Si Ning closed his eyes and listened to the sound. He didn't get up until the footsteps approached.
That figure originally thought that Si Ning was already asleep, but he didn't want to meet the other side.
The lights in the room turned on at this moment, and Si Ning spoke slowly.
"Auntie, you're up late at night. Do you want to catch up with me?"
The owner of this figure is none other than the person who took in Si Ning during the day.
When the woman saw that Si Ning was neatly dressed and there was no sleep in his eyes, her heart tightened and she smiled awkwardly.
"It's a cold night, and I was worried that my wife was weak, so I came in to take a look."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Si Ning's voice sounded again.
"Oh, really, my aunt has a very special way of caring for people. Why don't you bring a knife to see her?"
"you wanna die!"
The woman suddenly turned around and stabbed Si Ning with the knife in her hand. Seeing that the knife was in front of Si Ning, someone grabbed it.
The woman's hand hurt, the knife fell to the ground, and another sharp knife hung on her neck.
Si Ning tapped her dress with her right hand and said calmly.
"Tell me, do you want to answer the question yourself, or do you want to suffer some physical pain?"
The woman lost her disguise and looked at Si Ning with a ferocious face.
"It seems that you two, master and servant, have colluded long ago. I should have killed you the moment you came in!"
Hearing her arrogant words, Qiu Ju raised her hand and hit her hard on the head.
"Don't say anything arrogant to my wife."
The woman's forehead turned red, but she didn't mean to lower her head.
"You'd better kill me, otherwise I will let you die in the wilderness."
Si Ning slowly stood up, Qiu Ju quickly turned around and supported her.
Si Ning limped up to the woman and smiled when he saw the fearless look on her face.
"I have a problem. I never want to do what others want. I want to die. No, I haven't had enough fun!"
She winked at Qiu Ju, and Qiu Ju let her go, took out a piece of black cloth from her waist and covered the woman's eyes.
"What are you going to do?"
"Nothing to do, just play a game with you."
The woman's hands and feet were tied to the chair until she couldn't move. Si Ning stepped forward, held a knife to her cheek, and said calmly.
"This game is very simple. I... scratch your pulse and let the blood stay little by little... until the blood dries up and the game is over."
"But in the meantime, if you say anything to please me, I can also save your life. How about it, is it fun?"
The woman couldn't see Si Ning, but she could still imagine her expression at this time.
He was so angry that he tried hard to break the restraints on his hands and feet.
"You won't get a word out of my mouth."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a stinging pain on her right wrist, and then she heard a ticking sound, which should be the sound of her own blood hitting something.
Before he could recover, the other wrist was also cut open by Si Ning, and then the pulse of both feet was also cut open.
The ticking sound became faster and faster, which seemed particularly abrupt in this silent night.
Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock...
Every sound of blood dripping made her upset and angry, and her breathing became a little heavier.
Seeing that the woman was still unmoved, Qiu Ju looked at Si Ning hesitantly, unsure whether this method would work.
She had also learned many ways to torment people in the secret guard, but she had never seen anything like this...
But Si Ning above him was drinking tea calmly, as if the matter didn't matter.
Time passed little by little, and the ticking sound became faster and faster.
Si Ning finished a cup of tea and then stood up.
The woman yelled when she heard her getting up.
"Don't even think about what I said."
The roar was a loud roar, but the momentum was obviously a bit weaker.
Si Ning ignored her and said to Qiu Ju.
"Stay guard in this room. I'll go and rest first. When her blood dries up, call me again. It would be nice to make clothes made of human skin."
These words were meant to scare people casually, but in this situation, they made people feel panicked.
The tied woman clenched her hands and swayed, obviously unable to resist.
Si Ning looked at it, twitching the corners of his mouth, then lifted the curtain and went to the next room.
But she didn't rest. She only sat for a while and then heard Qiu Ju's footsteps.
"Madam, she did it."
Si Ning was not surprised. Extorting a confession did not necessarily require bloodshed. The most important thing was to break the other party's inner defenses.
This was the first lesson she learned in her previous life, and she still remembers it vividly.
She was about to get up, but Qiu Ju quickly stopped her.
"Madam, please take some rest first. I'll ask you later. I'm here to look for you."
Si Ning stood up, "No need, I don't understand if I ask, I'm afraid it will cause trouble again."
Everyone in this village knows kung fu, so there are two possibilities.
One, this may be a bandit's den, and two, this may be...
"We are the private soldiers raised here by a certain nobleman."
"Private soldiers?"
Si Ning raised his eyebrows, his voice teasing.
"Do you think I have nothing to do and are you just making up stories here?"
"I don't. It's true. We are just a military post here. More soldiers are not here, but we are indeed private soldiers. The weapons are hidden in the back mountain. Madam, you can order someone to check. There are marks on them."
"Madam, this..."
Qiu Ju frowned and looked at Si Ning.
Si Ning waved his hand at her and asked the person below.
"You said you are private soldiers. Apart from the marks on the weapons, what else can you prove? And who is that noble man?"
The woman's expression changed, and Qiu Ju pointed the knife in her hand at her again.
"To say or not to say?"
"This...it's not that I didn't say it, it's that I really didn't know!"
"What should I do now, madam?"
The woman was locked away, Qiu Ju asked worriedly.
"If she doesn't show up before dawn, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of those people. It's just a normal day. Now that you and I are injured, it is not easy to escape from these people..."
Qiu Ju knelt on the ground and spoke firmly.
"Qiu Ju will protect his wife from leaving at any cost."
Si Ning hurriedly helped the person up, feeling quite helpless.
"What are you thinking about? If you want to leave, let's go together."
"But the current situation..."
"It's not the worst yet. At least they haven't discovered anything is wrong yet and haven't forced them to the door. There will be a turning point. I do have a way to solve the current crisis."
"What method?"
…
the other side.
After Lu Hanxiao got the news, he hurried out of the yard.
Seeing that Ming Han was in a hurry to follow, he spoke out to stop him.
"Master, there are a lot of doubts about this matter. Madam may not have any accidents. She may have been delayed on the way. Besides, this is obviously someone's plan against Madam. Is it to lure Madam into danger or to lure you out? It’s hard to say, so why don’t you let me go check it out first? If it’s really Madam, I will definitely rescue her intact..."
"Master... Young Master... Master..."
