Qi Niang didn't know how she was rescued after falling off the waterfall that day, but she vaguely remembered that someone did save her and lost a lot of internal strength to herself, but since she returned to White Night City, no one has mentioned to her the person who rescued her. ≌ are deliberately concealing or even avoiding this topic. Jiang Qihan arrived in White Night City the day after she was rescued, he didn't know the extenuating circumstances, but those who watched her being sent back didn't say a word, every time she asked, they all replied that she was found lying at the gate of the city, and the soldiers sent her back, and they didn't know who that person was.

In this regard, Qi Niang always felt that they were hiding something. White Night City was so heavily guarded, with several pairs of eyes staring at the city gate at all times, how could they not have seen the person who sent her to the city gate?

Qi Niang asked a few people but couldn't get an answer, and the matter was over. Now that the war has been decided, Qi Niang heard that Li Wei had been executed for rebellion, and Dongwu had also withdrawn according to the agreement, and the Northern Wilderness had restored peace. Wei Zi'an was worried that Qi Niang would feel bored if she stayed in the room all day to recuperate, so she ordered someone to make a wheelchair for Qi Niang, sometimes Qi Niang wanted to go out for a walk, Jiang Qihan would push her to go around the palace to relax. Jiang Qihan said that when Qi Niang healed from her injuries, he would return to the Central Plains with her. I haven't seen Ning Er for a long time, and Qi Niang misses him a little. Although having Jiang Qihan's company made Qi Niang forget about her injuries for a while, at the same time, Qi Niang's doubts in her heart became more and more intense.

After three months of recuperation, Qi Niang was finally able to walk on her own. One day, Qi Niang got up and didn't see Jiang Qihan's figure, so she went out by herself. With nothing to do, she went to the residential area to see the little boy she had rescued from the Dongwu soldiers last time. After coming to White Night City, Qi Niang asked the boy to be placed in the home of an old couple with no children and no daughters, and I heard that the old couple's lifelong wish was to have a child, and now they have adopted a boy, which can be regarded as a wish.

The old couple's house was near the city gate, and along the way, the residents near the city gate all cast strange glances when they saw Qi Niang, but when Qi Niang looked at those people, everyone tacitly lowered their heads and continued to do their business. Although Qi Niang felt that those people's eyes were evasive and very strange, she didn't think much about it. When she came to the old couple's house, she didn't see the boy, so Qi Niang asked the eldest lady: "Auntie, what about the boy?" Not at home? ”

The couple glanced at each other, their faces flashed with a hint of panic, and replied: "Oh, he went outside to find a friend to play, is there anything wrong with the girl looking for Xiao Gu?" ”

Qi Niang smiled slightly, not noticing their expressions, "Oh, it's nothing, I just want to come and see, has he caused any trouble to you?" ”

The old lady waved her hand again and again, "No, no, there is no trouble at all, to be able to adopt Xiao Gu, it is too late for me and the old man to be happy, how can it be troublesome!" ”

"That's good, since he's not at home, then I won't bother and leave." Qi Niang turned around and wanted to leave, but heard the sound of "dong dong dong" coming from the house, Qi Niang turned back suspiciously, only to see the old couple, you look at me and I look at you, with a panicked face, Qi Niang felt that something was wrong with these two people, and hurriedly asked: "What sound?" ”

The couple said nervously: "There is no sound, I'm afraid the girl heard it wrong, right?" ”

At this time, the "dong dong" sound sounded again, Qi Niang squinted her eyes, and found that the voice was from the backyard, she forced to ask: "When I am deaf?" Say, who's in the backyard, isn't that kid? ”

Seeing that the two couples didn't dare to speak, Qi Niang went straight to the backyard, followed the sound to the firewood room in the backyard, and saw that the door was locked from the outside, and someone inside was knocking on the door from time to time, Qi Niang turned back to the husband and wife and said, "Open the lock." ”

Qi Niang's face was frosty, and her tone could not be refused, which frightened the couple into a dilemma, but they didn't dare to step forward. Qi Niang glanced at the two of them, walked quickly to the front of the firewood room, and said to the inside: "Stand back!" After speaking, he raised his leg and kicked it violently, and the door of the firewood room was kicked open with a "bang".

The boy sat on the ground and looked at Qi Niang in surprise, as if he had seen a god who saved the world, sat up from the ground, ran to Qi Niang, and shouted excitedly: "Sister, you came to save me!" ”

Qi Niang glanced at the boy, and saw that he was alive and jumping, dressed neatly and not like being abused, and wondered in her heart, and asked the old couple: "Why did you lock him up in the firewood room?" ”

The couple was stunned by Qi Niang's actions just now, and stood in place speechless. The boy hurriedly said for them: "Sister, don't misunderstand my godfather and godmother, they are not bad people, but they are worried that I will be cut out by those people, so they locked me in the firewood room." ”

Qi Niang was surprised: "Cut your tongue? Who is going to cut your tongue? ”

"Hmm...... Godfather, godmother? The boy looked at the old couple hesitantly, as if asking for their opinion.

Knowing that she couldn't hide it, the old lady had no choice but to say, "Old man, you take Xiao Gu down first." After breaking away her wife, she said to Qi Niang: "Girl, it's not that we deliberately hide it from you, it's just that it's not good for your reputation to say about this matter, and the king specially ordered that no one should say it, and if anyone is found to tell the girl, then cut off someone's tongue." Last time, a soldier guarding the gate was killed by the king's order because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. ”

Qi Niang looked at the eldest lady in shock and asked, "Auntie, you tell me, what is so important?" Don't worry, I won't tell you kings. ”

The eldest lady hesitated: "Is what the girl said serious?" ”

Qi Niang nodded solemnly, "I promise you are safe and sound." ”

"Is it true that the girl doesn't remember what happened that day? On that day, you were seriously injured and carried back to White Night City by a man, unclothed, thanks to the cloak of the White Night City soldiers. I heard that the girl is married, and if she is picked up by a man like this, even if the girl is innocent, she will inevitably be gossiped about. The king was afraid that you would not be able to open it, so he ordered that no one should tell anything about it. But so many people saw it, how could this matter be hidden. No, the soldiers at the gate of the city have been changed, and no one knows where they have gone, but we only know that the king himself killed the man who had sent the news, and said to us, "We must not let the girl know about it, or else we will cut off the man's tongue." We're just ordinary people, how dare we say it! Girl, have pity on us, don't give us out! The old lady begged in horror.

Qi Niang froze in place, and asked for a long time: "Then do you know who the man who rescued me back that day?" ”

"This ...... I don't know about this, I only heard Lao Zhang at the city gate say that the man ran to the city gate with you in his arms that day, and was regarded as an enemy by the soldiers, and he had a lot of blood on his body, and he lay motionless in the snow, and he dyed the ground red. By the way, he was dressed in white, and his hair was also white, and he had never seen such a person in White Night City......"

Qi Niang was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What about that person?" Where did that person go after that? ”

"The boy called for him to be sent to an inn outside the city, as if it was called something, oh yes, it was called the Luomei Inn, but when we took the king to the inn, the man was no longer there, and the shopkeeper said that he had been taken away by a man who was neither male nor female. Girl, don't blame me for talking too much, although I don't know what happened to the girl that day, but the king looks very angry, since the king values the girl's reputation so much, the girl should stop dwelling on this matter, this is also for your good. ”

The eldest lady persuaded bitterly, Qi Niang stood in place for a long time and was speechless, she left the couple's house with mixed feelings, and when she walked outside, thin snowflakes fell on her shoulders again. She looked up at the snowflake and lost her mind for a moment. After a long time, the boy's voice sounded behind her: "Sister, are you going to find that big brother?" ”

Qi Niang looked back in a daze and shook her head, "You saved him, he was seriously injured, right?" ”

The boy thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how he hurts, but his blood keeps gushing out of his chest, and I don't have the money to stay in a hotel, so I paid for the room with the wrench on his finger......"

Qi Niang's eyes flashed with a light, and she ran out in the direction of the city gate. When she came to the Luomei Inn that the eldest lady said, Qi Niang immediately grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you something!" ”

The shopkeeper looked at her face, and couldn't help muttering: "It's strange, this is the fourth person in the past three months to ask me about something, let's say, do you also want to ask me about the white-haired man?" ”

Qi Niang nodded, shook her head again, and said, "Do you remember when a little boy sent the white-haired man here, he used a wrench to pay for the room?" ”

The shopkeeper searched in his mind for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and slapped the table, "I remember, there is such a thing, I originally saw that the man was seriously injured and did not dare to take him in, but the wrench looked very valuable, and I thought that he might be my nobleman!" And he had stayed in my shop before, so I let him live in the same room he had lived in before, and I hired a doctor for him. ”

Qi Niang continued to ask, "Is that wrench still there?" ”

"Yes, yes, I've been keeping it, I'm afraid that someone will come and go back then." The shopkeeper said.

Qi Niang breathed a sigh of relief, took off the hairpin on her head and the bracelet on her hand, and said, "I didn't bring any money today, shopkeeper, you see if these are enough to pay for the house, if it's not enough, I'll go back and get some more money." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly excused himself and said: "It's a lot, the girl's jewelry is valuable, the man only stayed for one night, and it didn't cost so much, so the girl will give me this bracelet, and you can take the hairpin back." ”

Qi Niang smiled, "It's okay, you can take it, just thank the shopkeeper for taking it on for that person." ”

The shopkeeper thanked him again and again, and then asked, "Dare to ask what is the relationship between the girl and that person?" I've seen many guests in my life, but I've never seen anything like him. Obviously, he was seriously injured and in a coma and half dead, and he kept muttering the name Xiao Qi in his mouth, and kept saying that he wanted to save her, alas, it seems that he is also an infatuated lover! ”

Qi Niang opened her mouth, then was silent for a while, and said, "He is a friend of mine." After speaking, she held the wrench in the palm of her hand, took a serious look, and found that the inner ring of the wrench was engraved with the word "Che", thinking that this wrench was very important to Bian Che, no wonder he had been wearing it and never left his hand. I have seen him use this wrench to open the door of the dark room of the Thousand Machine Building, but other than that, there should be some special significance.
