Chapter 280: Chapter 281: Stabbed (Second Update) _1

When Nan Feng was escaping, Mo Wenxuan saw the knife in the man’s hand, he thought being a man, it was his duty to protect the women around him, so he suddenly stretched out his hands and stood in front of the man: "I won’t let you hurt Nan Feng!"

Nan Feng knew the man was skilled in Kung Fu, but if they actually fought, he wouldn’t be a match for Nan Feng. Nan Feng was about to come forward and kick the knife out of the man’s hand, but Mo Wenxuan suddenly blocked her way. She couldn’t stop her foot in time and accidentally kicked Mo Wenxuan in the back.

Mo Wenxuan didn’t stand steady, suddenly staggered and fell forward. He was about to fall onto the man’s knife. If someone didn’t pull him back, his abdomen would definitely be slashed.

Left with no choice, Nan Feng had to pull Mo Wenxuan back from behind. However, Mo Wenxuan having grown to nearly 1.7 meters tall, it was somewhat strenuous for her, so she couldn’t afford to care about the fruit vendor anymore.

When the fruit vendor attacked again, Nan Feng was pulled backward by the buffering force of Mo Wenxuan’s body as she was holding onto him. Thus, she didn’t completely dodge the fruit vendor’s attack and suddenly got stabbed.

Her clothes were thin in the summer, so when the knife went down, it hit her thigh and her leg immediately began bleeding profusely!

Mo Wenxuan was instantly frightened by Nan Feng’s condition and wanted to shield her again. However, he was pushed to the side of the carriage by her, "Hide up there!"

After pushing Mo Wenxuan aside, Nan Feng was about to deal with the fruit vendor, but he surprisingly ran away, most likely using lightness skills which enabled him to run exceptionally fast.

It seems that the man was just trying to scare Nan Feng, not intending to kill her.

Although Mo Wenxuan wasn’t afraid of death, he rushed over as soon as Nan Feng pushed him away, only to find the fruit vendor has disappeared and left a pile of scattered peaches on the ground.

Mo Wenxuan angrily said, "Hmph, conducting such a dangerous act in broad daylight, these thieves are too arrogant! Nan Feng, how’s your leg?"

Nan Feng’s leg was covered in blood, but she shook her head, "It’s okay!"

She then tore a piece of cloth from her clothes.

She used the cloth to bandage the wound and finally tied a butterfly knot.

Mo Wenxuan was stunned as he watched.

Such a woman, agile and resolute, was in no way inferior to a man.

He was becoming more and more interested in her.

After tying the wound, Nan Feng picked up the basket and the peaches from the ground with difficulty. Mo Wenxuan asked her, "Why are you picking up these peaches? Don’t eat the thief’s fruit."

Nan Feng thought, what a bookworm.

"This fruit isn’t poisoned, and they are all big and fresh. It would be a waste not to pick them up."

While picking up the peaches, Nan Feng suddenly saw a note on the ground. It must have been left by the fruit vendor. When Nan Feng picked it up and unfolded it, it said, "Close shop for good fortune, or serious consequences."

Close shop for good fortune?

Does it mean that they want Nan Feng to stop running the Spikenard Square?

Those who can’t stand the idea of her thriving business must be her competitors.

And they must be running a larger business, because Nan Feng’s Spikenard Square is posing a threat to them.

In the old times, women valued makeup even more, especially women in the county town, who would never go out without makeup. Hence, there were many rouge and powder shops in the county, but only four of them were large ones. They were Xiangying Square to the west of town, a shop named Yundai Square to the east, another called Shimann Square to the north, and Yanyue Square in the middle of the town.

The likely individuals to hire someone to harass Nan Feng would be from these few shops.
