Chapter Twenty-Seven: Someone
It can be said that he is staring at the temple gate, but in fact, he is just staring at the dark place beyond the firelight.
After a chirp, the outside of the temple returned to calm, and only the sound of rain remained.
Yu Qingqing's intuition told her that someone was there!
But this sudden calming down told her that this person who sheltered from the rain was not an ordinary person!
The strange feeling spread, the throbbing sound in her chest seemed extremely tight, she swallowed her saliva, her breathing became long, and the palm holding the dagger tightened a little, but she did not immediately pull out the dagger.
The free hand moved away from his knee and slowly touched a piece of wood at his feet.
The firewood forearm is thick, the front end is burning fiercely, the tail end is rough, and there are thin wooden thorns piercing into Yu Qingqing's tiger's mouth, she held the firewood tightly without realizing it, and did not move for a while.
There was a "pop", and the firewood burned in the fire with a crisp cracking sound.
This sound seemed to disturb the dark night, and Yu Qingqing, who was like a stone sculpture, suddenly moved, and the arm holding the firewood struggled to raise, and the firewood drew a brilliant red light in the dim temple, attacking the opposite side.
The firewood light illuminated the unreachable place of the fire, and Yu Qingqing saw the existence of a black shadow inside the temple gate, and as the red light approached, the black shadow became clearer and clearer.
The face of a young man with cold eyebrows and eyes was engraved under Yu Qingqing's eyes.
The dagger in her hand was immediately unsheathed, and at this moment, the person on the other side also moved, raised his hand to knock the torch that reached the door out of the temple, and a short knife flew out of the palm of the other hand, striking the head and neck of the person opposite.
Returning to the dark temple, a sharp cold light flashed, Yu Qingqing understood what it was, and suddenly felt cold in her heart, and for a moment even her breath was condensed.
She subconsciously dodged, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in the side of her neck, followed by the sound of Jin Ge hitting the wall and then landing on the ground.
Walnut rubbed her eyes and sat up, rubbed her feet and leaned to her feet, and said sleepily: "Husband, something has fallen down?" Is it raining so hard that it's going to collapse the house? ”
As the sound of walnuts sounded, the choking feeling of oppression disappeared, Yu Qingqing took a deep breath, and then picked up a piece of firewood from her feet and threw it towards the temple gate.
Torches hit the ground and sparks flew up.
There is no one left.
The tension in her body slowly relaxed, she raised her hand and touched the side of her neck, the tentacles were sticky, and when she looked down, her palms were red.
If she was a little late to react just now, then I'm afraid that her neck is going to be pierced, right?
Walnut looked at Ah Wu's behavior, and she woke up a little sleepily, and she wondered, "What happened?" How is the husband standing? ”
Yu Qingqing swallowed her saliva and said in a steady voice as much as possible, "I'm fine." She picked up what had fallen at Walnut's feet and sat down in the dim spot where the fire could not be fully illuminated: "Sleep, it's still early." ”
Walnut didn't doubt him, so he muttered that Ah Wu would go to bed early, and lay down.
With the faint light of fire, Yu Qingqing looked at the short knife in her hand.
It is a very ordinary short knife, which can be purchased in any blacksmith's shop.
After watching the breath, Yu Qingqing wiped away the blood on the blade with her fingertips, and her eyes were bright.
The man was not like a robber who had robbed his fortune and killed him.
It wouldn't be someone sent by Kyochu to find her.
Thinking back to what had just happened, the man visibly furrowed his brow when he struck the torch, and the force of his elbow hitting the torch was also very reluctant, as if he had been injured...
Tonight, it's just an accident, right?
In the wilderness, Yu Qingqing listened to the sound of the wind and rain outside, and her heart became more and more bottomless, and finally the sky was hazy and bright, and the sound of the rain was slightly weaker, she hurriedly woke up the walnut and left the broken temple.
After walking for a long time, Walnut turned around to talk to Yu Qingqing, glanced at the strip of cloth around her neck, and wondered, "What is that tied?" ”
"I was scratched by a tree branch last night." Yu Qingqing lifted the big hat on her head, looked at the walnuts more clearly, and said, "It's okay." ”
Walnut frowned and said, "Does it hurt?" When Yucheng settles, I'll give you medicine. ”
Yu Qingqing smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”
Although it was raining, fortunately the official road was not difficult, and in the evening they saw the low gate of Yucheng from a distance.
Yu Qingqing looked at those two words and breathed a sigh of relief.
Smoothly entered the city, found an inn to stay, bathing and dining do not mention.
When he was about to sleep, Walnut suddenly remembered something, turned over and sat up, pulled the burden and pinched a medicine bottle out of it, and then bypassed the screen to Ah Wu's bed.
The man on the couch had his eyes closed, and his breath was long, as if he had fallen asleep.
Walnut thought that his movements should be light, and he reached out to untie the cloth strip around Ah Wu's neck, and before his fingers could touch it, his wrist was grabbed.
Yu Qingqing opened her eyes, looked at the walnuts and said, "If you don't go to sleep, what are you doing?" ”
Walnut wondered why he had suddenly come to his senses.
Stared at by him, Walnut shook the medicine bottle in his hand a little helplessly, and said angrily: "I forgot to give you medicine." ”
Yu Qingqing glanced at the medicine bottle in her hand.
"No problem." As he spoke, he let go of his hand, turned over and faced inward, and said, "Go to sleep." ”
Walnut looked at his back, not moving.
And he could hear the man on the couch: "Obedient." ”
Walnut let out a slow "oh" and turned back.
The next day, Yu Qingqing woke up early, saw that Walnut was still asleep, and tiptoed out of the room after dressing.
With the news she had heard in her previous life, she went to Pinghu Street in the city.
Pinghu Street is a street, which is one of the bustling and lively main streets in Yucheng, and Yu Qingqing went back and forth twice from beginning to end.
Every shop and every exit on the street, she kept it in mind.
Pinghu Street is a horn street with a narrow front and a wide back, if she wants to assassinate someone on this street, then where will she choose to do it?
"Guest officer, do you want to eat steamed buns?"
A warm voice interrupted Yu Qingqing's contemplation, and she turned her head to see that it was a bun shop in coarse cloth clothes soliciting customers.
"I'm hungry." Yu Qingqing quickly lost her demeanor, smiled, rubbed her belly aggressively, strode closer to the steamed bun shop, and asked for a plate of steamed buns and a bowl of soup.
Xiao Er smiled and wrote down the preparations, and soon walked over with the tray.
When the food was put on the table, Xiao Er said with a smile: "The guest officer uses it slowly." ”
Yu Qingqing nodded, briefly looked at the man eating in the bun shop, and then pinched a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks and began to eat breakfast.
The four buns on the plate, all with thin skin and big filling, Yu Qingqing learned from others to eat one in two bites, and then choked.
In order not to be seen, she hurriedly took a big sip of the soup, and then swallowed the bun that was choking in her throat.
Secretly raised his forehead and said, this pretending to be a man is really a bit hard...
Not inferior to the speed of other diners, Yu Qingqing finished her breakfast, thinking about the little girl in the inn, she asked Xiao Er for four more buns, and ordered them to be wrapped in oiled paper.
While waiting, I heard the next table talking: "Have you heard, that habitual thief has been caught!" ”
"Really?"
"What a lie to you!"
"He has committed many crimes, and now he has been captured, I'm afraid he will lose his life, right?"
"It's going to be beheaded."
Yu Qingqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and when she thought of something, she reached out and touched the cloth strip on the side of her neck, and said secretly: The security in Yongzhou is really good!
