Chapter 690: The Tenth Reincarnation 6
It was originally a very simple thing, but because of the atmosphere at this time and the severity of the man's injuries, it became extremely difficult, and Bai Wei was so nervous that she was sweating after giving him the medicine.
Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door came "bang bang bang", which frightened Bai Wei and almost didn't jump up.
After reacting, the first thing Bai Wei did was to quickly stuff all the things in her hand into the cabinet, and then pushed the man in black into the bed and covered him tightly with the quilt.
Bai Wei calmed down her emotions for a moment before she asked in a slightly impatient voice, "Who?"
"Girl, it's me, Cui'e. A young woman outside the door answered.
"Cui'e, is there anything wrong with this late hour?" Bai Wei asked casually.
Cui'e replied: "There are many officers and soldiers from outside, saying that there are assassins who have escaped to our Yingxiang Mansion and need to be interrogated by them. When the slave saw that the light was still on in the girl's room, she thought that the girl had not slept, so she came and asked if she had heard any suspicious sounds or seen any suspicious people.
- So he was really an assassin?
Bai Wei was shocked, subconsciously glanced back at the quilt on her bed, and said calmly: "I have fallen asleep before, I was awakened by the sound of thunderstorms outside the house, and I lit the lamp just to find some water to drink, and I didn't see any suspicious people." β
"That's fine, the slave and maid will retreat, and ask the girl to rest early. Cui'e seemed to have expected to get Bai Wei's answer a long time ago, and her tone did not fluctuate at all.
After hearing Cui'e say to retreat, Bai Wei immediately got up and came to her door, poked her head to listen to the movement outside, but she didn't hear anything except the sound of rain.
Slightly relieved, Bai Wei quickly looked at the things in the room again, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual before blowing out the candle.
However, she did not go to bed, but still sat at the table, and there was a strange man lying on her boudoir, and that man was most likely the assassin that the official was looking for.
The second is that she is a little uneasy in her heart, the official is so aggressive, he will definitely not believe her words so easily, if they don't believe Cui'e's words for a while, they have to come over to search room by room, what should it be?
But it turned out that Bai Wei's worries were unnecessary, and she waited for a long time with fear, until finally she fell asleep on the table in a daze, and no one came to the door again.
Xu didn't sleep well because of something in his heart, and after sleeping for more than an hour, Bai Wei suddenly woke up for some reason.
She shook her dazed head, and came to her bedside in the dark, wanting to see how the man in black was doing.
She lifted the quilt covering the man, and reached out to touch the man's face with a shudder, she wanted to pull off his masked black scarf to find out if he still had a snort.
As a result, as soon as her hand touched the man's neck, a large and hard hand like iron tongs grabbed her wrist.
"Who are you!" the man asked in a deep voice.
Bai Wei was shocked, and she couldn't care about this man scratching her wrist so rudely, so she hurriedly asked, "Are you awake?" You are injured, the arrow is still on your back, I don't know how to do medicine, I don't know what to do." β
In the darkness, the man's breathing was a little heavy, and he muttered for a long time before he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Yingxiang Building, right?"
Bai Wei's heart tightened slightly, and she let out a soft "um".
"Haven't any officials been here?" the man asked.
"Yes, yes, but they didn't come and check it out in person. It was a girl under Wang's mother who came over and asked me a few words, and then left. Bai Wei replied truthfully.
"It's strange when the official has become so careless. The man's tone was a little sarcastic.
"I also think it's strange that they didn't come after waiting for a long time, and I've been thinking about what excuse I should find to refuse them to come in and search. Bai Wei subconsciously agreed.
"Oh, the girl is not very old, but she is not too bold, do you know who I am?" the man chuckled, as if with some disdain.
"You...... You must be the assassin they're looking for. Bai Wei replied.
"If you know, why don't you hand me over to them?" the man asked, puzzled.
Bai Wei was stunned, she hadn't thought about this question before, why did she want to save him, why didn't Cui'e think about giving this man out when she came to the door and said that there was an assassin hiding in Yingxiang Building?
After thinking for a while, Bai Wei replied, "Maybe...... It's because you said you didn't want to hurt me before you fell into a coma. If I hand you over, maybe there will be one less chivalrous man in this world who punishes dog officials for the people. β
"How do you know I'm going to assassinate the dog officer?" the man asked rhetorically in a faint tone.
"It's thunderstorming outside, the weather is very bad, if you're just a robber who robs a house, the official is not so active, no matter how fast you have to wait until the rain stops and the sky is dawn. They braved the pouring rain to search Yingxianglou, which can only mean that the person you want to assassinate must have a background. Bai Wei replied unhurriedly.
"Heh, you're smart. The man chuckled, paused and asked, "Why do you want to stay in a place like Yingxianglou?"
Bai Wei sighed, and her tone was a little resentful: "I am a female streamer, and I was sold to the Qinglou after my family fell into the middle of the road, and I didn't try to escape, but I was caught every time." So...... That's probably all it takes. β
Although Bai Wei didn't elaborate, the man was not a fool, and he could guess what kind of inhuman treatment these women who were sold to the Qinglou would be treated after they escaped and were caught.
Then the room fell silent, and the sound of rain dripping could be faintly heard outside the window, but all the two could hear now was the sound of each other's breathing.
Bai Wei is a woman after all, so she reacted a little weird to the atmosphere first, and struggled slightly.
Only then did the man in black realize that he was still holding the girl's hand, so he quickly let go of her and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm just ......."
"It's okay, it's only reasonable that you martial arts practitioners are more alert than ordinary people. Before the man could come up with a wording, Bai Wei replied very understandingly.
"Huh. The man in black smiled bitterly and fell silent.
After a long time, Bai Wei was a little suspicious that the man had fallen asleep again, and was about to get up, when she suddenly heard the man say softly: "Girl, it seems ...... I'm going to bother you with one thing. β
"What's the matter?" Bai Wei hurriedly asked.
"Ahem......" The man coughed twice in a very suppressed manner, but this cough touched the wound on his back, and he snorted in pain.
"You...... What should I do with your injuries?" Bai Wei then remembered that he still had injuries on his body.
The man suddenly reached out and held Bai Wei's hand again, and said earnestly: "Bother the girl to get a jar of wine." β
"Now?" Bai Wei asked stunned.
"Yes, the sooner the better. The man said firmly.
Bai Wei thought about it, gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, you wait for me, I'll be back in a while." β
Cautiously out of the door and out of the courtyard, Bai Wei secretly went to the wine cellar and brought a jar of good wine, and then tiptoed back to her house.
"Childe, the wine has been brought, are you going to ...... Do you want to drink it?" Bai Wei asked softly after placing the wine on the table.
"Miss Lao helped me up. A weak man's voice came from the bed.
Bai Wei walked over, carefully helped him out of bed, and then sat down at the table with him.
It was already the second half of the night, and the men and women outside who were drunk and drunk and drunk in the wine pool and meat forest had almost stopped, Bai Wei thought about it, and still took out the fire fold and lit the candle in the house.
As soon as the fire lit up, both of them were stunned. The man was stunned, naturally he didn't expect Bai Wei to be such a stunning woman, and Bai Wei was stunned because the man had pulled down the black scarf covering his face at some point, revealing a young and handsome face.
The two looked at each other for a while, as if they felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Bai Wei twisted her head to the side with some embarrassment, and said softly: "Childe, you ...... Your wine. β
The man coughed embarrassedly, picked up the wine on the table, opened the lid and drank booze.
"Heyβslow down!" Bai Wei hurriedly persuaded.
After the man poured half of his own jar of wine, he suddenly said solemnly: "Girl, please forgive me for being rude!"
Before Bai Wei could react to what he meant, she saw a flicker in front of her, and the man quickly took off his clothes, revealing his strong and powerful chest.
"Ah......" Bai Wei's face turned red, and she hurriedly covered her face, and the whole person turned to the other side, too ashamed to look at him.
"Girl, I'm sorry, but I'm still going to trouble you...... Help me get the arrow out of my back. The man's voice sounded painful when he said this, and it was completely different from Fang Cai's tone.
Bai Wei was puzzled, and when she looked back, she found that this man actually poured the remaining half of the jar of wine he had just drunk on his back.
The liquor washed his wounds, and the hot feeling hurt just by looking at it, Bai Wei really didn't know how this man did it to him.
"You ......" Bai Wei was dumbfounded for a moment.
After pouring the wine, the man took out a dagger from his waist with trembling hands and handed it to Bai Wei, and ordered: "Roast the blade on the candle flame, and then dig out the arrow on my back, don't bear it, otherwise I will only suffer more." β
Bai Wei took the dagger in a daze, and had no choice but to do as the man said.
But when she had finished roasting the blade, she couldn't do anything in the face of the bloody hole in the man's back with an arrow, and her hands were now shaking more than the man's hands that were trembling with pain.
