The man didn't follow closely, and Qin Nian was busy with something, so he didn't notice him.
As night falls, Dawa Village falls into silence.
Qin Nian was in a light sleep. In her daze, she heard a slight noise and someone was pulling the bolt on the door.
Qin Nian woke up instantly. He listened carefully. There was silence outside the door at first, and then there was the sound of the bolt being pulled.
Qin Nian understood that someone must have come. Was it the county magistrate or Mr. Zhang's men? Came to kill them?
She gently nudged Granny Li and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, wake up, there's someone knocking on the door."
Granny Li also woke up and sat up. Qin Nian whispered again, "Grandma, someone pulled the bolt outside."
Fortunately, it was a newly built house with a large wooden door, and the bolt was quite tight, so it couldn’t be opened in a short while.
After putting on his clothes and getting off the ground, Qin Nian whispered to Mrs. Li, "When I fight with the bad guys outside, you can find a chance to run away.
Don't worry about me. As I said before, no one in this world can hurt me."
Mrs. Li nodded: "I know, you must be careful."
The two men walked to the door, and Qin Nian used his hand to hold the bolt, preventing the people outside from moving it.
She had the blessing of the space and was not afraid. She was hesitating whether to let Mrs. Li enter the space first.
The person outside the door was very alert. Although she didn't hear any movement from inside, the bolt didn't move, so she knew that the person inside must have discovered it.
She decided to go all out, so she gathered all her strength and kicked the wooden door several times.
Mrs. Li shouted angrily, "Who is it? Want to steal something? I tell you, if you don't come in, your life will be protected.
Once you break in, you’re dead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the wooden stick she had placed by the wall and prepared to fight the enemy.
"Grandma, remember what I said, I will deal with the people outside, and you find a chance to run away.
Don't rush up, don't think about helping me, I can do more, remember?"
Mrs. Li looked at Qin Nian, saw the determined expression on her face, and nodded.
“Crack!”
The oak door bolt was kicked in pieces, which showed how strong the man outside was.
A man appeared at the door.
The man was wearing a tight-sleeved black shirt, a black scarf covering his face, and holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.
After entering the door, he ran towards the grandparents without saying a word.
Qin Nian pushed Granny Li away: "Grandma, step back a little and remember what I said."
She moved her mind, took out the short knife for digging wild vegetables that she had thrown into the space, and stabbed the man with it.
Here comes the first move.
"Huh?"
The man let out a low cry, obviously not expecting Qin Nian to dare to attack first, and judging from his steps and posture, it was obvious that he knew kung fu.
The man stepped forward and stabbed Qin Nian's heart with the dagger in his hand.
Qin Nian dodged and stabbed the man's neck with the short knife covered in mud in his hand.
The two people fought back and forth.
Qin Nian was afraid that Mrs. Li would get hurt, so he stood in front of her, feeling a little restrained.
In addition, the man's kung fu was much better than Qin Nian's, and soon Qin Nian was in danger.
He was forced to take several steps back.
She gritted her teeth and was about to take Mrs. Li into the space when a figure flashed in, as fast as the wind.
The man was carrying someone on his shoulders, but it didn't affect his movements at all.
He reached out, grabbed the killer by the collar, and snatched the dagger from his hand.
At the same time, the killer kicked out and groaned, falling to the ground. He was stepped on and couldn't struggle.
Qin Nian looked over and saw that the person who came in later was also a man. He was very tall, with eyes brighter than the stars. He had a smile on his face as he looked at Qin Nian.
It was the man who had helped Qin Nian in the men's cell.
"Is it you?"
Qin Nian was surprised: "How did you get out?"
The man smiled proudly: "Getting out of the cell is as easy as pie for me.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Bi, and I am a disciple of Tianyuan Sect. "
Qin Nian nodded slightly: "Mr. Su, thank you for your generosity and saving me and my grandmother."
Mrs. Li stepped forward and hit the man on the ground with the stick in her hand a few times, cursing:
"We, grandparents, have no grudges against you. Why do you want to kill us in the middle of the night?"
What surprised Qin Nian was that every time Mrs. Li hit him with the stick, Su Bi was able to lift up the killer's foot in time.
The moment Mrs. Li swung her stick again, he was able to step down with his foot. This level of accuracy is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
After a few hits with the stick, Mrs. Li's anger finally dissipated. She looked at Su Bi's face and said, "Thank you, hero, for saving us, grandparents and grandchildren."
Su Bi smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, old man."
After saying this, he squatted down and thrust the tip of the dagger into the killer's eye:
"Tell me, who sent you? I am not very patient. If you dare not tell me, I will dig out your eye.
Then I'll dig another one, and then I'll chop off your hands and feet. Hurry up and tell me."
The man was obviously scared: "I'll tell you everything, it was King Xuan's counselor Jiang Nan who sent me here.
I was told to kill Miss Qin and her family and bury their bodies in the ditch."
Su Bi snorted coldly: "To attack innocent people is a beast."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped the killer on the neck, and the killer fainted instantly.
"Mr. Su, how did you get out? How did you know this man wanted to kill me?"
Su Bi said: "I have heard before that there is a Miss Qin in Dawa Village who is a doctor with great medical skills, so I brought my uncle tonight to ask Miss Qin to help him heal his injuries.
But I didn't expect that Miss Qin was you."
After he finished speaking, he put the person on his shoulders on the chair and leaned his body against the person.
Mrs. Li quickly lit the oil lamp.
Su Bi's uncle was in his fifties, with a face as thin as a skeleton and long hair that was loose and reached his chest.
He was wearing a blue shirt that was very torn, with a big word written on the chest: Prisoner.
Qin Nian raised his head and glanced at Su Bi: "Is your uncle a prisoner?"
Su Bi nodded: "Yes."
There was suddenly anger in his eyes, as if it wanted to burn the night away.
"My uncle is called Yang Tiancheng. Ten years ago in the spring, he went to the capital to visit a good friend and said he would return in half a year. But three years have passed and he still hasn't returned.
I went to Beijing to ask the good friend he visited, and got feedback that the uncle had never been there.
My master and I looked in many places, including asking all of his friends who lived in seclusion in the mountains, but we couldn't find him.
Later we analyzed that Master had an unruly personality and might have offended someone, so he was locked up in jail.
I looked for opportunities to enter death row cells in various places, but I couldn't find him. Later I concluded that he might not be in death row, but in an ordinary cell.
I looked for some clues and came to Yi County. I found an opportunity to enter the cell and investigate, and sure enough, he was inside.
But he was poisoned and felt weak all over, without even the strength to speak.
I heard that there was a Miss Qin in Dawa Village who was an excellent doctor, so I brought my master here.
Miss Qin, please help my master take a look."
