The Red Mansions

Chapter 159 Thieves attack, meet on rainy night

It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River.

At noon, it was a fine sunny day, and suddenly it began to drizzle.

The sky and the earth were shrouded in gloom, and at night, the rain didn't stop.

In the dark night, you can't see your fingers.

"Cry! Cry!..."

The eagles that had been kept in the front yard suddenly flew up into the sky with their wings fluttering, and they circled in the night sky with a loud howling sound.

The guard on duty in the courtyard was shocked, and gently drew the knife out of its sheath without making a sound.

After a few breaths, the guards who were sleeping in the room also came out with knives or bows and arrows, scattered in every corner of Lin Mansion.

In the guest room, both Meiren and Liren were awakened, and Meiren whispered: "Master..."

"Well, don't be afraid, there are thieves coming, you put on your clothes and go to the backyard to accompany Miss Lin." Jia Yun said softly.

The two women took their time, dressed quickly, and followed Jia Yun out of the room.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Jia Lian running out of the room with disheveled hair, and asked anxiously, "Brother Yun, what's the matter?"

Jia Yun nodded and said: "I'm afraid some thieves who are not good for Mr. Lin will come to visit, Second Uncle Lian, go back to the room quickly, don't come out, the outside affairs will be handled by the guards."

Under the faint light of the lantern, Jia Yun held the sword in her hand, her eyes were calm, her figure was upright, and a few words made Jia Lian feel at ease. After silently nodding, she turned and went back to the room.

Xue Pan, who was standing at the door of the next room, murmured: "Take my maidservants to the backyard too, I'll go and accompany him."

After Jia Yun nodded, she turned around and took Mei Ren and other female relatives to the back house.

Lin Daiyu and the others also woke up when they heard the howling of the eagle. Although they looked a little flustered, after the guards came to the courtyard to set up defenses, they didn't run around, and they all stayed in the room together.

As soon as she stepped into the back house, Jia Wenlin chased after her from the front yard and said in a low voice, "Master, everything is ready. No matter who comes here today, try to get them all. Xinying is smart enough to give us an early warning."

"Don't talk nonsense, when you're ready, go over and command. I won't make a move today unless it's absolutely necessary. Do you know what I mean?" Jia Yun said with a sidelong glance at him.

He raised so many personal guards, scattered a lot of money, and provided delicious food and drink for him. He was not a idler. If he let himself take action every time, he might as well disband.

Jia Wenlin knew this meaning. Jia Yun was able to lead them out of Xinshou Village because of the sake of the clansmen. If she didn't take the initiative to make some contributions, she might lose her job.

So he saluted Jia Yun deeply, turned around and went out to direct without saying a word.

When Jia Yun came to Lin Daiyu's room, she saw Lin Daiyu, Zijuan, Xueyan and two nuns hiding in a corner, silent.

Seeing Jia Yun coming in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Daiyu stepped forward and said, "It's lucky to have you here today, otherwise I'd be scared to death. I've never encountered such a battle before."

"Don't worry, it will end soon." Jia Yun smiled.

The two came to the round table and sat down face to face. Mei Ren and Li Ren went to the candle lamp and extinguished the lamp.

"This is..." Lin Daiyu whispered.

In the dark night, Jia Yun followed in nowhere during the day. He touched Lin Daiyu, held her in his arms, and whispered:
"Don't be afraid, turning off the lights is to hide the target, lest the thieves come straight after you come in."

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned into his arms, stretched her arms, and hugged Jia Yun tightly.

"Poof! Poof!..."

The bow and crossbow were shot, and there were several muffled sounds in the yard, followed by the wailing of countless people.

"Ah! Help!"

"Wow!..."

"..."

In an instant, the Lin Mansion was in all directions, howling one after another.

The sword, the light and the shadow of the sword are extremely dangerous.

The other side attacked desperately, and the bows and crossbows of the guards were also continuous, shooting at the enemy wave after wave, taking away lives one by one.

Outside the courtyard, the leader is a big bearded man, tall and strong, with a black scarf covering his face and cold eyes.

Seeing that his side was unable to attack for a long time, the big man said in a low voice: "Little Lin Mansion, we have two hundred elites, there is no reason why we cannot attack!"

"Don't go up here and there, press all up, kill Lin Ruhai and his family quickly, and let's go back to work sooner!"

Standing behind him, more than a hundred men in black standing in the rainy night immediately swarmed up after receiving the order.

After a while, the shouts of killing inside and outside the Lin Mansion disappeared, and bursts of bloody breath spread to the street.

With his hands behind his back, the big man wondered to the only remaining umbrella man beside him: "It's weird, why is there no sound, did you succeed?"

"Master, we may not be able to leave." The subordinate said tremblingly.

Hearing the words, the big man turned his head and saw both ends of the street. At some point, it was already full of people.

These people were all big and three rough, holding long knives, and looked at the two of them expressionlessly.

"Oops!" The big man's heart skipped a beat, he drew his long knife and was about to run for his life.

At this moment, Jia Wenlin threw out a dagger, and instantly hit the big man's arm holding the knife.

"Ah!" The big man wailed, the long knife fell to the ground, and was quickly surrounded by the guards and tied up.

"Woooooooo..."

The big man whined, blinked his big eyes, and wanted to speak, but the guards blocked his mouth, ignored him, and dragged him to the mansion.

Naturally, his men were no exception, they knelt down and surrendered without even resisting.

The back house of the Lin Mansion.

In Lin Daiyu's room, candles were never lit.

Liu Xianglian came into the room all wet, with a murderous look all over her body, she cupped her hands and said, "My lord, I took all of them, and I didn't let any one go, leaving thirty or forty alive, what should I do?"

Jia Yun said: "The dead are piled up in the front yard first, and the living are tied up in the cellar. Someone will come to pick them up after dawn."

Liu Xianglian nodded, bowed her hands and backed out.

Lin Daiyu on the opposite side heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I've seen it today. Your personal guards really have some tricks, and they took down the thief so quickly."

Jia Yun said with a smile: "Among these people, one-third of them have fought Japanese pirates with me and fought big battles, so naturally they won't be troubled by this scene."

Lin Daiyu was about to speak when Jia Wenlin walked in, cupped her hands and said:
"Master, the casualty statistics are out. Our side has a dozen minor injuries, and they will be fine after a few days. The enemy killed 160 people, and the remaining 32 people were slightly injured, and one person was intact."

Jia Yun nodded slightly, and waved Jia Wenlin back.

Turning around, Jia Yun said to Lin Daiyu: "Now you know why Master Lin kept me here?"

"Well, I didn't expect my father's situation to be so dangerous." Lin Daiyu sighed, feeling sorry for Lin Ruhai.

Jia Yun saw that she was no longer worried, so she stood up and said, "Okay, since the thief is gone, I'll go back to the middle courtyard to rest, and we'll talk about things tomorrow."

Lin Daiyu and Jia Yun looked at each other, smiled, and nodded slightly.

Seeing that she agreed, Jia Yun laughed and walked out with Meiren and other female relatives.

……

After a commotion in Lin's residence for a while, it quickly returned to calm.

Jia Yun told Meiren and Liren to go to bed, left the room alone, came to Lin Daiyu's room in the back house, opened the door and entered.

Zijuan and Xueyan were guarding behind the door, and they were not surprised to see Jia Yun come in under Lin Daiyu's order.

"She fell asleep?" Jia Yun asked Zijuan.

Zijuan nodded and said softly, "Just lay down."

Just as Jia Yun was about to step into the bedroom, Zijuan grabbed her sleeve again.

When he looked back, he saw Zicuckoo tapping his lips with his right index finger.

Jia Yun smiled, turned around and hugged her, and kissed her hard.

The snow geese on one side stared at the boss fiercely, covering his mouth with an incredulous expression on his face.

After a long time, the two parted. Jia Yun pinched Zijuan's buttocks and whispered, "I'm going to accompany your girl right now, so don't waste time. Come and find me tomorrow."

"Well, I'm sorry, servant girl." Zijuan said obediently.

Jia Yun chuckled, glanced at the frightened Xueyan, turned and went to the bedroom.

"This..." Xueyan blushed, looked at Zijuan, and was about to ask a question, when Zijuan nodded and said: "It's just what you think, the girl will be with him from now on, and we will also be his from now on..."

Hearing this, Xue Yan took a deep breath, pouted and said, "You are all so familiar, you don't want me to come together..."

in the bedroom.

Lin Daiyu slept with her head covered, her face burning hot.

She didn't know what was going on in the past, so she agreed to Jia Yun to come and accompany her tonight.

But now that things are coming to an end, Lin Daiyu is a little scared, after all Jia Yun is too good at teasing people.

She was afraid and couldn't help it.

Seeing Lin Daiyu covered in the quilt, Jia Yun stepped forward with a smile, lifted the quilt, looked at Lin Daiyu's delicate pink face, and said amusedly, "It's already April, isn't it hot with such a thick quilt?"

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "It's raining today, and it's a bit cold. Zijuan just changed it."

Jia Yun nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, kicked off her shoes, and lay down next to her.

They were facing each other, and they could smell each other's breath.

Lin Daiyu blinked her watery eyes, looked at Jia Yun a few times, and felt a little embarrassed.

Jia Yun chuckled, leaned forward, and said happily, "I wanted to lie down with you a long time ago, and today my wish has always come true."

Lin Daiyu bit her lip and said, "I promise you, but not..."

"Have you prepared a towel?" Jia Yun raised her head and asked.

"Well, I'm ready." Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth, nodded, her eyes were rippling, smelling the masculinity of Jia Yun, her heart began to heat up.

Jia Yun nodded in satisfaction, covered the quilt, and pressed it...
