Chapter 10 (10)
I don't know when I started feeling hot, but even when I'm asleep, I unconsciously approach the cooler.
Originally, his body was much warmer than hers, but for some reason her body suddenly became strangely warm, and her head was also very painful and heavy, because she was uncomfortable, so she wanted to wake up, but she couldn't wake up because of the discomfort.
"Qiao'er, Qiao'er."
He was so gentle and eager that he didn't know how many times, and even forcibly changed her consciousness with his true qi, before she reluctantly opened her eyes.
The vision was dark, and she struggled to wake up, only to see his silhouette in the dark. His hand caressed her hot cheek, and it was so cold that she couldn't help but hold it closer to his palm in intoxication.
"Qiao'er, you're having a fever." Seeing that she was conscious, he said softly, "Don't sleep yet, it's like there are people on duty at night, and you can also prepare medicine for typhoid fever at any time, I'll go get some back, can you drink it obediently and then sleep?" ”
Yuexi Bridge subconsciously wanted to nod, but in time he thought of something more important, shook his head away from his hand, and rubbed it on the pillow uncomfortably: "...... What time is it? ”
Fu Xijing was silent for a moment before replying, "It's almost time for Zizheng." ”
Zizheng? Zizheng, it seems......
Remembering the time she had agreed with Su Huan, she sat up abruptly in fright, and almost lay back because of a headache. Fu Xijing also got up, grabbed her shoulders and said, "Qiao'er, okay if you don't leave?" ”
"No, if you don't leave tonight, who knows what accidents will happen tomorrow night." Her voice was much hoarse, and it was tingling, and the whole person was still dizzy, but she still endured, "His people won't wait for me for long, but I still have time to go out now." ”
Yue Xiqiao raised his arm and wanted to break the hand he put on his shoulder, but he couldn't break it, so he wanted to cry very much, and raised his face sadly and shouted at him: "You let go of me, let me go!" ”
"Don't go, Qiao'er, come back with me." Fu Xijing immediately hugged her, and it didn't take much effort to make her motionless, "I won't do anything that might hurt you, and I will explain to you well what happened before." There are too many misunderstandings between us, but these are avoidable. ”
Yue Xiqiao felt that his brain really couldn't turn, but his heart hurt instinctively, and he realized that he wanted to agree.
But she still refused coldly: "I don't, you let go." Then he began to twist his body and struggle, wanting to cry but couldn't shed tears, and he felt even more aggrieved: "You let go, don't bully me anymore." Why don't you let me go back to Jingxuan, why do you want to restrict my life, get out. ”
He curled his ten fingers against her back, pursed his lower lip fiercely, let go of her stiffly, and moved sideways.
Yuexi Bridge seemed to pounce in the air, leaning forward unsteadily, and propping his hands on the edge of the bed. She was quiet again, shook her head, no longer felt his breath, and got out of bed.
The socks were very thin, and she could clearly feel the coolness when her feet touched the bottoms, and she was stimulated to be more sober, calm, and completely stood up.
Without hesitation, she got up and immediately walked forward, but Fu Xijing, who was sitting on the bed, frowned, raised her hand, and used her true qi to pull her back who had already walked to the center of the room.
"Put on your shoes."
Before she could realize that he was in his arms and continued to shout, he said this, holding her waist with one hand, leaning down, picking up one of her boots with the other, letting go and lifting her calf to help her put it on.
When the other one was also dressed, Yue Xiqiao consciously touched his hand on her waist, closed his eyes and did not speak, and stood up again.
Presumably because he lost some true qi for her, her strength recovered, and this time she went very smoothly. She opened the door, moved herself softly behind it, closed it again without hesitation, and exhaled with her back against it.
In case of a fire, there are no candles burning in the space outside the guest room, so it is pitch black until dawn. I couldn't see anything at the Yuexi Bridge, let alone feel that anyone was there, so I could only take two steps forward tentatively.
Indeed, after only two steps, a low male voice came from not far on the right hand: "Miss Yue? "Obviously not Su Huan's voice.
"It's me." She said, walking forward again, "Is it the owner of the Sukan?" ”
The man breathed a sigh of relief: "In Xia Minghe, the master of the pavilion ordered me to come and pick up the girl tonight." As he spoke, he lit the short candle on the candlestick in his hand, reflecting his own face and hers, and he couldn't help but gasp.
On such a dark night, putting the light source next to your face actually looks a little scary.
Yue Xiqiao blinked his eyes and smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, hard work." ”
Minghe came back to his senses, shrunk his shoulders and hung his head: "Please follow closely behind the girl, and you will walk slower in the next." Before he could finish speaking, he turned around, and the candlestick illuminated the staircase not far ahead.
Yuexiqiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped him: "Do you want to leave Xingru now?" He took a deep breath: "I'm sorry for the trouble, I have a fever, and if I don't take medicine in time, it may be difficult to stay awake." ”
The steps he was about to take were retracted, and Minghe turned his head to look at her: "Miss Yue is sick?" It was so dark that it was not easy to see her complexion clearly, so he thought for a while and said: "There is a curfew at night, and the owner of the pavilion means to send the girl away tomorrow during the day." Take the girl to the room prepared by the owner for the girl to rest, since the girl is sick, after sending the girl to a safe place, I will get some medicine for the girl. ”
Yuexi Bridge nodded weakly: "So, thank you, Your Excellency." ”
Minghe took her to the fifth floor, where insiders live. Xu Huan arranged a spacious and clean suite for her, and after entering the house, Minghe lit all the candles and asked her to sit for a while, take the medicine and then sleep.
After drinking the medicine, she became even more sleepy, and wanted to wait to see Xu Huan again, but was told by Minghe that Xu Huan would not see her tonight. Also, she didn't go to the appointment last night, how could someone who is so busy with Xu Huan waste three nights waiting for her.
What made her a little strange was that Minghe didn't ask her anything, and he didn't even confirm whether he had done anything about those demons, as if he was sure of something.
In any case, what they were sure of would not be trust in her, she knew that.
Minghe didn't say when she would leave tomorrow or what she needed to prepare, but told her to go to bed early, put out half of the candle and leave. In this way, she stopped holding on, took off her coat and shoes, curled up on the bed, covered the quilt and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was past the end of the day, and the heat seemed to have subsided, but my body was still heavy, and my head and throat were still aching. No one had called her before, but not long after she woke up, there was a knock at the door.
This time it was Xu Huan, and she asked him to wait a while, and after getting dressed and shoes, she went to open the door herself. Xu is that she is too sick, her eyes are also dizzy, and she always feels that Xu Huan looks a lot haggard.
After a few polite words, Xu Huan asked about her physical condition, and asked someone to send another pair of medicines. After Yuexiqiao drank the medicine, he said that it was all right, and the most important thing now was to return to Shuijingxuan, and he couldn't trouble them anymore.
Xu Huan said: "There are few people on the street at noon, it is safer than at night, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion. ”
Yue Xiqiao hurriedly nodded: "I don't have a problem, it's just that the owner of the hall is bothered to be thoughtful." ”
Xu Huan looked at her, and showed a wry smile without knowing the fate: "Maybe I will be ashamed of the girl's trust in the future." ”
……
A person is accustomed to being polite, and occasionally telling the truth from the heart will also make people think that it is just a polite remark.
Half an hour later, she got into the carriage that had been prepared with him, and walked for a long time, and gradually she lost her sense of security, and when she opened the curtain and looked, she found that she had arrived in the suburbs. Even if she didn't know the way, she knew very well in her heart that this was definitely not the way to return to Jingxuan.
At that time, Yuexi Bridge realized that there was only that sentence, and Xu Huan really didn't talk to her politely.
Lowering her head, she turned her head to look at Xu Huan and did not take the initiative to speak.
I saw him smile bitterly again: "Miss Yue, the daughter under you was arrested." ”
Shock flashed on Yuexi Bridge's originally cold face, and his eyes widened: "Captured? ”
Because Xu Huan and Fu Yiyi are friends, Yue Xiqiao also knows how much he loves his only daughter after losing his wife for many years, and treats it as if it were life. Since it is a fate, it should be well protected, how can it be said that if you are caught, you will be arrested?
Xu Huan closed his eyes in pain, not knowing whether he couldn't bear to face such a cruel truth or couldn't bear to face her, turned his head away, and said in a deep voice: "Baimi also has a mistake, after all, he is just a businessman who runs an inn, and he has no martial arts master's ability, so he can't even protect such a young daughter." ”
Yue Xiqiao looked at him distractedly, until his side face gradually blurred in his eyes, and then he said stiffly: "Is it because of me?" ”
He slowly opened his eyes and didn't look at her: "It was last night that Xu received a letter after he found out that the little girl was missing.
"I don't know...... Who is doing this, I only know that the other party knows very well that the girl is doing it, and a certain intends to send the girl back to Shui Jingxuan, so he arrested the little girl and asked Xu to use the girl Yue in exchange. ”
Yuexiqiao was still sober at this time, and the first thing that came to mind was yesterday's daylight, Fu Xijing's sentence "If they save you for other selfish desires".
The day before yesterday, he took his two subordinates out for a busy day, saying that he had visited the cloth village and silver building in Shangzhou to buy clothes and jewelry for her, but it was not impossible to say that he had made a plan to deal with Xu Huan and hired a martial arts master nearby to capture Xu Huan's daughter.
It's just strange that Xu Huan came to her that day, how did Fu Xijing predict Xu Huan's actions before he knew the prophet?
No...... It's not puzzling, if Fu Xijing knew that Xu Huan and Fu Yiyi were friends, it would not be difficult to guess that Xu Huan wanted to save her. Even if Xu Huan didn't know that she was doing it, their actions would make Xu Huan realize her existence and find her, and then exchange her for her daughter.
As long as Fu Xijing does not move the little girl, it will not be regarded as hurting the Central Plains. Although he did it behind his back, his actions were completed before their gambling contract was established, and it was not considered to have broken the gambling contract.
"......" Yuexiqiao closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth, "Dog man." ”
Xu Huan was shocked, thinking that she was scolding him, so he could only be silent.
The Demon Sect deserves to be called the Demon Sect, if the serious strength can't fight others, it will pit people behind the scenes, and the dog man really had the face to instill in her all kinds of "Central Plains people are the most hypocritical" thoughts, how did he have this face?
Her head began to ache sharply again, and her hand held the carriage for a moment, blinking repeatedly, and turning to Suhuan again.
What selfish desires, what hypocrisy. Xu Huan is just a businessman in the end, he has abandoned his interests and is ready to save her back to Jingxuan, but his daughter was suddenly arrested, or because of her calamity, who would choose to abandon her daughter and save her, an unconscious prostitute?
implicated innocent children, and even more implicated people who wanted to save her, she herself felt that she deserved to die. Even if all this is not Fu Xijing's arrangement, if someone else really finds out that she is hiding in Xingru and wants to get her and uses tricks, she will not feel guilty at all.
Shaking her head slightly, she spoke: "The hall owner doesn't have to blame himself, in the end, all this is because of me, and I can only be blamed if you want to blame." ”
Xu Huan smiled even more helplessly: "The girl is a kind-hearted person, but she shouldn't be arrogant." If the United States becomes the original sin and the victims become the perpetrators, how can there be real fairness and justice in this world. ”
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth slightly: "In this matter, it is because Su Mou can't live with the girl, can't live with the girl's trust, and can't live with the girl's kindness." He didn't explain much, and he didn't ask the girl for forgiveness. Before leaving, a certain person had sent someone to secretly inform Lord Fu Xuan of the matter, and if the girl was lucky, she would be spared. ”
Yuexiqiao couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Those people will definitely monitor your every move, if you notice that you have alarmed Shui Jingxuan, your daughter ......"
"No matter what you do, Su is ashamed to face everyone, the more girl is, and so is the little girl. If the girl and the little girl can be rescued at the same time, it is a blessing for Su. If you can't......" he paused and sighed, "it's fate." ”
Yue Xiqiao bit his lip, turned his head away and stopped looking at him, and could only say: "Running such a big inn, guests come from all over the world, and the owner of the inn is already in the rivers and lakes, so if you don't want to participate in martial arts disputes, you will still be forced to get involved." ”
In addition to sighing, she found that she couldn't do anything: "Good people are rewarded, and the concubine wishes that the owner of the pavilion will be evil to everyone, and that good will benefit all things without fighting." ”
