Chapter 17: Pretending to be a passerby
He Wanci was taken aback by this long sword, and complained in her heart that this person was too suspicious, and before she could speak, the man said: "You'd better explain it honestly, otherwise, the sword in my hand won't have long eyes!"
He Wanci glanced up at the person in front of her, but she happened to walk under a dense tree just now, and the moonlight was blocked a lot, and she couldn't completely see the other party's face, so she could only roughly distinguish the outline. If it were usual, He Wanci would definitely complain in her heart that she was redundant, after all, even if she could see the other party's appearance clearly, she didn't know it. But at this time, it is still one thing whether the small life can be saved or not, and the idea of complaining has not yet had a chance.
"Jiuci Temple is an important place for Buddhism, is it appropriate for you to use your sword against me so indiscriminately?" He Wanci's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked directly at the other party. In fact, she was also very scared in her heart, but after thinking about it, wouldn't her look nervous and spitting be more suspicious, so she dared to say.
"Put your sword down!" the woman who rushed over saw this, and hurriedly drank.
Qi Shuo looked at Mrs. Yi, and then reluctantly took the sword in his hand off He Wanci's neck. He Wanci gave him an unceremonious glance and took a few steps back. Such people, such impulsive people, such impulsive people with delusions of victimization, stay away.
"This girl, you've been frightened. The woman walked up to He Wanci and said apologetically.
After retreating, He Wanci was already standing in the moonlight, so the woman in front of him could also see clearly. The other party looks about forty years old, dressed in plain clothes, with a simple headdress, but it gives people a gentle and dignified feeling.
"Madame is polite, I was attracted by this bright moonlight, and I came over unconsciously, I don't know that you two are talking here, and I have disturbed you. He Wanci slowed down, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said. People have a good attitude, and there is no need to worry about it, "Madame, if it's okay, I'll leave first." After speaking, regardless of the other party's reaction, he turned his head and walked back.
"Wanci?" Mrs. Yi called out tentatively, walked quickly in front of He Wanci, and confirmed repeatedly: "Wanci, it's really you." A look of surprise.
He Wanci was stunned, and her footsteps couldn't help but stop. She couldn't imagine that this Mrs. Yi actually knew herself. However, it is not surprising that someone who is about to become a daughter-in-law knows her...... It's just that I'm a little embarrassed to face her now, not to mention, I don't know anything.
"Madame recognized the wrong person, the little girl's name is Muqing, and she is not called Wanci. He Wanci smiled lightly, said a simple word, and left straight from Mrs. Yi's side.
Estimating that he had left the sight of the two, He Wanci quickened her pace again and walked back to the room quickly.
"Qi Shuo, do you see it? Looking at He Wanci's distant back, Mrs. Yi stood for a while before she said to her with some excitement.
When Mrs. Gangyi called "Wan Ci", Qi Shuo stepped forward to take a look and found that it was indeed true. "Madam, it's Miss Wanci. The tone was respectful.
At this time, He Wanci walked back to the room and closed the door as if she had fled for her life, and breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly happy that the two did not catch up with her.
"Miss, did you meet a ghost? run so fast?" Xiao Tong had never seen He Wanci so flustered, and thought something big had happened.
He Wanci leaned her back against the door, looked at Xiao Tong who was sitting at the table with a puzzled face, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I haven't encountered a ghost, but it's as thrilling as encountering a ghost." ”
"Tell me, what did you see?" Xiao Tong ran over and pulled He Wanci to the table and sat down, his expression changed from confusion just now to curiosity and expectation.
He Wanci glanced at Xiao Tong and pretended to be mysterious: "I really want to know?"
Koki nodded like a drum.
"Just now I saw a few little masters carrying water, and it looked very heavy, which scared me. He Wanci looked in admiration, and compared the size of the bucket with his hand. Seeing that there was hot water in the wooden basin on the ground on the other side of the table, he didn't care about Xiaotong's reaction after listening to her words, and was ready to wash up and sleep.
