Chapter 127: Closing the Dark Room
Ran Qiu was obviously not the only one who thought like this, Miss Mei also heard it, she thought of the methods used by Mr. Qing to treat his subordinates when he was angry, and immediately trembled with fright, and hurriedly defended herself:
"Mr. Qing Mingjian, no one is the first among the leaders of this wild girl, and she is still talking wildly, I just want to punish me for a small punishment, but she injured me for no reason, the fault of this matter is all on this wild girl!"
"It seems that I have been too indulgent to you lately, so I have developed your arrogant and domineering temperament, Miss Mei, you have disappointed me."
Mr. Qing looked at Miss Mei who fell to the ground, embarrassed, and slowly shook his head, his eyes showing disgust.
On the other hand, Ran Qiunian, because of the venting just now, still had a thin red on his face, looking like a blooming peach blossom, more and more beautiful.
In contrast, Mr. Qing's heart naturally deviated to Ran Qiunian's body.
What's more, he glanced thoughtfully at Mr. Qiu, who spoke out to defend Ran Qiunian, and was a little surprised and a little satisfied.
I didn't expect that it was just the first time we met, and Ran Qiunian could confuse Mr. Qiu, who was the least feminine in the courtyard, without a trace, such a good seedling is much more valuable than Miss Mei, who doesn't know whether to live or die.
"Tomorrow you will be sent to another garden, and by the way you are, don't ruin my reputation. If you don't hurry up and help Miss Mei down to take medicine, if there is a scar, it will not be good. ”
Mr. Qing glanced at Miss Mei on the ground lightly, and his tone was also cold and indifferent, as soon as everyone saw it, they knew that this Miss Mei had completely fallen out of favor with Mr. Qing, and immediately looked at her with a little pity in his eyes.
After waiting for someone to carry down the girl Mei with a dead face, the girl in the courtyard was the only one left, Ran Qiunian was the only one left, Xiao Que stood aside with his head bowed a little, and he didn't even dare to gasp, for fear that Mr. Qing would think of it.
Fortunately, no one in the courtyard had the time to notice her at this time.
Ran Qiunian didn't know why Miss Mei's face was so ugly when she was carried down, as if she was not going to be drugged, but to be punished.
She glanced at the whip on the ground, and for some reason, she made it very easy, so when she whipped Miss Mei, she was restrained, at most, it hurt her very much, and it didn't hurt her muscles and bones, as long as she used good medicine to recuperate, she was not afraid of scars.
With the importance attached to skin appearance in this place, Ran Qiunian didn't think that there would be no good medicine for injuries here. But Ran Qiunian didn't expect that there was a wall falling down and everyone pushing it.
"Peach girl, today you abolished the best person I trained, but your value is still above her, so I won't punish you for this."
Mr. Qing said to Ran Qiunian with a smile.
Ran Qiunian just looked at it coldly, waiting for him to continue.
Mr. Qing really didn't say the second half of the sentence: "But you are too reckless and disobedient to discipline, but you have committed a big taboo." Thinking that you are a first-time offender, you will only be locked up in a dark room for one night, and a small punishment will be imposed, I hope you will remember this lesson and control your mouth in the future. ”
"Mr. Qiu, I don't know if you are satisfied with my punishment?"
Mr. Qing suddenly said to Mr. Qiu, Mr. Qiu glanced at him inexplicably, turned around and left directly: "Your own people, train yourself, what's the matter with me?" ”
Mr. Qing watched him leave with a smile, and when he saw that Ran Qiunian was still standing in place, he called Xiao Que.
"Peach girl, shall we go too?"
Xiao Que trembled in response, stepped forward and pointed the way to Ran Qiunian.
Ran Qiunian didn't know what the dark room was, but since it was a punishment, it would definitely not let her pass easily. But the moment she threw out the whip, Ran Qiunian was ready to face everything next.
She took a step and followed the magpie out of the garden and towards the dark room.
"Peach girl, why did you bother to say those words just now? The darkroom is not a comfortable place, but fortunately, it is only dark, and it will pass after a while. You beat Miss Mei, and you will be the first in the Tianzi class in the future, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. ”
After the two of them walked out of Mr. Qing's line of sight, Xiao Que finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, opened the chatterbox, and talked to Ran Qiunian.
But Ran Qiunian still remembered that when she was embarrassed by Miss Mei, Xiao Que stood by and watched, and she was always a little wary of this girl, and she couldn't get close.
"Yes, I listened to what Miss Mei said before, and I thought she was kind to you, but now it seems that it is not true."
Xiaoque can stay here as a maidservant girl because Miss Mei speaks well for her in front of Mr. Qing. Ran Qiunian can remember these words clearly.
"She's not kind at all, but she likes to belittle others, Peach Girl doesn't know, I also have a chance to be promoted......"
Xiao Que's words came to an abrupt end, but they led to reverie. Ran Qiunian glanced at her, and saw the ambition and resentment in her eyes that she didn't have time to hide, and she was immediately shocked.
"I see, then who is Mr. Qiu? It looks like he is on the same level as Mr. Qing, but when I went to see Master Xi before, why didn't I see him? ”
Ran Qiunian lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and changed the topic.
"Mr. Qiu?" Xiao Que was stunned for a moment and explained, "Although he is teaching master, he teaches martial arts strategy, and the girls don't need to learn this." ”
Ran Qiunian nodded, but she thought of Xiao Yin who was taken to the other side. Brother Yin must have seen this Mr. Qiu too, and I don't know if everything is okay on his side?
"This is the dark room, Peach Girl, please come in, between now and tomorrow morning, there are still several hours to stay up, if you really can't hold on, slam the door and call people."
Xiao Que hesitated for a moment, but still said something more: "Mr. Qing values you, those guards won't be too serious, Miss Peach doesn't have to worry too much." ”
Ran Qiunian nodded, no matter what, he still thanked Xiao Que, pushed open the closed door of the dark room, and walked in with his feet raised.
The room was small, there was no light, only a broken bamboo couch in the corner, and a quilt with an unclear color was lost. As the door closed, the room suddenly became invisible when it lost its only light source.
Ran Qiunian stood in place, closed his eyes, suppressed the uneasiness that surged into his heart for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the bamboo couch he saw before.
She reached out and touched the edge of the bed, confirmed her position, and then sat down quietly.
There was silence in the room, only darkness and Ran Qiunian's own heartbeat.
As the minutes ticked by, she didn't know what time it was outside, and the thick darkness and dead silence made her gradually irritable.
So that's the real punishment for closing the darkroom? Ran Qiu thought inexplicably, she sat in the corner with her knees crossed, her eyes closed and opened.
I thought I was going to stay up like this until daytime, but suddenly there were a few slight noises above my head.
In normal times, Ran Qiunian would never have noticed it, but this dark room was so quiet that even the sound of hair falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
Ran Qiunian looked up at the top of her head suddenly, her eyes were naturally still a familiar darkness, she held her breath, she didn't know whether it was fear or expectation, she was waiting for the sound to come again.
The next moment, the tile above his head was gently removed, and Ran Qiu heard the sound of this small sound clearly in the dark room, and with the removed tile, a soft ray of moonlight came in.
But what Ran Qiunian paid attention to was not the time at this time, but the familiar face that emerged from the gaps in the tiles.
"Brother Yin!"
Ran Qiunian's voice came out softly, she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse, the sound insulation of the dark room was excellent, if it weren't for the movement like slamming the door, it would be difficult to alarm the guards outside, but Ran Qiunian still subconsciously lowered her voice.
It was Xiao Yin who came to save her, Ran Qiu thought about it, and also stood up from the bamboo couch, looking up at Xiao Yin, the restlessness that was originally born from the silence and darkness of the dark room completely disappeared the moment she saw the figure in the moonlight.
Xiao Yin jumped down lightly from above, wrapped around Ran Qiunian, who was a little pale, stroked her hair and whispered, "I'm late." ”
"Brother Yin, how did you know I was here?" Ran Qiunian sniffed the reassuring familiar breath on the tip of her nose, closed her eyes, and whispered.
"Someone secretly sent me a message." Speaking of this, Xiao Yin also felt strange, he thought it was a trap, but it was about Ran Qiunian, even if he knew that it was a trap, he would come to break in, but that person didn't lie to him.
"It's too late to say this, I heard that they will send you away tomorrow with a group of well-trained men and women, we must leave tonight, it will be too late to be late."
Xiao Yin finished speaking in a low voice and went up to the roof again, Ran Qiunian only waited for a moment, and the door that had been locked from the outside was opened.
Ran Qiunian went out from the door, and saw that the original guards were all lying on the ground, and they didn't know what to do. After Xiao Yin opened the door of the dark room, he pulled Ran Qiunian out.
The terrain of the cottage is very complicated, and the guards are extremely strict, if there is no route drawn inside, they are afraid of difficulties when they first come and want to get out smoothly.
But the person who quietly delivered the news to Xiao Yin kindly attached a road map, which could bypass most of the sentry posts. It is not easy to get such a detailed road map, and the person behind the news must be in a high position in the stockade.
But why should such a person help them escape? Xiao Yin didn't care about thinking about this, and the top priority was to take Ran Qiunian out of the cottage safely.
When Xiao Que walked to the door of the dark room with the dinner prepared for Ran Qiunian, she saw the guards who fell to the ground at a glance, her face changed, she hurriedly lost the food box in her hand, and hurriedly pushed the door open.
The dark room was long empty.
Not good, people ran away! Xiao Que reflexively ran to Mr. Qing's yard, reporting to the sentry she met along the way, her eyes were full of distorted pleasure, and now, Peach Girl is going to be unlucky!
Just when the two of them walked to the entrance of the village without danger and were about to completely get out of the cottage, there was a sudden noise everywhere, and Ran Qiunian's escape was discovered.
"Let's go." Xiao Yin grabbed Ran Qiunian, picked up the light skill, and quickly swept towards a dense forest outside the cottage.
It's a pity that it was too late, and in less than a moment, mountain bandits with sharp knives came from all sides, surrounding Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin in the middle.
