Chapter 187 You're such a nice person!
"Sweetie, sweetie, wait for Auntie, Auntie will be back in a little while..."
Aunt Liu pushed the child further into the mat and carefully covered him with the blanket.
As she left, she kept turning back to look at him, still worried!
But she was only gone for a few minutes.
A furtive figure crept into the tent!
He threw back the covers, and just as he picked up the child to leave, a voice, even colder than the autumn rain, came from behind him…
Where are you planning to take him?
"..."
The man froze, and the child in his arms cried even more intensely.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck!
The light inside the tent shone even brighter, revealing a long knife hidden in the man's sleeve!
"I saw that he was crying so hard and there was no adult around, so I wanted to comfort him."
"Yeah?"
"Yes..." The man slowly turned around!
He had a rugged face and a robust physique, typical of a hardworking person who toiled under the sun and wind.
The tent was already small, and now it felt even cramped!
Looking at Wen Ni, the girl standing by the tent flap, she was half a head shorter than the man, and her figure appeared even more slender under the long raincoat.
It seems like one man could hold three of her.
In comparison, her exceptional height among girls now appears rather petite!
[Turns out she's just a little girl?]
Upon seeing Wen Ni's appearance, the man's eyes darted around, and he clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't realize you were such a nice person," Wen Ni said, feigning surprise.
"Do one good deed every day, do one good deed every day..." the man chuckled.
"You should give the child to me. You're a grown man, but you're still a bit clumsy. Look, the child's freezing!" Wen Ni laughed, a harmless laugh.
Upon hearing this, the man tightened his grip on the child slightly.
His gaze repeatedly swept towards the curtains behind Wen Ni, which were being blown by the wind.
Wen Ni's hands were outstretched, still poised to catch it!
"What's wrong? Give me the child!"
"Hey, could you turn around and check if it's raining heavily outside?" the man asked in a low voice, his head bowed and his face shrouded in the shadows of the lamplight.
“It was raining quite heavily when I arrived,” Wen Ni said, looking at him without moving.
He didn't speak, but the atmosphere in the tent was somewhat gloomy!
"But I'll still take a look for you, since the weather this month is always so unpredictable!"
Wen Ni suddenly said this, and then obediently turned around.
Behind him, a triumphant smile appeared on the man's face hidden in the shadows...
Just as Wen Ni's fingers were about to touch the tent flap, she immediately sensed the person rapidly approaching from behind!
Her lips curved into a smile, her expression grew increasingly cold, and her eyes held an air of complete control.
"court death."
A cool and disdainful girl's voice, revealing her true colors.
Wen Ni swiftly pulled back the curtain and stepped out with quick yet steady steps!
She decisively rushed into the rain, dodging the knife, and immediately turned around, grabbing the curtains on both sides and pulling them together.
The next second, the man's sharp long knife pierced straight through the curtain!
The tip of the knife missed Wen Ni's chest by a hair's breadth, then it was swiftly withdrawn.
The rain was pouring down on a rainy night.
Inside the tent, the man who had sheathed his knife looked somewhat suspicious. He didn't chase after them immediately, but instead gripped the knife tightly in his hand, staring intently at the tightly sealed curtain, extremely cautious!
After a while, when he was sure he hadn't heard any other noises, he finally felt a little relieved.
He figured that the little girl had probably run away to get help!
He couldn't delay any longer.
If we bring in the garrison later, he'll be 100% trapped!
"That girl's smart enough to dodge it, otherwise I would have definitely killed her! I would have made sure she never came back!"
He muttered harsh words under his breath, then put the child inside his coat, hugged him, zipped it up, and was about to lift the curtain to go out.
But it was precisely the moment he opened the curtain.
A black pistol was pressed precisely against his forehead!
The gun belonged to Wen Ni, who had returned after leaving.
The rain poured down, trickling down her hood and onto her brow bone, landing on her long eyelashes.
But she didn't even blink!
The index finger rests on the trigger.
My gaze shifted downwards to the bulge in the man's clothes, and I could hear the muffled groans of a child crying incessantly.
"Put the child down, and I might spare your life for now." Her voice was low, carrying a cold, murderous intent.
"You actually have a gun!" The man was completely taken aback. "You...you really have bullets in this gun?"
Wen Ni didn't say a word. She removed the magazine with one hand and put it back in a second.
That one glance was enough to make a man's eyes tremble!
"Hero, no, heroine, spare my life! Calm down, let's talk this out!"
The man retreated step by step in fear.
Wen Ni pressed on relentlessly until the two were completely back inside the tent, and the muzzle of her gun never left his forehead!
Her hands were so steady that they made the man turn pale.
He carefully placed the child back on the mat, his hands trembling.
Then he slowly turned around and raised his hands high!
"Heroine! I'll put the child back. I won't hurt him. Please spare me and let me go!"
"Let you go?"
Wen Ni lowered her eyes and casually stuffed the gun into her raincoat pocket, then pulled out a bundle of rope from the side of her trouser pocket!
She stretched out her hands to test the elasticity, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the man. At this moment, her eyes were like those of someone looking at prey with nowhere to escape.
"I only said I could spare your life temporarily, but I didn't say I could let you go!"
"You won't let me leave?"
The man's fearful expression vanished instantly, replaced by a ruthless glint in his eyes.
Seeing that Wen Ni had put away her gun, his opportunity had come again. Taking down a little girl wouldn't be too difficult!
"Little girl, you are indeed quite skilled, but thinking you can catch me is still wishful thinking!"
The man grabbed a knife, his eyes turning bloodshot with ferocity, and pounced on Wen Ni like a vicious wolf.
Wen Ni remained unfazed.
She dodged his knife aimed at her shoulder and neck, and retaliated with an elbow strike, pressing heavily on his spine.
With just that one blow, the man felt as if his bones were about to break, and his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground!
Amid cries of pain
The tent flap was then opened again.
The person who came in was Aunt Liu!
She was also holding a bowl of steaming rice soup in her hands.
The smile that was on his face instantly turned pale when he saw the two strangers who had barged into his tent.
Aunt Liu was horrified. "What...what are you doing?!"
"Damn it, just in time!" The man's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the knife, ready to get up and take the stunned Liu Sao hostage.
Wen Ni had anticipated that he would do this.
So she was already on guard!
With a sidestep and a swift kick, she struck the bowl of hot rice soup in Aunt Liu's hand!
The bowl and soup were all thrown at the man's face, not a drop was wasted.
"ah!!"
"Hot! Hot! Hot!"
The man hadn't finished yelling.
Wen Ni stretched out the ropes with both hands and quickly tied him up tightly, then pressed him to his knees on the ground!
"Who...who are you people? What's going on?"
Aunt Liu picked up the child in alarm, and her gaze, which had been quickly sweeping over Wen Ni, suddenly froze!
"Huh?"
"Young lady, you look familiar. Are you... also from Phoenix Village?"
