223. [223] Found it
The purple clothes stayed in the desert for another three days, but they couldn't wait for the man with his daughter who would come to buy daily necessities regularly.
Bluegrass's body is getting weaker and weaker, and in the past few days, she has fallen into a coma one after another. Fortunately, Yintong and Mu Beichen went to the source of the desert to get water, and soaked the blue grass in the water, and the blue grass was better.
These three days have been a huge torture for Ziyi.
She was worried that the man would never appear again, and she was afraid that the man would appear, but it was not Kaoru Duanki.
She was worried that the man would not be Duanmu Kaoru when he appeared, and she was also afraid that the man was really Duanmu Kaoru.
If the man never appears again, or if he appears but is not the person she is looking for, then the clue she just got will be lost.
If that man appeared, it was Kaoru Duanmu.
But why?
Why did he take Sisi to survive alone in the desert! You won't even bring her a letter of peace?!
What happened to him?
Or were you really brainwashed by that and non?!
Ziyi couldn't imagine it, as if no matter what kind of ending it was, it was not something she could accept.
On the fourth day, when the shopkeeper came to the inn to inform everyone that the man had finally reappeared, Ziyi hesitated, and she found that she no longer had the courage to step out of the inn again.
"Ziyi, why don't you stay and take care of the blue grass." Silver Pupil looked at the purple clothes and frowned.
Ziyi's face is really ugly now.
Obviously, she should be happy to get the news, but now her little face has a crying expression. That Xiao Er was already a little impatient, after all, it was not easy for him to keep the guest that these people were looking for.
I'm afraid that after a long time, the guest can't wait, and leaves in anger.
Didn't he lose a single business for nothing!
In this desert, business is already difficult to do, and finally a master who is not bad for money has come, and he doesn't want to offend people so soon.
Ziyi looked at the silver pupils, and shook his head as if he had made up his mind: "I'll go with you!" ”
A few people paid a woman who watched her duty, and asked her to help take care of the blue grass during the time when everyone left, and hurriedly followed Xiao Er.
This town on the border of the desert is called Sand Town, and this Sand Town is not big in total, so the shop is actually not far away. It's just that at this time, the yellow sand is full of wind, blowing people can't open their eyes, and walking is more difficult.
However, in a short distance, it took a stick of incense.
"Hey, a few of you, it's just ahead." Xiao Er's voice sounded a little blurry, and he was blown away by the strong wind. When Ziyi barely raised his head, he saw a small building not far away that was not in the wild sand.
The small building was wooden and looked crumbling.
Xiao Er took a few people into the store, asked the guy who looked at the store, and learned that the customer hadn't left yet, and the sudden sandstorm made him have to stay for the sake of the child in his arms.
When Xiao Er instructed the guy to lead everyone to stand in the room where the guests were staying temporarily, the group stood outside the door and were silent.
It's just a door, it looks so light and thin, but it feels so heavy.
No one knew if there was anyone behind the door they were looking for.
If not—what then?
Taking a deep breath, Ziyi stepped forward, gently placed her palm on the door, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and bent her arms hard, and the door was pushed open by her.
"Ziyi-" The childish voice sounded, and the familiar tone almost made Ziyi burst into tears.
"Sisi!" Ziyi opened her eyes, and a young face was looking up at her.
This little face looked dirty, and the skin was not as smooth as it was at the beginning, only the big watery eyes still had a smile in them, and they were familiar to her.
"Ziyi, hug-" Sisi stretched out his hand to Ziyi, Ziyi trembled and picked Sisi up, raised his head, and looked at the man sitting by the window.
The man—
It's not Kaoru Duanmu!
"Ziyi, think of you." Still the familiar words, Sisi held the little face of the purple clothes, and kissed the cheeks of the purple clothes, and the dirty little hands imprinted a small black handprint on the cheeks of the purple clothes.
"Sisi, where's Kaoru?" Ziyi looked at Sisi, her eyes full of anxiety.
Why isn't Kaoru Duanmu with Sisi? Who is this man in front of you? Why is Sisi with this man? What about Kaoru Duanmu? Where is Kaoru Duanmu? How could he leave Sisi alone?!
There were too many questions in his mind, and these questions piled up, so that Ziyi didn't know which one to ask for a while.
"Ziyi, my father is not here." Sisi looked at Ziyi, holding Ziyi's neck with two small hands, and grabbed it to death, as if she was afraid that Ziyi would abandon her: "Sisi doesn't know where her father went, she walked in with a beautiful woman." ”
"How come—" Ziyi staggered back a few steps, only to feel that his legs were weak, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.
"Sisi, do you know where your father has gone? In which direction? Mu Beichen gently supported Ziyi, and when he asked Sisi a question, his eyes stared at the man who had been sitting by the window without moving from beginning to end.
"That's Sisi's puppet." Sisi seemed to notice Mu Beichen's gaze, shook her head lightly and continued: "Sisi doesn't know where his father went, originally Sisi was with his father, but later, that woman took her father away. Leaving Sisi alone in the desert, Sisi had to find a puppet and take Sisi out of the desert. ”
After Sisi finished speaking, he looked at Ziyi, with a touch of worry on his little face: "Ziyi, you won't blame Sisi, right?" ”
It was the first time she had harmed a human.
But it wasn't what she wanted.
If she doesn't hurt this man and control his body, then with her small body, it is estimated that she will not be able to get out of that desert in this life.
"Sisi, what does that woman look like?" Ziyi had been standing in place stupidly, his eyes were straight, as if he hadn't heard Sisi's words at all, Mu Beichen shook his head gently, continued to look at Sisi and asked, "Why did you and your father suddenly disappear from the barracks?" ”
Sisi blinked her eyes wide, no longer spoke, but stared at Ziyi tightly.
The little mouth pursed slightly, and the big eyes were full of tears.
"Ziyi, you won't blame Sisi, right?" The little hand gently patted Ziyi's shoulder, and Xiao Sisi's voice was also slightly choked.
She never cried when she encountered a storm in the desert.
But at this moment, she was so afraid that Ziyi would reject her forever because she had hurt humanity.
"Ziyi doesn't blame Sisi-" Ziyi finally reacted, she gently touched Sisi's head, but tears fell one step ahead of Sisi: "Sisi, Ziyi misses you so much, I miss your father so much-"
"Purple clothes don't cry." Sisi saw Ziyi crying, holding back the tears in her eyes, pursed her small mouth and stretched out her little hand to wipe away Ziyi's tears one by one.
But Ziyi's tears are like beads with broken threads, and they can't be wiped off no matter how much they wipe.
Sisi was anxious, but he choked up and couldn't say a word.
She only knows that Ziyi is crying, she can't cry, if she cries, who else will comfort her Ziyi?
Repeatedly wiped away the tears on Ziyi's face, the stubborn little face was slightly upturned, the little mouth had trembled into an arc, and his eyes were red, but Sisi just didn't let the tears in his eyes have a chance to fall.
"Purple clothes, don't do this, we must have another way to find Kaoru." Mu Beichen looked at the two people in front of him, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
"Ziyi, where's your belly? Have you given birth to a baby? Seeing that he couldn't wipe the tears of the purple clothes, the smart little Sisi simply chose to change the topic.
Ziyi put away her tears and barely pulled out an ugly smile at Sisi: "Well, Ziyi gave birth to two babies, both of whom are cuter than Sisi." ”
Sisi had been holding back the tears, and when she heard Ziyi's words, she suddenly burst like a flood that broke the embankment, brushing and washing her dirty little face, and in an instant the little face became a flower cat: "Sisi doesn't like Ziyi's baby!" Wow woo woo - Sisi is the cutest, Sisi is the most beautiful! Purple Yi can only like Sisi-"
Ziyi looked at Sisi, a little crying and laughing, she stretched out her hand and gently scraped the tip of Sisi's nose, and asked, "Sisi, sue sù Ziyi, what is going on with this qiē?" ”
"It's the cutest thing when you think about it first." Sisi blinked with teary eyes and looked at Ziyi in a misty manner.
"Okay, Sisi is the cutest." After Sisi made such a fuss, Ziyi felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.
At least, she now knew that Kaoru Duanmu should be safe.
Moreover, there was a faint belief in her heart.
She'll definitely find him.
Absolutely!
The group took Sisi back to the inn, while the puppet controlled by Sisi stayed in the small shop. Sisi imprisoned the man, and that man would leave voluntarily in the evening and go out into the desert - never to come out again.
Bluegrass soaked in water all day and is now much better.
At least the person is awake.
They returned to the inn and sent away the woman who had taken care of the blue grass. When Lan Cao saw Sisi, a difference flashed on her face, and immediately, she found that there was only Sisi, and there was no shadow of Duanmu Kaoru.
Looking at Ziyi's expression, Lan Cao didn't ask anything.
And Sisi finally opened his mouth and told everyone about the things since the day he disappeared.
It turned out that after Duanmu Xun and the soldiers arrived at the barracks, Sisi couldn't stand the dry and dusty air of the desert and coughed all day, so Duanmu Xun took Sisi to his camp tent and sent someone to take care of him.
And Duanmu Kaoru has always wanted to find an opportunity to go to the territory of the barbarians and find out.
Finally, that night, Duanmu Kaoru left the camp in black clothes at night, without alarming anyone.
And Sisi was curious for a while, so he wanted to quietly follow out, who knows, as soon as he got out of the camp tent, he crashed into the body of Duan Mu Xun outside the camp tent.
It turned out that outside the account, I don't know when, there was a woman standing.
When Sisi saw that woman, the first thought that flashed through her mind was that this woman was so beautiful.
The woman's skin is unhealthy and pale, and the whole person is soft and weak, and there is no expression on her face, but she is pitiful. The jet-black hair hung down at the back of her head, without any bun or decoration, and the woman was also dressed in black, but unlike Duanmu Kaoru's tight-fitting black clothes, the woman was wearing a black loose gauze skirt.
As soon as the desert wind blew, the woman's black hair and black skirt flew together, faintly revealing the white skin inside the black dress, and by the moonlight, the skin looked more and more crystal clear.
"Who are you?" Sisi heard that Duanmu Kaoru, who was standing in front of her at the time, had a cold voice when she asked this sentence. It's just that, instead of asking, Duanmu Kaoru's words seem to have a trace of certainty.
It was as if he already knew who the woman standing in front of him was.
The woman didn't speak, just turned around and was about to leave. And Duanmu Kaoru didn't speak, just followed the woman all the way to the outside of the tent.
Sisi didn't know what to do, so she followed stupidly.
However, the strange thing is that the actions of the three men did not shy away at all, but there was not a single figure in the entire camp. So Sisi roughly guessed that they might have been brought to the enchantment by this woman.
If it weren't for the fact that her body was still petite and couldn't withstand the huge energy after awakening, Sisi wouldn't have to follow behind the two of them so timidly, full of questions that couldn't be solved.
The woman took Duanmu Kaoru all the way to a green space in the desert, and Duanmu Kaoru found Sisi who had been following him. He scooped Sisi up with one palm and hugged it in his arms, looking at the woman in front of him vigilantly.
And Sisi was picked up by Duanmu Kaoru, and the angle of her gaze changed, and she could almost look at the woman in parallel.
And with this look, Sisi discovered a strange thing.
On the woman's smooth forehead, there was a thin line that could not be discerned by the naked eye.
And under that thin line, there is actually an eyeball.
It's just that the eyeball is motionless at this time, as if it is asleep.
Sisi frowned, and her little hand unconsciously grabbed Duanmu Kaoru's big hand. She believed that Kaoru Duanmu would be able to see those strange eyes as well.
Duanmu Kaoru obviously saw it too, so he hugged Sisi in his arms a little tighter.
"Why don't you ask who I am anymore?"
The woman just kept looking at Duanmu Xun and Sisi quietly, and she didn't know how long it took before she spoke quietly.
The woman's voice was ethereal, and there seemed to be magic in that voice, which made people feel a little addicted to it.
Sisi's little face wrinkled into a small bun, and she looked up at her father, for fear that her father would be hooked by this woman's appearance and voice.
When Sisi said this, Ziyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled.
