Chapter 659: The dark shadow last night, was it you?
It's a knife!
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in shock and saw the knife stabbing towards her quickly!
She quickly turned to the side -
Tear!
The knife pierced deeply into the place where she had just been lying, piercing through the mattress!
When the black shadow saw that his knife stab missed, he immediately drew out the knife again. But this time, Nan Yan had already rolled to the corner of the bed, leaving no place for her to hide.
She curled up and watched the dark shadow raise the knife high and was about to stab her.
It’s over!
At this moment, she was almost in despair.
At this moment, the knife that was about to stab her suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and saw a dark shadow suddenly appear behind this figure and grabbed his hand: "Do you want to kill her?"
“…”
"Have you ever asked me?"
As soon as this familiar voice sounded, Nan Yan felt that the cold blood in her body began to rush.
That was Ran Xiaoyu's voice!
Ran Xiaoyu is here!
When the black shadow saw this, he immediately swung a knife towards Ran Xiaoyu, but Ran Xiaoyu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She immediately bent down to avoid the attack, then turned over and jumped, kicking the man in black on the wrist.
“Ugh—!”
I heard the man groan and his wrist was kicked hard.
The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a sound.
Ran Xiaoyu landed silently, like a nimble black cat, staring at the man in black with a pair of bright big eyes. He held his wrist, probably feeling that nothing could be accomplished tonight, and immediately turned and rushed out the door.
“Don’t run!”
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly followed.
Nan Yan came to her senses at this moment. She hurriedly crawled out of bed, walked over barefoot, picked up the knife on the ground, and held it tightly in her hand.
No matter what, we must not let others take advantage of us.
When she walked to the door, she saw Ran Xiaoyu standing in the open space outside the door, looking around.
Obviously, he didn't catch up with the man in black.
She let out a deep breath, then returned to the house and said, "My Lady, are you okay?"
"I didn't—"
Nan Yan didn't finish her words when she suddenly remembered something.
grandmother? !
She was so scared that her face turned pale. She hurried to the other room to check. When she opened the door, she saw that her grandmother was still sleeping soundly in bed, unaffected at all.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the man in black's purpose is just to kill him.
She closed the door again and returned to her room. Ran Xiaoyu had already carefully closed the door and walked over to light a candle.
Nan Yan saw her. Under the candlelight, her pretty baby face showed weariness, but also extreme alertness.
Nan Yan whispered, "Xiao Yu, why are you here?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "This servant has been following you."
"What?"
"Starting from that imperial tomb."
"You mean, if Arslan takes me away, you will follow me too?"
"Yes," Ran Xiaoyu nodded and said, "At that time, I also noticed that he brought people to the island. Although they were out of sight, there were quite a few of them."
“…”
"I'm alone, there's nothing I can do."
“…”
"So, I sneaked onto their ship."
"That--"
"During these days on the ship, I also wanted to find an opportunity to get close to you, but that Arslan always sent people to watch you. I didn't want to reveal my whereabouts and lose the initiative, so I didn't show up."
"Where are you then?"
"In the barn below the cabin."
“…”
"Their people didn't expect me to hide there, so they didn't find me."
Nan Yan couldn't help but gasp.
You know, even if I lived in the cabin these days and had someone to take care of me, I still felt very uncomfortable. But Ran Xiaoyu was hiding alone in the warehouse under the cabin. How could she be so miserable?
She grabbed her hand distressedly: "Why are you——"
Ran Xiaoyu didn't seem to care at all, and just said, "I'm glad you're okay."
“…”
"I'm just afraid they'll hurt you."
“…”
"But fortunately, these people are not too excessive."
Nan Yan was already heartbroken beyond words, but Ran Xiaoyu only cared about not getting hurt.
Nan Yan grabbed her hand tightly.
Then he said, "Are you hungry?"
“…”
Although it is a bit inappropriate to ask this question at this time.
But in fact, Ran Xiaoyu was really hungry.
On the boat, she could still eat some food from the warehouse, but after getting ashore all the way to Hecheng, she could only endure hunger and thirst to get here.
As soon as Nan Yan saw her haggard look, she knew that she must not have eaten or slept well.
He patted her hand and said, "Hide inside."
Ran Xiaoyu got up and walked in, then saw Nan Yan push the door open and go out. She came back after a while with some food in her hand.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "This is too dangerous. What if that person comes back?"
Nan Yan said: "He has been injured by you and has run away long ago."
“…”
"Eat first, and then we'll talk."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Nan Yan sat beside her and looked at her, reaching out to gently help her push a strand of messy hair behind her ear.
She drank two bowls of porridge and stuffed herself with a steamed bun. Finally, Nan Yan stopped her, saying that people should not eat too much after being hungry for a long time, as it is bad for the stomach. Only then did Ran Xiaoyu stop.
She wiped her mouth and asked, "My Lady, who was that person just now?"
Nan Yan frowned.
Although she was no longer afraid as soon as Ran Xiaoyu appeared, when she thought back to the moment when she had just woken up from a dream and saw a dark shadow standing in front of the bed holding a knife and stabbing her, it was still more terrifying than a nightmare.
She shuddered and shook her head, "I don't know."
“…”
"I don't even know why someone would want to kill me."
"Hasn't there been any along the way?"
"No, it's been safe along the way. Arslan sent people here to keep an eye on me, and they didn't mean to hurt me."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned.
She murmured, "But he keeps a close eye on you."
“…”
"I've looked for him many times along the way, even last night, but he couldn't show up. But tonight, it seems he went out to discuss something with someone, so he's not here."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment: "The dark shadow last night, was it you?"
"Um."
"So it's you."
She breathed a sigh of relief: "I was still worried about who it was."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch up with that black shadow just now. I don't know who wants to kill you."
Nan Yan also frowned.
After a while, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "You just said that Arslan went out to talk to someone?"
