Chapter 16: The Showdown
When Xia Guang woke up, it was already night. Her mouth was a little dry, and she was about to get up and drink water, but she found that this didn't seem to be the inn where she was staying.
Although the furnishings of the room are not very rich, there are all kinds of things inside.
Xia Guang hurriedly lifted the sleeve on her wrist, and found that Mo Zheng was safely wrapped around her wrist, so she felt a lot more relieved, and then she touched her neck, but she didn't touch the familiar blood, and her heart became inexplicably nervous.
The ink on her wrist raised her head, signaling her to look at the place where it was wrapped before, Xia Guang saw the two blood spots as he wished, "Mo, I'm scared to death." I don't know who saved us, I don't know if I saw you. β
She didn't bother to drink water, got up from the bed, and hobbled to the door. It may be raining outside the door, and you can feel a damp smell when the door is not opened, she opened the door, and a wind blew, accompanied by a few raindrops falling on her face, she shrunk her neck and rubbed her hands, "It's so cold." β
"Cold, are you still coming out?" a voice came from her left, teasing in her voice.
Xia Guang turned her head, and when she saw the visitor, she was slightly surprised, but she was in love, "Your voice?" "You don't seem surprised to see me?" He walked briskly into the room, put the things in his hand on the table, and sat down on the stool next to him. "You drink this first.
"What is this?" Xia Guang didn't care that he didn't answer her question, walked to his side, frowned at the contents of the bowl, picked up the spoon next to the bowl, and scooped a spoonful, it seemed to be a bowl of red rice porridge, but there were some unknown objects in it. "As you can see, pork liver and red rice porridge are a good blood tonic item. The person who came looked at Xia Guang's tangled appearance with his chin in his hand, felt very funny, and kindly introduced it. "Why should I eat such a thing?" Xia Guang said depressedly as he put down his spoon, his tone a little childish. "Someone didn't ask me to get you food, so don't waste my heart. The person said. "Someone?" Xia Guang asked without hesitation.
"Well, you drink this bowl of porridge first, and I'll tell you later. The visitor pointed to the bowl of red rice porridge again and smiled harmlessly.
At his insistence, Xia Guang had no choice but to pick up a spoon and scoop it up, the taste of the porridge was not as bad as he imagined, and it was generally good. "Is there anything else in it, it tastes a little sour. "Well, you've got a good palate, and I've added a little lily to it. The visitor looked a lot happier, explained. "Your craft is good. Xia Guang complimented, and then put down the bowl and spoon. "I'm done eating, can you tell me who that person is now?" The visitor did not answer directly, "I'll take you to him." β
Xia Guang nodded and followed behind him, because of drinking a bowl of porridge, the whole person was also a lot warmer, and he didn't feel too cold when he went out. "Miss Xia, aren't you curious about who I am?" asked curiously. "Uh, I always think you don't seem to like letting others know who you are?" Xia Guang was a little embarrassed to speak, but the master asked, and she still said what she thought in her heart. "Haha, Miss Xia, you are very good at thinking about others, my name is Xuanyuan Qinglong, you can call me Qinglong. Xuanyuan Qinglong smiled and said generously.
Although he knew that he knew her name, Xia Guang still introduced himself, "Xia Guang, Xia Xia, the light of the sun." β
"Miss Xia, you're very interesting. Xuanyuan Qinglong sighed.
"Huh. β
Xia Guang walked all the way, roughly observed, there are a lot of rooms in this courtyard, but there is no hall, the rooms are arranged in a concave shape, opposite to the stone pavilion not far away, the pavilion is surrounded by water, the pavilion is facing one of the rooms is relatively large, Xia Guang guessed that this room may be the master's bedroom. There are two paths to the pavilion, one directly opposite the gate and a cobblestone road, and the other side of the house is a winding promenade. The room to the left of the main door looks like the kitchen, as the door is wide open to see the stove inside. The thing planted in the courtyard is a pile of bamboo, as for what kind of bamboo, forgive her for being lonely and unheard, she doesn't know. The layout here is quite simple, just a long strip, and it can be seen at a glance, and it is obvious that the owner of this yard is not a person who is too particular.
Xuanyuan Qinglong took her to the master bedroom that Xia Guang thought and said, "It's here, you go in." β
Xia Guang pointed to the door, "You don't go in?" "Heh, I won't go in, this guy doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, yin and yang are weird." Xuanyuan Qinglong glanced at it with disgust, and walked to a room in a dashing manner.
Xia Guang was speechless for a moment, since she knew that people were yin and yang, why did she bring her over, she didn't come to be angry. Xia Guang thought for a moment, and felt that it was better to disappear first, this big night, it was not good for lonely men and widows to be in the same room, so he should go back to the inn first, so as to save the two people from dying in a hurry. However, it is better to talk to Xuanyuan Qinglong.
The idea is certain, Xia Guang didn't stay long, turned around and left.
Xia Guang hadn't taken a few steps when there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the house, which sounded like someone had fallen to the ground.
What's the situation, did the man fall or what happened? Do I go or don't go?
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Guang returned to the door, pushed open the door, and walked in, silently reciting in his heart, this is all based on morality.
There were no candles in the house, and it was raining, so there was no light. Xia Guang stood at the door and didn't go in, "Hey, are you okay?" "It's okay." "There was the sound of Yesheng singing in the room, and the voice sounded a little oppressive.
Xia Guang continued to ask uneasily, "Is it really okay?" "It's okay." "Then I'm leaving." β
There was silence in the room, and Yesheng Song did not answer.
Xia Guang didn't think much about it, turned around and stepped out of the door, and when he wanted to close the door again, he heard a hoarse moan, and the voice seemed a little painful. This time she did not ask any further, but went into the door in the dark, and finally reached the table, and groped for a while before finding the flint and the candle. When the candle was lit, Xia Guang's heart was also relieved, in the dark, it was always a little depressing.
At a glance, he saw Ye Shengge sitting on the ground, covering his left splint fixed foot, he frowned, looking a little angry and helpless.
Xia Guang walked over and carefully helped him up, "What do you want to do?" "Why didn't you leave?" The two said in unison.
Neither of them expected such a situation, and they were suddenly a little embarrassed. "If someone hadn't had that murmuring of pain, I think I'd be gone. Xia Guang spoke.
Qu Lisheng smiled bitterly and did not speak.
After Xia Guang placed him on the bed, he spoke again, "Say, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to drink saliva, but I didn't expect ......"
Xia Guang took a glass of water from the table, handed it to him, and after he took it, he looked at his injured foot, "Your foot is to save me from injury, in fact, you don't have to do that." β
After Qu Lisheng drank the water, his throat moistened a lot, and he felt a lot better, "You mean to make me watch a girl fall off a horse in front of my eyes, and become like me?" or something worse?" However, you don't have to argue about what happened along the way. β
Qu Lisheng raised his eyebrows suspiciously, indicating that he didn't understand.
Xia Guang couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that he was still dead and didn't admit it, "The first time, when someone sent a silver ticket of five hundred taels, I should have thought that it was you, but I didn't think about it that much at the time; Every time I entered an inn, the people inside seemed to know in advance that we were coming, everything was arranged, the room was a first-class room, the dishes were a little different from those at other tables, and the two horses from the other day. And I don't know many people when I'm walking outside, except for you, you only have gloomy, gloomy situations, and you also know. It's a bit hard for me not to suspect something. "Miss Xia is really smart, you can guess that it's me just from that. Qu Lisheng said calmly, but the corners of his mouth looked very satisfied. "You didn't do so much to atone for what happened before. β
"Yes, it doesn't. Qu Lisheng said meaningfully.
"I don't care what your reasons are, I just hope you don't do these things again. I went out this time to train myself, and I didn't want to rely on others for everything. I'm very grateful that Yegongzi was injured trying to save me, but because of what you did before, I was a little bothered, so we evened it out. Xia Guang said.
"Miss Xia is in such a hurry to clear up with me, why is she in such a hurry?" Qu Lisheng said without hurrying or slowing.
"Relationship, what do we have to do with it?" Xia Guang smiled, thinking that this was a bit ridiculous, they had been together for so long, and they didn't even know what kind of person he was, and it was still related.
"How about the rescuers and the rescued?" Qu Lisheng put away his smile and said seriously, "Since Miss Xia wants to clear up the relationship so much, then I will promise you." Miss Xia also knows that along the way, I have done a lot of things for you, plus today's events, I am afraid that it will be over if you don't settle it out with a single sentence. β
"I knew you weren't that simple. Say, what are the conditions. Xia Guang seemed to leisurely pick up the tea on the table, took a sip, and looked like he knew it in his heart.
Qu Lisheng lowered his head and smoothed the robe on his body, and then said sincerely: "Miss Xia also knows that I was injured for you, so now I will be taken care of by Miss Lao Xia for a period of time." β
Xia Guang held the cup in his hand tightly, resisted the urge to smash the cup over, calmed down, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will take good care of you." But I also have conditions, you should know that there are still two people waiting for me in the inn, and I can go back at night. "Miss Xia is really joking, I'm like this now, it's even more inconvenient to walk at night, didn't you see it before, I want you to stay here, when you need anything, I'll look for you." As for the two of them, you go and clean up the two rooms and come out. "Yesheng Song, don't deceive people too much. Xia Guang stood up, splashed his cup at Ye Shengge, ignored him and left.
Qu Lisheng wiped the water stains on his face with his hands, and then smiled bitterly, what kind of demon did he have to be so naΓ―ve.
