Chapter 13: The Mysterious Man
When he slept until the third watch, Yusheng was woken up by the sound of rustling outside the temple, and when he got up to look, a dark shadow flashed outside the door in an instant.
I noticed something strange in my heart, and then looked at the sleepy Ying Zhichu, and chased him out.
In an instant, silence returned to the temple, and a man in dark clothes floated in.
His footwork was swift and brisk, like a cloud of black mist descending into the Night Temple.
The man's figure was slender and straight, and his face was covered with a black veil.
He approached her unhurriedly, peach blossom eyes staring at her sleeping face, a hint of detachment between his eyebrows.
Ying Zhichu lay on the grass unnoticed, his brocade robe was slightly wrinkled, and a few strands of broken hair were scattered on his forehead, full of distress.
"I didn't want to come, but for Ling Zun's sake...... It's rude. He muttered to himself, reaching for her to hug her.
As soon as he was about to get closer, he was kicked away by her.
He was quick to react and dodged sideways.
The surprise between his eyebrows disappeared, and he glanced at her who was already sitting down funny, and said, "Such a favor will take revenge, but it will open my eyes." ”
Ying Zhichu gasped slightly, and also stared at him, but he didn't know who was behind the veil, and he was silent for a while.
The man knew what she was thinking, and chuckled: "I came to save you, but I scared you, why don't you keep this hand and deal with the little flower just now?" ”
“…… Don't work hard. ”
What the? A trace of anger flowed through the man's heart, and he asked, "You're not leaving?" ”
Ying Zhichu raised his face and said, "I have my own legs, and I will walk when it's time to go." ”
The man's eyes were full of contempt, and he said coldly: "A famous lady, but she is willing to stay with an unknown man, Miss Liang is really worthy of her 'fame'." ”
Ying Zhichu didn't know why the man knew his identity, so he only looked at him lightly and said, "Son, go slowly." ”
A trace of unknown fire accumulated in the man's chest, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Okay." With that, he quickly dodged and pinched her jaw, making her unable to move.
Ying Zhichu frowned slightly, but did not struggle.
The man's angry eyes became cold, and he said coldly: "Miss Liang knows that her reputation is also related to others, since you don't know kindness, I will give you a ride here." ”
A small pill slid down his fingertips and down her throat, and she coughed twice and was forced to swallow it.
He patted his palms in satisfaction, as if disgusted with her.
"It's good to do it yourself." He stopped looking at her, turned away, and finally said lightly, "You don't use the name Liang Zhen in the future, you don't deserve it." ”
In an instant, he disappeared into the black mist.
Ying Zhichu lowered his head and pounded his chest lightly, but he couldn't spit it out.
I don't know what the man gave her to eat, she opened her mouth to make a sound.
But he found that he could no longer speak.
A chill poured into her body.
——
The first bloom of the morning light is still shy, and the water droplets on the blades of grass quietly emerge, guarding the heaven and earth within its earth.
The hustle and bustle outside the temple shattered the unique silence of Chu Chen, and Ying Zhi frowned lightly, and slowly woke up after a while.
She subconsciously glanced at the old temple, it was empty, her fingers involuntarily covered her neck, and she coughed lightly but still couldn't make a sound.
Most of last night's luck was poured out, and my heart couldn't help but tremble and fall empty.
Lost your voice?
A wave of resentment and hopelessness welled up in my heart.
The chatter outside the temple was accompanied by her light coughing sound gradually decreasing, as if she hesitated for a moment, before a knock sounded.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
Ying Zhichu looked at the door and found that the temple door was closed, and a figure faintly appeared on the dilapidated window paper, presumably a beggar from last night.
She put away her thoughts, gently patted the grass ash on her clothes, and opened the door gently.
It was really the little beggar from last night - Yusheng.
But behind him stood dozens of beggars, all in rags, and their little faces were dirty.
The little beggars were about the same age, in their early thirteen or fourteenth years, and they all craned their necks to look at her curiously, and saw that she was dressed in a splendid shirt, with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, and there was yearning, envy, and even respect in her eyes......
Ying Zhichu glanced at everyone slightly, felt rude, and bowed his head slightly.
Yusheng couldn't help but scratch his head, it was the first time he saw the abducted person not only not annoyed but also saluted him, he couldn't adapt to it for a while, so he could only swallow the typed draft and speak again.
"What, my name is Yusheng, these brothers are all my own brothers, you don't have to be afraid, we have no malice."
Ying Zhichu nodded, which was an answer.
A little beggar came over with a cloth bag and said to Yusheng: "Boss, call this aunt...... Son, change his clothes, this one on his body is too dazzling, I begged from Grandma Liu for what her son was wearing, called aunt...... Childe put it on, otherwise she will be too eye-catching to go out of the city with us~"
Yu Sheng glared at the beggar and shouted, "What to change!" ”
I slandered in my heart: Do you know who she is? Let her wear the clothes worn by other men, and if that man knows about it, it will be good for you.
The little beggar was yelled at and felt aggrieved, "oh" and stepped aside, feeling the cloth bag in his hand and reluctant to give up, Grandma Liu's son is a scholar, although he is not wearing brocade clothes and jade satin, but it is also good material, at least he is much better than them, he is kind, but the boss's disgust makes the little beggar depressed.
Ying Zhichu listened to their conversation, and caught two words in his ears: out of the city?
Do they want to take themselves out of town?
She looked at Yusheng with doubts in her eyes.
They called him Boss, and apparently the beggars were at his command.
But this is obviously a small child, two years younger than her, what do they want to do when they take her away?
She was suspicious, but she didn't move.
After Yusheng finished yelling at the little beggar, he turned his head and found Ying Zhichu's strange appearance, and said: "It's difficult for the son to walk out of the city gate on foot, what if...... We're driving out of town, which makes it even more suspicious, but there's already a driver outside the city and he'll get you out safely. ”
Ying Zhichu lowered his eyes slightly, walked down two steps of the steps, took the dog beating stick in his hand, and wrote on the ground: Who are you?
Yusheng didn't notice that the woman couldn't speak, only looked at the words on the ground, blinked and said: "The sky is the quilt, the earth is the paving, and the people in the world are the parents." As Childe can see, we are just beggars. ”
The corners of Ying Zhichu's lips were lightly raised, and he continued to write: The road is facing the sky, and each one goes to one side.
After that, he was waiting for Yusheng's reaction.
Many little beggars gathered around Yusheng, and he raised his hand slightly, and besieged Ying Zhichu.
Her heart tightened, and she didn't move as she held the dog-beating stick.
She knew that there were only teenage children in front of her, and she couldn't act rashly.
However, it is absolutely impossible to leave Jinjia City.
