There are no stars or moon in the cold sky. Although the rain has stopped, dark clouds are still gathering in large numbers, and the water is rushing through the streets and alleys, running wild in the darkness.
The girl sat with her legs crossed on the Eight Immortals table in the woodshed in the backyard. The table was very old and made a squeaking sound when moved even slightly.
Rainwater poured in from the gap under the firewood door, and the necrotic table legs were soaked in water. The girl was worried that it would not be able to support it for long.
So, she didn't dare to sleep or move, and kept her eyes open in the darkness.
Amidst the sound of water outside, someone suddenly came over.
The movement was very light, but the sound of the calves cutting through the water was very obvious.
The girl was startled, and her hands began to tremble unconsciously.
The footsteps stopped outside the door. Chen Yunqi held a bowl in his hand, thought for a while, raised his hand and knocked gently.
"You don't seem to have eaten anything," Chen Yunqi whispered, "I have some pastries here, do you want them?"
The girl pursed her lips and said nothing, looking straight at the door in the darkness.
"Shall I bring it in for you?"
"No!" the girl suddenly shouted, "I don't want it!"
The tone was so frightening that Chen Yunqi frowned slightly: "Well, okay, I'll put it on the stove. If you're hungry, you can eat it."
After waiting for a while, the girl made no sound.
Chen Yunqi then held the bowl and turned around to leave.
When she was about to step up the steps, she was suddenly startled. She looked up and was startled by Chu Zheng standing at the door. The bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"You, you're awake." Chen Yunqi said.
Chu Zheng stared at the cakes in her bowl coldly, raised her eyelids lightly, and looked into her eyes: "Do you have an idea?"
Chen Yunqi pursed his lips and nodded.
"The method you think of is best used. If you don't like it, I will kill you."
Chen Yunqi tightened her fingers holding the bowl and said softly: "Do you know who the real owner of Gu House is?"
"who?"
"A gentleman named Shen, he is Shen Lie's brother."
"Shen Shu?" Chu Zheng said.
"It turns out his name is Shen Xu..."
"How dare you lie to me!" Chu Zheng was furious, "He is already dead!"
"It's really him!" Chen Yunqi exclaimed in shock, "I don't know what life or death is, but I am sure that he is Shen Lie's brother!"
"I told you, he was already dead!" Chu Zheng took a step forward.
Chen Yunqi quickly retreated and almost fell into the water.
"I lied to you before!" She said quickly, "I didn't tell you the truth. I actually know why I am in Hengxiang! Everyone who knows Ah Li thinks that I have the same profile as her after seeing me.
.That’s why Shen Lie’s brother asked me to be brought here. He has been locked up in Ning’an Building these months. He is a very thoughtful person. He asked me to come back because I could use it at the critical moment.
, He has plans!”
Chu Zheng looked at her with serious eyebrows: "Are you serious about what you said?"
"Why else would I want to stay?! You know how much I dislike that Ah Li."
Chu Zheng said no more.
After a pause, Chen Yunqi bravely stepped forward: "Brother Shen Lie has a heart for the city. Let's find a way to find him. You are very skilled. Wouldn't it be great to join forces with him?"
Just as she finished speaking, a powerful roar suddenly sounded in the distance.
The two immediately turned their heads and looked south.
"Hey! I'm talking about you," an old man shouted, "who are you! It's midnight..."
The words came suddenly.
A soldier quickly covered the old man's mouth.
"No!" Wang Fengnian stuck his head out and looked in the direction of the sound, "Where is this old man from?"
"General Manager, what should we do?!" the subordinate beside him asked hurriedly.
"What else can we do? Do it!" Wang Fengnian said angrily and rushed out with his men.
Chu Zheng grabbed Chen Yunqi's lapel: "Did you attract this person here?!"
"It's not me! I've been here all the time!" Chen Yunqi said with difficulty.
Chu Zheng threw her away and went back to the house to get the sword, but the front yard was immediately broken and the leading soldiers broke in.
Chu Zheng didn't have time to go to the stairs and was blocked by someone. She picked up a bench and threw it at her. Then she hurriedly returned to the backyard. On the way, she saw a long hoe. She immediately picked it up and turned around to resist the soldiers' attack.
Chen Yunqi climbed up from the water and looked at the torch chasing him in the front yard.
The fire was so bright that Chu Zheng, outnumbered and outnumbered, gradually became unable to hold on.
The firewood door behind him was opened at this moment, and the girl who heard the commotion came out and stood dumbfounded by the door.
Chen Yunqi turned to look at her, and the girl subconsciously took a step back.
Chen Yunqi frowned slightly. Suddenly, she picked up the bowl that was half floating on the water and ran towards the girl.
The girl hurriedly hid in the woodshed.
Chen Yunqi smashed the bowl on the wall, smashed open the already damaged wood door, and grabbed the girl hiding behind the Eight Immortals table.
She had little strength, but the completely frightened girl didn't know how to resist. She opened her mouth to cry and let her put the broken porcelain on her neck.
"Come out!" Chen Yunqi yelled, grabbing the weak-limbed girl and walking towards Chaimen.
Chu Zheng retreated step by step to the backyard, with many injuries on his body. Chen Yunqi shouted: "Come to me!"
The girl finally remembered to struggle, but the broken porcelain shards pierced her flesh.
"Don't move!" Chen Yunqi said in a trembling voice, "I don't want to kill you."
The soldiers did not rush over immediately, but pointed their spears at them.
Chu Zheng followed Chen Yunqi back step by step, raised his eyes and looked behind the soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "There are more and more of them."
Chen Yunqi's eyes were red and he said with tears: "What should we do?"
Wang Fengnian and others ran in through the broken courtyard door and asked: "What's going on? What's the situation in the backyard?"
A soldier quickly said: "Manager Wang, they have kidnapped a little girl."
"Is that the girl from this family?" Wang Fengnian said, "If you take her hostage, why bother with her!"
The soldier looked embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, we are soldiers."
"Soldiers in the backyard!" Wang Fengnian shouted loudly, "Get those two women quickly!"
Chen Yunqi's eyes widened.
Chu Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the girl, and quickly cut the artery on her neck with broken porcelain, and knocked the girl, who was gushing blood, towards the spears of the soldiers on the opposite side.
"Let's go!" Chu Zheng pulled Chen Yunqi up.
The soldiers at the front quickly retracted their guns, and the soldiers on both sides immediately started to chase.
In order to avoid disturbing the enemy, there were not many soldiers outside the backyard gate at the beginning. Chu Zheng used his long hoe and quick attack to fend off the spear, and ran towards the north with Chen Yunqi.
The river, which was more than ten feet wide, swelled due to heavy rain, and the water was turbulent. Seeing Chu Zheng's intention, Chen Yunqi screamed: "I don't know how to water! I don't know how to water!!"
Chu Zheng grabbed her and jumped down.
"Ah!!" Chen Yunqi's scream was quickly swallowed up by the river water.
The soldiers tried to jump off, but Wang Fengnian chased after them and shouted: "Don't jump!!"
Panting, he ran to the river and looked down at the dark river.
More and more torches were gathered around the shore, and a long and narrow sparkling golden dragon was reflected on the water. There was no one below, only the rushing river water.
"Don't jump," Wang Fengnian stretched out his hand to block them, and said to the soldiers beside him, "If you jump, you may not be able to find them, but you may die."
