Chapter 38 Bai Taotao is injured

The land on the left was originally planted by Chen Defu. A batch of ramie was harvested in early June. After Baitaotao bought the land, the land was handed over to her.

However, she has not touched this land. After all, ramie is a root crop. Even if one crop has been harvested, another crop will grow immediately later, and the second crop can be harvested in late July.

It is already early July, and it will be ready for harvest in less than half a month.

After thinking about it, Bai Taotao decided to wait until late July to harvest this batch of ramie before starting work.

At that time, everyone will have free time, so we can arrange for the villagers to work to earn some extra money.

After making this decision, the next step is to deal with business matters.

In the afternoon, Bai Taotao had been waiting for news from Master Shen, but as a result, no news came until it was dark.

Just when Bai Taotao thought that there was no chance of cooperation this time, she was packing her things to deliver to the county the next day when she saw a man riding a fast horse running towards her courtyard.

"Ms. Chen, luckily you are at home. The county magistrate asked me to tell you that shopkeeper Qin from the Yuelai Restaurant in Linjiang City came over in person last night. Because it was too late, no one was arranged to come yesterday to inform you. You. Just go to the county office as soon as you finish delivering the goods. The county magistrate has already made arrangements."

Bai Taotao looked up at the government servant on horseback and looked surprised after hearing what he said, "Shopkeeper Qin came here in person? Just to discuss business?"

"I don't know the details about the little one. If you have any doubts, it would be better for Madam Chen to ask us adults. I have brought the news, so the little one will go back first."

After speaking, the Yamen servant turned the horse's direction, gave a long drive, and the horse took him away.

Only Bai Taotao stood there with a confused look on his face.

However, Bai Taotao usually wouldn't dwell on such doubtful matters for too long, because she wouldn't give a direct answer if she was troubled. It would be better to just ask when the time comes.

Maybe it's because I think too much.

After loading the goods to be delivered and locking the doors and windows at home, Bai Taotao set off in the ox cart.

She had originally thought about changing her clothes, but her condition was like this. She didn't need to dress well, as long as she was neat and clean, and there was no smell.

Halfway out of the village, Bai Taotao felt a murderous aura coming. When she used her mind to take out the crossbow from the storage space, three long arrows shot at her at the same time.

Bai Taotao determined the killer's location based on the direction in which the long arrow was shot, and then shot a small sharp arrow at the opponent as well.

At the same time, she did not forget to dodge the three long arrows flying towards her.

But due to the delay of a second when shooting the third sharp arrow, the killer's long arrow grazed her arm, and finally tore her clothes and torn a layer of skin on her arm.

Bai Taotao turned around to avoid the last sword, and at the same time fed a pill into her mouth.

When the long arrow passed by her just now, she smelled that the arrowhead of the long arrow was rubbed with poison.

At that time, she exchanged a thought for a detoxification pill from the mall, and then quickly took it before the poison was released.

Before the poison is released, the detoxification pill takes effect.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to prevent the killer from succeeding. If it had been a few seconds later, she would have left this place, killing one and two.

"She was hit by an arrow." At this time, another non-bow killer hiding in the dark shouted loudly.

But as his voice fell, a small sharp arrow flew towards him, and then hit him between the eyebrows.

"Why didn't she..." Before the word 'thing' could be spoken, another sharp arrow flew out, and the other person who spoke was also directly killed.

Although they were all very skilled, they didn't expect Bai Taotao's attack to be so fast. Not only was it fast, but it was also very accurate, leaving them no chance to react at all.

"Shh~"

One of the killers made a gesture to shut up, but because of a 'shhh', he still couldn't escape and Baitaotao sent him a sharp arrow.

Seeing their companions falling down after just one movement, the two remaining killers felt a little scared.

He didn't dare to make a sound or move his position easily.

Bai Taotao knew that there were still people alive, but there were only three archers who came this time, and they had already been killed by her at the beginning, so even if the remaining ones were good at it, they would naturally not dare to take it easy after knowing that Bai Taotao's skills were extraordinary. Take action.

"I know you are men sent by Master Jue. Go back and tell your master that if he dares to provoke me again, I won't mind slaughtering his whole family. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Let's see who is more afraid of death!"

After saying a few words, Bai Taotao got on the bullock cart again and walked away.

After Bai Taotao left, the remaining two killers dared to stand up, and then looked at their companions who had fallen to the ground. They felt very scared after thinking about it.

"Are you sure this woman is as I found out? Didn't you say she is just a village woman?"

"I heard that the six people sent out by the master yesterday were also killed by her. I thought she just learned some archery skills from her eldest brother. Unexpectedly, we underestimated her. This woman's skills are definitely not simple, and definitely not ordinary. A skill that only a village woman can possess. Also, the bow and arrows in her hands are definitely not ordinary bows and arrows."

"Then should we go to Hetang Village and arrest all this woman's family members? So what if this woman is very skilled?"

"No? This woman is obviously special. Her identity remains to be investigated. Don't act rashly until the truth is found out. The bow and arrow in this woman's hand is enough to show that she is definitely not an ordinary village woman. How can an ordinary village woman With such skill and such a bow and arrow?"

"Now what?"

"Let's go back and report to the master truthfully."

The two killers who had narrowly escaped death walked towards Baitang County quietly as they spoke.

Yesterday, Mr. Jue didn't touch Baitaotao for the time being because of Shen Zheng's shock. Then after he returned, he asked someone to carefully investigate Baitaotao's background.

At the same time, he learned that the six people sent to intercept Bai Taotao had been killed.

At dawn today, the man who went to investigate Bai Taotao came back and told him that the information was the same as what he had found before.

The village woman had no one to back her up, and all she had was her husband-in-law who died in battle.

Lord Shen was just out of the name of her dead husband, and she had a head-on conflict with him yesterday.

After learning the news, Mr. Jue immediately arranged for several killers to kill Baitaotao on her way to deliver goods.

In order to ensure that she still has the ability to shoot arrows, Master Jue also arranged for three archers.

They even had archers coating their arrowheads with poison.

Since he couldn't get the braised food recipe, he had to kill the person. If he wanted people to know that he thought the master's person was killed by a village woman, then where would his face be?
