Chapter 137: Dried Blood
In the dark night, there was only faint moonlight and starlight, except for the sound of rain hitting the raincoat, the sound of several people stepping on puddles, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
At this time, if they were in the middle of the forest, or if there were a few big trees nearby, they would not have such a hard time.
"Knock! Knock! Knock! ”
Xin Jiuyuan knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Is anyone home?"
"We're stuck in the rain, can we spend the night?"
Hao Ren explained his intentions, but no one answered.
Xin Jiuyuan glanced at her, pushed the door open, and the candles in the room were bright, but there was no one to see.
Hao Ren looked around, there were tools for farming, as well as food and clothing.
"There should be someone living here, but I don't know where the owner's house has gone."
It was pouring rain outside, and Hao Ren was a little worried.
"Fort Road, make a fire."
Xin Jiuyuan took off Hao Ren's raincoat, held her hand to his mouth, and breathed hot.
"Don't care about anyone else, just you for now."
Among them, except for Hao Ren and Fu Delu, who don't know martial arts, the rest of them all have internal strength to protect their bodies.
Fu Delu is a man, and his body is naturally strong, but Hao Ren is different.
"You went down to Jiangnan in person, didn't you just come here to take care of others?"
Hao Ren's hands are cold, but his heart is warm.
"In my heart, you will always come first, if I can't protect even one of you, how can I protect the world."
Hao Ren smiled silently, his eyes red.
How fortunate she is to meet a gentleman who loves beauty but does not love the country.
"Don't be moved, go and sit by the fire."
Xin Jiuyuan rubbed the top of Hao Ren's head and pulled her to sit by the fire.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, there is a bed here, you can go and rest, we will guard here."
Qingya had already made the bed, and her private things were not very good, so she put a silver ingot in the bedside table.
It's a pity that there is no pen and paper here, so I can't explain it.
The feeling of uneasiness in Hao Ren's heart was still there, and she didn't dare to sleep tonight.
"Go and rest, I'm pretty warm by the fire."
Qingya glanced at Xin Jiuyuan and got instructions before retreating.
"My valet listens to you."
"Naturally, listen to me."
Xin Jiuyuan hugged Hao Ren and sat around the fire, and the others were also around, the bed that had been made was destined to be left out in the cold.
Hao Ren leaned on Xin Jiuyuan's shoulder, drowsy.
The rain outside was getting louder and louder, but the owner didn't come back.
Hao Ren struggled to hold his eyelids, and saw the dark red on the ground in the firelight.
Look along the dark red, and finally stop at an axe standing in the corner.
In an instant, Hao Ren was completely sleepy, and looked at Xin Jiuyuan in surprise.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
As early as when he knocked on the door, Xin Jiuyuan could already smell the faint smell of blood in the air.
After entering, I found blood stains on the ground, but the light in the room was too dim, and the blood stains dried up, mixed with the color of the ground, and it was not easy to find.
If it weren't for the light of the flame, Hao Ren would not have noticed it if he left tomorrow morning.
"The blood stains on the ground have long since dried up, and the smell of blood in the house has also dissipated, it should have been left this morning, but it is impossible to know whether it is human blood or the blood left by the killing of poultry by the farmer."
Kill chickens and ducks with an axe?
Do you don't use an ax to kill a pig?
Besides, it had been raining heavily outside for a day, and there were no other birds in the house, which was too unconvincing.
In order to appease her, the beauty really dared to say anything.
"Tomorrow, if the rain does not stop......"
