Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone in from outside the cave, the workers sent by Lin Xiao found Zhang Yue sleeping soundly in the cave.
After being rescued, Zhang Yue was so excited that she limped out of the cave.
Before leaving, she reluctantly looked back at the cave and realized why the cave looked so artificially dug.
Could this be the home of the man who calls himself A Niu?
After Zhang Yue and others walked away, a man walked out of the darkness. Behind him was a man dressed as a farmer. A closer look revealed that it was Luo Ping!
The man tore off the scarred mask that covered half of his face, revealing his true face. He was the God of War general of the Great Xia Dynasty, Bai Zhancheng!
"Have you checked it out?"
Bai Zhancheng asked Luo Ping in a low voice.
"I found out that her name is Zhang Yue and she is the shopkeeper of the Hermes Clothing Store in Beijing. Yesterday, she did meet three streetwalkers on the mountain."
"Well, as long as there is no problem with your identity, go and deal with those three street gangsters secretly."
"My subordinate understands!"
After Luo Ping left, Bai Zhancheng walked into the cave and touched a stone at the deepest part of the cave entrance. Then with a slight turn, the passage originally hidden in the mountain was revealed.
He got into the passage.
It was pitch dark in the passage and he couldn't see his fingers. Bai Zhancheng walked along the passage for a long time and finally came to an open area.
The top of the open area is covered with huge night pearls, lighting up the entire cave.
It is filled with Lin Xiao’s modified repeating crossbows and sharp arrows!
…
Xiao Zhouzhou nestled in Lin Xiao's arms, her little face pressed tightly against Lin Xiao's chest, her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, obviously sleeping very uneasily.
Lin Xiao patted Xiao Zhouzhou's shoulder and comforted her softly:
"Be good, go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up!"
Xiao Zhouzhou seemed to hear Lin Xiao's whisper in her sleep. Her frown gradually relaxed, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Lin Xiao felt heartbroken when she saw the tears in the corners of Xiao Zhouzhou's eyes.
If something happens to Zhang Yue, even if he takes care of Xiao Zhouzhou meticulously, he cannot compare with his own mother.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's heart ached.
She couldn't help clenching her fists, and she fell into deep self-blame.
If she had known that Zhang Yue would be in danger, she should have sent a few workers to go with her to the mountains to look for bird feathers!
"Oh, it hurts me so much!"
At this time, Zhang Yue's voice sounded in the courtyard.
Hearing Zhang Yue's voice, Lin Xiao immediately became energetic, carefully placed Xiao Zhouzhou on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, and quickly walked out of the room.
Zhang Yue's clothes were in tatters, his hair was disheveled, and his face was in a mess. He looked like he had crawled out of a garbage heap.
Especially at the ankle of her left leg, there was a long gash, which was dripping with blood.
The workers helped her sit on a bamboo chair in the courtyard. She grimaced in pain and kept cursing.
Seeing Zhang Yue like this, Lin Xiao's eyes were red.
She rushed over and checked Zhang Yue's wounds while choking:
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoyue, I shouldn't have let you go to the mountain alone."
Zhang Yue raised her head and looked at Lin Xiao, with a bitter smile on her face:
"Hey, it's my fault. I was too eager for success, and that's why I ran into danger."
Is it only dangerous?
of course not!
The face of the man who claimed to be A Niu appeared in Zhang Yue's mind involuntarily, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
I haven’t said goodbye to him yet!
After the doctor's diagnosis, Zhang Yue's ankle injury was a flesh injury, and it would be fine after a while of recovery.
"Will it leave scars?"
Zhang Yue looked at the bandaged ankle and asked the doctor worriedly.
"It's okay, this is a trauma, it won't leave a scar, don't worry."
Zhang Yue nodded:
"That's good, otherwise my beautiful feet will be disfigured."
Listening to Zhang Yue's boastful words, Lin Xiao smiled, shook his head and said:
"Sister Xiaoyue, don't you look at how beautiful your feet are. Even if they have scars, they are still extremely beautiful."
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, please stop making fun of your sister!"
"Hehe, how dare I make fun of you!"
Zhang Yue smiled, then suddenly thought of something, she said in surprise:
"Oh, where is Xiao Zhouzhou? She hasn't seen me all night, so she must be crying, right?"
"You just thought of your precious daughter? Don't worry, she is sleeping, sleeping soundly!"
Lin Xiao deliberately teased Zhang Yue.
"Hehehe"
Zhang Yue laughed awkwardly, then changed the topic:
"Tomorrow is the costume competition. I haven't found the decorative bird feathers yet, and I don't know if it will have any impact."
"Relax, the clothes you designed are beautiful. If there are some feathers missing, it won't have any impact."
"But……"
Zhang Yue wanted to continue saying something, but was interrupted by a worker's knock on the door:
"Master Lin, someone is looking for you outside."
Is the prince coming?
Lin Xiao quickly opened the door and went out.
In the main hall, Lin Xiao did not see Li Yujuan, but saw Luo Ping in a green robe.
"Vice General Luo, why are you here?"
How, exactly, did he know she lived here?
Luo Ping clasped his fists and explained:
"The general sent me to find you, Mr. Lin."
With that said, Luo Ping handed an exquisite wooden box to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao opened the wooden box in confusion and saw dozens of bird feathers of different colors inside.
"This is?"
"This is Toba that the general asked you to deliver to the shopkeeper Herousi, and tell her that the gangsters who bullied her yesterday have been punished."
"ah?"
Did Zhang Yue fall off the cliff yesterday because she met a gangster?
"The general also said that you must keep his coming to the capital a secret, and don't tell Shopkeeper Zhang the general's true identity. More importantly, don't go back to the cave where she lived yesterday!"
Luo Ping reminded him seriously.
"clear!"
"That's very good. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave!"
Luo Ping said goodbye and left.
After Lin Xiao sent Luo Ping away, her mind was filled with questions.
How did Zhang Yue know Bai Zhancheng?
Could it be that she fell off a cliff yesterday and Bai Zhancheng saved her?
In any case, Zhang Yue has got the bird feathers she needs. She should be very happy after seeing it!
Sure enough, when Zhang Yue saw the bird feathers in the wooden box, she was so excited that she jumped out of bed regardless of her injured ankle:
"Xiaoxiao, who sent this? Is it Brother A Niu?"
"I don't know why Brother Aniu is not Brother Aniu. It's just that a man sent this over and said that someone asked him to send it. He also told you not to look for him. He has already left."
"Gone? Where did he go?"
Zhang Yue hurriedly grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and asked anxiously.
Lin Xiao shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Well, forget it, he's gone and I don't know his real name yet!"
Zhang Yue sighed and lay back on the bed in despair:
"Xiaoxiao, please bring me the clothes I want to modify, and get me some needlework."
No one is watching?
I feel like I don’t have the motivation to continue writing, I’m in emo~~~
