Chapter 31: The Storm and Clouds Are Surging and the Jade Dragon is Shocked (1)
There has been no snow for three days, and the days seem to be lighter. There is a simple courtyard outside the white city, which has lost the cover of the snow, and it is no longer a smokeless scene for thousands of miles. A maroon horse was tied to a stone pier in the courtyard, a brand-new bow and arrow wrapped in deerskin was placed on the stone table beside it, and a wisp of green smoke spread from the roof of the house.
There was a faint smell of sweet and glutinous rice in the hut, and the iron spoon collided with the stone pot to make a "bang" sound. The man in ink lying on the bed frowned, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands were clenched uneasily.
Suddenly, the person on the bed opened his eyes, and there was a trace of blood in his dark golden eyes. As if he had seen the wrong eye, in the blink of an eye, he could only see his head tilted, obsidian-like eyes, looking at the door vigilantly, listening intently to the approaching footsteps.
"Brother Xu!" Before you see him, you hear his voice first. Xuanyuan raised a hare in his hand, showing his little tiger teeth openly, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Yuan Qi, why are you here, come in and sit." Sister-in-law Xu put down the spatula in her hand and greeted Xuanyuan warmly, "Your eldest brother went into the city to buy something, almost, and he will be back in a while." ”
"Into the city? Why did he suddenly think about running to the city, if he went to Yulong Mountain to hunt deer, it would be credible. Xuanyuan Qi was not formal, went into the room and took a basin of water familiarly, then found a random chair to sit down, and said while handling the rabbit he had just hunted.
Sister-in-law Xu approached Xuanyuanqi, glanced at the closed hut on the side, lowered her voice mysteriously, and said slowly: "He, when he went to hunt deer yesterday, he picked up a dying person and came back. That man, he had a lot of injuries up and down his body, and there were not enough medicinal materials at home, so your eldest brother went to the city early in the morning to buy them. ”
After speaking, although he looked worried, he quickly smiled with relief, and sat down on the side and picked up the beans.
Xuanyuan knew in his heart that Brother Xu loved to help people in distress the most, even if he didn't know their identities and origins, if he saw them, he would also take a kick. Although Sister-in-law Xu is a person who is worried about accepting a bad heart, she is always a little worried in private, but she also understands her husband's hard work, and most of them will help by the side.
"So, what's wrong with that guy?" He was seriously injured again, and he was inexplicably in a coma in Yulong Mountain, no matter how he sounded, he didn't look like a person with a simple background, since he had a very good relationship with Brother Xu, he should naturally help beware, Xuanyuan said in his heart.
"Nope." Sister-in-law Xu sighed earnestly.
Xuanyuan put down the hare that he had disposed of in his hand, got up and rinsed his hands in front of the clay jar, wiped it on his body twice at will, and walked softly towards the hut.
Gently snap the door bolt, slowly push the door in, and as far as the eye can see, you will have a full view of this small place. It's just that there is no expected black figure on the plank bed, the dark quilt is flat against the bed, the window on one side is gently hidden, and the whole room is more air-conditioned than the small hall.
Shin walked to the bed, reached out and probed the bedding that still had residual warmth, and out of the corner of his eye, a drop of blood congealed on the edge of the bed.
"Yuan Qi?" Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Sister-in-law Xu couldn't help but be a little worried, but she was afraid of making noise to the injured people in the hut, so she whispered.
"The man is gone." Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and stepped out.
"Gone? He's hurt so badly, it's ......"
"Sister-in-law, since he doesn't say goodbye, the bento is fine, maybe there is something urgent to deal with. Don't worry too much, but just meet in the water and give a helping hand. With that, Regulus sat back on the stool and continued to pour the hare in the basin.
"That's good." Sister-in-law Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, Xiao Ran, why didn't you bring her." ”
Xuanyuan looked slightly stunned, the movements in his hands paused, and there seemed to be a cold voice in his mind.
The seventh prince must know that as long as she is Yu Zijin one day, there is no possibility of deep friendship in your life.
"She went to play with her little sister, how can I take her with me all day." Xuanyuan Qi quickly regained his complexion, and with a haha, he dipped the hairless hare in the water, and walked towards the kitchen with the basin.
Seeing Xuanyuan fleeing from the wilderness, Sister-in-law Xu shook her head helplessly, "This kid." ”
"Sister-in-law Xu, where is the shelf!" A cry for help came from the kitchen.
"It's right next to the cabinet on the left, see if there's any." Sister-in-law Xu got up slowly, shook off her hands that were wet with snow water because she chose beans, and walked towards the kitchen.
In the compartment on the second floor of the Hidden Snow Pavilion, an ink-colored figure jumped in through the window and walked to the bed. The person in front of him was sleeping quietly, his facial features were soft, his long straight black hair was scattered over his shoulders, I don't know if he dreamed of something interesting, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Seeing that Yu Zijin was safe and sound, he stepped forward softly and reached out to comb her sideburns. Lowering her eyes slightly, she finally let go of the heart she was carrying, twisted the quilt for her, and turned around to leave.
"Ah Yan!" Shu heard a trembling call from behind him, and Ying Yan only felt that his wrist was gently grasped, and his whole life froze, standing stiffly in place.
"Ah Yan." calmed the excitement in his heart, Yu Zijin called softly again, his eyes were full of tears, and he swirled straight, but the corners of his mouth were still stubbornly rising.
Ying Yan turned around slowly, with a hint of forbearance in his eyes, suppressing the outburst of emotion, "Little, Jane? ”
"It's me." The curvature of the corners of Yu Zijin's mouth gradually increased, his eyes were crooked, and he smiled with relief, "After so long, are you okay?" ”
All right? Ying Yan hid the guilt that flashed by him, leaned over slightly, rubbed Yu Zijin's head, hooked his lips and smiled softly, and did not respond to Yu Zijin's words, just quietly looked at her watery eyes.
"Ah Yan, take me away, let's find a place where no one lives, and be together for the rest of our lives." Yu Zijin held Ying Yan's hand tightly, and as soon as he retracted his countenance, there was a slight pleading look on his face.
Seeing Ying Yan, his expression was wandering, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of the matter, Yu Zijin reminded softly, "Ah Yan? ”
was called by Yu Zijin, and suddenly pulled back to reality, Ying Yan's eyes were cold, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and the hand held by Yu Zijin flipped hard, broke free from her shackles, quickly grabbed her other hand hidden under the futon, and slowly raised it, "Take you away?" OK. ”
I saw that the woman was holding a sharp dagger in her hand, ready to attack, if Ying Yan hadn't found it in time, I'm afraid this thing had already pierced his chest at this time.
"How do you know I'm not her!" The woman couldn't believe it, she had carefully scrutinized everything from her appearance to her behavior, and she boasted that she was in place with a smile and a smile, but she was discovered by Ying Yan after a while.
Without waiting for her to say more, Ying Yanruo unintentionally waved her sleeves, and the woman fell to the ground in response, out of breath. As if it was involved in the wound, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he raised his hand to wipe the blood that slowly left from the corner of his mouth, hooked his lips and sneered, and then walked away.
I have to say that when she called him Ah Yan for the first time, he did believe it, but the next second he looked at her eyes, and he knew that it was not her.
Besides, if it was really Xiao Jane, she would definitely not ask him the first time she saw him, how was it lately...... She's afraid she hates herself very much.
Seeing Ying Yan walk out of the room, Shi Rong, who had been guarding the door since he had a secret conversation with Lin Xiao, looked shocked. Someone broke into the house, and he didn't even notice it, "You ......"
"Where is Lin Xiao?" Ying Yan's face was slightly cold, and his expression was full of alienation.
"The master has something to do." Shi Rong said vaguely.
"Jade Dragon Mountain?" seems to be able to see through what others are thinking, and Ying Yan said what Shi Rong was worried about. The half-moon period has arrived, and there should be movement in Yancheng, and the Tianji Pavilion Lord, who is in a uproar, thinks that it is also in response to what the world thinks.
and the previous agreement with that man...... Yulong Mountain, Lin Xiao got the news and would never sit still.
After speaking, Shi Rong's face changed slightly, and he was silent.
"You go to him immediately and tell him that Zijin has been taken away and come back quickly." After speaking, Ying Yan was about to leave, but saw that Shi Rong was still in place, frowned slightly, and added in a deep voice, "There is nothing he is looking for there, but if he goes in, he will die for life." If you don't want to be leaderless, keep standing. ”
Shi Rongben was also worried that if he took Yu Zijin's matter at this time, it would bother Lin Xiao. With Lin Xiao's fancy to Yu Zijin, he will definitely put down what he is doing and leave, then everything he planned is likely to fall short. He didn't want to take that risk.
But after listening to Ying Yan's words, he was even more shocked. The relationship between Lin Xiao and Ying Yan has always been delicate, and even after staying by Lin Xiao's side for so many years, he can't tell what the two of them are secretly doing.
But in general, looking at Lin Xiao's attitude on weekdays, the two can be regarded as allies, and Ying Yan's words are not necessarily false. If this is the case, for the sake of Lin Xiao's safety, he should not delay.
Looking at the white figure lying on the ground in the room, Shi Rong couldn't help frowning, and after a slight fist to Ying Yan, he hurriedly left.
Ying Yan didn't stop, and walked out. If Shi Rong had been guarding the door, it would not be easy to steal the day under his nose, and the most likely reason was that there was a traitor in this Hidden Snow Pavilion.
Walking to the main hall on the first floor, he glanced at the shopkeeper who was busy in the main cabinet, and Ying Yan quietly approached, "Are you in charge?" ”
"Yes, what do you command, officer?" The shopkeeper grinned, and his eyes contained a touch of the shrewdness of a businessman.
Glancing at the shopkeeper's hand rubbing the black wood abacus, Ying Yan withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and hooked his lips slightly, "It's okay, but I saw that the shopkeeper's bearing was extraordinary, so I had nothing to ask about it." ”
After speaking, Ying Yan turned around coldly and left the Hidden Snow Pavilion, "This Hidden Snow Pavilion is the land of the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger. ”
Ying Yan's voice was not deliberately lowered, the shopkeeper in front of the cabinet listened to this, his expression was slightly condensed, the movements in his hands stopped for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at the inky back that was getting farther and farther away, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
