Chapter 56: Horror in the Bamboo Forest
Lin Rong was silent, as if he hadn't found any footprints, and when he turned around, he saw a low shrub behind him, and from the gaps in the leaves that leaked out between the trees, he could vaguely see the color of some coarse cloth clothes.
I can't figure out what this person is thinking, and I want to avoid the snake. The only way to get out of this forest is to pass through the low bushes behind.
Lin Rong carried the bamboo basket and gradually retreated towards the dwarf bushes. First, she wanted to get closer to the place, to draw out the man's motives, to see what the man's ultimate purpose was, and second, to have one more person to face the snake.
Lin Rong's footsteps slowly retreated, but fortunately, the snake didn't seem to notice her much, and lazily stayed on the bamboo, as if it hadn't woken up from hibernation, just sticking out its tongue.
When it was farther and farther away, Lin Rong let out a long sigh of relief.
There were still two steps away, Lin Rong stopped, pretending to pick some wild vegetables, but his hand still did not leave the bamboo basket.
At this moment, the man seemed to think that it was a good time, and suddenly a silver light flashed in the air.
Lin Rong was staring at it all the time, and he had already made preparations. It's just that she didn't expect the person to move very fast, and it turned out to be a very bright scythe that struck her head.
Lin Rong's first reaction was to stretch out the hand in the basket and shoot the crossbow arrow directly.
And the sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air, due to poor technique, still missed, and shot at the stump behind it, firmly grounded.
And the scythe, which was in danger of her life, also deviated from the direction because of the fright of this arrow, and did not kill her, but only cut a wound on her shoulder, and blood suddenly came out.
And the person behind the forest, seeing such a situation, sneered, and stood up from behind, it turned out to be the eldest lady of the Tu family.
Lin Rong instantly wanted to understand the key to this.
Tulu has been arrested and put in the prison cell of the yamen for his evil deeds, and he is to blame for all this.
However, because it was Lin Rong who made his crime public, the eldest lady thought that it was Lin Rong who harmed him and their family, and completely remembered all the grudges on Lin Rong.
The Tu family was scattered, and the wives and concubines in several rooms, as long as they had no children, all left the Tu family and went back to their parents' house, leaving only the eldest lady of the Tu family and a woman with a child, named Yin Pei.
Those wives and concubines were all taken by force during Tulu's reign, either by various means to be taken captive, or they were obtained by spending money, so they were naturally reluctant to stay here.
As soon as this Tulu leaves, even if he comes back, he will not have the arrogant capital he had before, so he is naturally not afraid.
Taking advantage of this time, they go back to their parents' homes to their parents' homes, and take refuge in their relatives, even if they have to be looked down upon and neglected, it is better than staying in this place to suffer and be poor and have no food, and to repay their debts.
During these days, the eldest lady of the Tu family has been keeping to herself, Lin Rong thought that she had really changed her temperament, not as rude and barbaric as last time, but she didn't expect that she would have such a vicious mind and actually wanted to kill her.
I wanted her to run into this bamboo forest alone, and there was no one next to her, even if she called for help, it was useless, and she couldn't help but be frightened.
Just now, with a wave of his hand, the opponent's scythe was also thrown out a distance of about three steps, and it was lying right in the middle of the two.
Lin Rong was frightened, and finally felt a little relieved.
I wiped it around my waist again, but I found that I forgot to bring out my quiver. Originally, I came to this forest, just to think that I could shoot a hare when I met it, so I brought a crossbow and an arrow, and now the only arrow has been pierced by her in the tree.
And the big lady gradually approached her, touching her arms as she walked, and took out a dagger.
