Chapter 122 Danger Surrounded
After dinner, my father went back to the study in the front yard without stopping. He didn’t even let my mother see him off and walked away quickly on his own.
Yes, I have wasted a lot of my father’s time.
It was very stuffy at night, so the nanny finally opened the window of the west room to let a little cool air into the room.
Wang Jinyi had a thin layer of sweat on his neck and body. It was this weather, and the curtains were still hanging. Although the curtains had been replaced with thin silk fabrics, it was still very stuffy, so he called out softly:
"Zhu Yu."
Zhu Yu, who was standing on the pedal, stood up and echoed:
"What's wrong, miss?"
Zhu Yu raised the bed curtains, and the nurse also stood up and groped on the table.
"Nurse, don't light the lamp. I'm fine. I just can't sleep because of the heat. Hang up the bed curtains. Don't let them down. It's too stuffy."
"Miss, it's the second dog days of summer. The weather is already hot. I'm afraid it's going to be sultry and rainy. After the rain, it may not be so sultry anymore, and the weather will get even hotter."
As the nurse spoke, she groped her way to the young lady's bedside in the moonlight and picked up a large cattail leaf fan to fan her.
… …
Under the street lamp on the corner of Gambling Street in Xunnan County, it was a sultry day and there were a lot of mosquitoes, making the light of the oil lamp flicker and mottled. Chen Sanlang lowered his head and read.
Yesterday when he went to deliver firewood to the private school, Mr. Xu gave Chen Sanlang all the review materials he used when he took the scholar exam. He also grabbed him and told him a lot. Chen Sanlang took careful notes on everything about the application, review, and exam affairs.
But he knew that it was impossible for him to take the exam this year because he had too many books to read.
We will have to wait until at least the next session before we can make our final decision.
In the next term, he kept praying in his heart, praying that Wang Jinyi would be successful if he didn't find her. He would have to wait for another three years, and he didn't know if Wang Jinyi could wait for these three years?
Chen Sanlang didn't know whether he felt pain or heat in his heart, and a feeling of irritation surged in his heart.
Although Chen Sanlang knew that he would be better at reviewing and have more reliable references in three years, he should be more confident. He was full of confidence in himself and believed that he was capable, but he didn't know what Wang Jinyi's current situation was.
What kind of condition is she in now? Chen Sanlang was extremely anxious.
Since I went to Wenmofang to copy books, I have looked up the county annals and checked the maps.
He secretly wrote down all the places related to the surname Wang on the map. But strangely, although the surname Wang is a common surname, there are not many Wangjia villages.
Chen Sanlang had to save money and go out to find someone. In order to find Wang Jinyi, he was silently making preparations.
I wonder what kind of family Wang Jinyi was born into in this life, what opportunities she will have, what kind of life she is living now, who are the people in her family, has she suffered, has she been bullied?
Whenever he thought of this, Chen Sanlang couldn't calm down. He felt so depressed that he was about to explode, but he had no place to vent.
In this sultry day, Chen Sanlang was particularly irritable today and couldn't read a single word.
Although I knew it was wrong, I still looked up at the dark sky in a daze.
There was not a single star in the sky, not a single light could be seen. The thick clouds also covered the moon. Only the light of the street lamp on the corner was left, shining lonely in the empty and deserted street.
The air was stuffy and there was not a breath of wind. Chen Sanlang put the book in his arms, carried the oil bottle and walked to a big tree, and took out the nest from the rattan basket.
He took out a straw rope from the basket, lit it, put it beside him to repel mosquitoes, and then gnawed the dry nest bite by bite. Raindrops fell little by little until the street lamp on the corner went out. Chen Sanlang realized that the rain was getting heavier. He quickly got up, covered the lamp in the rain, picked up the oil bottle, and ran to the side door of the gambling house with the basket on his back.
After entering the gambling house, there was no one in the yard and the backyard was very quiet. Chen Sanlang didn't think much about it. He closed the door and put the basket under the eaves under the door.
He went into the front hall to return the oil bottle. There was strange silence in the hall and Chen Sanlang didn't see anyone, so he put the oil bottle on the counter. Later, he took it down and put it in a corner on the ground. Then he was about to come out to get the basket, but something came with the wind and hit the back of his head.
Chen Sanlang subconsciously turned his head and fell down, at the same time grabbing something on the ground and throwing it at the black shadow.
Afterwards, he found himself falling to the ground with half of a person's arm flying out. Seeing someone chasing him with a knife, Chen Sanlang rolled on the ground with his head turning rapidly.
After his hands resisted subconsciously, they turned around and something happened in the gambling house!
In the dark night, it is impossible for the gambling house to be silent and without business. The only possibility is that there are robbers who are robbing each other.
In the gap of rolling, Chen Sanlang pulled out something from his waist and threw it at the killer, who dodged quickly.
He didn't expect that the young man who was forced to roll over and over by him actually had martial arts skills. At this moment, Chen Sanlang jumped up from the ground and pounced on the person who came.
Chen Sanlang only had thin bamboo strips in his hand. His family had no money to buy a paper cutter, so he specially trimmed the bamboo strips into thin strips and used them to cut paper.
The bamboo stick pierced straight into the opponent's body, and the killer screamed. The next moment, there were finally human voices around, all of which were murderous howls, mixed with the sounds of things colliding with each other.
The sounds of shouting and killing were mixed together in the gambling house.
The room was filled with shouting and screaming.
Before Chen Sanlang could react and figure out where the sound came from, someone was shouting,
"Light watchman, the steward is upstairs, go quickly..."
"The one who watches the lights..."
Someone behind him continued to shout at him, and finally someone broke through the front hall door and knocked open all the closed doors.
The shopkeeper in the front hall and several injured thugs retreated to Chen Sanlang's side. Chen Sanlang looked and saw that his side was unarmed, while the men in black who were chasing them were holding long knives. Chen Sanlang took off his shirt, wrapped it around his left arm, and held a sharp blade made from half a pair of scissors on his waist in his hand.
The shopkeeper and some of the thugs understood what was going on, so they took off their clothes and wrapped them around their left arms to guard against the opponent's long knife, freeing their right hands to prepare for counterattack.
Before everyone was ready, the masked man in black had already rushed over. Chen Sanlang knew that in terms of strength, he was no match for the other party, and in terms of numbers, his side was also at a disadvantage. He had never killed anyone or fought a war in his two lives together. He only joined the free fighting club in college, and that was entirely to protect Wang Jinjinyi.
I wanted to practice my skills at that time, but I didn't stick with it for too long. I spent most of the time in the club activities to see Wang Jinyi or prepare gifts for her...
When thinking of Wang Jinyi, Chen Sanlang only had one thought left, he couldn't get into trouble! Wang Jinyi hadn't been found yet, if anything happened to him, what would happen to Wang Jinyi! If she got into trouble, she would have no hope at all, and then she would be helpless.
Thinking of this, Chen Sanlang no longer retreated. In an instant, he calmed his mind. Seeing the long sword coming at him, Chen Sanlang raised his left arm to block it, and at the same time stabbed at the man in black with his right hand. Unexpectedly, the long sword was a feint and swept across his waist from the left.
