"You, you have been chasing me and asked me to let him go? Just leave me now! If you leave, I will let him go!"
The thief was obviously panicked. His voice was trembling when he spoke, and Su Liuye could even feel his body tightening.
It's just that the opponent's hand was too strong, and she couldn't break free at all. If she took the risk of struggling, she was afraid that the knife in the opponent's hand would stab her.
"You stole our young master's things, and now you want me not to chase you?" The book boy seemed to have heard something shocked, and glared angrily, "Hurry up and return the things, and then let the lady go. , otherwise I won’t be able to save you when the government official comes.”
"you……"
The thief looked troubled and seemed to be relaxed.
He has been chased for so long, and it is almost impossible to escape. If he hands over his things at this time, maybe——
Just when he had this idea, a strong wind suddenly came from behind him. Before he could react, he felt a dull pain in his neck, his vision suddenly went dark, and he fainted to the ground.
Su Liuye didn't react at all and was dragged to the ground by the thief.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong hands supported her. Su Liuye turned around and saw a handsome face approaching her.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
The man in front of me spoke, and his voice was as clear as jade beads falling to the ground, with a cold tone.
Being so close, Su Liuye could even smell the cold breath on the other party's body, wrapped in the cold air of snow.
"I'm fine."
Su Liuye came back to her senses and was about to speak, but found that her palms were sticky. When she lowered her head, she saw blood oozing out of the man's hands.
Su Liuye was startled, "Master, you are injured!"
The man lowered his head and saw the wound on his hand.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" The book boy walked over quickly. When he saw the wound, his face changed with fear. "Sir, your hand is injured. What should you do? I'll go and see the doctor now!"
"What kind of doctor are you looking for? Have you forgotten? We just came from the medicine shop. All the doctors there have gone to see the doctor, and there are only a few apprentices left." The man scolded, "Those apprentices can't tell at a glance that they are not good at all." I know how to see a doctor, but if you ask me to see a doctor, the worse it gets!"
"Then, what should we do? Master, don't let anything happen to your hands!"
The book boy was so anxious that he almost cried.
Su Liuye saw that his wound should have been scratched by the knife in the thief's hand, and it was not very deep. She immediately said, "Sir, if you don't mind, come with me and I will help you bandage the wound." Bar."
"Really, then I'll trouble this lady."
The man did not refuse and immediately agreed.
He took back the stolen wallet from the thief and lowered his eyes with a majestic chill on his face. "Next time, don't steal everything. Some things will put your life in danger."
The thief had not fainted completely. Just as he was about to wake up, he heard the man's words. His body suddenly trembled and he continued to lie on the ground and pretended to be dead.
Su Liuye looked up and found that the snow on the wall had been rubbed off. If he guessed correctly, the man must have jumped off the wall.
The wall is taller than a person. He can jump on it, which seems to be an extraordinary skill.
Su Liuye took them back to the house. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Uncle Zhou. After explaining the situation to Uncle Zhou, she immediately brought a medicine box from the house to help the man stop the bleeding from the wound.
Seeing that it was snowing again outside, Su Liuye just asked the man to rest in the house, and she went over to bring hot soup and food.
"Thank you very much for saving me just now."
"Madam, you're welcome. That thief stole my things, and I chased him all the way. If not for this, the thief wouldn't have held Madam hostage."
The man smiled slightly, looked at the yard, and suddenly said, "Madam, I see your yard is so big, are there anyone living in the backyard?"
"Over there?" Su Liuye looked in the direction he said. There were indeed many empty houses in the backyard, which she had seen that day.
She asked Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Zhou said that because Xiao Yun did not live in this house and no one came in and out on weekdays, the houses in the backyard were basically idle.
"No one lives there, sir, what can I do for you?"
"Yes." The man did not refute, and said cheerfully, "Madam, it's like this. I just came to the capital recently, but I don't know if it's because the New Year is approaching. Most of the restaurants in the city are full of guests, and only a few Some of them are still vacant, but those rooms are very expensive.”
"If you don't mind, I would like to rent a room in your house. The price is slightly higher than that of a restaurant outside, but I can accept it."
The man cupped his hand, his beautiful almond eyes filled with sincerity.
Su Liuye looked a little dazed, and then she realized that the man's eyes were very beautiful, more beautiful than the woman's, and his skin was also very fair, giving him a somewhat male-female look.
She moved her eyes downward and saw the Adam's apple on the man's neck. She gave up her thoughts and thought that the man in front of her was a woman disguised as a man.
"Rent you a room?" She was stunned for a moment, "Then wait a moment, I want to go over and ask the housekeeper."
"Okay, I'm really in trouble, ma'am."
He cupped his hands and watched Su Liuye leave.
After a while, Uncle Zhou came over with Su Liuye. After seeing the person who wanted to rent a house, Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Madam just told me that there are guests in the hall who want to rent the house for a few days. This young master does not need to You are so polite, if the young master really wants to stay for a few days, you can pledge one of your belongings to me, and I will return the token to you on the day you leave, and there is no need to charge any money."
"fair enough!"
The man almost agreed immediately. He stood up and took out a fine jade pendant from his wallet and handed it to Uncle Zhou. "Uncle, what do you think of this jade pendant?"
Seeing this, Uncle Zhou quickly reached out and took it. After taking a closer look, he said with surprise on his face, "Sir, this jade pendant of yours is expensive at first glance. Why don't you exchange it for the same one."
"No, uncle, just this jade pendant. I'm going to bother you again in the next period of time. I hope you can forgive me."
As he spoke, he bowed his hands.
Uncle Zhou quickly helped him up, "Young Master, you are so polite, may I ask what your name is?"
The man was silent for a moment and said, "My surname is Chu, and I am the third in the family. Uncle, madam, you can just call me Chu San."
"Chu San?"
Su Liuye quickly smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Chu, since Uncle Zhou asked you to stay, I will take you to the wing to rest first."
"Madam, it's better for me to go."
Uncle Zhou handed the jade pendant to her, "Madam, just help me take this jade pendant to the warehouse."
