Chapter 74
74 Attacked
She had to admit, the heavens were on her side!
The next day, a group of people wanted to go to town to buy cows, but it started raining that night.
The rain was heavy, so it was impossible to set up shop.
Luo Cheng and the others each took an umbrella and prepared to walk to town.
Due to the rain, there were very few pedestrians on the official road, so even after walking for a long time, only Luo Cheng and his group walking in the rain.
The wound on Li Xiaoran’s forehead was almost healed, but Luo Cheng still didn’t forget to remind her not to get wet.
By the time they reached town, the rain had stopped.
Seeing that everyone was more or less drenched, Luo Cheng simply brought everyone to the house in town.
After knowing that Luo Han had bought the house in town, everyone became less reserved.
After that, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran went out to buy clothes for everyone.
Zhao Xiu, Li Shun, and the others weren’t idle either. Seeing that there was firewood in the kitchen and a well in the courtyard, they simply boiled a large pot of water and let everyone wipe their bodies.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran entered a ready-to-wear shop. Before they could say anything, they heard a sarcastic voice.
“Look, it seems like anyone can walk into this shop! Shopkeeper, this is how your shop does business?! Look at how poor these two are. They’re an eyesore!” A luxuriously dressed woman glanced at Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran with disdain and covered her face.
Before the shopkeeper could say anything, Li Xiaoran counterattacked.
“Husband, when I went to the temple previously, I heard the monk say that what you think of others is what you’re truly like! At that time, I didn’t understand what he meant, but I finally understood today. It seems that my comprehension isn’t good!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
When the shopkeeper and the attendanr in the shop heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they tried their best not to laugh.
To be honest, they were also very annoyed by the woman in front of them.
Unfortunately, they had ordinary statuses. The other party had a powerful background, so they didn’t dare to offend her.
“You’re actually scolding me?” The proud woman finally reacted. She glared at Li Xiaoran and scolded, “Do you know who I am? Do you know the consequences of offending me?”
“You’re not stupid! I don’t know who you are, nor do I know the consequences of offending you, but I know one thing. You’re going to be unlucky today!” Li Xiaoran glanced at the other party and said, “I’ll give you a piece of advice. You’d better go home quickly. Otherwise, you’ll really suffer!”
As soon as Li Xiaoran said this, the other party was furious and reached out to slap Li Xiaoran.
Who was Li Xiaoran? She naturally wouldn’t let others hit her. She directly grabbed the other party’s wrist and took the opportunity to approach.
It was unknown what Li Xiaoran said in the girl’s ear, but the other party’s expression changed immediately. Then, her face flushed.
After that, the woman didn’t buy anything else. She didn’t even take the clothes she had chosen previously. She called the maid and left in a hurry.
Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran with a probing gaze.
Others might not have heard what Li Xiaoran said to that girl, but Luo Cheng, a martial artist, heard it clearly.
At that time, Li Xiaoran asked the other party to pay attention to the maid beside her so that she wouldn’t be schemed against by a maid who had ulterior motives!
His curiosity made Luo Cheng want to ask something, but he didn’t.
This wasn’t the place to ask questions, and this wasn’t the time.
After that, the two of them started choosing clothes as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, the goods in this ready-to-wear shop were well-prepared. After buying a few clothes, the two of them paid and left.
On the way back, Luo Cheng finally asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.
“Wife, there’s a question I didn’t ask you yesterday, but I’m even more puzzled about it today! Yesterday, before Wang Mingjiang even came in, your expression changed and you looked out of the door. Today, you said to that girl that there was something wrong with her maid. How did you know?”
When Li Xiaoran heard that Luo Cheng had finally asked this question, she thought about it and was about to say something when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
“Be careful!” Li Xiaoran looked in a direction and saw an arrow coming from a tree not far away.
Because the distance wasn’t very far, the arrow was already almost at his back when Luo Cheng noticed it.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoran pulled him and he dodged this arrow.
“They’re on the big tree on the right. There are a total of six people on the other side. Four of them are hiding behind the wall on both sides, and one of them is behind a big rock in front!” Li Xiaoran said quickly as she pulled Luo Cheng to dodge.
Luo Cheng couldn’t be bothered to ask why Li Xiaoran knew this. He jumped and brought Li Xiaoran to a corner.
“Wait for me here. Don’t come out!”
With that, Luo Cheng took the lead to deal with the person who rushed out of the left wall.
After that, Luo Cheng grabbed the hidden arrow that had been flying over and threw it at the person hiding in the tree that Li Xiaoran had mentioned.
The other party didn’t expect Luo Cheng to see through his hiding place at a glance. He was hit by his arrow and fell from the tree.
On the other side, Luo Cheng was already fighting the killer hiding by the wall on the right.
When the assassin hiding behind the big rock saw that Li Xiaoran was alone, he wanted to circle around and capture her.
Unfortunately, as soon as he moved out of the big rock, he wasn’ticed by Luo Cheng. Then, he pulled out an arrow from the ground and shot it at the killer who wanted to capture Li Xiaoran.
The arrowhead entered the other party’s flesh, and then the person stopped breathing.
Just like that, Luo Cheng had nothing to worry about anymore and focused on dealing with the two killers in front of him.
After the six killers were dealt with, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.
Luo Cheng walked over and sized up Li Xiaoran carefully. After confirming that she wasn’t injured, he was relieved.
“Let’s go! We can’t stay here for long. Let’s leave quickly!”
“What about these people?” Li Xiaoran pointed at the group of people lying on the ground.
“Don’t worry! Someone will deal with the aftermath!” With that, Luo Cheng pulled Li Xiaoran back to the house.
When Li Shun and the others saw Luo Cheng pulling Li Xiaoran back while covered in blood, they were immediately shocked.
“What’s going on?”
