Chapter 113 He came to save her? 】
Madam Li tried to give way for a long time, but was finally stopped by Chen Fenghe.
Madam Li raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Madam Chen, I'm so sorry. I...how can I repay you for saving my life..."
Chen Fenghe smiled and said, "Sister Li, you don't have to worry too much."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and went to help with the cooking. While Madam Li was not paying attention, she took out the white lard from the space and fried some spicy cabbage. She also made a plate of pickled vegetables, a carrot soup, and cornmeal steamed buns for dinner.
It is indeed shabby, but it is indeed an everyday meal for ordinary poor families.
Just think of it as losing weight...
Because the kimchi was fried with lard, Gou'er couldn't help but say, "Mom! Sister Shen's kimchi is delicious, better than Mom's!"
Madam Li took a bite and found it more delicious than anything she had ever eaten before. She took another bite and said with a smile, "It really is. I don't have much of an appetite, so you guys should eat more."
As he said that, he only picked up the vegetables from the pickle dish.
Chen Fenghe saw it all and thought that as a widow, she usually just took on some embroidery work to earn some pocket money to make a living, and there was really no better way.
After dinner, Madam Li dragged her sick body and embroidered for a long time under the oil lamp before going to sleep.
After they fell asleep, Chen Fenghe secretly placed two strings of copper coins, about two thousand coins, under her pillow.
If she used silver, she would have to explain where it came from. Copper coins were much more convenient. She should be paid in copper coins for her daily embroidery work, so she would not be targeted by people with ulterior motives.
After doing all this, she suddenly heard a slight noise above her head. It was clearly the sound of someone stepping on the roof tiles!
Then she sensed a faint fragrance in the air.
Is it... a magic incense?
Chen Fenghe turned over and pretended to be a little uncomfortable, but in fact she had held her breath.
She had to lure this person in, otherwise, she didn't know how many people there were, and she was afraid that if she went out rashly, it would harm Madam Li and the dog.
If they died, the officers and soldiers outside the town would have even more reason to assume that they died of typhoid fever or plague, and trapped them to death in the town!
Besides the noise on the roof, Chen Fenghe then heard a soft "thump" sound. Chen Fenghe discovered that the wooden bar behind the Li family's wooden door had been inserted with a dagger into the crack of the door and was being pried open bit by bit...
Chen Fenghe held herself back for the moment, waiting for the man in black outside to quietly push open the wooden door.
She held a silver needle in her hand, and when he approached, it flew out.
"Ugh!" The man groaned as the blood channel on his neck was stabbed. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground!
The man obviously noticed something was wrong. He endured the pain and struggled to stand up. The dagger in his hand flashed coldly in the middle of the night and he stabbed at the person on the bed!
Chen Fenghe was not vague either. He raised his foot and kicked the man hard in the sternum. Then he used a grappling hand to directly remove the dagger from the man's hand. At the same time, the syringe in his hand flashed, and the anesthetic was directly injected into the man's body!
"Ugh..." At this moment, the man fell to the ground with a thud like a dead pig!
Fortunately, Madam Li and the dog were drugged and were not woken up by the loud noise.
Chen Fenghe did not let down her guard. The person on the roof just now was obviously not the same person as this one.
However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a more intense noise coming from the roof, as if someone was... fighting?
Chen Fenghe was surprised. Could it be that there were two groups of people who came to assassinate her and then started fighting among themselves?
She tiptoed out of the door and looked towards the roof, only to see two dark shadows fighting each other.
One of them was obviously no match for the other and had the other's sword pressed against his throat.
"Tell me! Who sent you here? Ahem..." the man asked in a low voice.
Even though he tried hard to suppress it, he still coughed a few times at the end of his words. Chen Fenghe immediately recognized that this person was Xiao Yunshuo.
Xiao Yunshuo obviously also saw Chen Fenghe coming out, and his dark eyes glanced at her.
The person who was restrained took advantage of Xiao Yunshuo's momentary distraction and suddenly waved his right hand. A bag of white medicine powder instantly scattered in the air!
In his other hand, he held a few bone-piercing nails, ready to shoot them towards Chen Fenghe!
"Be careful!" Shen Fenghe was shocked and shouted subconsciously!
Anger flashed in Xiao Yunshuo's eyes. He immediately held his breath, raised his sword, and chopped off the man's arm that was holding the bone-piercing nail.
Despite the pain, the man didn't even let out a cry!
Xiao Yunshuo was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted and sneered, "So you're afraid you'll tell on me, and you've been poisoned and rendered mute? If that's the case, there's no need to spare your life!"
Before he could finish his words, he was struck in the throat with a sword.
The man fell on the roof without a word.
Chen Fenghe: “…”
He is a ruthless person.
However, she did not object to Xiao Yunshuo killing the killer.
The enemy had come to assassinate her, so she couldn't just let them live, could she? What if the farmer and the snake were killed after she let them go?
Moreover, this killer has already met Xiao Yunshuo. If he is allowed to return alive, there is no guarantee that he will not spread the news that the prince is still alive to the ears of the dog emperor, the fifth prince and other people who intend to compete for the throne.
By then, it won't just be the petty fights like now where they want to get rid of her and Qin Mengyue openly or covertly!
Xiao Yunshuo dealt with the assassin with a single strike of his sword, but then his body suddenly swayed a few times, his legs gave way, and he sat down on the roof, unable to even hold the sword in his hand...
Chen Fenghe's heart trembled, and she immediately guessed that he might have been poisoned by the smoke just now.
She looked around and luckily there happened to be a ladder in the yard. Chen Fenghe immediately moved it over and climbed up.
Xiao Yunshuo watched her climb up and immediately said, "I'm not a bad person."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Chen Fenghe: "I know. Do you think I won't recognize you if you change into night clothes?"
Xiao Yunshuo: "..."
Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but feel a little... happy.
She recognized him.
Chen Fenghe didn't notice his subtle expression, but quickly put her hand on his wrist to feel his pulse, which was indeed a bit strange.
This... Looking at his condition just now, it's obvious that he's been infected. But looking at his pulse, apart from the Forget Worry Gu and his limbs being limp, what else can't be diagnosed?
Could it be that the killer didn't use poison? But...how could a life-or-death killing move be an insignificant poison?
Seeing her frowning and thinking, Xiao Yunshuo coughed twice and said, "I'm fine, don't worry..."
Shen Fenghe glanced at him and said, "I'm a doctor. You're fine only when I say you're fine."
Xiao Yunshuo shut up obediently.
As she spoke, she simply took out a small glass container from the space and collected some residual powder from the killer's hand, intending to test it herself later in the space.
However, even though his pulse seemed fine, Chen Fenghe still took out an antidote pill from his space and asked Xiao Yunshuo to take it.
"Can you stand up?" Shen Fenghe asked.
Xiao Yunshuo tried several times, but failed.
Chen Fenghe had no choice but to put his arm on her shoulders and help him up.
However, after the person was helped up, Shen Fenghe remembered that they were now on the roof.
If she were alone, she could either climb the ladder or jump down directly, both would be no problem.
But she was holding onto a grown man, how was she supposed to get down?
Xiao Yunshuo suddenly asked, "Want to go down?"
Chen Fenghe nodded and said, "You sit down first, I'll go down and find a rope..."
It's just like when you go to the cellar in the countryside to pick sweet potatoes and want to hang a child down, just tie his waist and hang him down.
And the killer's body must be disposed of, otherwise Madam Li and the dog will be scared to death tomorrow morning, right?
However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt someone hugging her slender waist, and then her body floated lightly into the air!
"ah!"
Even though she had seen many storms, Chen Fenghe screamed in fear and subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yunshuo's clothes tightly.
However, she quickly shut up.
I have seen the world too!
Isn’t it just Qinggong?
It’s not like she hasn’t seen it before!
However... despite saying this, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This shit actually exists?
Fortunately, it’s only on the second floor, which is acceptable. If it were a cliff, wouldn’t it be murder?
However, she has traveled through time and space, so she has no right to worry about common sense.
Xiao Yunshuo landed her lightly on the ground, but his body swayed twice and he almost fell. Fortunately, Chen Fenghe supported him and he managed to stabilize his body.
Xiao Yunshuo was about to say thank you when his blood suddenly rushed to his head and he quickly raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose.
However, Chen Fenghe immediately noticed his abnormality and put her fingers on his wrist.
As expected, his pulse was chaotic this time. I'm afraid that the Forget Worry Gu in his body was disturbed by the poison he had been poisoned with before, and suddenly started to wreak havoc in his body!
Chen Fenghe quickly helped him sit on the ground and said, "Sit down for a moment. I'll give you acupuncture right away."
Having said that, without caring about anything else, he tore off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body.
Xiao Yunshuo's cheeks were pale, but his dark eyes were fixed on Chen Fenghe without blinking, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a gentle Milky Way.
Chen Fenghe had a serious expression, but she didn't have time to notice his eyes.
She quickly took out the silver needles, went to his back, and quickly and accurately inserted the silver needles into the acupuncture points on his body.
After all the acupuncture was completed, Xiao Yunshuo suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood again.
Chen Fenghe finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Forget Worry Gu in your body has been suppressed. You should be fine for the time being."
As she spoke, she stood up and said, "Mrs. Li and the dog have been drugged by the incense and will probably not wake up tonight. I'll help you go to her woodshed. You can rest for a while before returning to the inn. I'll be back soon..."
She was still worried about Qin Mengyue and the three little ones. Even though they had Chen Wu and Yuan Xun with them, if they were defeated by the killer, they would lose their own lives instead...
