Chapter 497: Nightmare

Mu Hongshang was awakened by a nightmare.

She lifted the bed tent and looked at the sky, it seemed to be still midnight, it was dark and dreary all around, the water chestnut outside seemed to be sleeping deeply, and the whole room was very quiet.

Mu Hongshang lay back on the bed and wanted to continue sleeping for a while, but the nightmare from before was so terrible that she couldn't let herself fall asleep anyway. She froze on the bed with her eyes open for a moment, but finally couldn't help but get up, walked barefoot to the window, and stretched out her hand to push it open.

Although it was already summer, the wind at night was still a little cool, and the night breeze poured into the room, making Mu Hongsheng's mind a little clearer.

The fifth brother and Jinyi have been gone for more than ten days, calculate the time, it's time to go to Heng'an, right? I don't know if the fifth brother has obediently entered the Heng'an camp, and I don't know if Jinyi can control the fifth brother with a tendon.

Probably yes, right? After all, there are still martial masters. Maybe in two days, I will be able to receive a letter from Jinyi!

Jinyi shouldn't be delayed in Hengan for a long time, right? When the fifth brother enters the camp, he should come back soon.

But I can't say, this stinky boy is very playful, maybe he wants to stay in the north and hang out for a while!

Mu Hongshang raised her head and looked at the broken stars in the sky, a smile on her lips. Jinyi is happy now, right? When you get to the north, you'll be able to meet your brothers!

After a cool breeze blowing for a while, Mu Hongsheng was about to close the window and go back to sleep, when suddenly, a slight sound came into her ears, Mu Hongsheng frowned slightly, turned her head directly, and looked at the corner of the courtyard through the night.

Under the crescent moon and starlight, the courtyard was extremely dark, and only the two lanterns at the entrance of the courtyard emitted a dim yellow light, but under such dim light, it was actually impossible to see anything.

However, Mu Hongsheng still stared at the corner of the courtyard fixedly, even breathing lightly, she seemed to see something, and she didn't seem to see anything.

In the dark corner of the courtyard, two dim lights suddenly flashed, but they disappeared in a flash, as if someone's eyes were reflecting. Mu Hongshang couldn't believe her eyes, she lowered her voice and called out to the dark corner: "Biying? ”

The movement in the corner was slightly louder, and the sound of the feline paws gently tapping on the ground was even more pronounced in the quiet night. Mu Biying's huge figure looked particularly strange under the dim starlight, and after being summoned by its master, it ran to the window at a very fast speed, and when it passed by the dimly lit lantern, Biying's body was exposed to the light for a moment.

Just this fleeting effort, Mu Hongshang still clearly saw Mu Biying's embarrassment and sobriety. It was too busy to take care of itself, the mud and blood stains had scabbed over its body, and the flesh that had been turned up before had begun to heal on its own, no longer bloody and scary, but the bare hair on the wound made the healing wound look particularly hideous.

Mu Biying didn't make a muffled whining sound from Mu Hongsheng's mouth, as if she was wronged and coquettish, and as if she was crying. It couldn't make a clear sound, because in its mouth, it was still dutifully holding the half of the robe that Mu Jinyi had finally asked it to bring back.

Mu Biying is a leopard, of course it can't read, but it knows very well that this tattered cloth is very important. The heavy smell of blood on the rag had dissipated, and as it traveled all the way, the cloth towel looked even more tattered and dirty.

But Mu Biying did her best to keep the rag very well, it was very smart, it knew how to avoid the blood stains on it when it picked up the rag, and it also knew that when it came all the way home, try not to let the cloth be exposed to the rain and sun.

It also knew that it had to hand over Mu Jinyi's last relic to its master as soon as possible, so these days, Mu Biying was almost sleepless on the road, occasionally stopping to drink saliva, and only when she was so tired that she could not find a place to rest for a while. It had to guard the cloth, so it didn't hunt and forage along the way, and occasionally picked up something ready-made, whatever it was, and filled its stomach casually, but most of the time, it was hungry.

Biying, who was hungry and exhausted, but had already failed once, finally lived up to Mu Jinyi's request this time and handed over his relics to Mu Hongsheng.

Mu Biying jumped on the window lattice lightly, and entered Mu Hongsheng's bedroom directly through the open window, it directly stretched its head to Mu Hongsheng's hand, and handed the cloth towel to Mu Hongsheng's hand steadily.

When Mu Hongshang saw the seriously injured Biying and the tattered cloth, she already had an ominous premonition in her heart. She hesitated for a moment while holding the cloth towel, but turned to light the lamp.

The light was on, Mu Hongsheng stared at the familiar color cloth under the lamp, she took a deep breath, and bravely opened the cloth towel that had been carefully protected by Biying for many days.

The few words written by Mu Jinyi in blood before his death were still on it, and they were protected by Biying as much as she could. A few days passed, the smell of blood faded, the blood stains began to blacken, and the entire cloth towel exuded a bad smell, but the handwriting was still clear, although it was messy, but Mu Hongshang could recognize it at a glance that it was the word brocade.

"The trap is not Rongdi

Sorry"

In just a few words, Mu Hongshang understood everything.

They fell into a trap, and the brocade clothes never came back.

He said sorry because he couldn't come back. What he asked Biying to bring back was his last warning.

Mu Hongshang suddenly felt as if she was standing barefoot on a piece of ice, the chill suddenly rose from the soles of her feet, from her feet to the top of her head, and the position on her chest was like a huge ice cube, cold and sharp, which made her suffer from severe pain.

The feeling of cold and pain made her grab the clothes on her chest, squatted on the ground, curled up like a wounded beast, her entire white eyes were bloodshot, but there were still no tears.

First pain, then anger. Perhaps when people are in extreme pain, they need to transfer their emotions in other ways so that they don't be crushed by pain, and Mu Hongshang was quickly overwhelmed by violent anger. She had always been a good-natured little girl, happy most of the time, perhaps occasionally worried, but never so manic and furious as she was today.

She could barely control her desire to vent and destroy, she was angry, angry, and wanted to tear up and take revenge. But who is she hating? Who is her revenge directed against?

Mu Hongshang held the ground with one hand, panting uncontrollably, like a grumpy cow.

Feline perceptions are extremely keen, Mu Hongsheng's emotions such a fierce leak were of course felt by Mu Biying, Biying was obviously a little panicked, its green eyes widened, its ears were slightly turned back, and its mouth let out a gentle whining sound, as if it was begging for mercy, and it seemed to admit its mistake.
