Cheng Dalei lay on the girl's soft bed, stretched out his legs, and snored comfortably.
Cui Baiyu resisted the urge to kill him with a knife.
Now Cheng Dalei is a blessing in disguise, he doesn't worry about anything and only knows how to bury himself in sleep. But Cui Baiyu is worried. Not only is he worried that he will be discovered by the enemy, but he also boils medicine and boils water to take care of the sick Cheng Dalei.
Now she sincerely hopes that Cheng Dalei will get well soon.
He boiled water and boiled medicine, helped Cheng Dalei take it, wiped his face, and covered him with several layers of quilts... After all the busy work, Cheng Dalei's breathing gradually became calmer, and his snoring became quieter and quieter.
Cui Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief. She had always been served by others, and she had never served anyone else before. She was really tired from being in a hurry just now. But it was probably due to the motherly nature of women to take care of others. Although it was her first time,
But it was really well done.
The night was already dark, so the girl rested in the kitchen for the time being and gave up the big room to Cui Baiyu and the others.
Xu Shenji lay on the bed and fell asleep soundly. Xu Shenji and Cui Baiyu were exhausted after walking all the way, but they could not both rest, and one of them had to stay overnight.
Be wary of enemies finding this place, be wary of accidents, be wary of that girl Yuanyuan... Even if the girl comes to help, neither Xu Shenji nor Cui Baiyu fully trusts each other. This is not because they don't know good people, but because they are survival instincts in troubled times.
"Commander Xu, please rest first. I'll wake you up in the middle of the night." Cui Baiyu said.
"What are you talking about? How can I let a girl keep watch all night? Just go to bed and I will keep watch all night."
Cui Baiyu was really exhausted, and felt a little moved when he heard this. Although Military Advisor Xu has a vulgar appearance and vulgar words, he is a man beyond appearances. He is responsible at critical moments and can be considered a true husband.
She wanted to say a few words of humility, but she found that Xu Shenji kept yawning when he spoke. He also said a few words later, but they were already unclear. Before he could finish speaking, he fell down on the table and didn't
After a while, a dull snore sounded.
Cui Baiyu was speechless for a while and had the urge to run away.
Do the people in Toad Village behave like this?
"..."
Now Cheng Dalei has fallen asleep, Xu Shenji has also fallen asleep, but Cui Baiyu is the only one who cannot sleep and keeps vigil alone.
The oil lamp in the house has been blown out. The small family lives a frugal life, and there is no reason to light the lamp at night. Moreover, Cui Baiyu is also worried about being discovered by the enemy. There is no moon today, and there is no one in the house. Only Cheng Dalei and Xu Shen
The snoring of the two of them.
After a while, Cui Baiyu gradually adapted to the darkness, and could barely see some things clearly. She was also very tired, so she steeled herself and looked at Cheng Dalei's face.
At the moment, she is the only one who is awake. To a certain extent, she has power that others do not have. The short knife is on her body, and she has not returned it to Xu Shenji. At the moment, as long as she holds the knife tightly, she can kill him silently.
Cut Cheng Dalei's throat, and then kill Xu Shenji.
As for the girl Yuanyuan, I'm afraid she has never even killed a chicken. It shouldn't take much effort to kill her by yourself.
Cui Baiyu's eyes were burning, and his heart was beating fast. Cheng Dalei's life now depended on his own thoughts. As long as he held the knife tightly, he could get rid of this rising thief for the empire.
But, what happens next...
At this time, Cheng Dalei turned over on the bed.
Cui Baiyu was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, with cold sweat breaking out on her face. After confirming that Cheng Dalei had not woken up, she slowly came back to her senses.
Thinking of the thought just now, even Cui Baiyu felt terrible. In the dark night, sinful thoughts grew, but what happened next? Killing Cheng Dalei may not necessarily make the empire better; the Cui family's annihilation was caused by Cheng Dalei, but
If it was entirely because of Cheng Dalei, he still looked down upon him.
The whole Cui family was beheaded, and the women were made slaves and servants... This kind of thing is certainly unfortunate. But when the prime minister was in power, didn't this kind of misfortune happen to other people?
After all, it is tit for tat, and the debts owed must be repaid today.
Cui Baiyu once hated Cheng Dalei so much that she thought about killing him if she had the chance, but she felt a huge hatred in her heart. But when the opportunity came to her today, she finally realized that some of her persistence might have been wrong from the beginning.
She sighed softly, walked to the window alone, and looked at the night outside. After solving this inner demon, she felt empty in her heart. What should she do next?
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Cui Baiyu was startled and quickly retracted his thoughts, not daring to make any sound.
She carefully discerned that the knocking came from the small door of the courtyard. The girl from far away was staying in a nunnery. There were two doors in the small courtyard, one leading to the outside of the nunnery, and outside it was the barren slope of the creek.
; Another door connects to the nunnery.
Cui Baiyu calmed down a little, wondering who was knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Was it an enemy who had found this place, or was it Miss Yuanyuan's little lover.
The girl is beautiful, seventeen or eighteen years old. As the saying goes, a girl's thoughts are always poems, wet poems. In the past, the maids and servants of the Cui family often hooked up with each other. Men and women often get along with each other, and there is no affection.
It's a very difficult thing. In the past, once Cui Baiyu found out about this kind of thing, the man would be buried alive and the woman would sink into the pond.
In other words, I have never done many things that were detrimental to morality.
Girl Yuanyuan came out of the kitchen and opened the door on tiptoe. Cui Baiyu's soul of gossip was burning, and he wanted to see what this girl's lover looked like. Girl Yuanyuan was born in a hurry. If the other person was just a banker, he would be a violent man.
Heavenly things.
The small door opened, and an old man squeezed in. Cui Baiyu clicked his tongue in his heart: Miss Yuanyuan looks very serious, but she turns out to be so unserious.
"Dad, why did you come here in the middle of the night?"
"My child, I am so happy." The old man panted: "Dad came here specially to pick you up. You can go home."
"Ah, what happened?"
"Say it in the house, talk it in the house."
Cui Baiyu looked ashamed, but it turned out that he had misunderstood the two of them. In other words, since he stayed in Toad Village for a long time, his thoughts gradually became...
"Dad, you can't talk about anything here. You have to go into the house."
The old man insisted on entering the house, but the girl refused. The old man felt a little strange, and suddenly he thought: Oh, it's not a good idea to stay in the house, there must be someone hiding in the girl's room.
He had to go into the main house and take a look, to see if that bastard had eaten the heart of a bear or the guts of a leopard. Miss Yuanyuan wanted to stop her, but there was no way she could stop her. The old man barged straight into the house.
Cui Baiyu in the house was panicking. Now he was trapped in the house, and there was no place to hide. But if he was broken through and the news came out... By the way, the old man's voice was vaguely familiar.
