Chapter 22 Picking Up a Person

Before dawn, Qian Yuning got up and combed in the mirror, put a chrysanthemum-shaped hairpin carved from fragrant wood that he bought for five cents yesterday on his head, and took a basket filled with wine, vegetables and wax paper money to Qinglong Bay alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info today is Wei Mingyuan's taboo, last night's snow has already stopped, the surrounding white expanse, the sky is still early, Qian Yuning will take advantage of this night to go out, go early and return early, so as not to be seen by others, and it will inevitably be a cynicism again. Since Qian Yuning lived alone, he tried to minimize contact with the outside world, except for going out to buy food, buy needlework and cloth, and sell embroidery, he almost didn't go out, and only ******** locked up in the house to embroider things by himself.

When she came to the lake, Qian Yuning set up the wine and food, lit the fragrant wax, and burned the paper money to her husband one by one, crying while burning, and chanting words in her mouth while crying, saying: "Husband, Yuning is here to bring you wine and food, today is your birthday, come and eat, make the steamed white fish and pumpkin shreds you like to eat." Husband, take this paper money, you can use it below, buy food and clothing, husband......... Woo woo woo woo ............ "As she spoke, Qian Yuning actually cried, whimpering with the bitterness in her mouth, thinking about the sadness and hardship of these days, she cried so hard that she couldn't cry, and her face was full of tears.

Qian Yuning was immersed in sadness, so he didn't see a person in the water crawling ashore from the river, probably because the river was too cold and his body was frozen, so he crawled very slowly. He probably saw someone on the riverbank and asked about the smell of food, so he crawled towards Qian Yuning, who was immersed in pain alone, and didn't notice this strange scene at all. And the man was also strange, that is, he saw people, but he didn't say a word, asking the family to do a favor, help him or something, and he had to crawl slowly by himself. The man crawled closer, didn't speak, didn't say hello, and directly reached out and picked up the fish that Qian Yuning made for her husband and ate it on his stomach, he was probably hungry and ate quickly, but miraculously spit out the thorns while eating, and a fish was eaten quickly, and it was a miracle that it was not stuck by the fish bones.

"Ahh ………………… Yes! ………………! Qian Yuning probably finally found that there was an extra person in front of him, and it was a wet and dirty person like a water ghost, which looked particularly terrifying. When she shouted, fortunately there was a wilderness nearby, and it was morning, and it was not yet completely dawn, and no one could hear it, and the only person who could hear it and hear it clearly did not react at all, and still unceremoniously took a pile of incense wax paper money to eat in front of the dead man, and was not too cautious to panic. However, looking at him like this, if he doesn't eat, he will really become a ghost, a starving ghost, so he should know this very well, and he eats the sacrifices of the dead very quickly, without any psychological burden.

Qian Yuning couldn't care about being sad at this time, and there was no grief in her heart, the only thing she could think of was to leave here, this ghost in front of her was definitely not Wei Mingyuan's change, he must be other water ghosts. Just when Qian Yuning hurriedly wanted to get up and run away, she tripped over her skirt because she was too panicked, and then she tried to get up again, but found that she couldn't get up, because the person actually held her down with one hand and fixed her on the ground, Qian Yuning was very scared at this time, her whole body trembled, her hands and feet were soft, and she felt that the blood in her whole body seemed to be drained, and her whole body was cold and cold, from her brain to her heart.

"Don't be afraid." The water ghost pinched Qian Yuning's neck with one hand and fixed her to the ground, the whole person sat up with difficulty, and with the other hand, he lifted the long hair that was scattered and covered his face because of swimming just now, revealing a miserable but heroic face, his fingers lightly pressed on Qian Yuning's neck, cold as a piece of ice, "I'm injured, can you save me?" He stared at Qian Yuning and asked calmly. It's as simple as saying, what to eat tonight. Although the words were a question, his hand had been close to the major artery on Qian Yuning's neck, Qian Yuning could hear his heart beating fast, the sound of blood flowing through the veins in his neck, again and again, she didn't dare to say no, although she really didn't want to, but she was afraid that if she said no, she was afraid that the hand on her neck would tighten in the next second and break her neck, that hand and the condescending man in front of her staring at her were too high-pressure, she nodded involuntarily, and her mouth seemed to be blocked, I couldn't say a word, I could only try to grow my mouth to breathe like a fish out of water.

"Who are you paying tribute to?" The man reached out and hooked Qian Yuning's neck to make her stand up, then put his hand on her shoulder and asked.

"My husband." Qian Yuning replied cautiously.

"Oh? So you're a widow? The man raised an eyebrow and asked knowingly.

Qian Yuning resisted the urge to run away, and let out an obedient "um", feeling that the hand on her shoulder seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, which made her breathless.

"Are you living alone?" The man asked suddenly.

"yes!" After Qian Yuning answered, he realized that it was dangerous for him to answer like this, so he quickly covered his mouth, but unfortunately it was too late.

"Okay." The man seemed satisfied, "Then let's go to your house!" He doesn't seem to shy away from Qian Yuning's widow at all. But Qian Yuning seemed to have been stunned by him, she had grown so big, and it was the first time she had seen such a shameless and unscrupulous man, and she actually said to a widow in broad daylight, I want to go to live at your house. Does this sound like a word?

Regardless of whether it looks like it or not, the man still followed Qian Yuning back to her home, although it is said to be a temporary rented place, but after all, it can also be sheltered from the wind and rain, and it can be regarded as a home. The man seemed to have been injured in his left leg and couldn't use his strength, so he asked Qian Yuning to hold his left hand, and he put all his weight on his right foot, and limped to Qian Yuning's house. At this time, the sky was not completely bright, Qian Yuning cautiously looked left and right along the way, for fear that others would find out that he had brought a man home, fortunately the sky began to be hazy, there were few pedestrians on the road, and there was some fog in the early morning, no one recognized her as the widow of Qian, these two people supported each other, others looked from a distance, and thought it was a small couple of families, and they didn't care too much, everyone had their own day's work, and no one had time to come and see what was going on.

The two of them entered the house, Qian Yuning hurriedly started to serve people, boiled water to wash the man's body and wounds, and let him sleep in the bed, and then temporarily sewed a dress for him, there was only a pink and yellow cloth at home, although men are not suitable for light yellow, but there is no way to do it, he still put it on with a stinky face. Qian Yuning hurriedly took out his clothes and washed them, burned charcoal, and dried them over the fire. On closer inspection, although his clothes were badly damaged, the material was very good, it was a fine silk brocade, light and warm. After getting his clothes, Qian Yuning looked through the belongings he took out of his clothes when he washed his clothes, and found that there were many silver tickets, but they had been blistered, and there were a few small gold ingots in the style of ingots, more than a dozen peanuts made of gold and more than 20 golden melon seeds, all of which were made vividly, very delicate and lovely, in addition, there was also a round jade with carp reliefs engraved on both sides of the black, and a short sword inlaid with rubies. Qian Yuning put down the golden peanut in his hand, reached out and picked up the short sword, held the scabbard in his left hand, and held the hilt in his right hand, and couldn't help but pull it out.

Suddenly, her hands warmed, it turned out that the man had woken up, and now he was holding her right hand with his left hand, and his right hand was holding her left hand, and then staring at her and slowly closing the sword she had just drawn again. The sword was closed, he didn't let go, and looked at Qian Yuning fixedly, this action made Qian Yuning's face flushed, and he tried hard in his hand, but he couldn't pull it out, but he made his hand hurt. Qian Yuning's eyes were red, and he was about to cry, but the man suddenly became kind, let go of his hand, and didn't know how he moved, and with a flick of his hand, the sword reached his right hand and grasped it steadily. Although his character is really not very good, his posture of holding the sword is indeed very handsome, coupled with the fact that he is already handsome, with sword eyebrows flying obliquely, eyes like stars, wide forehead and square face, thin lips slightly pursed, and long hair scattered at will, even if he is now wearing nondescript pink and yellow coarse clothes, he still looks extremely noble, and he is not comparable to ordinary people with that chic and calm bearing. Seeing that Qian Yuning was stunned, a smile suddenly appeared on the man's face: "What, you like me?" His eyebrow raising action was so ruffian and graceful, softening the lines of his face, and his lofty momentum was less and more intimate.

"Do you like the gold?" The man smiled like a spring breeze, and the tone of inquiry was also very gentle, looking at his smiling and kind appearance, I don't know why, Qian Yuning only felt that his scalp was numb, and quickly shook his head.

"Oh? Don't like it? Don't they all say that women like gold? Qian Yuning still shook his head.

The man lifted his chin and said, "Take the golden peanut and exchange it for silver, and buy me two sets of clothes, the black ones." Also, buy some food. "Qian Yuning is like his maidservant, commanded by him, but she is commanded by him, which is also a strange thing. Qian Yuning listened to the order, picked up a golden peanut and hurriedly went out to buy clothes and food for him. He, on the other hand, looked at the door playfully for a long time, then withdrew his eyes and glanced at the pair of golden things in the humble hut, and thoughtfully held the sword to his chest and lay down.

That night, the man put on the clothes that Qian Yuning bought for him, and they actually fit just right, he glanced at Qian Yuning, who was sleeping, in surprise, and took the ruby short sword into his arms, flashed, and swam into the night like a fish.
