Chapter 3: Someone Wants Her Life
At dusk, Shen Junru leaned against the window, and the paper-paste window opened a gap slightly. It's early spring, and after twilight, the weather gets slightly cooler.
It's just that this cold wind can make people more sober.
Shen Junru supported her chin with one hand, and tapped the red lacquer desktop with the other, her eyebrows and eyes slightly constricted, as if she was thinking about something.
"Miss, the bed is made, and you can rest after taking a bath."
"Yes."
Snorted softly and answered.
Soon, Dongmei asked Xiao Er to bring hot water, and the heat was thick, and Shen Junru soaked in the hot water after loosening her clothes.
With a slight sigh, she hadn't been able to soak in such a comfortable hot bath for a long time.
"Miss, you haven't been able to rest well for days, you must be tired."
"It's okay, A-Niang is seriously ill, I can't call her..." lips, as if crying with sadness, "If there is a case, I can't let her and I not even see each other for the last time." ”
Having said that, she knew that in this life, she would never see her mother again.
"Miss, don't say that, Mrs. Jiren has her own nature, and she will definitely turn evil into good fortune, rest for a night, and we will continue to rush tomorrow, according to this footpath, we will be there in three or four days."
"Well, you should rest early, too."
As the master and servant were talking, suddenly there was a sound of trivial footsteps outside. Tonight, the martial artists also went to rest, and the inn was full of people, and it was impossible to keep it as a person with ill intentions.
Shen Junru, who had just been reborn, cherished her life too much, she didn't dare to die, and she didn't want to die. The revenge has not been avenged, the truth of her mother's death has not been clarified, and the future of her younger brother is uncertain, she really has too many things to do.
"Slave and maid go out and have a look."
"Don't go far, come back quickly if there is no one."
Dongmei answered, and turned to go out.
Shen Junru stood up from the bathtub, pulled the gauze robe and wrapped it, stepped on the ground barefoot, and walked to the candle flame while tying the ribbon around her waist to blow it out.
The action was completed, and suddenly someone rushed in, the action was extremely fast, and by the faint moonlight, it could be seen that the other party was dressed in black and masked, holding a steel knife, and slashed at her without saying a word.
"Ahh
Shen Junru exclaimed, firstly, hoping to attract the attention of the people next door, and secondly, she was indeed frightened by this sudden change.
The killer was obviously coming at her, and would pick the time to lure her maid away. Who wanted her life?
She dodged as she reached everything she could throw at them.
"Who are you? Who sent you! ”
"Take people's money, do things for others, and as for the rest, ask Hades to go!"
The killer whispered back, while continuing to swing the knife and slash!
Someone wants her life!
Who is it?
In his previous life, he was in a hurry, and he was closely protected by martial artists and mothers-in-law, but he never encountered such a thing.
Could it be that her fate also changed at the moment of her rebirth with her different choices at every step?
She flipped over the table, and the other party's steel knife slashed at the table.
Shen Junru saw the right time, and was about to rush out.
But the killer seemed to see her intentions, and the blade turned, followed by a swing of the knife.
Shen Junru hurriedly retreated, she didn't know martial arts, all her reactions were instinctive, but she stepped on the debris left in the chaos under her feet, and the whole person fell straight backwards out of control.
Resigned to her fate, closed her eyes, could it be that she was reborn just to make her suffer less in the future, and ended her life here?
No, no, no!
She doesn't accept her fate!
suddenly opened his eyes, but in the next moment, his waist tightened, and then someone dragged the silk around his waist and pulled it directly into his arms.
The nose was full of cold breath, mixed with a little familiar sandalwood.
I saw a flash of cold light, and I couldn't even see how Liu Jian made a move. The killer didn't have the slightest power to parry, he held Shen Junru, and just moved around, and he solved the person.
Shen Junru didn't even see the man's face clearly, he let go of her again, the room was messy, the candle flame had been extinguished, and nothing else could be seen except the tall figure of the man.
"Thank you Childe for coming to the rescue, the little girl can't repay it, if Childe doesn't dislike..."
"Miss, Miss..."
Before the words fell, the movement here attracted the attention of the people at the inn. Dongmei, who had just been led out, saw this thrilling appearance when she hurried back.
"Miss, are you alright?"
anxiously checked Shen Junru's situation left and right.
Shake your head slightly.
"No problem."
Immediately, Li Xiu rushed over, and when he saw the scene in the house and the corpse that was blocked by a sword, he was a little confused, did his master do it with someone?
Feng Min coldly dropped four words.
"Clean up."
Then he walked out with his hands in his hands.
It's a cold and arrogant shelf.
"Girl..."
Li Xiu was a little dazed, his master has always cared about other people's affairs, and today he actually rescued this girl, but the girl was only wearing a gauze skirt, thinking that she was going to rest.
"The girl is frightened, so I'll clean it up now."
So saying, he dragged the body out, and finally closed the door.
Shen Junru was afraid, if Feng Min didn't make a move, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive tonight. It's just that in this way, I owe him the grace of saving his life, and I want to give him some small favors, in order to make a small profit in the future. But I didn't want to, but I owed more to myself.
"Miss, drink a glass of water to suppress the shock, it's really thanks to that son. I don't know who it is, I have to be so cruel to Miss! ”
She couldn't remember who she had offended, and she had to take her life!
The candles in the house are lit up again, and the bloodstains are still there, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep in such a room.
After a while, there was another knock on the door, and then the voice of the shopkeeper came.
"Girl, are you resting?"
"Not yet."
Dongmei opened the door, it turned out that the shopkeeper Xiao Er sent two silver taels, his eyes didn't dare to glance, but he still saw the mess in the house, and immediately showed embarrassment, and said euphemistically.
"Girl, the small shop is just a small business, I really can't stand the toss, you see, this house is now dead, so that the guests next to them know, they are all clamoring to check out, moreover... If this happens again, I'm afraid the shop will be..."
It seems that he asked Shen Junru and his party to leave.
Dongmei was immediately a little angry, their master and servant suffered this catastrophe, and they were going to drive them away before they stopped? Immediately inserted his waist, he was about to reprimand angrily.
"What are you talking about..."
"That's it, it's not us, this house can't sleep, as for the silver taels, it should be a loss for these things."
She didn't care, it made her temples bulge so uncomfortable, and she really didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Dongmei, you went to call everyone, be a little tired, let's hurry overnight, and rest in turns on the way."
"Alas, good girl."
"Wait a while, give me some silver taels, and ask the second brother to help us prepare some dry food and water."
