Chapter 31 A blind cat catches a dead mouse
The next day, before dawn, Lin Xiaoyue was awakened by the cold air on the ground. She instinctively ran back to the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt like a cocoon.
What happened last night was very strange. She needed to recall it carefully, but there was only a vague figure of a good man in her mind. Then she was knocked unconscious. She didn't wake up until now when she was woken up by the cold.
That means no one has ever entered this room since then!
Did that hateful man leave?
She hasn't taken revenge yet!
Lin Xiaoyue jumped off the bed and rushed directly to the top room.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Whoever's in there, get out of here!"
Standing outside the door, she knocked desperately but no one answered, so she finally pushed it open with force.
But the house was empty!
Damn it, you want to run away after bullying someone? No way!
Lin Xiaoyue rushed directly to the shopkeeper's counter on the first floor and woke the dozing shopkeeper with a loud voice, "Shopkeeper! Where's that man? I want to settle accounts with him!"
The shopkeeper sighed, waved towards the door, and said listlessly, "He left a long time ago! He's probably out of town by now, right? Hey girl, that guy's obviously a martial artist, and you can't beat him! Anyway, you've already taken three hundred taels of silver, so forget it!"
Lin Xiaoyue angrily slammed the counter and cursed unwillingly: "Forget it? I never suffer any loss!"
The shopkeeper frowned in embarrassment. This girl has such a bad temper, he must not take her anger out on his inn!
He had no choice but to flatter her humbly, "That person is gone, and I can't make it out! It's still early, why don't you go and rest for a while, young lady? Or, I can ask the kitchen to make you some breakfast? Just tell me what you want to eat, it's my treat!"
Lin Xiaoyue was in no mood to eat. She hadn't avenged herself for the strangulation and beating from the club yesterday!
She asked depressedly, "What are you eating? Is that guy heading towards Furong Town or the capital?"
The shopkeeper pointed to the south and said, "It should be heading towards the capital."
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted and headed towards the capital. The man would definitely pass by Yangmingshan. Coincidentally, she also wanted to go to Yangmingshan!
I’m going to kill you this time!
"Thank you, boss! I'm leaving now!"
As she said that, she walked out the door.
The streets were empty at this time, with only a few breakfast stalls scattered around, but the anger in her heart had not yet subsided, and even the delicious food could not make her stay on the road for a moment.
If she just walked, she would definitely not be able to catch up with a man who knew martial arts, so she found a deserted corner and activated the space to run towards Yangming Mountain!
Because the space hid her, she walked recklessly all the way. She would chase after whatever she imagined, but until she reached the foot of Yangming Mountain, she did not see the shadow of the man.
She was going to Yangmingshan again. People said that this place was haunted. She originally planned to find the "ghost" and then rule the mountain as the king!
But this time it seems that both the man and the ghost are going to be caught together!
However, before going up the mountain, she took some poison from the space and put it into a thin tube, which she hid on her body together with the dagger for self-defense. She also poured out the water in the bottle and replaced it with pepper water.
After getting ready, the space continued to take her up the mountain. This time, with the blessing of the space, she walked very easily, just like standing on a skateboard with a steering wheel. No matter where she went, she could do it with ease!
Yangming Mountain is much larger than the Bandit Mountain outside Dongyuan Town, and it is also covered with lush vegetation. It is very easy to hide someone here!
So she took a long branch and swept the dense grass with it as she walked. As long as the man was hiding in it, she didn't believe she couldn't hit him!
But the strange thing was that after she walked the same route that He Yuan and Jiang Bai had taken her, she still didn't see the man. She hadn't wasted any time coming all the way from Yanxi Town, but why couldn't she catch up with him?
Or did that person take another path?
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but frown. If it weren't for this road, it would be really difficult to find it!
So she took a copper coin from her purse and said, "The one with words on it goes east, and the one without words goes west!"
The copper coin popped out from her fingertips, flew into the air, made a few circles, fell to the ground, and spun, spun, spun... Finally, it stopped on the side with the words.
Go east? Then try your luck!
The space brought her into the eastern mountains. There might be fewer people coming here, and the grass there was almost as tall as a person, so it was difficult for her to judge what the road under her feet was like. In the end, the space did not run very smoothly because it only received intermittent direction judgments from her brain.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyue missed a step and rolled down.
pain!
There were many large and small stones under the tall weeds on the hillside, which hit Lin Xiaoyue so hard that she felt pain all over. Fortunately, she protected her face in time, otherwise she would have been disfigured!
She didn't know how long she rolled, and only after she stopped did she see her surroundings clearly.
Lin Xiaoyue rubbed her aching back and struggled to stand up from the ground. This seemed to be a valley, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and springs flowing. In front of her was a dense bamboo forest. This was truly a poetic place, completely different from the weed-covered hillside!
It would be a pleasure to live here!
Continue walking forward, through the bamboo forest, and you will see a wide lake with a pavilion in the middle of the lake. A trestle connects the land and the pavilion. It seems that there are people living here!
Who could it be?
Lin Xiaoyue looked around and saw a bamboo courtyard on the left, which gave people a sense of otherworldliness. She wondered if the owner of the courtyard would mind having more neighbors?
So she exited the space and planned to go into the bamboo courtyard to take a look.
"Excuse me, is anyone here?"
Pushing open the bamboo door, Lin Xiaoyue carefully poked her head out and asked.
But what answered her was a sharp sword. She had just arrived in this valley, how could she have offended anyone?
Could it be...
Lin Xiaoyue looked up suddenly and saw that it was that man again!
"It's you! I'm here to settle accounts with you today!"
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue pulled out the kettle from her waist and poured the whole kettle of chili water towards the man.
Although the man swung his sword in the air to block some of the pepper spray, some still entered his eyes, nose, and mouth. The intense spicy smell made him cry and snot. "Cough cough cough! You vicious woman, I'm going to kill you!"
"That depends on whether you have the life to kill me!" Lin Xiaoyue came prepared this time. She took out a long and thin tube and pretended to blow it at the man.
But a strong wind blew, and a tall man appeared in front of her, "Girl, please forgive me when you can!"
Lin Xiaoyue recognized this voice. It turned out that it was him who had spoken out to stop the inn before!
"Why? He stole my top-tier room and tried to kill me. He even knocked me unconscious, forcing me to sleep on the floor all night! I can't vent my hatred unless I give him a good beating!"
