The leading man in black looked at Bai Ling and did not speak immediately, but fell into silence for a while. He could not deny that Bai Ling's words did shake him.
He had been a member of the Black Iron Army for fifteen years and had made a lot of money, but he only wanted to retire from the world and marry a wife in the future, so he had nothing to spend.
If you die now, all your previous efforts will be in vain!
"You girl, you are so sharp-tongued! Who is she to you? Why do you have to save her?" After a long while, he seemed to have made a decision and finally spoke.
"She is a citizen of my village. I can't just watch her be in danger." Bai Ling answered simply and firmly.
The man in black was surprised when he heard what Bai Ling said, and then sneered: "Do you really think it's a good deal to make enemies with us for the sake of people who are neither relatives nor friends?"
"This is my own business. Do you want the antidote or not?" Bai Ling didn't want to continue to argue with him. After all, the poison was by no means fatal. If it were delayed any longer, the flaw might be discovered.
"I won't let go of what happened today and let him go!" The leading man in black took the antidote from Bai Ling's hand, put down Wu Dandan as promised, and then left with a few brothers.
When Bai Ling saw them walking away, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to check on Wu Dandan. Fortunately, those people were quite trustworthy and did not hurt her secretly.
This half-mountain area is located on the east side of the only road between the village and the town. Because the terrain is steep and there are cliffs, few people come here. Bai Ling looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly took Wu Dandan into the space.
Then he moved to the edge of town before appearing.
Wu Dandan showed signs of waking up. In order to avoid being suspected, she gave a few taels of silver to the man at the roadside tea shop and asked him to find a carriage, and then the two of them entered the town.
The carriage took the two of them to Hairpin Flower. A Chou, who was clearing up the table outside the door, saw Bai Ling struggling to support Wu Dandan and hurriedly came over nervously: "Miss Bai, what's going on? What happened?
"
Achou looked at Wu Dandan nervously and reached out to help.
"Get her in first." Bai Ling really didn't expect Wudan Dan to be so heavy before. Although she walked not far with him, she already felt that it was difficult to speak.
A Chou responded, and seeing that Bai Ling was tired, he simply carried Wu Dan Dan on his back and ran to the backyard.
Shi Jingruo was taking inventory in the backyard. When she saw Ah Chou coming in hurriedly carrying Wu Dandan on his back, he immediately came up to help: "What's going on? Come into the house quickly and put it down carefully..."
Shi Jingruo greeted and placed Wu Dandan on the bed.
Bai Ling was not in a hurry to go in and check. Instead, he sat in the yard and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a few sips before entering.
During these nine cold days, she was actually covered in sweat.
"Miss Bai, what happened to Wu Dan Dan? You two met Jie Dao!" Shi Jingruo approached Bai Ling and asked nervously.
"It's okay. The carriage broke down halfway and she fell. It'll be fine when she wakes up. Don't worry." Bai Ling glanced at Wu Dandan, who was still asleep on the bed, and said lightly.
She didn't want to reveal too much about the man in black until the matter was clear.
"Miss Bai, are you injured anywhere? Get up and let me see!" After hearing Bai Ling's words, Shi Jingruo pulled her nervously and insisted on letting her stand up and spin around a few times to confirm the food before letting her go.
sit down.
Bai Ling was very tired at first, but suddenly found that Shi Jingruo cared about her so much, and her heart felt warm.
"Sister Shi, I'm fine. Don't worry. Look, my arms and legs are all fine!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. It's just that the carriage suddenly broke down. Have you found the reason?"
"The screws are probably loose. I don't know the details. The shop will officially open tomorrow. You go ahead and do your work. I will take care of Wu Dandan."
Bai Ling estimated that Wu Dandan was about to wake up, so he thought he would have a talk with her before the matter became known to more people and became more complicated, so he sent Shi Jingruo and A Chou away in advance.
She just came in to rest for a while, and secretly mixed some spiritual spring water into the tea, so Bai Ling's physical strength recovered a little. After she and Wu Dandan were the only ones left in the room, she also fed Wu Dandan some spiritual spring water.
Wu Dandan drank the spring water and opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw Bai Ling, he immediately sat up nervously: "Why am I here? Am I not dead?"
The four classes of Wu Dan Dan are very different. When he looked at Bai Ling, his eyes were full of doubts.
"You are still alive. When those people wanted to take you away, I saved you. So, can you tell me what all this is about?" Bai Ling looked at Wu Dandan with a serious expression.
"Miss Bai, I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble, but I can't live. I have to go with them, otherwise they said they would kill everyone in the village. I don't want to hurt everyone, the leader of Shangguan Village..."
Wu Dandan suddenly struggled and jumped out of bed like crazy, and was about to run out barefoot. Bai Ling chased her and hugged her: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Tell me what happened."
What happened?"
Bai Ling held Wu Dandan, whispered in her ear, and subconsciously touched her back with his hand to calm her down as soon as possible.
Wu Dandan was hugged by Bai Ling, and suddenly he burst into tears as if he had someone to rely on.
Her cries were pitiful, and Bai Ling listened quietly, letting her vent her inner emotions.
After a long time, Wu Dandan finally calmed down.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Bai Ling, with a hint of despair in her eyes.
"Yesterday, after I returned to my home, I wanted to rest, but I found a man in black hiding in my home. He threatened me, saying that if I didn't leave the village today, their people would come in, and then everyone in the village would be killed.
Die for me and be buried with me. That’s why I made an excuse to come out today, but I’m too scared to be alone, so I want Miss Bai to accompany me. I didn’t mean to harm you. They said as long as
If I take the initiative to leave the village, they will not harm others..."
Wu Dandan narrated what happened last night, and Bai Ling suddenly had a chilling thought in his mind.
The man in black, is he the man in black who ran away in the cave yesterday?
"The man in black who found you, was he injured?"
"It seemed that he was injured. He was very weak when he talked to me, and he smelled of blood, and he kept coughing." Wu Dandan recalled, his whole body trembling because of fear.
