Chapter 238 No tacit understanding will end
The dark shadow approached quickly like a ghost.
When Gu Xixi turned around, she saw a big hand coming towards her face.
The sudden feeling of oppression made her heart tighten and her brain had no time to react.
At the critical moment, she heard He Jinglan shouting, "Xixi, lie down!!"
As soon as his consciousness received the signal, Gu Xixi took action without thinking.
She leaned back, her whole body relaxed.
Gu Xixi fell to the ground and the black shadow missed its target.
A sharp, hard object whizzed through the air and brushed past the black-clothed man's ear.
Everything happened at the same time in an instant.
The man in black didn't know what hit him yet. While standing firmly on his feet, he had to dodge the original angle and then look sideways towards the door.
The stone hit the windowsill of the main room and fell to the ground with a clang.
When Gu Xixi landed, she quickly rolled several times towards her house, trying to keep as much distance as possible from danger.
At this moment, while the man in black turned around, she stood up and ran into the house.
There was no time to think about how this black-clad killer broke in, or what Master Liu's men and the He family's shadow guards were doing.
Gu Xixi only knew that the man outside was a professional killer, and was by no means comparable to the ordinary Beili soldiers and bandits who broke into the village that she had dealt with before.
Considering that once we fall into this person's hands, there will be no way to escape.
Gu Xixi didn't want to gamble on her chances of winning in a head-on confrontation, so she could only run away and quickly get her backpack.
The man in black immediately tried to chase Gu Xixi, but then he threw several stones at him.
The man in black dodged nimbly and looked towards the door fiercely.
Shitou held up an iron slingshot, and although he was a little scared, he still shouted:
"This slingshot of mine is a real weapon made by people from the Western Regions! It's very powerful!"
"I just gave you a warning and advised you not to act rashly."
"If you dare to take another step, I will aim at your head next time. It's easy to make a bloody hole at this distance!"
The man in black turned his head and looked at the room where Gu Xixi was.
He actually turned around and walked towards the gate.
Because he felt that a little girl running back into the house would only mean hiding for a little longer.
I might as well deal with the two troublesome people outside the door first.
Especially the eldest daughter of the He family, he was ordered to take away two hostages this time, and it didn't matter which one he captured first.
Shi Tou stood in front of He Jinglan and took out pebbles from his pocket and shot with all his might.
However, the man in black simply swung his weapon a few times, without even drawing his sword from its scabbard, and easily deflected all the stones.
He was not wearing a mask and was approaching with a gloomy face.
He Jinglan naturally understood the killer's intention, but she couldn't run away now. She had to help Gu Xixi delay time.
"Wait!" He Jinglan suddenly spoke.
"There are many people in the village. You who are afraid of being in the dark, aren't you afraid that I will shout loudly and call everyone over?"
The man in black frowned, but was still in the mood to talk, "Miss He, you can try this."
"The outcome is nothing more than I take two people away silently, or I take two people away and massacre the entire village at the same time."
His companions were delaying all the shadow guards in the village in several other places, including those guarding near this courtyard, and they were also lured away.
He sneaked in alone, temporarily unnoticed, and naturally did not take the weak woman and child in front of him seriously.
"Massacre the whole village?" He Jinglan's face was grim. "The master behind you is really vicious!"
"What do they regard human life as?"
The man in black laughed, "They are just ants."
"Compared to them, the lives of Miss He and the mistress of this house are much more valuable."
No matter how leisurely he was, he would not forget that he still had a mission to accomplish, so he walked forward again.
He Jinglan saw that a corner of the door curtain of Gu Xixi's room was lifted.
In order to avoid being noticed by the man in black, she quickly thought of a way and shouted, "Why are you wearing all black?"
The man in black was confused.
He Jinglan continued, "You guys don't stand out when you do bad things at night wearing black clothes, but now it's broad daylight, wouldn't it be more conspicuous for you to run around in black?"
Shitou followed suit, "That's right! He's so stupid to be afraid that others don't know he's going to do something bad."
As he said this he made an exaggerated, contemptuous face.
Gu Xixi was walking towards them in quick steps and was almost in the middle of the yard.
He Jinglan chuckled a few times, "Hey, I might as well write you a wooden sign that says I'm a killer's lackey and hang it on your chest. It will definitely suit you."
The men in black felt clearly insulted, provoked and despised.
He was furious, and the veins on his forehead shrank violently. "You dare to tease me when you are about to die!"
The man in black fiercely drew out his long knife. "I'll kill this brat first and then catch him!"
He Jinglan suddenly pointed behind the man in black and shouted, "Xixi! Kill this bad guy quickly!!!"
The man in black also sensed the presence of a stranger approaching from behind him, and turned around without thinking too much.
He Jinglan took advantage of the opportunity and ran away grabbing the stone.
call!
Gu Xixi blew hard at the man in black, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeves and backing away quickly.
The man in black only saw a yellow mist rising in front of him.
He realized something was wrong and it was too late when he tried to hold his breath.
He raised the knife fiercely and was about to swing it forward, but before he could lift the knife, he vomited a large amount of blood.
The man in black was still trying to struggle and pounce on Gu Xixi, but suddenly, he felt as if someone stabbed him in the abdomen. He trembled with pain and could no longer hold the knife in his hand, which fell to the ground with a clang.
His whole body was no longer under his control and he fell to his knees on the ground.
At this time, Gu Xixi was standing under the eaves.
The man in black raised his head with his last bit of strength. His vision was blurred and he could no longer see Gu Xixi's face.
"You...you...actually..."
"Antidote, give me the antidote..."
Gu Xixi looked at him calmly, "This is my best poison, very expensive. I'm wasting so much for you."
"If I give you the antidote again, wouldn't I be at a big loss?"
Although she made two doses of the antidote, they were for her own use in case someone accidentally came into contact with it.
The man in black's voice trembled with pain, "As long as I survive, I will give you... give you everything I have!"
Gu Xixi smiled.
"You'd better go without worrying about it. This medicine is very strong."
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the man in black shook, tilted his head and died.
Outside the courtyard, He Jinglan was pulling a stone and waiting with his back against the wall.
Shitou listened attentively, "Why is there no movement? Could Sister Xixi be arrested?"
"I'd better go and take a look!"
He Jinglan held onto Shitou tightly, not letting him run away. "Don't go. It's a good thing that you can't hear any noise now."
Shitou was puzzled, "Why can't good things pass?"
"And just now, why did we run?"
The naive little Shitou had never seen the hidden strength of his sister Xixi.
He frowned and said, "Sister Jinglan, you are not afraid to leave Sister Xixi alone, are you?"
He Jinglan was so angry that she knocked her head against the stone. "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
