When Childe and I found Jiuhuang, Zi Mei was standing in front of Jiuhuang, looking at her condescendingly with her height, her eyes contemptuous, but the corners of her mouth were pursed into an arc that wanted to bend or not.

Jiuhuang grabbed the corner of her clothes and pinched her clothes, she lowered her head, her mood seemed to be a little low, and she stood for a long time before she said softly: "Sister Zimei, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first......" After speaking, she was ready to go around her.

Zi Mei moved her steps slightly, just blocking Jiuhuang's way, she looked at her, the corners of her mouth curled obviously: "Don't be in a hurry to go, it's still early, Jiuhuang girl hasn't seen me for so long, don't you want to talk to me?"

Jiuhuang's steps paused, she looked up at Zi Mei, her eyes were shining in the night, but she lost her luster and looked very sluggish: "It's going to rain, Sister Zi Mei should go back first, lest it rain later." ”

Jiuhuang walked past her with a step, Zi Mei's expression froze, she grabbed Jiuhuang's wrist and pulled her to her side, the expression on her face was already a little distorted.

"You just saw it, right? Why are you still so calm? Shouldn't you be angry, you should cry, you should go to the sect leader to theorize? Jiuhuang, you are really useless!" Zi Mei looked at her, her voice was a little irritable, and her eyes looked at her with contempt, completely losing her usual elegant image.

Jiuhuang slowly raised his head, watching Zi Mei's eyes gradually become focused. She looked at her for a long time, and a hint of clarity gradually appeared in her eyes. She looked at her straightly, although it was a question, her tone was very affirmative: "Sister Zimei, you deliberately led me there just now, right?"

"So what?" Purple Charm snorted coldly, admitting very calmly, "I just want you to see something clearly." You don't have to think that the sect leader likes you because he tolerates you and treats you well, he marries you just for the life and death Gu in your body. ”

Jiuhuang's face became more and more pale, and his voice gradually became weaker: "Don't say it......"

Zi Mei seemed to want to see her like this, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more raging: "Don't say it? How can this be? The more you don't want me to say it, the more I have to say it!"

Zi Mei approached her step by step, and her originally charming face looked a little terrifying because of the distortion: "Jiuhuang, you can see clearly, the sect leader doesn't like you at all." The only thing he can care about in this world is the childhood sweetheart who grew up with him since childhood, and the only one who is lying unconscious in the ice cave!"

"Don't say it!" Jiuhuang screamed hysterically, covering his ears and crouching down, as if this would keep the purple charm's words out.

A bolt of lightning in the distance pierced the dense black clouds and pierced the silent night sky, and then it rained heavily.

Childe faced the sudden pouring rain, he calmly raised his hand and pinched a trick, and then a thick layer of immortal barrier covered me and him, and the raindrops hit the immortal barrier, and then bounced away.

But Zi Mei and Jiuhuang were not so lucky, the two of them stood and squatted one in the clearing, without anything to cover, and they were soon covered by the heavy rain, looking very embarrassed.

Purple Charm seemed to be stupid by the rain, she looked at Jiuhuang who was squatting on the ground and covering her ears, and suddenly laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, and it sounded very infiltrating in the night mixed with rain and crying.

"Jiuhuang, Jiuhuang, you are really stupid! If you are bought, you still have to help you with money, and if people treat you well, you will think that he likes you, and you will try your best to be good to him. But in the end, your eldest brother Zuo kindly reminded you that you didn't listen, but you wanted to stay, it was really in vain that he reminded you regardless of life and death. ”

Jiuhuang slowly raised his head, his face was crystal clear, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears. She looked at her and was a little distracted: "What's wrong with Big Brother Zuo?"

"What's wrong?" Zi Mei chuckled, "Didn't you notice that your eldest brother Zuo was not there during this time? He was driven away by the sect master, and he was hunted down, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive." Zi Mei paused, leaned down and raised her hand to pinch her chin, and smiled softly, "He became like this, but you caused it all by yourself." ”

"No, no, you lied to me!" Jiuhuang struggled to pull her hand away, and there was a cry in her voice, "You lied to me, you lied to me! How could Big Brother Zuo die? Big Brother Zuo won't die!"

Zi Mei let go of her hand, and Jiuhuang fell to the ground because she couldn't stabilize her body because she struggled. The raindrops the size of beans hit the ground, splashing small splashes.

Zi Mei stood up and looked at the person who fell into the water and sneered: "My sweetheart has someone else in his heart, and I married you just for the sake of life and death, and the person who protects you wholeheartedly was driven away and hunted down, and his life and death are still unknown." Jiuhuang, this kind of taste is not pleasant, right?" she paused, the smile on the corner of her mouth was weird, "But you have to bear it if it's not comfortable, who made you not know how to cherish it, and make it to yourself?"

Purple Charm laughed and walked past her, splashing muddy water onto Jiuhuang's skirt, leaving stains one after another.

Jiuhuang lowered his head, and the cold liquid kept sliding down his face. It took a long time for her to whimper softly: "Ah Pei...... Brother Zuo......"

I stood beside Childe and looked at Jiuhuang in silence, and then said, "Childe, what should I do now?"

"Naturally, things just let things go their course. Childe said leisurely, and then glanced at me as if he remembered something, "You don't want to help her, do you?"

I was stunned and nodded hesitantly, but immediately explained: "I'm just thinking about it, after all, I still have a sense of proportion, if I make a rash move, Jiuhuang's fate may be changed because of this, and we may also be trapped here and never be able to get out." ”

Childe squinted at me, then nodded appreciatively.

I touched my chin and looked in the direction where Zi Mei left, and wondered, "But Childe, I don't understand why Zi Mei is lying." Although it is very likely that Wen Zipei married her for the life and death Gu in her body, it is clear that Zuo Yu was not driven out of the Demon Sect and hunted down, why did she deceive Jiuhuang?"

Childe looked at Jiuhuang, who was choking softly in the rain, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Maybe it's because of ...... She's jealous. He looked at me, "Didn't you say that Zimei likes Wen Zipei? ”

I turned to look at him, "Really?"

"Yes. Childe nodded, a look of affirmation.

Since that day, Jiuhuang is like a different person, talking less, and people are gradually emaciated, sometimes sitting in the room, looking out the window, sitting all day.

On the third day after Jiuhuang locked herself in the house, she said hello to the person Wen Zipei had transferred to take care of her, saying that she wanted to go down the mountain to relax.

The maid seemed to see that Jiuhuang was not in a good mood these days, so she didn't stop it, but just reported it to Wen Zipei. Wen Zipei listened to the maid's words, and felt that since Jiuhuang was in a bad mood, it would be good to let her go and relax, but for the sake of her safety, she still wanted to transfer two shadow guards, but Jiuhuang refused.

Wen Zipei thought about it, but didn't insist anymore, after all, he thought that Jiuhuang was such a big person, and he wouldn't get lost or something. But it is obvious that Wen Zipei has overlooked one thing, that is, even if Jiuhuang will not get lost, a young woman like her will be remembered by many people if she goes out alone. Among them, if she is a good person, it is fine, but if she meets someone with a bad heart, then even if she wants to escape, she can't escape.

When Jiuhuang came to the town again, although his eyes were full of prosperity, he did not have the excitement he had when he came with Wen Zipei for the first time. She wandered aimlessly through the streets, picking up what she was interested in and looking at it, but I could clearly sense her absent-mindedness.

I swayed slowly behind Jiuhuang, and occasionally saw a candy gourd candy seller or something, so I took one of them. When Childe saw it, he shook his head a little helplessly, but he still resigned himself to his purse and paid.

I squinted and licked the sugar man in my hand, and looked at Jiuhuang while licking: "Childe, do you think Jiuhuang will stay or leave?"

Childe took a sugar gourd in his hand, and he not only looked like he had lost his image, but also looked very romantic. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"

"I don't know. I replied, and continued to lick the candy man, and when I turned my head, I could see that Childe's gaze stayed on the sugar man. I paused, thinking that he wanted to eat it, so I stopped and nervously handed him the candy man I had licked, and asked, "Childe, do you want to eat it?" ”

Childe looked at the sugar man in front of him and was stunned, and looked at me in some surprise. I gradually came back to my senses, remembered what I had just said, and regretted it so much that I wanted to scrape my ears.

I was silent for a long time, and was about to say, "Childe, don't eat it, if you really want to eat it, I'll buy one for you, but don't eat mine, because I just added a lot of it." But Gongzi leaned over slightly at this time, and then lightly opened his thin lips and bit on the sugar man I had just licked.

He took a bite into his mouth, then licked his lips and smiled at me, his smile very demagogic: "Well, it's delicious." ”

I looked at him in a daze, the heat of my whole body gathered on my cheeks, I pointed at him and bit my tongue and said, "How can you really eat?"

Childe smashed his mouth, looked at me very innocently, and his expression was harmless: "You handed it to me yourself, I will naturally eat it if you give it to me, I can't live up to your kindness and not eat it, right?"

I was a little confused by his "whether to eat or not", and blushed a little helplessly: "But this one was licked by me just now......"

Childe waved his hand very generously: "It's okay, I don't dislike you for being dirty." ”

My face darkened: "You are dirty, your whole family is dirty!" After speaking, I didn't look at his expression, stuffed the sugar man into his arms, and then snatched the sugar gourd and took it away, taking a bite hatefully as I walked, but I didn't expect the hawthorn of this sugar gourd to be very sour, and my face was about to wrinkle into a ball.

Childe walked slowly behind me with the candy man, looking at my wrinkled face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became obvious.

I walked angrily for a while, and when I looked up again, there were people coming and going, and it was still that prosperous scene, but I found that I couldn't find anyone from Jiuhuang at all.

When I found out about this situation, I paused, looked around and looked for a while, but I still didn't see Jiuhuang. I squinted and secretly glanced at Childe behind me, and my pace gradually slowed down, and when he caught up with me and walked to my side, I coughed lightly and said, "Childe ......"

"Huh?" Childe ate the candy man in his hand leisurely, eating it elegantly and pleasing to the eye, as if he knew that I would stop, and he was not surprised at all.

I coughed lightly again, and asked very humbly: "Childe, Jiuhuang seems to be gone, did you see where she went just now?"
