Chapter 31: Embarrassment
After Bai Rong finally complied with her request, Ruoxin exhaled lightly, restrained the intimidating and stern look on her face, and walked towards the east gate with him again.
Pedestrians on the road came and went in a hurry, and they just slowed down and walked slowly. Bai Rong was already silent by nature, but now he was even more silent, obviously still frustrated by what she forced him to agree to.
Ruoxin knew that he still needed some time to come to terms with this fact. Bai Rong has received the teachings of life and death loyalty since he was a child, protecting his master when he is alive and going to Huangquan with his master when he dies, just like his master. Ruoxin's proposal violated the oath he had made when he became her dead soldier, but no matter what, Ruoxin couldn't bear to see such a dedicated protector for her to accompany her to die at a young age.
Why die if you can live well?
Knowing that Bai Rong was in a bad mood at the moment, Ruoxin didn't bother him, and the silent atmosphere between the two remained until Ruoxin pulled the horse out of the embroidery building.
The embroidery building is the embroidery building where Ruoxin often sells embroidery for Bai Qingyin. Its shop is located in a deep alley not far from West Street, and its main customers on weekdays are the prostitutes in the West Street Hualou Dance Workshop. The passenger flow is fixed, so although it is not in the business center of Wanchun County, it is also operating well. It's just that the alley where it is located is long and there are not many shops, so it is usually early, and there are no people coming and going.
Walking in the alley of the embroidery building, Ruoxin suddenly heard the sound of porcelain hitting at the fork in the alley.
At this time, the sky is almost dusk, and the quiet alleys seem even more lonely, so the crisp sound of porcelain clashing is also very clear at this time.
Ruoxin glanced at it by chance and saw a person squatting in the dark corner of the fork. The sky was dark, there was no light around, and the person was facing away from her, unable to see his face clearly, Ruoxin thought in her heart that maybe he was just a homeless homeless man.
After walking a few steps outside, suddenly the sound of many people calling came from the street outside the alley.
"Young master, young master." An anxious call came from far and near. Then, Ruoxin saw a group of people dressed in uniform and watching some familiar people hurriedly running through the street. One of the old men turned his head to look inside as he passed through the alley, his expression anxious and panicked.
It's very familiar, so familiar that it looks like I saw it just a few days ago.
Where is it?
Ruoxin paused, pondered for a moment, and a picture flashed through her mind.
The face of an arrogant, high-flying young man jumped out.
Ruoxin's eyes lit up.
It's the big young master I saw in Fuming Building.
The group of servants who were serving him at the time were dressed in uniform clothes, and the old man was the old butler who was kicked to the ground by him.
I really didn't expect to run into him again. Although Wanchun County is not as prosperous as the capital, it is also a county town with many people and many people. It's just that Ruoxin doesn't have a good impression of that eldest young master, so even if she knows his identity, she has no other plans to associate with him.
Just as she was about to move forward, a vague smell stopped her steps.
What blew lightly with the wind was the stench emitted by the medicine that Ruoxin gave to Guan Jingtianxia in Fuming Lou at the beginning.
Haven't solved it yet?
But these medicines made by Guo Haoxuan in private are all tricks, and the effect of the drugs is only two days at most. It stands to reason that the eldest young master should also return to normal, how can it ......
Ruoxin couldn't help but look back again.
Although Bai Rong was silent, he still paid attention to Ruoxin at any time. Seeing Ruoxin stop and have a thoughtful expression on her face, Bai Rong was also vigilant, and looked around with cold eyes.
Walking back to the fork in the road, Ruoxin looked at the man hiding in the corner, a cloak covering him from head to tail. At this moment, when I looked at it, I realized that the cloak was precious and exquisite, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford to wear.
Is it really the eldest young master?
The distant call was heard again, and a new group of people ran down the street beyond the alley with their eyes searching.
The cloaked figure seemed to stiffen, shrinking its form even smaller, and moving slightly toward the corner.
Ruoxin squinted her eyes and saw that the man was holding a delicate white porcelain bowl in his hand, but he hesitated but stretched out into the rancid water urn in the corner, but when he reached the mouth of the urn, he retracted it, hesitated for a moment, and then probed back to the water urn with great difficulty.
Slowly walking behind him, Ruoxin opened her mouth and called, "Young Master Guan." ”
Qingyue's voice came from behind him, and Guan Jingtian subconsciously turned his head. Through the brim of the cloak that almost covered half of his cheeks, he saw Ruoxin. Without the slightest hesitation, Guan Jingtian recognized the culprit who made him look like this almost at first sight. His eyes suddenly widened, and Guan Jingtian showed a terrifying look as if he had seen a ghost. The body under the cloak shook suddenly, his hands were weak, and the white porcelain bowl he was holding fell unsteadily, hitting the rancid urn, making a crisp sound.
He hugged his body in panic, his apricot-shaped big black eyes full of fear, clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, "You go away, don't come near me." You go away, you go away......"
Guan Jingtian stared at Ruoxin, for fear that she would take a step closer.
A strong stench spread through the air around him as he spoke. If it weren't for the familiar smell, Ruoxin would really not believe that the person in front of her was the handsome young man who was arrogant and domineering in Fuming Building at that time. That vivid look is now completely gone.
The cape's hat lifted off as Guan Sedum moved, revealing one of his faces. I haven't seen him for a few days, but the eldest young master has lost a lot of weight all of a sudden. The lips are red and the teeth are white, and he is still the same handsome appearance, but his face is embarrassed and haggard, and the already slender chin is now even thinner.
"Demon woman, you go away, you go away." Guan Jingtian still roared boldly with his broken voice, and in a hurry, he even grabbed the fragment of the white porcelain bowl that fell at his hand and threw it at Ruoxin.
Young Master Guan, who hadn't eaten for a few days, didn't have much strength, and the porcelain piece fell less than an arm's length away.
Ruoxin frowned, turned her head and wanted to walk back. After taking a few steps, the roar behind him was quiet, followed by a few faint sobs. Somehow, the face of the little junior brother suddenly appeared in his mind.
A childish smile on his face, I still remember that he was only seven years old when he first entered the school, and the pink carving and jade chisel were very cute, but the thin little body looked much younger than his actual age. When the master brought him to him, the little child's younger brother twisted the corner of his little clothes and shyly called her "senior sister" in a tender and soft voice. The master treated him coldly, but he didn't care, just a little hand pulled the corner of her clothes and shyly followed her every day, and the call in his soft voice changed from "senior sister" to "Ah Li sister", just to be closer to her. The little junior brother almost always had a shy smile in her memory, but only that time, when he didn't return to leave the teacher's door, his almost hoarse cry has always been remembered in her heart.
In the dream, I also seemed to be able to see the little junior brother staying alone on the mountain, hugging himself helplessly and sobbing in fear in the middle of the night.
The memory returned, and the slight sobbing sound behind her was still faintly heard, and Ruoxin's heart softened a little for a while.
After all, this eldest young master is one year younger than the junior brother.
Ruoxin spun around and slowly paced back.
Guan Jingtian relaxed his tense and frightened emotions after Ruoxin turned his head and left, and this relaxation, the hunger rushed back again.
He hadn't eaten well for a few days, he didn't know what Ruoxin had eaten for him at that time, not only did his mouth stink to death, but he even smelled the food made by the most powerful cook in the house, and he barely ate a few bites, and even vomited out the sour water, but it was those rancid meals that made him want to take a bite.
He is the eldest young master, the eldest young master who eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, how can he touch those things that pigs and dogs eat?
But he was really hungry, he really couldn't help it after not eating well for several days, he couldn't steal those bad meals in the house and let the people see the joke, so he had to sneak out and find a rancid urn in a very remote alley where no one came and went.
He was really hungry, and now he really couldn't care about the dignity of the eldest young master. With tears in his eyes, Guan Jingtian trembled his hands, picked up the fragments of the large porcelain bowl on the ground, fished out the sour and rancid food from the rancid water urn, closed his eyes and sent those extremely unpleasant and disgusting meals to his mouth.
Just touching his lips, his wrist was slammed, and the porcelain bowl was knocked to the ground along with the rancid rice inside.
Guan Jingtian stared at the food on the ground in a daze, and then looked up in amazement and saw Ruoxin, who didn't know when she walked back.
Anger and hunger made the eldest young master forget his fear, he waved his fist, glared at Ruoxin angrily, gasped a few breaths, and suddenly shouted, "What the hell are you going to do?" Stinky woman, haven't you done enough to fix me? The people in the house all looked at my jokes, and even Mo Mo covered his nose when he saw me and didn't dare to approach, are you happy now? I haven't eaten for a few days, I'm very hungry, but I can't eat the food in the house, and now I can only come out and secretly eat these pigs and dogs. ”
Speaking of the back, the eldest young master's voice gradually lowered, as if he just wanted to vent his grievances, his face showed a look completely different from the pride of that day, his eyes were red, innocent and pitiful.
Ruoxin frowned, she just let this arrogant young master, who always makes things difficult for others, starve for two days and give him a small lesson, and she didn't want to force him to this point. It's just that she didn't know that Guo Haoxuan's medicine this time would last for so long compared to the previous ones, and now it seems that she has really gone too far.
"Witch, what the hell did you give me?" Guan Jingtian raised his head suddenly, stared at Ruoxin with big eyes, grabbed her wrist with all his strength and shouted loudly, he was a little out of breath after he shouted a few times, and his chest rose and fell.
Ruoxin didn't withdraw her hand, but her wrist had been scratched with red marks, and a cold light appeared in Bai Rongjun's eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the long sword in his hand had already crossed in front of Guan Jingtian and was on his elbow that was clenching Ruoxin.
Guan Jingtian had never practiced martial arts, he was shocked by Bai Rong, his arm was numb and he immediately let go, the whole person fell to the side, and he fell dizzy, and the stomachs in his stomach seemed to be twisted together.
He hadn't eaten, and now all he vomited was some sour water and bitter bile. But he kept vomiting, and at the end of the whimper, it was like vomiting in the gut, and it was like a sobbing because of the injury to his self-esteem.
