Chapter 457 A Little Child
Mu Churan motioned to Xiao He not to speak, but he put his ear to the wall and listened quietly. It's just that after listening to it for about a few breaths, I didn't hear any sound.
Maybe there was no one inside, maybe there were people inside, but, for various reasons, they were hidden and didn't want to be found.
Just when Xiao He wanted to persuade Mu Churan to leave again, Mu Churan suddenly hugged Xiao He's waist and jumped, standing firmly on the wall.
Xiao He exclaimed, and under Mu Churan's eyes, he hurriedly stopped it.
It's just that although he didn't say anything anymore, Xiao He looked at Mu Churan angrily, he must have done it on purpose.
Slapping Mu Churan's hand away, Xiao He wanted to say a few words, but seeing Mu Churan's treacherous look, he put his finger to his lips and motioned Xiao He not to make a sound.
Xiao He had to shut up with hatred. At the same time, he patted him angrily.
Mu Churan took his hand back in a sneer, well, Xiao He's waist was still as soft as before.
Just as the two of them stood on the wall, a figure flashed in the room. Mu Chu was startled, and immediately became alert, pulled Xiao He to jump off the wall, came in front of the house, and knocked on the door again.
It's just that, as just now, no one in the house came.
"People inside, you don't have to hide anymore," Mu Churan was not a patient person, after knocking on the door for a while, he saw that there were obviously people inside, but no one came, so he shouted, "I know you are in the house, tell you, I know who took our weapons, you don't have to hide it, you have left many marks on the way, and you can't rely on it." Tell you to return our sword to us, or I will burn down your house and leave you with nowhere to hide. β
Xiao He looked at Mu Churan, could this be too ruthless? If someone just takes a knife, he's going to burn down their house? In case you hurt someone again, how can it be good?
But just when Xiao He wanted to persuade him, he suddenly heard a frightened voice in the door, "Don't don't, don't burn the house, I'll open the door, I'll open the door." β
Mu Churan looked at Xiao He and smiled, and said, "To deal with this kind of person, you have to use this method, otherwise, they will never be afraid." β
Although Xiao He felt that Mu Churan's methods were very effective, he still felt that it was too cruel, especially when he saw that the person who opened the door was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, this feeling was even stronger.
The boy was in tatters all over his body, and his clothes were covered with puddings, one from the east to the other. The face is yellow and thin, and the face is yellow, which is due to the long-term lack of food.
Xiao He looked at it, a little unbearable.
However, Mu Churan didn't care so much, and opened his mouth to ask, "What about our knife?" β
The boy looked evasive, stood by the door with his head down, buckled the door frame and said, "What knife?" How do I know what knife it is? β
"Hmph," Mu Churan was impatient, and immediately pulled out the ordinary knife he had just bought on the street, put it on the child's neck, and threatened, "I want to see if money is important, or your life is important." β
The child's neck was cold, and he was instantly frightened stupid, he really didn't expect that some people really didn't want to die for a knife.
Xiao He looked at Mu Churan with great disapproval, "What are you doing?" He's still a child, what is it that you scare a child? You used to be quite compassionate, why are you so irrational today? β
Although Xiao He accused Mu Churan, Mu Churan was unmoved, and the knife was still on the child's neck, "Let me ask again, where is my knife?" β
After speaking, his hand used a little more force, and the child immediately sensed Mu Churan's intentions, cried a face, looked at Mu Churan, looked at Xiao He, and said in a crying voice: "What..."
"Huh?" Mu Churan made a threatening sound and successfully told the child to shut up.
"Why are you like that?" Xiao He very much disagreed with what Mu Churan did, "He is still a child. β
"But, he's a thief." Mu Churan was unmoved, no matter what disgusted look Xiao He had on his face, the knife in his hand was still firmly on the child's neck, "I'm impatient, I'll count three times, if you don't say it, then I'll cut it." When the time comes, the head falls off, but it can no longer be connected. β
After speaking, no matter how much Xiao He shouted, he began to count down, "Three!" β
The child listened to Mu Churan's cold voice, and a drop of cold sweat was left on his forehead.
Xiao He looked at Mu Churan and said hurriedly: "How can you do this?" He's still a kid, maybe he got the knife because he had to do it, as long as he comes back, how can you hurt him? You see, how pitiful he is. β
Mu Churan didn't listen, just waited coldly for the child, "Two! β
The child's hands were shaking, his face was instantly pale, and his lips were shaking.
Xiao He wanted to step forward and snatch a knife, but heard Mu Churan remind: "If you can't rob it, it is the murderer who killed this child, you better think about it first." β
Xiao He looked at Mu Churan, looked at the child, and had to sigh secretly, giving up the practice of grabbing the knife, just looking at Mu Churan's expression, it was impossible to give up without getting the knife, so he had to say to the child: "Tell us quickly, where is that knife." Don't worry, if you have any difficulties, even if you tell us that we don't have anything else, we still have a little money, and I think I will give you some, which will be enough for you to live. β
Xiao He felt that looking at this child's description, it was probably not about taking those weapons to do the business of killing people and goods, maybe he just wanted to exchange some money.
The kid saw that Xiao He no longer spoke for him, and Mu Churan's face became colder and colder, and the murderous aura in his eyes became more and more vigorous, and he heard Xiao He say that he would give him money, so he gritted his teeth and shouted at the moment when Mu Churan's word "one" was about to exit: "Your weapons are all in the cellar, go see for yourself." β
Mu Churan listened to the child's words, put away the knife, and said coldly: "Okay, let's go and see here, but if you can't find it, I have to trouble you again." β
After speaking, he was about to pull Xiao He's hand, Xiao He raised his hand, staggered Mu Churan's hand, and sneered: "You are a decisive person, I am a woman who is benevolent, we are not the same." β
Mu Churan's eyes narrowed, "Look at his neck, is there a little scar?" β
Xiao He looked at the child carefully, the child's neck was as smooth as ever, there was no trace, and there was no trace of blood.
The child is still groping his neck with palpitations.
"I'm not a murderer, you should understand." Mu Churan explained.
Xiao He snorted coldly, "What you said at this time is good, don't you know what you did just now?" β
Just when the two were fighting against each other, suddenly after the child touched his neck, he stretched out his hand towards Xiao He and said: "You said that you want to give me silver, your knife, I don't know which one it is, but it must still be in the cellar, after you find it, you must give it to me... Give meβ" Scratching his head, he said ruthlessly, "Give me five taels of silver." β
Five taels of silver is two months' wages for a person, which is a lot. The boy tried his best to look innocent and greedy for money, while muttering, "I can finally eat enough." Xiao He saw that the kid was asking for money, nodded, and said kindly: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you money." β
At this time, Mu Churan had already come to the cellar, stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down, but did not go down, turned around and found something with a hook, and hooked the package.
It's just that at the same time that the package was pulled up, a snake suddenly burst out of the package and rushed towards Mu Churan's front door.
"Be careful!" Xiao He was shocked and shouted.
It's just that at the moment she shouted, the child next to her, who was not Mu Churan's opponent, suddenly moved, and with a flip of his hand, several silver needles shot towards Xiao He.
Xiao He hurriedly retreated, but it seemed that something was blocking behind him, he only took half a step back, and then fell backwards, Xiao He wanted to turn over and support the ground with his hands, but the falling speed was too fast, and it was too late to come up.
Xiao He closed his eyes in despair, and in his eyes was the hideous smile of the child who had just returned harmlessness to humans and animals.
"Xiao He." Suddenly, Xiao He's body softened, fell into a warm embrace, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out that Mu Churan came in front of her and hugged her when she was only a few inches from the ground.
"Thank you." Xiao He's frightened heart was pounding, if it weren't for Mu Churan's presence, she probably wouldn't be able to please today. Then he hurriedly asked, "What about the child?" β
Mu Churan helped Xiao He up and mouthed at the child Nunu, who was already dead, with a dart on his head and neck, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was not reconciled.
In the courtyard in the distance, a poisonous snake more than one meter long with a green body was cut in half and lay on the ground softly.
"Are you okay?" Seeing the poisonous snake, Xiao He reacted at this time, ignoring the abrasions on his body, and hurriedly went to see Mu Churan, "Have you been bitten by a poisonous snake?" Are there any injuries? Yes? β
Mu Churan hugged Xiao He, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I already knew that there was a problem here, so I have been on guard." I knew it when the snake came out, and it was only to paralyze the child that I pretended to be ignorant of everything. β
"Then you also knew that there was a snake in the cellar, so you didn't go down, just hooked up?" Xiao He asked sullenly while lying in Mu Churan's arms.
Mu Churan nodded, "Although I don't know what's inside, the hole is extremely deep, and I can't see the situation below from above, and that kid is so suspicious, I naturally can't go down so unprepared." β
Xiao He hugged Mu Churan tightly, and he was afraid. Looking at the appearance of that snake, it is obviously an extremely poisonous snake, if it is really bitten, where is Mu Churan's life at this time?
Remembering that she had misunderstood Mu Churan just now, and pleaded for the child, Xiao He was extremely ashamed, and said sincerely, "Ah Ran, I'm sorry." I shouldn't have doubted you. β
