Chapter 71: Inquiring
"If you knew my identity beforehand, would you be so kind?"
Xiaobai has heard the word kindness too many times, no matter what she does, the praise she gets can never escape the word kindness, "Sister doesn't know, I'm such a person, no matter what you do, as long as you go to my small restaurant, you can eat and sleep well, and you can drink soup and medicine when you are sick, and I can send some silver when I am short of money, and I will lead me to the county magistrate if I have difficulties, I am the second lady of the Lin Mansion, and I can't discredit the Lin Mansion." ”
"It's rare to hear you say in person, you are the second lady of the Lin family, do you want to use your identity to oppress people?"
"I didn't think so." Xiaobai shook his head, "I just want to tell my sister that living in a family with an illusory identity has too many bodies that can't help themselves, not to mention that the prince still lives in the county king's mansion, facing such a father and stepmother, even if he really does something wrong, it is not intentional, my sister is a good person, don't be deceived by those so-called truths." ”
An ethereal identity? In spite of oneself? The so-called truth? The woman smiled and lamented, "But we never need a reason." ”
Xiaobai's hands tightened and said, "I'm willing to pay ten times the price, just ask my sister to tell me the direction where he fell off the cliff." ”
"Little girl! Bite off more than one can chew! The man scoffed.
The woman smiled: "We have to leave, if you are in hot pursuit, it will cause us trouble, why don't we discuss, can you leave with your friends?" Sister really doesn't want to kill you. ”
Yu Ke coughed violently, Xiao Bai knew that if she really wanted to let this pair of men and women leave, she might not even be able to find Guo Zhaoyang's body, she was very familiar with this place, whether it was tracking or escaping, it was no problem, but Yu Ke was injured, she couldn't leave him, and he had suffered a lot, if he really died here, she had a bad conscience.
"Have you figured it out?"
"Sister, I...
The woman narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, "Look at what you mean, you won't let us go?" Xiaobai, why bother? I really don't want to kill you. ”
"I don't want to die either." The pain from the wound made Xiaobai's brain feel like it was about to explode.
The woman burst out laughing, "Wait, someone's coming." The man was alert, "More than one." The woman got up and looked at the jungle that covered the sky and the sun, and the unknown danger rushed to her face, and the atmosphere instantly became depressing. Come on. The man said.
Seeing the woman nodding, Xiaobai subconsciously hugged her legs, but before she could speak, she was kicked open by the man and hit Yu Ke hard, the wound was split again, and her clothes were stained red with blood all of a sudden.
"Xiaobai!" Yu Ke shouted heartbreakingly, obviously he and Xiaobai had only met a few times, how could he let such a thin girl take risks for himself?
The man picked up the woman and said coldly, "It's really in the way!" So saying, he jumped on the trunk of the tree and disappeared.
It was only now that Xiaobai felt what real powerlessness was, this was a moment related to a person's life and death, but she couldn't do anything, she cried bitterly and said to Yu Ke: "I can't find it, right?" I'm sorry! I'm really sorry. ”
Yu Ke held her shoulder, compared to Guo Zhaoyang, who was missing, Xiaobai at this moment made his heart hurt even more, "It's not your fault, I shouldn't have told you about it, and I made you take risks, I'm sorry." ”
Just when the two didn't know what to do, there was a sound from the canopy above their heads, and then in the darkness, the two people fell down heavily, Xiaobai stabilized his mind and found that it was the husband and wife who had left just now.
"The barley people, the rules are bigger than the sky, and if you leave the clan without permission, there is only one way to die." The familiar voice fell lightly on Xiaobai's heart. It's him, how could he come? "It's dead."
A simple sentence completely shattered Xiaobai's hope. "How so? They weren't done yet. ”
Feng Mi floated from the air, landed lightly opposite Xiaobai, looked at the husband and wife who had died between the two, and said, "How do you know them?" ”
"You killed them?"
"It's suicide."
Of course, he had no reason to kill them, but it was impossible for Xiao Bai to ask Guo Zhaoyang's whereabouts, "They may be the last people to see the prince of the county king's mansion." Xiaobai said.
"Guo Zhaoyang." Feng Mi's eyes were cold, if he hadn't entered the Fu Di to find Xiaobai, it would have been impossible to learn the news from the mouth of the dragon shadow guard who rushed over, "What did they tell you?" ”
"The prince has fallen off the cliff, but they don't want to say which direction, eighth master, please, can you help us find it?" The wound on Xiaobai's arm kept oozing blood, but she didn't care about herself at all, but was worried about someone she didn't know at all.
Feng Mi looked at Yu Ke who was standing behind, frowned and said, "Their lives are lives, isn't your life worth mentioning?" Let me see your injuries. ”
Xiaobai was a little irritable, and Feng Mi looked like she was teaching people again, she shook off Feng Mi's hand and said, "I'm fine, the whereabouts of the son of the world are more important now, please, help us find it, okay?" ”
"What if he's really dead?" In Feng Mi's eyes, the affairs of the county king's mansion are not worth mentioning at all, "Without him, there are others, they are just wastes that do not work for nothing." ”
"He's not!" Yu Ke suddenly shouted, "He dropped out of the school because Wen Qing framed him, but he was grateful to Wen Qing for raising him and chose to bear everything silently, and he didn't live in a mess, he hid in Taixue and discussed with his master all these years, no worse than the students in those schools!" ”
"But he still hasn't done what a son should do." Feng Mi's tone did not have a trace of emotion.
Yu Ke didn't know who the person in front of him was, but in this world, many people would be confused by the surface, since he was not as transparent as Xiaobai, he was also willing to explain, "He has done a lot, but without exception it has become Wen Qing's credit, he has a lot of helplessness, just like this flood, although he has no silver, but he has been helping those victims rebuild their homes at Lanzhou Ferry, and even eats and lives with the officers and soldiers of the garrison, when he can help, he has never refused!" ”
These things, if Yu Ke doesn't talk about them, no one will know, Xiaobai knows that Yu Ke has been gone for a long time, if she doesn't really care about Guo Zhaoyang, she can't know this, she chooses to believe it. "We'll find him."
"Where are you going?" Feng Mi stopped Xiao Bai, "The barley people will not let their prey live, don't waste your efforts." ”
"Since the eighth master is unwilling, please leave!"
"Do you feel like you're not living hard enough? Do you have to be nosy? Is it worth it? ”
"It's worth it!" Xiaobai looked up at him, with unwavering belief in his eyes, "For the sake of friends, everything is worth it." ”
Friend? Feng Mi didn't know what to say for a while. He remembered many years ago, when he was a child, there seemed to be so many people around him, playing with him all day long, saying that there were blessings and hardships, but why did they all disappear later? One had an accident and didn't know him again, and the other has not been heard from until now, only Changyu Youle, respects and admires him, never says any friends, but always accompanies him.
Xiaobai tore off the edge of his clothes, bandaged his wound briefly, and said softly: "In this life, there must be a few people who make you willing to go to the trouble for him." ”
"As far as you are concerned, Guo Zhaoyang, right?" Feng Mi asked.
"He is Young Master Yu's only friend."
Feng Mi's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "What does it have to do with you!" Is it worth risking your life and risking your life? ”
"You don't understand."
Seeing Xiao Bai's shining eyes, Feng Mi suddenly understood that sticking a knife in the ribs for his friends was ordinary for them, but for Xiao Bai, it was rare.
"I can't help it." Feng Mi finally compromised.
For some reason, Xiaobai felt that the Feng Mi he met this time was even more strange, "Why are you here?" ”
