Chapter 49 The Chu Family's Son-in-Law
Rong Zhan didn't know when she learned martial arts. Even if she did learn it, looking at her frail appearance, it would only be scratching the surface.
He picked up Junrong and pretended to threaten her, saying, "If things go wrong, it could be fatal. Are you really not afraid?"
Chu Wanying raised her pretty face and raised her chin slightly, showing her heroism and arrogance, "If you don't believe it, why don't we make a bet? How about we bet on who will kill the murderer in the end?"
Seeing her confident expression, Rong Zhan's face showed a rare hint of amusement, "You are quite confident."
"Of course, I once had a master who was very good and taught me a lot of skills. But the master made me swear an oath not to reveal his identity to others."
"If the Chu family hadn't imprisoned me all year round and didn't give me a good meal, I would have escaped long ago based on my skills."
She deliberately made up these words in order to make the man believe that she really knew how to defend herself and could protect herself.
As soon as these words came out, the man's face was stunned for a moment, and then he looked straight at her.
"You are a very capable master."
Chu Wanying heard his suspicions, but the words had already been spoken, so she had to bite the bullet and continue to make up, "He often breaks into the Chu family to teach me my skills. If you are still doubtful, don't you believe that we can give it a try?"
The man took one look at the girl's fair and delicate hands and clenched them into fists, smiled slightly, said nothing more, turned around and walked towards the door.
Before leaving, he said, "I'm going to buy some tools while you rest."
Chu Wanying felt that she had been slighted and felt very depressed.
When I had nowhere to vent, I had no choice but to lie down on the bed, close my eyes and enter the spiritual space, and turn around in a circle.
The fruits and vegetables have sprouted, and it is estimated that the harvest will be ready in two days.
It's just that there aren't many sacks left in the space, so we need to prepare some more.
She entered the small building. There was a medicine stove in the center of the first floor, surrounded by various tools and items, as well as fruits, vegetables and food that had been packed last time.
I counted it again and found that there were twenty sacks.
Before leaving, she rummaged through the listed items and found the cloth bag she had ordered from Tailor Feng last time, and carried it on her side.
When this cloth bag was originally designed, it was designed based on modern women's waist bags, with a simple and elegant style.
In addition, she also asked Tailor Feng to design two small compartments in the bag, so that small belongings can be classified and placed, which is really convenient.
Patting the small bag with satisfaction, she then went to the second, third and fourth floors.
Except for one box of mineral water and three boxes of instant noodles that I had hoarded in my previous life on the second floor, these three floors are almost empty and without any furniture decoration.
The surrounding area was bare. After walking around for a while, Chu Wanying confirmed that there were indeed no unnecessary items and then continued walking up.
When we reached the attic on the fifth floor, it was very similar to modern decoration. Three walls were filled with cabinets, and only two of them were full.
One side is for books, the other side is used as a wardrobe, leaving only one side blank.
The paperwork and title deed of the rice noodle shop is placed on the top floor of the third cabinet.
Chu Wanying withdrew her gaze, turned around and opened the closet on the right wall that was nearly two people high. She took a casual look. Most of them were basic bottoms and sportswear. After searching, she didn't even find a skirt.
She couldn't help but shook her head at her usual simple style and sighed, opened the drawer below and took out a pair of underwear and underwear.
The obscene clothes and pants worn by women in ancient times were so uncomfortable that they kept wearing their own underwear on the second day they came into this world.
Tomorrow Rong Zhan said he would take her to a hot spring, where she could finally take a bath and change her underwear.
She put her underwear into the small bag, then turned around and opened the drawer on the bookcase, took out a lined notebook and a gel pen and put them into the bag.
Returning to the first floor, before going out, she took out a fire holder, a dagger and a hemp rope from the tool pile.
The fire tack and hemp rope were put into the bag, and the dagger was stuffed directly into the cuff.
When everything was ready, Chu Wanying walked out of the small building and moved to the small building at the back.
Stretching out his palms, the water from the spiritual spring immediately gathered in the air above his palms. Chu Wan Yingxu held the water ball in his hand and slowly walked to the ground in the front yard. He opened his hand and the water ball in his hand seemed to have its own vitality.
He jumped into the earth and was absorbed instantly.
Chu Wanying watched all this with satisfaction. In the space, her water power was now under control and had returned to 70%.
It's just a pity that outside the space, no matter how hard she practices, the results are not obvious, and she can only recover to 20% level.
She returned to Lingquan. Now Lingquan is only about the same size as a home bath, but fortunately its ability to survive has been restored.
After drawing some water and storing it in the palm of her hand, Chu Wanying felt relieved and quietly withdrew.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Rong Zhan had not come back yet. He opened the window and took a look outside. It was not dark yet.
He stretched out his left palm and poured the spiritual spring water into the teapot on the table.
Chu Wanying shook the teapot, poured a cup out, and drank it immediately.
Lying on the bed, I fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up, she saw the man sitting at the table.
The weak light from the oil lamp hit the side of the man's face, outlining his perfect profile.
Chu Wanying was lost in thought for a moment and called him, "When did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up?"
When the man heard this, he stopped what he was doing and looked back at her, "There are still things to do at night, so it would be a good thing for you to sleep more."
Chu Wanying stood up, stretched out like a lady, walked to his side, and asked, "What are you doing?"
The man seemed to be drawing something, and there were many square patterns on the paper.
She looked at it for a while before she realized, "Is this the layout of Lingyun Tower?"
Rong Zhan continued to draw while answering, "Yes, knowing your enemy and knowing yourself will never end a hundred battles. These are the cakes I bought from Tian Ji Shop. If you are hungry, you can fill your stomach first."
After what he said, Chu Wanying was really hungry. She opened the oil paper bag on the table and immediately started to eat a big meal.
"Why don't we go downstairs to have something to eat? It's a restaurant after all, so we have to have something to eat."
When Rong Zhan heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, "You dare to eat it?"
Chu Wanying patted her head. Maybe she was sleepy and almost forgot that this restaurant was the enemy's den. How could she eat the food they made.
She smiled coquettishly, stopped talking, and started eating with peace of mind.
After finishing the meal, she approached the man. The layout map had been drawn. Chu Wanying pointed to the room next door in the picture and said, "Who lives here?"
Rong Zhan shook his head. When he went out and passed by the next door, he didn't hear any movement inside. He thought the guest hadn't come back yet.
"Then if we want to go to Tianzi No. 1, we can only go through the main entrance?"
The three rooms on the second floor are designed side by side from west to east. The one in the west near the escalator is Tianzi No. 1, and the one in the east is Tianzi No. 3.
There is only one window in each room. The window of Tianzi No. 1 is on the west side, where the stairs are. It would be too blatant to climb in through the window.
But entering through the main entrance will inevitably disturb the people inside.
Neither the left nor the right could go in. Chu Wanying really didn't know what to do and looked at the man.
After receiving her gaze, Rong Zhan put away his pen and said in a calm voice, "Who said we are going in?"
"No? Then what's your purpose in drawing this layout plan?" Chu Wanying was confused by him and asked in surprise.
"This picture is just for planning our escape route."
"Escape route?" She was confused by his words. What was going on?
She stared at the man intently, and saw that his brows were lowered, his long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and the weak light shone on his face, making it even more peaceful and beautiful.
It's really a beautiful sight.
But no matter how beautiful she is, I still have to explain this to her!
Rong Zhan's mind was spinning, and the reason he drew this picture was because he remembered something.
In the previous life, the Rong family was detained in prison for a period of time before being exiled. I occasionally heard the jailers chatting and heard them mention that a fire broke out in a restaurant in the town. Counting the days, it happened to be on these two days.
At that time, he was too busy taking care of himself that he had no extra time to think about these trivial matters.
Now I know that all this was planned by the murderer.
First, he set fire to frame the Rong family for murder, and then set fire to kill shopkeeper Wang.
With this guess, Rong Zhan immediately overturned their previous thoughts. In fact, even if they didn't come to find Shopkeeper Wang, the murderer had already targeted Shopkeeper Wang and wanted to kill him quickly.
There was just one thing that had been bothering him. Shopkeeper Wang had been living here for a few days. He could take action at any time. Even with his meticulous behavior, it would not be difficult to kill him without anyone noticing.
But why on earth did that person choose to take action on these two days?
Moreover, according to the man's original plan, tonight was not the best time to take action. But their arrival disrupted his plan and forced Shopkeeper Wang to escape. This forced the murderer to seize the opportunity and strike first.
To be strong.
He didn't know how to explain these speculations to the girl, so he could only make up a random excuse, "In case the opponent has too many people and is powerful, we have to think of a foolproof strategy."
After saying this, Chu Wanying understood his intention, but she couldn't understand the picture at all.
"There is only one door and one window in the room. Is there a third passage?"
Rong Zhan shook his head, "No, but we can make a plan."
As he spoke, he waved to the girl, motioning her to come closer.
He lowered his voice and said, "It's unknown who lives in Tianzi. In other words, it's unknown even if there are no guests. The other party may have set up an ambush next door in advance. Shopkeeper Wang didn't go out in the afternoon and only went out to buy food at Youshi.
He bought some dry food and a carriage, so we can make a bold guess that he should be accompanied by his family members, and the medicinal materials he saw during the day should also be bought for her to eat."
"This may also be the second reason why he has not left this place for so long." Chu Wanying answered.
"Yes, I took a quick look at those medicinal materials and guessed that they should be used to treat tuberculosis."
When Chu Wanying heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him playfully, "Do you even understand this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing. He licked his tongue secretly and said awkwardly, "I didn't mean that..."
"It doesn't matter. Being familiar with medicinal materials is indeed Chu Yunting's original intention."
Chu Yunting said at the beginning that she was the direct daughter of the Chu family, and she would definitely have to take care of the Chu family's business in the future.
