061 Nightmare
Today was the day when the little agent sweated the most in his life.
On the hoe, eat the banquet sent by the West Factory at noon, hoe the ground at the next day, and in the evening I don't want to rest, sit behind the carriage and go to Changxinglou with the master to watch the shadow puppet show.
The carriage moved slowly, and the little agent squinted at the red sky and sighed. He misses the days before he was promoted to foreman. In order to find out the news, he pretends to be all kinds of people. First he was a beggar, an idler, then a little girl, a tea doctor, and then a serious business. The fried meat stall is small, but it is also a business. Many little spies in Dongchang envied him.
It's like now, being promoted to foreman has become a broken urge. It's really going back the more I live.
Pei Jinyao didn't know the resentment in the little agent's heart at all. She nibbled on the bone-in abalone snail, raised her eyebrows and said, "This snack is average, not as delicious as my cook's." "You can't wear the official mansion to watch a shadow puppet show, Pei Jinyao sent Lao Wen back to get a set of lake green arrow sleeves, with a pearl crown, dressed like a young son of a rich and noble family.
Yan Huangyu's face darkened, and she shook the fan in her hand without speaking.
"Ah Fa is a good one. It's only been a day, and I've hoeed all the open spaces of the Divine Machine Division. Pei Jinyao had a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth, "You are willing to give me such a useful person, you must have something to ask for, right?" Putting down the bone-in abalone snail that had bitten a little bit, "Come, I'll show you palmistry." ”
Yan Huangyu hurriedly retracted her hand into her sleeve, leaning back, and stopped her with her eyes, "No need." ”
Pei Jinyao stared at Yan Huangyu's good-looking face and pursed her lips.
His reaction was unusual. Replaced by Cen Lu, I can't wait to let her make this magic machine touch her bones from head to toe. Yan Huangyu seemed to avoid it, for fear that she would get involved.
Maybe traitors have quirks. For example, if you don't want to be touched, you use thirty or fifty white handkerchiefs a day or something.
"It's okay to look at your face without looking at your palms." Pei Jinyao rubbed her chin and looked at Yan Huangyu seriously, "The eyebrows are thick but gray, the eyes are big but distracted, Yan Liuye was separated from his close relatives when he was young, and he was helpless." Pitiful, really pitiful. After the crown, it is good, and the fortune is getting stronger and stronger year by year, which can be said to be a fire cooking oil and flowers. It's just that you are destined to commit a catastrophe, and the people around you are dying one after another because of you. In the end, it ended up lonely and miserable. ”
The corners of Yan Huangyu's lips pursed into a word, and the knuckles of the hand holding the little fan turned white, as if Pei Jinyao said one more word, and he would kill her without hesitation.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.
Pei Jinyao bent her eyebrows, "Sixth Master Yan, don't be angry, I'm talking nonsense." Master hasn't taught me how to read physiognomy yet. ”
Yan Huangyu's chest rose and fell and eased for a few breaths, "Disaster comes from the mouth." Pei Shenji made it better not to laugh. ”
Pei Jinyao took a sip of honey, "Don't talk, don't laugh, don't be lively." After today, Yan Liuye and I have watched shadow puppets together. ”
Yan Huangyu's thin anger did not fade from the corners of her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and sneered, "A friendship as thin as a shadow puppet." ”
Pei Jinyao didn't laugh angrily, "Sixth Master Yan is much naughtier than me." Glancing at Yan Huangyu, "Why didn't the Ninth Master come?" Hasn't he always been inseparable from Yan Liuye? ”
Hua Jiu also wanted to join in the fun. Before going out, Xiao Hongyu asked Gui Nu'er to hand over the letter, saying that the Qunfang meeting originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow would be changed to tonight. Hua Jiu weighed it again and again, and felt that he couldn't hurt the girls' hearts, so he left Yanhuangyu to go to the appointment.
Yan Huangyu didn't want to explain too much to Pei Jinyao, so she only said, "He can't come." ”
"Next time I'm the east, I'll invite Yan Liuye and Hua Jiuye to have a drink." Pei Jinyao smiled and ate a peach ring.
Yanhuang jade puffed up the fan.
This little girl looks like a porcelain doll, but in fact she is a little hedgehog, and she is very piercing. Not only is his teeth sharp, but his temperament is also tricky, don't look at his young age, he is not a good person. No wonder Ah Fa was so tired on the first day he went to the Divine Machine Division that he couldn't speak.
It's very good-looking, how can it wilt and wilt. It's not as stupid and stupid as Liu Jian.
Yan Huangyu had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.
The car stopped at this time.
"Arrived?" Pei Jinyao held a small peach ring in her mouth, "Why is it so fast?" Lifting the curtain and looking out, the peach ring fell on the placket.
"There's big trouble." She said in a deep voice.
Yan Huangyu hurriedly came to her side and looked out through the corner of the curtain of the car.
The crimson sunset was gone, replaced by darkness, and a white lantern hung high on either side of the carriage, the faint light of which shrouded them like a large net.
"Ah Fa. Bai Ying. Pei Jinyao shouted softly.
No one responded.
Yan Huangyu swallowed her saliva and muttered in a low voice, "Sure enough, it's a ghost lacking in the five elements." ”
The warm scent falls behind the ears, with a slight hint of mint. Pei Jinyao bit her lip, "You wait in the car, I'll go down and take a look." ”
"I'll go with you." Yan Huangyu didn't hesitate for a moment.
Pei Jinyao suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have said those words just now and hurt his heart. After all, those things haven't happened yet, and I don't know if they will. It's a bit harsh to hold him accountable for what didn't happen now.
Yan Huangyu held Pei Jinyao's slender wrist, "It's safer for me to follow you." ”
It was she who looked up to him. Pei Jinyao waited for him hatefully.
"Let's go. Don't regret it. ”
Bai Ying's Ah Fa and the horse pulling the cart were gone. The carriage remained strangely in its original state.
Pei Jinyao stepped on the ground with both feet and stomped down hard, making a banging echo.
Yan Huangyu's hand holding Pei Jinyao tighter, and she was still a little trembling.
Pei Jinyao didn't laugh at him. Ordinary people will be scared when they encounter this situation. Yan Huangyu didn't faint in fright, she was already bold.
Yan Huangyu looked up at the lantern above her head, her teeth chattering, "You, you look at it." ”
Pei Jinyao followed his line of sight, and the snow-white lanterns oozed blood lines, and they soon converged. Tick, tick, drop by drop of sticky blood falls.
"Don't be afraid." Pei Jinyao comforted and held Yan Huangyu's hand, "This is a nightmare technique." ”
Pei Jinyao's hand had a calming warmth, Yan Huangyu exhaled the sullen breath in her chest and responded, "Nightmare? Do you mean dreaming? ”
"Almost." Pei Jinyao turned her head to look at Yan Huangyu, "This is your dream, but it's not all." ”
Nightmare is a form of sorcery that can cause confusion in the mind. Despised by famous warlocks. However, there are still people who enjoy studying it tirelessly until they become proficient.
After her reminder, Yan Huangyu's ears sounded the sound of swords colliding and fierce fighting.
It had been a long time since he had that dream. In the dream, he shivered and hid in the carriage. I couldn't see my fingers in the car. The smell of blood permeated the nose. He was very scared alone, and he clutched a golden lock tightly in his hand. It was given to him by his father.
He was tempted to take advantage of the opportunity to run away. But he used all his strength, and he only stretched out his fingers to lift the corner of the curtain. The night was dark, and the dusk light shrouded the carriage in which he was staying. Let him clearly see the dead soldiers who fought for him with blood all over their bodies.
Yan Huangyu wanted to make them stop, but she couldn't make a sound.
That's what he said to himself at that time.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer.
One by one, the dead fell before his eyes. Yan Huangyu's heart also sank a little bit. He didn't wait for his father to come to his rescue. Instead, he waited for his father-in-law, who fought to the death and finally brought him out of danger.
The father-in-law said, "The minister is late. There was blood between his lips and teeth, and every word he said seemed to exhaust all his strength.
"Where's my father?" He asked.
The stepfather did not answer, but just held him tightly in his arms. The warm blood stuck to his face, and it was extremely uncomfortable to be greasy.
"Wait a little longer, and someone will come to our rescue." Yan Huangyu's teeth chattered and she spit out this sentence with difficulty, her beautiful eyes full of fear and expectation.
"Okay, then we'll wait patiently." Pei Jinyao said with a smile.
There is no doubt that this spell is for the unknown secret that Yan Huangyu pressed in the bottom of his heart. Thankfully, the caster's skills are still shallow. Otherwise, under the difficulty of supporting Yanhuang Jade, it will fill up everything in the dream one by one.
Yan Huangyu looked around blankly. In the distance is a daunting darkness. I don't know how much danger is hidden in it. It's like there's a pair of eyes watching.
"Of course you're up to you in your dreams." Pei Jinyao shook Yan Huangyu's arm.
Yan Huangyu's eyes showed a hint of struggle.
This nightmare has long taken root in his heart, and if he is not careful, he will bloom into man-eating flowers.
"We can only wait." Yan Huangyu sat on the ground with his legs weak, the blood on the lantern dripping on his hot robe, and the shocking red reflected Yan Huangyu's miserable white complexion, making him look so helpless, "He will definitely come to save me." He told me to wait for him. ”
Yan Huangyu's hand grabbed Pei Jinyao's wrist and dragged her to the ground.
The ground was already red with blood and soaked with clothes.
Pei Jinyao closed her eyes and kept telling herself that these were illusions.
As long as Yan Huangyu persists for a while, she will break free from this dream. Pei Jinyao sat down next to Yan Huangyu and hummed softly. She didn't know what Yan Huangyu had been through, but it was a sad and terrible past.
Maybe it's a dream of purification. It's really pitiful, the knife is about to cut down, and he is still waiting for someone to save him. Maybe his father sold him for a bad gamble. A bad gambler can even sell a wife, let alone a son.
Pei Jinyao didn't think about the four or six blindly, and the tone was a little off.
The out-of-tune song gradually soothed Yan Huangyu's panicked heart like a heavenly sound. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace.
"Sixth master, let's go to Changxing Tower." Bai Ying said outside.
Yan Huangyu suddenly opened his eyes, and Pei Jinyao was also looking at him with a smile, "Sixth Master is awake?" You've slept soundly and dreamed a lot, haven't you? ”
Dreams are dreams, but they are not beautiful dreams. Unlike his previous dreams, this time he got out of the carriage. It was as if there was someone beside him who accompanied him and encouraged him to walk into the darkness. He didn't dare. Later, the man laughed and sang an out-of-tune song.
It's a mess.
Yan Huangyu had a cold face and sighed noncommittally. The corner of his eye really swept Pei Jinyao's face twice. He probably didn't talk in his sleep. Otherwise, the only way to keep it is to kill her.
Pei Jinyao's smile became brighter and brighter, "I don't know if the braised duck tongue in Changxinglou is authentic, I have to wear the braised duck tongue when I watch the shadow puppet, or it will be tasteless." As he spoke, he grabbed the little agent's elbow and stepped on the footstool, "Ah Fa, you don't seem to be very energetic. ”
The little agent has the heart to cry to death. It's been a tired day, and you still want him to be refreshed? Sitting in the back of the car, he didn't even dare to take a nap, for fear of falling down if he was not careful. If there is a prisoner who does not understand the trial, it is not wrong to call Pei Shenji. She was born to eat this bowl of rice in Dongchang.
Pei Jinyao looked like usual and joked with Ah Fa Tan, and Yan Huangyu's hand holding the little fan loosened slightly.
Xiao Ye'er's class really lives up to its reputation. The shadow puppet show is good-looking, and the braised duck tongue is also delicious. Bai Ying watched it with relish, and her slap turned red. The little spy slept from beginning to end, yawning in and yawning out. For this, the head of Xiao Ye'er's class gave four bowls of Yangchun noodles, and he paid for it.
Pei Jinyao arrived home at the end of the day. Coming out of the room, Cui Qiao held a soft towel to help her twist her hair.
Mama Chen brought a stack of gift boxes, "Girl, this is sent by Miss Qian's fifth order." ”
Pei Jinyao picked up the envelope on the gift box, opened it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Miss Qian is afraid that I won't be able to find time to go to her house as a guest." "Open the brocade box, there is the small river group that promised her before, and a box of bead flowers, a thousand miles away.
Pei Jinyao took out Qianliwang, "This is a good thing." ”
This Qianliwang is very finely made, and it is also inlaid with coral and other objects, which is a foreign product at first glance.
"Ming'er, tell your mother, let her help me prepare a study room, and pick a few paintings as a return gift." Pei Jinyao put Qianliwang back in the box, her wrist was exposed from her bedclothes, Cui Qiao screamed, and pointed to the bruise on Pei Jinyao's wrist, "The girl is injured." ”
Mama Chen's face also changed, and she hurriedly went to get the medicine and wine.
"Out of the way." Pei Jinyao smiled and said, "Xu has touched it." ”
Mama Chen looked like she was holding harder. While pushing the medicinal wine to Pei Jinyao, she said with red eyes: "The girl has worked hard." This errand is rewarded by His Majesty, and you can't do it if you don't want to. Pity our girl for showing up at such a young age......"
Pei Jinyao endured the pain and comforted her, "I just write and paint in the small courtyard when I have nothing to do, and there are temple people to serve, I don't know how many people envy me." ”
Mama Chen sighed, "Girl, be careful outside." Don't let people bully you. ”
"No, no." Pei Jinyao waved his hand, "I'm a god, who dares to bully me." ”
Mama Chen didn't say anything more, and served more carefully.
turned off the lights, Pei Jinyao lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.
Witches are also rare in Daqi. But as soon as someone is found to be harming people with witchcraft, the warlocks will eradicate it completely. And since Great Xia has lost the Divine Machine Division, they are all immortals of Taoist temples everywhere to catch demons and drive away ghosts. Pei Jinyao has been here for three or four months, but she has never heard of any witchcraft rampant.
Maybe it's because she can't reach it in the inner house.
In any case, as a divine envoy, we will never allow witchcraft to be a disaster for the world.
Pei Jinyao turned over. It's one thing to think, it's another thing to do. She is a half-hung person with only fur, what do you use to fight with others? There are also two big troubles that need to be solved urgently, Lu Jingzhen and Lu Lang. The Codex of the Ancestors must not be wasted, and it must be practiced seriously starting tomorrow. Pei Jinyao turned over again, and Yan Huangyu, always dreaming that she couldn't go crazy? Why don't you draw a talisman and send it to him......
