Chapter 025: Ah Ruo Under the Sharp Knife (Second Watch)
"No, no!" Sun Shi hurriedly replied, "We put incense in the main hall, rested in the guest room for a while, and went back the same day-" Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and looked at Xu Jiaoning hesitantly.
General Zhao also followed.
Xu Jiaoning had no choice but to take a step forward and said: "Because the woman is pregnant and unwell, she stayed in Yunlin Temple for a few more days, but she has never been out of the temple, let alone the back mountain, and she has never seen any injured men!" ”
General Zhao looked at Xu Jiaoning thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Lin Shisheng walked in front of Xu Jiaoning, blocked most of her body, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "General, my lady is just a weak woman who is pregnant!" ”
General Zhao smiled.
Indeed, during that time, Lin Shisheng was not in Yuhang, and only the old and weak women and children were left in the Lin family.
"Is it true that no one has ever been to the mountain behind Yunlin Temple? What about the next person? General Zhao asked again, this time more casually, with a hint of a smile, thinking that it was the last casual question before leaving.
Xu Yaoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "No!" ”
"Yes!" Another sound sounded at the same time.
Dozens of masters and servants from the Lin family changed their faces in unison.
"Ah Ruo went to the back mountain!" Lin Jiaruo looked up blankly, only to see that Lin Jiazhi's hand was pointing at her unmistakably, with undisguised malice flashing in her eyes.
"Lin Jiazhi!" Xu Yaoning swallowed her heart alive at the moment.
Seeing General Zhao walking towards Lin Jiaruo, Lin Shisheng blocked her with an arrow step, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao, the little girl is only five years old!" ”
General Zhao smiled: "The third prince is too careful, I'm just asking!" ”
Lin Shisheng was unmoved.
General Zhao's eyes changed, and he slowly drew his saber, the cold light came out of the sheath, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Everyone suddenly remembered that this General Zhao had also fought on the northwest border with the Marquis of Shenwu for many years, and had just returned from Shaoxing to quell the chaos, and perhaps a few days ago, he had killed people with this knife.
"Shi Sheng!" Old Madam Lin shouted tremblingly.
Lin Shisheng was still in front of Lin Jiaruo, not moving, and his personal guard Long Yujiao also shook his figure, and when he came to his side, he pressed one hand on the scabbard.
General Zhao glanced at Long Yujiao with fear, raised his hand and waved, and a team of black-armored sergeants quickly ran in and surrounded everyone in the Lin family.
"Shi Sheng!" Old Madam Lin shouted again, pleading in fear.
Lin Shisheng clenched his fists and slowly turned sideways, exposing the pale and frightened little girl to the sharp knife.
Lin Jiaruo looked at Xu Jiaoning for help, Xu Yaoning stood only three steps away from her, as if she wanted to rush over, but she was hugged tightly by Gan and couldn't break free, and big tears fell down.
Lin Jiaruo looked at Lin Shisheng again, although he got out of the way, he squatted down beside Lin Jiaruo, wrapped his hands around her small body, and gently comforted: "Don't be afraid, whatever the general asks, you can answer, it's okay, there is a daddy!" ”
Lin Jiaruo nodded, raised her head, General Zhao was looking at her condescendingly, when that pair of eyes fell on Lin Jiaruo, it was more terrifying than she imagined, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled, but she didn't dare to take her eyes off.
"Have you been to the mountain behind Yunlin Temple?" She heard a voice drifting in the distance, threatening of nothing.
The mountain behind Yunlin Temple? She hasn't been!
Lin Jiaruo trembled and replied: "I haven't been to ......"
General Zhao narrowed his eyes and took a step closer to Lin Jiaruo: "You really haven't been there?" ”
The blade in his hand deviated slightly as he moved, and it happened to reflect the sunlight onto Lin Jiaruo's face.
Lin Jiaruo intuitively felt a piercing cold light rushing to his eyes, and couldn't help but raise his hand to block it, and suddenly felt something fly out of his hand.
It's a bird!
Lin Jiaruo hurriedly raised her head, and saw the sword light like snow, slashing in front of her eyes, and a stream of blood rushed to her face, like a whip, hitting her face heavily.
She saw that the soft and lovely yellow bird chick had been split into two pieces and was flying out in both directions, and then with a "snap", it landed at the same time.
The screams of women rang out all around, and then they were hoarse after the flash of the knife.
Everything around her gradually faded away, Lin Jiaruo only saw that the person with the bleeding long knife was still walking towards her, Lin Jiaruo retreated in horror, but she didn't know who was imprisoned, she could only shake her head helplessly and wave her hands, desperately denying it.
"Ah Ruo hasn't been to the back mountain!"
"Ah Ruo got lost, he didn't go on purpose!"
"Ah Ruo knows that he is wrong! Ah Ruo didn't dare to run around anymore! ”
The little girl's big eyes were out of focus, and no matter how Lin Shisheng called, he would only shake his head and wave his hands in a panic, and his mouth kept admitting his mistake and begging for mercy.
Xu Jiaoning saw that her liver and intestines were broken, and she suddenly gave birth to a strong force, broke free from Gan's family, rushed to Lin Jiaruo's side, snatched her from Lin Shisheng's arms, hugged her tightly, raised her head, and glared at General Zhao fiercely.
"General Zhao, she is just a child, she just accidentally got lost that day, and she doesn't even know where she is, what can she know if you ask her like this? She is a five-year-old child, no matter whether she meets the rebels or you General Zhao, she only has the share of mermaid meat! ”
General Zhao frowned, although the woman in front of him was pale and weak, she had a ruthless momentum, forcing him to retreat.
"General Zhao, can you ask clearly?" Lin Shisheng had already stood up and looked at him with deep eyes.
General Zhao hesitated for a moment in his heart and laughed: "It was Zhao who offended, but the matter is serious, so I have to be cautious, and I ask the third prince Lin and the old lady to forgive me. ”
Lin Shisheng's eldest brother-in-law served as a scholar in Beijing.
But at this time, Lin Shisheng was no longer in the mood to talk to him, so General Zhao said two words to himself and took people away.
Lin Jiaruo was unaware of the changes around him, and was still waving his hand and screaming, and finally fell asleep after being clicked by Long Yujiao.
That night, Lin Jiaruo developed a high fever.
Xu Yaoning sat on the edge of the bed, crying while pressing Lin Jiaruo's hands that waved wildly from time to time.
Lin Shisheng paced anxiously for two steps on the side, and then walked quickly to her side, trying his best to soften his voice: "Don't worry, Yujiao's light skills and martial arts are good, and she will be able to catch a doctor back soon!" ”
He himself was also full of anxiety, and when he said this, he seemed to be comforting Xu Yaoning, and he seemed to be comforting himself.
"Don't catch Arro! Ah Ruo didn't dare! The little man on the bed suddenly screamed, and the horror in his voice made Xu Haoning couldn't help but whimper.
She threw herself on the bed uncontrollably, hugged Lin Jiaruo tightly, and cried: "Ah Ruo! A-ro! It's not good to be a mother! It's my mother who didn't protect you! Ah Ruo, you blame me, blame me! I'm sorry for you! ”
In a trance, she seemed to be holding Lin Jiaruo's lifeless body in her previous life, and no matter how hysterical she called, she couldn't respond.
