Chapter 28 Arrows Like Rainbows
"I am a girl from the countryside and don't know much, but I know very well what to say and what not to say. When I see what happened today, I promise that I will forget it if I turn my head and just think that nothing has happened and will not mention it in front of anyone...even if it is a word."
Lian Man'er looked at the man carefully and said.
The man looked at Lian Man'er with some inquiring eyes. He was chased and almost exhausted, but there was another killer who followed closely behind. He knew that if he continued to escape, he would die at the hands of the killer. So he found this earth slope, sat down, waited for the killer to come to the door. Lian Man'er suddenly appeared, and he thought it was another killer arranged by the other party at first. The reason why he didn't kill Lian Man'er from the beginning was because Lian Man'er's way of falling from the sky was too different from a killer. She had no murderous aura and exposed so many fatal vitals to him. And Chacha, his strength could only deal with one more person.
Even so, he did not relax.
As long as even Man'er made him uneasy, he would kill her without hesitation. However, she was rarely calm and did her best to heal her injuries.
Then, the killer finally caught up. He pretended to ask Lian Man'er to treat his injuries, deliberately revealing his flaws, which really led to the killer's attack, and he used the last sleeve arrow to deal with it.
It is true that Lian Man'er helped him, but he cannot be known about his affairs.
He planned to kill Lian Man'er to silence him.
But Lian Man'er's calmness calmed down his murderous intent. He didn't talk much, was smart, but never showed off his cleverness. It was just right, which was very rare.
"I never want to cause trouble." Lian Man'er looked directly at the man and said.
"How old are you?" the man asked replies without answering.
"Ten years old." Lian Man'er replied.
"Why don't you bind your feet?" the man asked softly, and as soon as he said that, he was a little surprised.
"Not every girl has foot binding, right?" Lian Man'er was a little surprised, but she still replied, "There must be someone at home to do work. Moreover, I don't like foot binding."
Speaking of this, Lian Man'er stopped talking. It was so strange, why did she tell him this?
"It's better to bind your feet." The man said again.
She and him, in this situation, talked about this topic, which was so strange. Lian Man'er didn't say anything this time.
Lian Man'er treated all the wounds for the man.
"Don't you need someone to help? I mean, if you are hungry, I can find you some food." Lian Man'er said. This man shouldn't die. She wanted to get out as soon as possible while he seemed to be in a good mood.
The man looked at Lian Man'er, his pupils were black, and he seemed to see Lian Man'er's heart. This was definitely not the gaze that ordinary people should have.
"You go." The man said.
"Okay." Lian Man'er quickly stood up. The man was so easy to talk to, and she was a little surprised. Ya Yanqing
"Wait a minute."
Lian Man'er picked up the basket and just walked out a few steps when she heard the man calling her behind her.
Lian Man'er's body suddenly stiffened. This person would not change his mind. She ran away if she wanted to do so, but thinking about the man's methods to deal with the man in black just now, who knew if there were any sleeve arrows in the man's sleeves, she didn't dare to take this risk.
"What's the matter?" Lian Man'er slowly turned around and asked calmly.
The man was still sitting on the ground, the sunlight fell on his face, and Lian Man'er couldn't see his expression clearly.
"I forgot to ask you, what's your name?" the man asked.
"Oh, I..." Lian Man'er paused for a moment, thinking about whether to tell him a pseudonym. Then he thought, and felt that there was no need for this, "My name is Man'er, Lian Man'er."
"Lien Man'er." The man said softly before nodding to Lian Man'er, "You go."
"Take care." Lian Man'er replied, turned around and walked away again. When she probably walked out of the man's sight, Lian Man'er turned her head and saw that she could no longer see the man, so she started trotting.
It's safe! When Lian Man'er ran out of the mountain, he stopped to breathe, thinking that he should be safe now.
"Second sister, where have you been? Why have you been there for the past half day?" Xiaoqi walked towards him, took the basket from Lian Man'er, and found it was empty inside, so he asked strangely, "Hey, sister, you didn't mean to pick sour jujubes."
"Suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable, so I sat under the shade of the tree for a while." Lian Man'er replied. She did not intend to tell anyone about her experience, nor did she think about keeping her promises, but just didn't want to cause trouble. It would be better to forget all of her experiences earlier.
"Sister, are you okay now?" Xiaoqi heard Lian Man'er say this, and hurriedly held Lian Man'er's hand.
"It's okay, nothing is wrong." Lian Man'er didn't want Xiaoqi to worry about her, "Let's go back quickly."
The two returned to the stream at the foot of the mountain, and Goro was setting up a bonfire to grill fish.
"I came back just in time and the fish was ripe right away." Goro said.
"This fish must be delicious." Xiaoqi put down the basket and sat down next to the fire with Lian Man'er, "using a lot of pepper and salt."
Lian Man'er often went down the fields and up the mountains these days. Sometimes he caught sparrows, sometimes he just took bird eggs and pheasant eggs, and sometimes he just ate fresh wild vegetables. These things always had to be seasoned to taste good, while Lian'er only had coarse salt. Lian Man'er took some coarse salt to make fine salt, grind the peppercorns into powder, and fry them together in an iron pot to make pepper and salt.
The food made from salt and pepper is of course more delicious.
"Man'er will give you." Goro grilled the fish, picked the fattest one and handed it to Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er took the fish over. The fish was covered with salt and salt inside and outside. The skin was already crispy. Before it was put into her mouth, the fragrance was already tempting enough. Lian Man'er put the grilled fish to her mouth and suddenly remembered the man in the mountains. She was able to come out safely, which means that the man didn't want to kill her. She was thinking too much. I don't know what happened to the man now.
…………
When the man saw Lian Man'er's figure disappear, he snapped his fingers gently, and immediately a dozen men in uniform jumped out, as if they were coming out of the plain.
The leader was a tall man. He walked forward and knelt on one knee in front of the man.
"All the killers have been killed. I'm late to come down, so I'm scared. Please punish me."
The man just waved his hand, and the man quickly got up and helped the man up from the ground.
"Sir, your injury..."
"It's okay for now, it's been dealt with." The man said, "Go back to the city first and then make the reason."
"Yes, sir, the car has been prepared at the foot of the mountain."
The man nodded.
"Sir..., do you still need the aftermath?" The man insulted man hesitated and asked. The aftermath he mentioned naturally did not refer to the corpse next to him, because he had already ordered the two brothers to move the corpse away and deal with it. He was asking Lian Man'er.
"The adult's trip is very confidential. If he accidentally leaked a little bit..." The man said carefully. If it were normal, he would not need to ask at all. The adult's behavior has always been neat and never had the kindness of a woman. Just now, he saw that the adult sent the little girl away, and thought that the adult was thinking that the little girl was thinking of him stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wound, and did not want her to die in front of him. At that time, he had already decided which brother to send to take care of it. But to his surprise, the adult called the little girl again and asked the little girl's name.
Lian Man'er.
If the adults wanted Lian Man'er to die, they would not have done anything extra.
Even though he thought so, he still asked. Because no one could know the whereabouts of the adults.
"Confidential..." The man showed a sneer on his lips, "If it is really confidential, where did these killers come from!"
"It's all negligence of subordinates." The tall man hurriedly said.
"It's not you, it's me... I underestimated them." The man said, waved to a small young man next to him, "Thirteen, come here."
The man named Thirteen walked up to the man.
"You..." the man gave a few instructions in Thirteen's ear.
"Subordinate to obey the order." Thirteen agreed, and disappeared behind the bushes with just a few jumps.
…………
Goro and Xiaoqi each held a fish and ate it so much that they were so fragrant. They looked up and saw Lian Man'er in a daze with the fish, without eating a bite.
"Man'er, what's wrong? Isn't the fish delicious?" Goro asked hurriedly.
"No, I suddenly remembered that I forgot something very important." Lian Man'er said.
"What's the matter?"
"When I came out in the morning, my mother told me to pull out two baskets of grass and go back, just the grass on our land at the foot of the South Mountain." Lian Man'er said.
"Oh, that's all, don't worry, Xiaoqi and I will get two baskets in a short time." Wuro said.
Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly.
"It's getting late, so it's time for us to go home." Lian Man'er said again.
"Then Xiaoqi and I will go now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back here." Lian Man'er said.
Goro and Xiaoqi carried the basket and went to the field while eating grilled fish.
Lian Man'er watched Goro and Xiaoqi walk away and can no longer see her, so she hurriedly wrapped the grilled fish with leaves and walked quickly towards the bay of the back mountain.
Lian Man'er walked, thinking, what was she doing? The words she was looking for food were just her escape plan. She had no intention of giving food to the man at that time. She finally got out of the way and was safe. What happened to her? She ran back and wanted to give him grilled fish. She loved fish the most, but since she got here, she had never eaten the fish.
Lian Man'er was confused, but her feet didn't stop. For some reason, she just wanted to see the man again and know that he was safe. If he was still there, she would take him out. Lian Man'er told herself this.
When he arrived at the place, Lian Man'er couldn't help but be stunned.
Under the soil slope, the place where the man was sitting just now was empty, and even the traces of blood-stained on the ground were gone. He left, but why didn't he see footprints?
Lian Man'er thought about it, and plucked up the courage to walk towards the place where the person who had attacked had just fallen. The man's body was gone and there was no blood around him.
Could it be that what happened just now was just a dream? No, of course it was not a dream. Just look carefully and there were traces of being crushed on the weeds. On one or two grass leaves, you could vaguely see red water spots, and the soil under the soil slope also had traces of being passive.
The man left and was taken away.
He refused to ask her to ask for help, he should be waiting here. Then he should be safe. She ran back frantically, was it considered an unnecessary move?
The grilled fish in my hand was already a little cold. When the breeze blew, Lian Man'er felt a little lost.
…………
Lian Man'er walked into the village entrance with a basket. Several girls were sitting under a big willow tree to enjoy the cool air, chatting and laughing.
"Isn't that Lian Man'er?" One of them looked up and said
"Lien Man'er, come here."
