The stunning husband is in love, but she flirts and runs away
Chapter 25: Fighting back even when death is imminent
How to do?
Things seemed a little bad, she had to think of a way to get rid of these two people quickly.
Since they were thinking about her five taels of silver, she would spend the silver in front of them.
Having come up with an idea, Lin Acai didn't say anything. She took Brother Xiao's hand and ran straight to the rouge shop across the street.
Xiao Jue was dragged away by Lin Acai without any explanation, which made him feel a little puzzled.
When he was dragged into the shop smelling of powder by Lin Acai, he suddenly understood everything.
It turned out that she, like the ladies in the city, also liked to put rouge and powder on her face.
"Hey... girl, do you have any rouge that you like? How about I take it out for you and let you smell the fragrance?"
The female owner of the rouge shop was good at judging people. When she saw Lin Acai coming in with a handsome young man, she immediately went forward to greet them enthusiastically.
It's obvious that this girl just got married and brought her husband here to buy rouge. She can't miss this business.
"Shopkeeper...how much is the best and most expensive rouge in your store?"
The most expensive rouge?
Seeing Lin Acai's arrogant tone, the female shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "The most expensive rouge costs five taels of silver. It is our store's signature rouge. To be honest, even the girls from the next town come to us to buy this rouge."
"Okay then! Pack one for me. I'll pay five taels of silver!" Lin Acai deliberately spoke loudly.
She knew that the two men must be lingering around the rouge shop.
"Okay, okay! I'll pack it for this girl." The female shopkeeper had never met such a straightforward customer before, so she smiled and asked again, "Girl, do you want to see if there is anything else you can use?"
"No need! I only brought five taels of silver with me today!"
Lin Acai raised her voice again. She wanted to let those two people know that she had no money left.
Without money, they won't target them anymore.
After all, the rouge is not worth the money, so it will be useless even if you steal it.
Holding the rouge respectfully brought to her by the waiter, Lin Acai went out. After going out, she kept looking around intentionally or unintentionally.
As a result, after observing for a long time, the two men really did not catch up.
A stone suddenly fell from her heart.
Pushing the cart, quickening the pace.
But as they walked, when they entered the woods where they came from, Xiao Jue suddenly looked alert and stopped: "Miss Lin...wait, something is not right..."
"Brother Xiao...are there cobras here too?" Lin Acai looked around with him in fear.
"It's not a snake. There must be people hiding around here."
"people???"
Lin Acai was complaining in her heart.
"How many people are there?"
"No less than ten people..."
After hearing Brother Xiao's reminder, Lin Acai almost fell to the ground due to her legs going weak.
Could it be that those two people have found accomplices?
It has come to this point, and Lin Acai no longer hides it.
"Brother Xiao...when we were eating wontons, I noticed two suspicious men staring at us with ill intentions. I thought they were after my five taels of silver, so I spent all the silver, thinking they would not rob us again...unexpectedly, it seems that I thought things were a little too simple..."
"Why didn't you tell me at that time?" Xiao Jue was a little puzzled.
"Brother Xiao, I just don't want you to worry. I thought they just wanted money, but I didn't expect that this group of people seemed to want our lives..."
Lin Acai was at a loss, and kept thinking about how to escape.
She had just come here a short time ago, and she didn't want to be killed by a dozen bandits at this critical moment.
Wouldn't that be a very miserable death?
If it really doesn't work, she will hide in the space later.
But if she hides in there, what will Brother Xiao do?
Take him in with you?
But that would expose everything. What would he think if he knew she was a time traveler?
Will they mistake her for a monster?
After all, that's how it's played out in movies and TV dramas. As long as something happens that's beyond these people's cognition, they will classify it as something supernatural.
Thinking of this, the image of her being kidnapped and roasted on fire appeared in her mind.
She shuddered with fear.
No, unless it is absolutely necessary, she must not let Brother Xiao discover the secret that she has a space.
"Don't worry... As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you." Xiao Jue pulled Lin Acai behind him without thinking.
Then, he reached his hand into the lapel of his shirt, and three darts flashing with cold light appeared in Lin Acai's sight the next second.
It seems that this young man Xiao is no ordinary person. He can also use darts.
This thing has only been seen in some martial arts dramas.
Just as she was sighing, seven or eight men in black suddenly stood up from the bushes not far away.
They all held big knives in their hands and were approaching the two of them step by step.
"Man in black?" Lin Acai was slightly stunned.
Men in black are different from ordinary thieves. They are well-trained and a thousand times more difficult to deal with than thieves.
"...My dear friends, have you found the wrong person?" Lin Acai hid behind Xiao Jue and tried to persuade him in a hoarse voice.
She didn't want to be hurt by mistake. She was just an ordinary person with no money or power. It was not worth it for these people to go to so much trouble to ambush her here and take her life.
“...You recognized the wrong person? How is that possible? You took money to help others get rid of disasters, Master Xiao...you made it difficult for us to find you!” The leading man in black gritted his teeth as he looked at Xiao Jue, who was fearless in the face of danger in front of him.
"What nonsense you are talking about! You are just dreaming if you want to kill me!" Xiao Jue's eyes were fierce.
This was an expression that Lin Acai had never seen before.
"Humph... You're still stubborn even when you're about to die! Come on, brothers! After we finish this deal, I'll treat you to some wine..."
The leading man in black waved his hand, and the rest of the men in black rushed over.
Lin Acai thought to herself that something was not good, and then held Brother Xiao's left hand tightly.
If the situation is critical in a moment.
As a last resort, she took him into the space. Staying alive was the most important thing.
As I was thinking this, the man in black was about to approach me.
Suddenly, the dart in Xiao Jue's hand flew out.
The three men in black fell to the ground.
Seeing this, all the men in black looked at each other and stopped.
"What are you afraid of? Come on!" The leading man in black shouted, and everyone immediately rushed towards Xiao Jue again.
However, Xiao Jue was quick-eyed and quick-handed. At this critical moment, he took out five darts and shot them out swiftly!
"what!!!"
Accompanied by a few screams, four more people fell down one after another.
Xiao Jue was not worried at all that the fallen men in black would stand up again.
Because his darts were all soaked in poison.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." Xiao Jue counted down softly to the black-clothed leader who was standing alone.
The leader of the men in black was terrified. He had a vague premonition that something bad was going to happen.
"Three, two, one..."
After Xiao Jue finished reading it, the black-clothed man's hand holding the sword was shaking visibly.
At this moment, the first group of black-clad men who fell down at his feet suddenly grabbed his trouser legs tightly, with an expression of extreme pain:
“Save me…save…”
The words haven't been finished yet.
A mouthful of blood spurted out!
