Chapter 9: The Man in Ink
In this incomparably long dark night.
Chi Qingqiu's vision was covered with blood.
She collapsed to the ground, unable to see.
Still, she didn't understand.
Who the hell is -
At such a cost, you must kill her?
The wind whistled above her body, over the mountains, and beyond.
But I couldn't tell her the answer.
Regret, or unwillingness?
It doesn't make any sense.
But perhaps because it is rare for people to wake up before they die, Chi Qingqiu suddenly connected all the previous things......
The people who knew that they were going to the city of Jiechuan were none other than those few people.
If it's him......
Pity.
The change happened so suddenly that she didn't have a chance to inform anyone, and she couldn't leave even the slightest clue.
Chi Qingqiu felt that his body was gradually losing sensation, and the pain of eroding bones swept through his body.
She felt that her vitality was passing little by little, but despite this, she did not stop trying.
Chi Qingqiu moved his fingers vigorously......
Traces of blood flowed down her body, merging with the soil.
You can't see it in the dark.
I don't know how long it took.
Slight footsteps sounded in the field.
A pair of shoes appeared in front of Ji Qingqiu's body.
The man held an umbrella and looked at her carefully for a long time.
"It's a surprise."
"I thought it was a waste, but I was able to hit the night sideburns with serious injuries."
Immediately, he took out a white jade bottle from his sleeve and sprinkled the powder inside onto the corpse.
Ji Qingqiu's body turned to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye......
The scene looked very cruel, but the man watched it with amusement for a long time, until the corpse disappeared, leaving only a crimson earth.
"Solved."
The man was about to leave, but as if he noticed something, he stopped again.
He crouched down and took a closer look.
It was as if she was imagining her struggle before she died, based on the dark earth and the traces in the ground.
It was quiet in the wind, and he was silent.
"I guessed it right."
Then he crouched down and gently erased the traces of the man's exertion.
"It's a pity."
"If I had known you earlier, maybe I would have been reluctant to kill you."
Everything is back to normal, as if it never existed.
The man walked away with an umbrella and hummed an unknown song softly.
The sky seemed to be darker.
The inky night and the never-ending rain seem to be enough to cover all the ugliness of the world.
****
Qiantengjie, Cangyuan City.
The morning light is faint.
After the rainstorms, the town was completely renewed.
The flowers that bloomed on the side of the road at some point were scattered by the previous rain, and fell pitifully on the side of the road.
A slender hand picked up the flower.
Mu Jiujiu put the flowers in the basket containing the spirit grapes, and when she came to the Drunken Immortal Residence, she found that there were already many guests inside.
Cangyuan Castle is a small city close to the Castle of the River.
Last night, Mu Jiujiu was not familiar with the place, coupled with the heavy rain, so he had to find a restaurant to settle down.
However, she was penniless and in an awkward position. So when she faced the proprietress last night, she had to try to exude a pitiful aura in order to take her in.
Fortunately, the proprietress of this restaurant is very interesting.
She smiled and said: "This little lady is born well, stay in the store to welcome guests, presumably the popularity of the restaurant will be higher." ”
Last night, Mu Jiujiu was soaked, and the whole person was embarrassed. She really didn't understand how the proprietress thought she was good-looking.
I have to say thank you to the hostess for her bad vision......
Phew, that's wrong.
It is thanks to the proprietress for her kindness and discernment.
All in all, Mu Jiujiu stayed.
The guests sat around the table, chatting and laughing with their friends, including poets who wrote poems elegantly, dignitaries and nobles, and swordsmen who seemed to have a lot of stories.
Mu Jiujiu also saw a female chivalrous guest dressed in plain clothes and equipped with a sword, drinking heartily with her friends, and her eyebrows were shining.
She imagined it like this......
Mu Jiujiu thought, when she makes money in the early stage of the game, she will find a sect to cultivate if she can. In the future, she will be a free and easy knight, riding a fast horse to gallop the world, laughing at the grievances and grievances in the world, and leaving the red dust from suffering.
How, at ease.
At that moment, Mu Jiujiu felt that it was really unnecessary for him to die and live for love before.
Because the world is so vast.
Whether it is in the game or in reality, there are many things worth discovering and exploring.
Just as he was thinking like this, Mu Jiujiu accidentally noticed another person.
The man was obviously sitting in the most inconspicuous corner, and his behavior was very quiet, but Mu Jiujiu couldn't help but pay more attention to him.
He was dressed in ink and did not say a word.
The people around him called friends, talked and laughed, but he was the only one who sat upright, lowered his eyebrows, and poured himself a drink.
Not only because of his behavior and demeanor that adds a bit of mystery to him, but also because of the unusual temperament around him.
At this moment, the man seemed to feel something.
He looked up and met Mu Jiujiu's inquiring gaze.
The man's face has no flaws, lined with ink clothes and black hair, and the whole person looks clear and fair. His eyebrows and eyes are deep, and his facial features look unusually handsome.
Especially those eyes, the curvature of the eyebrows and eyes is excellent. Obviously just looking at you lightly, but I can't help but be attracted to him.
He didn't say anything.
But at that moment, Mu Jiujiu didn't know why, and felt a little scared.
This person's eyes are too cold.
Like a person who has been in a high position for a long time, a kind of indifference to many things.
She just wanted to look away, but she heard the proprietress call her: "Wine." ”
Mu Jiujiu immediately turned his head and replied: "Shopkeeper, I'm here." ”
"Did you buy it?"
"Here." Mu Jiujiu took out a box of rouge, handed it to the proprietress, and said with a warm smile: "The rouge that the proprietress asked me to buy is really easy to find, probably because I am not familiar with the place, and I ran several streets to find it." ”
"Yes, it's also my fault, I didn't take this into account." The proprietress looked at the rouge in her hand and was very satisfied.
"This spirit grape is very delicious, the proprietress tastes it?" Mu Jiujiu handed over the basket in his hand.
There was still a surplus of spirit stones that the proprietress had given her before, so she also bought some other things. It's mostly some spirit flowers and spirit grasses that she thinks are interesting.
For her extravagant and wasteful behavior, the system Jun Dawn is cutie and expressed strong condemnation.
Mu Jiujiu has his own opinion on this. She thinks the game, isn't it just to have fun? Why do you have to do anything and be tied down?
During this time, when she bought the spirit rune, Dawn also asked her to buy an ordinary stone on the spirit rune.
Mu Jiujiu asked the stall owner about the price, and the stall owner looked at it casually and said, "I am worried that the spirit rune will be blown away by the wind and pressed on it, so if you want it, take it away." So he took another stone from nearby and put it on it.
Mu Jiujiu: "......"
Okay, for Dawn's sake.
Here, the proprietress ate Juling grapes, and her eyes were bent.
"It tastes good."
"Yes, it seems that the shopkeeper has a similar taste to me, and I like this sweet and sour taste." Mu Jiujiu was a little happy, so he also pinched one and sent it to his mouth.
The skin of this Juling grape is smooth and full, purple and red. In the mouth, the sweet aroma lingers on the tip of the nose, sweet and sour, sliding from the tip of the tongue to the bottom of the heart.
It's much better than in reality! And the fruit is bigger, and after eating it, I feel a warm breath reverberating in my body.
Mu Jiujiu felt that there would be spirit stones in the future, and he must eat all the delicacies in this game.
After she ate the grapes for a while, she remembered the man in ink just now.
Mu Jiujiu didn't know why he paid so much attention to him.
When she turned her gaze to the position of the man just now, she found that the person had disappeared.
How could it be, this is only a blink of an eye......
Where the hell did it go?
