Su Ning lay on the rocking chair, swaying gently. It was early autumn, and the weather was pleasantly cool.

You know what, the air in the ancient world was much better than in the modern world; you could even smell a faint floral fragrance in the air.

Wait... the scent of flowers?

A glimmer of clarity suddenly flashed through the girl's mind, but it was followed by an overwhelming heaviness. Her thoughts were once again shrouded in mist, and she gradually lost herself in a dream filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The beautiful young girl's black hair was casually draped over her dress, her eyes slightly closed, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Suddenly, a breeze came.

Suddenly, a person appeared standing under the tree, dressed in a simple and elegant style, as if covered in herbs.

You Xunchun looked at the sleeping girl in front of him, his fingertips slowly covering her face, first her eyebrows and eyes, then her upturned nose, and her red lips as if they had been rouged.

But his movements showed no sign of stopping. That jade-like, porcelain-white neck was now in his grasp, and with just a little force, that vibrant, life-giving flower would be broken in his hands.

He seemed to pause for a long time, as if he was thinking.

The shadow of the tree reflected on his face, making him appear cold and contemptuous than usual.

But the girl under his palm seemed to be having a sweet dream, letting out a soft murmur in her sleep, and like a cat, she gently rubbed against the man's hand.

This action finally elicited a response from the man, who was as still as a statue.

He gently stroked it, as if he were playing with a piece of porcelain, but the person was oblivious, immersed in a beautiful dream.

"Never mind, all living people are different."

After saying that, he gently picked up the girl from the rocking chair and carried her into the house.

Their hair intertwined, just as the scent of herbs on his body blended with the sweet fragrance of the girl.

You Xunchun has never had any weaknesses, but today, he has personally exposed his weaknesses.

Therefore, even if there were countless opportunities to eliminate the variables in his heart, he would never have another chance.

You Xunchun had just put the person down when he seemed to realize something, his brow furrowing slightly: "Children are so careless."

And today's second uninvited guest has quietly arrived.

Su Youde almost hated these江湖人 (jianghu people) to death. You go your way, I'll go mine, but there are always people who like to meddle.

Yesterday, he was tricked by that brat Yue Zijin and tied up in the inn. If he hadn't woken up in time, it would have been too late to salvage the situation.

Fortunately, those people didn't take him seriously, which gave him a chance to escape. The first thing he wanted to do after leaving the inn was to go to the Li residence to report the news.

But the contempt shown to him by the steward of the Li family left him feeling uneasy. He also thought about how those brats had asked him about Su Ning, and he realized that they had probably found out about him after all.

If the Li family finds out that the bride has been kidnapped and that young master Li's grave has been desecrated by that brat, they'll probably be skinned alive before they even have a chance to seek revenge.

Therefore, you absolutely must not go to the Li family's residence.

He immediately rented an oxcart and hurried back to the village.

There is strength in numbers. If those people really come back, with so many of them, no matter what skill they use, they can't stop them!

"You two wait here for me. Ah Da, hurry up and contact everyone in the village, otherwise if these江湖人 (jianghu people) spread the word, we'll all be finished!" Su Youde turned around and said to the two people behind him.

He woke up too late and was afraid of missing the appointed time, so he rushed back as fast as he could. At this time, his eyes were dark and his hair was bluish. Even his usually well-maintained hair was now tangled in strands, with some gray hair in it.

The two men behind him bore a striking resemblance to him. One of them, named A-Da, spoke up: "Father...Father, they're江湖人 (jianghu people, people of the martial arts world), we...we'll be alright, won't we?"

Seeing the other man's flustered state, Su Youde wanted nothing more than to slap him right then and there. He lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his anger: "What nonsense are you spouting? If you don't go call for help now, I'll cripple you right here!"

Ah Da shuddered and ran back with weak legs.

Su Youde then instructed his second son, who was standing nearby, "You stay here and keep watch. If anything happens to me inside, come and rescue me immediately."

The second son of the Su family was more composed than the eldest. Although he still looked flustered, he gripped the sickle tightly and nodded heavily: "Father, don't worry, your son will do his best."

As soon as Su Youde got home, he asked his two sons if anything had happened at Su Ning's house, and whether Yue Zijin and his group had returned.

If he guessed correctly, those martial arts figures were probably arresting people in the village right now, so he had to take advantage of this time to do something.

Su Ning, being from their Su Family Village, was not related to them and was taciturn. It was unlikely that they would take good care of her after rescuing her.

Only if he successfully captures Su Ning can he give an explanation to the Li family. As long as Su Ning is in his hands, even if those martial arts figures talk themselves hoarse, they will not be able to convict him in the slightest.

Thinking of this, Su Youde's eyes, which were usually gleaming with cunning, suddenly turned malevolent, sending chills down one's spine.

He quietly pushed open the gate, looked around, and found no one in the yard.

He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Then you have to cross the courtyard and step into the inner room.

But the next second, a man dressed in blue stood in front of the inner room door.

Su Youde subconsciously raised the weapon in his hand, but his heart calmed down after his eyes fell on the familiar face of the other party.

These days, this group of people have been staying in the village, and he has come to know their basic situation. Yue Zijin is just a paper tiger, all talk and no action, and only has a few rudimentary skills.

Tang Xi and Pei Yunlian are quite skilled in martial arts; if Su Youde were to encounter them, he would be helpless.

But unexpectedly, fate was so kind to him; he turned out to be a frail and sickly doctor.

Thinking of this, his tense state eased considerably, and his tone became somewhat nonchalant: "Dr. You, I didn't expect it to be you here."

"It's a pity that after a lifetime of saving lives, you never imagined you'd die a brutal death at the hands of an insignificant nobody like me."

You Xunchun looked at Su Youde indifferently, her pale eyes devoid of any warmth, as if she were looking at a dead man.

Still oblivious to the danger, Su Youde continued to approach, saying, "Dr. You, as the village chief, I must thank you for treating the people of our village. For that reason, I'll make sure you don't die in too much pain..."

Su Youde swung his sickle, about to strike the person in front of him, but the next second, a tiny ripple appeared in the air, making it impossible for the man wielding the sickle to move.

Su Youde's face, wrinkled like tree bark, was filled with terror, his eyes wide open as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"boom--"

The once robust man collapsed like a mountain, and the dust he kicked up made the doctor in the white robe frown, then he moved a few steps away.

Bright red blood seeped from the fallen man's body, slowly seeping into the soil.

Su Youde's eyes were wide open, his face showing extreme terror, and he looked like he was dying with his eyes open in disbelief.

Hearing the noise, Su Er burst through the door, his eyes wide with fury: "Father!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and then he looked up at the culprit before him, his lips trembling: "You killed my father."

"You call yourself a healer and a physician? You're a laughingstock!!" Su Er roared, but didn't move an inch.

Besides anger, upon closer inspection, there is also fear.

"You wait, I'll show the whole village what you're really like!"

He ran back as he spoke.

However, with a mere wave of his hand, You Xunchun sent a silver needle, gleaming with a cold light, piercing the back of the fleeing man's head.

You Xunchun calmly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and sprinkled the tiny powder on the two people. In just a moment, the two corpses that were just lying in the courtyard turned into a pool of dirty water and were buried by weeds.

The birds that had just been startled returned, and the courtyard returned to its usual tranquility. The hem of a skirt embroidered with green bamboo swept across the half-wild wildflowers on the ground like a wisp of smoke, just as the person who had just disappeared could no longer be found in this world.
