Huo Yan half-squinted his eyes and said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and leave?"

Su Ruanruan didn't know what was happening in the darkness behind her. She glanced around and quickly walked towards the nearest clinic.

But it was so late and the door of the clinic was already closed. Su Ruanruan gritted her teeth and went forward to knock on the door.

After a long time, hurried footsteps were heard in the room, but what came next was angry curses through the door.

Su Ruanruan could only smile and said, "Boss, there is a patient with fever at home. I want to prepare some antipyretic medicine. Can you help me?"

"Go, go, go, you're disturbing my sweet dreams. We'll talk in the morning."

"If you would be so kind as to ask for double the money."

"I won't open the door even if you pay three times as much. Get out of here!"

Su Runrun pursed her lips tightly. She really wanted to move a stone and smash his door. He was really stubborn.

But imagine if he howled and attracted the night watchman, it would be troublesome.

In the end, I could only leave in disappointment.

Go find the next clinic.

Su Runrun walked slowly and there was no one to be seen on the road except her.

The silence was a little scary.

She looked up suddenly and saw a dark shadow flashing in front of her.

She quickly lowered her head and held the lantern tightly.

No way, no way, it must be my hallucination.

In this horrible weather, I’m scared even if I can’t see anyone, and even scarier when I see a human shadow.

Su Ruanruan kept chanting "Amitabha."

But the next moment, she clearly felt a hand on her shoulder.

Su Ruanruan felt that the temperature around her had dropped a few degrees.

My body froze in place, and cold sweat broke out on my back.

My feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

The leaves were rustling, and there seemed to be a roar in the wind.

Ah...it really is a ghost.

Su Ruanruan held the lantern in one hand and quietly reached into her sleeve with the other.

She was afraid of such a dark night, and she was even more afraid of such ghostly people.

Real ghosts are not scary. People who pretend to be ghosts are the scariest.

She stared blankly ahead, and another vague white shadow flashed by.

Behind her, the "ghost claw" was still on her shoulder.

The sad and ethereal voice resounded in the darkness again.

Su Ruanruan closed her eyes tightly.

All that was in my mind were scenes of myself being bullied in my previous life.

She has already died once, what is there to be afraid of!

When she opened her eyes again, a hint of cruelty flashed in Su Ruanruan's eyes.

He twisted his feet, turned quickly, and stabbed the "ghost" behind him with the dagger in his hand.

Huo Yan never expected that the delicate woman in front of him did not show any panic or fear in her eyes.

When he saw her fierce gaze, he was stunned.

He had never seen such an expression in a woman's eyes. It reminded him of the same woman who remained calm in front of a cold corpse.

It was because of this momentary distraction that a cut was made on his arm.

Although this injury was nothing to him, she didn't expect Su Ruanruan to hit him so hard.

She really tried her best.

In the distance, Jin Yu and Niu Mang saw this scene and ran over.

Looking at Su Ruanruan in disbelief.

Jin Yu tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and bandaged Huo Yan's wound.

Niu Mang looked at Su Ruanruan and said, "Girl, you are too cruel, aren't you?"

Su Ruanruan lowered her hands, with blood beads rolling on the tip of the dagger in her hand.

She looked at Huo Yan who was looking at her coldly, and said word by word, "I didn't expect it was you. Are you playing tricks on me? Is it fun?"

"You are the county constables, receiving salaries from the imperial court, but instead of investigating cases and arresting thieves, you tease a commoner like me. This is extremely despicable."

"You can't blame me for what happened today. I was just protecting myself. If you sue me for assault, I will confront you in court when the sun rises. But I don't have time to argue with you right now."

Su Ruanruan looked at the dagger in her hand, and then at Huo Yan's bleeding arm.

"I don't want your things, I'll give them back to you!"

She took the dagger and wiped it on his sleeve, returning the blood stain.

Only then did he put away the dagger.

She took the lantern and walked away quickly.

He even turned around and laughed at the three people, "Childish!"

Jin Yu and Niu Mang were stunned by her actions.

My goodness, it was the first time they had seen such a... well, how should I describe it? A woman who was different from the others.

Huo Yan was also angered by Su Ruanruan's behavior and gritted his teeth and said, "Su Ruanruan!"

Su Ruanruan didn't even turn her head back, and her steps became faster and faster.

Huo Yan was a normal person, but she didn't expect him to act like a ghost and scare a young lady like her.

Such a big and strong man can be so childish.

None of the kids in kindergarten are as speechless as him.

Alas, she actually cut his arm.

I don't know whether he will come to settle the score with me.

It's safer to stay away from him.

She went to three clinics in a row, but none of them were open, so she had to change to another one.

Su Ruanruan stood at the door, making her final struggle.

His tone was much softer, "Doctor, there is a patient with fever at home, please be kind and open the door!"

Su Ruanruan peeked inside through the crack in the door, but there was no light in the shop.

After a long time, an angry voice came, "I say, you, are you going to let me sleep?!"

Su Ruanruan pursed her lips and was about to smile again.

A tall figure appeared beside him.

Su Ruanruan looked up, and with the help of the lantern in her hand, she finally saw his appearance clearly.

“……”It’s really haunting.

But he didn't look at her.

A fist as big as a sandbag slammed hard on the door.

Inside, the man thought it was the woman who had just banged on the door, and cursed at her twice.

He was shuffling his shoes, furious.

Oil lamps were also lit inside the house.

After a moment, the door was opened from the inside, and the shopkeeper was about to get angry when he saw Su Ruanruan.

But she saw Huo Yan flashing out from behind her.

His face changed instantly and his brain was working rapidly.

It seems that there hasn't been any unethical business going on in the shop recently.

How come the county police chief is here at this time?

The shopkeeper changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book, and his wrinkled face was filled with smiles.

"Captain Huo, what brings you here? Our shop has been very honest recently and has not raised the prices of medicines."

Huo Yan lowered his eyes, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

But she didn't respond to him, just raised her injured arm.

He said coldly, "Bandage the wound."

The shopkeeper then noticed that his arm was tied with white cloth, and blood could be vaguely seen.

I was quite puzzled and wondered: Why did Captain Huo get injured in the middle of the night?

He quickly invited Huo Yan in and turned back to get the medicine box.

Su Ruanruan also squeezed in.

The shopkeeper was displeased and pointed at the door, "Get out."
