This was Lu Jin's first time suffering from poison. His overall condition was not good and he had no appetite when eating.
After drinking the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep again.
An Shuyao was sitting by the bed, embroidering some bamboo leaf patterns on his new clothes. Her embroidery skills were not good, she could only sew simple clothes and purses.
The embroidered patterns were a little crooked, but forget it, she tried her best. Lu Jin had to wear it even if she didn't want to wear it. This was what she had worked so hard for.
She didn't embroider many bamboo leaves, just the meaning.
After finally winding up the thread, she went to the back to look at the vegetables she had planted. However, one day, the green vegetable seeds had sprouted, but there was no movement at all except the peppers.
Her spiritual spring can strengthen people's health and prolong their life, and can promote the rapid growth of plants, making them fresh and fresh.
After looking around, An Shuyao decided to go for a walk in the village. She had not been to the Rock Village for so long.
Rock Village, as its name suggests, most of the houses are fenced with piled stones, and most of the villagers live in thatched houses.
Winter is coming soon, and the women in the village have nothing to do at home, while the men in the family go to the county to find part-time jobs moving things in order to exchange for enough money to survive the cold winter.
The winter in Anzhou is extremely cold. It is said that the most severe snow disaster was so heavy that it could cover a person's waist. In this kind of weather, no one usually goes out.
An Shuyao is not worried about hoarding food. She has space and can hoard as much as she wants as long as she has money.
She must have the thatched house fully repaired before November.
Wandering all the way, An Shuyao came to a retro-style courtyard renovated with blue bricks. It looked grand from the outside. There were two words written on the plaque outside - Hu House.
This should be the landowner surnamed Hu that Aunt Lin mentioned. Judging from the closed door, the Hu family's house should be vacant.
An Shuyao circled around and prepared to go back, but just as she turned around, a woman's wailing cry for help came from inside.
"Help, help me, someone help me, ah——"
"Crack!"
It was a chaotic and clear slap, accompanied by the man's insults: "You bitch, you are so hot, you can make such a fuss, why don't you run away?"
The next second, the man's cry of pain was heard: "Ah - you are looking for death!"
"Bang."
The heavy vermilion door was opened with force, and a fair-skinned and beautiful woman ran out.
A layer of her coat was torn to pieces, her face was red and swollen, tears were falling on her eyelashes, and she was filled with a sense of fragmentation.
An Shuyao was surprised that there were such beauties in Anzhou.
The beauty saw An Shuyao and ran towards her as if she were a savior: "Girl, girl, please, can you help me call the Xu family in the village? Save me."
Before An Shuyao could say anything, a short and fat man with round cheeks and small eyes chased out from behind. He looked very menacing and terrifying.
As soon as the beauty saw him, her beautiful eyes were full of despair. She turned around and pulled An Shuyao and said, "Hurry up and help me call the Xu family. I'll hold Hu Jun back. I'll leave it to you."
"Hey, neither of you can leave."
Hu Jun chuckled, he was so lucky, there was another beautiful woman coming to his door. He wanted both.
Behind Hu Jun, there were two slaves, who were eagerly looking at the two of them.
The beauty's tears fell down her face, and she was a little lost: "It's all my fault. I lured him out and harmed you. Leave quickly and I'll stop him."
An Shuyao was a little helpless: "It seems it's too late for you to say this."
The two slaves blocked their way, and Hu Jun was a few steps away from them.
An Shuyao narrowed her eyes and took a step forward: "In broad daylight, is Mr. Hu planning to rob civilian girls? Do you still take the law of the world seriously?"
Wang Fa?
Hu Jun seemed to have heard something funny. He grinned his big yellow teeth and was very arrogant. He pointed at the land on the ground: "In this rock village, my Hu family is Wang Fa. If you obey me obediently, I will
Let you suffer less, and when I am satisfied, I will make you my concubine. Besides, Liu Yuxue was bought by me for thirty taels of silver, so why rob her by force?"
As he spoke, Hu Jun took out a piece of personal deed from his arms: "Look, it's clearly written in black and white on the paper. She, Liu Yuxue, is mine."
Liu Yuxue's eyes widened, tears threatening to fall. Her red lips trembled: "No...my aunt will not sell it to me. You must have forged it. I'm going to ask my aunt."
Hu Jun likes to admire the desperate expressions of trapped animals, which gives him a sense of pleasure that he is superior to this group of people.
He controlled the fate of these poor people with one hand. Hu Jun smiled so hard that his triangular eyes narrowed: "So come back obediently. I don't want to be rough with you. Why don't you just stay with me? I have countless money."
"
As he said this, he moved his eyes greedily to An Shuyao, wondering why he had never seen a girl with the same appearance as Liu Yuxue in Rock Village.
But no matter what, it was destiny to meet him. It was his. He waved his hand and said, "Catch them both."
Liu Yuxue's eyes were red from crying. She reached out and pulled off the hairpin on her head, and said to the two slaves, "You go, run faster."
An Shuyao looked at her weak body and realized that the hairpin had probably been tied up before the hairpin was tied down.
She raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at Hu Jun: "I'll give you one last chance to let us go."
She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but if he provoked her with such a look, there was no need to blame her for being rude.
Hu Jun sneered: "Catch!"
Several golden needles immediately appeared on the fingertips of An Shuyao's sleeves. She turned around and waved her hand, and the golden needles were inserted into the acupoints on the necks of the two slaves.
Within a moment, the two fell heavily, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.
An Shuyao blew lightly on her fingertips, looked at Hu Jun, smiled at him and rolled her eyes: "My aunt told me to let us go, but you didn't listen."
Hu Jun was stunned. He looked at the two servants who didn't know whether to live or die, and then looked at the calm An Shuyao. His voice was trembling: "You, you, you... you know martial arts?"
An Shuyao ignored his words. There was no martial arts to speak of. It was just a special skill that she had specially practiced in her previous life to protect herself, which allowed her to save herself in danger.
An Shuyao squatted down and pulled out the golden needles from the two servants, and approached Hu Jun with a smile: "It's your turn."
Hu Jun was so frightened that he stepped back: "Don't come here." He ran back and wanted to run into his courtyard. The next moment, he felt a slight pain in his right leg, and then the whole leg was paralyzed. He staggered.
He broke his mouth and chewed mud.
Hu Jun grinned in pain, casting a shadow on his face. An Shuyao squatted in front of him holding a golden needle.
The fear in Hu Jun's heart suddenly amplified: "Aunt... aunt, spare your life, don't kill me."
