Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao recalled what the old lady had said before: Zhuangyuanlou was the property of the Liu family.
The fact that this white-haired woman could enter and hide here so freely suggests that she must have some connection with the family.
My mind was filled with...
The Liu family: a dwarf, a white-haired woman, and close relatives.
"Tianling, let's leave as soon as possible and get to Hangzhou. It's only a little over 100 kilometers away; we should be able to get there tonight." Shen Jiaojiao suddenly lost her appetite.
Having witnessed many things in modern times, I always feel that the truth behind them is not good.
She wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Chu Tianling watched silently, saying little, but his gaze towards her deepened.
No matter where you come from, don't even think about leaving me.
Although Zhou Tianqi was also shocked, he was more concerned about his stomach. The only advantage of being by His Highness's side was that he could eat his fill, and he understood the important point.
While they're all thinking, wouldn't it be better to just eat two more bowls of rice?
Sure enough, by the time Shen Jiaojiao said to leave early, the others realized that Zhou Tianqi had already eaten and drunk his fill, stood up briskly, and was full of energy.
Those unlucky guys at his table could only stand up, cursing him inwardly: "You beast! I'll never sit at the same table with him again!"
"Please take care, distinguished guests! Welcome to visit again!" The waiter, clutching a tip, grinned so wide his teeth were showing.
What a generous guest! He waved goodbye. How wonderful it would be if ten such distinguished guests came every day, and I could serve them exclusively.
The carriage left the town and headed towards Hangzhou.
"Who goes there! Show yourself!"
They had only walked less than a kilometer when the group became chaotic.
When did you get up here?
"Don't move!"
Zhou Tianqi stopped the carriage and replied to the person inside, "Your Highness, it seems there's been an accident at the back!"
The curtain was lifted, and Chu Tianling got off the carriage with a cold face. He reached out and picked up Shen Jiaojiao, and the two walked towards the back.
The accident happened in the last carriage. At that moment, several guards were gathered around the back of the carriage, talking to each other inside.
Chu Tianling approached: "What happened?"
The guard pointed and said, "See for yourself!"
The carriage that was originally loaded with silk goods now had a white-haired woman wearing a black cloak in the corner.
This person is clearly the same one who appeared in the Scholar's Pavilion before.
The light outside was strong, and the woman's snow-white face was hidden under the brim of her hat.
You can't see the other person's expression.
"Kill me!" A familiar voice rang out; it was the woman's voice.
? ? ?
Although the sound was soft, everyone could hear it clearly.
Are you sick in the head?
Why would someone come here seeking death out of the blue?
The others were still somewhat afraid of this rare case of albinism and remained silent.
Shen Jiaojiao stepped closer and asked gently, "Where's your son? Weren't you with him just now?"
Somehow, those words suddenly triggered something in her.
The woman screamed and suddenly yelled fiercely at Shen Jiaojiao, "Kill me! Kill me now!"
Shen Jiaojiao reflexively covered her ears, indicating that she was frightened.
You're insane!
Chu Tianling rushed forward and pulled Shen Jiaojiao behind him, looking warily at the white-haired woman.
However, the sight of the two protecting each other touched the woman's heartstrings again, and she suddenly pulled out a dagger and was about to stab him.
"You bitch! You slut, go to hell!"
Chu Tianling hugged Shen Jiaojiao tightly and took a few steps back.
Zhou Tianqi quickly stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, snatched the dagger, and gently pushed the woman to the ground.
"ah!"
The white-haired woman let out a painful scream. As she fell, her hat tilted, revealing half of her snow-white face.
The sunlight shone on her face, and soon the woman screamed, frantically shielding her eyes from the sun and quickly covering herself with her black cloak.
Everyone could clearly see that when the sunlight shone on the skin, the originally snow-white skin began to turn red and bleed, which was quite frightening.
Good heavens! Albinism is terrifying.
"Ouch! It hurts so much! Brother... Brother Liu! Come and save me!"
The white-haired woman huddled in a small ball, a black cloak covering her. She trembled, looking like a frightened little animal, pitiful and helpless.
Shen Jiaojiao stood to the side, unsure of what to do, considering whether to send the person back.
I've only gone one kilometer, so I can go back quickly too.
Just as they were standing in a circle, not knowing what to do, another chorus of footsteps came from behind them.
Shen Jiaojiao turned around and, as expected, saw the familiar Wu Jianguo.
From afar, I could see a group of people gathered together, and in the middle there seemed to be a familiar black cloak trembling.
The string in his mind snapped instantly: "How dare you!"
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
He was accompanied by ten thugs.
Upon hearing the order, he pulled out his large machete and immediately went to chop.
Shen Jiaojiao was about to curse. Seriously, are you out of your mind? You're always shouting for violence!
Wu Jianguo ran the fastest, his anger seemingly channeling into a murderous urge, his sword pointed directly at Shen Jiaojiao.
The reason for choosing her is that she was standing closer to the white-haired woman.
"Ah!!! Die!" Wu Jianguo shouted as he ran.
Suddenly a person appeared in front of him.
Just before he was about to touch Shen Jiaojiao, Zhou Tianqi reappeared beside him, grabbed his hand with lightning speed, and snatched the sword from his hand.
Then, with Wu Jianguo's pupils dilating in shock, a backflip was executed, perfectly throwing the man away.
One second Wu Jianguo was thinking of killing someone, but the next second he realized that he had been thrown right next to the white-haired woman, and his expression immediately turned to surprise.
He quickly crawled over and hugged the white-haired woman in his arms.
Seeing the burns on the other person's face, she felt heartbroken and tears streamed down her face: "Waaah... It's all my fault for being late! My darling, waaah... Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"I don't want you! I don't want you! I want Brother Liu, go away!" The woman struggled in his arms.
"Okay, be a good girl, I'll take you to find your brother right away!" she comforted tenderly.
"You're a liar! I won't listen! I won't listen!" She struggled frantically.
Shen Jiaojiao was speechless: "Hey! Aren't you going to tell your men to stop? Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
I really don't want to commit murder.
However, the two crazy people completely ignored Shen Jiaojiao's words and continued to put on their act.
"Stinky baby, I'll carry you home!" Wu Jianguo's voice was exceptionally gentle.
"Go home? I don't want to go home. If I go home, you'll have to take off all your clothes and give me a bath. I don't want to!" the woman refused.
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened, her worldview shattered!
ah? ? ?
What kind of dog shit is this?
Chu Tianling also looked at him with complicated eyes, as if to curse: Beast!
The fighting group slowed down for a moment!
Is this what I meant?
Why are we even fighting?! Can't we just stop? I want to hear the gossip! We have no grudge against each other!
