Chapter 30: Good Guy or Accomplice
Back in the room, Lin Xiaoyue was so restless that she couldn't just sit there and wait to die. She had to go over and see what the man was going to do!
The space sensed her and made her invisible again, taking her to the number one room.
It turned out that the man asked for hot water but it didn't come no matter how long he waited. Every time he asked the waiter, the waiter said with a sullen face that the water was still boiling in the kitchen. So he had to settle for the second best and asked for dinner first, but the waiter still said that dinner was still being prepared in the kitchen!
Humph, he just saw the waiter carrying a large bucket of hot water to the woman’s room No. 1. Maybe the woman is having dinner now!
This was outrageous. This shop had already extorted five hundred taels from him, and they wanted him to pay more. Was he running into a scam?
In anger, he knocked the waiter unconscious. He wanted to see whether there was something wrong with the store or whether that woman was plotting against him!
But after searching the waiter for a long time, he only found two taels of silver. He kicked the waiter angrily and said, "Where did you get the silver? You've been delaying the delivery of my bath water and dinner. Did that woman instruct you?"
The waiter was also a shrewd man. He didn't confront the vicious man directly. Instead, he ran out, clutching his aching back. "Boss, someone here has gone crazy! They stole my money and hit me!"
The man lifted the waiter into the air like a chicken and threatened him, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll throw you downstairs and see if you can still spend these two taels of silver!"
"Help! Someone is killing me! Shopkeeper, please save me!" The waiter's howling cry for help was also heard by the shopkeeper downstairs, but in order to protect himself, the shopkeeper closed his eyes and pretended not to know.
Lin Xiaoyue, who was hiding, couldn't bear to watch it any longer. This waiter was so stupid. After giving him sleeping pills, he should have let the man eat and sleep directly. Now, he was going to lose his life!
But, Xiao Er cannot die!
If death were imminent and Xiao Er told the truth, she wouldn't be able to hide even in Yangming Mountain. With this man's violent temper, he would definitely hunt her down to the ends of the earth!
She returned to the space and searched for a long time. The incense had smoke, and the man would definitely find it if he had time; if it was poison, she would have to pour it into his mouth, and she would probably be killed by the man with a sword before she could get close; as for assassination, she succeeded last time because Qiu Caishen drank a lot of alcohol and took muscle softening powder, but she really couldn't do it when the man was sober!
It seemed that she really couldn't think of any other solution except to escape!
But she will never run away!
How can a time traveler admit defeat?
Anyway, her name wasn't written on the money. If this man really came to her, she would just have to deny it!
So she decisively returned to her room.
She didn't dare take out the food from the palace outside, but luckily her godfather prepared it for her!
She took out two oil-paper bags from the space and touched them with her hands. With this big treasure of space in place, they were still warm!
What delicious food is inside?
She couldn't wait to open them and see that both packages were roast chicken. Her godfather really loved her! When she returned to Dongyuan Town, she must bring more delicious food with her!
She tore off a chicken leg and started eating it in big mouthfuls, as if the No. 1 room had nothing to do with her!
Suddenly, the man in black appeared in front of her, his eyes wide open as he roared, "Woman, give me your life!"
Lin Xiaoyue dodged nimbly, holding the roast chicken, and angrily scolded, "Are you sick? I've already given you the room, what do you want to do?"
The man threw the waiter in and asked, "Then why did you give him two taels of silver? Wasn't it because you wanted him to deal with me?"
Although Lin Xiaoyue was right, as long as he didn't mention the sleeping pills, she was still safe. She replied calmly, "I was in a hurry for hot water, and I asked him to bring dinner up, so I gave him a little extra money! You've been around for a while, so you shouldn't be unaware of this, right?"
The man was frustrated and said unconvincedly, "But you guys cheated me out of five hundred taels of silver! Shouldn't you give it to me first?"
After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue was both angry and amused. She pointed at the waiter and said, "Your five hundred taels of silver have nothing to do with me! If you want it fast, give me more silver. Don't I have everything I want?"
The man threw the waiter to the ground and cursed, "You're just making up your mind! I'm going to go to the county magistrate and report this shady shop of yours. Just wait!"
Lin Xiaoyue watched the man leave and said, "Just now you didn't even dare to say your own name. Do you think you dare to go to the county government? You are open and honest, but I am worried! We are just passers-by. You are not embarrassing us, you are actually embarrassing yourself!"
"I can give you five hundred taels of silver, but only if you exchange your No. 1 room with me, because I came to this inn first, and I want to sleep more comfortably."
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously and suddenly attacked Lin Xiaoyue. His large hand gripped her neck and slowly tightened. "Are you sent from there? You will definitely die today!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt the air in her throat growing thinner and thinner, and spoke with difficulty, "Brother, are you kidding me? I was the first one to enter this inn, and you came in right after me! There's more than one inn in Yanxi Town, why did you want to go into the same one as me? You really have a devil in your heart, and everyone you see looks like a devil!"
The man didn't listen to the explanation at all, and his big hand was still tightening. Although what the woman said was right, it was related to the safety of the master, and even the slightest problem was not allowed!
"You're such a silver-tongued fool! Go to hell!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt as if she was being lifted up. Due to extreme lack of oxygen, her vision became increasingly blurry, her head felt dizzy, and her face was swollen and painful. Was she really going to die?
She had finally gotten rid of He Yuan and Jiang Bai and had just started a new life. Would God play such a trick on her?
Just when she felt that she was about to sink into endless darkness, the hand hidden in her sleeve reached into the space and took out a dagger, "If anyone is going to die, you should die first!"
She struggled hard and plunged the dagger into the man's abdomen.
"There's something wrong with you!" The man felt pain and punched Lin Xiaoyue hard in the chest.
Lin Xiaoyue's weak body could not withstand the heavy blow, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with her. Her head hit the ground with a "bang" sound, and she felt countless stars appear in front of her eyes.
It hurts! Is she having a concussion?
She wanted to faint right away, but would this damn man kill her with a knife while she was unconscious?
Sure enough, the man had no intention of letting Lin Xiaoyue go. He let the blood from his abdomen continue to flow out, drew the sword at his waist and walked towards Lin Xiaoyue.
Just then, a pleasant voice came from the door, "Let her go!"
Lin Xiaoyue shuddered and looked towards the door, but the man was faster and blocked her view with his body!
Damn it!
Who was this person? Was he the kind man who came to rescue her? Or was he an accomplice of the man?
She struggled to stand up and try to see who was coming, but she was hit on the neck with a club and fell into a coma.
