RUMOR HAS IT THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH HIS HIGHNESS' CHILD - Chapter 626
Chapter 626 Trap
After separating from the talkative farmer, Yu Niaoyou walked towards Xinghua Hutong while eating tofu curd.
Xiao Juan asked: “What are you doing in Xinghua Hutong?”
Yu Youyou honestly told him her purpose.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Juan firmly disagreed.
“What if this is a trap? We can’t go.”
Yu Niaoyou became anxious immediately: “But the wound medicine is almost used up, if we don’t find a way to buy medicine, your injury will never heal!”
Xiao Juan was very calm about this.
“My injury is fine, and it doesn’t matter if I don’t use medicine.”
Yu Niaoyou: “How can it be okay? Your wound is inflamed, you must use medicine!”
Xiao Juan turned around and walked in the opposite direction to Xinghua Hutong, and said, “I know my own body very well. I will be fine. You don’t have to worry.”
Yu Niaoyou stared at his back and stomped her feet fiercely.
“Okay! You don’t want to go, do you? Then I will go alone!”
After speaking, she turned and ran towards Xinghua Hutong.
Xiao Juan had no choice but to turn around and catch up with her in great strides.
He grabbed Yu Youyou’s hand: “Don’t mess around!”
Yu Niaoyou turned her head, stared at him with red eyes, and said with a sob.
“Do you know that if the wound is seriously inflamed, it is possible to die! If you die, what do you want me to do? Are you going to leave me alone?”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
Yu Niaoyou: “I don’t want you to die, I want you to stay with me all the time, just stay with me like this, never separate, woo woo woo!”
Xiao Juan felt sore and soft in his heart.
He reached out and clasped the back of her head, pressing her into his arms.
“Okay, don’t cry, I won’t die.”
Pedestrians passing by looked sideways, and countless eyes fell on the two of them.
Yu Niao continued to cry like no one else was there: “Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Xiao Juan tilted the oil-paper umbrella towards her, blocking the eyes of passers-by.
He whispered: “Let’s go to Xinghua Hutong to buy medicine together.”
Yu Niaolang’s crying stopped abruptly.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Juan with watery eyes.
“No regrets.”
Xiao Juan was very helpless: “Yes.”
Yu Niao laughed again through tears, and immediately pulled Xiao Juan forward.
Xiao Juan reminded: “Slow down, be careful not to spill the bean curd in the bowl, I have to return the bowl later.”
Yu Youyou handed over the remaining half bowl of bean curd.
“I can’t finish eating, please help me eat.”
Xiao Juan had no choice but to take the bowl, and ate the remaining bean curd in two or three mouthfuls. When he passed the stall selling bean curd, he returned the empty bowl to the boss.
The two came to Xinghua Hutong, Yu Niao was about to go to knock on the door, but Xiao Juan stopped her.
“You wait here, I can go in alone.”
Yu Youyou nodded: “Okay, I’ll respond outside. If there is any problem inside, you can call.”
Xiao Juan: “If I haven’t come out, you can go.”
Yu Youyou pursed her lower lip, very unhappy: “Can you stop saying such things?”
Xiao Juan touched her head: “Okay, I won’t talk about it.”
He took out the small bamboo stick and hid it in his sleeve, then handed the bundle and the oiled paper umbrella to Yu Niaoyou.
“I am leaving.”
“Um.”
Xiao Juan didn’t knock on the door, but climbed over the courtyard wall with the help of lightness kung fu, and sneaked into the house quietly.
The hutong is very quiet, with high courtyard walls on both sides, so the sunlight cannot come in.
Yu Niao put away the oil-paper umbrella and stood against the wall, feeling very nervous.
I hope everything goes well for Xiao Juan.
It’s a pity that God doesn’t let her get what she wants.
Suddenly, there was the crisp sound of weapons colliding behind the wall, mixed with chaotic footsteps and shouts.
“Quick! Stop him! Don’t let him run over the wall”
Yu Niaoyou was startled, and immediately looked up, just in time to see Xiao Juan flying up the wall.
But in the next moment, pursuers also appeared on the wall.
Xiao Juan held the No Return Knife, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
“Curly, open an umbrella!”
Yu Youyou didn’t know why, but she subconsciously obeyed his words and quickly opened the oil-paper umbrella.
At the same time, the No Return Knife in Xiao Juan’s hand cut the neck of the pursuer in front of him.
The bright red blood spattered out, fell like rain, and landed on the oiled paper umbrella in a trickle.
The originally plain white umbrella surface was dyed a dazzling blood.
Immediately afterwards, the body of the pursuer fell to the courtyard wall and fell heavily on the ground.
Yu Niaoyou was so frightened that she took two steps back, her hand holding the oil-paper umbrella trembled slightly.
Xiao Juan dealt with the two pursuers, jumped off the courtyard wall, and grabbed Yu Niaoyou’s hand.
“Walk!”
The two left the town as quickly as possible.
House seemingly endless rain.
It was a sunny day and suddenly dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and it was about to rain heavily.
Xiao Juan speeded up and ran forward with Yu Niao.
After a while, rainwater fell.
Fortunately, Yu Niao didn’t throw away the oil-paper umbrella, and the rain fell on the umbrella surface, diluting the blood remaining on the umbrella surface.
The two ran along the mountain road for a long time, until it was dark before they found a long-abandoned mountain temple in the mountain.
The mountain temple is dilapidated, but at least it can keep out the wind and rain.
Xiao Juan found some dry wood in the temple, and lit it with the torch he carried with him.
The fire exudes a steady stream of warmth, diluting the cold brought by the rainy night.
Yu Niaoyou took off her wet coat and put it by the fire to bake.
She said to Xiao Juan: “You also take off your clothes and bake them.”
Xiao Juan leaned his back on the pillar, and said softly: “I’ll rest for a while, and bake later.”
Yu Niaoyou asked: “Are those people who chased us down just now officers and soldiers?”
Recalling the scene just now, Xiao Juan’s eyes darkened slightly.
“no.”
Yu Niaoyou was a little surprised: “Then why are they chasing us?”
Xiao Juan spit out two words lightly: “Bounty.”
Yu Niaoyou was stunned: “They came to hunt us down to get one thousand taels of gold?”
Xiao Juan explained calmly.
“They should be in the same group as the pharmacy clerk. The pharmacy clerk uses their status to find the target, and lures the person to the agreed place. If the person who is lured there is really a wanted criminal, they can logically take the head and go to collect it.” Bounty, take a step back and say that even if they are not wanted criminals, they can still take the opportunity to extort a small amount of money, and they will not lose anything.”
Yu Niao lowered her head: “So it was a trap from beginning to end, and I almost killed you.”
Xiao Juan comforted: “They acted carefully, obviously this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, if such scumbags are kept, they will only harm more people. Don’t dare to harm people anymore, we are doing harm to the people in a disguised form.”
Yu Niaoyou clenched her small fists: “I will be more careful in the future.”
Seeing that she soon cheered up again, Xiao Juan felt relieved.
He closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.
By taking advantage of the firelight in front of him, Yu Niaoyou noticed that his expression was not quite right, so she hurriedly asked.
“Ah Juan, is there something wrong with you?”
Xiao Juan opened his eyes: “I’m fine.”
Yu Niaoyou is not so easy to fool, so she said directly.
“You take off your clothes, I want to see the wound on your back.”
