Chapter 112: News from Caojia Village
Coincidentally, the guests at that table were from Cloud City! The guy pointed to a corner of the lobby.
I saw a father and son sitting there, both of whom were dressed simply, acted neatly, and looked like people from afar.
"They are medicinal herb merchants, and they came to Xianji City yesterday!" The guy explained.
Before he could finish explaining, Cao Zhijin had already stood up.
And the father and son at the table also looked at Cao Zhijin.
The man's voice was not small, they could hear the conversation between the two all the time, and when they heard that this girl was looking for someone from Cloud City, they naturally looked over to this side.
"The girl is looking for someone from Yuncheng?" The father asked.
"Excuse me!" Cao Zhijin hugged his fist towards them and said, "I wonder if the two of you have heard of Caojia Village in Cloud City?" ”
"The girl is from Caojia Village?" The father looked at Cao Zhijin with a strange gaze for a moment.
"Of course not!" Out of vigilance, Cao Zhijin denied his origins.
"It's just that a while ago, I had a friend who was a dart master passing by Caojia Village, and I got the news that something happened in Caojia Village, I don't know if my friend is okay?"
She thought of Cao Li, so she made up a random statement.
When the father heard this, he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, girl, your friend will be fine!"
"It's best that way! It's just that why are the elders so sure? Cao Zhijin asked puzzled.
I only heard the father explain: "There is indeed an accident in Caojia Village, but I only heard that the daughter and son-in-law of the village chief of Cao are gone, it is really a sin, that day happened to be the day when the two children got married, their new home was burned all night, and there was nothing left the next day!"
"I don't know if they're burned to ashes or gone!"
"Everyone said it might have disappeared, because it was said that there were many guests in the courtyard at that time! The next day, the guests woke up in a clearing far away, and everyone was safe and sound! I don't see Village Chief Cao's in-laws, daughter and son-in-law alone! ”
"Since nothing happened to others, then your friend is naturally safe and sound!"
"What about Village Chief Cao?" Cao Zhijin asked urgently.
"Village Chief Cao is also among the villagers, so he is naturally safe and sound! It's just that the only daughter is gone, and Village Chief Cao's temperament has changed greatly, he doesn't go out all day long, and he doesn't speak, so it's useless to persuade anyone! ”
"It turns out that my father-in-law is gone!" Cao Zhijin muttered to himself.
"What father-in-law?" The father asked.
"Huh? I'm talking about the injustice of heaven, and I can't see bad people doing evil! Cao Zhijin had an idea and said foolishly.
"Not really!" The father sighed, "Although Village Chief Cao is only a village chief, his reputation in Cloud City is not small, I didn't expect the sky to be unpredictable, alas, it's a pity!" ”
He was curious for a moment, looked at Cao Zhijin and said, "I see that the girl is very concerned about the affairs of Village Chief Cao, does she know Village Chief Cao?"
"No, it was my friend who said that Village Chief Cao was his benefactor, and he went to visit him on purpose!" Cao Zhijin continued to fool.
The father nodded knowingly, "No wonder you're so worried about your friend!"
Cao Zhijin cheered up and smiled at him: "Thank you for telling me so much, since my friend is fine, then I am much more relieved!"
"It's a trivial matter, girl, please!"
After Cao Zhijin left, the boy in his family pulled the father and said, "Father, how did I hear that the girl just said 'father-in-law'?"
"Nonsense!" The father disagreed, "If she really said 'father-in-law', then wouldn't she become the daughter of Village Chief Cao?" Didn't you hear the guy call her 'Miss'? Village Chief Cao's daughter is just a commoner, and this young lady is the eldest lady with a family background at first glance!"
"Father is right!" The boy was no longer entangled.
Cao Zhijin went upstairs and closed the door, and his body suddenly softened.
Why did even my father-in-law have an accident!
Before she knew it, it was noon, and she had been sitting on the cold ground for so long, but she had only recovered until now.
It's time for dinner again, and there is a lot of noise downstairs.
The sound of doors opening and closing next door sounded from next door, and the footsteps passing by the door of her room walked away......
Another passed by the door of her room, and the sound of footsteps coming from the opposite direction of the previous voice came to a halt at the door of her room.
Knock knock knock......
There was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Cao Zhijin didn't know that his voice was already dumb!
"Miss, the little one is here to bring you food! The man outside the door replied.
"I didn't order food!" Cao Zhijin said suspiciously, and opened the door.
Before she could see the people outside, she was pushed by a strong force and staggered back several meters.
The man entered the room and closed the door with his hands back!
He was dressed in the clothes of an innkeeper, but he had a face that was completely unfamiliar to Cao Zhijin!
She may not be able to name the guys in this inn, but everyone has a familiar face, and she can guarantee that she has never seen this person in front of her!
"You're not an inn buddy, who are you?" Cao Zhijin vigilantly moved to the side of the bed, there was a drug she hid under the pillow!
"Go down to the ground and ask Hades about this question!" He drew his dagger and stabbed at Cao Zhijin!
His speed was so fast that Cao Zhijin had no ability to react! She seems to be fixed there by him, like fish on the board, which can only be slaughtered by others!
In the flash of lightning, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a long sword flew in first, stabbing straight at the back of the assassin pretending to be a buddy.
Out of instinct, the assassin gave up assassinating Cao Zhijin, turned around and used the dagger in his hand to block the flying long sword!
The long sword was struck back, and the owner of the sword took the hilt of the sword lightly and walked into the house.
Cao Zhijin saw that it was the person who lived next door to her!
Who is he? Why help her?
"Who are you? Be nosy! The Assassin warned him.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man engaged in the Assassin's struggle.
Cao Zhijin doesn't know martial arts, he just feels that the two of them are very fast, and it is difficult for the two to distinguish between victory and defeat for a while!
Obviously, the person who rescued her didn't expect the assassin to be so good!
For a moment, the assassin completely ignored the threat of his sword and suddenly approached him, as if he wanted to risk his injuries to deal a fatal blow to the man who saved her!
The person who saved him had no choice but to withdraw his sword to block, but he didn't want that person to take advantage of the fact that when the two weapons were entangled, he suddenly took out a handful of something from his arms and sprinkled it on the person who saved him!
Although it was just ordinary soot, it fascinated the eyes of the person who saved her.
Suddenly losing light, his movements revealed many flaws!
The Assassin raised his dagger and slashed at his face.
The man who rescued him instinctively dodged backwards, and although he was not injured, the hood on his head was torn open, and the black veil was blown up by the wind with his movements, and ran from the place of the rift.
The face of the man who saved him was completely exposed!
"Lian Feng, why are you!" Cao Zhijin looked at this familiar face and exclaimed in surprise.
That's right, the person who saved her at this moment was Luo Qinghe's personal guard Lian Feng!
