Chapter 4: Attacked
Chapter 4 Attack
Xiao Ying's answer to her injuries was that she didn't know who the murderer was, and she forgot about it. Lang Zhong didn't doubt it, but said that Xu was scared at that time. The implication is that Xiao Ying has selective amnesia.
After her body gradually became clearer, she took over the work of Wu Po to go to the river to do laundry.
She is not diligent in her limbs, and she is not divided into grains, and Wu Po is blind and talks a lot, and her hands are weak. So the two barely made a draw, and the washed clothes were honored to reach the same level.
It's not good to be a rice worm all the time.
So every morning, Xiao Ying would carry a wooden basin and go to the river to wash clothes.
Talk and laugh with the village women, and take the opportunity to learn more about the dynasty they live in.
The village women are very good at Zhang's family, Li Jiaxiao, but when it comes to other things, they are not very interested.
After washing her clothes for half a month, Xiao Ying only knew that the country she was in now was called Dayuan, which seemed to be taken from the name of the founding monarch. Nanhe Village is a small village under the rule of Fuyang Town in the Yuan Kingdom.
This Great Yuan Kingdom has nothing to do with the Yuan Dynasty Fengma Niu that Xiao Ying knows.
The little bit of history she learned didn't come in handy here.
When someone else has a car accident, they are either dressed as a princess or a queen, even if they are not favored, they have no worries about food and clothing. But when I came to her, for a piece of cornmeal cake, I got up before dawn every day, and wore the stars and the moon every day.
Wu Po didn't instruct her. But at her young age, it's always hard to watch such a blind woman as Wu Po busy from morning to night.
She used to be spoiled by her parents, and the housework was scattered. It was a shame that Wu Po was blind, so the two of them could barely get along.
Daily laundry has become Xiao Ying's habit.
After washing your clothes, go back to dinner.
On this day, as in the past, it was just that when it was warm and cold, the water was a little cold. Xiao Ying couldn't compare to the women who were used to doing the work, and by the time she had washed her last garment, her hands were already frozen. She rubbed her hands together to keep warm. There was a gray-faced girl reflected in the water, and the dead ash on her face had faded by two points, but she still looked weak.
Suddenly.
There was an extra figure in the water.
Xiao Ying's eyes quickly caught a flash of silver light.
She reacted quickly and stepped forward to take a look. Roll into the water with a thud. But there was still an inevitable sharp pain in the shoulder. She dodged the fatal blow, but she couldn't fully avoid the blade. The blade slashed over her shoulder, bringing out a trail of blood, and the moment it entered the water, it stained the river red.
Xiao Ying didn't dare to delay by making a splash, and fluttered forward again, only then did she turn around, and the shout of "help" had already broken through the sky in an instant.
She saw a man with a knife in his hand looking at her gloomily.
Hearing her cry for help, she seemed to retreat.
The man was obviously a little afraid of water, and Xiao Ying paddled a few more feet into the center of the river.
At this time, a figure had already appeared in the distance.
"Help. He's a murderer, and he's killed three girls this month, so don't let him escape. ”
With Xiao Ying's shout, the man suddenly turned around and ran out of the village.
The men in the village usually look lazy, they just like to lie outside the door and bask in the sun, let the women abuse, and never do much work.
But when it comes to the murderer who killed the girl, he is a top croaker.
A village woman ran to the river and put on a coat for Xiao Ying, who had climbed ashore.
The men chased the man in the direction of the man's flight with sticks in hand.
Declined the kindness of the village woman to send her back to Wu Xiucai's house, Xiao Ying held the wooden basin in one hand and slowly moved back to Wu's house with a trembling voice.
The bleeding on his shoulders has stopped, and the clothes on his body are soaked in water, so the blood color will not look too hideous.
Wu Po heard the movement and beckoned Xiao Ying to breakfast.
Xiao Ying said that she was not hungry.
Wu Po doesn't force it, if she can save it, she will save it, this is the way to run a family.
Xiao Ying returned to her cabin and reluctantly changed her wet clothes.
She is a little poorer, and the two or three sets of clothes around her are Xiao Xiucai's old clothes.
If she gets any more blood, she won't even have a change of clothes. So she had to barely pull the placket of her shirt to reveal the injured half of her shoulder.
I thought about beckoning the rat next door for a while and giving him some medicine for going up the mountain.
At this time. Suddenly, the half-hidden wooden door was pushed open. Xiao Ying heard the voice and looked back, and was meeting the man's slightly surprised eyes.
Then, he turned abruptly.
Xiao Ying was stunned.
"Girl, self-respect."
Xiao Ying came back to her senses, it turned out that she was not self-respecting enough, so she scared this cold-faced god.
It's just a bare-shoulder.
Xiao Ying misses modern life very much at this time, wearing a crop top and a backless dress...... Her cabinet is new for the season.
Xiao Ying finally reluctantly pulled her clothes tight.
A pain hit the wound, and she cursed the murderer for not dying well, and opened the door with difficulty. The man was very gentlemanly, and stood a foot outside the door with his sword in his hand. I heard the sound of the door opening, and waited for a moment before slowly turning around.
"Young Master Yin. Something? ”
This person's surname is Yin, and his name is Jiuming.
According to Xiao Xiucai, it is a similar existence of head catchers in the yamen. The reason for the similarity seems to be that this person has no public office. Xiao Ying understands that it is to the effect that it is similar to the current supernumerary personnel. However, it is said that the county magistrate is very respectful of his skills, so he is trying his best to persuade this supernumerary to become a regular.
However, the brain circuit of the master is very strange.
It is better not to take money for day work. and never put on that official uniform......
Xiao Xiucai called it ...... Maverick.
Xiao Ying privately thought that it was really the work clothes of the servants who were ugly. For a person like Yin Jiuming, wearing black clothes can set off his cold and arrogant temperament.
"You're hurt?"
For the sake of this person, he can barely be regarded as half of her life-saving benefactor. Xiao Ying tried to smile.
She felt that her smile was infectious.
But now I look like ...... The fierce god was a little wicked.
The dead air is gone, the living qi is not alive, the bones are rough, and the facial features are distorted. This laugh is really more terrifying than a surprise.
Yin Jiuming frowned.
seemed to hesitate, and finally walked towards Xiao Ying.
“…… Go see Langzhong. ”
After speaking, he pointed at Xiao Ying with his sword, and Xiao Ying was stunned. Then he realized that he was motioning for her to follow him.
This person seemed to be well-intentioned, but helplessly, she was shy in her pocket.
It's really hard to afford the cost of seeing Langzhong.
If memory serves, she still owes him a lot of medical bills.
When I came here, I didn't enjoy the blessings, I suffered a lot, and I still owed a lot of debts.
Once again, fate played with her.
Seeing that she didn't react, Yin Jiuming spoke again with some impatience. "Go and bandage the wound."
"No, no, it doesn't hurt." Xiao Ying hurriedly shook her head.
To increase her persuasiveness, she even shook her shoulders vigorously.
Then holding back tears, he tried to explain. "It's just a flesh wound, we poor families, we don't pay so much attention to it, just chew some herbs and put it on ourselves later."
It hurts to death.
Why hasn't this man left?
Could it be that you are planning to stay for lunch......
She hasn't had lunch yet. I can't entertain him.
"Since you don't have to bandage, then let me go to court."
"To court?" Xiao Ying looked puzzled. "You called the murderer. Naturally, you have to testify in court. ”
"Young Master Yin, can't you see that I am here to protect myself. If I don't call him a murderer, how can I get out of danger? "Did the ancients eat the ancients so much? I don't know how to adapt to local conditions. "Go to the court and say this......"
Xiao Ying finally understood her situation.
Where is this man concerned about her injuries?
He was afraid that she would die on the way, and he couldn't escort her to court.
Before today, Xiao Ying was grateful to Yin Jiuming. This man did justice and saved her when everyone was expecting her to die. also paid a lot of medicine for her.
Today, I realized that this is a complete cold-faced god.
No wonder Xiao Xiucai always said that with Yin Jiuming here, the yamen doesn't have to stick to the door god. He could wear many hats.
