It was completely dark and almost nightfall.
In the streets and alleys of Ancheng, there are scattered passers-by in a hurry.
Mrs. Huo looked dazed, half of her body almost leaning on her man Zhou Pingjiang, her lips swollen from biting. She said, "Husband, do you think Silly Girl will be okay?"
Mrs. Huo was used to thinking the worst. Without her daughter around, she lost all her energy and spirit, and every step she took became extremely difficult.
Many years ago, if the couple had not gone down the mountain to rob, and the little silly girl had been left on the mountain, how could she have become stupid due to the high fever and untimely treatment?
It’s retribution, it’s all retribution!
From then on, no matter how hard the couple tried to take care of their health, they had no children.
Not long after, the Huo couple brought their brothers from the mountain to join their master and began recruiting soldiers.
There is no need to worry about food and drink in the mountains. Huo has to hide his identity. As the master's trump card, he rarely has the opportunity to go down the mountain.
"It's all my fault for acting on my own. What if something happens to that silly girl..."
Mrs. Huo stopped and felt a pain in her heart. Even if it was just an accidental incident, she still felt guilty.
In contrast to Mrs. Huo's uncertainty, Zhou Pingjiang remained calm and comforted her, "My dear, nothing will happen. Although Jiang Yuzhu has a wild temper, she's also been spoiled by the Jiang family. On the surface, she seems to have no grudges against us and won't harm our silly girl. Even if she really knows our identities, threatening her with silly girl is more valuable than harming her directly."
Most likely, the silly girl was playful and didn't have many playmates of the same age in the mountains. When she saw Jiang Yuzhu's maid, she felt friendly and didn't guard against her.
"Just like you said, the short and fat guy dared to go with Jiang Yuzhu without being exposed, so we can hide even deeper."
Zhou Pingjiang came to the carriage and horse shop, led out the horses, and smoothed Mrs. Huo's hair. The rough lines on her face softened a little. "After this incident, let's take it as a lesson."
"It doesn't matter whether Silly Girl gets married or not. We will spoil her for the rest of her life. Why not ask someone to buy her a few maids so that Silly Girl can have a playmate."
Mrs. Huo was always worried that the maids would not serve her well enough and would bully Shaya behind her and her husband's backs, and Shaya would often not say anything. Mrs. Huo took good care of her daughter and always did everything herself.
The couple comforted each other and felt a little more relaxed.
When I was leaving with the horse, I happened to meet two ladies standing in the alley chatting.
"How can parents be so careless these days?"
"That's right. You actually trust an outsider with your own flesh and blood. Even if they are relatives, there are still some who have bad intentions!"
"Poor girl, she died tragically because of a single thought. She's the only child her parents have left. It breaks my heart!"
The two ladies were talking to each other and sighing.
Mrs. Huo was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. When she came to her senses, her palms were full of sweat. She grabbed Zhou Pingjiang's arm and said, "Husband, I'm worried!"
Although Huo was a subordinate of the same master as the short and fat man and the skinny bamboo pole, he did not know much about them.
just in case……
"Silly girl is my life!"
It is better to trust yourself than to trust others. This is how the Huo family has been doing for so many years.
Zhou Pingjiang said hesitantly, "If those two tip off the master..."
The couple's status is special, so they are not allowed to go down the mountain easily. This is the rule.
Mrs. Huo's face trembled as she sneered, "What's the big deal? Just silence them."
Ancheng was the couple's territory, so why were they so timid and hesitant? They were the master's men, yes, but they were not the short and fat man's subordinates.
After the couple figured it out, they turned their horses around and headed back to the inn to inquire about the news.
After a while, Ningxiang finally came out of the alley. Seeing that there was no one around, she ran back to the inn to report.
At the inn, just as Jiang Yuzhu had expected, the short and fat man and the skinny guy had already agreed to attack Sha Ya.
The short and fat man smiled sinisterly and said, "He's just a fool. If he stays here, he'll become a hidden danger sooner or later. Let's get rid of him. If the master blames us, we can defend ourselves a little bit."
The thin bamboo pole agreed and threw a mask to the short fat man: "You are responsible for killing people, and I will be responsible for keeping watch."
Among the maids beside Jiang Yuzhu, two walked very lightly and were obviously martial artists.
The purpose of the two was only to kill Sha Ya, not to alarm Jiang Yuzhu.
"I know. Jiang Yuzhu is a woman who only knows how to enjoy herself. What's her value? All we're targeting is the child in her belly."
The short and fat man and the thin bamboo pole came together and came to a teahouse in Ancheng under the cover of night.
In the private room, Silly Girl was sleeping soundly with her little face rosy.
Hong Jin heard the footsteps, curled her lips slightly, and her heart moved. The lady was indeed very smart, and someone was coming.
In just a breath, the short and fat man's shadow was already outlined through the Korean paper.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked hard and he fell to the ground.
The short and fat man was wearing a mask. He jumped up nimbly and slipped in.
Hong Jin raised her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
"Get out of here and mind your own business!"
The short and fat man didn't want to waste time fighting with Hong Jin, so he glanced around and finally fixed his gaze behind the screen.
"Sister Hongjin?"
Sha Ya was sleeping soundly. When she heard the noise, she moved her eyelids and subconsciously looked for Hong Jin.
When the short and fat man heard the noise, he rushed into the inner room with a dagger in his hand and looked very aggressive.
"I don't care who you are, get out now!"
Hong Jin crossed her arms and stood in front of the short and fat man with a calm expression.
The Huo family can't come so quickly, so they have to delay for now.
Downstairs, Shou Zhugan was already getting impatient and was pacing back and forth at the street corner opposite the teahouse.
The silly girl is unarmed and a fool, and the short and fat guy has been gone for a long time. Could something have happened?
Just as he was about to go to the teahouse to meet them, Shouzhugan's eyes met with Zhou Pingjiang and the Huo couple who were walking towards him, and he immediately thought something was wrong.
"Husband, take your men to watch over that thin bamboo pole. I'll take some people up to take a look!"
The two were not together, and Mrs. Huo's eyelids twitched wildly. She suddenly had a bad feeling that her guess was about to be confirmed.
When they arrived at the door of the private room, Mrs. Huo happened to see the short and fat man attacking someone with a dagger. Even though Hong Jin tried to block it, her arm was still scratched in order to protect Sha Ya.
In an instant, Huo's anger could not be suppressed. If she had not been advised to return halfway, she would have been fooled by the short and fat man and the skinny bamboo pole!
The two of them were not here to save anyone, they were here to take her daughter's life!
"Silly girl, mother is here!"
Mrs. Huo rushed towards Sha Ya and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms. Several brothers who were temporarily transferred surrounded the short and fat man and pulled off the mask on his face.
"Huo, I'm trying to save Shaya, don't confuse friend with foe!"
The short and fat man lowered his eyes, then quickly reacted and spoke eloquently to defend himself, "Kill this maid!"
"Mom, he's a bad guy!"
Silly girl was confused and didn't know what to say. She was so anxious that she kept wiping away tears.
Huo was too lazy to waste time talking to the short and fat man and shouted to his brothers, "Leave no one alive!"
Downstairs, the thin bamboo pole who was keeping watch had also been controlled. He and the short and fat man were tied up with ropes and sent to a remote forest.
