Xie Wanyu covered the little girl's eyes and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, big brother will help your parents."
The little girl stopped crying and was just sobbing slowly.
Xie Wanyu never encountered such a posture, but the couple made no move despite such a loud voice, so it was probably already in danger.
The hand covering the little girl's eyes gradually trembled. This was the first time in her two lives that Xie Wanyu encountered such a brutal fight.
Seeing the streaks of blood splattered on the snow-white wall, Xie Wanyu resisted the churning in her stomach.
Tai Shuyi was holding a sharp sword, with a few drops of blood on his fair cheeks, and a sharp killing intent on his perfect handsome face, like an evil ghost from hell, without any mercy.
He stood in front of Xie Wanyu, preventing the assassins from getting close to the two of them.
When the last one was killed, Tai Shuqi stopped and said in a cold voice, "The speaker will never die."
Unexpectedly, the assassin was also a tough guy and actually committed suicide by taking poison.
There was not much surprise on Tai Shuqi's face, but he opened the masks of those people. There were thunderous sounds outside, mixed with the strong smell of blood, which made Xie Wanyu unable to help but retching.
Only then did Tai Shuyi notice her discomfort. He hurriedly walked to her side, stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm, "Are you okay?"
The handsome face that suddenly came closer made Xie Wanyu no longer able to feel his beauty, and instead took a step back in fear.
The light in Tai Shuqi's eyes dimmed, and he took a step back. "It's okay. It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the room.
Xie Wanyu calmed down, covered the little girl's eyes with one hand, grabbed her arm with the other, and led her out of the room. When she passed the corpses, Xie Wanyu felt that her legs and feet were trembling.
The room faced the kitchen, and the fire was still burning under the stove in the kitchen. The steamed buns in the basket exuded an attractive aroma. No cook would leave the kitchen in the middle of cooking.
Tai Shuqi paused, looked at the cauldron strangely, and narrowed his eyes.
Xie Wanyu seemed to feel something, and she no longer had the strength to cover the little girl's eyes. She turned around and vomited out all the delicious food she had just eaten.
"Big brother." The little girl looked at Tai Shuqi, and then followed Tai Shuqi's gaze to the big pot. She quickly ran forward and lifted a gap in the heavy pot lid.
The hostess's taupe dress was exposed.
The little girl opened her mouth wide, but no sound came out, and she fainted in the next second.
Tai Shuqi picked up the little girl and walked to Xie Wanyu without changing his expression, "How's it going? If nothing happens, leave quickly."
Xie Wanyu was already a little exhausted from vomiting.
But he also knew that he could only wait for death here, so he hurriedly followed Tai Shuqi's footsteps into the heavy rain.
Both the horse and the driver were dead, so Xie Wanyu could only follow Tai Shuqi into the woods, because the more obstacles there were, the easier it would be to avoid being pursued.
The rain in the forest can be lighter than outside, after all, it is blocked by leaves.
Tai Shuqi walked very fast, and it was Xie Wanyu's first time walking in the forest. The bumpy ground made her fall down several times, and then she got up awkwardly.
The heavy cloak became even heavier under the rain, and every step she took was particularly difficult.
Especially when I think of the cauldron, I didn't expect these assassins to be so cruel. Not only did they kill the couple, they even threw them into the cauldron.
Xie Wanyu was thinking wildly and didn't notice that the person in front of her had stopped.
She bumped into his back.
Tai Shuqi turned around and saw Xie Wanyu's little face was pale, and he couldn't help but feel compassion in his heart, "It's okay, it's all over."
Xie Wanyu pursed her lips and nodded with great difficulty, "Yes, I know."
She looked up and saw a towering tree in front of her, with protruding roots like a house half a person tall.
Tai Shuqi drove away a wild boar in the tree hole, and then walked in with Xie Wanyu and the little girl. There were some weeds in the tree hole, but it was dry and clean.
The little girl was still in a fainted state, so Tai Shuqi did not wake her up.
"I'll go out to find some dry firewood." Tai Shuqi said when he saw that Xie Wanyu's clothes were soaked and she was shivering from the cold.
Although Xie Wanyu was shivering from the cold, she still held him back, "If we light a fire, we will be exposed."
Tai Shuqi's eyes showed surprise, "You actually understand this?"
"Although I have never experienced this, I have seen it in my painting books." Thinking about it now, Xie Wanyu said it was thanks to her frequent reading of miscellaneous books to pass the time.
"Don't worry, I have my own way." Taishu Ai Xu Shi saw that Xie Wanyu was afraid of him, so he always spoke softly.
Xie Wanyu watched his resolute back disappear into the jungle, covering her soaked shoulders and burying her head in her arms. Too many things happened today, which made her heart beat much faster.
She had never encountered this kind of thing in her previous life, but she also knew that her identity was not enough for someone to find a dead man to kill her. Even if those people in the house wanted to kill her, they would never be able to do so. If he was a dead soldier, then there was only one possibility. This group of people was recruited by Tai Shuqi and came to kill him.
Given his status, his enemies are definitely not simple characters.
Xie Wanyu tried her best to adapt to the current situation. She knew that as long as she followed Taishu Ai and was sent back to Panyun Mountain by him, she would be safe.
At the same time, she also felt a little regretful, feeling that she should not have treated Tai Shuyi like that just now.
He killed to survive, so what's wrong? If he didn't do it, he would have been killed. Besides, he was still protecting them.
After smoothing these things out, Xie Wanyu's breathing became calmer.
Having been born in two lifetimes, her ability to accept things is quite good.
At this time, the little girl's body moved, and then she opened her eyes. Xie Wanyu immediately hugged her into her arms, "Be good, it's okay, it's okay."
The little girl looked at the dark tree hole and then at the unfamiliar Xie Wanyu. She seemed to realize her situation, and then cried loudly.
She cried very sadly, and her tears were no smaller than the raindrops outside.
After crying for a long time, she said, "Lan'er has no parents anymore."
Hearing what she said, Xie Wanyu couldn't bear it. She patted her shoulders and coaxed her softly, "My parents have gone to the sky. They don't have to chop wood or cook in the sky. They will turn into stars and watch them every night." Lan'er, as long as Lan'er behaves, they will be happy."
Just like before, she coaxed the young Xiao Mingxuan to sleep with her usual story.
It's just that Lan'er is much older than Xiao Mingxuan. She is now thirteen or fourteen years old and understands many things. Although she knows that Xie Wanyu is lying to her, she still nodded.
When Lan'er's mood calmed down a bit, Tai Shuqi came back. He came back holding some carbon in leaves and put it in the tree hole.
