Chapter 173: Returning to the Owner (2)
That night, Bai Moyin took her to find another inn in Dingshui Town to rest, saying that it was an inn, but it was more like a small courtyard, although it was not big, it was quiet and elegant, and there were few people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Cen Kexuan didn't ask much, after eating, he entered the house and called someone to bring the bathing items, so he avoided it first. She still has a lot of things to do, such as bathing, changing clothes, cleaning wounds, "After that, I will come to check your pulse and prescribe some medicine." He said as he left.
The large pile of items he was carrying were all thrown on the table, fire folds, ordinary wound medicine, porcelain bottles and yellow paper bags given by Xiao Wu, a dagger that he carried, Cen Kexuan turned out a clean cloth to wrap these things, tied a knot and hid them in the cabinet, and then began to bathe and clean.
Gently pulling the belt and skirt, the torn clothes slid off with the body, gradually revealing the white shoulders and slender legs, and a small piece of the residual cloth on the clothes stuck to the wound, which was not treated at the time, and was stuck by the scabbed scar, and when she tore it open, she burst into tears.
Before thinking of bathing, Bai Moyin hesitated when leaving, but did not forget to tell her to be careful in everything, and if there are wounds on her body, try not to touch the water. She nodded, her eyes downcast, and he was a little embarrassed to talk about it, and he couldn't say more.
But when she really began to wash her body, she found that it was difficult to avoid the wound, the most serious injury was still in the shoulder, which was stabbed by Han Yue with a dagger, and then there were many other abrasions and scratches. Horizontal and vertical troublesome and incomplete, she was annoyed, so she sank her whole body into the bathtub regardless of the ground.
The warm water was like a warm current, covering all the wounds, cutting through every inch of her soft skin, the healed scars were softened, and the unhealed areas were scorchingly painful, she frowned at first, but quickly got used to it, and the hot water in the room emitted a swirling mist, spreading throughout the room, making her vision gradually blur.
Bai Moyin didn't go far after going out, still standing outside the door waiting for her, her long figure fell on the window paper, lined with slanted branches, like a picture scroll.
She didn't know what it meant for a man to be willing to spend time waiting, and the hidden implications made her feel even more complicated.
There are some petals floating on the surface of the water, twisting a piece and sniffing it, it is fragrant in the wet, and the color is gorgeous, it is actually a peony flower. She rested her head on the edge of the tub and let her whole body sink completely into the water, her eyes staring straight at the figure in the doorway, biting her lip so much that it almost bled out.
What to do with it, she still didn't know.
There are more inns in Dingshui Town than she imagined, and the one she stayed in tonight is located at the edge of the town, in the northwest direction, next to the peony mountain, so when she followed Bai Moyin before, she found that there were a lot of peonies planted in the courtyard of the inn. During the day, since Dao Baifeng left, Cen Kexuan has been nervous and doesn't know how to speak.
The guy surnamed Dao will go, but he has to say something embarrassing. Han Yue's matter, how should she deal with it? If Bai Moyin wants to be unfavorable to Han Yue, how can she stop it? When the time comes, she will be in a dilemma. It's better to just give him the Qilin Blood Jade, she suddenly thought: If it is Bai Moyin, maybe as long as she hands over the jade pendant, she will confess to him......
Cen Kexuan, who was in a tangle, frowned sometimes and sometimes nervous, her face was uncertain, her knees were stained with a lot of mud and rain, only half dried, the clothes on her shoulders were torn, the blood stains were washed, but not all of them were washed, and there were scratches on her face that didn't know where to go.
This anxious and uneasy, embarrassed and depressed appearance fell on Bai Moyin's eyes without abatement.
"Let's change our clothes first." He sighed softly at the end.
Cen Kexuan's face turned red all of a sudden. It is said that women are the ones who please themselves, why is she the most embarrassed when she is bumped into by him every time.
"It's really you who was in the embroidery workshop just now......" she murmured in hindsight.
Bai Moyin bowed slightly, and the clear jaw line drew a good-looking arc: "It always takes some time to make clothes temporarily, I have to be in a hurry, I saw that the boss's daughter was similar to you, so I asked her to cut her love." "That set of clothes has just been made, it was made by the proprietress for her daughter, and it was hung in the store but was taken by Bai Moyin, it was originally a priceless thing, no matter what, it was not sold, who knew that the shopkeeper's daughter happened to come to pick it up, and after meeting with Bai Moyin, she happily agreed to his request.
It's just that she also has a condition, that is, she wants Bai Moyin to make a picture for her, and she wears this dress as a souvenir, after all, she has not worn it and gave it away, so she always has to keep some thoughts, this request is not too much anyway, Bai Moyin had to agree, and when Cen Kexuan saw them, it was already the last conversation between the girl and him.
"It's so easy to cut love, maybe someone else will go, and people won't give it." Cen Kexuan said awkwardly. If she knew that he had also painted the girl with whom she had only one side, she would have been even more aware. Bai Moyin just smiled and didn't say anything, without explaining too much.
Cen Kexuan realized that he didn't want to say more, so he looked away and said, "Then shall we go and get it now?" "The two very consciously forgot about the previous Cold War.
"They'll be here later."
"Where to send to? We ......" She hesitated for a moment, thinking that she had planned to go back, and now that she met him, there were just under the steps, and since he didn't ask the reason, she was too happy not to explain. If you show him a cold face like you did at the beginning, it really looks like an inch.
Not to mention...... Cen Kexuan, who was afraid of being hated by him, how could he really ignore him? It's just that I'm flustered and don't know how to face it.
"Where are we staying tonight?" She avoided his gaze and asked as casually as possible, "Is it here?" Looking up at the closed window on the second floor, I thought of the Fusang people and the people of Sanqingmen, and I was depressed, and I really didn't have a good impression of this inn.
"Let's switch to a quieter one." He took her by the hand and led her away, apparently not liking the noise.
His hands were a little cold, like touching a cold jade at night, cold at first, but gradually, the body temperature from the depths would be transmitted to the palm of his hand, warming up a little bit. Or rather, that's often the case with him. Walking hand in hand with him on the streets of the town, the tension gradually eased, Cen Kexuan turned his head, and then began to have time to look at him carefully, many details that he didn't pay attention to when they met, and finally had time to care about them one by one.
For example, his expression is still cold, his words are surprisingly few today, and the clothes he wears are different from before.
Since the acquaintance, he seems to have always liked to wear loose white clothes with wide sleeves, and some simple patterns are tattooed on the clothes, usually light colors similar to those of white clothes, which are difficult to detect without looking closely. But today, I saw that his cuffs and placket were dotted with red dark lines, which was a rare and dazzling color, which made his originally fair face more lustrous and looked much more popular.
It's just a question that has been lingering in her mind for a long time, why did he come to Dingshui Town, and what exactly did he plan?
"Are you...... Looking for Hangoe? She asked in a whisper.
Stepping on the bluestone pavement of the alley, making a very slight sound, she could only see his side face, but after hearing this, she saw him stop and turn his face, and the sound under his feet stopped abruptly. She slammed into his dark pupils, her heart beating in vain, and she suddenly regretted her impulse.
"It's not." After a moment of silence, he said.
Whether it was true or not, Cen Kexuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you are ......" Before the words were finished, her head suddenly began to dizzy again, she was top-heavy, weak, and her chest was inexplicably cold, she saw that his eyes sank, obviously noticed her trance, but he didn't ask anything, clenched her hand slightly, and said softly: "Let's not talk about him first, okay?" ā
All the contradictions and suspicions, not to think, not to ask, this is how similar to her previous thoughts, but this time, she is unwilling to avoid. Cen Kexuan closed her eyes and said a little stubbornly: "You are clearly looking for him......" She didn't want to confront him anything, but if she couldn't confirm that he had no ill will towards Han Yue, she wouldn't be at peace anyway.
Bai Moyin didn't deny it, but he seemed to remember something all of a sudden, and suddenly smiled: "You dropped something." As he spoke, he let go of the hand holding her, and the warmth on Cen Kexuan's hand disappeared, and the temperature he brought was still left on his fingertips, which was as light as a cloud of smoke, but it was attached. She saw him take something out of his clothes, his slender fingers were distinctly jointed, and when his palm was spread, a dark and ruddy unicorn jade pendant appeared.
"Now it's time for it to be returned to its rightful owner." He whispered, but Cen Kexuan didn't move, so he took her hand and put it in her palm.
Hard, moist, smooth, and even carrying his body temperature, when this thing really returned to her hands, Cen Kexuan's whole person was stunned, and the other unicorn blood jade she lost was actually picked up by Bai Moyin......
It was a coincidence and an incredible, and what really shocked her was why he had returned it to her so casually. What is he trying to express? Their family had put so much effort into getting this jade pendant, and even did not hesitate to use such extreme means, how could they get to him, but they didn't care at all?
Could it be that she had been thinking wrong all along?
