Chapter 56 The house collapsed

 The carriage stopped on a gentle slope, Xia Qianqian was wrapped in a quilt and sneezed constantly.

On the small table in the carriage, the fire of the small stove burned brightly.

On the stove, the water in the teapot began to boil.

Ji Zimo picked up hot water, made a pot of hot tea, poured it into a cup, handed it to her, "Drink!"

Xia Qianqian's hand stretched out from the mattress and took the teacup in a polite manner. Unexpectedly, her hand was shaking with cold and she accidentally touched his finger.

"I'm sorry!" She retracted her hand like an electric shock, "I didn't mean to."

Cuttlefish doesn't like being touched, so she doesn't dare to offend him at this moment.

Unexpectedly, she still annoyed him.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, his face turned gloomy, "Take it yourself."

He put the tea cup under her feet.

Xia Qianqian lost her stern look just now, did not dare to say anything, and silently picked up the teacup.

The cold fingers touched the warmth of the tea cup and trembled, as if the whole body was warmed up.

She hurriedly picked up the tea cup and couldn't wait to drink a few sips of hot tea. She instantly felt that the chill in her body was driven away.

A flustered and restless heart gradually calmed down because of a cup of tea and a person.

After a while, Xiao Yong ran over from a distance, stood outside the car, raised his hands and reported: "Sir, there was no carriage or anyone outside the pavilion, but I found this thing."

He handed over a strange bottle.

The colorful bottle is marked with the words "wolf spray".

Xia Qianqian screamed in her heart and lowered her head silently.

Ji Zimo reached out to take the bottle, but Xiao Yong retracted his hand.

He was very vigilant: "Sir, be careful, there is a mechanism at one end of this bottle, and there is a special smell at the mouth of the bottle. I am certain that this must be a very powerful hidden weapon."

"Is it a hidden weapon?"

Ji Zimo's eyes fell lightly on Xia Qianqian.

Such a penetrating gaze makes everything about her invisible.

Her head lowered lower and lower, "Yes."

Beside the car, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of Geng Zhong and Xiao Yong.

"It's yours!" He spoke decisively, not as a question, but as a confirmation.

"Hmm!"

Xia Qianqian did not quibble, raised her eyes, and said with a smile: "Take my anti-wolf electric baton away. I have nothing to defend myself, only this..." The following words became lower and lower.

In terms of age, this person was clearly older than him in her previous life.

According to general medical rules, men's minds generally develop later than girls.

She also often boasts that she has good talents and a high IQ, but once she meets him, she is frustrated every time.

"How could you have such a thing?" Geng Zhong interjected in disbelief.

As a golden armored guard, he had never seen this thing before.

Well, he really deserves his reputation as a golden armored guard.

Xia Qianqian did not answer.

This question is really hard to answer.

Ji Zimo on the side weighed the anti-wolf spray in his hand, "Did you pick it up by the Fu'an River?"

He answered for her.

Xia Qianqian forced an embarrassed smile on her face, "Yes."

Apart from picking it up, where else can she get modern things packaged with this kind of craftsmanship?

"Next time, let's go pick it up together." He looked as usual and quietly invited.

The two of them seemed to be discussing whether to go to the sea to pick up seafood together next time, but Xia Qianqian clearly sensed the directness in his tone.

"As long as the young master is willing to condescend to dig through the muddy beach, he will definitely gain something." She did not flinch, nor could she flinch, and agreed wholeheartedly.

Since he didn't want to say it, he didn't force it.

Ji Zimo threw the things on the table and changed the subject, "Have you had any enemies lately?"

Xia Qianqian came back to her senses and thought about it, "I have indeed offended some people recently."

"For example, I used a knife to threaten Liu Erniu's family who wanted to marry me."

"I sent Zhang Dakui, who blackmailed me, to the prison of the General's Mansion."

"Aunt Wang next door tried to help me with matchmaking, but I choked back a few times."

"These are all trivial things, they probably won't kill me."

She took a sip of tea and raised her doubts, "The rainstorm came suddenly, and it was by chance that I went to the small pavilion to take shelter. The man suddenly jumped out and wanted to kill me. He must have met me and acted on the spur of the moment."

"He once asked for my name and then took action after confirming it."

Xia Qianqian made some analysis and ordered: "The person who wants to kill me the most is Zhang Dakui's daughter. I heard that she became a concubine for the chief of guard next to Mr. Cao."

"I sent her father to jail to prevent her from blowing wind on her pillow. That Luo Hong was at my door last time. You saw him. At first glance, he is not a good thing."

She spoke with a firm tone and ordered: "Weiwei Xiao, go check and find out who has had eye problems in the past two days. His eyes have been red and stinging. Maybe that person wants to kill me."

"Mr. Mo, if you are acquainted with Mr. Cao, if you find out about these scoundrels who care about human lives, you must inform Mr. Cao to prevent his reputation from being ruined by these people."

She analyzed the whole thing in a clear and logical manner, and then gave instructions on what to do next. Only then did she realize that the three people across from her looked at her in strange ways.

Oops!

Ancient people seemed to dislike others overstepping their bounds.

She gathered her thoughts, put the tea cup on the low table, and said seriously: "Of course, you have no obligation to catch the suspect for me, but..."

She changed the topic and said with dignity: "If I die, think about your losses?"

"First, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the thousand taels of silver I owe you."

"Secondly, if the young master's body is not properly taken care of, I'm afraid his life span will be shortened in the future."

"Third, don't you want to know why that person wanted to kill me?"

She suddenly smiled brilliantly, her eyebrows curved, "Maybe the young master leaked the news, and the person who wanted to harm the young master found out that I could save you, so he took the initiative and wanted to get rid of me."

After watching too many Gongdou and Zhadou dramas, some strange thoughts will always pop up.

After contacting each other at this time, she could logically deduce these contents.

Ji Zimo was silent for a while, then raised his eyes and looked at her, his eyes dark and inexplicable.

"Don't worry, I will definitely catch that person and let you ask for yourself why I want to kill you."

The Qing tent carriage restarted, swaying on the muddy road, heading towards Fu'an Village.

There was a sudden heavy rain, and many broken branches and dead grass were scattered on the road. When we came to the village, many dilapidated houses collapsed.

Xia Qianqian's heart sank, feeling faintly worried.

When she reached the gate of Xia's house, her heart instantly fell into the deep pool.

A large part of the outer wall of Xia's house collapsed. In the east wing opposite the door, a corner of the wall collapsed. The roof tiles tilted down and were piled up to a person's height. They were all in pieces.

She jumped out of the car and walked through the broken door that was crooked on the ground. As soon as she reached the yard, Li Yunniang ran out of the house.

"Qianqian, you are back!"

She noticed the brocade bandage on her arm with sharp eyes, and touched her arm in fear, "What's going on? Why is it injured?"

"Child, what happened? Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?"

This is her mother in ancient times. She usually dislikes her for being soft-tempered, but no matter what time, she always puts her safety on guard.

"It doesn't matter to me." Xia Qianqian glanced at the scratch on Li Yunniang's forehead. Seeing that her clothes were half wet, she complained: "Why are you injured too."

"Sister, the heavy rain just now was so severe. My mother was injured because she was trying to protect me."

Yuan Bao ran over, with tears in his eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Sister, our house collapsed, what should we do? My little rabbit and chicken were almost killed."
