Scenes of the past flashed through Lin Jinyan's mind, and the hatred in her heart made her want to kill Chu Chengyao.
Slowly returning to reason, Lin Jinyan felt that she was too immature. How could she achieve great things with such a mind? She still needed to hone her character.
With a long sigh, Lin Jinyan looked around. This should be the back hill of Fanyin Temple. There were insects singing, birds singing, unknown wild flowers, and a natural scenery. She suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart and prepared to get up and go back to Bai Zhi.
Suddenly, Lin Jinyan noticed something moving near her feet. When she looked sideways, she froze and did not dare to move.
A yellow and black snake was swimming near her feet. Lin Jinyan held her breath because she was afraid of goosebumps that were visible to the naked eye. She supported the stone with her hands and slowly moved her upper body, trying to move aside.
Because she was too nervous and couldn't hold her hands, Lin Jinyan fell down but didn't dare to move her legs.
The movement disturbed the snake at its feet. It straightened up its upper body, spat out a message towards Lin Jinyan, and bent its neck back to bite Lin Jinyan.
Lin Jinyan's heart jumped into her throat, and cold sweat slid down her temples. When Bai Zhi came back from looking for water and saw this scene, she shouted sternly: "Miss, be careful!"
At the critical moment, a flying knife hit the snake's head, and the snake and knife were nailed to a tree not far away.
Bai Zhi threw away the banana leaf filled with water and rushed over, pulling Lin Jinyan up and down to look her up and down: "Has the lady been bitten?"
Lin Jinyan, who was still in shock, came to her senses and comforted Bai Zhi: "Don't be afraid, I'm fine, I wasn't bitten."
As they were talking, a woman in elegant green clothes walked straight to the tree. The snake was nailed to the tree and was still twisting. The woman took out the soft sword from her waist and waved it. Lin Jinyan didn't see any movement. , the snake's head and body were separated. The woman swung the sword in disgust, wiped the blade with a handkerchief, and then inserted the soft sword back into her black girdle.
He lowered his head and found a wooden stick to press on the snake's head, pulled out the throwing knife, frowned and wiped the throwing knife with a handkerchief.
Lin Jinyan took a few steps forward and saw that the flying knife in the woman's hand looked like a diamond as a whole, except that the blade end was sharp and longer, and the other three corners were oval. There was some pattern engraved on the top of the handle. Can't see clearly if covered up.
When the woman saw the master and servant walking forward, she glanced at them sideways with a blank expression, then turned her head and wiped the throwing knife in her hand. She looked arrogant and difficult to get along with.
Lin Jinyan bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Heroine, for saving my life."
After wiping the flying knife, the woman put it back on her waist. Without looking at Lin Jinyan, she said in a cold voice: "With a little effort, I'll take my leave."
Lin Jinyan took a step forward: "Hold on, Heroine. I hope that Heroine will tell me her name, so that I can express my gratitude to Heroine for her great kindness."
"Thanks are not worth money, so what can I do if I know?"
Lin Jinyan took out fifty taels of silver notes from her sleeves and handed them to the woman with a smile.
"I only have these banknotes with me. The heroine will keep them first."
The woman turned around and looked down at the number, looking down at Lin Jinyan.
"Where did you, a little kid, get all this silver? If you gave it to me, wouldn't you be scolded when you go home?"
Lin Jinyan looked up at the woman and smiled: "How can I repay the favor of saving my life with a silver tael? If the heroine needs it, she can just use it."
The woman took the banknote and put it in her arms: "Then I'll take it. If you get scolded when you go home, you can't rely on me."
After saying that, he turned around and used Qing Kung to walk away without giving Lin Jinyan any chance to regret.
