Chapter 167: Stagnant Water
Li Jicai avoided the eyes of the late lady and didn't want to look at her head-on, maybe there was a reason for the lack of heart, but I had to consider that if the late lady deliberately came to deceive her.
Wanniang also knew in her heart that Li Jicai would not believe her just by one side, of course, her intuition was not absolutely accurate, she just felt that this woman was not ordinary.
The two women engaged in a psychological tug-of-war.
When Dr. Shi didn't take care of Li Jicai, he came over from his late mother, from morning to night.
Li Jicai was anxious to go out to find some opportunities, but Wanniang stared at her very closely, so that Li Jicai had no chance to get out.
If it continues to be delayed like this, the agreement between her and Jiang Xichen will all be null and void.
Every day except to be trapped in the room and thinking nonsense, Li Jicai has no other way.
Of course, there is another point, which is to compromise like the late lady in front of you.
This late lady who suddenly appeared would take the initiative to reveal something about this cottage to her from time to time to seduce her.
Compared with men, Li Jicai is more afraid of women, perhaps because of the influence her stepmother has caused her.
Li Jicai does not go out in the room, and the fact that there is no change does not mean that there is no change in the situation outside.
Gradually, she could feel that the people outside were starting to get busy, and the frequency of people coming and going every day became more and more.
On a few occasions, someone even banged on his door, then pushed it open and came in, looked around the room, saw that there was nothing to take, and then exited.
Is something happening out there?
Could it be that Jiang Xihu couldn't bear the loneliness anymore and led people to search the mountain, so the mountain bandits were going to escape?
Li Jicai was a little unsure.
It wasn't until the ninth day, when Li Jicai was basically about to give up, that the late mother told her something when she delivered dinner in the evening.
They were leaving the cottage, she said.
Leave this cottage? What do you mean? Could it be that they don't just have this one den, one stockade?
So if Jiang Xihu finds it, won't he have to pounce?
The three holes of the cunning rabbit are not unreasonable.
Looking at Li Jicai with burning eyes, the look in his eyes was a little excited, seeing that Li Jicai was a little flustered, why did he look at himself with such eyes?
In the faint and flickering candlelight, the evening lady's expression flickered and disappeared, and her beautiful face was a little hazy.
"Why hasn't Dr. Shi come back yet?" Li Jicai still didn't plan to deal with Wanniang's words head-on, she still couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe the woman in front of her.
But apparently the other party did not intend to let her go.
"What are your plans? If you have any plans, just say it, and I'll help you, otherwise it's too late. ”
"Why is it too late?" Li Jicai subconsciously replied, and regretted it after finishing speaking, doesn't this mean that she admits that she does have a plan?
Hearing Li Jicai's words, Wanniang's body, which was originally standing at the head of the bed, pounced on Li Jicai, sat on the bed, and then propped her hands on the quilt and leaned forward.
This kind of almost rude action is extremely rare to appear in the evening lady who usually looks gentle and gentle.
"Sure enough, I guessed it!" Wan Niang's tone was extremely determined, with a smile on her face.
"I don't think you're an ordinary person, you were so badly injured, you were able to endure it without crying or making trouble, did you break your arms and legs alive in the first place? You're too ruthless, you can bear it when it hurts so much? ”
"......" Li Jicai sighed almost appointedly: "You just said that it was too late, why?" ”
"Because the owner of the village will soon lead everyone to the cave in the mountain, even if the officers and soldiers attack it, they will not be able to find them."
"Why do you know?"
"Don't you see those people busy moving things these days?"
"Everyone? But I saw ......"
"You see a group of people coming down the hill on time and on point, and then going up the mountain, right? If you guessed correctly, the group of officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain declare war every day, you also know, right? ”
Li Jicai glanced at the late lady suspiciously, she obviously didn't say anything, nothing was exposed, why could this woman guess so clearly and touch so accurately.
"Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Wuxian does not give up, he takes his brothers to fight those officers and soldiers every day, he has no idea of retreating at all."
"Didn't you say that there was a dislike between you, the hall master, and the village master? Didn't Zhao Wuchen know about moving? ”
Wanniang shook her head, and then said with a little confidence: "Zhao Wuzhen doesn't know about this, if he knows about this, I'm afraid that he has already quarreled with the owner of the village, and he is even more reluctant to retreat, this village was built by them, so he is reluctant to give up." ”
"But Zhao Wuxian should know the gap between them and the officers and soldiers, Xiao Qiang is right, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood." However, through the description of the late mother, Li Jicai sensitively smelled some breath of permission to operate.
Maybe this is the way to break the game, between Xiao Qiang and Zhao Wuxian.
"That's what I said, but the matter between men, women, where can I guess clearly, they are different from women."
"What do you want?" Li Jicai felt that this matter might still need the help of the late mother.
"What is there to look forward to when a person is already a broken flower and a willow?" The smile on Wan Niang's face did not diminish in the slightest.
When she said this, Li Jicai was a little confused, is this late lady friend or foe?
"Are you here to destroy this stockade? Are you a man of officers and soldiers? If yes, I can help you. ”
"But why? In fact, you live well in this village, and you must know that if you are exterminated by officers and soldiers, you will not be able to get out of it. ”
"Wanniang is not literate, but she also knows that this mountain bandit is the most vicious people, and when she mixes with them, she is already a filthy person, but her conscience is not clear, and she can no longer see innocent people die in vain."
"You are so bold, if you are wrong, I tell you the secret, what about you?"
"It's not a pity to die a bad life!" Holding on to the original soft words, he suddenly became solemn, and the expression on his face also had a hint of fierceness. "And I believe, I believe in my vision."
Wan Niang herself doesn't say that she has read countless people, at least he has seen a lot of ugly people in this village, maybe someone is the kind of person who can't be a villain by nature.
Li Jicai felt it, and the late mother was desperate.
"If you believe me, I will blow the wind in Zhao Wuheng's ears tonight, saying that you will set off with the owner of the village early tomorrow morning, and you will move to the cave on the mountain, so say that Xiao Qiang will leave this village to Zhao Wuxian."
Li Jicai believes that she can grasp this scale well, and Wanniang can see that she is a smart person.
"You want to drive a wedge between them?" Wan Niang frowned, did she feel that something was inappropriate.
After all, Zhao Wuxian is a very suspicious person, if she says this again at this moment, will she doubt herself?
"Maybe in normal times, saying this is suspected of stirring up trouble for no reason, but Zhao Wuheng has had a lot of friction with Xiao Qiang during this period of time, and I heard the doctor and those mountain bandits whispering about this, so ...... By the way, when did Xiaoqiang say he would move to the mountains? ”
Li Jicai suddenly remembered this, frowned and asked.
"There is no news from Xiao Qiang's side, saying what day it is, but it is said that it will be two days soon."
"Can't wait, I can't wait." Li Jicai shook his head.
"How sure are you?"
"I can't predict, I can only do my best." Li Jicai shook her head, she wasn't sure.
Wan Niang's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile: "You are half paralyzed, you can still hear so much news, a little trick, Doctor Shi is afraid that you have a lot of news, right?" ”
"......" Li Jicai touched her nose weakly, she did find out a lot of news from Dr. Shi.
Looking at the late lady in a pink dress and a smile with a beaded hairpin on her head, Li Jicai felt that she should have been more beautiful when she was younger than now. As the years passed, the corners of the beauty's eyes had wrinkles and became old.
The late lady took Li Jicai's hand and said a lot of affectionate words, like a lady from an ordinary family. Who would have thought that they were in a den of thieves at this very moment?
I don't know how long it took, but when my mother stood up that night and said that she was going back, Li Jicai looked at her fixedly and smiled at her.
The temptation of the two women, whether it is true or false, is not known, what kind of judgment will be made under the trade-off, no one knows, the late mother delivered a part, and Li Jicai also delivered a part.
The rest will only be left to time to tell.
After leaving this door, Wan Niang will have two choices, the first is to betray her directly, and then a large group of bandits will rush in and kill Li Jicai.
In the second case, she really did what Li Jicai said, how would Zhao Wuxian react? Li Jicai didn't know, but if Zhao Wuheng knew that Xiao Qiang was going to leave him and flee to the mountain with everyone, then tonight would definitely not be a calm night.
The show is about to begin.
I hope Jiang Xihu can really wait for ten days as they agreed.
Tonight, Li Jicai will climb out even if she climbs.
Doctor Shi didn't come tonight, and it is estimated that the late mother had already told Doctor Shi that she had already changed the medicine and fed Li Jicai.
Because of avoiding the suspicion of men and women, since Li Jicai has improved a lot and can speak, Dr. Shi has not been in and out much in the past two days.
This is a good thing for Li Jicai.
After experiencing this bandit village on Cuiluo Mountain, Li Jicai felt like walking on thin ice at every step.
People are extremely difficult to control, and the situation is constantly changing.
She was like a small fish in a backwater pool, sneaking in, swimming very slowly, hiding in the dirt at the bottom of the backwater.
Quietly.
Just wait for the tail of the fish to flip, don't let this backwater pool make an uproar and stir up turbidity.
