The dagger was cold and hard, pressing mercilessly and silently against the soft part of the ginger-like waist.
The faint smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of cosmetics from the banks of the Jinshui River wafted into my nose.
Jiang Si secretly thought that he was careless.
It's true that wild thoughts will bring bad luck.
"Don't scream. I won't hurt you." A woman's low warning voice sounded behind him.
From her voice, I could tell that the woman was probably still very young.
Jiang Si felt that the voice sounded familiar for some reason, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
The carriage had started moving, creaking as it moved forward. With the slight bumps, the tip of the dagger lightly touched the ginger-like waist.
She could feel the dagger being deliberately moved back.
"Who are you?" Jiang Si asked, and quietly spread out his right hand hanging in front of him. A faint light that was difficult to see with the naked eye flashed in the palm of his hand.
The woman's voice sounded again, with a hint of impatience; "You don't need to ask, and don't look back. I will leave when I get to the right place..."
Jiang Si was slightly surprised.
When she accidentally ran into two men talking in Baiyun Temple, she first used the magic firefly to freeze the bearded man's thoughts for a moment, and then pierced his skin with the spikes coated with paralyzing snake poison, and then she escaped successfully.
Now, she was still planning to use that method, but she ran into trouble: the woman holding her was not affected by the illusion at all.
The phantom firefly grew in the flesh of Jiang Si's hand and was already in tune with her. She could sense the phantom firefly's feelings of grievance.
That way she couldn't be reckless.
She could use the spikes to stab the woman when she was off guard. As long as she could scratch her skin a little, the initiative would be back in her hands.
But what if the other person is the kind of person who can react immediately even when caught off guard?
This risk should not be taken unless it is absolutely necessary.
She hasn't lived enough.
Not to mention that the eldest sister's crisis has not been resolved yet, the braised pork elbows bought by my father are crispy and fragrant, the cold noodles from Wang Wusao's house sent by my second brother are spicy and refreshing, and Erniu is so likable, even Yu Qi——
Thinking of the man who had a lot of flaws but also many advantages, Jiang Si sighed in his heart.
He would be very sad if she died in this carriage.
In short, you can't die.
Jiang seemed to have temporarily given up his plan of taking a gamble.
Of course, she did this out of some intuition: just now the carriage was shaking, and the kidnapper quietly moved the dagger away a little, which showed that this person was not a cruel and evil person.
The carriage suddenly stopped at this moment.
Ah Fei's voice came from outside the car: "Yu, Yu, Mr. Yu, what a coincidence..."
Oh my god, if Mr. Yu knew him, he would be able to guess that it was Miss Jiang in the car.
Ah Fei had just watched Jiang Si get on the flower boat and then returned to the carriage to wait, unaware of the excitement that would follow. This horrifying discovery frightened him so much that he almost lost his grip on the reins.
Old Qin frowned and glanced at Yu Jin, then turned around and leaned against the car door curtain and said in a low voice, "Miss, it's Master Yu."
Jiang Siming clearly felt the dagger behind him tremble, and then the woman's surprised voice: "Are you a woman?"
The lights on the car wall had already dimmed because they had not been refilled with oil in time, and the light inside the car was not very bright.
Hostaging a person is never a relaxing experience, and the woman apparently did not realize Jiang Si's true identity.
There was a gentle knock on the car window, and the young man's clear voice came: "I still want to see you off."
The dagger was instantly pushed forward and pressed against Jiang Si's lower back.
"Send him away!"
Jiang Si opened his mouth, his throat tightened: "I told you not to, just go and do your work."
"Sending you is the right thing to do."
Jiang Si's mouth twitched, and she thought that if this bastard kept talking sweet words to her, she would be stabbed...
"Why don't you lift the curtain and look at me?" asked the person outside the car.
Jiang seemed to turn his head subconsciously.
The woman who kidnapped her apparently did not expect the man outside the carriage to be so shameless, and she forgot to warn Jiang Si not to move.
Under the dim light, the two looked at each other. Jiang Si's eyes suddenly widened a little, and he finally understood why the woman's voice sounded familiar.
This woman turned out to be the girl who rescued the little boy because of a frightened horse on the way back from Baiyun Temple.
Jiang Si's face was retouched, so the woman didn't recognize him. When she saw that he had seen her clearly, she flipped her hand and put the dagger against Jiang Si's neck. With her other hand, she held Jiang Si's hands and mouthed, "Let him go!"
Jiang Si was afraid that the dagger would accidentally cut his neck, so he said with a stern face: "I have seen enough. If you don't leave, don't come to see me again in the future."
There was no sound outside the car for a moment.
After a while, the person outside the car sighed and said, "Well, I won't see you off. Don't be angry."
As the sound of horse hooves faded away, the woman's tense mood relaxed. She did not put away the dagger across Jiang Si's neck, but said in a soft voice, "Leave here. I will leave when I feel safe. I won't embarrass you."
Jiang Si nodded.
The carriage moved at a moderate pace, and the further it got from the Jinshui River, the quieter it became. However, occasionally, we would encounter other carriages speeding on the bluestone road, or officials on night patrol.
After the curfew was lifted in Da Zhou, the nights were also lively.
Jiang Siming could clearly feel that the car was speeding up.
The woman let go of her hand, lifted a corner of the car window curtain and looked out.
Except for the lantern hanging on the head of the carriage that dimly illuminated the surroundings, everything in the distance was pitch black.
Confusion and bewilderment flashed across the woman's eyes. She let go of the curtain and changed her tone: "I need a place to stay."
Jiang Si quietly rolled his eyes.
The female robber who had been making such a fuss for a long time needed her to find the so-called safe place.
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Siyang ordered, "A Fei, go to Songzi Lane."
The rented house was located in Songzi Lane.
"Yeah." Ah Fei responded, and the sound of a horsewhip was heard.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped again, and Ah Fei's helpless voice came: "Girl, the carriage is broken. Anyway, we are almost at Songzi Lane, why don't you get off and walk."
The woman suddenly became nervous and whispered, "No!"
Jiang Si said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "The carriage is broken down. If I don't go out, they will get suspicious. Besides, since you asked me to arrange a place to stay, you will have to get off the carriage sooner or later. There is no way I can hide it from them."
She had a vague sense of the woman's desperation, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a request to a kidnapped person.
Maybe it's because he felt soft-hearted when he saw how handsome she looked in men's clothes?
The woman finally nodded and motioned Jiang Si to get off first.
Jiang Si was moving towards the car door when he suddenly felt the dagger against his back move away, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
She turned her head suddenly and saw that there was a pair of back doors at the end of the carriage that had been opened at some point, revealing endless darkness outside.
Jiang Si quickly got out of the carriage from the front.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Jiang Si didn't answer Ah Fei and looked back.
Yu Jin kicked the woman who was thrown to the ground and said, "Leng Ying, take her back to feed Erniu."
