Gu Yunjiao heard "Ah Jin" and knew it was Hong Mei’s younger brother-in-law, Sun Jin.
She suddenly remembered what Mrs. Chen said to Jiang Youzhi that day and guessed Hong Mei was trying to matchmake her with Sun Jin. She quickly declined, "No, no, it’s not far at all, I’ll be there soon."
"Besides, it’s in the village, not outside."
Hong Mei still wanted to promote her younger brother-in-law, "Come on, it’s fine, just let Ah Jin accompany you."
Gu Yunjiao firmly said, "Sister Hong Mei, better not. After all, if someone sees me, they’ll gossip about my identity."
Hong Mei couldn’t say anything more, sighed regretfully, and escorted Gu Yunjiao to the main gate.
The Sun Family wasn’t too far from the Jiang Family; it was just a ten-minute walk.
It was already dark, merely clear enough to see the path. The rural road was uneven, and Gu Yunjiao walked with a staggered pace.
As she walked, she saw a faint light swaying in the distance, like a lantern.
It was just a bit too far to see clearly.
At that moment, Gu Yunjiao suddenly heard a noise from the roadside.
She turned her head cautiously and suddenly saw a figure emerge from the bushes, lunging at her.
Gu Yunjiao quickly reached into her chest, just touching the cold hard object inside, when a gust of palm wind struck the back of her neck.
Gu Yunjiao’s body leaned forward as much as possible, trying to avoid the blow.
She knew the back of the neck was a very vulnerable spot, taking a heavy blow would make one faint.
She knew she absolutely couldn’t faint.
If she fainted, she was finished.
Even though Gu Yunjiao tried hard to dodge forward, the slap still landed on the back of her neck, causing her to stagger and fall heavily to the ground.
Then, a voice came from the darkness, "Are you going to handle her here, or take her to my place?"
Jiang Erlang glanced at the lantern moving in the distance, "Not to your place, don’t want that place dirtied."
That was where he clandestinely met with Gu Mei,
"This place won’t do either, damn, too cold."
He thought for a moment, "Let’s just go to the temple at the village entrance."
"Later, you remember to call more people over to watch."
The girl answered, "No problem, do you still doubt my work?"
He looked in the distance, "Someone’s coming."
Jiang Erlang bent down, turned over the fallen Gu Yunjiao, and carried her on his shoulder.
Gu Yunjiao seemed completely unconscious, her legs held by Jiang Erlang, head and arms dangling limp behind his back.
Jiang Erlang walked in the opposite direction of the lantern, just took a step forward, his back suddenly throbbed with severe pain, he couldn’t help but grunt, stumbling.
Gu Yunjiao was only pretending to be unconscious, waiting for the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Erlang.
She had originally wanted to wait longer, but hearing Jiang Erlang intending to take her to the temple, she decided not to wait.
The cotton coat was thick, Gu Yunjiao used all her strength to stab the dagger in.
The tip of the blade twisted a bit before being pulled out, then Gu Yunjiao forcefully stabbed Jiang Erlang’s neck again.
Jiang Erlang hissed in pain, flinging Gu Yunjiao to the ground with his arm.
The dizziness of weightlessness made Gu Yunjiao involuntarily scream.
And then she fell to the ground, her internal organs seemed to be battered hard.
With this scream, the nearby lantern shook wildly, followed by a hurried voice, "Is it Yunjiao?"
The girl shivered hearing the voice, "Erlang, what do we do now? Someone’s coming!"
