Chapter 292

Aunt Chun saw this and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'll go get your towel to wipe it!" Then she left the house.

Fuwang seemed not very happy to be with Chu Zhiyi, and followed Aunt Chun to leave.

Chu Zhiyi glanced at Lao Wu and said, "There are clothes in the closet, change them!"

Chu Zhiyi's room is both a bedroom and a living room, and the closet is not far away.

Lao Wu seemed to understand Chu Zhiyi's meaning, and immediately went to the closet, found a coarse cloth shirt, and changed in front of Qiao Nian.

The tiger head tattoo on the chest was particularly obvious.

As if she had confirmed something, Qiao Nian's panic slowly calmed down.

She sat back in her seat and ate with big mouthfuls. When Aunt Chun came in again, her face was fine.

Lao Wu took the towel and wiped it, and subconsciously looked at Chu Zhiyi. Some things were already tacitly understood.

After dinner, Chu Zhiyi went to borrow the ox cart, but Qiao Nian said that she was much better and refused to go to the town. Chu Zhiyi did not persuade her and returned the ox cart.

In the afternoon, Chu Zhiyi still took Fuwang to work in the fields and came back in the evening.

Fuwang was almost limp and went back to sleep without taking a bath.

Aunt Chun felt very distressed, but thinking of what Chu Zhiyi said before, she could only force herself to be hard-hearted.

It was night.

Chu Zhiyi seemed tired too, and went to sleep in the shed after dinner.

Time passed bit by bit.

Qiao Nian had been in Hewan Village for so long, and she had never felt that time had passed so long.

She lay on the bed, staring at the dilapidated beams, waiting quietly.

Waiting for the moonlight to slowly climb up her cheeks, Qiao Nian sat up from the bed when she estimated that it was close to midnight.

Through the window, she saw Chu Zhiyi was still sleeping soundly.

So, she limped out the door, slowly and quietly.

In her hand was the embroidery needle that she had asked Aunt Chun for in the afternoon.

She didn't know if she could succeed, but the medical book given to her by the court doctor said that after piercing the acupuncture point below the clavicle, the other person's hand on the same side could not move.

Her palms were slightly sweaty. For Qiao Nian, Chu Zhiyi was her lifesaver, but if this lifesaver was in collusion with the bandits who killed Jing Yan, she would never be soft-hearted!

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, picked up the embroidery needle and stabbed Chu Zhiyi.

But the silver needle did not penetrate Chu Zhiyi's skin.

Qiao Nian's wrist was already tightly held by his broad palm.

Chu Zhiyi opened his eyes, and under the night, his pupils still flashed a sharp light.

But when he saw the embroidery needle in Qiao Nian's hand, Chu Zhiyi was still stunned.

He thought she would at least go to the kitchen to get a knife.

When he met Chu Zhiyi's eyes, Qiao Nian finally realized that Chu Zhiyi was just pretending to sleep.

He quickly reacted and stabbed again with his other hand holding the embroidery needle.

But he was still stopped by Chu Zhiyi, but this time, Chu Zhiyi felt a stinging pain. Qiao Nian shot the embroidery needle into his body like shooting a stone.

Half of the needle was exposed outside the skin, and Chu Zhiyi felt that half of his body had lost consciousness in an instant.

He was shocked and immediately turned over and relied on his absolute strength to suppress Qiao Nian. With only one hand and one leg, he pressed Qiao Nian to the wooden board.

Qiao Nian was still struggling, but Chu Zhiyi didn't need to take her strength seriously.

Then I only heard that deep voice coming, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

"I don't want to kill you." Qiao Nian's voice was trembling, and I didn't know whether it was pain or sadness, and tears came out, "I'm just avenging my fiancé!"

Chu Zhiyi's eyebrows sank, "Your fiancé?"

Many faces suddenly appeared in his mind, but he had killed too many people, and he really couldn't think of who her fiancé was.

Qiao Nian knew that she couldn't get revenge today, but she was not afraid, "I know you are my benefactor, but you are in collusion with the mountain bandits in Yongbei! They killed countless people, robbed and slaughtered villages, and did all kinds of evil! You are brothers with them, and you are not a good person!"

Chu Zhiyi finally understood that Qiao Nian thought he was a mountain bandit.

At that moment, he let her go and took two steps back.

Qiao Nian also sat up, her eyes were red, tears flowed down her eyes, she watched Chu Zhiyi lower his head to pull out the embroidery needle, but she could only bite her lips and did not move.

She failed to subdue him while he was asleep, and now that he was awake, she was even less of an opponent.

"I am not a bandit, and neither are my brothers." Chu Zhiyi explained.

Qiao Nian did not believe it, "I have seen the wanted order for your arrest in Beijing!"

"It's just similar." Chu Zhiyi said lightly, his eyes fell on the peace buckle on her chest.

Qiao Nian clenched her fists, wiped away a tear stubbornly, and then said, "You say I believe you? How is it such a coincidence that you and the bandits have the same tattoo?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhiyi did not know how to answer for a while.

He wanted to say that it was up to her to believe it or not, and if she didn't want to stay, she could leave.

But on second thought, if she really believed that he and his brothers were bandits, she would complain to the court and cause countless troubles.

With a frown, he finally walked to a nearby place, grabbed a stool and sat down.

"When he gave you the peace locket, did he tell you why?"

Chu Zhiyi was gambling.

He knew that it was a risky decision to tell Qiao Nian about his identity at this moment, but it would be more dangerous if Qiao Nian misunderstood him as a bandit.

Moreover, after spending the past few days together, he felt that she was not bad-hearted, otherwise she should have used a sharp weapon instead of an ordinary embroidery needle when attacking him just now.

What's more, she is Jing Yan's sister.

Jing Yan's sister at least knows what morality is.

Qiao Nian didn't expect Chu Zhiyi to suddenly mention the peace locket, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the peace locket on her chest. When she looked at Chu Zhiyi again, her eyes were already stained with some doubts.

How did he know that this peace locket was not hers?

He only listened to Chu Zhiyi continue, "This peace locket was carved by me."

As the voice fell, he watched her eyes grow bigger and brighter.

Full of disbelief.

Qiao Nian remembered what Jing Yan said when he put the peace locket on her personally.

He said that this was carved by King Pingyang himself.

But the person in front of him said that he carved it.

He is the King of Pingyang?

Chu Zhiyi, Yi, Baiyu...

"The tiger head tattoo is the symbol of the Tiger Guard. I don't know why those bandits also have tiger heads, but there is a difference between the two. When you get the wanted order, you can compare them carefully."

Chu Zhiyi said, his voice was a little cold, "Any more questions?"

Qiao Nian seemed to have just reacted, stood up suddenly, and knelt down in front of Chu Zhiyi, "I am Qiao Nian, the commoner, and I meet the King of Pingyang!"
