This twelfth lunar month passed quickly, and now there are less than ten days left before the New Year.In the past, Zhou Qingwu, who was alone, didn't like Chinese New Year the most. In the days of family reunion, the excitement belonged to others, and the reunion belonged to others, but her loneliness multiplied like other people's joy and excitement.

But this year she was looking forward to it, and the first year she spent with Meng Chuxi must be unforgettable.

Here they are preparing for the New Year with full of anticipation, but there are some people who are already desperate.Zhou Xiaowu was walking back to the village alone, his face was swollen, his whole body was in a trance, and he was very depressed.He regretted and resented for a while, and his eyes changed again and again.At that time, he thought he was lucky, and even won two bets, and the stake was doubled again and again.

Dazed by the easy money, his gambling became more and more powerful, and he refused to stop. In the end, he not only lost everything, but also owed a gambling debt, because he was beaten half to death because he couldn't afford it. When he came out, the debt collector threatened that if he didn't pay it back years ago, he would come to the door and cut off his hand on New Year's Eve!

"Bah!" He spat, and when those bastards were playing together, Little Fifth Brother, Little Fifth Brother yelled, turning their faces and denying anyone when they were collecting debts!

Thinking of the written evidence written in black and white, the amount on it would not be paid even if he was killed, a thought in his heart continued to swell in this greed and despair, and a fierceness flashed across those sunken eyes.

It had been three days since the Polygonum multiflorum was sold, and Meng Chuxi was still alert at night, and Aunt Liu deliberately tied the rhubarb in their yard, but it was always peaceful, and the two felt at ease for the time being.

Most people thought that they just sold Polygonum multiflorum as a medicinal material, and it was only a few bucks at most. Although they were envious in the eyes of the villagers, it was not enough to make them bold enough to take risks.

On the night of December 21, the moon rises from Dongshan Mountain and hangs in the sky, complete and bright.Suddenly there was a slight movement near Zhou Qingwu's small courtyard.

Rhubarb, who was lying in the kennel outside the yard, moved his ears and opened his eyes, staring at a ball of rice bumps rolling in front of him, and sniffing.It flicked its front paws a few times, finally couldn't bear the smell, and opened its mouth to eat the rice ball smeared with lard.

After a cup of tea time, a clod of soil hit the big yellow dog, and the big yellow just moved silently, and then a black shadow came down from behind the grass pile on the hillside, aiming at this courtyard.

Obviously he came prepared, a thin sharp knife was inserted through the crack of the door, and although it was more difficult than last time after tossing for a while, he still managed to enter the house.

Carefully paying attention to the movement, he touched the window, leaned against it and listened for a while, then took out the knife and continued to tinker with the window.

There was a slight click, and the wooden peg against the window was pushed open by the tip of the knife, and the window was loosened by a crack.The window that was not very transparent was pushed in, and the moonlight in the room instantly brightened, reflecting the vaguely arranged and simple room inside.

The visitor was beating very fast, bending over and holding his breath, he saw the two people sleeping on the bed through a little moonlight in the darkness, but he couldn't tell who was the mute.

He swallowed nervously, it was clearly deep winter, but a layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.The desperate look in the eyes on the masked black scarf slipped by, he took out two square scarves from his arms, bent down and crept closer, one step, two steps, three steps, he was already close at hand!

He clenched his teeth, clenched the square scarf tightly in his hand, and rushed directly to the faces of the two of them.

It's just that the moment he rushed over, he clearly saw the woman sleeping on the outside suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hands and forcibly grabbed his hands and pushed them aside.Although he exerted all his strength, he was caught off guard that the cloth towel in his hand didn't cover anyone at all.

"Qingwu, get up!" Meng Chuxi has been awakened by some dreams at night recently, which originally disturbed her, but tonight they helped her a lot.

Fearing that Zhou Qingwu would be injured if he was not awake, Meng Chuxi woke her up loudly, and immediately shouted: "Come here, a thief is stealing something!"

The visitor was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back. Seeing that Zhou's mood was also awakened, he suddenly exerted strength and broke free from his hands.Meng Chuxi raised her leg and swept across, kicking the person staggeringly.

The man who was swept to the end of the bed was stunned. Looking at the two people whose faces were full of fear, and hearing Meng Chuxi calling out for someone, his eyes suddenly turned red.

He immediately got up and grabbed Meng Chuxi's hand, pushed him onto the bed fiercely, took out the knife on his back waist with his right hand, and stabbed Meng Chuxi directly.

Zhou Qingwu was awakened when the man rushed over and missed, and Meng Chuxi's cry made her wake up in an instant, but she froze there.

Three years ago, after she saw that gang of robbers killed her parents, she was terrified of this scene.At this moment, when she saw someone breaking in, the terrifying images that had been sealed in her heart surged out in a frenzy, making her tremble like a sieve.

Her face was pale, and the painful wailing of her parents and the guy who delivered the goods echoed in her ears, which made her almost go crazy.

The knife was lifted up under the moonlight, and the gleaming cold light was reflected in her eyes, and then stabbed towards Meng Chuxi.At this moment, a string in her mind suddenly snapped, Chu Xi!

The thin and small body was obviously still trembling uncontrollably one moment, but the next moment it was as fast as lightning, and it rushed directly towards it viciously.She firmly grasped the opponent's hand holding the knife, and pushed the knife away with the force of rushing forward.

There was a muffled sound followed by a snort, and the knife fell directly from Meng Chuxi's ear through the bedding and nailed to the bed.And Meng Chuxi's eyes widened suddenly, the knife suddenly overlapped with the image that flashed in her mind, the knife with a cold light stabbed at her mercilessly, exuding the breath of death, killing and devouring blood!

A force in her body was completely out of her control. The next moment, her grasped right hand spun and clasped the man's wrist, and there was only a click, and the chilling sound was accompanied by a scream again. pierced the silence of the night sky.

But this was just the beginning, Meng Chuxi twisted her body and fell off the couch, her right hand grabbed the opponent's hand holding the knife as fast as lightning, and she took off his knife in one stroke, pulling and pulling him hard He fell to the ground, and his right knee suddenly pressed against his waist with all the strength of his body. There was another crisp sound, and the scream was almost broken.

This series of actions was as swift as a gust of wind, and when Meng Chuxi regained consciousness, he found that he had knocked someone down to the ground.Unbelievable, Meng Chuxi immediately got up and quickly took two steps back, looking at her hands.

Immediately, her eyes fell on Zhou Qingwu who was paralyzed on the bed, and she completely broke away from the bewildered emotion just now, and called out anxiously: "Qingwu!"

She jumped over the moaning and groaning man lying on the ground, and hugged Zhou Qingwu.The little girl was cold all over, her little face was already blue under the moonlight, and her body was trembling badly.Her big eyes were full of fear and panic, she stared at Meng Chuxi, her lips were trembling, but finally she closed her eyes and passed out.

Meng Chuxi only felt a sinking in her arms, and her heart was quickly lifted to her throat, and she said in a panic: "Qingwu, Qingwu!" She reached out to hold her hand, but felt that it was slippery.Meng Chuxi's hands and feet felt cold, so she hurried to look down at her hands, it was clearly covered with blood.

"Qingwu, Qingwu, come here, save people! Save people!"

The peaceful small mountain village started to become chaotic in the middle of the night. Zhou Shishan and his son got up and rushed to Zhou Qingwu's house with hoes and sticks.People nearby who heard the noise got up and ran over there.

Although they don't like to see Zhou Qingwu very much on weekdays, they will not sit idly by when someone enters the house and steals.There was a lot of people's voices, dogs barking one after another, and the silence of the night was completely broken.

It wasn't until dawn of the second day that the noise and bustle gradually subsided.The person who came in last night confirmed that it was Zhou Xiaowu, who had been tied up and carried away by the village chief, and Meng Chuxi had carefully put away the blood-stained knife.

Since the accident happened in the middle of the night, the villagers who came over took care of the matter and left, and the house was very quiet.Meng Chuxi was sitting by the couch, with a tired face and bloodshot eyes, staring blankly at Zhou Qingwu who was still asleep.

The shocking scene from last night kept reappearing in her mind. Meng Chuxi closed her eyes, with a pained and annoyed expression on her face.Before the blood on the quilt could be dealt with, Meng Chuxi took a look, and carefully lifted Zhou Qingwu's hand out of the quilt.

Zhou Qingwu wrapped a white cloth around his hands a few times, and he couldn't see the blood inside, but Meng Chuxi clearly remembered the unfolded skin and flesh during the bandage.Last night Zhou Qingwu stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Xiaowu's hand, but in a panic, his right hand hit the blade of the knife, and the knife pierced his palm, and his skin was ripped apart.

Later, when she took the knife, it was completely stimulated by this body, and she remembered the self-defense made in the scene when the original owner was hunted down, and didn't notice that the little girl was still holding the knife tightly, which was another injury.

Meng Chuxi's heart twitched, how painful it was to just hold the knife like this.Last night Zhou Qingwu's trembling appearance was deeply imprinted in Zhou Qingwu's mind. She never imagined that the little girl would dare to rush over to grab the knife in that state.

I can't tell what it's like in my heart, like ants eating my heart, the delicate pain has an ungraspable sourness.This silly child turned her head to look carefully. Fortunately, the medicine left by her previous injury can still be used, and the bleeding has stopped, but the little girl has been in a coma for two hours. Meng Chuxi is still anxious and can only wait for Aunt Liu. The son went to help her and invited Du Zhong to come.

Zhou Qingwu's appearance last night was really abnormal. Now Meng Chuxi guessed that it might be related to the accident that happened to her parents, and felt more and more distressed about Zhou Qingwu.Even when the child was asleep, she couldn't hide her fear, and her brows were tightly furrowed. Meng Chuxi reached out and gently stroked her forehead, comforting her in a low voice.

A moment later, Meng Chuxi tucked the quilt up for Zhou Qingwu, turned her head and listened to the movement from far to near outside, frowned, got up and went out the door.

Before I could see who was coming, an old woman rushed over, crying and yelling: "You poisonous woman, my son has been hurt so badly by you! "

The two men next to her quickly pulled her away, Meng Chuxi frowned, and took two steps back unhurriedly.Although it came suddenly, from the words in her mouth, Meng Chuxi immediately knew who it was.

"What are you bringing her here for?" Meng Chuxi didn't even look at the old woman, but only focused on the two men who brought her here, her voice was indifferent and cold.

She was not familiar with these two people, Aunt Liu came over after hearing the news and said in a low voice, "These are Zhou Xiaowu's two cousins, from the Yang Family Village next door."

One of the tall men looked solemn, pulled his aunt back, and said in a deep voice: "My aunt loves my cousin, and she was impulsive just now. She is old, Miss Meng, don't bother with her. I just asked the doctor to look at it today. , my cousin's arm was broken, his waist was seriously injured and his legs couldn't move, so..."

"Oh, that's why he brought his old mother to my place to make trouble? So what if his arm is broken or his waist is broken? Do you think you can come to me to seek justice?" Meng Chuxi's tone was very calm, her amber eyes were restrained With a gloomy look, it was full of coldness when looking at them.

"Why are you so vicious, woman? He didn't steal anything. He's all from the same village. It's enough for the village chief to teach you a lesson. You almost ruined the rest of his life!"

Meng Chuxi was so angry that he sneered and stared at the shabby old lady Zhou with gray temples: "Are you really stupid or do you know nothing? Your son broke into the house and stole it. The handkerchief of the medicine. After we failed to faint, he took out the knife that he carried with him and prepared to kill me by the knife. Qingwu was scratched by him in order to save me and is now unconscious. I will not go to you, but you actually brought someone to the door ? Heh, didn’t the Dayan Dynasty have laws? Say something that ruined the rest of his life, let’s go to the court and talk about it.”

The old woman trembled when she heard this. Although her son is not a weapon, he is the only child of her old Zhou family. Burglary and wounding with a knife will go to court. This is a felony!

Thinking of her lying on the ground and crying loudly, she got up and knelt and begged Meng Chuxi: "He is just obsessed with ghosts, how could he kill people? You two girls, if he really did something, how could you be okay. I don't know." If I trouble you, I won't hold him accountable if you hurt him, just let him go."

The disgust on Meng Chuxi's face could no longer be concealed. When the other party knelt down and wanted to grab her, she took two steps back mercilessly, and said lightly: "I used to pity his old mother for raising such a crazy son, but now it seems, I feel sorry for him, with a mother like you, it's no wonder he has such a virtue."

Granny Zhou's complexion changed in an instant after hearing her words, and she swallowed her sobbing back, covering her chest and pointing at Meng Chuxi, rolling her eyes intermittently.

The two men quickly gave her comfort, and said to Meng Chuxi: "As a junior, I don't have half respect for the elders. Didn't your parents teach you?"

Meng Chuxi frowned: "I forgot to tell you, I don't remember the past at all, so I don't remember to respect the elders, but the etiquette, righteousness and shame, killing people and paying debts are more clear than you."

"Last night, he was merciless. No matter if you were aggressive or threatening, I can't let him go. It's better to save your energy and go back." After she finished speaking, she nodded to Mrs. Liu, with apologetic eyes, and turned around back to the house.

She was really angry to the extreme, and seeing this group of people, she was about to lose control.
