He broke out in a cold sweat and gasped for air, as if what he had just experienced in the nightmare was real.
He dreamed that the fake Qiu Yongnian opened his sharp claws and strangled his neck, while the real Qiu Yongnian, Mr. Shen, Mr. Liu, Xiao Qi and others stood beside him.
There was a cold and mysterious smile on these people's faces.
But when he turned his eyes back to the fake Qiu Yongnian, he found that it was not him who was strangling him, but the woman with a brand on her head and a long scar on her left cheek...
call……
call……
It's already bright outside the window, and the warm sun is hanging high. It should be another sunny winter day.
Xu Zun wiped his sweat and realized that he was actually sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.
ah?
He suddenly remembered something important and quickly looked to the other side of the bed, only to see that the woman he had rescued was still lying there, lifeless.
Xu Zun quickly got out of bed and walked around to the other side, squatting down to check.
But I saw that the woman's eyes were still closed, her face was peaceful and she couldn't see any breathing.
Xu Zun quickly checked her breathing and found that it was not much different from last night, it was still very weak.
Although he couldn't feel the pulse, he still pinched the woman's wrist and felt her pulse.
Feeling the strong beating of his pulse, he finally felt relieved.
Last night, Xu Zun had been busy for a long time, feeding the woman rice soup, wiping her body with a warm cloth, and finally putting on clothes that didn't fit her well.
There is no way, the woman is petite and her home is filled with men's clothes.
I couldn't see clearly last night in the dark, but now that I'm looking at it, I feel that this woman is so real.
She was indeed very young, probably no more than 20 years old, and if she hadn't suffered this disaster, she would have been a pretty girl.
"Girl, wake up... wake up..."
After getting closer, Xu Zun pushed her gently.
However, the woman showed no response and showed no sign of waking up.
Tsk tsk...
Seeing the woman asleep and unconscious, Xu Zun smacked his lips repeatedly.
After the fake Qiu Yongnian incident last time, he was a little more wary. After all, this woman was tied by four chains, could it be... that she was also an extremely dangerous guy?
Although he looks petite, don't you know any peerless martial arts?
If she were really an ordinary woman, it would be enough for Mr. Shen to set up a prison-style cage. Why would he use chains?
But then again, this woman suffered from cold and starvation for many days, and was imprisoned underground for such a long time. Even if she really knew martial arts, could she still be his opponent?
Besides, looking at this woman's fair skin, she looks more like a lady from a wealthy family with a distinguished status, right?
well……
Seeing that the woman still didn't wake up, Xu Zun had no choice but to stand up.
When he looked up, he saw holes in the walls of his home and it was in a mess.
A few days ago, it was searched by Cai Kun and others, but none of the things had been put back. It looked as if the house had been ransacked.
Moreover, the most important thing now is how should I place this woman?
If someone came and found that there was a woman covered in injuries in their home, there would be no way to explain it.
If by any chance this information reaches the ears of Cai Kun and others, a big disaster may come.
But if she were put back into the cellar, her life would still be in danger if no one took care of her.
And today I have to go to Shen Mansion to keep vigil and cannot stay at home for a long time. What should I do?
How about... call Zhao Yu over?
no!
Xu Zun immediately denied it. It was not that he couldn't believe this Zhao Yu, but he couldn't believe it very much.
This person seems carefree, but in fact there are a lot of doubts about him, so you should never get too close to him.
Huo Anu?
So far, Huo Anu is the only person who reassures Xu Zun.
However, Huo Anu, like herself, respected Mr. Shen very much, so it was impossible for her not to keep vigil in front of the hall.
Calling her here at this time will probably arouse suspicion.
So……
After thinking for a long time, Xu Zun finally thought of a suitable candidate.
So, he immediately went outside the door, used a few copper coins to summon the nearby stall waiters, and asked them to help call someone...
After about half an hour, "good man" Liu Dong ran into Xu's house. It was such a cold winter that he was sweating profusely.
"Xu... Lieutenant Xu? Did you call me?" Liu Dong shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door, "I heard that you want me to be your housekeeper? Is it true?"
"That's right!" Xu Zun said loudly, "Liu Dong, you have helped me make great achievements this time, so I want to hire you as my housekeeper. Are you willing?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy!" Liu Dong knelt down in front of Xu Zun, "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it!"
"Haha..." Xu Zun picked him up with a smile and said, "Liu Dong, my family is in such a state now, what do you think we should do about it?"
"Don't worry, sir, don't worry, sir!" Liu Dong assured, "Give me some time, and I promise to clean up everything neatly. This is our responsibility as housekeepers, haha..."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Xu Zun gestured to the door with his eyes.
Liu Dong was indeed smart. He quickly turned around and closed the door of Xu's house, and smiled proudly at the people setting up stalls outside the door...
The door was closed and Liu Dong followed Xu Zun into the bedroom. When Liu Dong saw someone lying on Xu Zun's bed, he was immediately surprised.
"Sir...who is this?"
"Come," Xu Zun pulled Liu Dong to the woman and said seriously, "Let me introduce you. This is your wife. Her name... um... how about I give her one!?"
"..." Liu Dong was instantly confused and smoking.
"Her life is quite bitter," Xu Zun said seriously, "Why don't we just call her Ku Niang? What do you think?"
"Sir...sir..." Liu Dong pointed to the bed and asked, "Is this a woman?"
I'll pour it!
Xu Zun almost fell down and hurriedly extended his thumb and praised: "You're so blind!"
"Sir, sir...this..." Liu Dong was so confused that he quickly defended, "Xiwa's mother is still alive! Although I don't know which Yihongyuan she went to, what if she comes back one day? "
Xu Zun wanted to curse, but suddenly thought of something, he clapped his hands and said:
"Great!" He pointed at the woman on the bed, "She is your wife who ran back from outside, Xiwa's biological mother! Because she contracted leprosy from outside, she came back to you, and you took her in! I understand. Is it over?"
"..." Liu Dong is still confused no matter how smart he is.
"By the way," Xu Zun asked again, "What was your original wife's name? Or should you use her original name?"
"I...I don't know! Xiwa's mother's name is Xiaoqian? Xiaolian? Or Xiaoling...hey?" Liu Dong recalled seriously, "What's her name?"
"Okay!" Xu Zun wiped his cold sweat, "Then just call me Kuniang..."
…
At 4 o'clock in the morning, Shen Mansion.
Xu Zun settled everything at home and hurried back to Shen Mansion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a row of soldiers in armor in front of the memorial shed!
These soldiers all looked at themselves with strange eyes.
oh?
Xu Zun didn't know what happened and wanted to enter the funeral shed to ask.
Unexpectedly, two aggressive men suddenly rushed out of the funeral shed and stopped Xu Zun. One of them, a tall man wearing a military uniform, pointed at Xu Zun’s nose and cursed:
"Xu Paraman! You still dare to come to Shen's Mansion. You are a disaster star and you are not worthy of keeping vigil at my father's grave!"
"Yes, you are not welcome here," another man wearing a scarlet official uniform also yelled at Xu Zun arrogantly, "Get out of here..."
