Chapter 11: Shadows

Back at the inn, it wasn't long before it was time for dinner.

Sitting in the west corner of the inn, the four of them ate quietly.

But at this moment, a group of businessmen-like people came in and sat beside them.

Calling for wine and food, several people opened their mouths one after another, talking about the novelties of Beishuo and Lilan.

A man said in a loud voice, "You don't know, I went to Beiming this time, and I can be regarded as seeing a big scene." ”

"Cut, come on, when did you not say that? Let's say, which lady did you meet this time to recruit relatives? ”

The man glanced at the person who spoke, full of disdain, "Tell you, don't believe it, what kind of lady embroiders the building to recruit relatives, what is it, what is it, this time I saw the young lady of the general's mansion robbing relatives, and it is still the current emperor who robbed her." ”

"Ah, what's going on, tell me about ......"

Several people were talking on the side, and Tang Jin'er's hand holding the chopsticks clenched suddenly.

Listening to the man's colorful depiction, her head hurt for a while, and she couldn't help but follow the man's words and recall the scene of that day.

"And what was the result?"

"What else? Who does the emperor decide to marry, so who can stop him? Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation? ”

"Besides, it's too ...... to rob your sister Tsk......"

"Master, why can't I meet such a good thing, if there is a woman competing to rob me, tsk, I ...... master"

Before he finished speaking, a chopstick flew towards the man. The man was stunned by the sudden chopsticks, and looked sideways slightly, only to see that the chopsticks had been nailed into the pillar next to him.

The people at the table looked sideways at Tang Jin'er and the four of them, and they were angry.

Su Yi turned his back to them, felt the cold gaze, and couldn't help but hook his lips.

Exuding murderous intent, the jasper flute swirled slightly in his hand and was placed heavily on the table. "Don't bark when you eat, or you will chase it."

After speaking, he picked up another pair of chopsticks and casually put a basket of vegetables into Tang Jin'er's bowl, "This is good." ”

Tang Jin'er raised her head slightly, and forcibly calmed her pounding heart.

After saying the word "good ......", she buried her head again and continued to eat. It's just that because of this inexplicable turmoil, she can no longer taste the delicious food, and the saltiness of her tears is clear. This night, Tang Jin'er tossed and turned, unable to sleep no matter what.

After staying in Taoyuan Valley for so many days, and coming out of Taoyuan Valley with such a difficult task, she thought that her whole heart would be occupied by the secret of finding the Nine Swords.

But she didn't expect that her heartstrings were still so fragile, as long as she touched the three words of Beitangye, she would feel uncomfortable.

When she was drowsy, a black figure flashed in front of Tang Jin'er's window.

Tang Jin'er frowned and hurriedly got up.

When I opened the door and chased out of the room, I saw a letter lying quietly in front of the door, and the person had already had only an afterimage, and disappeared when he turned around.

Although it was only a vaguely visible afterimage, it still made Tang Jin'er's heart inexplicably flustered.

She gently picked up the letter from the ground, and lingered by the door for a long time before she slowly entered the room.

Lighting the candle, Tang Jin'er gently opened the envelope by the dim light. As soon as it was opened, a jade-colored pear hairpin slipped out of the envelope.

Twisting the hairpin with her hand, Tang Jin'er couldn't believe her eyes, because this hairpin was nothing else, it was the one she saw when she and Yunxi were shopping.

Inexplicably, her mind trembled, thinking of the black afterimage, Tang Jin'er's heart beat wildly.

Even if I have told myself countless times that I will no longer think about the person in my heart, I ......

Looking down at the hairpin, Tang Jin'er inexplicably hoped that he was the one who gave the hairpin.

Tang Jin'er, who was immersed in her own thoughts, didn't notice that not long after she returned to the room, the disappearing afterimage returned to the door, watching Tang Jin'er's figure hit the window by candlelight, and he silently read "Jin'er".

I didn't sleep all night until dawn.

Watching the light penetrate into the room through the window little by little, Tang Jin'er's eyes were dark but slightly moist, and she gradually woke up from her hope.

A helpless sneer pulled out from the corner of her mouth, and Tang Jin'er secretly scolded herself for being stupid.

Now, thousands of miles away, she still hopes that Beitang Ye can follow her and buy a hairpin for her.

groomed and dressed up, but couldn't help but put the hairpin on his head. Looking at herself in the mirror, whose face was slightly pale, Tang Jin'er's heart couldn't help but hurt.

Gently stroked the wound on his forehead with his hand, and the scar did not fade. Li Chen said that she could retreat, but there was a faint reluctance in her heart. Although the scar was ugly, it was the last thought that Beitang Ye left her.

"Jin'er, are you awake? It's time for breakfast. My brother said, "After breakfast, we'll go out of town......"

Tang Jin'er, who was staring at the mirror in a daze, was pulled back by Yun Xi's words.

With a long sigh, he went to open the door. Trying to pull out a smile, Tang Jin'er said softly, "I'm fine, I can go at any time."

Listening to Tang Jin'er speak, Yun Xi's eyes were completely attracted by the hairpin on her hair.

Holding Tang Jin'er's hand, Yun Xi turned around three times in a row before he couldn't help but speak, "Jin'er, this hairpin ......"

Gently pointing at the jade-colored pear blossom hairpin with his hand, Yun Xi smiled mysteriously.

Being looked at by Yun Xi for a while, Tang Jin'er regretted it a little and smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe, it's very similar to what I saw yesterday, isn't it?" ”

"What are you talking about? Yunxi, let you call Jin'er for dinner, what are you talking about? Li Chen's voice sounded leisurely, and the two looked in the direction from which the voice came, only to see that he had already walked up from downstairs.

With a shallow smile on his face, even the pretended anger was warm.

Yun Xi let go of Tang Jin'er, ran over and pulled Li Chen's arm, and said softly, "Brother, you are murdering me again, how can I pull around." I'm praising Jin'er, look at the jade-colored pear hairpin, is it very beautiful? ”

As he spoke, Yun Xi pulled Li Chen closer.

Li Chen heard Yunxi's words and slowly looked up. The jade-colored pear blossoms seemed to bloom on Tang Jin'er's head.

Ignoring his embarrassed gaze, Li Chen said softly, "It's time for breakfast, and we'll go out of the city in a while." ”

Tang Jin'er nodded lightly, and under the gaze of Yun Xi and Li Chen, she stepped downstairs.

Same seat, different people.

Thinking of the scene that happened in this corner yesterday, Tang Jin'er's heartstrings couldn't help but tremble again.

Gently stroking the jade-colored pear hairpin with her hand, Tang Jin'er suddenly felt that some love had already penetrated into her bone marrow, even if she didn't want to admit it, the heart lake would still be for the person called Beitang Night, constantly rippling.

When she left the inn, Tang Jin'er couldn't help but feel nostalgic, I don't know if she was nostalgic for this place, or for the afterimage that appeared inexplicably and disappeared inexplicably.
