Before going to bed at night, Boss Du found the cloth bag that Liushang had given him last from the bottom of the box and put it beside him, planning to deliver the things to Prince An's Mansion early the next morning.
But unexpectedly, I was awakened by a scream in the middle of the night.
"Mom! Who are you? Ah!"
It was Mrs. Du’s voice.
Boss Du suddenly sat up from the bed and felt around, but felt nothing.
He quickly jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and went to open the door, but through the crack in the door, he saw Mrs. Du lying on the ground with blood gushing out from her body. A man in black holding a knife was standing next to her.
Boss Du felt like his head was exploding in an instant. He subconsciously wanted to open the door and rush out, but he saw Mrs. Du on her deathbed. She shook her head at him with all her strength and waved her hand to tell him to run away.
Boss Du didn't understand why his family, who were kind to others and had never had any disputes with the neighbors, were suddenly subjected to such a cruel attack.
But between lightning and thunder, he looked at the package at the bedside, and his intuition told him that perhaps Prince An's Mansion could give him the answer.
So, Boss Du endured the severe pain in his heart, took a deep look at Mrs. Du, turned around and climbed out of the opposite window.
Seeing Boss Du leave obediently, Mrs. Du finally closed her eyes with relief.
After another man in black went to deal with Mrs. Du, they kicked open the door of Boss Du's room, but saw that the room was empty and the windows were wide open. Only then did they realize that Boss Du had run away.
"Boss, one ran away."
The man in black, who was called the boss, frowned and kicked Mrs. Du's body.
"It must be that the woman's scream just now was heard by her husband. I didn't expect him to run so fast. Why don't you chase him quickly?"
"yes."
Three men in black chased out one after another.
Boss Du ran stumblingly, his clothes torn to shreds by the thorns.
Although he didn't know martial arts, he was a man after all and was familiar with the terrain. He quickly found a melon shed to hide in.
The man in black caught up and circled around him several times. Boss Du bit his wrist tightly to prevent himself from making any sound.
"This kid ran pretty fast, where did he go?"
"Will they go into the city?"
"The city gates are locked at night. How could he have such a talent? He must be hiding somewhere. Let's go look for him."
"OK."
After the man finished speaking, he saw a bamboo basket standing nearby and casually stabbed a sword into it. Not finding anything unusual, he left with the others.
Boss Du, who was hiding in the bamboo basket, was still feeling frightened. He thought that he would probably never forget the feeling of the sword brushing against his cheek.
Boss Du felt pain in his lungs. After he took a breath, he realized that he hadn't dared to breathe for a long time.
He squatted there stiffly for a cup of tea before moving cautiously. However, he did not dare to leave. There was no other place to hide nearby except the melon shed.
Those people were right. The city gates were closed at night, so even if he wanted to escape to Prince An's Mansion under the cover of darkness, he couldn't.
But if we keep hiding here, those people may come back.
Just when Boss Du was at a loss and in a dilemma, Uncle Wang, the owner of the melon shed, suddenly came over under the cover of night.
He was muttering to himself as he walked.
"It's really strange. Why do you have to come over here to check it out in the middle of the night?"
Uncle Wang had already fallen asleep, but halfway through his sleep, he suddenly felt very nervous. He kept thinking that something was going to happen in his melon shed. He wanted to force himself to fall asleep, but the more he lay there, the more awake he became. After tossing and turning in bed with his eyes closed for a long time, he finally decided to put on his clothes and go into the melon shed to take a look.
From a distance, Uncle Wang thought that the melon shed was in good condition.
He felt that he must be a little sick and was about to leave when he saw the bamboo basket he had casually placed aside suddenly move.
It was the middle of the night and he was really scared.
"Oh my god, who? Who's there?"
As Uncle Wang spoke, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and knocked it twice on the ground to act as a deterrent.
"Come out quickly, or I won't be polite."
After hearing this, Boss Du knew that he could no longer hide.
He hesitated for several times, but finally gritted his teeth and moved the bamboo basket away from his body, "Uncle Wang, don't be afraid, it's me."
Uncle Wang was old, and it was late at night, so his eyesight was a little blurry, but he could vaguely tell from the voice that the man seemed to be Boss Du.
"Boss Du? Is that you?" he asked tentatively, and the next moment, he saw Boss Du coming out of the bamboo basket.
"It's really you, what are you doing here?"
Uncle Wang was frightened by Boss Du's miserable appearance and immediately became alert.
Boss Du quickly extended his hand, "Uncle Wang, don't be afraid, I, I'm..."
Thinking of Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du who had been murdered, Mr. Du was suddenly overwhelmed with grief. A seven-foot-tall man actually burst into tears.
Uncle Wang was also shocked when he saw this.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
At this moment, he completely forgot his guard against Boss Du, quickly dropped the stick in his hand, walked to Boss Du and kept asking questions.
Boss Du was still worried about whether those people would come back, so he said hesitantly, "Uncle Wang, can you take me in for one night?"
Uncle Wang usually has a good relationship with Boss Du. Seeing his appearance at this moment, he knew that he must have encountered some difficulties.
So he didn't say much and hurriedly took Boss Du to his home.
"Go, go, go, go back first."
…
The next morning, as Butler Song opened the gate of the palace, he saw a man leaning against the door.
He frowned, "Hey, hey, who are you? Why are you sleeping here?"
Boss Du was suddenly touched while he was sleeping. He woke up instantly and looked up at the person in front of him, "You, you are..."
Steward Song said, "I am the steward of this palace. Why are you sleeping at the gate of the palace?"
Boss Du was delighted. "I, I'm here to see the prince. No, that's not right. I'm here to see Liu Shang."
Butler Song also knew about Liu Shang's affairs, so when he heard the man mention Liu Shang, his expression became alert.
"You come to see Liu Shang, who are you?"
"Liu Shang is my sister. She said she was working in the palace, so I came to find her."
"Do you have anything to do with her?"
She left something here with me, and I came to return it to her.
Butler Song glanced at Boss Du and saw that he seemed to be hiding something in his arms.
He nodded, "I'll go and inform them first."
This matter is a bit strange, and the prince has to make the decision.
