I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 140 Accident

This time, Old Li stayed at Mr. Wang's house for five days. He worked almost day and night just to go home as soon as possible.

In the end, it was only half done.

That day, the housekeeper of Mr. Wang's family came to see him and said that his daughter was looking for him.

When he heard about his daughter, he quickly put down his work, stood up and asked anxiously, "Butler Wang, I wonder where my daughter is now?"

"I'm waiting outside the gate. I thought I'd come and tell you. Why don't you go and see if there's anything urgent?"

Old Li was very worldly-wise and quickly took out some silver from his pocket and placed it in Butler Wang's hand. "Thank you, Butler Wang. I'll go take a look."

Old Li hurried out the door, his mind already filled with countless guesses. Was it because the family didn't have enough money? That shouldn't be the case. When he left, he had specifically given the old woman a lot of extra money to prepare for emergencies.

Why?

Is there a conflict between neighbors?

I was running and thinking about all sorts of things, and didn't pay much attention to anything. Unexpectedly, I bumped into the person walking back in front of me.

He quickly bowed his head and apologized. How could he offend the host and cause unnecessary trouble in someone else's home?

"Who is so blind that he cannot see the truth?"

"You even dare to offend me, a master. I think you are tired of living!"

Only then did Old Li dare to look up. It turned out to be Wang Shike, the eldest son of Mr. Wang. This man was notoriously arrogant in their county. He relied on his father's money and almost acted arrogantly.

But he was the only child in the family. Mr. Wang had a son when he was old, so he almost always got what he wanted.

"Please forgive me, I was in a hurry and I did bump into you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Old Li bowed repeatedly to apologize.

Only then did Wang Shike take a serious look at this man. He knew him. He was the carpenter hired by his father, and he had been living in the mansion in recent days.

The beautiful woman outside the door just now must be the carpenter's daughter?

It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

When he came back, he was attracted by the beauty from afar. Her breasts and butt were definitely attractive!

No matter how he teased her, the beauty just ignored him. It was probably because her appearance was to his liking, otherwise he would have hired someone to deal with her long ago.

Just when I was worrying about how to find out about that beauty, I heard Butler Wang say that she was the daughter of a newly hired carpenter.

Look, this is the white swan that God sent to him. If he doesn’t eat it, he will be ungrateful to God’s kindness.

"It turned out to be Carpenter Li!"

"No problem, no problem, what are you doing?"

Seeing he couldn't hide, Old Li had to confess honestly, "My little daughter came to see me for something urgent. Don't worry, sir. I'll just say a few words to her and be back."

Wang Shike nodded with a smile and immediately had an idea.

"Okay, maybe it's really urgent. Please go and take a look. If you need anything, you're welcome."

"Our Wang family will never treat you unfairly."

Old Li hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir."

After that, he didn't take this little incident to heart, but ran to the gate to look for his little daughter.

"Ying'er, why are you looking for daddy now?"

"But what happened at home?"

Li Ying, who had been leaning sideways with her head down, was no longer panicked when she heard her father's voice. That lecher had been teasing her with words just now, and she didn't know what to do.

The moment she saw her father, she felt much more at ease.

He smiled and said, "Dad, there's nothing wrong at home. It's just that Dad has been away for five days and there's no news. Mom asked me to come and see you."

"This is what mother prepared for you: a change of clothes, your favorite snacks, and a stewed old hen with some Chinese medicine. I'm afraid you've been working hard these past few days and need some nourishment."

Only then did Old Li realize that Li Ying was holding a large bag in his hand, and he hurriedly took it.

"It's so heavy, how did you carry it? Let Daddy take a look. Your hands must be tired, right?"

Old Li had a daughter when he was almost forty. He raised her for sixteen years and she was his only child. Although his family was not wealthy, they spoiled her very much.

"Ying'er is fine, it's Daddy who's exhausted, right?"

"You don't look very well. There's always work to do. You must take a good rest."

"Hey, Daddy knows, Daddy knows. I have good food and accommodation here. You and your mother don't have to worry."

Old Li looked at Li Ying a few more times before advising her, "Take good care of your mother at home. I'll be back in a few days."

"If you have any problems, go find your Uncle Liu at the east end of the village. I've left a message with him, and he will definitely help you."

Li Ying quickly agreed with a smile, and then hesitated to speak, but when she saw the white hair on her father's temples, she said nothing more.

I hurried home.

When Old Li learned that everything was fine at home and drank the chicken soup cooked by his wife, which was better than any other delicacies, he immediately became full of energy.

He originally planned to complete it in five days, but he shortened it to three days.

When Mr. Wang came to inspect the finished product, he was surprised to find that it went so smoothly without any problems. He quickly settled the bill and generously gave an extra five taels of silver.

He thanked her repeatedly and took the money he had earned during this period, thinking of going to the tailor shop on the street to buy better cloth for the mother and daughter and making a new set of clothes for each of them.

My daughter is grown up now, she can’t be without a decent piece of clothing.

After buying the cloth, I went to the snack shop and bought my daughter’s favorite snacks.

He also bought a beggar's chicken and a pound of braised beef in soy sauce, and then hurried home.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the village entrance, someone ran up to him and said, "Old Li! You're finally back!"

"Go home quickly, something happened at home!"

Old Li, who had a happy face, rushed home without caring about anything when he heard that something happened at home.

Many neighbors on the road were talking about it, and his heart was in his throat.

I kept silently praying in my heart that nothing should happen to my wife and daughter at home, nothing should happen to them.

Before he even reached the door of his house, he saw two white lanterns hanging at the gate from afar...

He used all his strength and ran home in one breath, and could already hear his wife's shrill cries.

"Old woman, old woman, what's the matter with you?"

He looked at the white cloth hanging at the door of the main room and the coffin placed inside the room.

The things in his hand fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face. He asked in a trembling voice, "Where's Ying'er..."

"Where's our little girl?"

Although he was unwilling to accept this reality, he still mustered up his courage, walked to the coffin, and used all his strength to pull open the lid.

When he saw his Ying'er lying there, he was completely stunned...

He stretched out his trembling hand towards Li Ying, who was lying motionless in the coffin with a pale face.

It's only been three days, how come that child who was always smiling has lost all his energy...

"Old woman, who did this! Who did this!"

"I'm going to kill that man!"
