Chapter 10: The Culprit
On the second day, Zhu Yi went to Xilin with Xu and Yingying as promised. Xilin Snow Road reopened, and it squeaked when stepped on.
Zhu Yi looked at it deliberately, but Zuo Chu didn't follow. Also, it really didn't make sense for him to come and watch them compete as a blind man.
Originally, she would talk to Xu Huanying and a few people, but now that someone was following, she had to continue to pretend to be dumb.
I looked for a random place, and there was a towering aspen tree in front of me, straight up to the sky, and dozens of chirping sparrows were always parked at the end of the loose but sturdy branches.
Xu Eucalyptus Ying released an arrow first, and the frightened birds flew in all directions, Zhu Yi did not show weakness, and the arrow was wound, and "Xiu Xiu" released several arrows together with Xu Eucalyptus in succession, but the sparrows that I saw fluttered and fell.
After all the fifteen arrows on his body were fired, Xu Yuying also collected his bow and went to check. He exclaimed: "Miss Zhu is really good at archery, sharp and accurate, and the arrow is not missing." Zhu Yi pursed his lips and whispered: "You don't have to be polite to me. ”
Xu Yingying smiled and said, "How about we go to hit some ground running?" She had no opinion, raised her eyebrows and motioned to lead the way.
In the new competition, the venue was changed to an inaccessible sand date forest. With its scattered branches and thick roots, the jujube tree is an excellent hiding place for animals.
The crowd was silent and hibernated behind the snowdrifts. A small guy found a snow deer, and the man was overjoyed for a while, and the snow deer fled when he heard the sound. Xu Eucalyptus Ying intended to shoot the snow deer, and Zhu Yi hurriedly whispered to him: "The number of snow deer is very small, just let it go." ”
When Xu Eucalyptus heard this, he collected his bow in time. Seeing that the two let go of the snow deer, everyone expressed regret, and some even muttered: "If you don't fight the rare snow deer, what's new just by hitting the hare." ”
Zhu Yi glared at the little guy who spoke, and at this moment she caught a glimpse of a colorful wild pheasant, so she raised her chin and still stared at the man, but an arrow shot to the right from the corner of her eye, and with a "poof" sound, it hit.
He winked triumphantly at the stunned little guy.
Someone went over and brought the pheasant that was dying in an instant. She gestured to hand it to the little guy, pulled her little face out of the fur collar of a snow rabbit in Nuoda, and only lip-synced silently: "Take it, make up for your snow deer, how beautiful this is." The little guy was quite embarrassed, looking at Zhu Yi's delicate and delicate little face, he couldn't help blushing, and said again and again: "Thank you, girl, thank you." ”
She snorted and turned her head away.
Xu Yuying looked at the person in front of her, compared to before, now she is like a goshawk who has liberated her nature and returned to the sky. After being injured in a fall, he licked his wounds and resolutely left the ground.
Although she is not welcomed by the people of Guzhai, she still considers this place her home. Her life may not be able to stir up a thousand waves, but she is suitable.
They were somewhat relieved to see that this girl, as before, had not fallen into the darkness, and was trying to live a warm life in the coldest place.
Perhaps, her heart is still warm and can heal her wounds and calm the pain. So there's still such a she.
She wasn't doing badly, and for them, it should have been a relief.
However, the owner of the village has become too much in the past year or so. To be precise, since her accident, the fuse has been laid, and then the subsequent fraudulent death and departure broke the last line of defense in his heart.
She has to be good, but the owner of the village is really not good......
With a burst of turmoil in his heart, Xu Yuying suddenly proposed to go back. Zhu Yi is naturally happy, this time when she goes back, there must be no intersection in the future, and there is no need to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she said directly: "Today I am with you, I have fulfilled the contract, and I don't have to see each other in the future, what do you say?" ”
No one present was surprised that the "dumb girl" could speak, and it seemed that they had been told in advance.
Xu Yuying's face was even more ugly, and her tone was angry: "I don't know if Miss Zhu can still laugh so happily after a year, it seems that you are doing well." ”
Zhu Yi, who was in a good mood, was angry for a moment when he listened to his sudden anger.
Could it be that they still want her to cry and cry about her badness, for others to have fun?
Whether she is doing well or not is her business now, why is it not good to see her good? Zhu Yi wanted to yell at him, but the words were already stuck in his throat, and after thinking about it, he swallowed it back silently.
Put on a smiling face, smile innocently, happy, "I naturally have a good life, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and someone cares." I was in a daze when I had nothing to do, I hunted for something, I fed myself, and I exercised my body. This life is quiet, quiet, stable, and very leisurely. Do you think I'm having a good time? ”
Xu Yu was angry, and he couldn't tell whether it was for her or for whom. In short, the face is not gloomy, unhesitating, unhappy, and unhappy.
When the team returned, Zhu Yi packed up his things and followed, humming a little tune in a good mood......
Xu Yuying had no intention of talking to her at all, only listening to the sound of snow trolling. Finally about to get out of the woods. Xu Yuying stopped suddenly. Zhu Yi was puzzled: "Why don't you leave?" ”
The tall man in front of him turned around, the anger on his face had disappeared, and he seemed to be depressed, and he said, "But the owner is not good." ”
Zhu Yi failed to understand: "......? ”
"The owner is having a bad time."
But whether he's okay or not has nothing to do with me, right? Zhu Yi silently but politely pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Xu Yuying sighed: "Zhu Yi, in fact, I didn't really want to talk to you about anything, but there was something related to you." ”
Hearing this, I suddenly had a very ominous premonition......
Zhu Yi shrunk his neck: "What do you have there that has anything to do with me?" I didn't take anything I shouldn't have taken, I didn't keep anything I shouldn't have kept, and the only thing I couldn't have kept was that I burned down your two rooms. She thought about it carefully, when the fire started, she had already left first, could it be ......
The fire is not under control, how many more are burned?
……
"Isn't it ...... The whole Jin Garden was burned, right? She asked, shrinking her neck.
Xu Eucalyptus sighed and retreated from everyone, "The owner of the village is blind, and ordinary Chinese medicine cannot cure it, and the witchcraft of Southern Xinjiang is too risky. Perhaps, only Xili's secret Gu is a middle way. ”
"That's why you live in the ancient village? That's right, the women of the ancient village will breed Gu. Zhu Yi suddenly realized, it turned out that they came here for this.
"I hope Miss Zhu will do it. To tell the truth, when we came to Guzhai, we originally wanted to find someone with higher qualifications, but we never thought of seeing Miss Zhu again. ”
Zhu Yi turned his head and snorted coldly: "I don't want to." What if your hands shake and you kill your master? ”
"You won't."
"I'm not sure."
"You won't."
Xu Huanying said affirmatively, Zhu Yi bit her lip, and kindly reminded the other party: "That's the case, there is a woman in the ancient village who has a good hand in Gu." Although I am not happy to admit it, she is indeed famous far and wide - the fifth lady of Guzhai, Zhu Lanyu. She was very sincere.
Xu Yuying was unmoved: "I know this is difficult for you, but the person I trust is you, the girl." Zhu Yi was bored, it was too late to hide Zuo Qi, but how could she send her to the door? !
Seeing that she was unwilling, Xu Ying's face sank, "The owner of the village was tricked by the girl, and he didn't take it out until you cheated to death." The doctor said that it was precisely because of this that the eyes could not be recovered. Miss Zhu, the Gu you planted at the beginning is the root of all the reasons. So it's up to you, and it's also considered 'the bell still needs to be tied to the bell'. said that it was difficult for you, but it was just because of the past. ”
This is what Zuo Qi asked him to talk about a few days ago.
Once Zuo Chu came out of the Zhu Yi room, his left arm was scratched, leaving a deep incision, which is obvious to everyone. In this way, it is said that she made a mistake and accidentally planted Gu for him, she was drunk that time, and she didn't remember what happened, so it was better to give her a "crime" directly.
However, after Xu Yingying's words, Zhu Yi smiled: "Why don't I give you all the Gu that I raised this year, I still have a hand in Gu cultivation, and I should pay off the debt of burning your house?" As for any other crimes, don't stuff them on me. ”
He knew that Zhu Yi was not a fool, and a sentence or two could not really fool the past, so he looked at her and smiled with compassion, as if he had given her a chance to be reborn and she had wasted it, and then stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the forest, leaving Zhu Yi alone in the same place......
