It was already dark when he returned to the house. The first thing Ruan Xianbei did was to ask someone to fetch water for him to take a bath. She took off her blood-smelling clothes with some disgust and kept them aside. She soaked in the tub and wiped her body. She took the rose soap given by Mingxiang and carefully washed her arms and legs. She accidentally knocked over the wound mouth. There was a constant intake of air-conditioning.
pain! My whole body hurts! The blow to the chest from Ba Jiu was the most painful!
She had no breasts to begin with, but the good guy was almost dented by him. It looked like the internal injuries were bruised. Damn it.
However, many wounds have stopped bleeding without treatment.
She stared at her body for a long time, looking at it from top to bottom. Except for a deep wound on her arm, everything else was almost healed.
Is it good so fast? Was it like this before? She thought about it and it seemed like she hadn't paid much attention to it. It was really distressing to be gifted.
She felt the warm water enveloping her body, and gestured with the horizontal and vertical sword techniques in her hands. She saw that her thin arms and legs lacked strength in her wrists, so she probably needed to practice more.
Cui Lin fainted all the way back to the house. When she woke up again, she saw a familiar scene. She was lying on the bed and even changed her clothes. Cui Lin sat up and subconsciously called Mingxiang's name. After shouting, he thought that Ming Xiang still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and his expression became sad again.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Cui Lin didn't expect that Ming Xiang would appear in front of her safe and sound. Although his eyes were red and he looked like he had cried a lot, it was good that he was fine.
"Where's my cousin?" she asked.
"My cousin is taking a shower. She said she wanted to take a longer bath." Mingxiang held her hand and hesitated, "My cousin told me everything."
It was really too much to talk about Mingyue and Mr. Zhao.
"Yeah." Cui Lin knew what she wanted to say, but they both agreed not to mention it again. She leaned on Ming Xiang's shoulder, smelling the reassuring scent of sandalwood in the room, and felt that today was a long day.
"Miss, are you hungry? Why don't you eat something first." I was supposed to have a vegetarian meal at Yuantong Temple before coming back, but now most of the day has passed without eating, and it's already dark.
"good."
Cui Lin sat at the table and ate tastelessly. Ruan Xianbei came in after taking a shower.
After taking a bath, Ruan Xianbei felt a lot more relaxed. Taking a bath is really a beautiful thing in life! It will be even more beautiful if you have a full meal.
She glanced at the dining table, which contained stir-fried cabbage, steamed eggs, a few side dishes and plain porridge. Cui Lin almost had the word "no appetite" written on her face.
She looked at the meal, which was a bit too light and healthy, and said, "Cousin? Are you going to eat this? Mingxiang asked the kitchen to make some home-cooked dishes like stir-fried pork and roasted pork with potatoes. I'm starving to death."
Mingxiang also advised Cui Lin to eat more, but Cui Lin said there was nothing she could do if she had no appetite. Now that Ruan Xianbei came to speak, she hurriedly gave the order.
Ruan Xianbei sat down unceremoniously and asked Cui Lin to eat more. Cui Lin asked her with a sleepy look, "How did I come back?"
So Ruan Xianbei told her what happened after she fainted.
Of course, the whole thing was only said to be an invasion by thieves. Tongchun had already sealed off this area in advance and told others not to come. Only some monks were guarding here.
After the incident was over, the outstanding monks of Yuantong Temple quickly cleaned up the scene and took him to the back mountain to bury him.
Bury people by burying people, splash water by splashing water, and wash the ground by washing the ground.
There was nothing to say or ask during this period. Ruan Xianbei, who had a clear division of labor and read quickly and efficiently, was dumbfounded.
"Have you practiced this?"
Looks too skilled? !
Tongchun smiled and shook his head, "Buddha said: Don't say it."
Ming Xiang, who was stunned by Mingyue, was found in the woodshed. The reason why Mingyue's operation went too smoothly was probably because Tongchun had cleaned up the area and people were afraid of accidentally injuring innocent people.
Fortunately, as Ming Yue explained, Xiang was just stunned by her and it was not a big deal. Of course it would not work to walk out like this, so he woke up.
Mingxiang quickly devoted himself to his position. Ruan Xianbei asked Ming Xiang to drive the carriage to another road. She went down the mountain from somewhere else and carried Cui Lin into the carriage. Ming Xiang stayed with Cui Lin in the carriage until they came back together.
Omitting some of the red and colorful processes, Cui Lin couldn't eat any more when she looked at the white porridge in the bowl.
The kitchen quickly cooked up several plates of home-cooked dishes and brought them over. Stir-fried pork with potatoes, green peppers, and a bowl of fish in sour soup all smelled very appetizing. Ruan Xianbei gave her a chopstick of meat and whispered: "Cousin, how many We’re not done eating yet.”
"What?!" Cui Lin shook her chopsticks and almost dropped them to the ground, but Ruan Xianbei's mouth was already full.
"Cousin, I'm hungry." Ruan Xianbei stared aggrievedly. She was really hungry. She wolfed down a bowl of rice and wiped her mouth before saying, "That's what it means literally."
She put another piece of pickled fish into Cui Lin's bowl, "Cousin, you can't faint again while eating."
Cui Lin took down the porridge, forced herself to eat less than half a bowl of rice, and drank a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup before her complexion improved a lot. However, Ruan Xianbei only spoke half of his words, which made her heart hang in the air.
Seeing her staring at him, Ruan Xianbei said, "Oh, I can't say it now." She turned around and asked Mingxiang, "Has Mingxiang eaten? Have you eaten? Come here then."
Mingxiang was a little nervous about saving his life today, but how could they be so squeamish as servants? If the sky fell, she would still have to stand in front of the young lady. She was also very scared when she saw the pools of blood and Ruan Xianbei who was covered in blood today, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Miss Cousin."
"You've finished eating. Please take away the dishes. Go and pack the packages for the lady and you. We're getting ready to leave."
Mingxiang didn't dare to ask any more questions. She was just a maid and could do as she was told.
Miyou appeared at the door and said, "Saint."
Miyou's appearance startled Mingsi outside, and she almost screamed.
"Miss, there is, there is a man." Mingsi stammered.
They were all frightened when Miss Today was brought back, but it was Mingxiang Mingyue who went out, and only Mingxiang came back. The atmosphere was also very strange. The people below were all guessing what happened, and they were panicking.
"Come in." After Ruan Xianbei said this, he looked at Cui Lin. Oops, she forgot that this was Cui Lin's room.
"Mingsi, it's okay." Cui Lin shook her head and said it was okay. Now her life is almost at stake. Do you still care about those who have some and those who don't? Besides, he is already in the inner courtyard. Cui Lin thought of something and said, "Mingsi, go and get him." Uncle Wang, please call me over."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mi You came in, looked at Ruan Xianbei, shook his head and said, "It's too late."
Miyou had been listening to Ruan Xianbei's arrangements and stayed in the general situation without showing up. Firstly, he was on guard against others going up the mountain again, and secondly, he was afraid that those people would attack ordinary people.
Cui Lin turned her head to look at Ruan Xianbei in confusion. Ruan Xianbei explained: "How can those people give themselves a clue when they act? When Mingyue and the others left, they had already arranged for someone to wait for them. Originally, they asked Mi You to finish. We’ll see if we can save them later, but it’s still a step too late.”
"Is that so?" Cui Lin lowered her eyes after hearing this, not knowing what else to think.
Mi You mouthed silently to Ruan Xianbei, "He died miserably."
Ruan Xianbei curled his lips, it was his own fault. There were so many roads before them, so who could blame them if they had to choose to cooperate with those people?
Before Ruan Xianbei could comfort Cui Lin, he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Forget it, master and servant have done their best, thank you."
"Cousin, I'm curious about something. Do you like Mr. Zhao?"
Cui Lin was stunned and didn't expect that she would ask so directly. Just as she was about to answer, Ming Si arrived with Butler Wang. Steward Wang has been a member of the Cui family since his father's generation. When he came here, he was promoted to steward by Cui Lin's mother because of his steady and appropriate manners in dealing with people. It can be said that he is an old man who is loyal to the Cui family and even Cui Lin will respect him. He called him Uncle Wang.
"Let's talk about business first." Ruan Xianbei said, gossip and all that.
Listen again when you have time.
Butler Wang entered the door and saluted respectfully: "Miss."
Butler Wang didn't seem at all surprised to be called in front of Cui Lin at this time.
"Uncle Wang, father should have told you something before he left, right?"
"Yes." Butler Wang said: "The master said that he had a narrow escape from death during this trip. Since the master left, I have slowly dismissed many servants. Now there is no one in the mansion. The ones who remain are those who have been in the mansion for generations. I don’t want to leave when I grow up.”
"Everyone will fight to the death to protect the eldest lady."
Butler Wang said with determination on his face, and Cui Lin's eyes couldn't help but turn red. How should the Cui family repay her for being such a loyal servant?
Cui Lin said: "Uncle Wang, if...if we can still meet each other alive, I will definitely help you fulfill one of your wishes."
Seeing that the topic had strayed, Ruan Xianbei quickly pulled it back and said, "Uncle Wang, there is no need to fight to the death, we still have reinforcements. When they come in, everyone just needs to save their lives. Lord Cui said that life in this courtyard is not important."
"Do we have reinforcements?"
Ruan Xianbei hummed, "The other party doesn't dare to show their face and attack us as thieves, then we will kill all these thieves. Uncle Wang, go and do your work, tell everyone not to panic, remember safety first and don't risk your life." "
"Yes." Butler Wang looked at Cui Lin, and Cui Lin nodded before retreating.
It didn't take long, and Miyou soon reported back and forth: "Holy girl, they have taken action."
During the day, a mob broke down the door of Cui's house and alarmed the neighbors. The man yelled at Cui Pin at the door for bullying others and taking human life. Miss Cui was arrogant and domineering and killed people at will. His family was destroyed by the Cui family and he was the only one who survived. Waiting for the dog officer to die!
This street has long been under control, and there are not many people near Cui Mansion. Seeing that there are some bad situations in Cui Mansion during this period, those who have other courtyards have moved to other courtyards.
And that person thought that this matter was done by everyone who knew about it, but he didn't expect that no one else knew about it except him, and everything that needed to be known was known.
News that Cui Lin was attacked at Yuantong Temple that day quickly came back. Everyone was waiting and watching, and everyone was holding back.
There was only one person riding a horse and coming towards Cui Mansion with a group of soldiers.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found that under the wheel
There was a wooden stick with a sharpened top on it, two meters long, thick at the handle and getting thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
