Chapter 719: Absent-minded
After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Qin Miaoyin again, and then bent down to help the injured person up and walked out.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and when Ye Jinyu and the three of them walked out of Cardamom Village not far away, they saw a little phosphorescent light flashing on the ground and branches and leaves in the southeast.
They searched all the way and found a bright fire in a col seven miles away.
Ye Jinyu raised his eyebrows, thinking that the hearts of these bandits are really big, hiding in such a place but lighting so many torches, for fear that others will not be able to find them?
The three of them put away their mounts and walked into the mountains on foot, Qin Miaoyin looked at the surrounding wilderness, and hugged Ye Jinyu's arm tightly in fright.
"Don't be afraid, follow me." Ye Jinyu patted her head softly and smiled softly at her.
Li Sui turned around and saw this scene, and the feeling in his heart instantly became very complicated, and he turned his head vigorously and continued to walk forward.
The foot of the mountain was not far from the col, and they did not meet any secret whistles or anything along the way, and when they were only a few feet away from their destination, they noticed that there were some unusual figures in the village.
Li Sui immediately stopped, stretched out his arms to stop Ye Jinyu and Qin Miaoyin, and was about to speak, but saw two people walking out of the village. When I looked closely, it was Li Song and Yun Xiang.
"Master Li, Miss Yun!" Ye Jinyu looked at them in surprise, seeing that Yun Xiang was limping when he walked, and he had to rely on Li Song's support to move forward, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Miss Yun, what's wrong with your leg?" ”
Yun Xiang also looked at them in surprise, and said with a wry smile: "I accidentally stumbled when resisting those bandits. ”
"Miaoyin, you can help Miss Yun take a look." Ye Jinyu pulled Qin Miaoyin over and held Yun Xiang with his hand, but he felt Yun Xiang's arm sinking, as if he had kicked Li Song's sleeve, and then immediately let go.
Ye Jinyu saw unnaturally shyness and reluctance flashing in her eyes in a blink of an eye, but it was soon blocked by the drooping curtains.
Ye Jinyu pursed her lips, it turned out that her parents' love started from a hero saving beauty? Tsk, it's really the most vulgar but tried and tested routine.
On this side, Qin Miaoyin was helping Yun Xiang heal his injuries, and on the other side, Li Songtong explained the cause and effect with Li Yi. It turned out that the government had noticed this stockade that appeared out of thin air for a long time, but they appeared too rarely, and the government did not have many clues, so they never found the nest.
Today is also a coincidence, the people in the village robbed Yunxiang, and they were discovered by the arrester who had been following the matter for a long time, and traced them all the way to find out the location of their lair, and then went back to inform the brothers to come to suppress the bandits.
"How did you find out about this?" Li Song arched his hand and asked, suddenly thinking of something, and said, "It should be your friend who sent the signal." ”
Li Sui's eyes flashed, and before he could ask, he saw another person coming out of the village, and it was Qi Guanyu who had not appeared twice.
"Brother Wei."
"Brother Yuyun."
They saluted each other, Ye Jinyu also looked up, and said in surprise: "Cousin, it turns out that you are here, I also said why I didn't meet you these two times." ”
Qi Guanyu turned around and walked over to her, and said with gentle concern: "I heard that you are going home again today, why don't you stay for dinner, are you still very busy in the past few days?" It didn't happen again, did it? ”
Ye Jinyu Wan'er replied: "It's very busy, but it's all bits and pieces......
"Ahem!" Li Sui walked over to interrupt their conversation and asked Qi Guanyu, "What's going on inside?" ”
"The number of people is still being counted, but there are still many women and children in it, all of whom are family members in the village, and it is a little troublesome to deal with." Qi Guan replied.
Li Song also walked over, looked at Qin Miaoyin and asked, "How is Miss Yun's injury?" ”
Qin Miaoyin raised her head and smiled slightly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones, rub some medicine to invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
Li Song nodded reassuringly, and then said to them: "Then bother a few knights to send Miss Yun back to the city first, there are still many things to deal with here, and I will go to see you when I am done." ”
Yun Xiang looked up, not wanting to leave so soon.
It's just that she also understands that staying is a drag, and in the end she obediently followed Ye Jinyu and the others down the mountain first.
It was late at night when they returned to Jinping County, and they casually found an inn that had not yet closed to stay.
On the way, Ye Jinyu had already told Yun Xiang about Si Zhou, but Yun Xiang had no impression of this childhood playmate, only remembered that not long ago, a man wearing a mask wanted to save her. But then she was knocked unconscious, and she didn't know what happened next.
Now that I heard Ye Jinyu say that the man who saved her was safe, I was also relieved.
"Where is he now? I want to thank him in person. Yun Xiang thought about it and asked again.
"In the temple, it's late today, let's go and thank you tomorrow." Ye Jinyu said.
The look on Yun Xiang's face was in a trance for a while, and he barely put away the sadness in his eyes after a moment, "The white girl said that the righteous man was also in Jinping County when he was young?" Could it be that he was also in the ruined temple at that time. ”
Ye Jinyu nodded.
Yun Xiang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "I remember, I remember that when I was a child, there was indeed a little brother around me, who was very good-looking, as if his name was Ah Mang, but he changed his name later." ”
"It should be so." Ye Jinyu hesitated for a moment and added, "Do you know that after you left, there was a fire in the broken temple?" Si Zhou, the Ah Mang brother you mentioned, his face was burned in the fire. 22 Literary Network
Yun Xiang had a sympathetic and pitiful expression on his face, and sighed: "No wonder the man I saw before was wearing a mask, I didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet because of this kind of thing." ”
"Miss Yun, I've seen your adoptive mother before." Ye Jinyu smiled slightly and changed the topic.
"My mother? How could the girl? Yun Xiang looked at her in surprise.
"Actually, Mrs. Yun still cares about you very much, she came to Jinping County in person, and even sent someone to the temple to make incense for your biological mother......
"White girl, what are you talking about? Go to the temple to incense my mother? But my mother wasn't buried there. Yun Xiang twisted his eyebrows.
A look of surprise flashed in Ye Jinyu's eyes, and he asked, "Miss Yun doesn't know that your mother's tablet is enshrined in the Hall of Merit of the Bufu Temple?" ”
Yun Xiang shook his head in shock, "This, what's going on?" ”
Ye Jinyu seemed to understand that Xiang Fu might not know about Yun Xiang's existence, and the Yun family didn't tell her about it in order not to let Yun Xiang get too attached to her past.
"Here's the thing......"
Yun Xiang listened intently to Ye Jinyu's account of her parents' past, as well as the things she couldn't guess over the years, and her heart was not just shocked, but deeply shocked.
"So...... No one knows whether my biological father is alive or dead now? Yun Xiang's voice trembled.
Ye Jinyu took pity on her life experience, seeing her show such a sad expression, it may also be because of the blood connection, Ye Jinyu felt very uncomfortable.
"Miss Yun, your grandfather's house is here, if you want to know more about your biological mother, this is your chance."
Yun Xiang bit his lip, his fingers unconsciously picked at the tabletop, and he struggled for a long time before he finally made up his mind.
"After listening to the words of the white girl, I realized that my mother was not feeling good in her heart, because my existence made her unjustifiable, and she should blame me. But it is true that she has not treated me harshly over the years, and if I change places, I may not be able to have her tolerance. ”
Yun Xiang's eyes turned red as he spoke, rubbed his sour nose, and continued: "Maybe my mother and I can't get along like a biological mother and daughter in this life, but at least the Yun family still makes me feel very kind. The fact that Xiang Fu was able to set up a tablet for my biological mother at the place where she passed away shows that they have been paying attention to my biological mother's situation, and how could they not know about my existence. ”
When Ye Jinyu heard this, he guessed Yun Xiang's decision.
"For so many years, they haven't thought about recognizing me, they must not want to have anything to do with me, so why should I bother to be bored." Yun Xiang sniffed and said with a wry smile: "In short, I am living well without them, and now that I understand my mother's situation, I suddenly feel that my previous life was also very happy, and I still want to stay with them." ”
Ye Jinyu suddenly found that his tears seemed to be lower, and his nose was sore and wanted to cry inexplicably, but he woke up from a dream in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day to send Yunqing to Qi's house to study, and when the sky was just shining, they got into the carriage and set off.
The Qi family's private school was located behind the Qi Mansion, and a piece of land was deliberately vacated to build a school, with a verandah in the middle connected to the back door of the Qi Mansion.
When they arrived, Qi Mingyi and Qi Rong stood at the door of the school with their maidservants and waiting.
"Cousin!" Qi Mingyi happily beckoned to Ye Jinyu, and when she got closer, she remembered to salute, and Ye Jinyu touched her little head lovingly.
Qi Rong also saluted Ye Jinyu in a proper manner, but he seemed to deliberately stay away from her, thinking of the scene where he was teased by Ye Jinyu last time, he was still awkward in his heart.
However, when facing Yun Qing, Qi Rong's face finally showed a little joy that a child should have, the two of them were the same age, no wonder they could play together.
There is a rule in the school that no one is allowed to enter at will except for students.
They stood outside the door for a few words, seeing that it was about to be the start of class, Ling Zhao told Yun Qing, "Don't run around when you get out of the school, wait for the master to come and pick you up." He left with Ye Jinyu.
On the way back, she had been absent-minded, Ye Jinyu couldn't help but joke: "You don't look like a master now, but like a mother, Yunqing just went to school, and your expression made it look like you sent him to the battlefield." ”
Ling Zhaoyi frowned, and also realized that his expression was too "hideous", so he immediately cleaned up, looked at his own girl and said, "When the girl has her own child in the future, she will understand." ”
Ye Jinyu suddenly had black lines on his head, and he felt that he was being teased. Hey, it's still funny, it's easy to be shy and easy to blow up.
Speaking of the child, Ling Zhao suddenly thought of yesterday's incident again, the girl locked herself up and didn't even eat dinner, and she didn't see anyone until this morning.
Just looking at her expression as if nothing had happened, it's really hard to guess.
"Girl, have you reconciled with Master Hou?"
The smile on Ye Jinyu's face suddenly froze, and it took a while before he eased up, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I didn't quarrel with Master Hou, what kind of reconciliation is not good." ”
"Really? But you ...... yesterday"
"I was scared by Miss Ye's incident yesterday, but I didn't expect that the woman in the backyard could also give it away, so I couldn't accept it." Ye Jinyu intercepted her words, smiled and said: "But it's okay to calm down overnight, Miss Ye is beautiful, and King An is powerful, the two things collided together, and the Hou Ye didn't want to send it." ”
Ling Zhaohu observed the expression on her face suspiciously, and always felt that the smile on the girl's face was very strange, and her voice seemed to be a little nervous.
"Girl, in fact, you don't have to face those gossips unexpectedly, you know best how Master Hou is, you just need to believe him."
Ye Jinyu nodded, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, unwilling to continue the topic.
