Chapter 22: The Chill

The curtains of the night were blown by the wind, and the hunt sounded. The paper crane that had overlapped www.biquge.info nine overlapped flew out crookedly, hovering in the air for a few moments and then disappearing.

She sent it as if she were writing a letter home. People need a wall, and when you are forced to retreat again and again by something or someone, you need a wall. When you retreat to the end, your back can be attached to that to allow you to do a temporary respite. For Jiuju, the Water Cloud Sect is that wall.

On the second day, the paper crane was received by Ke Ke. After seeing the news sent by Kue, Keji directly kneaded the paper crane. She frowned, and said in her heart: "You want to go out, but I don't want you to go out." ”

At noon, a few more people came to inquire about the news of the sect leader. But he said that he was not in a hurry, the sect leader must have gone out by himself and would be back in a few days. She said this, and her heart beat a drum. Obviously, before she went out that night, the sect leader was still lying on the soft collapse, why did she disappear after the night.

She went into the room again, pretending to be cleaning, but in fact she was looking to see if the sect leader had left anything behind. She had just wiped the table twice when some of the girls came in and said they were looking for her.

"I heard others say, there are paper cranes coming over today, and you are the ones who have taken them. Tell us about it. "They all looked at Ke Ke, and they all looked full of anticipation. Ke Ke, who was looking down to wipe the table, first smiled coldly, then changed his face, and when he looked back at the girls, he looked like he was kind again.

"A girl's house is a girl's house after all, where can things be done. Kue said that it was difficult for her to protect herself now. ”

After finishing speaking, Kechen took the hand of one of the girls and said very enthusiastically: "If you go out to do things, you will get married after all, so it's better to find a mother-in-law first." In my opinion, that's the most important thing. Don't you know Miss Yanxia, she married a Xiucai, and her life is much better than Jiuzhong. ”

Kechen put his arm on the girl's shoulders and said, "I have a few brothers, who are good-looking and very good, and they are definitely a good place to be. ”

The girls glanced at each other. There's Miss Lian right here. Miss Lian shook her veil, took a few steps back, and looked at Ke Ke with a suspicious look:

"You didn't pick it up, you sold it as a slave, and the sect leader took pity on you and raised you as a daughter. I never thought that you would be all the way with them after all, and you also had the idea of buying and selling girls. ”

"You splash the dirty water so hard that it hits the hearts and livers of good people!" But he was annoyed, and stretched out his hand to push them out, "Don't look at what it is like now, everyone flies separately when the disaster comes, and I think about you and come to slander me." ”

The door slammed shut. Miss Lian's voice came through the door, with a scathing mockery:

"Whoever wants you to think about it, in the hearts of your family, thinking about it is a trap. The year before last, your brother came to recognize you on behalf of his parents, saying that he was thinking about you. You rejoiced, followed you back, bought this and that, and then you got sick and wanted to take a drop of blood from your relatives, and your brothers and parents ran away like officers and soldiers. It's really for the sake of it. ”

The girls laughed and then dispersed. These words poked into the heart of Ke Ke, and she tugged at the veil and began to cry with a whimper. She turned around and lay on the table to cry, and when she was done, anger welled up in her eyes. She also folded the paper crane, opened the door and threw it into the air.

"If you come back this time, you don't have to think about going out again."

On the prince's side, Jiuju was not only allowed to bring a few more people out, but also received a reward. Among them was a bird singing a nice song, and Kuju held the birdcage in his hand, and after walking three or two steps, he was stopped by a woman in the courtyard.

The woman was embarrassed, and refused to speak after squirming for a long time. Kue quickly understood, handed over the birdcage, and said, "It's not a rare thing to take it for the child to play with." ”

The mother-in-law graciously carried the cage and went. Jiuju walked forward again, fished out a seven-year-old boy who was about to run across the yard, and said with a smile: "If you want something fun, just tell me, your mother is old, don't let her always accompany her to beg with a smiling face." ”

The boy pulled her arm away and ran away, and went to find someone to fight crickets again. He was unruly, and he almost bumped into Yuan Cheng, who was walking towards him.

Yuan Cheng let him go for the time being, walked over and said to Jiuzhong with a smile: "I heard that you have a good bird, borrow it for me to play with." ”

Jiuzhong heard Chen Lan mention Yuan Cheng, and knew that he was easy to talk to, so he directly said that she gave the bird to the mother-in-law.

Yuan Cheng didn't say much, just sank his face. Kuju offended him somehow, and stood there not daring to move. Yuan Cheng left again, and after a while, the little guy pulled out a tall horse. Yuan Cheng turned over, clamped the horse's belly, and walked away.

Soon after he left, Chen Lan chased him out. After seeing Chen Lan, Jiuzhong felt a little relaxed. Jiuju walked over and asked him, "Young Master went out today?" Why don't you take the car? ”

Chen Lan said with a headache: "He just won a good horse from a rich son last night, and today he has to ride it out and go around in front of that son." I think the rich boy has to be half angry with him. ”

"They bet and lose a lot of things, maybe they don't care about a horse."

Chen Lan had an even more headache. It would be nice if this horse was really just an ordinary horse, and it would be more expensive at most. However, the son of that family is a horse idiot, he doesn't love women or money, he just likes to raise horses. His horse is his heart. If he hadn't drunk too much last night, he wouldn't have taken the horse out to make a bet.

How did Chen Lan know that all this was designed by Su An and Yuan Cheng. After Yuan Cheng casually said that he wanted the horse, Su An began to design the trap. The two of them have been getting together all day lately, and sometimes they work together seamlessly.

After a while, Chen Lan said that the rich have a way to have fun, and the poor also have a place to have fun, so she took Jiuzhong to the streets. The two sat in the restaurant to eat, and as soon as the dishes were put on the table, they could hear the noise outside.

It turned out that the rich boy was riding his own horse on the road, and he happened to meet Yuan Cheng. Seeing Yuan Cheng riding his favorite horse, he was angry in his heart, so he raised his whip. The horse he was riding was frightened, neighed and galloped forward, trampling a greengrocer to death.

All of a sudden, everyone gathered around. Yuan Cheng arched his hand and said to the son:

"It seems that I made you unhappy, so let's pay you some money."

The rich boy smiled and said why bother. Although I was still angry in my heart, this matter was over. The two of them went their separate ways, and neither said anything more.

Chen Lan came out of the restaurant and looked at the blood on the ground, with a chill in her eyes.
