Look around?
There were so many families in Little Bay Village. Why did Qiao Sheng only choose to visit Lin Luo's house?
Only an idiot would be fooled by these words.
Yan Su pursed his lips and beat Qiao Sheng up. Just as he was about to drag Qiao Sheng away, Lin Luo suddenly pushed the door open and walked out.
Yan Su's demeanor immediately became much more refined.
However, upon seeing Lin Luo's gaze, Yan Su finally realized it.
Lin Luo couldn't recognize Yan Su after he changed his clothes and put on a mask.
"You are?" Lin Luo's gaze went from Qiao Sheng, who was beaten black and blue as he lay on the ground, to Yan Su. Then, she understood and cupped her hands at Yan Su. "Thank you for your help. Can you let me deal with this thief?"
With that, Lin Luo pulled Qiao Sheng into the room next door.
When Qiao Sheng's body knocked the door open, an incomparably huge tree stump suddenly popped out and smashed into Qiao Sheng's waist. Qiao Sheng wailed in pain.
Misfortunes didn't come alone. As soon as he fell to the ground, the ground collapsed.
"Ah—"
The wails continued. After a while, Yan Su heard Qiao Sheng land.
Yan Su was speechless.
"Young warrior, don't be afraid. I'm not a bloodthirsty person. Setting up these traps is just a way for me to protect myself." Lin Luo dusted her hands as she looked at Yan Su with a friendly gaze and said, "Sir, do you want to come in?"
She knew that there were swordsmen who traveled the world with swords in ancient times, but she didn't expect to meet one today!
Lin Luo's current mentality was like that of a girl who had finally seen her idol.
Yan Su glanced at the bottomless pit and said, "There's no need."
How did this girl dig such a deep hole?!!
And that tree stump was as two times as thick as him. How did Lin Luo move it in?!
What kind of dangerous courtyard had he been walking around in previously?!
"You're welcome. I heard that chivalrous people like you all sleep in the open, so you guys rarely get good rest."
"Since we've met today, let's sit down and have a good chat. Tell me about the stories of the martial world. I'll prepare some snacks and tea for you. How about that?"
Before Yan Su could answer, he was pushed into the house by Lin Luo.
Since he had already entered, Yan Su sat down.
After Lin Luo served warm tea, she stared at Yan Su with a starry-eyed look and said, "I can tell from your martial arts skills that you must have been in the pugilistic world for many years. Did you encounter anything interesting?"
Who didn't have dreams when they were young?
Ever since she was young, Lin Luo's dream was to be a swordsman!
Unfortunately, after she became a doctor, she was trapped on Island R and her dream went unfulfilled.
"Ahem, there were indeed quite a few interesting encounters." Yan Su cleared his throat and lowered his voice to speak in a deep voice that was different from his original voice.
Why didn't he leave?
Yan Su didn't know either.
Perhaps it was because Lin Luo's starry-eyed look reminded him of the girl in his heart.
Or perhaps it was because a life of seclusion for many years was too depressing, so he wanted someone to confide in.
Even if this person was dangerous, mysterious, and secretive like him…
"Once upon a time, I went to a country where there were two princes. They were from the same mother and were related by blood. However, there was only one throne. The emperor favored the second prince, so the first prince tampered with his will and ascended the throne. He also killed the second prince…"
One person spoke while the other listened.
By the time the candle was burnt out, Lin Luo was already asleep on the table.
Yan Su took off his jacket and covered her before turning to leave.
-
Lin Luo only woke up at dawn.
As she rubbed her sore neck, she grabbed the jacket that covered her.
Lin Luo stared at the jacket in a daze as she muttered to herself, "So it's not a dream."
"Help, help!"
When Lin Luo heard a weak cry from outside, she walked out and squatted by the pit to look at Qiao Sheng.
After staying there the entire night, Qiao Sheng looked disheveled. Not only was his face ashen, but even his clothes were covered in mud.
Most importantly, his face was swollen.
Lin Luo yawned. "What are you doing at my house?"
Qiao Sheng avoided eye contact. "I was just passing by when that bastard captured me and brought me to your courtyard. He even forced me to steal things!"
Without saying anything, Lin Luo brought a basin of chili water and poured it on Qiao Sheng's head.
"Ah—"
"No, no, I'll tell you everything!"
Lin Luo gave him a meaningful look and asked solemnly, "Do you know what it's like to suffocate in water?"
The original host had lost consciousness after being hit by a stone block and drowned to death.
Before Qiao Sheng could react, another basin of chili water was poured over him.
After the wound opened under the stimulation of the chili water, Qiao Sheng was overcome with heat and pain. Qiao Sheng climbed the stone wall in fear, but the stone wall was too steep. He scratched the wall until his nails bled, but he still couldn't climb up.
"I was wrong. I was wrong. Please let me go!"
"Lin Luo, I know my mistake now. I can kneel down for you to apologize!"
Lin Luo ignored his words and kept pouring one basin of chili water after another.
The chili water covered Qiao Sheng's chin, and his entire body trembled. "I don't know how to swim. I don't know how to swim! Lin Luo, Lin Luo, I beg you. Let me go. I'll be your slave in the future. I won't dare to have any designs on you again!"
"Experience the despair she felt at that time." Lin Luo poured the last basin of chili water.
Then, Lin Luo found a large board from somewhere and covered the pit.
Lin Luo took a chair and placed it on the large board. Then, she started to bask in the sun.
The sun was so warm.
The sound of slapping came from under the board. It wasn't noisy, and instead, it sounded quite melodious, like music.
The soothing sound even made Lin Luo sleepy.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on the courtyard door roughly. Lin Luo frowned and stood up. When she opened the courtyard door, she saw the impatient Lin Ying.
"Idiot, why did you lock the door in broad daylight? Are you doing something shameful in the courtyard?"
Something shameful?
Lin Luo glanced at the board.
Then, she looked at Lin Ying. "What can I do for you?"
Lin Ying snorted. "You didn't starve to death these few days, right?"
She stuffed a basket into Lin Luo's hands. "Grandpa asked me to send this over. Hurry up and eat."
"Everyone in our family is so kind. If you were born in another family, you would have starved to death long ago."
Lin Luo glanced at the tofu fish that emitted a fishy smell. There was a layer of sand scattered on the fish. From the looks of it, the soil was quite "fresh", so it had been scattered not long ago.
Lin Luo glanced at Lin Ying.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Ying glared at her and shouted, "Hurry up and eat. You're not allowed to have any leftovers!"
"Otherwise, we won't send you food anymore!"
"Did you sprinkle the sand on it?" Lin Luo asked indifferently.
Lin Ying's eyes flickered. She had indeed scattered sand on it.
In the past, she was unwilling to deliver food to Lin Luo, but when she thought of the few slaps Lin Luo had given her, Lin Ying accepted the task.
She even added some ingredients to Lin Luo's tofu fish.
"I don't know. Grandpa prepared this for you," Lin Ying straightened her neck as she said. She naturally wouldn't expose herself.
