Song Yiren lay awake in bed, tossing and turning. As long as she thought about Zhan Yihan coming to propose marriage tomorrow, she bit her teeth with hatred.
“No, I must not let Su Jinyue succeed.” Song Yiren sat up. Climbing out of bed, she hopped on one foot to the drawers. Opening a drawer, she pulled out an object wrapped in a handkerchief.
Looking at the handkerchief, Song Yiren’s eyes narrowed with a ferociousness. Taking a deep breath, she opened the handkerchief, layer by layer. Inside lay a bamboo flute. The flute was as short as the little finger with a delicate pattern drawn on. On a closer look, it looked like a poppy in full bloom.
Song Yiren held the bamboo flute tightly in her hand. “Su Jinyue, I will never let Brother Zhan marry you. He is mine. Don’t even think about taking him away.”
Using the wall as support, Song Yiren hopped outside, step by step.
***
At night, the small river behind the house was quiet. Occasionally a splash could be heard as the fish swam by.
Song Yiren looked around and sat down on the riverbank, panting heavily. Catching her breath, she took out the bamboo flute. Looking at it for a while, she held it up to her mouth and blew.
The sound of the bamboo flute seemed a little weird in this dark night.
Song Yiren gradually became scared in her heart. She glanced around and couldn’t help but shudder. Wasn’t it said someone would show up as long as she played the bamboo flute? Why is there no one? The person who gave her the flute didn’t lie, right?
Three months ago, when collecting herbs in the mountain, she ran into a seriously injured middle-aged man on the side of the road. She took pity on him and saved him. In order to repay her, the other party gave her the bamboo flute. He said he would do three things for her. This was the first time she used the bamboo flute.
“Looking for me?” A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Song Yiren was scared out of her skin, all her hair standing on end. She almost fell into the river. Stabilizing her mind, she looked at the incoming person. The other party was tightly wrapped in black from head to toe, only leaving the eyes exposed. There was no way of discerning the other person's appearance. “Are, are you a ghost?”
She had never seen a person in such strange attire before.
“Why did you use the bamboo flute to call me over?” The man in black coldly asked.
Song Yiren looked at the bamboo flute in her hand. She saved the person’s life. He probably wouldn’t lie to her. “I want you to kidnap someone.”
As long as Su Jinyue disappeared, Brother Zhan would not marry.
The man nodded, “Who?”
“Su Jinyue. I want you to send her away, as far as possible. Never let her return to Shanfxin Village.” Song Yiren didn’t want to be so cruel to Su Jinyue, but who told Su Jinyue to snatch someone she liked.
***
Su Jinyue absorbed the spiritual energy in the snake gall. Opening her eyes, she looked at the wall intently. Her eyes have broken through to the second level of Wisdom Eye. Her X-ray vision could now be maintained for about five minutes.
Looking through the thick walls, she soon saw the scenery behind the house. Su Jinyue smiled happily.
At this moment, two dark shadows came into Su Jinyue’s vision. She was taken aback. Wasn’t that Song Yiren? What was she doing by the river so late at night? She and Song Yiren have known each other for many years. She could naturally recognize her figure at a glance.
Looking at the man in black who was with Song Yiren, Su Jinyue was startled. A bad premonition immediately rose in her heart. She had seen a similar person in the previous life. At that time, the person in black wanted her life. It was Yihan who rushed over to save her in time. The man turned out to be related to Song Yiren.
Su Jinyue immediately got up. Opening the door, she ran out. No matter for what purpose Song Yiren called the man in black, she couldn’t waste time worrying about it right now.
Song Yiren walked into the yard and pointed to Su Jinyue’s room, “She lives there.”
The man nodded and flashed forward. He took out a dagger to gently pry open the window and jumped in.
Song Yiren smiled coldly and hopped to her room. There will be a good show tomorrow.
Closing the door, Song Yiren jumped over to the bed. As she was about to get into bed, she heard knocking on her window.
Going over to open the window, Song Yiren saw the man in black standing outside.
Noticing that the man did not have Su Jinyue, Song Yiren was a little surprised. “Where is Su Jinyue?”
“Not in the room.” The man in black said. He had already looked all over.
Song Yiren frowned, “She should be in the bathroom.”
“I have looked. There is only an old man in the house.”
“Impossible! Where would she go so late at night?” Song Yiren said in disbelief.
“Yiren.” Xu Tiansheng’s voice startled Song Yiren.
She quickly whispered to the man in black, “You go find her. I suspect she has gone to the Zhan’s house.”
Su Jinyue couldn’t know that she would deal with her tonight. The only possibility was that she went to secretly meet Brother Zhan. How shameless!
The man in black nodded and ran outside.
“Yiren, still not asleep?” There was a soft knock on the door.
“I’m sleeping. Just got up to go to the bathroom.”
Hearing Xu Tiansheng’s footsteps going away, Song Yiren sighed. She turned her head and looked out the window with a sullen smile on her lips. Su Jinyue, don’t blame me for being cruel. You forced me.
Su Jinyue went to the Zhan’s house. Through the crack of the door, she saw all the lights had already been turned off. After pondering for a moment, she turned and ran out of the village. She couldn’t bother Yihan. The man in black was not simple at first sight. It would be bad if he hurt his family.
Running for a while, a dark figure appeared in front of Su Jinyue. Immediately squatting down, she slowly moved to a nearby house, hiding.
The man came in front of the Zhan’s house. Looking around, he jumped over the wall and lept inside.
Seeing the man in black going into the Zhan’s house, Su Jinyue was full of anxiety. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Song Yiren to let the man come deal with Yihan. So, the man came here looking for her. After not finding her, he should immediately leave.
Su Jinyue quickly made a decision and ran towards the entrance of the village. No matter if the man in black was targetting her or not, she couldn’t let her guard down.
***
“Who?!” Zhan Yihan suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up.
The man in black didn’t expect Zhan Yihan would be so alert. He turned and ran. Zhan Yihan was definitely not an ordinary person, being able to discover his presence so quickly. He couldn’t stay here long.
Zhan Yihan chased the man in black out of the room. As he was about to chase him out to the yard, Zhan Dafeng’s voice sounded from inside, “Yihan, what happened?”
“There is a thief.” Zhan Yihan said. That person should not be a thief, but why did they come to his house?
“Thief! Yihan, go and see if the gifts are missing.” Wang Meizhen’s anxious voice rang out, followed by the sound of hurriedly putting on shoes. She had already prepared the bride price for tomorrow’s marriage proposal. She hoped it was not stolen by the thief.
“Alright.” Zhan Yihan replied and walked toward the hall. Tomorrow’s matters were most important.
