Evil Woman
Bai Miaoke slept until dark yesterday afternoon and got up extra early today.
After practicing a few casual moves in the yard, she took out the small crossbow she had made yesterday and also grabbed a kitchen knife and put them in her backpack just in case.
Witnessing her action, Lu Yu's mouth twitched. He had seen many assassins and guards, but this was the first time he saw someone using a kitchen knife as a weapon.
After a moment of silence, he took out the black jade dagger that Bai Miaoke had given him and handed it over: "You should use this for self-defense."
"So you still have this knife. It's not cheap. If you had taken it out to exchange for money a few days ago, you wouldn't have had to waste your fish talisman." Bai Miaoke didn't take the knife, but just joked.
"This is the first time you've given me something." Lu Yu only said this, and Bai Miaoke understood what he meant.
The dagger she gave him as a gift was actually more important than the fish symbol that represented his identity. Bai Miaoke was in a good mood and smiled with her eyes curved.
He opened his mouth with a lofty ambition: "Wait for me to go hunt a pheasant and bring it back for you!"
After saying that, he walked out of the door quietly and headed towards the mountains they saw at the beginning.
Bathing in the morning sunshine, breathing in the scent of green grass in the fields, and watching the diligent farmers busy working in the fields.
Bai Miaoke felt that if she was not born into a wealthy family, but was just an ordinary citizen, it would be nice to make a living by farming and hunting, and sit in front of the house to bask in the sun in her spare time.
As soon as this pleasant thought appeared, it was broken by a scream from the village.
Bai Miaoke followed the direction of the sound and discovered that it came from the village where they had originally stayed.
She had a bad premonition in her heart, and turned around and headed towards the village.
After half a month of recuperation, her injuries had mostly healed. Her martial arts had also improved through her diligent practice in recent days. Now she used her Qinggong skills and reached the front in a few flashes.
She landed lightly on the branch of a big tree, using the leaves to hide her figure, and looked down.
In a small farmyard, three masked men in black stood, holding long swords and pointing them at a family of three in the yard.
Although the man was already shaking like a sieve, he still tried to stand in front of his wife and daughter, and said with a stiff upper lip: "My dears, we really didn't see the man you are talking about."
The masked man shook his head and was about to stab him with the sword. At the moment the man closed his eyes in fear, a stone hit the tip of the sword, and the masked man holding the sword was shocked.
They all looked up at Bai Miaoke on the tree.
Bai Miaoke responded with a cold face. She despised the kind of killer who would bully ordinary people the most.
She didn't expect that the kitchen knife she brought with her would come in handy so soon. She took out the kitchen knife from the basket on her back, jumped down from the tree, and landed lightly on the ground.
"Lady, lady, help me!"
"Stay away."
After saying that, he rushed forward without any unnecessary words, raised his sword, swung the sword with one hand to block the sword of the man in black, and kicked the other man in the chest with another flying kick.
Then a small crossbow arrow flew out from his sleeve. The man in black turned his head to avoid it. The crossbow arrow flew past his face, not only scratching his cheek, but also taking away the black cloth covering his face.
"Eagle Claw Gang?" Bai Miaoke recognized the eagle-like tattoo on the man's neck. Yueying Pavilion had been dealing with the Eagle Claw Gang for so long, she was more or less familiar with their logo.
Only the top killers in the Eagle Claw Gang are qualified to have the gang's flying eagle symbol tattooed on their faces.
The man raised his hand and wiped the blood from the cut on his face. He looked around but couldn't figure out Bai Miaoke's background. He said viciously, "Since your identity has been discovered, don't even think about leaving."
Hearing his arrogant words, Bai Miaoke wanted to laugh, because he did the thing that a killer hates most - speaking harshly.
According to Bai Miaoke's experience, if a killer makes threats before taking action, it means he is not far from death.
She swung the kitchen knife in her hand and slashed at the killer with tattoos on his face. Two men in black stepped forward to stop her.
Bai Miaoke reacted very quickly, dodging the sword attack from the left, then turned sideways and raised her leg to kick away the long knife on the right. As she moved, the kitchen knife was across the tattooed man's neck.
This man must have a high status in the Eagle Claw Gang. Seeing him being held hostage, the other two black-clad killers stopped their actions and just stared at Bai Miaoke with their swords.
Bai Miaoke held the back of his collar with one hand to make sure he couldn't move, and with the other hand she held the kitchen knife tightly against his neck.
"Don't come over here if you don't want him to die!" he then threatened.
The two masked men did not move or respond. The man held hostage by Bai Miaoke said gloomily, "Don't listen to her. Don't worry about me. Kill her!"
"Sir, you can't do that!" the two men advised.
Bai Miaoke noticed their address, Young Master? Could this person be...
Bai Miaoke twisted his head hard and took a closer look. He really looked 70% similar to the leader of the Eagle Claw Gang.
She was so happy: They are the young leaders! They are going to get rich!
His face was as cold as ice as he gave the order: "Let them end their lives, or I will kill you now."
As soon as these words were spoken, the man in her hand began to resist violently, but was knocked unconscious by Bai Miaoke's hand knife and was held limply in her hand.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the other two people. She was bright and charming, but her words were like poison: "I will only kill one of you. The other one will go back and pass on the message. I believe your leader will be willing to pay a high price to redeem you."
The two masked men looked at each other, frozen in place and did not take any action.
Bai Miaoke impatiently threw a crossbow arrow out, and the arrow pierced the man in black's throat. He fell down. He was the one who was about to use a sword to kill the family of three at the beginning.
The remaining man watched his master being captured and his brother being killed, and was staring at Bai Miaoke with bloodshot eyes.
The culprit chatted with him as if nothing had happened: "Did Ma Hongzhe send you here? How much money did he pay you?"
The man in black gritted his teeth and didn't answer. Bai Miaoke didn't care and continued:
"Go back and tell your leader to prepare five thousand taels of gold and send it to Xiao Heng of Lanyue Tower. Also, give him a message for me."
"Just tell him to send someone to Jiangnan Gusu to find me."
Looking at the widened pupils of the man in black, he seemed to be angry because she was from Yueying Pavilion.
Bai Miaoke smiled and continued to threaten: "These words can only be said to your leader. If even a little bit of it is leaked out, he will have to wait for his only son to collect his body."
After that, he picked up the fainted young leader and prepared to leave. When he reached the gate, he remembered something and turned around and said, "Oh, and also, withdraw your people, if I see them again."
"Kill you all!" The girl said these vicious words with the most innocent expression.
After saying this, he walked away.
Now that things have come to this, hunting will have to be put on hold for the time being.
Bai Miaoke had to take the man back and lock him up first, as this cost five thousand taels.
So a few people who got up early to do farm work saw a slender girl carrying a strong man walking on the road. Not only were their steps brisk, but they also looked in a good mood. This scene was indescribably strange.
Fortunately, Bai Miaoke quickly turned into an empty path and took a shortcut back home.
Coming in from the back door: "I'm back!"
"Husband? Xiao Feng Xiao Yu?"
The house and the yard were all quiet.
Bai Miaoke panicked and threw the person on her shoulders to the ground. She walked around the house and checked all the courtyards in just a few steps.
Empty.
Bai Miaoke took a deep breath and found no signs of fighting in the yard, exactly the same as when she left in the morning.
Except...the tables and chairs used for setting up the stall yesterday and the painting tools are missing!
Lu Yu actually took the initiative to set up a stall. Bai Miaoke found it unbelievable because he was very resistant two days ago.
After knowing that the person was fine, Bai Miaoke relaxed and thought of the young leader of the Eagle Claw Gang who she had thrown on the ground.
When I turned around, I saw that he was awake, but because his hands and feet were tied, he could only move on the ground and tried hard to stand up.
Bai Miaoke kindly helped the man up and asked, "What's your name?"
The man clenched his teeth and looked like he refused to communicate.
"Tsk, if you don't tell me I'll get it for you myself."
"Let me think about it. Your father's last name is Cai, so why not call you Cai Gou?"
Seeing the man's angry eyes and his red face due to anger, Bai Miaoke was in a good mood. She laughed and locked the man into an empty room.
He tied the man up with chains again, but still seemed unsure, so he added two heavy iron padlocks to the door before he felt relieved.
This is five thousand taels of gold. We can’t let him run away.
Looking up at the sun, it was almost noon. Bai Miaoke slapped her head and went back into the kitchen.
The kitchen was stocked with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and there were a few pieces of pork hanging on the wall. Bai Miaoke cooked several meals in the past few days, but was not very satisfied.
She was alone at home today, and with nothing to do, she felt like cooking again.
I quickly prepared and cut the pork and vegetables. The next step was to try to make a fire. However, the firewood was a little damp, so the fire didn't start, but a lot of smoke came out.
The first thing Lu Yu saw when he brought the two siblings back was the kitchen filled with smoke, and he could vaguely hear Bai Miaoke coughing.
Lu Yu, who was calm and composed the previous second, rushed to the kitchen the next second, without even noticing that he had touched his wound.
Seeing Bai Miaoke, who was covered in dirt but intact, he breathed a sigh of relief, "My dear, I'll do the cooking from now on."
Bai Miaoke smiled and hooked her finger, motioning him to come closer.
Lu Yu moved closer to her, thinking she had something to say.
He was caught off guard when a pair of evil little black hands reached out and wiped his face, and three lines instantly appeared on that fair and cold face.
Bai Miaoke ran away with a giggle. Lu Yu looked at her lovingly and followed her into the backyard.
The two of them were laughing and joking together, and the atmosphere was gradually becoming ambiguous.
An inopportune shouting sound came from an empty room in the backyard.
"Let me out! Woman, let me out!"
Bai Miaoke clicked her tongue impatiently. If it wasn't for the five thousand taels, she would have picked up a knife and killed this annoying loser!
Lu Yu also heard the noise in the wing room. He frowned silently and looked at Bai Miaoke who looked unhappy, wondering why there was suddenly a locked-up man in the house.
Thinking of this, he walked towards the door of the room, still holding Bai Miaoke's hand. Bai Miaoke pursed her lips and wanted to explain this man's origins, but before she could open her mouth, she saw the man had already pushed open the door.
Cai Gou's coat was torn in the room, his hands were tied with hemp ropes, his hair was messy, the corners of his eyes and mouth were red and swollen, and his belt was missing.
Bai Miaoke didn't know how he could make her like this in such a short time, and then she heard Lu Yu beside her ask:
"Who is he?" There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.
