I just want to live a good life

Chapter 322 Wait for me

"anyone there?"

Su Qingmo asked loudly for the third time.

There was no response from inside the door. The four, five, six or three people who were in charge of guarding Su Nuan and the house were in the kitchen, listening to the sound of frying red oil. The sound of the spatula flipping and their own coughing covered up the knock on the door.

"It looks like an empty house. Why don't we go in and take a look?" Su Qingmo suggested.

The two of them had been wandering in the woods for a long time, and they were tired and hungry. Even if there was no food in the house, it would be nice to have a place for them to have a good rest.

So Su Qingmo's proposal was quickly responded to, and the two of them pushed open the door of the house.

The house looks big from the outside and even bigger from the inside. Behind a screen wall is a large garden with mountains and water.

As the two were admiring the grandeur of the garden, they saw a thick smoke rising in the distance.

Oh no, there's a fire!

Without thinking too much, the two men rushed towards where the smoke was rising, ready to rescue people.

"Cough, cough, cough, no, I can't stand it anymore, this is too choking!"

The fourth brother left the kitchen, followed by the fifth brother.

The two were choked by the smoke and were crying and wiping their noses with their sleeves while coughing.

Chu Qi and Su Qingmo saw this scene when they rushed over.

The duo wiping tears were startled by the two people who suddenly broke in, but their eyes were so badly smoked by the smoke that their eyes were blurred with tears and they couldn't see the intruder's face clearly.

The fourth brother was older after all, so he had to stay calm at this time. He held the hilt of the knife and shouted, "Who is it?"

Su Qingmo is good at dealing with people, but only with ordinary people. When he encounters someone brandishing swords and guns, he automatically retreats behind Chu Qi.

Chu Qi was obsessed with handicrafts, and he relied entirely on his innocent heart when dealing with people. When he saw tears in the other person's eyes, he softened his heart.

"Brother, we are not bad people. We just got lost in the woods and would like to stay overnight at your house."

"No." The fourth brother refused without thinking.

Chu Qi was anxious, "It's just for one night, I can pay for it."

"I said no, it means no, get out of here now."

"Fourth brother, I think these two guys look cunning and don't look like good people. Should we really let them go? What if we are exposed? It's better to kill them." The fifth brother whispered to the fourth brother.

He lowered his voice very low, but besides the fourth brother, two other people still heard it. One was Chu Qi and the other was Su Nuan.

Su Nuan's big pot of chili not only made Siwuliu choke, but she herself was not much better off. She hurt the enemy by a thousand and also hurt herself by eight hundred.

He was choked to tears and had to come out of the kitchen.

As soon as she came out, she heard Lao Wu's whisper, and she thought that she couldn't let Siwuliu kill people. The two people coming out were simply angels sent to her by God. She must save their lives and then let them bring help to her.

It was a beautiful thought, but the next second, they heard two people say in unison: "Concubine Xia!"

The voices sounded familiar. Su Nuan never expected to meet someone familiar in such a place. She quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves. She looked again and saw that the two people were indeed people she recognized.

"Why are you here?"

If it were someone else, Su Nuan would definitely think that they were looking for her, but she didn't have that confidence about these two people.

Chu Qi and Su Qingmo's stay in the imperial city were both related to Su Nuan. One promised to work for her for three years, and the other took a lot of commissions from her, but ran away when she disappeared. It was quite unkind to say it out loud, so the two of them dodged when Su Nuan asked them, looking very unnatural.

Su Nuan misunderstood, thinking that the two people did not dare to reply because there was some other hidden reason, maybe they really came to find her. She was so happy in her heart, but at the same time she was secretly complaining. These two people just barged in so blatantly, and revealed the fact that they recognized her as soon as they came in. Their IQ was really touching.

If a fight breaks out later, I don't know if Chu Qi can beat three alone. The four, five and six are all very skilled. If we use falcons as the unit of measurement, it's about the same as three falcons. Chu Qi has never fought with falcons, so he can't measure it, but considering that he is Ye Yin's junior brother, he can be counted as one and a half falcons. It will be obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

Su Nuan rubbed her temples helplessly, and comforted herself again and again in her heart that two more people are always better than her alone, and three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

Not only did Su Nuan misunderstand Chu Qi and Su Qingmo's dodging, but also four, five, and six who followed Su Nuan out of the kitchen, also misunderstood. They had the same idea as Su Nuan, that these two people must have come to rescue people.

There's nothing much to say about this, just get your weapons.

Then, three knives came out of their sheaths with a clang.

No matter how naive Chu Qi was, he could see that the current situation was unfavorable.

His brows were furrowed, his back teeth were clenching, and then he made a decision.

Just when four, five, or six people were surrounding him, Chu Qi turned around and ran away without any warning. He used his lightness skills that were faster than a rabbit, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The five people were left looking at each other.

Shouldn't we fight?

The fifth brother subconsciously looked at the fourth brother, "Fourth brother, what should we do?"

"What should I do? Chase me!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them "flew" out.

Although Su Nuan was also stunned by Chu Qi's behavior, she thought quickly. While Lao Liu was still in shock, she picked up a fire poker and swung it at the back of Lao Liu's head.

This attack was fast and accurate. Lao Liu heard a strange noise behind him, but it was too late to dodge. He was hit hard and fell to the ground with a groan.

In this situation, of course she would have to make up for it once to be on the safe side, but Su Nuan couldn't bring herself to do it. She knew she shouldn't be soft-hearted. It was just to protect herself the first time, and she could feel at ease swinging the fire poker to attack, but she couldn't get over the psychological barrier of killing someone the second time.

"Concubine Xia, is he dead?"

Su Qingmo asked Su Nuan tremblingly.

Su Nuan replied: "Don't ask so many questions, just run."

In fact, even if she didn't say it, Su Qingmo would have run away. He had already assumed his position, and as soon as Su Nuan finished speaking, he ran far away.

Ugh!

Su Nuan sighed. She couldn’t be picky at this time. She should be happy that someone came to save her. Now there were two people, one to lead away the enemy and the other to clear the way for her. How great!

Thinking of this, Su Nuan chased in the direction of Su Qingmo.

Perhaps because she exercised regularly, she caught up with Su Qingmo in just a few steps, and soon left him far behind.

"Concubine Xia, wait for me!"

When Su Qingmo's crying voice came, Su Nuan wished she could sew his mouth shut.

But no matter how much she hated it, she still slowed down.

There was no other way. If he continued crying and shouting, he might attract four or five people and then he would not be able to escape.

During the subsequent escape, Su Nuan always stayed about five steps ahead of Su Qingmo, which not only prevented him from feeling left behind, but also enabled him to speed up.
