He Mai smiled at her indifferently, lowered his eyes, and looked at the quilt in the woman's hand, which seemed to be bulging up or something, which was very strange.

She was silent, and watched the woman slowly approach.

The woman was very nervous, and walked to Hemai's side with the quilt in her arms.

She first put the quilt on the edge of the bed, next to the child next to the bed, and smiled unnaturally at Hemai.

"This quilt is a little thin, I'll get you another quilt." The woman was sneering.

He Mai looked at her quietly, and after a while, said, "Don't bother, we will only stay here for one night, and when it is dawn, we will leave." ”

The woman smiled very strangely, and said a little uncomfortably: "Tonight is windy and the weather is very cold, it is useless for you to just heat the kang, you have to spread some quilts and make some quilts to cover, don't you still have two people?" Why does this adult need two or three quilts, and I put the quilt at the back of the miscellaneous room, can you go with me to get it? ”

She didn't care whether He Mai agreed, so she pulled He Mai's sleeve and walked to the backyard.

He Mai didn't care about anything else, the woman pulled her sleeve, looked at the child on the kang a few more times, frowned, and let her drag herself to the backyard.

The woman's backyard was a mess, full of miscellaneous items.

There was a well in the backyard, and it was piled with animal skins and sawdust sticks and the like.

Next to the miscellaneous room, the door of a small black firewood room was ajar, and only a faint kerosene lamp was lit inside.

The woman took Wheat's sleeve and went outside the room, and suddenly she turned around and flashed behind Wheat, and pushed her into the room.

He Mai's reaction was very fast, and his eyes were sharp, and he grabbed the woman's hand, dragged her over, looked at the woman viciously, and scolded her: "What are you doing? ”

The woman didn't expect He Mai's reaction to be so violent, she was startled, shivered, and said with a smile: "I just want to remind you that there is a threshold on the ground, little lady, be careful, but don't fall." ”

He Mai looked at him coldly, looked at the miscellaneous room in front of him, stretched out his hand violently, and slapped it the door of the miscellaneous room.

If this woman is cheating, there will probably be someone behind the door.

The door of the miscellaneous room was split open by the palm of the wheat, and the dim and chaotic scene was revealed.

There was nothing special about it, as the woman said, there were two or three dusty quilts on top of the cabinet about two feet, which was indeed very high, and even if the woman stepped on the stool, I am afraid that she would not be able to take it off.

There was really nothing suspicious in it, and He Mai's brows stretched slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, could he really blame this woman by mistake?

She looked back at the woman and smiled flatly, "It's me who reacted violently, I'm sorry." ”

He Mai was much taller than the woman, and she easily took off the two quilts while standing on the stool.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at He Mai: "You little lady is tall, unlike me, I have just given birth, and my legs and feet are really unreliable, and I can't climb high." ”

He Mai nodded at her slightly, and said, "Street, I will pay you copper money for these two quilts." Thank you very much. ”

The woman waved her hand, "He who doesn't want money, he who doesn't want money!" My child drank your milk, where can we pay for it? Come, go—"

She enthusiastically helped He Mai pick up one of the quilts, and said: "Although there is some dust on it, you don't have to care, I have a clean broom at home for you to take, and the dust on your kang and this quilt can be simply swept away." ”

As she spoke, the woman went out of the door of the miscellaneous room, ran to the corner in front of the firewood room, picked up a broom on the ground, and smiled at He Mai: "Little lady, come and pick one, which of these brooms do you see clean?" ”

When He Mai walked in front of the woman to carefully pick out a broom, she suddenly felt a cold wind coming from the door of the firewood room behind her, and she looked back vigilantly, but at this moment an oncoming wooden stick was about to knock on her neck.

The woman held her breath, her eyes widening unconsciously, nervously looking forward to the moment when the wheat fell.

Even faster than the wooden stick that landed on Hew's neck was a cold arrow flying from the courtyard wall—

Two arrows—the first one shot off the stick that was about to fall on the wheat's neck, and the second one shot at the hand of the assailant in the back.

After a scream, He Mai had already turned around, kicked away the stunned woman in front of him, and looked at the screaming person behind him.

The man who fell to the ground and wailed incessantly in the dark night looked ordinary and ordinary, and his forehead was soaked with painful cold sweat.

The man was none other than the owner of the courtyard where they had just been received.

The cold arrow in his hand pierced his arm bone and stabbed him to the ground, and the man could no longer move, but kept wailing and moaning in pain.

He Mai looked at the man's gaze coldly, but at the same time, he was also a little afraid in his heart.

What happened just now was indeed dangerous, even if she was full of defense against the woman, she still almost hit it. But if she hadn't had two arrows, she would have been plotted by a villain.

On the courtyard wall, Rokuro, who had brought a bow and arrow from the house, had already flipped it down, threw it at the man's feet, and looked at him coldly.

Mu He in his arms did not react at all because of the changes in the outside world, and was sleeping sweetly in the warm atmosphere.

Rokuro came over, took He Mai in his arms, and then fell to the ground trembling woman and wailing man coldly reprimanded: "The three indiscriminate people who are not in the climate are really bad for a weak woman!" ”

He Mai was still a little afraid, touched his neck, and said with palpitations: "If it weren't for you just now, I'm afraid I would have been knocked on a stick by this person more or less, these two are really a scourge, and they are so ruthless." ”

Rokuro shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I'm following you." I see that you have just let your guard down, and you are really sweating. What if the sword came at you? Didn't it hurt you? I've long seen that woman isn't a good thing, what serious woman would break into someone else's house in the middle of the night to borrow milk? What's more, we're still a bunch of outsiders. ”

He Mai nodded and said, "I know that you follow me, so naturally you won't be afraid." What's more, I just wanted to see what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but I didn't expect to almost fall for their tricks! ”

She walked slowly over to the woman and asked sharply, "Who are you?" Why are you plotting against me? ”

The woman trembled like chaff, and with a trembling voice, she pointed at the man and said, "It's none of my business!" It's none of my business! He asked me to do it, you go and ask him! He's the one who is behind the whole thing!! ”
