140 Goodbye is like a world away
Her vigilance is good, especially after being put on a few occasions by Liang Qiulan, the Xiao family, and Zhu Qianxue before, she always knows to keep a few more eyes, so as not to make it easy for people to stumble and do something.
This time when she went to the back mountain, she didn't notice it too much when she was on the road, but she always felt that something didn't seem right, but when she got to the cave, her steps slowed down more and more, and finally stopped.
That's right, there's just something wrong.
There have been few people in the back mountain, so it is extremely quiet, but today, it is too quiet. It's because there are few people, so birds and beasts can occasionally see a little, just like Brother Zhou will deliberately go deep when he hunts. But now, it's so quiet that you can't hear the movement of the beasts. Now that the temperature has warmed up, there is no reason why it would be quiet like this.
Xiao Ling'er walked to the side and glanced at the branches next to her, those branches that were pulled out, there were some traces of being touched from time to time, and some of the dew had been shaken off, obviously there were traces of someone coming.
Moreover, there should not be a small number of people, otherwise it would not be so easy to leave these traces.
She hesitated for a moment, and decided not to go any further.
Although this is not at all sure, whether these people who came to the back mountain are coming for her? But in any case, safety is the most important thing, and she doesn't need to go on an adventure alone at this time, so she goes back and finds someone to accompany her first.
Thinking so, Xiao Ling'er tightened her satchel and walked back towards the road she had come from with a brisk expression.
However, this vigilance came a little too late. By the time she got to this place, it was too late for her to leave.
She had just taken a few steps back, and the grass and trees on the side moved suddenly, and I don't know when the six people who were hiding on the side instantly emerged from the grass and surrounded her.
She knew that the birds in the forest in the back mountain had not moved, and there were traces on the grass and trees, and the people who had come must not have been separated for a long time, but she still didn't expect that they were actually hiding on the side. I'm afraid I squatted in the forest for a long time, waiting for her to follow her all the way.
The six of them were all five big and three thick, wearing ordinary cloth clothes, their faces were covered with some black cloth to hide their appearance, and they held sticks like thick arms in their hands, looking at her with fierce eyes.
"You, who are you?" Xiao Ling'er panicked in her heart, but on the surface, she still pretended to be calm, and only took a few steps back slightly, looking at the surrounding terrain with her side eyes.
These people don't seem to be good at all, and they don't know whether they are trying for wealth or life, and what method they should use to leave.
When a word came out, they didn't reply, they only glanced behind Xiao Ling'er in the lead, and then nodded to a few subordinates on the side, and the six people with sticks in their hands approached her step by step.
"Big brothers, what do you want to do?" Xiao Ling'er quietly reached out and held her dagger on her head, although she knew that she alone might not be able to deal with the six people in front of her, but the dagger was already the only thing on her body that could defend herself, "If you want to make money, a few big brothers may wish to tell me the number, I have passed the news, and someone will definitely send it to you." If it is a life, my cheap life is not worth a few dollars, and if a few big brothers don't get into a lawsuit for my life, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
She thought that although she had made some enemies, she would not use such cruel means to take her life, probably just luck ran into the robbery, and she was more or less involved in this way for money, and she could always make sense with him, after all, if you kill her, you won't get anything.
But unexpectedly, they didn't even pay attention to what she said, and they didn't even give a response, and as soon as the stick in their hands was raised, they simply rushed towards her.
Xiao Ling'er realized that this group of people didn't even count as robbers, and they came to her all the way.
Naturally, she wouldn't waste her time, and she talked to them about something else, holding a bag of medicinal powder in her hand, and sprinkled it towards them, and when they were confused, she quickly ran to the side.
But the powder was not chili powder, and at most it could blind her eyes, but it only took a moment of delay, and they immediately chased after her with sticks.
Damn, this time it really capsized.
Although she is familiar with the road in the back mountain, it is not easy to walk in the forest, the road is uneven, and there are mischievous branches everywhere.
He had just run a distance when he saw them chasing more and more closely.
Xiao Ling'er looked back, and kept running under her feet, regardless of being scratched by the branches.
Not far away! As long as they can get out of this forest and go to an open place, there are people who come and go, and they don't think they will do that.
But sometimes, the sky is so unsatisfactory.
Xiao Ling'er was very panicked, she couldn't take care of the front when she could take care of the back, she was tripped by a tree root under her feet, and she fell towards the front with an "ah" sound, fell heavily to the ground, and even twisted her feet, and just struggled to stand up, and her heart hurt as soon as she stood up.
And the people behind him suddenly got closer.
"His uncle's! This is really good enough to run, see if I catch her and kill her! ”
The person who ran at the front scolded, and when he saw Xiao Ling'er fall to the ground, he didn't let go of this opportunity at all, and the stick in his hand was thrown at her fiercely.
"Ahh Xiao Ling'er immediately covered her head with her hands.
I only heard a muffled snort of "bang", the sound of a stick hitting a person, which resounded clearly in her ears, but there was no pain in her body.
Xiao Ling'er was in a trance for a moment, and let go of her hand with some confusion, but her confused eyes opened suddenly.
She couldn't believe the facts in front of her, it turned out to be Mei Chengan!
When did he come?!
Xiao Ling'er was taken aback, she didn't know when Mei Chengan actually came here, and she was still ......
also blocked a stick for her!
The stick was thrown over just now, and Mei Chengan was in front of her, his hand propped up beside her, only frowning slightly, not moving at all, and letting the stick smash his back alive.
"Mei, Mei Cheng'an."
Xiao Ling'er's throat was dumb, she hadn't seen him for so long, and now she was suddenly separated from the world, Xiao Ling'er didn't know where to say anything in her heart for a while.
The sentence I wanted to ask the most was asked by Mei Chengan first, "You, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Xiao Ling'er hurriedly shook her head, looked behind her, opened her eyes, and shouted again, "Be careful!" ”
After a while, the six men behind had already chased after him, although he didn't expect another man to suddenly appear, but he didn't care about anything else, a stick was raised, and it was smashed towards Mei Cheng'an.
As soon as Xiao Ling'er's words came out, she grabbed Mei Chengan's arm and wanted him to get out of the way, but he didn't move at all when he stood in front of him, and he was hit with a stick again.
This time, the stick hit him on the head, and he frowned, and finally fainted on top of her.
"Mei Cheng'an!"
"Big young master!"
Wen Yan's voice also resounded to the side, and he just rushed over.
"Wen Yan, hurry, Mei Chengan is injured!"
Xiao Ling'er hurriedly helped him and shouted.
Wen Yan was in a hurry, and raised his hand, "Quick, catch them for me!" ”
The subordinates he brought listened to it, rushed forward in a hurry, and stopped those people in front of Mei Cheng'an and Xiao Ling'er.
Wen Yan ran over, and together with Xiao Ling'er, he helped Mei Chengan to leave briskly outside the forest.
"Mei Cheng'an! Cheng'an, you must not have anything, don't! ”
On the carriage back to the county seat, Xiao Ling'er held Mei Chengan's hand, and her heart hurt as if it was torn.
Mei Chengan has not woken up since he fell into a coma, his pulse is very light, his body is already weak, these two sticks go down, she is really afraid, and the last bit of weak breath will dissipate.
For such a long time, she thought about him so much, and she didn't think about when she would see him all the time, but she never thought that when she met again, it would be such a situation. If so, she might as well stop running and let the sticks fall on her.
The pain in the body is always worse than the pain in the heart.
"Mrs. Auntie, don't be too anxious, the county seat will be here soon. Young master, young master will definitely be fine. ”
Wen Yan was also very worried in his heart, but looking at Xiao Ling'er's tearful face, he still tried his best to comfort her.
Xiao Ling'er raised her hand to wipe her tears, holding Mei Chengan's hand and still refusing to let go, she just said, "Wen Yan, what's going on here?" ”
"It was made by the second young master."
Wen Yan took a sip, and his words immediately became angry, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to bite Mei Yongxin to pieces.
"Since his aunt passed the news of the second young master to Baicaotang, the young master has been letting people keep an eye on him, and in the past few days, I have found that there are always people sneakily staring at the medicinal canteen, and the young master sent people to drive them away twice, and it has stopped a lot. Today, a reporter said that when you left the city, someone followed, and the young master was worried, so he immediately brought someone here. I didn't expect that these bitches would be so ruthless! ”
"Mei Yongxin? How could he? ”
Wen Yan's words were too informative, and Xiao Ling'er couldn't react for a while.
Mei Yongxin still has business dealings with her, and she hasn't done anything else, how could she let him suddenly want to be poisoned.
and Mei Cheng'an, she didn't expect that she hadn't met all the time, but he still silently helped him behind his back, and the people Wen Yan said in his mouth, she hadn't seen them outside the medicine canteen once, and they all let him stop the disaster!
