Chapter 173: Who Are You?

The girl is a smart person, I really can't help the girl as an old woman, so don't embarrass me. β€œ

The old woman slowly left with the basket on her back.

After standing up, Shen Bai found that one of her legs was lame, and when she walked, one leg was dragging on the ground, and her body was a little staggering, and she didn't know if she had a child under her knees, and if she could take care of her.

Shen Bai stood in place with the flower for a while, until the figure of the old woman disappeared into the corner of the street, and then took Gu Sangu and Si back.

On the way, Gu San couldn't help but ask Shen Bai: "That old woman looks very ordinary, how could the young lady think that there is something wrong with her?" β€œ

Shen Bai said lightly: "There are a lot of merchants coming and going in this town, and I sat by the window this afternoon and found that many caravans would have such a cluster of flowers hanging on the front car. β€œ

In Zhaoling, the head and tail cars of the caravan are generally the most powerful people in the caravan are responsible, in case of emergencies, the head car can deal with it at the first time, and the tail car can also appease the people of the caravan as much as possible, so as to avoid huge losses caused by chaos.

People who do business around will believe in the ghosts and gods, the last Wei family was revitalized, and all the caravans would hang a bronze bell on the carriage, which was recited and prayed by the monks who Wei Ruzhao put in the Yunshan Temple, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.

Although the folk customs of Nanxiang and Zhaoling are different, they should be the same in this regard.

These caravans do not hang anything to ward off evil spirits. It's a bit strange to hang only a cluster of flowers.

That's why Shen Bai walked in front of the old woman and wanted to ask her about something.

However, people are reluctant to say it, and Shen Bai can't be reluctant.

When Shen Bai returned to the post station, it was already dark, because something happened during the day, Zhou Jue had lanterns added at night to illuminate everywhere, and he also sent additional people to patrol the roof, and he personally guarded the door of Wei Ruzhao's house.

Wei Ruzhao drank the medicine and didn't wake up until he fell asleep, his body was still hot, and Cha Bai kept watch by the bed.

Shen Bai asked people to find a vase and put the cluster of flowers in Wei Ruzhao's room.

The fresh and strange fragrance of flowers quickly spread in the room, the tea white eyes were red, and he was very worried about Wei Ruzhao, but he didn't dare to show too much, so he suppressed his emotions and asked curiously: "Miss, what kind of flower is this?" β€œ

Shen Bai said casually: "I don't know what it is, I just think it smells good, so I want to take it to my uncle to smell it, maybe he will be fine tomorrow." β€œ

The flower is four-petaled, the fragrance of the flower is fresh and pleasant, and the tea white has taken another look. Guilt welled up in his heart, and he bowed his head and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of my son." β€œ

During the day, she should have told Shen Bai and them that Wei Ruzhao was unwell, and then asked someone to find a doctor, she was too anxious at that time, and after she left, Wei Ruzhao was alone in the room, which was really dangerous.

Zhou Jue was still standing outside, and Shen Bai said casually: "What are you guilty of." The one out there is bigger than you. β€œ

Cha Bai is just a weak woman, and it is not her duty to protect Wei Ruzhao, so she doesn't need to put this pot on her head.

Seeing that her eyes were a little swollen, Shen Bai softened his voice again and said gently: "There are still many things to do, you can rest well when the hour is not early, if you get sick, no one can take care of you." β€œ

Cha Bai nodded in response.

Shen Bai went out, patted Zhou Jue's shoulder, and went to Murong Xuan's room to hang around.

Murong Xuan slept comfortably in the afternoon, and was in good spirits after dinner. Thinking about going home, he was a little excited, and pulled Shen Bai and said for a while that he didn't have anything before letting Shen Bai leave.

Finally returned to his room, Gu Sangu Si had already filled the entire bath bucket with water, Shen Bai plugged in the doors and windows, and then took off his clothes and took a bath.

It was still hot at night, and after sitting in the bathtub, Shen Bai's nerves relaxed a little, but after Wei Ruzhao's incident, Shen Bai was very vigilant.

Who knows if the flower thief only likes men or if he eats both sexes?

Shen Bai didn't dare to soak for a long time, and quickly washed and changed his clothes.

Gu San came in to help her pour water. Gu Si comforted: "Don't worry, young lady, with us guarding, it will be fine." β€œ

The two of them have been taking care of Gu Hengzhou by their side, not only have a calm temperament, but also have a very careful heart, Shen Bai didn't say anything, they could all sense her uneasiness.

Shen Bai nodded, and his heart was moved.

In the previous life, Gu Hengzhou got married, and Shen Bai sent a rich congratulatory gift, and as a return gift, Gu Hengzhou gave Gu San and Gu Si to her.

At that time, Gu Hengzhou's reason was that the Su family gave Su Xiaoqiu a lot of maids to dowry, Su Xiaoqiu was introverted and didn't like to come into contact with strange men, so it was not very convenient for Gu to stay in the main courtyard again.

It's actually not appropriate to say that it is send, Gu Hengzhou and Gu Sangu Si grew up together, they are like brothers, he is always in the barracks, he has no time to help Gu Sangu Si find a good way out, and entrusts them to Shen Bai, but also wants Shen Bai to find them a good errand, so as not to waste their skills.

Shen Bai originally wanted to recommend Gu Sangu to go to Dali Temple on an errand. It's a pity that Gu Hengzhou died soon after, and her letter of recommendation had not yet been delivered to the Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple, and she also died under the blazing knife.

Xu has been separated from Gu Hengzhou for a long time, and Shen Bai can't help but think back to the events of his previous life these days.

Not wanting to indulge in the past forever, Shen Bai walked to the table, grinded and began to write a letter to Gu Hengzhou.

The day before he set off from Hanjing, Shen Bai wrote a letter to Gu Hengzhou, and then he wrote it every ten days on the road.

How can it take a month for the letter to be delivered to Muzhou, with Gu Hengzhou's temperament, most of them will not reply to the letter, but Shen Bai is still very interested in writing.

The content of the letter is nothing special, generally what scenery has been seen along the way, what things have been eaten, today Shen Bai ate a lot of novel fruits, she didn't control it for a while, she wrote three pages of paper, folded it and put it in an envelope for Gu San to take to find the messenger, Shen Bai then lay down on the bed to rest.

She thought that if something like this happened today, she would definitely not be able to sleep, but she didn't expect that not long after lying down, her brain would become chaotic and unconscious.

However, Shen Bai didn't sleep soundly, he felt that the bed under him was gone, and the whole person was hanging in the air, I don't know how long it took, and finally stepped on the ground, but there was still a sense of unreality.

There was always a fog in front of her, Shen Bai couldn't see anything clearly, and after standing in place for a while, she heard the crisp and familiar sound of bells.

Listening carefully, Shen Bai recognized that this was the bell hanging on the carriage of the previous Wei family's caravan.

Shen Bai faintly realized that she was dreaming, but it was very strange to dream of the carriage of the Wei family's caravan, and she unconsciously followed the voice.

However, the voice had been not far away from her, and no matter how she walked, she couldn't walk in front of the voice. And his eyes couldn't see things clearly, and it didn't take long for Shen Bai to be a little impetuous.

What kind of messy dreams is this?

Shen Bai wanted to stop and not leave, but the bell suddenly became louder and more piercing, and it was even mixed with a beautiful Sanskrit sound, as if there were many people chanting in the Buddhist hall, and Shen Bai, a lonely soul and wild ghost, was suddenly suppressed by the Buddha's light, and he was a little out of breath.

It's uncomfortable.

Shen Bai covered his chest and could only continue to walk in the direction where the bell came from, but just after taking a few steps, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

It was obviously in a dream, but Shen Bai clearly felt the hot temperature of the man's palm.

His heart was burned and trembled, the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, the surrounding scenery became clear, Shen Bai found that he was at the door of the inn where he had sat during the day, and it was night in his dream, and the whole city was quietly empty, only a round of bright full moon hung in the sky.

Turning his head, Shen Bai saw that he was holding a man wearing a black cloak, obviously the distance between the two was very close, but the hat blocked all the light, so that Shen Bai couldn't see his face clearly.

Shen Bai suddenly remembered the person she had inadvertently seen in the carriage when she was summoned by Emperor Hengde that day, when the sky changed drastically.

The man was wearing a black cloak like this.

"I've seen you." Shen Bai blurted out, "That day in Hanjing, it rained hail. β€œ

The man didn't speak, and pulled Shen Bai back.

As soon as he took a step, the bell rang loudly, and the sharp sound waves all smashed into Shen Bai's ears, giving Shen Bai the illusion that he would be deafened in the next second.

"It's noisy!"

Shen Bai subconsciously covered her ears with her hands, but to no avail, those voices kept drilling into her head, shaking her brain. His brows furrowed in pain.

The man didn't stop, and continued to pull Shen Bai forward, Shen Bai's legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, and his internal organs were painful because of the louder and louder sounds, and he gasped and said, "I'm going to die, don't pull me." β€œ

The man paused, bent down and picked up Shen Bai.

His arms are strong and powerful, and his chest is also very broad, obviously he has only seen it for the second time, but it makes Shen Bai feel very relieved.

After he picked up Shen Bai, his speed was much faster. A few blinks of an eye were outside the inn.

The post station was also quiet everywhere, the Praetorian Guards and Zhou Jue were not there, only a few lanterns hung on it.

Shen Bai felt weird, and the scene of this dream was too realistic.

The man was holding Shen Bai and wanted to enter the post station, there was still a distance of ten or so steps, a burning smell poured into the tip of Shen Bai's nose, the man held her and retreated, Shen Bai turned his head, and saw that the edge of his cloak and hat was burned off a little, and the skin on his hands was also burned, and the wound looked very hideous.

But?? Where did the fire come from?

Shen Bai was puzzled. I looked at my hands, but there was still nothing to do.

The man took two deep breaths and walked forward again with Shen Bai in his arms.

This time, he walked very slowly with each step, and the further he went, the stronger the burning smell became, and after a while, Shen Bai even felt that he smelled the smell of barbecue.

The man's cloak had been completely burned off, revealing a pure black garment with dark red threads embroidered with strange runes.

The dress seems to be characteristic, and it hasn't been burned, but the dark lines are constantly surging with luster. Inexplicably, it is very similar to the gorgeous dress that Shen Bai wore when he saw Hanchen before.

After the cloak was burned, the man's face was still not revealed, because he wore a mask on his face.

This mask Shen Bai also knew, it was the one she wore on Hanchen's face when she saw Hanchen for the first time in Donghengguo.

It is said that it is the sad and joyful side that has been passed down from generation to generation by the high priest of Donghengguo, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and has not been damaged, but it was broken for the first time when he saw Shen Bai.

However, now, it appeared in Shen Baimeng's dream again, on this strange man in a black cloak.

The ringing in his ears gradually became smaller, as if it came from an extremely remote and empty place, and it became less real when it fell into Shen Bai's ears.

She was sure that this person with a sad and joyful face was not Hanchen. I couldn't help but want to take off the mask to see what this person looked like, but as soon as I raised my hand to touch the mask, the person's hair crackled and burned.

The fever was very fast, Shen Bai was so frightened that he retracted his hand, and when he looked back, he was still seven or eight steps away from the gate of the post station.

Is this man desperate to send her to the station?

But this is her dream, why let others die for her?

Moreover, she doesn't even know this person, why?? He's going to die for her?

As soon as this thought came to him, Shen Bai's chest suddenly became painful, as if he had suddenly been hit by a boulder. Between breaths, the sternum began to ache.

The pain is so intense and clear, is it really just a dream?

If it weren't for the dream, was the person holding her really enduring the pain of being burned by the fire and wanted to send her back to the station?

Shen Bai didn't dare to think about it, and struggled to say to the man, "Let me go." β€œ

The man didn't say anything or stop, but his hair was about to burn.

"I'll let you let me down!"

Shen Bai roared angrily, and finally broke free from that person.

The man was pushed away by her and fell to the ground, and Shen Bai saw that his exposed arms and legs were burned to varying degrees, and his flesh was flying.

And after leaving his embrace, the bell suddenly became louder again, and it exploded in Shen Bai's ears like thunder, shaking Shen Bai's eardrums almost to shatter.

Shen Bai gritted his teeth and endured, grabbed the man's hand and dragged him outside the post station.

More than ten steps away from the post station, the crackling burning sound stopped, Shen Bai sat on the man, stretched out his hand to pull the sad and joyful face on his face, only to find that he did not use a rope to fix the mask, the mask had already merged with his face.

Shen Bai chuckled in his heart and blurted out: "Who are you?" β€œ

The man didn't answer, and slowly raised his hand, as if to touch Shen Bai's face.

The feeling of heartache became more and more intense, Shen Bai grabbed the man's collar, trying to find some clues from him, the back of his neck suddenly hurt, and his consciousness completely fell into darkness.

Shen Bai slept for a long time this night, and when she woke up, the sky outside was already flourishing, and she didn't know if Gu Sangu had urged her to get up before.

Staring at the bed tent for a while, Shen Bai remembered the strange dream last night, she subconsciously rubbed her neck, her neck was fine, there was no soreness at all, and there was nothing wrong with her ears.

Is it really just a dream?

Shen Bai was dazed, and sat up with his body propped up. But I felt very tired, as if I hadn't slept at all.

I got up and walked out of the room, the sun had risen very high, and it should be past midday, and it was almost noon.

A little hungry, Gu San was guarding outside, and when he saw her, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked worriedly, "Didn't the young lady sleep well last night?" β€œ

Her face was not good, her lips were a little pale, and her eye sockets were blue.

When Gu San asked, Shen Bai didn't need to look in the mirror to know how bad his face was, waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay, it's just a nightmare, leave me food?" β€œ

Gu San immediately replied: "Stay, there is mung bean porridge in the kitchen, which is calmed with well water, and it is boiled by the tea white girl herself, clearing the heat and relieving the heat." β€œ

Shen Bai bowed his head and walked to the kitchen with his hands behind his back, there was no Mama Ye looking at it at this time, even if she was wearing women's clothes, she was very casual.

Maybe last night's dream turned out to be too real. Shen Bai kept repeating the sad and joyful face and the man's burned arm in his mind.

He was also absent-minded when eating, Shen Bai accidentally bit his tongue, and tasted blood in his mouth, Shen Bai became impetuous, and hurriedly finished drinking a bowl of porridge to find Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue was still in Wei Ruzhao's room, slept all night, Wei Ruzhao woke up much better, Cha Bai waited for him to change into a lake blue brocade clothes, when Shen Bai entered the house, he was playing with the Buddha beads and closed his eyes to recuperate, Zhou Jue sat next to him and stared at him. It's like looking at fragile antiques.

Cha Bai saluted Shen Baifu, Shen Bai's head was in response, and when he raised his eyes to see that the flowers on the table were gone, he asked, "Where are the flowers?" β€œ

Chabai immediately said: "I thanked the flowers early this morning, and the slave saw that it was useless and took it out and threw it away." β€œ

That flower looked very good yesterday, and it was still soaked in water, and it was thanked for one night?

Shen Bai was a little strange, but he didn't ask too much, walked up to Wei Ruzhao, and saluted: "Greetings to uncle, how does uncle feel today?" Still uncomfortable? The doctor is still living at the inn. If your uncle is still unwell, you can ask the doctor to come and see it immediately. β€œ

Wei Ruzhao cherished the words like gold, and only replied to Shen Bai with two words: "No hindrance." β€œ

His face had returned to normal, and his skin had taken on an unsympathetic cold pale because of the fact that his expression was a little cold.

The summer shirt was thin, but now his collar was folded, covering his neck tightly, and the marks on his neck could not be seen.

Shen Bai pretended not to care and glanced at Wei Ruzhao's neck, quickly looked away, and Wei Ruzhao suddenly opened his mouth and ordered: "You go out first, I'll talk to Shen Bai about something." β€œ

Zhou Jue and Cha Bai immediately walked out, the door closed, and Shen Bai asked curiously, "Does Uncle have any instructions?" β€œ

Wei Ruzhao stopped turning the Buddha beads, lifted his eyes and looked at Shen Bai fixedly, and asked instead of answering: "Didn't you have something to find me yesterday?" β€œ

Hey? I still remember what happened yesterday.

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, gathered his thoughts, walked up to Wei Ruzhao and said: "That's the case, yesterday I walked around this town, and I found that there are a lot of melons and fruits in Nanxiangguo, and the taste is good, but these things are not easy to preserve, and they are not conducive to transportation." It can only be given to His Majesty as a rarity to try, but the spices on their side seem to be a little peculiar, and I wonder if I can sell these spices to Zhaoling. β€œ

Although there are some hiccupes, business is still very important.

Shen Bai finished speaking seriously, but Wei Ruzhao didn't answer, and his eyes were a little dazed when he looked at Shen Bai, as if he saw someone else through her.

Shen Bai stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Wei Ruzhao, and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" β€œ

Wei Ruzhao came back to his senses, stared at Shen Bai and asked, "You came to my room yesterday, did you see anyone?" β€œ

Well??? What does that mean?

Shen Bai was a little surprised, and asked tentatively, "Uncle still remembers what happened yesterday?" β€œ

As soon as these words came out, Wei Ruzhao's face became a little ugly.

After coming back yesterday, his body was very uncomfortable, and he didn't hear what Cha Bai said in his ear very clearly, and he felt a little better when he was helped by Cha Bai to sit in the bathtub in a daze.

After Cha Bai left, he was a little drowsy, but at this time, he suddenly felt a hand roaming over him.

He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't open them, but he felt that the hand was quite flexible and soft, reaching into the water, sticking to his skin, and kneading it little by little.

In Yunshan Temple for so many years, he has been alone, and he has never been so close to anyone again, and the precepts and rules that he usually memorizes instantly came to his heart, but he couldn't even open his mouth, let alone open his mouth to scold.

The hand was just walking around his arm at first, but it didn't take long for it to go down his chest, and he felt a soft breath around his neck.

At that time, he was angry and uncomfortable, his mind was confused, but he couldn't remember whether there was a fragrance or not, only that his breath was unusually cool. It seems to be more comfortable than the cold water that wraps him, and people can't help but want to get closer.

The coolness made him ignore the messy hand on his body, and then he felt his Adam's apple being gently licked and bitten.

At that moment, his consciousness became quite clear, and he could even trace the neatly arranged teeth of the other party in his mind.

After ten years of cultivation, the precepts and rules that were almost engraved into his bones were destroyed in that instant, and the primitive instinct in his bones was called out.

Wei Ruzhao felt that he snorted softly, and then there was a knock on the door, and there was a very low chuckle in his ear, and the man whispered in his ear charmingly: "Fake monk, someone is looking for you, now you can't tell." β€œ

He has not been in contact with many women, and he used to think that the women in the whole world are less than one-ten-thousandth of the eldest sister who has been deceased for many years, but this woman's voice is charming to the bones, which makes people's hearts itch when they hear it.

Then Wei Ruzhao felt that his collarbone was sucked hard, Shen Bai kicked the door and came in, this time it seemed to break some barrier, and Wei Ruzhao finally opened his eyes.

There was no one around him, the room was empty, Shen Bai glanced at him and turned his back, and then Chabai came back with the doctor. Consciousness is in chaos again.

Wei Ruzhao thought it was just a dream he had, but this morning, when Cha Bai was waiting for him to change his clothes, he saw the mark on his collarbone in the bronze mirror.

After a day, the mark had turned from pink to a little purple.

silently reminded him that nothing was a dream, it was a real thing.

At this moment, being looked at by Shen Bai's clear eyes, Wei Ruzhao suddenly felt a deep sin, in the past ten years, more than three thousand days and nights, those scriptures he had copied could not withstand that charming bewitchment.

Wei Ruzhao frowned and said in a deep voice: "I don't remember, but I saw a mark on my neck." β€œ

His expression was cold, and he fiddled with the Buddha beads in his hand again, but his movements were not as calm as usual, but two more points of panic.

Shen Bai was careful, he could see it at a glance, thought about it and said: "Since my uncle saw the mark on his neck, he should understand that this person is definitely not a human being, otherwise she would not have been able to break through the heavy defenses of the post station and do bad things to her uncle unknowingly." β€œ

Wei Ruzhao's eyebrows furrowed even more, and Shen Bai continued: "She is just stealing incense and stealing jade this time, if she is greedy for her uncle's body next time, this matter will not be easy to explain." β€œ

Shen Bai said bluntly, touching Wei Ruzhao's scales, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Presumptuous! β€œ
