She was about to make a move...
"Adults, all of you, please don’t rush."
Su Sikong, with a smile full of ulterior motives, stepped forward from the front: "These are just ordinary village girls, how could they be fit to pour tea and serve wine for you all? How could they ever catch your eyes?"
The soldiers finally restrained their hands, hesitantly looking at Su Sikong.
"Tonight, Su will host. Let’s have fun together, I’ll make sure those girls who can sing minstrel tunes are at your service, they are the ones who know how to serve you...What do you say? Ha ha ha..."
Su Sikong was laughing heartily, making welcoming gestures with his hands.
Finally, several leading soldiers were pleased: "Since Deputy County Magistrate Su has invited us, naturally we will respectfully comply. However, we’re still on duty, and that won’t work. We have to wait until we’re done with this job here, then we’ll be free. Ha ha..."
"Indeed, indeed, duty first. But we have to eat while on duty too, right? I’ve already ordered people to prepare so dishes, everyone will be more spirited after a full al, won’t they?"
Su Sikong and the village chief bowed, quickly stuffing sothing into the hands of the leading soldiers.
The soldiers understood, laughing heartily and ordering the other soldiers to release the won. They followed Su Sikong into the house in the back.
Su Sikong didn’t hide from the crowd, and naturally Su Pan’er saw that he had quickly stuffed silver taels into their hands earlier!
Could it be that Su Sikong had spent so much silver for the villagers?
Su Pan’er was slightly surprised!
The little Bama pig in her arms kicked a hoof: "Pan’er, I just went ho, and I saw soone in the house."
"Oh, it’s good that there were people."
Su Pan’er absent-mindedly nodded her head.
Suddenly she sensed sothing was not right, and quickly lowered her head to it: "People? Who, aren’t just Qin Yi and Ke Er at ho?"
"They are at ho!"
The little Bama pig seriously said: "But, besides them, there are two more people, those two people we t in the cave last ti!"
Those two people?
Could it be referring to Fei’er and Fifth Uncle?
Su Pan’er jerked her head around, looking at the soldiers who had not yet retreated, their indifferent eyes scanning the crowd.
Could it be...
Su Pan’er felt tight at heart!
She slowly withdrew from the crowd, quietly running towards ho.
One person and one pig carefully avoided the guards who were searching along the way and quickly went around to the back of the village, heading straight to the old Qin Family residence.
The old residence was unusually quiet.
When they reached the courtyard, Su Pan’er stopped.
The little Bama pig stood tall with its fan-shaped ears, listening intently.
"Pan’er, there are people in the house, they haven’t left yet. Do we have to go in? Pan’er, that man is too dangerous, he only has thoughts of killing people in his heart! He’s always thinking about how to kill people. Why don’t we leave first, and co back after they leave. Pan’er, Pan’er..."
Wait for him to leave?
What about Ke Er in the house? And Qin Yi...
Su Pan’er’s vision swayed with the laughing face of Ke Er, and with Qin Yi’s gentle and smiling face, looking softly at her.
She couldn’t help but reach out to the firewood knife...
But ca up empty-handed!
Right, she went to sweep the tomb early this morning and didn’t bring it with her. She always forgets!
Suddenly, she felt a cold and bloody atmosphere erupting from inside the house, as if standing by the abyss of death, chilling to the bone!
The chittering little Bama pig by her side seed to have its neck cut off, unable to say a word!
Su Pan’er’s eyebrows tightened.
No matter what, she had to find a way to rescue Ke Er and Qin Yi!
She jumped directly to the courtyard.
"Pan’er, co back! You co back quickly, that man is too dangerous! Pan’er..."
The little pig suddenly let out a shrill squeal!
Su Pan’er continued her steady and calm walk towards the main gate.
Her steps seed to float.
She quickly arrived and stopped at the gate.
There was not a single sound from inside the house.
Su Pan’er took a deep breath, a smile slowly etching onto her face, "Qin Yi, Qin Yi, Ke’er! Are you all ho?"
As she spoke, she slowly reached out her hand to open the bamboo door and with a slight creak, what lay inside revealed itself to Su Pan’er.
Qin Yi and Ke’er sat on chairs to her left and right, both staring intently at her, neither one uttering a word.
No one else was in sight.
But that killing intent lood ever thicker, almost becoming solid! It firmly locked on her at the door entrance. It seed like at any mont, it would strike directly above her head!
"Pan’er, you’re back?"
Qin Yi, sitting in the chair, suddenly spoke, "Pan’er, your father ca looking for you a while ago, saying he had sothing urgent to discuss with you. He went to look for you at the Grain Drying Field, you want to go take a look?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Four sister, dad is... looking for you, you should quickly go and see!"
Ke’er from the side joined in, while casting a glance at Qin Yi.
"My father? How could that be possible?"
Su Pan’er chuckled lightly, she stepped into the house and deftly shut the door behind her.
"I just saw him on the way back, and he didn’t say anything." While speaking, she casually walked a few steps forward.
"Wait!"
Qin Yi swiftly stopped her, seeming quite anxious, "Your father-in-law did have sothing to discuss with you earlier, maybe he just forgot? You should go and check."
"Maybe he really forgot."
Su Pan’er casually brushed so stray hair away from her cheek, stealthily removed the hairpin from her hair and held it in her hand, all while maintaining a smile, "I’m so thirsty, I’ll have so water inside before I go."
After saying that, she turned towards the kitchen.
Although it was montary, she saw quite clearly! A shadow was lurking behind Qin Yi!
Her figure suddenly sprang forward, directly aiming for the space behind Qin Yi.
And just as she was about to aim her hairpin at the assailant’s throat, a long sword was already being held against Qin Yi’s neck!
"Don’t move!"
"Stop!"
The sa words were simultaneously shouted from both Su Pan’er and the other person’s mouths!
The shadowy figure was suddenly exposed in front of Su Pan’er.
As Su Pan’er had expected, it indeed was Fei’er’s Fifth Uncle.
She was a step too late!
Regret surged in Su Pan’er’s heart!
So close, yet so far!
Even though she was a step faster in striking, the five-step distance and the length difference between her hairpin and his long sword made her plan to seize the initiative instantly fall apart.
She lost, a result she couldn’t really accept.
Right, where is Fei’er?
Her eyes, sharp as lightning, swept swiftly, and from the corner of her eye, she spotted a petite figure crouching behind Ke’er.
In barely a flash, Su Pan’er abruptly halted her forward charge, and in mid-air, she twisted herself around and landed on the other side, pointing her hairpin right onto Fei’er’s neck.
"You, let him go! Release him!"
Seeing Ke’er restrained, Fifth Uncle roared with fierce rebuke.
"Let him go? That line is mine to say."
Su Pan’er pushed the hairpin slightly more into Fei’er’s neck, "Release him, or else, my hairpin won’t discriminate!"
