At the critical moment, Zhu Ping'an responded calmly, blocking his chest with one hand and quickly stabbing the dagger upwards with the other hand.
You are a wild wolf, right
You are cruel enough, aren't you!
Then I will be more cruel than you. Zhu Ping'an, with one arm bitten by the wolf, stabbed the dagger into the wolf's heart with one hand, letting its blood splatter on the spot and dyeing the white snow beneath him red.
However
Zhu Ping'an still underestimated this bloodthirsty wolf. The wolf, which had rich hunting experience, twisted its body in mid-air and pounced on the snow on Zhu Ping'an's right side, making Zhu Ping'an's response useless.
The moment it landed, the wolf pounced on Zhu Ping'an's wide-open neck, and its fangs bit Zhu Ping'an's carotid artery with precision.
Fast, accurate, ruthless
At this moment, the wild wolf brought these three words to full play, and the wild wolf was also very cunning. The right side was Zhu Ping'an's blind spot. Zhu Ping'an held a dagger in his right hand, and it was easy for him to stab to the left, but it was a bit difficult to stab to the right.
Zhu Ping'an only had time to stab the dagger in his right hand into the ground on his right side in a very awkward posture, while using his left hand to protect his neck.
The fishy wind blew in his face, and even the horse blood in the wolf's mouth sprayed onto Zhu Ping'an's face.
The winner of this competition is clear.
The wild wolf is born with the advantage of speed, and it also has the advantage of first-strike. A bloody feast is about to happen. The wild wolf's amber eyes flash with bloodthirsty light.
The wolf's fangs were only one inch away from Zhu Ping'an's carotid artery, while Zhu Ping'an's dagger was still seven or eight inches away from the wolf's body.
At this critical moment, there was a loud sound of piercing the air, and then a long spear pierced the air. With a "clang", it pierced the wolf's neck and nailed the wolf straight to the snow. The tail of the spear was still vibrating.
Howling wind
Snowflakes
The hot wolf blood sprayed all over Zhu Ping'an's face, blurring his eyes.
The wolf didn't even have time to yell before it was pierced by the spear and fell on the snow. The wolf's amber eyes still retained their bloodthirsty luster, and the blood stained the snow red.
Because his eyes were blurred by the blood, Zhu Ping'an only saw a blurry figure approaching slowly, his footsteps making a series of creaking sounds on the snow, and he vaguely saw that the person was tall and strong, just like the knights described in Jin Yong's novels.
As the man approached, Zhu Pingan was thinking whether to say "thank you, hero", "thank you, good man", or "thank you, benefactor". Just when he was about to say something, before he opened his mouth, the man who was walking towards him had already spoken.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Son-in-law
This call made Zhu Ping'an swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and he let out a series of coughs.
Wait, what's going on here, son-in-law? Did I recognize the wrong person or is this a special local name? Or did I hear it wrong
"Son-in-law, are you okay?" The man came quickly and helped Zhu Ping'an up with some concern.
This time, Zhu Pingan heard it clearly. The pronunciation of the word "guye" was very standard.
After being helped up by the visitor, Zhu Ping'an wiped the wolf blood off his face with his sleeve. After wiping away the wolf blood that blurred his eyes, the long-lost brightness returned to his vision, and he could see clearly the person who helped him up and saved him, and then he felt unwell.
This person knows himself
It was Wang Xiaoer, a servant of Li Shu's family in Shanghe Village, who had given him silver twice.
Why is he here
Why did he call himself uncle
Can anyone tell me what is going on
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for saving me. I will never forget it." Zhu Ping'an bowed his head. In addition to expressing his gratitude, Zhu Ping'an was full of confusion as to why he was called son-in-law. What on earth was going on
When Zhu Ping'an bowed deeply to express his gratitude, Wang Xiaoer stepped aside and quickly helped Zhu Ping'an up.
"Son-in-law, you can't do this. You can't do this." Wang Xiaoer helped Zhu Ping'an up and said repeatedly.
Another uncle?!
"Brother Wang, you..." Zhu Pingan was full of doubts.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I'd like to thank you, brother-in-law." Wang Xiaoer's face was full of smiles. He clasped his hands together and congratulated Zhu Ping'an.
"After my son-in-law left home yesterday, Madam Chen sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to our young lady. Our master also happened to be home, and when he heard that it was a young man, he was very satisfied. After Master Zhu and Madam Chen came with the betrothal gifts, they decided on the marriage of the young man and the young lady that day. Congratulations, my son-in-law, here is the written marriage certificate."
As Wang Xiaoer spoke, he took out an extremely exquisite marriage contract from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an had not yet recovered from Wang Xiaoer's words for a while. His mind was blank and he reflexively took the marriage certificate handed over by Wang Xiaoer.
He saw that the marriage certificate was made extremely precisely, with his name and the name of the scheming girl Li Shu in the middle, and then there was the name of the matchmaker, the name of the guarantor, and the names of his and Li Shu's parents.
In the main body of the marriage certificate, one's birth date, betrothal gifts, etc. were written very clearly. Even one's appearance was written very clearly, leaving no possibility of impersonation.
What the hell, what’s going on
That black-bellied, willful, arrogant, rude, and vicious Li Shu is actually going to become his wife
A few days ago, this girl was calling me a toad and calling me a toad. I have no attraction to her at all. This girl must have made a big fuss at home. Judging from the way that Mr. Li dotes on Li Shu, it is estimated that it won't be long before I receive a letter of termination of contract.
Well, Miss Li, you can make as much trouble as you want, so as to avoid having to break off the engagement.
After all, the servant had saved his life, so how could he say no? Moreover, in ancient times, it was considered treason to break off the engagement in defiance of one's parents' orders. Especially since he was going to pursue a career in government, this kind of behavior would be used as a handle if someone caught him.
If I cancel the engagement, I might be regarded as Chen Shimei who was killed. Think about it, I got engaged and then took the imperial examination. If I passed the imperial examination and became a top scholar, if I cancel the engagement, people would think that I had abandoned my fiancée after achieving success.
So, go ahead and make as much noise as you want, Miss Li.
However, in Zhu Ping'an's mind, Miss Li, who had turned the Li family upside down, was sitting quietly on her embroidered bed reading a book, and the handwriting seemed to be Zhu Ping'an's.
"Miss, Miss, are you really going to marry that bad guy from Xiahe Village?" A chubby little maid with a blushing face asked her mistress shyly.
"So what if she doesn't want to get married? It's my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. What can I do?" Miss Li replied calmly without moving her watery eyes away from the book and without raising her head.
“But, but”
"But what? You thought I was willing, but who made my father agree?"
When the maid Baozi heard this, her face turned even redder, and her head almost dropped to the ground. She was so embarrassed. If the young lady wanted to marry that bad guy, then she would be embarrassed. She was the young lady's maidservant. (To be continued)
