Chapter 12 Helping Others

As soon as he entered the guest room, Wen Youran was surprised to find a little fresh blood on the ground, and immediately became nervous, and suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, and a thin man came over from the closet, his clothes were dirty and full of blood, his cheeks were deeply sunken, a pair of clear and slender peach blossom eyes, almost begging eyes, looked at Wen Youran, panted and asked for help: "Help me!" ”

Wen You was startled, calmed down, and immediately understood that the commotion downstairs must be related to this person, Wen You then took a step back, looked at him cautiously and asked, "What bad things have you done?" ”

The man covered his bleeding wound, smiled helplessly, and replied: "It's a pity that when you say that, you suddenly find out that I haven't even done anything bad!" ”

Wen Youran immediately knew that he was not a bad person when he heard this, and brought the water to him and said, "You quickly wash your face." As she spoke, she quickly flipped through Shiso's women's clothes and placed them in front of him. The man immediately understood what Wen Youran meant, trembled his weak body, and began to tidy himself up. Wen Youran quickly found the towel and cleaned up the blood stains on the ground and the door, the footsteps downstairs were getting closer and closer, Wen Youran tried to calm himself down, and helped him tie a women's bun at random, and before he could tidy it up, the door had been kicked open heavily, and four men dressed as officials broke into the guest room.

"Search!" The leading officer gave an order, and the four of them rudely began to search.

Wen Youran immediately pressed the man's head to his chest, quickly hugged him into his arms, and said softly while clapping his palm: "Don't be afraid, lady." ”

After the four of them quickly searched the house carefully to no avail, the leading official looked at Wen and asked leisurely, "Have you seen an injured young man?" ”

Wen Youran smiled coldly and asked, "A few people broke in in the middle of the night, following the search instructions of He Fu?" Take it out and give it to this patrol! ”

When the leading official heard that it was actually a patrol, he immediately became calm, he carefully scanned the room again, and said with little confidence: "We are waiting for the prefect's order, and the search warrant is naturally there, since there is no one we are looking for here, my lord, we will retire." After he finished speaking, he quickly left with the people.

"Who are you, and why did the government arrest you?" After they left, Wen Youran immediately stepped forward and bolted the door carefully, and then looked at the man's injuries.

The man arched his aching body, looked at Wen Youran, and said extremely weakly: "My name is Huo Lian, in addition to these officials, there are bandits who want to arrest me outside, if you can save me, my mother will reward you with a lot of gold and silver." ”

Wen leisurely looked at Huo Lian carefully, and continued to ask: "You haven't said why that official sent you to arrest you!" ”

Huo Lian endured extreme discomfort, and said slowly in a trembling tone: "I was kidnapped by bandits five months ago, they extorted my ancestor for 10,000 taels of gold, my ancestor refused to pay the ransom, the kidnappers lost patience, I had already escaped, but I didn't expect that now even the government is eyeing my meat ticket." ”

"Ten thousand taels?" Wen Youran was really taken aback, and thought about it carefully, "Then your ancestor can only be Huo Jinzong, the richest man in Shengjing." ”

Huo Lian smiled reluctantly, suddenly thought of something, and eagerly added: "Ten thousand taels of gold is impossible, as long as you can save me, I will be thankful!" ”

Wen Youran looked at Huo Lian carefully, and said tentatively: "Everyone in the world says that Huo Jinzong is selfish and ruthless, and the only place he can spend a lot of money on is antique calligraphy and painting, it seems that the rumors are true." ”

Huo Lian's face sank, his fists were clenched, his eyes flickered, but his attitude was resolute: "My ancestor has more than thirty descendants, if he is willing to pay this ten thousand taels, I am afraid that there will be more people in my family who will be tied up in the future!" ”

"This pair of 10,000 taels of Huo Jinzong is not enough to break your muscles and bones, it is really not easy for you to think about him like this." Wen Youran knew that Huo Lian was a kind person when he heard this.

Wen Youran's words made Huo Lian start to be uncalm, he trembled slightly, his eyes were not confident, he tried his best to hide his emotions, and after a long time, he said softly: "You better think about how to save me first!" ”

Wen looked at Huo Lian leisurely and said seriously: "If you want to get out, you can only pretend to be my wife." ”

Huo Lian squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Youran carefully, and suddenly remembered that he had just smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and said in surprise: "You are a woman?" ”

"This official is a seven-rank patrol, don't worry, this local junior official doesn't dare to touch me!"

There was a gentle knock on the door outside the door, Wen Youran knew that it was Zi Su who came back, Zi Su came in, and when she saw Huo Lian, she was very hostile and vigilant, she pouted and said seriously: "Sister Youran, we can't help him!" ”

Huo Lian's emotions immediately became tense, his arms clenched to his chest, silent, and his eyes were fixed on the two.

Wen leisurely looked at Zisu and said softly: "He is not a bad person, saving people is also accumulating virtue for himself, and the good things we can do still have to be done." ”

Zi Su said with a little emotion: "We can't take him with us, there are a lot of people outside, and Zi Su can't beat them!" ”

"Do you know martial arts?" Wen Youran was really taken aback by Zisu's words, she looked at Zisu carefully, and asked suspiciously, "What else are you hiding from me?" ”

Zi Su realized that he was speechless, and he didn't look at Wen Youran and refused to make a sound. Wen leisurely recalled the process of encountering Shisu, and finally understood, and smiled helplessly: "You are Long Yizheng's junior sister?" ”

Zi Su hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Wen Youran already knew his identity, he didn't hide it, so he simply pointed at Huo Lian and said, "Senior brother asked me to protect your safety, but my ability is limited, and he will cause trouble for us." ”

Wen Youran didn't know what kind of mood she was in at the moment, she didn't expect Long Yizheng to use such a way to arrange Zi Su by her side, although Long Yiran was a good intention, but Wen Youran was always uncomfortable in her heart, for a moment, after she calmed down a little, she made up her mind and said: "Huo Lian finally escaped death, I will do my best to help him, if you are afraid, you can leave." ”

Seeing Wen Youran's resolute attitude, Zi Su could only compromise: "I won't leave now unless you are safe." After she finished speaking, she took out the medicine she had brought with her and stepped forward to help Huo Lian treat his wounds.

Huo Lian's worries were finally relieved, and he said weakly, "I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?" ”

"Good! You endure a little longer. After Wen leisurely finished speaking, he cautiously opened the door and made sure that there was no threat outside before going out.

Huo Lian looked at the porridge that was as clear as water, took it and drank it violently, Wen Youran hurriedly held the bowl and persuaded: "You are extremely hungry, don't go in so eagerly." ”

Huo Lian pushed Wen Youran's hand away, regardless of the heat, he drank greedily, and after a while, his hand was weak, and the bowl fell to the ground with a "pop", and the person fainted instantly. Wen Youran hurriedly supported Huo Lian, and looking at his appearance, he also knew that he must have experienced life and death torture, which was too pitiful. Zi Su hurriedly stepped forward and pinched Huo Lian's middle man hard, and Huo Lian woke up in a daze.
