Chapter 16: Nowhere to Run
"Little ones, teach me a good lesson about this demon, and then send it to the official." Boss Mo seemed to be holding his breath and spoke murderously.
"Stop, Poor Dao has something to say."
But who would listen to his 'quibble', several wolf-like guards rushed forward early and punched and kicked Xuan Qing.
"Ahh
"My gourd!"
Summer Night felt a sudden tingling pain in her ears, only to feel dizzy in front of her, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, someone was holding her. She thought: It must have been the soul that was tossed too much just now.
"Providence, providence! You ignorant fools......" Xuan Qing cried out in vain, but in exchange for an even more violent beating.
It's a pity that he is alone in the world, but he has no power to restrain the chicken, and in the face of a group of reckless men, in addition to whining and mourning, he can only be beaten.
At this time, Xia Ye had just recovered some of his vitality, and seeing that Xuan Qing would not die or be crippled if he continued to fight, he thought that although this person was very self-righteous, he was not a wicked person, so he pleaded with Mo Liangren: "Don't fight anymore, he didn't hurt me." β
"Hmph, the woman who abducted a good family has bad intentions, and you still intercede for him? If I hadn't arrived in time, you'd have been hurt. Also, it doesn't matter to me if you hurt me, I'm just afraid that you don't care about yourself and spoil the master's big thing! "Mo Liangren hated iron and stared straight at Xia Ye.
Xia Ye was shocked and thought: Could it be that the silver-faced man is going to do it tonight?
Just thinking about it, Mo Liangren finally spoke and let Xuan Qing go: "Okay, don't fight, it's important to bring people back." Maybe she lost her temper and sulked in her heart, but she still didn't forget to threaten Xuan Qingdao, "Drunk half-immortal, I can recognize your lair, don't touch my Wenxiangyuan girl's idea in the future, otherwise I will burn your broken Taoist temple with a fire." β
"Ahem." Xuan Qing didn't answer her, but couldn't help coughing a few times, it seemed that the injury was not light.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
Without saying anything all the way, Xia Ye was sent back to her own room in the medicine house, at this time it was already late, but Mo Liangren was afraid that she would run around again, so he ordered someone to tie her hands and feet and throw her on the bed.
Summer Night struggled angrily, Mo Liangren squinted his eyes and looked at her coldly and said, "Do you still want to run?" Tying you up is a lesson for you. If Qi Fu hadn't stared at you this time, you would have let that stinky Taoist priest harm you a long time ago. β
"He's not a bad guy." Summer Night felt that the world was bewitched by his crazy appearance. This time, by mistake, she wanted to ask him to help resolve the dilemma of the strange poison in her body, but unexpectedly relieved the harassment of the Nightless Remnant Soul to her, although he didn't mean to help her, but she was still a little grateful in her heart, so she unconsciously spoke for him.
"Hmph, I don't care what you think of yourself, but don't spoil your master's business." Mo Liangren solemnly reminded again.
"Then you don't need to tie me up, just send someone to watch it, tie my hands and feet badly, be careful that you can't explain to your master." Summer Night wants to use the silver-faced man to press her.
"Don't scare me, I, Mo Liangren, am not scared. Walk! After saying that, Mo Liangren didn't want to talk to Xia Ye anymore, so he left with his subordinates.
When she walked away, Xia Ye immediately began to twist her hands desperately, she wanted to break free of her hands first to untie the rope on her feet, but after working hard for a long time, she sweated in vain, and the rope buckle not only did not move at all, but also seemed to be tighter. Summer Night cursed secretly in her heart
After a swear word, he collapsed on the bed a little tiredly, and fell asleep unconsciously.
The sound of a broken window woke her up in the summer night, and before she could understand what was happening, she saw a black monkey jump to the edge of the bed and jump lightly onto the bed.
"Who?" Summer Night asked nervously.
"Shhhh Don't talk. A man's voice threatened, holding a knife to her throat.
Listening to his voice crisp and crisp on a summer night, like an underage boy, I felt a little relieved, thinking that it should be a thief.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the shouting of the nursing home outside, and then the fire flickered outside the window, and it seemed that she had found this place.
Summer Night felt the knife around her neck tighten into her flesh, and knowing that the thief was afraid, she tried to restrain her breath so as not to irritate him. In his mind, he quickly planned how to get out of his hands, after all, Mo Liangren would not want her life, and this person had a knife in his hand, and he didn't know what he had done in Wenxiang Courtyard, so he provoked the Guardian Yuan to look for him everywhere with torches. However, there was at least one thing she knew, and that was not to provoke him easily.
The nurses lingered in the courtyard in front of the medicine house for a while, and some even held torches to shine outside the wooden windows.
"Did that kid steal anything?"
Summer Night heard Qi Fu's voice.
"Fortunately, the little ones found out in time that the thief was clumsy and didn't steal anything." A nursing home replied.
"Are the girls frightened?"
"Probably not, according to the small one, this thief is very timid, and after we found out, he ran like a mouse."
"Hey, hey." Someone laughed along.
"Alright, stop laughing." Qi Fu interrupted everyone and said, "Since it's an ordinary thief, don't make it so big, it's late at night, and it's not good to make people panic and can't sleep peacefully." In this way, a few of you will look around, and the rest will go back to their respective posts, and don't neglect other places. β
"Yes, Steward Qi is right."
"Can you see it around here?"
"I've seen all the things in charge of Qi, and there is no shadow of that thief."
"Well, then look elsewhere."
"Yes."
The voices and the light of the fire were gone, and I didn't know whether to rejoice or regret the summer night.
"Okay, everyone is gone, can you let me go?" Summer Night asked softly.
"What's wrong with you, you were tied hand and foot, are you also a thief, caught by someone?" The thief's immediate crisis was a little less, and he didn't want to flee quickly, and he was so idle that he was concerned with other people's business.
"It's just right, I also saved you, as a repayment, untie the rope for me."
"Whew" The eyes of the summer night suddenly lit up, and it turned out that the thief blew up the fire fold - what a big boldness.
"Do what?"
"I just want to see who saved me." The thief spoke more and more presumptuously.
He took the fire fold and shone it on Xia Ye's face, and at the same time, Xia Ye also saw his appearance clearly, this is a young and even a little immature face, but what is uncomfortable is that this face has an old spicy and cynical smile, which makes people look very uncomfortable. Slowly, the fire fold moved down, and the summer night felt more and more bad, if he was not only a thief who stole things, but also a thief who picked flowers.
However, the fire fold stopped at her neck, and the thief raised his face and looked at the summer night seriously for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Yezi, is it you?" β
Summer Night's body trembled suddenly, it was too late to hide it, and she asked incoherently: "You, you, you, I, how are you ......?"
"Sure enough, it's you!" The thief's voice revealed an unconcealed joy.
"Who are you, who are you?"
"I'm Uncle Qiang, Cen Qiang!"
Xia Ye felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and he was roaring in his heart: You can recognize me when I look like this? Oh my God, can I not escape you when I come to this world? It's not a dream, I hope it's a dream. While thinking about it, she involuntarily shook her head desperately, she really didn't want to see Cen Qiang, it was enough in her previous life.
"Hey, it's really hard to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them." Cen Qiang seemed very excited, he blew out the fire breaker, and while cutting the rope with a knife for Xia Ye, he continued, "Do you know how I recognized you? Here he was in a good mood to sell a little pass, but Summer Night didn't bother to answer at all.
Cen Qiang didn't see Xia Ye's frustration, and asked himself: "I still remember that night in the Jiangxia Mansion prison, I was the little beggar who escaped with you. β
Summer Night couldn't believe it, and she blurted out and asked, "How do you recognize me as Summer Night?" β
"Because of your unique lockpicking skills." Cen Qiang was very satisfied with his observation ability, paused slightly, and continued, "You use a filament to break the lock cylinder, this method is not used by anyone, let alone people at this time." But I wasn't sure at the time, and I always wanted to find you. It's just that it was important to escape that day, I only saw you being rescued and entering the Wenxiang Temple. Tonight, I deliberately spent some money and called some girls in the front yard, but I didn't see you, and I didn't inquire about you, so I took advantage of the night to sneak into the backyard to look for it, but I didn't expect to be discovered, thinking it was a thief who stole things. However, I was so lucky that I was here to meet you. Why, you were also caught by them, just right, I'll take you out. β
Summer Night's hands and feet were finally freed, and she rubbed her numb joints, thinking about what to doβshe didn't want to go with him.
"But I'm dressed as a man, and you can recognize me?" Before thinking of countermeasures, Xia Ye asked casually.
"The red dots on your neck, by the way, these things are so dense and scary that they give you goosebumps."
Summer Night's eyes rolled, and he had a countermeasure in his heart.
"I have a strange disease, only Dr. Qu here can cure it, the rope on this body is tied by him, he is afraid that I will scratch the skin on my neck with my hands, but this taste is not pleasant."
"Oh, I see, then you can cure this disease here, and then you will still follow me, we are still like in the previous life, you are my right-hand man. Hey, this era is really fucking strong, Lao Tzu can show his strength. The more Cen Qiang spoke, the more excited he became, in such a dimly lit room, his eyes could be seen shining on a summer night.
"Uncle Qiang, to be honest, what I have in my body is a poison that can't be cured, I'm afraid I only have half a month to live, I don't think I can help you." Listening to his words on a summer night, a chill couldn't help but rise in her back, did she have to repeat the suffering of her previous life, she would rather die, but her excuse did not lie.
Cen Qiang looked at her suspiciously and asked, "You didn't lie to me?" β
"If I die half a month later, you will know if I lied to you or not." Summer Night said with a wry smile.
"Well, then let's wait until you recover, if you don't die, you must come and help me!" Although Cen Qiang's appearance has completely changed, his heart has not changed at all.
"In your heart, I am a tool! You don't care if I live or die, you only care if I can still be used by you, and I have to be used by you. Xia Ye thought sadly in her heart, she really didn't expect him to cross over, she secretly decided that after helping the silver-faced man complete the agreement, she must find Xuanqing again, this time she asked him to send her back.
"Why don't you speak, do you hear it?" Cen Qiang asked viciously, as domineering as he was at the beginning.
"I know, Uncle Qiang don't worry."
"Hmph, it's good to know, if I hadn't adopted you, you would have starved to death."
"Summer Night, always remember Uncle Qiang's kindness."
"By the way, when I saw you, I remembered one more thing, I want your help recently, anyway, you still have half a month."
Hearing such ruthless words, Xia Ye's heart twitched suddenly, and she felt so sad that she couldn't breathe for a while.
She tried to tune out her breath and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"I want you to save someone."
"Why do you need me?"
"Because only you can open the locks on his body."
I see.
"Who is it?"
"Well, this, in short, is an important person, and must be saved."
"When?" Summer Night felt that he was deliberately hiding something.
"I'll let you know when the time comes."
"However, in a few days I may have something important to do."
"What is more important than Uncle Qiang's business?" Cen Qiang's tone immediately became unkind.
Summer Night thought to herself that she couldn't tell him about the agreement between the silver-faced man and herself. But at the moment, Cen Qiang's side didn't seem to be able to find a good excuse to fool around, thinking that it wouldn't be so coincidental that the two sides would do things on the same day, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it in terms of time, and when the time comes, you can just come to me." β
"This place isn't going to change, is it?"
"Probably not."
"You'd better not lie to me, you know the consequences." Cen Qiang's voice was immature and cold.
Summer Night touched the tail finger of his left hand with his right hand, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Summer Night understands." β
"Alright, I'm leaving."
"Okay."
Cen Qiang tiptoed out of the window, looked at the slightly swaying window frame in the summer night, gritted his teeth and scolded: This broken window.
