Chapter 383: Separated by a High Wall

Hai Hongzhu didn't think that the evil young master Hua Bushi would have any attraction to the city lord. After all, Hua Bushi has an ordinary appearance, not to mention his character, and he has no heroic spirit, even if he is not useless, his advantages are lackluster.

Just now, however, this idea has been shaken.

Just now, the owner of a ship shop took his wife to visit the Bark Tower, they were regular customers, and although they refused to spend money seriously, they also came to visit them several times. Hai Hongzhu let them into the side hall, and the boss went to the backyard to watch the dog, and his wife had nothing to do, so she stayed in the hall to drink tea, and Hai Hongzhu accompanied her.

There is a kind of person who can never hide words in his stomach, and he will pour them out at the first opportunity, whether those words should be said or not, people call them "long-tongued women". And the boss's wife is extremely unfortunate that she happens to be this kind of person.

After a cup of tea, when the proprietor of the trading house came back from the backyard after watching the dog training, under the quick talk of his wife, Hai Hongzhu had already known all the gossip about the city lord's eldest lady and Hua Bushi in the streets and alleys of Okura City.

Hearing these rumors, Hai Hongzhu's first reaction was to be furious, and she couldn't wait to find out the person who spread the rumors immediately and scold her. However, of course, this could not be done, for according to Mrs. Longtongue, the whole city was now talking about it, and Hai Hongzhu could not go to everyone's trouble, and it was impossible to find out who had spread it in the first place.

The boss of the trading house also had some eyes, and when he saw that Mrs. Hua had an unkind face and a fierce look in her eyes, he immediately took his wife to say goodbye and left, secretly complaining in his heart that his long-tongued wife was talking indiscriminately.

When the guest left, Hai Hongzhu sat on the chair, and after being sullen for a long time, her mood gradually changed from anger to worry. As the saying goes, Lang can't afford no wind, although this matter doesn't sound very credible at first glance, but it is so rampant outside, it may not really be groundless.

Hua Bushi is a big carrot, Hai Hongzhu has known it for a long time, although according to common sense, Miss Lan'er will not look down on him, but the eldest young master is scheming, eloquent, and even pleasing people, and a little girl like Sima Rulan can't guarantee that she won't be deceived by him under the rhetoric.

In fact, Hai Hongzhu's age was not older than Sima Rulan, but she believed that the city lord lady must be more naïve than herself, so she would be deceived by a young master like Hua Bushi. And as soon as this thought came to mind, it hovered back and forth in Hai Hongzhu's mind, and he felt more and more that it was possible.

Thinking that the eldest young master was in the backyard at this time, training the dog with Miss Lan'er, Hai Hongzhu's heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, which was not a taste at all.

So, she dealt with the next few groups of guests who entered the barking sky, and someone wanted to go to the backyard to see the dog, she also put on a straight face, and said that from today onwards, the building will no longer allow idle people to enter the courtyard, and all these annoying guys who only look at it and don't buy it are sent out.

It wasn't until dusk that Sima Rulan came out of the backyard, passed by the front hall when she went out, and came over to say hello to Hai Hongzhu.

Hai Hongzhu said with a calm face: "Is Hua Bushi still in the backyard?"

Sima Rulan said: "Yes, Mr. Hua is in the backyard." Seeing that Hai Hongzhu's face was not good, she asked, "Sister Hongzhu's complexion is a little wrong today, but is there anything uncomfortable on her body?"

Hai Hongzhu's eyes were cold, and she said angrily: "No, my whole body is very comfortable!"

Hai Hongzhu's attitude was blunt, although Sima Rulan felt strange, it was inconvenient to ask more, so she only said a word of farewell, and then went out on her own.

It was getting dark soon. After the eldest young master finished training the dog, he went straight back to the room to carve wood, and he would not come out to eat dinner, which was the case every day. And Hai Hongzhu was angry and full of anger today, and she didn't have much appetite to eat, so she walked straight back to her bedroom in the West Chamber.

Hai Hongzhu lives in the west chamber across the courtyard, while Hua Bushi lives in the east chamber, which is exactly the two ends of the entire courtyard, separated by two courtyard walls and a corridor. Although the distance was not too far, looking out of the window of her room, she couldn't see the eldest young master's hospitalized child.

Hai Hongzhu suddenly felt that although she and Hua Bushi were called husband and wife, in fact, the distance between the two was much farther than these two tall brick walls and corridors, they were originally two shijie people, she didn't know Hua Bushi's mind at all, and she couldn't even guess it, just like now she couldn't see the courtyard where Hua Bushi lived.

After renting this courtyard, the distribution of the front and back courtyards and the rooms of each person were all arranged by Hua Bushi, did he deliberately want to avoid himself by placing the two people's residences so far away? Hai Hongzhu thought crankily in his heart.

Suspicion is like an addictive poison, and the more you don't understand it, the more it makes people think.

And at this moment, thinking in Hai Hongzhu's heart, many of Hua Bushi's usual actions became suspicious, such as the evil young master tried his best to persuade himself to go to the front hall to entertain guests, was it to create an opportunity to be alone with the city lord?

And that day Sima Rulan left angrily, Hua Bushi chased him to the street, and when he came back, his clothes were disheveled, and his hat was gone, who knows what happened between them?

Hai Hongzhu finally couldn't stand the many thoughts that appeared in her mind, Huo Ran stood up, opened the door and left the house. She is not the kind of person who can hold everything in her heart, she decided to go directly to Hua Bushi and ask everything face to face!

Although the house where the two live is separated by two walls and a corridor, as long as you don't care about so many scruples, it is not difficult to go straight to the door!

When night fell, it was already dark, and Hai Hongzhu walked quickly, and soon came to the house where Hua Bushi lived. The door is closed, and the candlelight can be seen through the window, and the figure is reflected on the sticker on the front window, and the person in the room is carving wood.

She had also come here once a few days ago, but she was sent out by Hua Bushi without saying a word, and even coaxed and deceived her, and this time Hai Hongzhu had made up her mind to let this eldest young master explain everything honestly and clearly, and he would never be allowed to fool the past again.

She stepped forward and reached out to tap on the door, and after a long while, the door opened, revealing Hua Bushi's slightly lazy face.

"It turned out that the Red Bead Lady knocked on the door, is there anything wrong with coming here late at night?" he asked, standing in the doorway.

Seeing that the eldest young master didn't seem to have any intention of inviting her into the house, Hai Hongzhu was even more unhappy in her heart, and said, "Of course I came to you for something, let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”

As she spoke, she found that Hua Bushi's originally lazy eyes suddenly froze, and his expression also changed abruptly, as if he had been stabbed by a steel needle, she grabbed Hai Hongzhu's hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about it first!"

Before Hai Hongzhu could react, she was pulled into the house by Hua Bushi, and the door closed behind her with a "bang".

He was still blocking the door just now, but now he can't wait to pull himself into the door, this guy is really acting upside down, inexplicable! Hai Hongzhu secretly wondered in his heart. She was about to ask, but her mouth was covered by Hua Bushi's hand, and her body was pulled tightly by him and walked a few steps to the bedside.

What does he want to do! Hai Hongzhu's heart was beating wildly.

She and Hua Bushi only have the name of husband and wife, but there is no husband and wife, Hua Bushi has always treated her politely, and there is no place to go over, is it only now that he finally revealed his greedy and lustful nature?

Although Hai Hongzhu's opinion of this eldest young master has changed in recent days, and she has also tried to make him her husband, but this bad guy is so rude and rude as soon as she comes up, and she wants to take advantage, but she can't tolerate it!

Hai Hongzhu grabbed Hua Bushi's wrist with his backhand, and was about to use the grappling technique to restrain him, but suddenly saw the fingers of Hua Bushi's other hand put in front of his lips and made a silent gesture.

Something went wrong, Hai Hongzhu also paused for a move, Hua Bushi had already put his mouth to her ear, and said softly: "There are people on the wall of the courtyard, carrying blades, and they may be against us!"

Although Hua Bushi does not know martial arts, his sensory perception is extremely sensitive, and his observation power is beyond ordinary people, no less than the first-class masters on the rivers and lakes. Previously, he was sitting in the room carving wood, and he didn't pay attention to it under his full attention, and Hai Hongzhu came to knock on the door, and when he opened the door and talked to Hai Hongzhu, he suddenly heard a slight breathing sound behind the courtyard wall, and under the sweeping of his eyes, he saw a faint cold light flashing on the wall.

Someone was hiding on the wall with a weapon!

Hua Bushi reacted quickly, immediately pulled Hai Hongzhu into the house, and closed the door. This kind of behavior made Hai Hongzhu mistakenly think that he was going to forcibly insult him, and he almost had to teach this evil young master a lesson.

Hearing this, the sea woman knew the reason why Hua Bushi pulled her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Then what should we do?"

Hua Bushi's mind was spinning, and he immediately thought about the current situation, and said: "Wait a minute, let's blow out the candles, and then make a noise in the back window, lure the enemy away, and escape through the front door!"

In the past year, the "Evil Dog Gate" has made many enemies, whether it is the remnants of the Tianxia Alliance Zhu Zhenyan, the Demon Dao Pure Land Sect, or the killers of the Heavenly Killing Organization, or even the Hengshan faction in the Hunan Realm, there are really many people on the rivers and lakes who want to kill Hua Bushi. However, these people should all be on the Middle-earth continent, and Okura Island is located in the middle of the ocean, more than 2,000 miles from the mainland, and on this island, this great young master should not have to put him to death.

However, the night walkers outside the door did not come with good intentions, and obviously did not come for money. The silver taels of the Vedic Sky Tower were not stored in Hua Bushi's house, and now there are no valuable things in this room, at most only hundreds of wood carvings. And the other party is not here to rob money, he is walking at night with a sharp blade in his hand, he must be here to kill!

And in an instant, the eldest young master also made a judgment that this person was not a veteran of assassination.

A seasoned assassin must be good at the art of hiding and stealth, and the person lying on the wall of the courtyard outside not only did not hold his breath in time to be heard by Hua Bushi, but also the cold light reflected by the blade in his hand did not know how to hide it.
