When Jiang Rui appeared slowly from the bamboo forest with a lantern, everyone in the guard team’s eyes lit up. Guard Zhou even took two steps forward, with a bit of surprise and enthusiasm on his face. “It turns out to be Miss Qin from the kitchen. Why is Miss Qin here so late?”
Jiang Rui pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled: “During the day, Liu Liu and I were playing in the bamboo forest and accidentally dropped an earring. I was careless and didn’t notice it. I only found out after someone reminded me. Now I have come all night to look for it.”
Guard Zhou asked diligently: “Have you found it? Do you need my help?”
Jiang Rui shook her head hurriedly, “I found it. Look, it’s in my ear.”
She tilted her head, and a small silver earring with a lilac pattern swayed slightly in the night. It was small, cute, and charming.
“Let me take a look.” Zhou Huowei took another step forward and stretched out his hand abruptly.
Jiang Rui turned her head so quickly that she didn’t let him touch her ears, only lightly grazing the earrings.
Several other guards let out ambiguous chuckles.
Jiang Rui took a step back, with shame and annoyance hidden in her voice: “It’s late at night, so I won’t delay the guards’ errands. I’ll go first.”
After speaking, she left in a hurry.
Before she could get far, more and more wild laughter erupted from behind. One of the guards deliberately raised his voice and asked Guard Zhou: “Brother Zhou, do Miss Qin’s earrings feel cool to the touch?”
“Yeah, yeah, is it cool and happy?”
“Let’s talk to the brothers.”
The more they spoke, the more frivolous their tone became, occasionally interspersed with Guard Zhou’s flirtatious words “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Jiang Rui was behind a rockery not far away. When she heard their words, she sneered in her heart.
The earring just now was something she deliberately let Guard Zhou touch. If he dares to touch her, then he must be prepared not to act like a man for the next three months.
When the guards walked away, she returned to the bamboo forest. Ling Yuan was still inside, not even changing her posture.
Jiang Rui hesitated a little closer: “Are you…injured?”
Ling Yuan didn’t answer, but under the mask, he raised his eyes and glanced at her. He had a photographic memory, and when he heard her speak earlier, he recognized that this was the cook whom Liu Xingfeng always talked about.
He thought that she had just run out to bring the guards, but in the end, she sent them away. After sending them away, she ran back here again. Other than stupid words, he couldn’t think of any other way to describe what she did.
He didn’t speak, but she didn’t mind. She took out a few pastries wrapped in a handkerchief and handed them to him: “I don’t have any medicine. You can eat something. Once you’re full, see if you have the strength to leave. I know you are not from the village, so don’t come here again. Our Village Owner is a good person, but there are also bad people in the village, like those just now…”
She paused for a moment, and when she spoke again, she choked slightly, “Like the ones just now, they like to bully people the most. They are also good at martial arts and have a high status in the village. If you are caught by them, you will definitely not be able to escape.”
Ling Yuan still didn’t speak, nor reached out to pick it up. Jiang Rui had no choice but to put the cake next to him. “You can eat a little. Although I don’t know if you are a bad person, you should not be worse than them… I have to go back.”
She stood up and walked out. After walking a few steps, she seemed worried. Then, she turned back to him and said, “Don’t come here again. You won’t be able to escape if you are caught. Guard Zhou’s Kung Fu is very good.”
Ling Yuan sneered at hearing that she kept emphasizing that those few people were amazing just now.
Even that man Zhou’s few strokes can be called Kung Fu?
They are just fools. People only dare to cry in secret when they are bullied. Why cry? Just kill them.
