Song Yiren tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Whenever she thought about Zhan Yihan coming to propose marriage tomorrow, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"No, I must not let Su Jinyue succeed." Song Yiren sat up, climbed down from the bed, jumped to the chest of drawers on one foot, opened the chest of drawers, reached in and took out a handkerchief wrapped in something.
Looking at the handkerchief in her hand, Song Yiren narrowed her eyes, her eyes became slightly fierce, she took a deep breath, and opened the handkerchief layer by layer, only to see a bamboo flute inside. The bamboo flute was only as long as her little finger, and there were delicate patterns engraved on it. Looking closely, the pattern looked like a blooming poppy flower.
Song Yiren took out the bamboo flute and held it tightly in her hands. "Su Jinyue, I will never let Brother Zhan get engaged to you. He is mine, and you can't take him away from me."
Holding on to the wall, Song Yiren jumped out step by step.
At night, the small river behind the house is quiet, and occasionally the fish in the river swim by, making slight paddling sounds.
Song Yiren looked around and sat down on the river bank, breathing heavily. When she recovered, she took out the bamboo flute, looked at it for a while, then put it to her lips and started to play.
The sound of the bamboo flute was mournful, and seemed a little strange in the dark night.
Song Yiren gradually grew frightened. She glanced around and shuddered. Didn't they say someone would appear if she blew the bamboo flute? Why was there no one? Could the person who gave her the bamboo flute be lying?
Three months ago, she went to the mountains to collect herbs and encountered a seriously injured middle-aged man on the roadside. Taking pity on him, she saved him. To repay her, the man gave her this bamboo flute. He said he would help her with three things. This was her first time using the bamboo flute.
"You're looking for me." A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Song Yiren was so scared that the hairs on her body stood up and she almost fell into the river. She calmed herself down and looked at the person who came. She saw that the other person was wrapped tightly in black cloth from head to toe except for his eyes. She had no idea what he looked like. "You... are you a human or a ghost?" She had never seen someone dressed so strangely.
"What's the matter that you called me over with the bamboo flute?" asked the man in black coldly.
Song Yiren looked at the bamboo flute in her hand. She saved that man's life, so he shouldn't lie to her. "I want you to kidnap someone." As long as Su Jinyue disappeared, Brother Zhan would not be able to propose marriage.
The man in black nodded. "Who?"
"Su Jinyue, I want you to send her away, the farther the better, and never let her return to Shangxin Village again." Song Yiren said. She didn't want to be so cruel to Su Jinyue, but who asked Su Jinyue to steal the person she liked?
After absorbing the spiritual energy from the snake gallbladder, Su Jinyue opened her eyes and focused her gaze on the wall. Her vision had now reached the second level of Wisdom Eye, and her ability to see through things could last for about five minutes.
Her sight slowly penetrated the thick wall, and soon she saw the scenery behind the house. Su Jinyue smiled happily. It felt so good to be able to see through things!
At this moment, two dark figures caught Su Jinyue's eye, and she was stunned. Wasn't that Song Yiren? What was she doing by the river so late? She had known Song Yiren for so many years, so she naturally recognized her figure at a glance.
Looking at the man in black with Song Yiren, Su Jinyue was startled, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart. She had seen a similar man in black in her previous life. At that time, the man in black wanted to kill her, but Yihan arrived in time to save her. It turned out that the man in black was related to Song Yiren.
Thinking of this, Su Jinyue immediately stood up, opened the door and ran outside. No matter what Song Yiren's purpose was in calling the man in black, she couldn't be careless.
Song Yiren led the man in black into the yard and pointed to Su Jinyue's room, "She lives there."
The man in black nodded, stepped forward, took out a dagger, quietly pried open the window of Su Jinyue's room, and jumped in.
Song Yiren smiled coldly and jumped towards her room. There will be a good show to watch tomorrow.
After closing the door, Song Yiren jumped to the bed and was about to go to sleep when she heard someone knocking on the window.
Coming to the window, Song Yiren pushed it open and saw a man in black standing outside.
Song Yiren was a little surprised when she didn't see the man in black carrying Su Jinyue. "Where is Su Jinyue?"
"It's not in the room," said the man in black. He went in and searched everywhere.
Song Yiren frowned, "It should be in the toilet."
"I've looked everywhere, there's only an old man in the room," said the man in black.
"Impossible! Where would she go so late?" Song Yiren said in disbelief.
"Yiren!" Xu Tiansheng's voice came, and Song Yiren was startled. She quickly whispered to the man in black, "Go find her. I suspect she went to the Zhan family." Su Jinyue couldn't have known she was going to deal with her, so the only possibility was that she had a secret meeting with Brother Zhan. How shameless!
The man in black nodded, turned around and ran outside.
"Yiren, are you still awake?" There was a gentle knock on the door.
"I'm already asleep and just got up to go to the toilet." Song Yiren said.
Hearing Xu Tiansheng's footsteps fade away, Song Yiren heaved a sigh of relief, turned her head to look out the window, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Su Jinyue, don't blame me for being cruel. You forced me to do this.
Su Jinyue ran to the Zhan family's house and saw through the crack in the door that all the lights in the Zhan family were off. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and ran out of the village. She decided not to disturb Yi Han so late at night. The man in black was obviously not a good person. It would be bad if he implicated his family.
After running two steps, Su Jinyue saw a figure swaying in front of her. She quickly squatted down and slowly moved to the foot of the house to hide herself.
The man in black came to the door of the Zhan family, looked around, jumped onto the wall and climbed in.
Seeing the black-clad man sneak into the Zhan family, Su Jinyue was filled with anxiety. Logically speaking, Song Yiren would not let the black-clad man deal with Yihan, so the black-clad man came here to find her. If he couldn't find her, he would leave immediately.
Thinking of this, Su Jinyue made a quick decision and ran towards the village entrance. Regardless of whether the black-clad man's target was her or not, she could not let her guard down.
"Who?!" Zhan Yihan suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed.
The man in black hadn't expected Zhan Yihan to be so alert, so he quickly turned and ran. Zhan Yihan was able to sense him, so he was definitely not an ordinary person. He shouldn't stay here for long.
Zhan Yihan chased out of the room and was about to run out of the yard when Zhan Dafeng's voice came from the room, "Yihan, what happened?"
"There's a thief." Zhan Yihan said. Judging from the other party's skills, he shouldn't be a thief. But what was he doing in his house?
"Thief! Yihan, go check if the betrothal gifts are missing!" Wang Meizhen's anxious voice rang out, followed by the sound of someone frantically putting on shoes. She had prepared the betrothal gifts for tomorrow's marriage proposal overnight, hoping that a thief wouldn't steal them.
"Yeah!" Zhan Yihan responded and walked towards the main hall. Tomorrow's business was the real thing.
