Shu Ge'er saw that the sharp arrow had been flying past his arm, nailing the fire fold to the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a second of froze, he crouched down in horror and hugged his head.

Shu Ge'er was deeply aware that someone could take his life at any time, and the fear of death made him tremble like chaff.

"Tell me, who told you to burn the grass?" A middle-aged man with a bow drawn like a full moon walked out of the dense forest, pointed the arrow at Brother Shu's head, and asked.

"I didn't ...... No one. Brother Shu didn't know the identity of the other party, but gritted his teeth: "The small one is to see that they are useless, and I want to burn them." ”

"Useless?" There was another sound in the dense forest, it was a somewhat familiar man's voice, Shu Ge'er frowned, and just as he was about to raise his head, he was stopped by the middle-aged man: "Lower your head!" Can you see the face of my master? ”

Shu Ge'er obeyed the instructions, for private slaves, he was no stranger to such a humble kneeling posture, but he hadn't been lying at the feet of others so humbly for a long time, and he was still a little embarrassed.

"Qi Jiu," the man beckoned, Qi Jiu stared at Brother Shu vigilantly, walked backwards to him, and handed his shoulder over for him to support: "Master." ”

The man pressed Qi Jiu's arrow and said to Shu Ge'er: "Look up, who am I." ”

Brother Shu dared to raise his head at this time, the moonlight sprinkled on the man's well-defined face, and his beard was sparse, but he could still see the aristocratic temperament of his dignified appearance, which was Xia Wenye.

"Second Young Master!" Brother Shu hurriedly saluted, surprised in his heart.

Isn't the second young master dead, the Xia family is still searching for his body in the forest, why is he standing here now?

Xia Wenye waved his hand, if it weren't for the light of the fire fold just now that illuminated Brother Shu's face and was recognized by him, Qi Jiu would have sealed his throat with an arrow at this moment.

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the hops, he knew the approximate location, and he also knew that the ninth sister had handed over the matter to the young man in front of him to deal with, so he stopped: "Let me ask you, did Shu'er ask you to burn these grasses?" ”

Although the second young master is not the master's own brother, he has a good relationship, Shu Ge'er hesitated and nodded: "It was the master who asked me to keep this secret." ”

"Well, you're loyal." Xia Wenye nodded, and asked again: "Do you know how to go to the Qingxin Cave, I want to save Shu'er out." ”

Brother Shu raised his head sharply, and his bright black eyes lit up: "I know." ”

……

At night, a raging forest fire suddenly ignited in the mountain behind Fangyuan, and the fire spread, almost burning to the adjacent Qingxin Villa.

At the foot of the mountain, the gongs and drums were noisy, and they were urgently cleaned up.

The ninth sister was awakened by this excitement, went out of the cave to look, saw the fire under her feet from a distance, compared with the map in her head, her heart was bad, could it be that Brother Shu had encountered some trouble, so she wanted to burn the hops?

"I'm really a mouthful, I want him to keep some secrets, what can be more important than human life." Xia Jiumei was remorseful, for fear that Brother Shu would be stupid.

"Lord...... Master? A weak voice came from the grass on the side, and it was Brother Shu who poked his head out.

"Brother Shu!" Xia Jiumei exclaimed, dragged him out, and looked him up and down: "You're okay, I thought you set the fire below." ”

His face was flushed, and he didn't dare to look at the ninth sister, but he just said, "Yes, it's a small one." ”

"What are you ashamed of?" When the ninth sister saw him strangely, she suddenly heard her muttering: "What is this, I didn't say it earlier, the life of the garden slave is also fate." ”

Shu Ge'er's face turned red, he didn't know what to say at all, he just saw that she moved freely, so he simply pulled her sleeve and led the way.

"Where are you going?" The ninth sister didn't know why, but she followed him around with trust, and finally saw the bearded man in front of the fire.

"Second brother......" The ninth sister pounced, and Xia Wenye opened her arms to pick her up: "Shu'er." ”

Qi Jiu skillfully added firewood to the fire, while Shu Ge'er sat honestly behind the ninth sister, listening to their brother and sister chatting, but there was only the delicate side face of the girl in his eyes.

The situation on the ninth sister's side is actually very easy to inquire, otherwise Xia Wenye would not have asked to go to the Qingxin Cave to save her, but when she heard that the ninth sister not only suffered, but also persuaded the Yin family to form an alliance, even the gray-clothed old man Xia Zihua was already shaken, and couldn't help but sigh: "The ninth sister has indeed grown up." ”

"Second brother, they didn't wronged me, because I'm really not Xia Wenshu." Xia Jiumei played a word game, after all, it is not a good thing to let Xia Wenye be a goddess now.

Xia Wenye was silent for a while, grabbed the girl's hand, and said seriously: "No matter who you are, you are my sister, better than a mother's compatriot." ”

The fire crackled, and the girl's bright smile became more and more dazzling, and I saw her nod vigorously.

"Then, how did the second brother escape?" She asked.

"I fell into Ziqing Garden, it was Qi Jiu who saved me." The fire stick in Xia Wenye's hand pointed at Qi Jiu, looked at his hand again, and put it down a little unnaturally.

If in normal times, he was willing to point to a slave to introduce the honor of being a slave, even if Qi Jiu was his savior, it would not be enough to affect his enslavement of Qi Jiu.

But seeing the girl's clear gaze, Xia Wenye suddenly had a ridiculous idea.

If he hadn't listened to the advice of the ninth sister at the beginning, or had not ordered the prohibition of killing the garden slaves at will, then Qi Jiu might have died by now, or he didn't bother to save him at all.

"Everything has a price," Xia Wenye muttered unconsciously, maybe the ninth sister was right, no one could trample on another person wantonly.

"Brother, what did you say?" The ninth sister didn't hear clearly, and blinked at him.

"It's nothing, I mean that later, the head of Zi Qingyuan was bribed, so I designed to kill a lone pursuer and scratch his face to disguise him as me, I guess my 'corpse' should have been transported back." Xia Wenye said.

Shu Ge'er's bright black eyes flashed.

Kill and fake death to get out, the second young master is really smart.

"In that case, presumably the Xia family will announce your death soon, so we have to make a plan." The ninth sister said coldly, a set of ideas for a tooth for a tooth is about to come out, Xia Wenye is still alive, which is her biggest hole card.

Xia Wenye pursed his lips, and the flickering firelight reflected his silhouette from time to time, just like his mood at the moment was very complicated.

For the Xia family, the betrayal of his sister-in-law and the pursuit of his father all made his heart like a knife, but if he wanted to harden his heart to bring them down, he still couldn't do it, after all, he had regarded them more than himself over the years.

"I understand my brother's thoughts, but you can't just run away incognito, and your mother, even if she is crazy, the Wang family will not let her go." When it came to the Lin family, Xia Wenye's expression was cold.

"Okay, if the ninth sister has any plans, just say it, brother listens to you." Xia Wenye said simply, after all, he is not a person who is indecisive.

The ninth sister nodded: "Then ask my brother to be wronged in the mountains for a few days, when the time comes, I will let Brother Shu inform you." ”

Xia Wenye glanced at Brother Shu and nodded reassuringly.
