Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

After what happened just now, Yao Qingnian didn't want to go out anymore.

She was really not used to sleeping in the room in the inn, so she locked the door and entered the space. After washing up, she lay on the bed. The bright eyes of the man who appeared today appeared unconsciously in her mind. Yao Qingnian shook her head: "He is just a strange man, how can he control my thoughts."

Yao Qingnian silently recited the inner energy meditation secret book in his heart, and then he fell asleep unknowingly...

At midnight, there was a sudden cry from outside: "The fire is coming out! Put it out!"

Yao Qingnian was awakened and immediately got up. When she came out of the space, she saw flames rising into the sky outside. She wanted to go out, but the fire had already spread into the house. The air was filled with the smell of kerosene, which burned very quickly. The beams of the house were engulfed by the fire and it could collapse at any time.

Just as she was about to enter the space to hide, the window was suddenly knocked open, and a tall figure quickly jumped to Yao Qingnian's side: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"

The man took off his soaked robe and put it on Yao Qingnian: "I'm sorry!"

He held her waist tightly, jumped up lightly, and quickly fled from the blazing fire. Just as they left, the beams behind them collapsed with a loud bang.

"Anian, are you okay? You scared me to death!"

"I'm fine." Yao Qingnian said lightly.

"Oh! That's good. I was scared to death. I was the one who brought you up. If something happened, how would I explain to your family?" Tang Huiyun finally let go of her worries.

There were also traces of smoke on Tang Huiyun's face. She was sleeping soundly just now. The maid noticed something was wrong and immediately ran to save Tang Huiyun. Fortunately, she was discovered in time and was only smoked by the smoke. By the time they reacted and found that Yao Qingnian was still upstairs, it was too late. The fire spread to the entire room on the second floor. The innkeeper immediately arranged people to put out the fire.

Tang Huiyun was anxious downstairs and asked the maid who was somewhat skilled in martial arts to quickly find a way to save Yao Qingnian. However, the maid's skills were limited and the fire at the door was so big that she couldn't get in at all. Just when everyone thought that Yao Qingnian was about to die in the fire, a figure stood up and prepared to save her.

"You can't go. Their lives are not as important as yours!" The girl who had a conflict with Yao Qingnian stood in front of Lu Huaijin.

"Get out of the way!" The man's calm tone carried a hint of authority.

"No, not unless you step over me!"

Lu Huaijin knocked the girl's neck quickly and unceremoniously. The girl closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground. He picked her up and threw her to the followers beside him, letting them go first, and flew towards the window of the inn.

Finally, Yao Qingnian was successfully rescued.

"Oh! It's over, it's over, my house!" The shopkeeper was heartbroken as he watched the inn being burned down but was powerless to do anything.

"Thank you!" Yao Qingnian spoke slowly. Although she could be unharmed without the man's rescue, he came in to save her in the raging fire. She remembered this favor and would definitely repay him if she had the chance in the future.

"It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart." The man said expressionlessly, not caring at all.

"Boss, I smelled a strong odor of kerosene just now. I think someone set the fire on purpose. You should report it to the police." After the man said this, he glanced at Yao Qingnian and rode away on his horse. His back was tall and straight, and he walked steadily. He looked like not only a martial artist, but also a very strong one.

The fire in the inn took a long time to be extinguished. When Yao Qingnian and others left the inn, it was already dawn. The government sent people to investigate.

After tossing and turning for half the night, everyone was a little tired. After resting for a while in the carriage, they continued on their journey.

When Yao Qingnian opened her eyes, Tang Huiyun was holding her cheek, thinking about something. She came to her senses when she saw her get up.

"Anian, the fire last night seemed to be premeditated against me..."

"What do you mean?" Yao Qingnian smelled kerosene and knew that this was man-made.

"The fire started at the door of your house. The more kerosene was poured at your door, the bigger the fire was."

"You mean I have offended someone and someone wants to kill me?" Yao Qingnian felt that it was impossible. He came here and was unfamiliar with the place. Apart from offending the woman last night, he had no interactions with other people.

"No, it's directed at me! I'm sorry for letting you get implicated by me, An Nian."

After Tang Huiyun said this, there was nothing she didn't know. Before going to bed last night, Tang Huiyun ran to her room and said that there was a mouse in her house and wanted to squeeze in with her.

It was just a mouse. Yao Qingnian didn’t sleep outside anyway, so she switched rooms with Tang Huiyun and slept in her room at the beginning.

"Ok?"

"Originally I wouldn't have thought that someone was targeting me, but I found this when I ran out."

Tang Huiyun took out a token from her bosom, on which was engraved the word "Cao". Outsiders did not know the meaning of it, but she had accidentally seen it when she was a child. Her good stepmother held the token and gave it to people around her. Later she learned that this was the emblem of her stepmother's family.

It seemed that someone had heard the news and didn't want her to go back. They wanted her to be killed on the road without anyone noticing. But the more this happened, the more she couldn't do what they wanted.

"So what are you going to do now? Continue to the capital city?"

"Go! Even though I know it's a fire pit, I have to jump into it. If I don't go, I will just do what they want. I'm just sorry for involving you in this matter." Tang Huiyun said to Yao Qingnian with some apology.

Yao Qingnian didn't want to get involved in the mess in the backyard, but since he took Tang Huiyun's money, he had to help her heal her face.

"Nothing, the main task this time is to get the Blood Spirit Gourd."

"Then I'll trouble Miss Yao to accompany me on this trip. After the matter is completed, I will give you double the price we agreed on before."

Yao Qingnian helped Tang Huiyun detoxify, and she paid a generous consultation fee without hesitation. Now he is offering her double the fee, so she has no choice but to go...

In Taoxi Village, a nimble figure on horseback quickly entered the village; the sound of horse hooves seemed very abrupt in the quiet night.

The dogs in the village kept barking, and the villagers were awakened from their sleep.

Someone couldn't help but curse: "You damn dog, you're making so much noise. What are you doing? You can't keep quiet in the middle of the night."

The village chief also heard the noise and was worried that bandits might have entered the village, so he quickly got dressed, picked up a lantern, called a few people, and headed towards the direction where the horse hoof sounds came from.

Lu Mingchuan's home.

"It sounds like the sound of horse hooves. Is there anything wrong?" Lu Mingchuan also got up. Usually, dogs in the village rarely bark in the middle of the night. There were also the sounds of horse hooves. Could it be that a thief broke in...
