Before the master and servant went out, Hongli wanted to wake up Ali and ask her to go with them.

An Jinshu stopped her. During the day, the girl was drowsy. Making a bowl of noodles was not a troublesome job, so he didn't disturb her dream.

I just arrived at this village in the evening, and I didn't even remember the way to the courtyard clearly, so I couldn't find any trace of the kitchen.

An Jinshu pulled the red carp around twice and finally saw the kitchen.

Perhaps because there were few people in the yard before, and now people like them live in the owner's family, the kitchen door was not locked.

An Jinshu gently opened the door, and he and Hongli poked their heads in to check. When they saw that there was no movement, they entered the house with confidence.

There was an oily smell in the kitchen, accompanied by the smell of meat and seasonings. The smell, which usually smelled a little uncomfortable, was delicious to the nose of An Jinshu, who was extremely hungry at this moment.

Her stomach growled again: "Quick, look for flour."

Hong Li held the candle and opened the cupboard, rummaged underneath and said in surprise, "Miss here."

So An Jinshu held a small candle, and Hong Li kneaded the dough with her clean hands to make noodles for her. The moonlight poured in from the window edge, and the cicadas were chirping outside, which gave it a different feeling.

Here An Jinshu rested his chin on the stove and watched the red carp kneading dough, while over there he heard the "rustling" sound outside the house.

She cleverly turned her head and stared out the window. The sound sounded like the sound of some kind of reptile.

"What's wrong, miss?" Hong Li couldn't help but ask after seeing her such a big reaction.

"Sister Hongli, did you hear any noise outside? Rustling."

Hong Li shook his head: "I only heard the chirping of cicadas, which gave me a headache."

An Jinshu couldn't help but frown when he saw that she really didn't hear. Could it be that she heard wrongly?

She listened carefully again, but she didn't hear the voice. It seemed that she had heard it wrong.

Turning around, Hongli's noodles had been rolled out, and they were just about to cut them into strips and put them into the pot. At this moment, An Jinshu realized belatedly that the fire hadn't been set yet and the water hadn't boiled yet.

She found another candle from somewhere and lit it to illuminate the red carp. She then found her way to the stove and prepared to light the fire for cooking.

She must have been a cook before, but An Jinshu had trouble for the first time with the wooden block. There were sparks in the stove, but it would be difficult to burn the wooden block with such small sparks.

At this time, he needed to use a fire starter to burn something flammable, but An Jinshu looked behind him and saw only neat pieces of wood and nothing else at all.

"Sister Hongli, why haven't you seen this Huo Yinzi?"

An Jinshu couldn't find anything, so he asked.

Hong Li said, "You shouldn't." He hurried over and found that there really wasn't one.

Hong Li thought for a while: "Miss, I'm afraid the fire starter is outside. This backpack is what holds the fire starter."

Red Carp pointed to a bamboo basket in the corner. There were still some corn silks in the basket.

"Miss, please wait here while I go pack some and come back."

As he said that, the red carp was about to get the basket.

An Jinshu looked at the white noodles in her hand and said immediately: "Yinzi Qing, let me go, I don't want to eat dirty noodles later."

"Then slave girl, please accompany the young lady." Hong Li said worriedly.

To be honest, An Jinshu was also scared. It was so dark outside, and she heard rustling just now. This place couldn't be compared to the Protector's Mansion. It was surrounded by mountains. If that little animal broke in, there would be no one to accompany him. Scared to death.

After hearing what Hong Li said, she immediately nodded: "Okay."

An Jinshu was carrying a small backpack and Hongli was holding a candle. They pushed the door open and left the house.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and their place is close to a lake. A gust of wind blows, and the coolness is covered with a layer of water vapor, making people want to shiver involuntarily.

"Sister Hongli, where is this introduction?"

The two of them walked side by side in the dark night, and the small candle halo could only illuminate the small area in front of them. If it weren't for the moonlight as a candle, the surroundings would be completely invisible.

"Based on my experience as a slave, it should be in the wing room." Hong Li pointed at the house not far away.

An Jinshu walked over and opened the door, and what came into view was a large piece of corn stalks and dried corn skin.

"This is really it."

She put down her backpack and was about to pick up firewood, but as soon as she grabbed a handful of firewood, a black shadow rushed past her eyes.

"Ah!" An Jinshu yelled and sat down on the ground in fright.

"Miss." Hong Li hurriedly stepped forward to help her, ignoring the white face on her hands and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong, miss?"

"There are snakes." An Jinshu pointed at the pile of firewood and was about to stand up with the help of the red carp. The black shadow suddenly jumped out of the basket on her back that had fallen to the ground, and then bit her ankle. .

"Miss!"

This time it was the red carp's turn to scream. She even forgot about her fear. She grabbed the flower snake with her big hand and threw it out with lightning speed.

"Snake...there is a snake..." An Jinshu rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

"Miss, miss, don't sleep, miss, hold on..."

The red carp was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, fearing that the candle in his hand would burn her. In a panic, he only held her body with one hand to prevent her from collapsing on the ground.

But Hong Li is a woman after all, and it would be difficult for her to carry an unconscious person.

There were venomous snakes in the house, and the red carp didn't dare to leave An Jinshu alone in the house. Just when her legs were weak and she was about to drag the snake out of the house first, a big hand took the snake that had turned into a puddle of water from her hand. girl.

Then Hong Li looked at the other person and hugged him over, easily trying to pick up a weightless object.

"Four, fourth young master?"

Why is he here?

Before Hong Li could react, a black shadow descended from the sky, grabbed her and took her away from the house. Then Hong Li lay down on the bluestone at the door of the house in an extremely embarrassed posture.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

She rubbed her arms and looked fiercely at the culprit, the man in black.

Hei Zhou looked at her squeamish expression and screamed in pain after just a slight bump, and couldn't help but sneered: "Squeaky."

The little red carp couldn't hear his voice. If he heard it, he would definitely argue with him.

"What are you two doing here at this midnight?"

Gu Qingchen's voice was colder than the blowing wind. Hongli hurriedly knelt down and replied to him tremblingly: "Back to Fourth Young Master, Miss is hungry. Let's make some noodles."

Gu Qingchen lowered his head and glanced at the girl in his arms. Under the cold moonlight, her little face was as white as the moonlight. Most of the blood on her lips had disappeared, and she was frowning.

"Fourth Young Master, the lady was bitten by a poisonous snake! She needs medical treatment as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Gu Qingchen snorted coldly, indicating that he understood and raised his feet to leave.

Hong Li quickly asked: "Is the fourth young master going to take the young lady to find the madam?"

Gu Qingchen paused in his steps and turned to look at her: "Put the noodles down and bring them to my yard. I will take care of you. There is no need to disturb mother's rest."

Then he told Hei Zhou: "You stay and watch over her, and by the way, you can also settle the other little girl in her house."

"Yes!" Hei Zhou clasped his fists.

Hong Li still wanted to chase, but Hei Zhou held a long sword in front of her: "You don't want your lady to wake up and see you missing arms and legs, right?"

Hong Li gritted her teeth and glared at him, but Hei Zhou glanced at her with a cross eyebrow and she immediately shrank her neck and went to make noodles in despair.
