Chapter 8: Picking up a beautiful boy

As soon as he hid, five or six masked men ran to Yao Qingmu's donkey cart with weapons in hand.

The big man led by Yao Qingmu looked Yao Qingmu up and down, stepped forward, pointed the tip of the knife at her nose, and asked viciously, "Boy, did you see someone running over just now?" ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't see it. Yao Qingmu's voice trembled, pretending to be very scared, staring at the tip of the knife, and shrinking his head back.

The big man circled around the unobstructed donkey cart, and finally fixed his gaze on the big night incense barrel, "What's in this?" ”

"Uncle, of course it's Yexiang."

"Open it and take a look!"

"The lid is so heavy that I can't open it." Yao Qingmu lowered his head and replied timidly.

"You kid is not honest, you can't open it, how can others pour night incense?"

"I'm here with my father, he ...... He's gone to collect the night incense, why don't you wait for him to come back? She tilted her head and her eyes widened, putting on a silly look.

Dahan looked at Yao Qingmu's thin appearance and seemed to believe her words.

I wanted to open it and take a look at it, but I took a step forward, and as soon as I approached the barrel, a foul smell came to my face, and my outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He turned his head in disgust, took two steps back, and looked at Yao Qingmu's thin bear appearance again, expecting that she would not dare to deceive herself, so he beckoned the others to continue chasing forward.

The footsteps became farther and farther away, until he couldn't hear it anymore, Yao Qingmu took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and felt a wet patch on his back.

Jumped on the donkey cart and whispered into the bucket, "Hey, come out, they're all gone." ”

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the barrel, Yao Qingmu stepped forward to open the lid of the heavy wooden barrel, took a broken lantern on the donkey cart and shone it inside, just now the "good man" had already sat in the bucket and fainted, I don't know if he was stunned or fainted by the smell in the barrel.

Yao Qingmu grinned silently, you kid is really lucky, fortunately, no one has poured the night incense yet, otherwise you would be sitting in the dung water now.

***

"Qingmu!" There was a crisp call from outside the house, and a girl in yellow about twelve or thirteen years old walked into Yao Qingmu's house, "Where is the treasure you picked up, show me." ”

"What baby, it's a big trouble." Yao Qingmu stroked his forehead with a helpless expression, and his sympathy was overflowing for a while, so he came back with a tricky trouble.

"By the way, Xing'er, remember to thank your father for helping me collect the night incense in the middle of the night last night."

Xing'er's father also poured night incense, after the death of her adoptive mother, thanks to their family taking care of Xiao Qingmu in the past few years, so they are the only ones who know that she is a girl in Shucheng.

"Ah, this brother is really handsome, more handsome than Qingmu." Xing'er looked at the teenager lying on the bed and said a little nympholy.

Yao Qingmu also leaned his head over and glanced at the black face covered in blood.

Last night, I brought home the "good man" who was hiding in the night incense barrel, only to find that he was only a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, covered with wounds, fortunately there were some flesh wounds, but there were a few deeper wounds that kept bleeding.

In the middle of the night, she couldn't go to the doctor, mainly because she didn't have the money to hire a doctor, so she used some local methods to stop the bleeding, and before Xing'er entered the house, she cleaned up the mess, and she didn't have time to help the young man wash his face.

So, he picked up a piece of wet cloth that he had just used to wipe the blood stains, and rubbed it on the young man's face a few times, and the young man's face was completely exposed under the blood stains.

Although his complexion is a little unnatural because of excessive blood loss, he is indeed a very handsome teenager.
