Chu Li walked downstairs and glanced at the panic-stricken Li Zhifu. When their eyes met, Li Zhifu subconsciously lowered his head.
"Miss Chu." The one-eyed man walked forward.
Does she look in a good mood?
"Go back to Hexi Inn."
"good."
I have solved a worry and found the murderer in the dark. From tonight on, I can sleep well and I am naturally in a good mood.
But staying in an inn is not a long-term solution after all.
She instructed several maids and spent a day finding a nice little pavilion near the lake with a small garden, which was no worse than the one that had been burned down before.
Of course, the price is also beautiful.
After negotiating with the boss, signing the house deed, putting your fingerprints on it, and waiting for the government to stamp it, you can move in.
These two days, she is still staying in the inn temporarily.
The white-feathered parrot cleaned its beautiful white feathers. "Master, help me, quack quack—"
"Master, help me."
Chu Li lay on the couch, propped up his head, and observed Master Turtle in the basin, practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique.
But she really couldn't figure it out.
Master Turtle lay there for several hours without moving, as if he were dead. She felt sleepy after staring at him...
"Xiaojiu."
who?
Who is calling her?
Chu Li opened his sleepy eyes, only to find that he had only squinted for a short while before the night lights came on outside the window.
She slept for so long?
"Xiaojiu."
"Who's there?"
Chu Li looked at the screen. Under the dim light and shadow, a tall and broad figure was looming. The candlelight in the corner was flickering gently, but it was blurry and difficult to see clearly.
She walked over puzzled.
The figure seemed to be approaching and far away, floating in the air.
She reached out her hand, lifted the curtain, and hesitantly pushed open the screen... Suddenly, a hand pulled her in.
"ah……"
The hands were strong and powerful. With just one hand, he grasped both of her wrists. Before she could see his face clearly, the burning breath had already invaded her territory:
"Why don't you come to me?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I miss you madly, I even want to go with you, to end it all once and for all, you cruel woman!"
"I don't……"
"Uncle!"
Even though I didn't see his face clearly, a low cry came out of my mouth. I suddenly opened my eyes, sat up, touched my face, neck and clothes, and realized that I was dreaming.
She dreamed of Chu Dichi.
In the dream, he pinched her fiercely, questioning her ruthlessness and cruelty. His pair of red eyes were extremely hideous and painful in the darkness, like hot coals, branding her body.
Why did she dream about him?
he……
Are you blaming her?
What happened at the beginning was sudden, and she never thought that she would be shot. Later, she came to Jiangnan to use her death to put everything back on track.
But why, why did he look at her like that...
So scarlet, so painful.
Chu Li touched his chest, unable to describe the feeling, but it felt like a stone was pressing on it, stuffy and a little tight.
Just at this moment, the sound of tiles being crushed broke through the night.
Snap——
Someone!
Chu Li's expression straightened up, he took off the thin blanket on his body, blew out the candle, and walked lightly to the window. He only heard the sound of footsteps stepping on the eaves.
Coming here at night, could he be a killer sent by Chu Yuanchi?
Still want to put her to death?
She reached for the vase on the table with her backhand and carefully discerned the other person's movements.
After waiting for a while, I heard the footsteps gradually fading away.
Gone?
Isn't it aimed at her?
Just passing by?
Chu Li opened half of the window and saw a black figure hiding in the night, passing through the Hexi Inn and quietly sneaking into another attic.
Soon, the sound of broken porcelain and a woman's screams were heard from the other side.
Flower thief! ?
Chu Li was slightly stunned.
In the past few days, I have heard people talking about it several times. It is said that there are flower-stealing thieves in the Jiangnan area. I didn't expect that she would run into one ready-made one?
She immediately went downstairs and ran over there:
"Chuyi, Chuer, come with me quickly and bring your best weapons with you!"
In the attic opposite.
"Who are you... looking for death... um... so bold..."
Bang!
Bang!
There was a drug burning in the room, but it did not make the woman unconscious.
The woman drew her sword and started fighting with the masked man, but due to being drugged and lacking physical strength, she gradually became unable to continue.
"It's such a fierce one!"
The masked man licked his lips, his fat and thin eyes were full of lust, and he looked very obscene.
"The stronger it is, the better I like it."
Hahaha!
He grabbed the medicine powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it over. When he was about to capture the woman with one strike, a strong palm wind suddenly hit his back.
"ah!"
He staggered forward and rolled four or five times.
The man in white robe dispersed the internal force in his palm and supported the staggering woman.
"Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business here!"
"Piao Miao Sect, Lu Yunchu."
"Second Brother?!"
At this time, Chu Li came with his men, but saw a familiar face. When he saw the woman he had saved in his arms, his jaw almost dropped to the ground:
"Mu Xue?"
"Ari-nii-nii!"
Qin Muxue widened her eyes in disbelief, and when she was about to pounce over, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Lu Yunchu's beautiful face.
As soon as she saw him, I didn’t know whether it was because of shock or the effect of the drug, but her body went limp and she fainted in his arms.
