Chapter 116. First
"Miss, we're here!"
As she spoke, Fluttershy lifted the curtains.
I let out a secret breath to ease my resentment and nodded at Fluttershy.
When I entered the ready-to-wear store, I chose more than a dozen sets of clothes in one go, and pretended to enter the back room to try them on.
Ever since Fluttershy came to me, I've asked her to do many things for me, but two things are exceptions.
One is to ride in the same carriage, and the other is to change clothes.
When Fluttershy saw that I didn't betray her about anything else, she just thought it was my personal habit and never doubted it.
In the back room, I changed into a dark blue Luo skirt and flashed into the backyard of the store.
"Girl, what are you?"
In the courtyard, a lady who was fetching water from a well was stunned for a moment when she saw me breaking into the backyard.
"I ...... I'd like to borrow a latrine......"
I said with a little shyness.
"That's ...... so"
The eldest lady stretched her eyebrows and smiled
"The latrine is outside the hospital...... Go out the back door over there, turn left and walk up one hundred and eighty steps! ”
I thanked her and left from behind.
Naturally, I didn't want to go to any latrine.
Yesterday, the Qingdai people came with news from the palace, saying that Yunhua Mountain was in chaos, and Shen Yan, who had been practicing in the mountains all the year round, was killed by the disciples.
Because of his personal grudge with Shen Yan, Yue Xiongqi issued an edict to search for Yunhua's disciples and wanted to thank him.
The reason why I attach so much importance to this matter is only because Shen Yan is a big disciple of the Fengli Sect, and strictly speaking, I should call her a teacher.
Although Shen Yan has been practicing evil skills since he practiced evil skills, he is no longer a member of my Feng Sect, but Yunhua Mountain is also a holy place of my sect no matter how I say it.
After the country was broken, although the master never showed up again, but if such a big thing happened, his old man would definitely go to deal with the aftermath in person.
If I can rush to Yunhua Mountain in time to meet Master, there will be hope when I return to Ah Ran.
It's just that there are many uncertainties in this matter, and if I rush forward, I am afraid that something will happen.
And Leng Yihan keeps a close eye on me, and my every move is under his control.
If I do escape, he will surely arrest me, and my situation will be even more critical.
So I came up with a compromise solution, which was to use the Shadow Butterfly, which I had been training for some time, to send a message to Yunhua Mountain, informing Master of my location and asking him to meet him at a teahouse in the West Market today.
If Master is really in Yunhua Mountain, he will definitely come to save me.
It was almost time for me to leave the backyard of the ready-to-wear store, turn into a nearby market, enter the pre-agreed teahouse, order a pot of tea, and wait.
I don't know how effective the shadow butterfly I domesticated is, and I don't know if the master is in Yunhua Mountain, so I am very anxious.
If it really goes well this time, I may be able to return to Ah Ran.
If that were the case, it would be great!
For so many years, I have been outcast, and I have not thought about him for a moment.
I miss him taking me to see the world outside the East Palace on my birthday; I miss him, I want to cry, I want to cry, I want to laugh, I laugh; I miss him leaving me in the box and wading alone......
Thinking about it, my eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and I took a breath to calm my mind and remind myself of the purpose of my visit.
However, after waiting for nearly half an hour, there was no trace of the master, and the initial hope in my heart turned into frustration.
How so?
Is there a mistake in the transmission of Shadow Butterfly, or is the master not in the original Huashan at all?
But I couldn't stay any longer, and Fluttershy would be suspicious.
If Leng Yihan learns of my abnormal behavior today, it will be even more difficult for me to act in the future.
It's better to go back and think about it for the long haul first.
I went back the way I came, through the backyard of the ready-to-wear store and back to the back of the store.
Just as she breathes a sigh of relief, she hears Fluttershy gently slam on the door.
"Miss, can you try it? Need help from a slave? ”
I didn't answer, and went straight back to the front room of the store.
I took out four or five of the dozen or so clothes, and I said slowly
"Here are a few pieces that don't particularly fit, and the rest will be ......"
Fluttershy responds and pays the shopkeeper.
The group was just about to leave, but they heard a commotion in the street market outside, accompanied by the exclamation of a woman.
My entourage immediately became nervous and protected me behind me.
I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I told them to disperse.
When I left the store, I saw a tall black horse galloping from the south side of the street, and many pedestrians were scattered along the way.
The horse seemed to have something on its back.
The dark horse ran towards us at great speed, but he fell down with a bow on his front legs.
The things it was carrying on its back also slammed into the ground.
Seeing that the horse was no longer moving, the people who had just fled in all directions gathered together and chattered in a circle.
The horse, who was very tired, saw that he was surrounded by men, but with a neigh, he jumped up from the ground again.
The horses were restless, but they did not look frightened. It's just jumping and snorting in a circle of people, not letting people approach.
Some in the crowd sighed, some pointed, and one seemed to step forward.
But as soon as he took a step, the horse let out a long roar, raised its front hooves and kicked the man in the chest, and the crowd hurried back a few steps.
And I saw that there was a person on the ground surrounded by the crowd.
It turned out that the horse was not a thing, but a person.
The man lay motionless on the ground, his clothes so dirty that he could not make out the color.
The other passers-by saw that the horse was extremely tired, but it was still wounded, and they took out their sticks and shovels out of nowhere and stepped forward to fight the horse.
I couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Stop! ”
Then, despite the guards' obstruction, he squeezed into the innermost layer of the crowd.
"Oh, little girl, you have to be careful, this horse is frightened, and it is easy to hurt people!"
A man with a shovel who wanted to beat the horse said worriedly.
"Then the horse is not shocked!"
I corrected
"He's just protecting the Lord."
I cautiously reached forward and tried to touch the horse's head, trying to soothe it.
The horse neighed again, clearly warning me.
I whispered to it
"Horses, horses, I'm not a bad person. I know you're trying to protect your master, and I'm here to help him. If you stop you like this, I won't be able to save your master! ”
As I spoke, I quietly put my hand on its head.
"You must be tired, right? Then I'll sing you a little song, okay? Reward you for running thousands of miles to the Savior. ”
The crowd was amazed at this scene, but I had no time to pay attention to them, and approached the horse's ear, and casually made up a nursery rhyme that did not rhyme, and sang it softly
"One peach blossom is red at the beginning, and two peach blossoms are rippling branches. The three-petal peach blossom dances with the wind, and the four-petal peach blossom smiles. The five-petal peach blossom solves the spring, and the spring does not understand the flower language. Only teach peach blossoms to go to spring water, but how do you know that spring water is also ruthless......"
I sang and quietly performed my magic spell, and the horse quickly settled down and lay down gently on the ground, as if asleep.
Sleep, sleep, you've done your mission.
The nursery rhyme was about to be finished, but my arm suddenly tightened.
When he turned his head, he was unsuspectingly bumped into a pair of eyes as clear as a lake.
Such eyes should be perceptive and undisturbed, but for some reason, there are ripples now, and the emotions in them seem to be overflowing.
What beautiful eyes!
In addition to Ah Ran, it was the first time I had seen such a breathtaking pair of eyes.
In my heart, it seems that a strange feeling suddenly wells up, like warm but not warm, like sweet but not sweet, stirring so much that even my heartbeat is a few beats faster.
I...... What's wrong with me?
Sensing his own abnormality, he remembered that his wrist was still held in the hand of the person in front of him.
The hand slowly radiated heat through my sleeve, teaching me to heat my cheeks.
It was the first time I had been grabbed by a stranger like this, and I just felt uncomfortable, and I wanted to push him away but I couldn't move, just stared into his eyes.
His eyes are so pretty!
Gradually, I realized that it was not only me who seemed to be panicked, but the person in front of me was also shaking his head like me, looking back at me without saying a word, and his eyes did not deviate in the slightest.
My body gradually stiffened, and I didn't know what to do.
Who is this person?
I just glanced at him, how could I feel so strange?
Before I could figure out the answer, the man let go, not because he was rude, but because he fainted.
"Childe!?"
I was startled and gave him a nudge and realized that he had injuries.
I tried to lift him up, but he didn't.
Inadvertently glancing at the saber at his waist, my heart jumped, and even if I made a decision
"Someone, send him to the hospital!"
The attendant stepped forward and helped him into the carriage and took him to the infirmary.
Lang Zhong said that the injuries on his body were fine, but he was just too tired, and he could be healed by taking a few pills to recuperate.
During the consultation, the boy was still unconscious and never woke up.
Even though he's sick, I'm secretly happy and turns to Fluttershy
"Fluttershy, let's take him back."
"Take it back? Where to take it back? General's Mansion?! Fluttershy is surprised.
"Naturally, it's the General's Mansion, otherwise where else could it be?"
Fluttershy is even more surprised when I affirm it.
"He's just a journeyman, and his origin is unknown. We found Langzhong for him, and it is already considered benevolent and righteous, if we bring it back to the house, we don't say anything else, I'm afraid the general's side will ......"
"You don't have to worry about him, come and talk to him......"
"But ......"
"Haven't come yet, send Childe to the car?"
I interrupted her and spoke to the guard. The guards don't do as Fluttershy does.
