was thick and calm, it should be Sister-in-law Zhang's father-in-law, Brother Zhang.

“…… Hmph, Xinci, have you forgotten who you are? The people of the Rong Dynasty deserve to die......"

"Su'er, what are you talking nonsense, don't let the girl in the house hear......"

Although the young man's words were blocked by Sister-in-law Zhang in time, Lin Yingxue still heard the sentence 'everyone in the Rong Dynasty deserves to die' clearly. Her expression changed suddenly-the name of this dynasty is Rong, and she is also a citizen of this dynasty, how could someone say such a thing? Unless...... These people are not the people of this dynasty.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Lin Yingxue broke out in a cold sweat behind her, and as soon as this thought rose, it grew like a weed, filling her mind in an instant.

If this speculation was true, it would explain where the hostility of the villagers she had felt in her daze came from, as well as the murderous intent that the young man had now revealed to her...... If it weren't for the kindness of this couple, I am afraid that she would have died at the hands of this young man instead of at the entrance of the village......

All kinds of thoughts and emotions were surging in Lin Yingxue's mind, but when she heard that the outside suddenly became quiet, she couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart - presumably the adults in this family's mouth had already come.

I wonder who this family is? Judging from the respect revealed in the mouth of this family, this so-called 'adult' must be extraordinary!

Although she knew that if her speculation was true, the less she should know now, the better, but driven by strong curiosity, Lin Yingxue still cautiously turned over and got out of bed, and endured the severe pain, holding her breath and limping to the door.

The voice outside was not loud, Lin Yingxue in front didn't hear it, only heard an unfamiliar male voice behind her: "...... Zhang Su, you came in and behaved well, and when our business is done, I will consider recommending it to the people above to transfer you out of the village and go outside to give full play to your talents......"

The strange man said a lot of words, to the effect that he just praised the ability of Zhang's sister-in-law's son, and promised some benefits, so that the family would be more willing to do things for him. If you meet a good master, the benefits of these words may come true, but if you meet someone who is not ladylike, these words will always be empty and give people a thought.

But Zhang Su obviously liked this very much, and replied excitedly: "Please rest assured, the little one will do his best to help the master complete the big plan!" ”

"Good!" The strange middle-aged man seemed very happy when he heard this, and said: "Let's go, there is a rumor from above, the master may have a move in the near future, you take me to that place to see, at this juncture, there can be no mistakes!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Su's respectful answer came from outside, Lin Yingxue heard that the strange man was leaving, and was about to return to the bed, but at this time, she heard the person outside the door: "Why is there such a big smell of medicine in this room, are any of you injured?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Lin Yingxue's heart tightened, and she suddenly stopped moving, and she was still like this in the house, not to mention the Zhang family who was facing the strange man outside at this time.

There was silence outside for a while, and just as Lin Yingxue looked around the house, thinking about whether to quickly find a place to hide, Sister-in-law Zhang's slightly trembling voice sounded outside: "Yes, it's the little woman who is sick and is taking medicine recently, if it smokes the adult, please forgive the adult......

Xu was so nervous that the trills in Sister-in-law Zhang's words could even be heard clearly by Lin Yingxue, who was in the house, let alone the people outside! Such an abnormality, it is difficult to guarantee that people outside will not be suspicious, Lin Yingxue frowned, not too worried about her situation at this time, but worried that her exposure would affect this kind-hearted couple.

But the strange man outside seemed to trust the family very much, and after a while, he left without saying anything.

Lin Yingxue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the footsteps gradually moving away, the door was quickly pushed open, and when Sister-in-law Zhang came in and saw Lin Yingxue standing in the middle of the room with a table, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Girl, you ......"

Lin Yingxue glanced at Sister-in-law Zhang, who was surprised, and didn't care about explaining, but hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, help me find another place to hide!" ”

Although she hadn't seen the strange man with her own eyes, the people in the officialdom were somewhat scheming, not to mention that this village was not simple at first glance, if the strange man was really the leader behind the scenes, it would never have been possible to leave so hastily!

Sister-in-law Zhang, who didn't think so much at all, saw Lin Yingxue's anxious look, and her heart suddenly became nervous, "There is no place to hide around here, but there is a cellar for pickles at home, which ordinary people don't know, so I wronged the girl to go in first and stay for a while!" ”

Seeing that Lin Yingxue nodded and said that she didn't mind, Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly said to the middle-aged man who was still outside: "Old Zhang, hurry, go and open the cellar door!" ”

Lin Yingxue didn't shy away from the middle-aged man outside when she talked to Sister-in-law Zhang, and after the middle-aged man glanced at Lin Yingxue with an inquiring gaze, he hurriedly opened the cellar door according to Sister-in-law Zhang's instructions.

Because of the inconvenience of their legs and feet, it took a lot of effort for the two to temporarily send Lin Yingxue into the cellar. The cellar seemed to have been left unattended for a long time, and the gloomy and humid air made Lin Yingxue cover her mouth and cough twice, and her already unpleasant face became even more ugly.

"Sister-in-law, don't forget to clean up the room!" Otherwise, it was seen that there were traces of outsiders living in the room, and the Zhang family would still suffer.

After Lin Yingxue's reminder, Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly went back to the room to clean up, and the middle-aged man stopped and glanced at Lin Yingxue meaningfully, then closed the cellar door and left quickly.

Let's hope you don't find any clues. When the last glimmer of light also disappeared with the closing of the cellar door, Lin Yingxue thought in her heart.

Sure enough, as Lin Yingxue expected, after Sister-in-law Zhang had just finished cleaning up the traces she had left, two men dressed as guards turned back.

"We lost something, and we were specially asked to come back and look for it!" After the guard finished speaking indifferently, he didn't wait for the Zhang family and his wife to answer, so he pushed the door straight in and rummaged through the rooms, but in the end, he naturally couldn't find anything.

"I guess I lost it somewhere else, let's look elsewhere." When he left, he just said this sentence and swaggered away.

It wasn't until they were sure that the two would not come back that the middle-aged couple breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"The smell in the cellar is terrible, and the air is not circulating, let's get Miss Lin out quickly." As Sister-in-law Zhang spoke, she was anxiously about to open the cellar door, but the middle-aged man on the side grabbed her arm.

"I think that woman is a little ......not simple," the middle-aged man had a hesitant look on his face.

Sister-in-law Zhang knows her husband best, and when she saw her husband showing such a look, she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, "Old Zhang, what do you mean ......?"

"The ventilation of the cellar is not good, and the door can only be opened from the outside...... "That means that as long as they lock Lin Yingxue in the cellar for a few days, Lin Yingxue will definitely die."

Sister-in-law Zhang looked at the killing intent flashing in her husband's eyes, and was so shocked that she took several steps back on the spot, "Old Zhang, that girl is well-behaved and skillful, and she has never inquired about things in the village since she came." Now she's just acting a little smarter, and you're going to ...... That's a human life! ”

Sister-in-law Zhang looked a little excited, but there was no movement in her hands, it was obvious that as long as the middle-aged man was resolute at this time, this kind-hearted woman was very likely to compromise with her husband.

However, the middle-aged man hesitated for a while, but finally changed his mind, "I think that woman is calm and calm, not like an ordinary person, no one knows what Li Yan's human-faced beast-hearted thing will do to us in the end, maybe this girl who saved her can help our son in the future......"

Listening to her husband's words, Sister-in-law Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and the two walked in the direction of the cellar with heavy faces, and their emotions seemed to be even lower than Fang Cai.
