The masked man nodded, quickly opened the food box, took out a warm steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, and devoured it. After chewing two mouthfuls, he immediately picked up the wine bottle and poured half a bottle of wine into his mouth.
Hua Fangyi smiled knowingly and seemed to have forgotten the cold outside. She only felt that the food tasted delicious and she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Suddenly, a figure flew down from the roof. The speed was so fast that Hua Fangyi suddenly seemed like she was dreaming. Even the masked man with excellent qinggong had no time to react.
In the blink of an eye, a gleaming embroidery knife was placed on the masked man's neck.
Immediately, a cold and proud voice came: "I knew you would come here again to beg for food! I finally caught you today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Lang's iron-gray face appeared in the light, with a hint of gloomy pride hanging on his lips.
But the masked man didn't pay attention to the threat around his neck, and only stared at the food box that fell on the ground for a moment:
The snow-white steamed buns were covered in ashes. The hot vegetables were scattered on the ground, still steaming.
Every drop of that pot of wine was mixed into the soil, and the mellow aroma has already hit your nostrils...
The masked man's cold eyes like a lone wolf finally showed anger.
He slowly tightened his fists and stared at Ruan Lang with a pair of bright eyes, revealing a strong murderous intent.
Hua Fangyi saw his anger and couldn't help but feel curious: Ruan Lang's knife didn't make him angry.
And the fallen food made him so angry! He is really a weirdo!
After coming back to her senses, Hua Fangyi looked at Ruan Lang and scolded in a cold voice: "Master Ruan, why do you treat a beggar like this? Didn't you see that he was covered in injuries and that he was hungry and cold?"
"A beggar?" Ruan Lang raised his eyebrows, with a very angry and smiling expression on his face, as if he had heard a big joke.
"Miss Fangyi! Open your eyes and see, he is a famous flower-picking thief, not a beggar who deserves your sympathy!"
The words "flower picker" seemed to stimulate the masked man.
He suddenly covered his ears and squatted on the ground in panic, letting out a hoarse whine in his throat.
Hua Fangyi was startled and asked quickly: "You, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Lang picked him up without mercy and shouted angrily: "Get up, stop pretending to be pitiful for me!"
As he spoke, he kicked the masked man hard.
The man staggered and threw himself to the ground. He immediately covered his ears and his whole body was shaking.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Hua Fangyi couldn't bear it.
She immediately ran over, opened her arms, and stood in front of Ruan Lang: "Master Ruan, please explain clearly first! If he is really a flower-picking thief, how could he escape from the prison known as the Palace of Hell?"
Ruan Lang looked at Hua Fangyi angrily, pointed at the masked man on the ground, and said sternly: "He was pretending to be dead in prison. After we threw him into a mass grave, his body was missing. At that time,
Only then did we find out that he was pretending to be dead by holding his breath and evading his inspection!"
When Hua Fangyi mentioned the prison, her eyes gradually turned angry, and she couldn't help but sneer coldly: "The prison is not a place for people to stay. Anyone who goes in will want to escape with all his strength -
"
Ruan Lang was startled, knowing that she was remembering the unpleasant past again, so his tone softened: "I know you still remember that time! But he is different, he is a felon arrested by the court!"
Hua Fangyi walked to the masked man, leaned over to help him up, and gently advised: "Master Ruan, since he faked his death and escaped and now he is alive again, you might as well let him go!"
Ruan Lang was shocked and looked at her in disbelief: "Miss Fangyi, are you crazy? Do you know how many women he has raped? Should I let him go and let him continue to harm other women?"
Hua Fangyi looked at the frightened eyes of the masked man and sighed: "You have suffered so many crimes in prison. Now you must want to change your mind and live a good life, right?"
The masked man stared at Hua Fangyi's watery eyes and nodded slowly, his lonely eyes actually a little moist.
Ruan Lang shook his head, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked: "Miss Fangyi, have you fallen into his trap? If you let him go, aren't you afraid that he will sneak into your house and harm you?
"
Hua Fangyi sneered and said proudly: "I have seen a lot of adulterers, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Don't you think so, Lord Ruan?"
She looked at Ruan Lang with a half-smile, and saw that he felt a little guilty, so she couldn't help but lower her eyes.
Hua Fangyi took a deep breath and added: "Besides, he is so good at Qinggong and knows where I live. If he wanted to come in, he would have come in long ago. But now he would rather starve than steal or rob.
If you want to start over, why can't you give him this chance?"
Ruan Lang looked at her with a serious look and said categorically: "I'm sorry, he is a serious criminal that the court wants to arrest. I can't obey you on this matter!"
Hua Fangyi sighed quietly and said slowly: "But he is eating at our Xiaoxiang villa and drinking wine made by me. He is my guest. Since he is my guest, I have to protect him.
I won’t let you take him away!”
Ruan Lang was shocked and asked solemnly: "Miss Fangyi, do you want to rebel against the imperial court?"
Hua Fangyi smiled sweetly and said softly: "Of course Fangyi doesn't dare! I just hope Master Ruan can be merciful on my territory. When he leaves here, it has nothing to do with me how you want to arrest people, okay?"
At this moment, Hua Fangyi was smiling brightly, and her voice was full of wisdom. Her voice was greasy and astringent, so soft that people couldn't refuse. Ruan Lang couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
He realized his gaffe, immediately turned his head and said reluctantly: "Okay... okay, it's up to you!"
Hua Fangyi smiled proudly, quickly looked at the masked man and gave him a sign.
The masked man understood, immediately put his feet on the ground, opened his arms, and jumped onto the roof as light as a swallow.
By the time Ruan Lang reacted, he had disappeared without a trace.
Ruan Lang looked at the darkness, gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Fangyi, do you know what you are doing?"
Hua Fangyi smiled and said: "I didn't stop you from catching him! But you are here to guard him, so of course I have to help him!"
"You!" Ruan Lang was so angry that he couldn't speak, but no matter how he lost his temper, Hua Fangyi always looked at him with watery eyes and a smile, making him full of anger but nowhere to vent his anger.
Moreover, thinking about the several times he was bullied by Wang Jing, it was Hua Fangyi who found a way to find someone to deal with him so that he was not humiliated. She was just kind-hearted and had no other purpose.
He could only sigh deeply, gritted his teeth, turned around and strode away.
——Flower Picker——
The moonlight is calm and the chill is slight. The sky is gradually breaking, and the sound of dripping from the copper pot is gradually becoming quieter.
Lu Ning was sleeping and waking up in bed. She had not slept well all night. The room was very warm, but a little stuffy. She turned over in bed and suddenly felt someone lying next to her!
Lu Ning was shocked: Who is this person? When did he break in? Why didn't he notice it at all?
She immediately held her breath and concentrated, trying to stabilize herself as quickly as possible.
She first touched her body and found that her clothes were intact, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she slowly turned her head, trying to look at the people next to her in the dim light of the morning light:
This person was lying on his side with his back to him, covering his head with the quilt. He couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person coming, but he could tell that he was thin and thin. Moreover, this person was breathing very lightly and very steadily. No wonder Lu Ning didn't notice it.
She calmed her mind, and very slowly touched the pillow with one hand, and touched a cold and hard dagger.
To kill or to capture alive kept tumbling in her mind. To kill or not to kill was just a matter of a thought!
In the midst of lightning and flint, Lu Ning opened the quilt, silver light flashed from his right hand, and the sharp dagger pointed directly at the neck of the person next to him.
The person next to him didn't seem to feel the danger. The moment the quilt was lifted, the person turned over lazily, and a pretty and cute face appeared in front of Lu Ning.
"Damn it! It's you!"
She screamed in surprise, pulled back her hand in time, put the dagger against the man's cheek, and stabbed it hard into the bed.
Lu Ning was in shock, breathing heavily, and the hand holding the dagger was shaking slightly.
She raised her eyebrows, glared at the sleeping man, and said through gritted teeth: "Mu-Qian-Qian! Get up!"
This cry finally woke up the sleeping girl.
She struggled for a long time before slowly opening her eyelids.
When she caught sight of Lu Ning's extremely angry eyes, she was suddenly startled and sat up.
Only then did he realize that a dagger was inserted deeply into his body, not even an inch away from him.
With a cry of "Ah", Mu Qianqian jumped out of bed lightly, pointed at Lu Ning and asked, "What are you doing? Are you going to kill me?"
Lu Ning suddenly pulled out the dagger, retracted the scabbard, and glared at her: "I haven't questioned you yet, but you questioned me instead! Tell me! Why did you show up in my bed? What's your plan?"
Mu Qianqian pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Yesterday Yan Rong invited me to dinner, and we drank too late. I was too lazy to go back, so I just came to your place to spend the night! Why are you making such a fuss!"
"Not bad?" Lu Ning laughed angrily and said through gritted teeth, "When did you come in? Why didn't you say hello to me? Do you know that I almost killed you just now!"
Mu Qianqian did not feel ashamed at all, but said aggrievedly: "I came over in the middle of the night and saw you sleeping so soundly, so I couldn't bear to call you. Besides, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes and just wanted to sleep. How could I think so much?
!But you, you still carry a dagger with you when you sleep! Who dares to be your husband in the future!"
"How dare you say that!" Lu Ning jumped up from the bed and approached Mu Qianqian step by step. His eyes were cold and his voice was solemn: "Who can break into a woman's boudoir! Do you think I won't kill him?
Does he make friends?"
Mu Qianqian was so frightened by her anger that she quickly shrank her neck. Nuonuo said: "Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong. Isn't that okay, Lu Da Gang Leader!"
Lu Ning glared at her fiercely, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, but she was still frightened: Fortunately, she hesitated just now and made her hands move a little slowly. Otherwise, Mu Qianqian would have been dead by now!
Mu Qianqian suddenly jumped from the warm quilt to the ground. She sneezed and quickly got back into the quilt. She whispered: "No wonder my brother is so afraid of you. The room you broke into is really too dangerous!"
"Shut up! Don't mention this again!" Lu Ning's face suddenly changed color, scaring Mu Qianqian so much that she didn't dare to speak anymore, so she stretched herself, turned over and went back to sleep.
Early in the morning, Lu Ning was startled and very angry. At this time, Lu Ning had no sleepiness at all.
She glanced angrily at the heartless girl on the bed. She was so angry that she didn't know what to say, so she had to wash up in a hurry, slam the door and leave.
The spring is cold, the fog is thick, and the jackdaws are cawing.
As soon as she opened the door, Lu Ning was shivered by the cold air. She tightened her fox fur and stepped on the white snow on the ground to the front yard.
The cold-resistant plum blossoms are the first to bloom, but the snow in the courtyard has not yet melted, and the treetops are shining with the brilliance of the morning sun.
Under the thin ice in the water channel, fallen flowers slowly flowed down with the flowing water. From the houses not far away, a few wisps of light smoke rose, filling and spreading in the early morning mist.
