Chapter 69: Look at each other

"Xiao Yun!" Xiao Shu watched her leave, his heart was full of bitterness, he had actually been thinking about telling her about it, but he would always stop because of this dark guard's identity.

He was afraid that she would hate the days when he licked blood from the tip of his knife, and he was afraid that he would drag her into the whirlpool of this incident.

But I couldn't help but get closer to her bright smile, maybe it was all because I was too greedy, I was just getting closer, but now I became so demanding......

Chu Xinyun wiped her tears and walked towards the bottom of the mountain, now that all the traffickers have been left behind by her, she just wants to go home immediately and lie on the bed to sleep, if she wakes up and finds that all this is fake....

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ridicule her cowardice, what is right and wrong, what is true and false, everything is just a cloud of the past.

I'm really stupid, I know that this thing will happen sooner or later, but I am not satisfied with self-comfort, and when the incident is out of control, I am already deep in it and can't extricate myself.

She bit her lower lip and tried to keep herself from crying, while Xiao Shu followed her from a distance and looked at her sadly.

Today's night was exceptionally dark, and she didn't pay attention to the soles of her feet at all if she didn't care about her own thoughts, so she stepped on an empty ankle and twisted it hard, and suddenly a heart-piercing pain came up.

"Shhh Chu Xinyun gasped, only to feel that his ankle was instantly swollen.

"Xiao Yun!" Xiao Shu walked over quickly, squatted down to check her feet and found that they were swollen badly, and when he picked them up, he said, "I'll talk about it when I get back." This sentence silenced her who had resisted speechlessly.

Then the two returned to the inn in Yunlai County silently, hired a carriage and rushed back to Chujia Village overnight.

Chu Xinyun leaned on the bumpy carriage, and her heart was mixed for a while, she didn't know how to face Xiao Kill after she went back.

Perhaps it was a night of tossing and the pain in her ankles, and she gradually became sleepy, and slowly closed her eyes by leaning against the carriage.

When she woke up from this sleep, it was already the next morning, and she opened her eyes in a trance as she listened to the pleasant birdsong in her ears.

She rubbed her swollen and aching head and got up, her heart hurt as soon as her feet moved, and Aunt Wang, who heard the movement outside the house, hurriedly walked in.

"Xiao Yun, are you awake? Is there any uncomfortable place there? Your ankle is twisted very lightly, and the doctor said that you have to lie in bed for ten days and half a month. ”

"You said you went to the county to play, why did you twist your foot."

Chu Xinyun smiled reluctantly: "I'll pay attention next time." ”

"Okay, are you hungry? I made you millet porridge, which is the best thing to nourish your stomach, Xiao Shu said that you haven't eaten much all night, so I'll go and give it some..."

Saying that, Aunt Wang was about to get up and leave, but Chu Xinyun hurriedly called out to him: "Auntie!"

"What's wrong? But what's uncomfortable?"

She paused and asked in a low voice, "What about Xiao Kill?"

"He went to the field early in the morning, and he guessed that he would be back soon." Aunt Wang came over and asked in a low voice: "I was called by him to change your clothes yesterday, and I saw that his face was not very good, is something wrong?"

She tilted her head and changed the subject, "No... It's okay, I'm a little hungry....."

"I'll go serve it to you!"

After eating a bowl of porridge, she felt more comfortable, and with the support of Aunt Wang, she sat lazily in the yard basking in the sun, saying that she was basking in the sun, but in fact she was thinking absentmindedly.

At noon, Xiao Kill came back, and the two sat facing each other, but no one spoke.

After taking Aunt Wang to leave, Xiao Shu spoke: "The matter in the county town has been almost resolved, and the girls locked in the yard have also been rescued." ”

Chu Xinyun lowered his eyes and listened silently.

"It's just that a leader escaped, and now he is being pursued all over the county, and the county government suspects that he has accomplices elsewhere, and is ready to uproot it after a strict investigation."

Chu Xinyun looked up at him and asked, "What about you, when are you going to leave?"

Xiao was killed, and his face was bitter: "Xiao Yun, do you want me to go like that?" I don't want to go......"

"Now that your men have been found, what other reason do you have not to leave?" Chu Xinyun's calm heart at the moment was terrifying: "You and I are both adults, we know what path we want to take in the future, why should two unrelated people get together." ”

Saying this, she took a deep breath, and her eyes were full of determination: "You can leave tomorrow, and I will prepare the silver supplies for you." ”

Xiao Shu raised his head fiercely and looked at her with a shocked expression: "Xiao Yun, I'......

"Needless to say, this day will come, won't it?" She smiled self-deprecatingly: "The doctor also said before, if you go to the place where you used to stay, you will have a better chance of recovering your memory, what is the process of always relying on me?"

"Besides, you are a person who works for the emperor, and you will be inexhaustible in the future, so it's better to be an uneducated farmer here than if you are here, right?"

Speaking of this, she inexplicably sour her nose, and continued with her gradually moist eyes: "People go to high places, and the water flows to the ground, we... So be it. ”

After saying that, she struggled to get up, endured the stinging pain under her feet and limped into the house, leaving Xiao Shu alone sitting in the yard, not moving for a long time.

The evening meal is still handled by Aunt Wang, although the taste is average, but it can fill the stomach.

When Chu Xinyun was eating, she wanted to say something several times, and when she was about to finish eating, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yun, you and Xiao Kill. Is this a contradiction?"

She held the chopsticks in her hand and paused to keep her head down and not speak.

Aunt Wang sighed: "The two of you are engaged people, so you still have to be tolerant of each other, after all, how can you live under the same roof without quarreling?" If he did something wrong, you tell the eldest mother, and I will let him come in and apologize!"

Chu Xinyun hurriedly grabbed her, and didn't know what to say with a tangled expression.

She had to say, "Auntie, I don't blame him for this, it's all my fault." ”

"Then you can talk to him, don't make any unpleasant trouble, this husband and wife quarrel at the end of the bed, everyone just talk about it, isn't this matter easy to solve!"

Aunt Wang passed on her experience with Brother Da Long again, and Chu Xinyun responded with an embarrassed smile.

I finally sent it away, but before the lights went out, there was another knock at the door.

She had to hang up a wooden stick to open the door, thinking that Aunt Wang had forgotten something, but what appeared outside the door was an unfamiliar face.

"Miss Chu, I'm the junior of the dark guard, I don't know if I can delay you something?"

Chu Xinyun frowned: "What's the matter with you?"

Xiao San hesitated for a while and finally spoke: "It's about the master, I don't know if Miss Chu has the will to listen, if it doesn't have me, I won't bother." ”

She thought about it for a while, and finally invited someone in.

The two sat down in the room, and Xiao San then began to tell about Xiao Killing.

Xiao San sighed: "Actually, the master doesn't want to hide it from you, it's just that our business is really a bit dishonorable, and we do some things that secretly kill people and steal information, except for Your Majesty, the rest of the people are almost looking forward to our death."

"Before I met you, I never thought that the boss would smile so happily one day, and it felt like he was finally like a living person."

Xiao San sighed when he said this, he couldn't be clearer about what the previous master was like, and his face was always expressionless, and he was accurate as if he didn't look like a human.

But when he fell off the cliff because of the stealing disguise, he and the others finally found him, but they found that he was basically the same as before, if it weren't for the appearance and token, they really had to wonder if they were looking for the wrong person.

Although there were a lot of confusing orders for Miss Chu, such a humane boss made them feel very warm.

Yesterday they saw the boss who lost his soul, and after asking, he found out that it was because his identity was discovered, and Xiao San, as the oldest secret guard in the team, couldn't bear to see his boss like this, so he secretly came to explain things while he was not paying attention.

Chu Xinyun's face was slightly moved after hearing this, although she didn't understand what a secret guard was, but at least it was still broadcast in the TV series, it was nothing more than dealing with some dirty things behind her back, and her identity was not visible.

But she didn't expect that the reason why Xiao Shu hid and didn't tell herself was because she was afraid that she would be involved.

"Miss Chu doesn't know, now that His Majesty has sent an order to investigate the matter of King Jing, King Jing's power is now getting stronger and stronger, and the shopkeeper Chen of Dexing Building is his subordinate, and several assassinations and investigations have been blocked by the head of the head, and he is obviously injured and still can't bear to tell you......"

Xiao San is a person who can observe words and feelings, and when he saw that her indifferent face was slightly moved, he continued to pursue the victory, and did not hesitate to betray the boss and tell the previous story.

Chu Xinyun was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "When was he injured?!"

Xiao San scratched his head and whispered: "Just some time ago, the boss was afraid that you would be worried, so he warned us not to reveal half a cent......"

"This guy!" Chu Xinyun was immediately angry: "Don't hide your identity, you have to hide this matter from me!"

No wonder he always went out early and returned late a few days ago, and he said that he had a bad appetite and couldn't eat, obviously because of his injury!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she slapped the table and shouted, "What about others! Get him back at once!"

Seeing this, Xiao San hurriedly got up: "The boss should be on our side, I'll go and let him come back!!"

Before the words fell, his voice sounded outside the door, and Xiao Shu, who had a somewhat evasive look, pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, glaring at Xiao San fiercely: the latter saluted with a sneer and retreated, and there were only two people in the room who looked at each other again.

Chu Xinyun stared at him with sharp eyes and said, "Why are you still standing, sit down and talk." ”

Xiao Shu knew that he had made a mistake, so he obediently moved a chair and sat down next to her, looking like he was waiting for her to fall.

Chu Xinyun looked at him bowing his head and saying nothing, and suddenly became angry, stretched out his hand and nodded his head hatefully: "If you hadn't told me from your subordinates, when would you still be ready for me?"

"Wasn't it very sharp before, why are you mute now?"

Xiao Shu pursed his lips and looked at her pitifully: "Xiao Yun, don't be angry, okay, I really didn't mean to hide it from you, I'm just afraid of you..."

Chu Xinyun glared at him, "What are you afraid of me?" Are you afraid I won't be able to bear it?"

He scratched his head and didn't answer, but he was relieved.

Xiao Yun, who didn't say anything before, made him a little scared in his heart, but she made him feel better like this.

"Now that things are out of the question, what are you going to do in the future?" She can probably understand how dangerous this profession is, and this guy hasn't recovered his memory yet, and he is still hiding from his superiors....

"This matter is still inconclusive, I think I'll wait for the order first." Without recovering his memory, he really has no sense of this sense of mission, so he can only act at the opportunity.
