However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sound from Qi Lu's side, as if he was already in a deep sleep. "You're still protecting me like this." Ye Meng cursed him in her heart. She got up and looked at Qi Lu.
The quilt that should have been protruding from the ground was now flat on the ground." Qi Lu?”Ye Meng got up and walked over. She lifted the blanket on the floor and saw that Qi Lu was nowhere to be seen. She was afraid that this person had already left.
"Where did he go at the critical moment?" Ye Meng angrily stepped on the blanket that Qi Lu had laid out. Where would Qi Lu go in the middle of the night? And he didn't even tell me. Could it be an emergency?
"Di Ling Ling." The bell outside the window was getting louder and louder. Ye Meng didn't think too much about it anymore. She tiptoed to the window and carefully pushed it open a small gap. She saw a black square thing quickly flash across the street.
What was that? Ye Meng was about to open the window to see what it was. Suddenly, a pale face appeared in front of her. Her eyes were still bleeding. Ye Meng was so frightened that she closed the window and quickly locked it.
Through the thin paper partition on the window, a shadow was floating back and forth outside her window. It would giggle from time to time and hit her window side by side. It was very strange.
Ye Meng grabbed the big teapot by the table and leaned against the back of the table. She looked at the window warily, thinking that if that thing dared to suddenly rush in, she would smash the teapot.
Of course, she still didn't believe that ghosts existed in this world. When she opened the window, although she was indeed frightened by the pale face, she also smelled a familiar smell.
The smell of chicken blood. The smell on the face just now was not strong. Under normal circumstances, he believed that under sudden threats, he would not notice it for a moment. It was very likely that he really thought that it was human blood.
However, Ye Meng had been doing forensic tests for so long that she could smell human blood even in her dreams. Therefore, she realized that something was wrong as soon as she calmed down.
However, this was a pretty good discovery. As long as it was chicken blood, it proved that the face just now was not the so-called ghost face. It was just a person pretending.
At the thought of this, he was no longer afraid of the " thing " outside. However, at this time, the " person " was still hitting the window over and over again, as if he was determined to break the window open.
Meanwhile, the window frame was getting looser and looser. Ye Meng looked at the frame carefully while cursing Qi Lu. He was not here at this time. It was too much.
Although she knew that there was only one person outside the window, she was still a person who did not know martial arts. If the other party rushed in, she would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Could it be that he would have to die here in just a few days? Ye Meng felt a little depressed.
All of a sudden, the window was completely smashed open. The white figure quickly rushed towards Ye Meng. Ye Meng reflexively threw the teapot in her hand. The figure easily dodged and continued to move towards her.
Ye Meng couldn't care less now. She threw everything she saw over there. There was the sound of things falling to the ground, accompanied by the occasional sound of porcelain breaking.
In the end, he was forced into a corner. There was nothing left to throw away. Ye Meng picked up a chair and placed it in front of her." Who are you?"”
"People who are about to die don't need to know." The white shadow opened its mouth. Under the moonlight, Ye Meng saw the pair of eyes that were smeared with chicken blood. They were terrifying and ferocious, and there was a strong murderous intent in their eyes.
It seemed that the other party was determined to kill her. Ye Meng did not dare to be careless at this moment. Her mind was running at high speed as she thought of how to escape or stall for time until Qi Lu, that scammer, came back.
However, the white shadow didn't give her any chance to stall for time. It jumped straight in her direction, snatched the chair from her hand, and threw it on the ground. Ye Meng heard a series of collision sounds coming from somewhere in the room.
In the next second, the other party suddenly grabbed his neck. Ye Meng found it hard to breathe. The air in her chest seemed to have been sucked dry, and she desperately needed oxygen.
Her two hands grabbed the man's hands tightly, and she kept kicking her feet, hoping to make herself feel better. However, the other party's strength increased.
Ye Meng felt like she was about to faint from lack of oxygen. Her blood was not flowing smoothly and stopped above her neck. At this moment, she felt that her face was burning hot and the people in front of her were a little blurry. It seemed that there were several figures in front of her.
Was he going to die just like that? Ye Meng was almost choked to death, but she didn't want to die like this. In her previous life, it was already tragic enough to be taken hostage by a robber and accidentally lose her life. It was not easy for the heavens to give her a chance and let her live again, but she did not expect the same ending.
Could it be that she had done something heinous in her life that the heavens had punished her like this?
Towards the end, even Ye Meng didn't know what she was thinking. Just as she was about to faint, she suddenly felt the hand on her neck loosen.
The fresh air quickly followed her nose and returned to her lungs. She subconsciously took a few deep breaths. For the first time, she realized that the air was so cute, and she did not notice the sounds of fighting in her ears.
Then, everything turned dark. Ye Meng fainted completely.
Ye Meng didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day, but her head was a little dizzy. Feeling the light from the outside world, she slowly opened her eyes, but her surroundings were abnormally blurry.
"Ye Meng, you're finally awake?" A blurry figure appeared in her field of vision. Although she could not see it clearly, she could still recognize Qi Lu's voice.
"What's going on?" Ye Meng closed her eyes and shook her head to clear her mind. When she opened her eyes again, the world was much clearer.
Qi Lu was sitting by her bed with a cup of tea in his hand. He gestured for Qi Lu to help her sit up a little.
After drinking the hot tea, Ye Meng felt much more clear-headed. She looked at the clean and tidy room and was a little confused.
Didn't she lose a lot of things yesterday? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be a mess? How could it be so clean as if nothing had happened? Could it be that yesterday was her imagination, or was it just a dream?
However, Ye Meng's neck was still slightly swollen, which meant that what happened yesterday was real. She touched the part where she was strangled yesterday, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
"This is a new room that I asked the shopkeeper to change.”Qi Lu saw her confusion and quickly explained.
"Oh." Ye Meng nodded. So that was the case. She thought that her memory from yesterday was a mess. Just as she was about to ridicule Qi Lu, the terrifying face of the person from yesterday suddenly flashed across her mind. She sat up straight and asked nervously," How's that person from yesterday?"”
"Him." Qi Lu stood up and placed Ye Meng's empty glass on the table." Of course, I'm escorting her to pay for our room." He smiled.”
Pay for the room? Ye Meng was a little confused. However, when she saw Qi Lu's smart smile and the brand new rooms around her, she remembered that she had to pay for the damage she had done to so many things in the inn. She did not expect Qi Lu to be so smart.
"However, I'm really sorry about yesterday.”Qi Lu looked at the marks on her neck and blamed himself. When Ye Meng fainted yesterday, he was really scared to death. He was worried about what would happen to her if something happened to her. He only felt relieved when he saw her open her eyes.
"You still have the nerve to say that." Ye Meng was furious at the mention of this. Qi Lu had gone missing at such a critical moment yesterday. Fortunately, he had arrived in time. Otherwise, her life would have been lost.
"I saw a figure sneaking around outside the door last night. At that time, I was worried that he would do something unfavorable, so I chased after him.”Qi Lu explained, but he had no intention of asking Ye Meng to forgive him.
Because even he didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if he hadn't arrived in time. At that time, he would probably not be able to forgive himself no matter what.
"Are you saying that someone sneaked up on our door last night?”Ye Meng caught the main point of his words. She and Qi Lu had clearly come alone, and they had only announced to the public that they were here to look for relatives. Could it be that they had already alerted the enemy? Or was it another group of people who were staring at them, purely for money?
However, no matter what the situation was, it was a kind of trouble for them. After all, they were only here to be responsible for the disappearance of the imperial envoy. If there were still people watching them during this process, it would be too troublesome.
"Then who is that person? Did you catch him?”Ye Meng asked again.
"No, he escaped." Qi Lu shook his head in disappointment. That person seemed to have deliberately lured him away.
"Then forget it." Ye Meng felt that it wasn't the time to figure out who they were. She felt that it was better to settle the matter that Magistrate Zhang had given her. Because of the fainting last night, she had already wasted an entire day. If this dragged on any longer, it was likely that the unlucky imperial envoy would be even more doomed.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Ye Meng asked.
"Dear guests." The person at the door replied. It turned out to be the voice of the inn's waiter.
"What is it?" Ye Meng asked. Usually, if there was nothing important, the waiter would not knock on the door. She looked at the sky and realized that it was not the time to eat. As she thought about it, she turned to look at Qi Lu, only to find that he was also at a loss.
Ye Meng didn't know about Qi Lu either, so she gestured for him to open the door.
He opened the door and saw the waiter standing respectfully at the door.
The shop assistant looked up at Qi Lu, who had opened the door. His tall body had already covered half of the door. Through the gap, he saw Ye Meng lying on the bed, looking a little weak.
"There's a guest downstairs who says he's a friend of yours and is looking for you."”
"Friends?" Qi Lu looked at Ye Meng in confusion.
"Thank you." Ye Meng said to the waiter at the door.
"Alright, I won't disturb you two anymore.”The waiter didn't ask anything else. He nodded and went down first.
"Do you know him?" Qi Lu closed the door and walked back to Ye Meng's bed, asking curiously.
"I don't know yet." Ye Meng lifted the blanket and got up. "It's just that since they specifically came to see us, we should go and take a look, right?”
