Chapter 2672 He is an outsider after all
The guards and Jinyiwei at the door naturally did not stop her. Xie Jiaojiao directly opened the curtain and walked in: "Hey, you——"
Before he could finish his words, he smelled a pungent smell of blood.
"Li is not hurt?!"
Xie Jiaojiao had been hanging out with wild wolves on the grassland since she was a child, and was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. When she smelled the blood, she was so scared that she let out a low cry. Then she saw Li Bushang slowly standing up, with blood all over one of his hands, and blood was still dripping down his slender fingers.
"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?!"
Xie Jiaojiao rushed forward hurriedly.
However, the expression on Li Bushang's face was indifferent, which was almost the same as every time he saw her in the past.
He just frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing here?"
At this moment, Xie Jiaojiao didn't even have time to care about his indifference towards her. She just grabbed his hand and carefully checked it up and down: "Are you hurt? You——"
But as he spoke, he discovered that although his hands were covered in blood, he was not injured.
Xie Jiaojiao frowned: "You are—"
Li Bushang pulled his hand back calmly, took a handkerchief from the side and wiped the blood off his hand, and said calmly: "I'm not hurt."
"Um?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him, then at his feet, and found that there were several snakes there.
All of them had been cut in half, and some snakes had been chopped into several pieces. There was a large pool of blood on the ground, but even so, you could still see the snake's tail still twisting, which was very disgusting.
Xie Jiaojiao frowned suddenly: "What's going on?"
Li Bushan wiped the blood off his hands, threw the handkerchief aside, and said calmly, "What's going on?"
"Snake? How could there be a snake?"
"How should I know?"
"Did these snakes get into your tent?"
"Um."
Li Bushang glanced down at the large pool of blood at his feet and said coldly, "Fortunately, I didn't fall asleep so early, otherwise, I would have died of poisoning by now."
Xie Jiaojiao's brows furrowed.
These snakes are obviously poisonous.
If a person falls asleep and a snake swims in, he or she may really lose his or her life.
But--
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Li Bushang and said, "Why are there snakes here? No one else in the camp has seen any snakes."
“…”
"Besides, when so many of us came here to camp, we had already cut down all the grass around. Even if there were any snakes, they would have been scared away long ago. How come there are still so many snakes, and they are all in your tent?"
Naturally, Li Bushan had also thought about her question.
But Li Bu Shang had no intention of asking the truth. He just said coldly, "Perhaps, even the snake knows that if I die, the problem will be solved easily."
Xie Jiaojiao took a deep breath and said, "You mean, someone wants to harm you?"
“…”
"Who is it? Who wants to harm you?"
Li Bu Shang gave her a cold look and said, "Do you think I should know?"
“…”
"If I had known, what I just killed wouldn't be a snake."
Xie Jiaojiao frowned again, biting her lower lip and said, "After all, they are from here, so they are like this. Let me go ask them!"
After saying that, he turned around and rushed out.
Li Bushan didn't stop her, but just watched her angry back as she rushed out, his eyes still cold.
Then he lowered his head and looked at the poisonous snakes that were broken into several sections.
After Xie Jiaojiao rushed out, she ran around the camp with an angry look on her face. No one around dared to provoke her. After taking two steps, she saw Xue Huai'en walk up to Song Zhiwen's tent, open the tent and walk in.
She immediately rushed forward and suddenly pulled open the curtain.
In the tent, besides Song Zhiwen, who was sitting on a chair, Xue Huai'en, who had just walked in and was still standing at the door, and Murong Qiuming, who was sitting in front of Song Zhiwen, Xue Huai'en was bumped by Xie Jiaojiao, who suddenly rushed in from behind. He stumbled and almost fell. Looking back, he said, "Jiaojiao, why did you rush in without any reason?"
Seeing that it was her, Song Zhiwen also asked, "Jiaojiao, why are you here?"
Xie Jiaojiao's face was still full of anger as she said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known what you were planning to do."
"Well?"
Xue Huai'en was surprised when he heard this: "Jiaojiao, what are you talking about?"
"Tell me, what am I talking about?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him coldly and said, "Why did you want to kill Li Bushang?"
"What?!"
Song Zhiwen was shocked: "Kill Li without hurting him? How could that be?"
"Why not?"
Xie Jiaojiao said coldly, "I just came out of Li Bushan's tent, and there were several poisonous snakes in his tent."
“…”
"If he hadn't rested so early, and if he wasn't so skilled, he would have died by now!"
“…”
Song Zhiwen was silent for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "Well, there are already many snakes on the grassland. If a snake got into the tent, it might not be man-made."
"Brother Zhiwen, do you believe what you said?"
Xie Jiaojiao said, "With so many of us setting up camp here, the snakes must have been scared away long ago. How could they possibly come back? Besides, no one has found any snakes anywhere else, only in Li Bushan's tent, and they're all venomous."
“…”
"If that's the case, then this snake is too good at understanding people's intentions!"
Several people looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Xue Huai'en forced a smile and said, "Jiaojiao, your words have put us in a difficult position. Since snakes don't understand human intentions, they have nothing to do with us."
“…”
"Is there anyone here who can drive away these snakes like you can drive away wolves?"
“…”
Xie Jiaojiao was stunned by what he said.
She bit her lower lip for a long while before she slowly said, "But I know what's going on."
When Song Zhiwen heard her say this, he looked up at her.
At this time, Murong Qiuming, who had been silent the whole time, said slowly, "Jiaojiao, even if someone wants to kill him, so what? He is an outsider after all."
“…”
"You rushed in front of us and lost your temper over an outsider. Is that right?"
"I--"
"Jiaojiao, this Li Bushan has never been nice to you. As the eldest daughter of the Xie family, the future of the Xie family rests on your shoulders. You should be considering our interests. Why are you worrying about this person's life or death, and why are you even bothering to consider his expression? If you even help him to argue with us, that would be even more wrong."
“…”
"You, think about it carefully."
“…”
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him for a while.
Gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice: "I don't care about anything else, but Li Bu Shang cannot die."
“…”
"If anyone insists on his death, he is against me!"
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the tent.
Xue Huai'en had been standing at the door of the tent. Seeing her like this, he was a little at a loss for a moment and said, "What's wrong with this girl?"
