In the early morning of the next day, Qin Ji was awakened from his sleep by a few loud rooster crows, and the sunlight poured down through the roof and fell on the bed, bringing the fragrance of the rain.

He greeted the sun, took a deep breath, and then turned his head sideways to find Yu Mingzhi's figure.

As a result, Yu Mingzhi was surprised that he was sleeping next to him, but there was still half an arm's length between the two.

The bowls on the floor were gone, but the water was still there, and the clothes on the windows were all wet, dripping slowly.

After the sound of the rooster crowing, it was the movement of Miss Luo sweeping the yard.

It seems that Yu Mingzhi waited for the rain to stop, cleaned up the house, and waited until Miss Luo got up and could look at the person outside, so that she could sleep with peace of mind.

He touched her face in distress, and woke people up without wanting to.

Yu Mingzhi's sleepy eyes were hazy, he rubbed his eyes gently, and blinked a few more times, "God...... Is it already lit up?"

She had just woken up, and her voice was soft and a little hoarse, a bit like a coquette.

Qin Ji thought it was interesting to hear it, and moved closer to her.

"Let's sleep a little longer. ”

"Okay......" Yu Mingzhi agreed, then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Just when Qin Ji thought that he could take a good look at her sleeping face, he didn't want her to suddenly open her eyes again, and after sighing twice, he said helplessly: "I can't sleep at this time, I think about a lot of things." ”

"It's all my fault. Qin Ji blamed himself.

Yu Mingzhi said: "It's okay, there are things to do anyway." ”

Qin Ji looked at her and guessed what she wanted to do, "Do you want to go back to the city?"

Yu Mingzhi nodded, "Even if you can't move." It's good to call Hang Yang and them over. Otherwise, staying here will always be like a frightened bird, and it is not a solution. ”

Qin Ji said: "Your idea is good, but it's ......"

"But first, you have to determine whether it's a passerby or an enemy. Yu Mingzhi interrupted him, "How is Miss Luo's martial arts, have you tried it?"

Qin Ji said: "It's easy to deal with ordinary masters, but Shan Jingwei's subordinates are not ordinary. Therefore, it is too dangerous for you to test him. ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "That can only attack it unprepared." She scrambled to her feet and picked up a bag at the end of the bed. Put it on as fast as you can. Qin Ji, who was injured, had no time to stop him.

Then she wrapped her hair in a headscarf, covered half of her face with an old handkerchief, and bent her back again, coughing back and forth in front of Qin Ji incessantly.

"How. Like an old woman in her seventies and eighties?" she asked with a smile.

It's really seamless. Qin Ji smiled and nodded. Then he grabbed Yu Mingzhi's hand, "I think Hangyang, they should find us soon." ”

He didn't want her to risk her at all, and what happened on the way to exile was enough to make people tremble. After returning to the capital, there were one thing after another, and he couldn't wait to protect Yu Mingzhi in the palm of his hand.

But reason told him that he couldn't do that.

Being imprisoned and free is the most annoying.

Yu Mingzhi stared at him and said word by word: "I hope I can do something for you." ”

Qin Ji listened, leaned over to hug her, and his lips almost wiped her cheeks.

Yu Mingzhi trembled slightly, and then said, "I have already discussed it with Miss Luo, and it is measured. ”

"Okay, then you should be careful. Qin Ji solemnly admonished.

Yu Mingzhi nodded seriously, "Wait for me to come back." ”

Qin Ji sighed faintly: "When I return to the capital, I have to face many disputes, but at this moment, I prefer to stay here and protect each other calmly and peacefully." ”

Before this incident, Qin Ji was rarely so indecisive, and Yu Mingzhi pinched his palm.

"I'll be there for you. ”

Qin Ji smiled, and there was a deep affection in his eyes that could not be dissolved.

"I'll go out to test the temptation first, and if this person is okay, I'll set off back to the capital. Miss Luo said that every day at noon, on the main road outside, there will be vegetable farmers who come into the city to deliver vegetables, and I can take their ride. ”

Qin Ji nodded.

Yu Mingzhi tidied up his clothes again, and then tiptoed to the door, peeping out through the crack in the door, and at the same time learned a cat meow.

Soon, Miss Luo unlocked the door and let her out.

Before Yu Mingzhi went out, he turned around and smiled at Qin Ji, wanting to reassure him.

The door closed, and the room was instantly deserted, and the distant footsteps were like a bell hammer, smashing on his heart.

He had never been so worried about anyone, so crazy, and yet still obsessed with it.

As soon as Yu Mingzhi left the door, he heard Uncle Luo's deliberately raised voice, "Well, your injury has recovered very well, you can get out of bed and walk around, but remember, you must not be emotionally up and down or running and jumping." After a while, the old Wang next door, the one who rescued you back, was about to go into the city to buy things for everyone, and he stopped by to go to the East Market to explain the brisk to your relatives. ”

He cleared his throat, and his tone was full of helplessness, "It's not that I'm stingy and want to drive you away, but I thought about it last night and thought it wasn't good." We are a small village built by homeless people from all over the world, there are people who are mixed with fish and dragons, and from time to time there are people who die of hunger and disease, and they don't have money to buy coffins, and they don't want to spend effort digging pits to bury corpses, so they just throw them on the mountain and burn two pillars of incense and it's over. Think about it, when it rains, the water flows down from the heights, and it's all the rain that washes over the corpses, and when it flows into the river, we all go to the river to get ......."

The man exclaimed, "Isn't that all the food and ......?"

In the midst of a burst of retching, Uncle Luo's voice seemed very calm, "Yes, you're right, isn't it just soaking in corpse water?" So if you want to survive in this village, you must have a strong body, and any little weakness will make you unable to resist the diseases brought by the dirty water." The same is true of you, if you stay for a long time, I'm afraid you'll ...... So, I have to remind you of that. You see, I have a medicine box here, and I have to walk around the village for a while, treating patients and taking medicine, and they are all frail people, and they won't last long. ”

"But I know it...... Why don't you leave??"

Uncle Luo smiled bitterly three times, "This world." Isn't it the same to die when you go outside, and there is at least a tile here to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is close to the feet of the Son of Heaven, so there are many, many fewer rogues, so naturally I would rather die here than relive the difficult and difficult days of the second time. ”

The man was silent.

Yu Mingzhi stood by the door, moving slightly, trying to take a look at the situation in the room.

But as soon as there was a slight movement in the room, she couldn't help but shrink back, for fear that the man would discover her existence first.

So here a few times. Miss Luo simply leaned against the door frame and stood. Asked my grandfather, "What do you want to eat for lunch?" I haven't been paying attention to it at this time. ”

As she spoke, like a shield in front of her, Yu Mingzhi strengthened her courage and peered into the house again.

This time, she finally saw the true face of the person who came.

He was a man of about thirty. Good countenance. The old gray clothes were loosely covering the body. It seems that Uncle Luo lent him to wear.

This man talks and behaves like a reader.

But maybe it's just a façade.

Yu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and observed carefully for a while, after hearing that the water in the village was not clean. looked restless, and was not worried at all in the face of Uncle Luo's repeated talk about telling his next-door neighbor to go to Dongshi to find someone.

Is this person really here to defect to a distant relative?

She put her back against the wall and silently said to Miss Luo, "Where's his clothes?"

Miss Luo beckoned and led her to a corner of the courtyard.

On the bamboo frame, a few freshly washed clothes are dried, fluttering in the wind, bringing a faint fragrance.

Miss Luo did not speak, but pointed to one of the washed dark blue shirts.

Yu Mingzhi stepped forward and checked the man's clothes over and over again.

Judging from the style and pattern, it seems that the reader likes it, and it is not the same as the five people who were burned by the fire. There were four or five tears on the clothes that had been cut by sharp weapons, and there were still traces of blood around them that could not be washed off.

She double-checked the stitches again, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Yu Mingzhi glanced at the small door in the backyard and gestured to Miss Luo.

Miss Luo immediately ran to open the door, and then shouted enthusiastically outside the empty door: "Granny Wang, are you here, please come in, my grandfather is waiting for you in the house, he said that there is a new prescription for your cough." ”

Yu Mingzhi coughed a few times.

After Miss Luo closed the door, she helped Yu Mingzhi, who was pretending to be an old woman, into the front room.

Uncle Luo beckoned, "Sister Wang, sit down and try my new medicine." ”

For a while, the grandfather and grandson left that person behind and concentrated on trying a new medicine for "Granny Wang".

Yu Mingzhi was drinking tonic that could strengthen his body, while secretly raising his eyes to look at the other side of the room. The man was still sitting on the makeshift bed, his hands clutching the trousers on his knees, looking preoccupied and not caring at all about the situation on their side.

After she drank the medicine, she said in a low voice, "Who is that person?"

Uncle Luo said: "It's the one your son rescued!"

"Oh, that's him. Yu Mingzhi stood up tremblingly, walked over, and wanted to get closer to the man and take a closer look, "Young man, it was my son who saved you! We are your great benefactor!" Her eyes were bright, showing a greedy look of wanting to save people and take the opportunity to make a profit, and even stretched out her hand to the man, "Saving people is not for nothing! Like Brother Luo, I gave me medicine, all because my son brought him good things back every time he went back to the capital!"

Her hand was like a snake, and it was violently opened as it was about to touch the man's body.

She immediately fell into Miss Luo's arms and cried: "How can you be so kind to the life-saving benefactor, you should be told to die in the barren mountains and forests outside, so that there are no bones left for jackals, tigers and leopards to eat!"

Miss Luo hurriedly persuaded: "This son is a scholar, and he is very polite, he must have been frightened by the rogue, so if he accidentally attacked you, don't take it to heart!"

"Scholar?" Yu Mingzhi continued to "sprinkle around", "Where is there a scholar like him who doesn't know how to repay his kindness? I look at him, he goes to the city to test for fame, and he can't pass the test in his life!"

She meant something by saying this, and as soon as she finished speaking, she clearly noticed a cold light flashing from the man's eyes.

He said that he had only read some books, and he had sought refuge with distant relatives to find a job in the city to make ends meet, so he didn't go to the test for fame, and he didn't care about whether he could be named on the gold list.

But he reacted, did he hear something in her words?

Yu Mingzhi was not sure for a while, so he continued: "There is no heavenly reason, there is no heavenly reason, you will definitely fail the top prize, and your wish will definitely be disappointed!"

The man's face changed, and he looked up and glanced at her coldly.

The gaze was sharp, and there was a murderous aura for a moment.

Yu Mingzhi's heart suddenly beat wildly, and he felt that he was almost sure where this person came from.

She secretly pinched Miss Luo's arm, and then pretended not to resist her drag, and went out through the front door of the front room.

Uncle Luo stayed and continued to "persuade" the man.

The two didn't stop acting until the door of Wang's house.

Yu Mingzhi took a slight breath, "Something is wrong with that person." ”

Miss Luo became nervous, "Is he also the one who is going to kill Qin Gongzi?"

"Quite possibly. Yu Mingzhi couldn't forget the man's eyes for a while.

It is impossible for ordinary people to have that kind of look, that should be someone who has killed countless people.

In the past, a group of rogues rushed into the territory of Xiangzhou, and a brave general under my father led the troops to encircle and suppress, and after three days and three nights of desperate slashing, the last rogue was cut to the ground. When the general returned, his family was startled with a terrible look in his eyes. Later, the two lived separately for half a month before they came back together.

She had met the general at that time, and she was impressed by the look in his eyes.

That person hated Qin Ji, hated him for killing Shan Jingwei, and burned the body.

hated so much that he wanted to break the corpse into thousands of pieces, crush the bones and scatter ashes.

He broke through the encirclement of Qin Ji's people and came to the village where Qin Ji last appeared, incognito and fabricated his experience, wanting to find Qin Ji out of here and take revenge.

Yu Mingzhi thought so and clenched his fists.

"While this person hasn't discovered Qin Ji yet, and he hasn't been suspicious of us, let's strike first!" she gritted her teeth and whispered.

Miss Luo hurriedly nodded, "I'll do what the girl said immediately......"

Unexpectedly, before she finished her words, she heard a loud movement from Luo's house, which seemed to be the table and chairs overturning, accompanied by an exclamation from Uncle Luo.

Miss Luo was in a hurry and was about to rush home.

Yu Mingzhi knew that she was anxious about her grandfather's safety, but she was also worried that that person would be unfavorable to Qin Ji, but the more critical she was, the more she couldn't act impulsively. She grabbed her, "The enemy is now, don't mess up! I'll go back and talk to him, and you look for an opportunity to sneak up from behind." ”

Miss Luo didn't want to, "He'll kill you!"

Yu Mingzhi walked towards the Luo family, "He thinks that I am an elderly woman with limited mobility, and he must have reservations when he makes a move, and I can take this opportunity to escape." She looked at Miss Luo firmly, "Don't be afraid, it will be successful." ”

Miss Luo was infected by her eyes, and the two of them rushed back together. (To be continued.) )
