Chapter 39
Luckily, it's summer, and there's a small village nearby. The two of them rode horses all the way, although there was no intersection, Fu Baizhi still felt that it was much better than a dry rush alone. She handed Hua Yeyu a jar of wine, and the latter reached out to take it without refusing. Seeing her elegantly remove the wine stopper, she tilted her head slightly and poured the wine into her mouth.
With Hua Yeyu's movement of raising her head, Fu Baizhi could clearly see the veins on her white neck, as well as the collarbone looming under her loose clothes. Although they have only been together for a few hours, Fu Baizhi always has a feeling in her heart that the other party is by no means an ordinary person, and the estrangement in her bones is obvious, but the enchantment revealed in her temperament and gestures is difficult to ignore, which also makes Fu Baizhi more and more curious about the true identity of this woman.
"You wait here, I'll go to the city and buy something." Fu Baizhi got off the horse as she spoke, glanced at her feet hanging in mid-air, and turned around and entered the city. Watching her back fade away, Hua Yeyu couldn't help but reach out and grab it in the air, but unfortunately only held the invisible breath.
Because there were few things to buy, Fu Baizhi quickly rushed back, followed by a coachman and a carriage. Seeing that she tied the horse to the carriage and took a hand at random to herself who got off the horse, Hua Yeyu suddenly stiffened, not knowing what kind of reaction to give, and when she was about to say thank you, Fu Baizhi had already poked her head out of the car and talked to the coachman about the direction.
"This carriage is really much more comfortable than riding a horse." After a while, Fu Baizhi returned to the carriage, she whispered, and saw that Hua Yeyu had never put on shoes, but sat motionless in the carriage. When her eyes fell on her bandaged hand, Fu Baizhi was already aware. It turns out that it's not that the other party doesn't want to wear shoes, but that he's waiting for him to serve.
"Sister Fu, can you help me put it on?" Seeing Fu Baizhi's gaze in her eyes, Hua Yeyu asked with a smile. Then I saw Fu Baizhi's smiling face a little stiff, standing motionless. This reaction is very familiar, and it is not surprising at all. Although Fu Baizhi is gentle, the arrogance in her bones is not small, and she really won't put on shoes for someone like herself who has met for "less than a few hours".
In this case, Hua Yeyu is not difficult, and what she has done along the way is nothing more than a temptation. Test Fu Baizhi's current personality and test whether she remembers her former self. Bent down and picked up the pair of red embroidered shoes, Hua Yeyu put them on his feet in a casual set, which was a little bigger, but he could barely wear them. Thinking of this, Hua Yeyu blinked, she already knew that this person would not buy the right size of shoes, this is the case for her now, and the same must be true for Hua Yeyu in the past.
Even though the distance between the two people is very close, Fu Baizhi naturally will not perceive the psychology of Hua Yeyu. From beginning to end, she never took her eyes off Hua Yeyu. The more time they spent together, the more she felt that the woman was suspicious. Aside from the vague sense of familiarity, it can be said that everything she does is strangely tight.
"Ah Jiu girl, I don't know how old you are? Why did you come to such a remote place? Forgive me, I don't know what the mask on your face is for. The carriage drove slowly, and no one spoke again for half a pillar of incense. Fu Baizhi sat on the side, seeing that the atmosphere was a little delicate, she couldn't help but ask questions. These questions had been filtered through her head several times, and in order to ensure her own safety, she really should find out where this woman came from.
"What? Sister Fu is interested in me? "Listening to Fu Baizhi ask herself like this, even though she knew that most of these questions contained words, Hua Yeyu was not annoyed or anxious, she just looked at Fu Baizhi with a light smile." If you want to say that, it's the same, Ah Jiu girl is like this... It's different, and I want to know more about you. Fu Baizhi pretended to be gentle, and did not forget to show a shallow smile at the end. This trick is really useful if it is to deceive people who don't know her temperament, but Hua Yeyu quickly saw her careful thoughts.
"Since Sister Fu wants to know, it's not impossible to say. The little girl is in her twenties this year, and her family sells vegetables for a living. Because I was born ugly, my parents were afraid that I would frighten others, so they used half a year's savings to buy this mask for me. As for why I came here, I just came to sell vegetables. ”
Listening to Hua Yeyu, it was rare to say such a long list of words, and Fu Baizhi's face became even more gloomy. She stared at the upturned corners of her mouth and couldn't help frowning. "Ah Jiu girl, do you think I will believe what you say? Not even a three-year-old would think of you as a vegetable seller. What's more, I see that half of your face exposed outside the mask has nothing to do with the ugly monster, so why don't you take off the mask and look at me? ”
Fu Baizhi told her what she thought in her heart, and she wouldn't believe that the woman in front of her with outstanding temperament and expensive clothes was a vegetable seller, and she had to use half a year's savings to buy a mask. Thinking that the other party was deceiving himself with such a random fabrication, Fu Baizhi snorted coldly.
"Sister Fu is angry with me?" Seeing Fu Baizhi's actions in her eyes, Hua Yeyu's heart was full of pride. She leaned lightly on the carriage and continued to speak, enduring the tiredness of her body
"There's nothing to be angry about, it's just that Miss Ah Jiu teased me like this, which made me a little uncomfortable."
"If you're not angry, is that something awkward?"
"Nope."
"Then why is Sister Fu dissatisfied? If you are angry with me, punish me, put on such a face, how should we walk together? ”
"I'm not happy, and you have to care?"
Listening to Hua Yeyu and talking to herself non-stop, Fu Baizhi really wanted to suspect that the other party's previous estrangement was an illusion. She looked back at the smiling woman behind her, even though the other party only covered half of her face, but the face she revealed was flawless. She really couldn't believe the ugly words, let alone the vegetable seller. What woman from a vegetable seller would go to the mountains to sell vegetables? Someone else poisoned her? If she believed it, Fu Baizhi herself would think of herself as a fool.
"Sister Fu, don't be annoyed, you and I just meet in Pingshui and walk together. You know that I don't know martial arts, and I don't pose any threat to you. You ask me about my background, and I don't want to refuse you, so I can only use those clumsy excuses to prevaricate. Although we have only been together for a few hours, I like Sister Fu from the bottom of my heart, and this mask cannot be taken off. ”
"Since you like to get along with me, and you call me sister, what if you show me your true face? I'm not going to laugh at you or talk to outsiders. After listening to Hua Yeyu's explanation, Fu Baizhi felt a little more comfortable, but she was still obsessed with the mask, for some reason, she just felt that the face under the mask would not be ugly, and the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to see it.
"I'm not afraid that Sister Fu will laugh at me, but I'm just afraid that when you see my ugly face, you will treat me... Disgusted. ”
"Oh, well, I'm going to rest." Seeing that she hadn't reached her goal after talking for so long, Fu Baizhi didn't want to mention it again, and pretended to be tired and leaned on the carriage. Suddenly, she felt her shoulders sink. Turning his head, Hua Yeyu had already leaned over and rested his head on his shoulder. Her eyes were fixed on her long dark purple hair, in fact, Fu Baizhi still had one thing she couldn't understand, there was no hair dye in ancient times, so why was Ah Jiu girl's hair this color?
Fu Baizhi pondered the reason in her heart, and it didn't take long for her eyelids to keep getting heavier, and she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up again, she found that the carriage was no longer bumping, but had stopped where it was. Hua Yeyu, who was originally leaning on her shoulder, disappeared, and she was the only one in the entire carriage. Fu Baizhi hurriedly got off the carriage and found that the sky had already turned from white to black, and at this moment the carriage did not know which woods it was parked in, this forest was so quiet and mysterious that there was not even the sound of insects and birds, and it was dead and silent.
"Ah Jiu girl? Where are you? Ah Jiu... Not! Fu Baizhi still wanted to call someone, but in the next second, her mouth was already covered by her other hand, and seeing the silver mask appear in front of her, Fu Baizhi was unexpectedly relieved.
"The coachman was gone, and when I woke up, the carriage had arrived." Hua Yeyu whispered, her long hair hanging down to cover most of her face, making it difficult to see her love. Obviously, the coachman probably deliberately parked the carriage here, and the most ridiculous thing was that he and Fu Baizhi slept so dead that they didn't notice it at all.
Hua Yeyu was not surprised that such a thing would happen, her body was weak and tight all day, especially when she met Fu Baizhi, which made all her defenses unloaded, and she slept peacefully in the car. Thinking of this, Hua Yeyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, she categorically didn't expect that the most restful sleep in six years was actually in Fu Baizhi's arms.
"It is likely that the coachman did it, and there must have been someone behind him. Now that it's too late to walk around, we'll spend the night in the carriage tonight, and we'll set off tomorrow morning. Fu Baizhi looked at the dark woods around her, and had a plan. Who would do this, she didn't know at all in her heart, after all, there will always be incidents in this river and lake, even if Fu Baizhi admits that she has not offended anyone, it is difficult to guarantee that no one wants her to die.
"That's all there is to it." Hua Yeyu agreed with Fu Baizhi's plan, and the two got into the carriage together. The wind was strong at night, and the carriage was blowing, which was really annoying. Fu Baizhi first laid out the quilt in the car, but in the end she found that there was only one that could be covered, she looked back at Hua Yeyu, who did not react, and thought that both of them were women, and it should be no problem to cover the same quilt.
"Ah Jiu girl, let's rest, do you like to sleep on the left or right?" Although Fu Baizhi was asking a question, the person lay down on the left in advance, and the familiar scene seemed to have happened before. In this regard, Hua Yeyu only glanced at the very small space and the only quilt, hesitated for a moment, and slowly lay in with her head down.
Although the two of them were both slender bodies, because the carriage was really not spacious enough, they were closely fitted together. I felt that Hua Yeyu's body was extremely cold, as if even the breath exhaled was cold. Such a scene evoked familiar memories, so that Fu Baizhi couldn't help but use her internal strength, covered her whole body with heat, and turned around to hug the person who was facing away from her.
Suddenly fell into the warm embrace, Hua Yeyu's body trembled,
Hua Yeyu did not refuse, obediently nested into Fu Baizhi's arms, enjoying the rare intimacy, even the intimacy she thought would not happen again in her life. The cold body was very comfortable, and the excessive heat made her want to hook the corners of her lips, but her nose warmed up first. She subconsciously covered it with her hand, but only touched a cold mask, which made her put down her right hand in a gloomy manner, and she could no longer laugh.
"Ah Jiu girl, have you slept?" At this time, Fu Baizhi's voice came from behind, and the source of the voice was very close, near her earlobe. Feeling that the heat of the other party's speech was unintentionally sprayed next to the pinna, Hua Yeyu's body couldn't help but tremble, and hummed softly.
"I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Sister Fu, what can I say directly."
"Since you told me to say it, I said it. The first time I saw you, I felt that you made me feel familiar with one of my old friends. ”
"What is the relationship between the old man that Sister Fu said and you?"
"She... It's a very important friend of mine. Because I left a few years ago, I always think of her, and I feel ashamed. ”
After Fu Baizhi finished speaking, she quietly waited for Hua Yeyu to reply, but after a long time, the person did not react. Thinking that the other party was asleep, Fu Baizhi felt bored at the same time, and at the same time, she no longer spoke and prepared to fall asleep. After she was breathing steadily, the person she was holding in her arms slowly turned around. The dark eyes under the mask carried a concentration that had not appeared in a day today, and if the light was brighter, you could see the melancholy and condensation hidden in them.
"If you're just a friend, why should you care? That cheap guilt, I'm not uncommon. ”
