Chapter 52: The Heart of a Man and a Beast
Mai Jiu almost didn't sleep all night, lying with his eyes closed until dawn, as long as Sang Huai'an next to him moved slightly, Mai Jiu opened his eyes and looked.
It was already bright outside, Sang Huaian turned over and sat up, he had too many things to do.
Just as he was about to stand up, Sang Huai'an's hand was grabbed by a strange force behind him, making him unable to move his arm.
He looked back and saw Mai Jiuping lying on the bed with two dark circles under his eyes and staring at him with wide eyes, which was really a little terrifying.
"I'll go too.." Mai Jiu said these three words lightly.
Sang Huai'an turned his head with white eyes, he vigorously pushed away Mai Jiu's hand and said helplessly: "This king is not going to play. ”
Mai Jiu sat up with her arms propped up, moved her lower body towards the edge of the bed, she put on her shoes seriously, and ordered her to bring the washing water immediately.
When dressing, Mai Jiu specially chose a round-necked robe, and when he put on his makeup and hair, he ordered that he only need to tie his hair up high today.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she looked heroic and handsome, and she turned her body confidently and looked at Sang Huai'an handsomely.
At this time, Sang Huai'an stood straight and opened his arms, waiting for Chengde to sort out his clothes for him.
Sang Huai'an was wearing a dark color trolling, with a delicate and atmospheric gold thread trim embroidery embroidered all over his body, his eyebrows were full of sharpness, and his eyes also exuded a cold and cold essence.
Mai Jiu's eyes darkened and looked down at herself, she pursed her lips and looked up at Sang Huai'an, and after a glance, her lips pursed a little more.
The changes in Mai Jiu's expression were all visible to Sang Huai'an, and Chengde wrapped the belt around the prince's waist, and after the costume was finished, Chengde stood aside silently.
Sang Huai'an put down his arm and said with an evil smile: "What? Do you think this king is too handsome to compare you to you? ”
Mai Jiu propped her elbows onto the dresser, and she turned her head away and bit her nails in frustration.
Chengde handed over the prince's sword, and Sang Huai'an took it and looked at Mai Jiu and shouted, "Let's go, go to your shop first." With that, he turned his head and strode towards the door.
Seeing that Sang Huai'an didn't look back, Mai Jiu hurriedly stood up and hurriedly followed, and after following up, he only heard Sang Huai'an say coldly: "Today, you can only follow behind this king like this, don't say more, ask more, and make trouble for this king." ”
Mai Jiu nodded obediently.
She couldn't sleep last night thinking about some things, she connected many things, and there were so many puzzles that she couldn't wait to find out.
When they came to the store, Rui Qiang and Zhao Yang hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and Mai Jiu looked at the two of them in the room and asked directly, "Do you still have contact with Wu Muyan?" ”
Zhaoyang and Ruiqiang stared at each other.
Zhaoyang poked Ruiqiang's arm and said, "Say it." ”
Ruiqiang's face wrinkled, and he shook his head vigorously with his neck curled.
Mai Jiu looked at Zhaoyang on the left and Ruiqiang on the right, and the two of them quit each other like playing table tennis.
"You say, you're articulate."
"Oh, let's just say it, you're in a clear mind."
Mai Jiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said angrily: "What's the matter! Tell me both of you! ”
This roar directly frightened the two of them to shut up, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down their foreheads.
Rui Qiang glanced at the prince standing next to Mai Jiu, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and got closer to Mai Jiu and then whispered: "Boss, you... Come over with the little one, and the little one will talk to you secretly. ”
?
Hearing this, Mai Jiu squinted at Sang Huai'an for the first time, and Sang Huai'an looked at the front of him, and he didn't seem to be interested in it at all.
At this time, Sang Huai'an's heart is...
Well? What the! You don't let this king listen, okay, what are you hiding from this king?
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing is naturally very good, and he listened to all the words he just said into his ears.
Mai Jiu pointed to the account room in the back room and said very quickly: "I'll come as soon as I go, you can sit as you please, and you'll be back immediately." After speaking, Mai Jiu also instructed Zhaoyang to make a pot of Biluochun for the prince, saying that the prince loves to drink.
Seeing that the boss followed Ruiqiang to the inner room of the account, Zhaoyang raised his face and looked at Sang Huai'an with an embarrassed smile and said, "Lord Wang... Sit down, and the little one will make you tea. With that, he ran away like a rabbit.
After coming to the account room, Rui Qiang still glanced out of the door uneasily, and saw that the prince had already sat down, so he closed the door with peace of mind.
Mai Jiu slapped Rui Qiang vigorously, and said anxiously: "Don't sell it, okay, what did Wu Muyan tell you about this thing?" ”
"Just..."Rui Qiang wanted to speak and stopped, obviously not mentally prepared and didn't know how to speak.
Mai Jiu raised his fist the size of a sandbag and threatened, "Do you want to invite the prince to come in and listen?" ”
Ruiqiang hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't don't, don't be, the small one is, that is... It's just..."Ruiqiang wanted to speak again and stopped.
Mai Jiu didn't plan to listen anymore, she reached out to open the door, but Rui Qiang saw it and quickly blocked it in front of Mai Jiu.
Mai Jiu was furious inside, her hand reaching for the door was clenched into a fist, and her head was on fire.
Rui Qiang finally spoke: "It was the day Brother Mu Yan first came, after the door was closed, I invited him and Zhaoyang to go to the house for a drink, he was probably... Drunk and said a lot of inappropriate things. ”
Mai Jiu withdrew his hand and asked suspiciously, "What are the inappropriate words?" ”
"It's about you..."After Rui Qiang finished saying this, he was so frightened that he leaned back against the door, his face turned away, and he closed his eyes nervously.
Outside the house, Sang Huai'an was propping his hands on the table, leaning out and listening to the conversation between the two in the room with his ears in the inner room.
Mai Jiu's face was embarrassed, she stretched out her hand to herself and asked with a puzzled face, "Me?" ”
She thought in her heart that she and this fake wooden words, she couldn't fight with eight poles, what other inappropriate things could she say, it was so difficult that she could still like me..?!
Rui Qiang continued: "Brother Mu Yan probably drank too much, he said that since he saw you in the alley that day, he has been deeply attracted to you... Say that you look like the moon and the country, and the country is fragrant.... ”
Zhaoyang finished making Biluochun and walked out of the backyard, and Sang Huai'an, who heard the movement, hurriedly sat down and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
After listening to the affectionate confession, Mai Jiu felt that her ears had been insulted, and she bared her teeth in disgust.
"Brother Mu Yan probably died after knowing that you were the princess, and asked us to tell you that he was gone." After finishing speaking, Ruiqiang sighed deeply, his face full of pity.
Mai Jiu looked at Rui Qiang with a look of pity, and recalled that the person in front of him just now shouted one by one.
She scratched the back of her neck and asked with a smile: "After just a meal, you have established a deep revolutionary friendship?" Yes? ”
What if she told Ruiqiang Zhaoyang's second brother, Wu Muyan, that he was a big villain who did all kinds of evil and wanted to endanger Da'an...
Mai Jiu put his hand on Rui Qiang's shoulder, which directly scared Rui Qiang's legs to collapse down.
Mai Jiu told Rui Qiang everything she knew, and Rui Qiang directly covered his mouth in shock, the brother Mu Yan who drank and had fun with them in the past and spoke freely was actually a scheming person.
Outside the house, Sang Huai'an was anxiously biting his nails, his expression was solemn, he only heard half of the conversation in the house, and at this time he cursed angrily in his heart why he had to carry him, what could not be listened to.
Mai Jiu finally understood that Wu Muyan's appearance of self-explosion was to disgust her, and by the way, he was proving that he was so powerful that under your noses, you just couldn't catch it.
Thinking of this, Mai Jiu kicked open the door angrily, and as soon as he stepped out, he saw Sang Huai'an's cursed eyes, as if his whole body was bubbling black gas outward.
Mai Jiu scratched his head and said, "I'll talk to you slowly on the way." ”
The two sat on their horses and walked towards the rocky road, and Mai Jiu told Sang Huai'an the general situation of the matter succinctly.
I only heard Sang Huai'an let out a faint "oh", but Mai Jiu felt that the person behind him waved the reins with much more force.
Soon arrived at the rocky road, Mai Jiu jumped off the horse as if he had returned to his own house and went straight to Aunt Wang's house.
Aunt Wang raised her eyes and looked up thinking about something: "Speaking of strangeness, there is one thing that is quite strange. ”
Mai Jiu and Sang Huai'an were both interested, and listened with their ears pricked up.
"Yan'er, I like small animals since I was a child, and sometimes I love a little bird so much, his father saw that he liked it so much, so he went to the forest to hunt birds and came back to Yan'er to raise and play."
Aunt Wang touched her face and hissed and continued: "But every time I can see the carcass of a bird near his house, once his father hit a yellow bird, and when I came back, I happened to have a face-to-face with him, but it didn't take long for the bird to die and throw it near their house." ”
Mai Jiu frowned, isn't this a little too cruel for a child with an IQ of seven or eight years old.
She asked, confused, "How long has this been going on?" Are you sure that it was the words that were done? ”
Sang Huai'an turned his head and saw Mai Jiu's solemn look, what if he said yes, say less and ask less?
Aunt Wang thought for a while: "Hmm... It seems that this situation only happened after Yan'er was sixteen years old. ”
After speaking, Aunt Wang waved her hand and continued: "Oh, when you asked me like this, it may be that his father did it, I was abrupt." ”
Mai Jiu seemed to think of something and continued to ask, "What other offensive behaviors does that Yan have?" ”
Aunt Wang shook her head: "I don't see him a few times on weekdays, and my impression of him is that he is well-behaved and sensible. ”
Sang Huai'an's eyes never left Mai Jiu, she saw that Mai Jiu was stunned as if she was thinking about something, so she asked, "But what's wrong?" ”
Mai Jiu was pulled back to her thoughts by Sang Huai'an's voice, she turned her head and replied, "Let's talk about it later." ”
The two walked out of Aunt Wang's house, Mai Jiu turned around and waved his hand to Aunt Wang, and after turning back, he only heard Sang Huaian say lightly: "You can tell this king." ”
Mai Jiu shook her head, now she wasn't sure if it was what she thought, and she needed to know more about it.
The two came to the house again, and when Mai Jiuyi opened his mouth to say that he wanted to ask about Yan'er, he saw that the woman's smiling face just now instantly pulled down.
Mai Jiu noticed the abnormality, and she asked directly, "Did Yan'er do anything?" ”
The woman nodded and invited them both into the house.
The woman sat on a stool, her hands on her thighs and clenched tightly.
"My family Xi'er used to be friends with his children, and when they were young, the two children often played together, and once the two of them went out to play until dark and didn't come back, so everyone went to look for it, and later found it in the forest on the edge of the city."
At the mention of the woman, she began to feel a little uneasy, and her hands rubbed together on her thighs.
"I will never forget the scene of that day in my life, my Xi'er lay on the ground motionless, and his children sat next to him and drew on the ground with stones."
The woman's body trembled a little, but you could imagine how terrible it was in her mind.
"At first, I thought that Xi'er was tired of playing and fell asleep, but... When I got home, I saw it by candlelight. Hee-a's neck... It's all finger marks... Yes, it was their children who pinched it! It was their children who stunned Xi'er!! At the end of the day, the woman's mood was a little impatient.
Hearing this, Mai Jiu and Sang Huai'an turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and all this was right.
After a while the woman calmed down, and with trembling fingers, she took the cup on the table and drank it down.
"Since then, I haven't seen his child again, and I don't allow my family Xi'er to play with him again, after that incident, it was not unexpected at all, his child is a murderer, and it is only a matter of time."
After saying goodbye to the woman, Sang Huai'an and Mai Jiu went straight to Dali Temple, and after hearing this, they were even more sure that Father Yan was deliberately hiding some things, and he knew that it was far more than these.
