Chapter 7: Estrangement
Jun Qingran was helpless, and couldn't help but take a closer look. I saw that this woman was well-behaved, covered in red, her demeanor was light, and her voice was like a lark. It's just that she can't remember when she met such a beautiful woman for a while?
"Childe, I'm Xin'er!"
"Xin'er?" Jun Qingran immediately sobered up, but the doubts in his heart went to the top. She raised her head slightly and asked, "Are you Xin'er?" That fire...... How did you escape that fire? ”
Before she finished speaking, Xin'er interrupted her: "Everything is determined in the underworld, didn't Gongzi also escape?" Perhaps this is all God's arrangement. ”
Although there were many doubts between her words, Jun Qingran still cooperated with her performance: "What Xin'er said is very reasonable, maybe this is the fate given to us by God?" ”
Her eyes looked at Xin'er with inquiry, the evil smile on the corner of her mouth could not be hidden, and her eyes became more and more explicit.
Xin'er's face gradually turned red, like a boiled crab. If she wasn't a Hongchen woman, Jun Qingran would almost think that she was just a careless little girl.
"Childe, don't make fun of me." Xin'er smiled coquettishly.
A smile squeezed out of Jun Qing's pale face: "Oh yes, where did you meet me?" How did you save me? ”
She said that she had some difficulty to stand up, and Xin'er went over to help her when she saw the situation. She got up, her mind full of images of those people's tragic deaths, and she shook her head fiercely, as if she wanted to throw out all the images in her head.
Xin'er explained lightly: "When I saw you, you were lying in the courtyard of Manxian Tower, covered in blood, so I immediately asked someone to carry you in." ”
She looked at Jun Qingran a little nervously, and immediately changed the topic: "Don't worry, Childe, I didn't help you change your clothes, and I don't have a skin-to-skin relationship with Childe......"
Jun Qingran looked at her blood-covered clothes and smiled at her: "Anyway, thank you Xin'er for saving your life!" ”
"Childe doesn't need to be polite!" Seeing that Junqing's pale face did not recover at all, but the tiredness on her face could not be hidden, Xin'er said considerately, "Childe is tired, rest for a while, and Xin'er will come to find Childe later." ”
Watching Xin'er gradually walk away, Jun Qing sorted out everything in her head, who knew that the more she reasoned, the more chaotic she became, and her heart was full of doubts. Xin'er's explanation just now is obviously full of loopholes, and it is very likely that Xin'er is inextricably linked to all this. But why did she save herself? Is she really in love with herself? It's not right, if Xin'er is a monster, she will naturally find out that she is a daughter, how can she fall in love with a woman. Could it be ...... Xin'er is a man?
Her brows furrowed, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't tell right from wrong.
She slowly got up and looked around, Xin'er said that this was the backyard of Manxian Building, and it seemed that everything was in line with Xin'er's description. But for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong. She knew that from now on, she had to be careful in everything she did, or she would probably be doomed.
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
Jun Qingran simply came to the main hall of the Manxian Building and sat down in the previous position again.
"Childe, why did you come out? Your hurt ......" Xin'er looked at Jun Qingran who was sitting in the Manxian Building, her eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.
Jun Qingran glanced at her casually, and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it's just that the nightmare I had just now made me very depressed, speaking of which, it was a very strange dream, there were many monsters with wolf heads and human bodies in the dream, and those monsters were going to eat people." ”
"It's just a dream, Childe doesn't need to panic." Xin'er chuckled, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"Oh? But that dream was so real that sometimes I wondered if it was a dream or not! ”
Jun Qingran looked into Xin'er's eyes as she spoke, trying to get some clues from them, but to her disappointment, Xin'er's face never changed.
What Jun Qingran didn't know was that in the place where she couldn't see, Xin'er's hand clenched into a fist and slowly tightened.
"But you're right, it's just a dream, don't panic too much."
The deep meaning in Jun Qingran's eyes became more obvious, she looked out of the door without a trace, and the streets outside the Manxian Mansion were full of people, although there was a little mistake with expectations, but it was half the success.
Xin'er followed her gaze, her eyes a little evasive: "Of course, dreams are dreams after all." ”
She said that she smiled at Junqing, and her smile was like a flower.
"I hope so!" Jun Qingran chuckled, and his heart suddenly became much more relaxed.
……
In the west of the city, the moonlight is swaying, and the dilapidated and dilapidated temple looks extremely lonely in the moonlight.
The figure of a man was hazy in the darkness of the night, and he knelt on the ground, not daring to glance at the man in front of him. His head is buried very low, and his posture is as low as his head is pressed.
"Master, it's Xin'er, Xin'er saved that mysterious boy!"
The man who was called the master did not speak, but the coldness on his body was even worse. After a long time, the silence was broken by the man's strong voice: "If she changes her mind, you will kill her." It's just a waste, it's not a pity to die! ”
The man kneeling on the ground trembled, for fear that his master would be angry, and even he dealt with it together. He replied respectfully "yes" and didn't dare to say another word.
In an instant, the owner disappeared into the night like a ghost, as if he had never come.
The man kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, he got up slowly, Mu Ne looked at the bright moonlight outside, and the fear in his heart did not dissipate for a long time.
Late at night, Xin'er slept extremely unsteadily. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed. Xin'er got up vigilantly, and when she recognized it, her hanging heart slowly let go.
"Brother Yu!" She bluntly revealed the identity of the person who came out.
The man lowered his head, his eyes becoming more and more hazy in the night: "I told the master, and you saved him." ”
Xin'er nodded helplessly: "Even if you don't say it, the master will know." After all, we are just a small chess piece in his hands, and even if you don't say it, there will be tens of millions of people who want him to ask for credit. Actually, I've thought about it for a long time, and people like me with blood on their hands...... He's dead...... Maybe you can really get liberation! ”
Xin'er was a little relieved. Yes, she is tired, she is tired.
When the man heard this, he immediately panicked: "Xin'er, don't be like this." There's no going back. ”
"Brother Yu, instead of living secretly and living without a trace of dignity, it is better to live according to my way, even if it is only one day, I have no regrets!" Xin'er looked at the man in front of her, a wry smile rose at the corner of her mouth, she slowly walked forward, her eyes looked out of the window, her eyes were a little profound, "Do you still want to go on like this?" Have you ever had a happy moment over the years? Aren't you tired of living like this? ”
"But...... Have you forgotten how your brother died? ”
"I didn't!" The man's words made Xin'er's face pale slightly, and she covered her head tightly with her hands. Her heart was filled with hatred, her nails digging deep into her flesh, blood dripping down her hands and onto the ground. She said viciously, "One day, I will make them pay their due!" ”
"Xin'er, believe me, only the master can help me avenge. When the great revenge is avenged, we will be separated from the master, and we will be together in life and death! ”
……
The days passed quickly, but for Yu Junqingran, there was a feeling of living like a year. She felt that centuries had passed before the wounds on her body had healed. She sat in the same position in the Manxian Building every day in a silent daze, looking at the streets with people coming and going, she felt that she had become an elm pimple.
Xin'er, who had just come in from outside, looked at Jun Qingran looking out the window in a daze, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly: "I know, the salary is boring, right?" ”
Jun Qingran heard the sound, looked back at her and said with a smile: "Xin'er, who knows me." But then again, aren't you bored? ”
Xin'er smiled and walked to her side and shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Of course it's boring, we are not like Childe, women like us, in fact, they are not even qualified to say the word 'boring'." ”
Jun Qingran looked at her curiously and asked, "What do girls in this era usually do when they are bored?" ”
"Girls?" Xin'er looked at her puzzled, confused.
Jun Qingran smiled awkwardly, and coughed in disguise: "Ahem, I'm talking about women...... Well, yes, woman! ”
"Daze, or...... Watch others in a daze! Xin'er hid her face and chuckled, there was a hint of flirtatiousness.
"How old is Xin'er this year?"
"Just turned sixteen."
"Oh." Jun Qingran propped up her head, tilted her head and squinted at her lazily, and suddenly said, "Hey, it's not easy in any era. In our place, a girl your age has to prepare for the college entrance examination. Don't you know that the college entrance examination can really exhaust individuals! ”
Xin'er looked at her confused, she didn't know what she meant, and couldn't help asking, "Childe is not a local?" ”
Jun Qingran replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's not." Hey, even I'm confused now. Would you believe me if I said I was a mixture of ancient and future? ”
Xin'er smiled slightly: "Childe is so interesting!" ”
Jun Qingran smiled perfunctorily: "It's really troublesome Miss Xin'er during this time." ”
The smile on her lips was not obvious, but it was heartfelt. No matter who Xin'er is, she is grateful to Xin'er. If it hadn't been for Xin'er, maybe she would have died a long time ago.
Xin'er looked at Jun Qing's side face and was a little distracted, and soon the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "Where is the son, Xin'er is willing to take care of the child." ”
"Uh......" Jun Qingran pursed her lips lightly, and then whispered, "It's time to leave, I've been bothering you long enough." ”
"Okay, the eldest boy is ambitious in all directions, although the son is busy, Xin'er doesn't dare to delay." Xin'er's eyes flowed, her eyes were a little lonely, she paused and said, "If the son doesn't dislike it, it's Xin'er's blessing!" ”
"How come, I'm lucky to meet you!"
Jun Qing looked at Xin'er's eyes, and Xin'er also raised her eyes to look at her, and quickly lowered her head again.
Jun Qingran walked out of the Manxian Building with heavy steps, and never encountered the same situation again. She was so confused that she stopped, looked back in Xin'er's direction, and was a little dazed in her eyes.
Hey, the next time we meet, we'll probably be strangers.
Jun Qingran thought so, then turned around and left without a trace.
Xin'er looked at Jun Qingran's departing back, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye and sparkled in the afterglow of the setting sun. She gently wiped away her tears, and her eyes gradually began to become determined.
……
"Brother Jun? Thank goodness you're finally back. Brother Bai, come on, Brother Jun is back! ”
When Zhuzhi saw Jun Qingran, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he was so excited that he almost jumped up. It is true that the reason why he was excited was because Jun Qingran was the first to come out of the Manxian Building, you must know that all his former partners had no news, as if the world had evaporated.
Bai Xi also quickly walked out of the house when he heard the sound, and when he saw Jun Qingran, his eyes suddenly flashed with joy that could not be concealed.
"Jun ...... You...... It's back! ”
Bai Xi looked at Jun Qingran fixedly, he had never been afraid before, but this time he was actually a little afraid that Jun Qingran would never come back. Before this moment, he was still regretting, knowing that letting her go to Manxian Tower was to send sheep into the tiger's mouth, why did he let her take risks alone? If she had three longs and two shorts, he would not forgive himself until he died.
But when he saw him again, he thought that it was the best arrangement for her to go to Manxian Tower alone, as a famous disciple, he had to take care of the overall situation. He can't take action in person for the time being, so he can only use her to wade into this troubled water, otherwise it will be too cost-effective to startle the snake.
Of course, Jun Qingran is also a smart person, and she has already guessed Baixi's intentions at this time. But she still chooses to remain silent, too often, it is not a good thing to tell the truth, and it will hurt feelings.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "What? Don't you want me back? ”
Bai Xi's eyes were a little evasive, and then he smiled awkwardly and replied, "How can there be?" It's good to be back! ”
Zhu Zhi didn't seem to know why, and he was a little anxious, he patted Jun Qingran's shoulder and asked, "Brother Jun, what's wrong with Manxian Tower?" ”
"There is a monster with a wolf's head and a human body, and all those who go in are eaten by that monster!"
Jun Qingran calmly stated a fact, as if the person who had just experienced a life and death catastrophe was not her at all.
Zhuzhi was a little stunned, he pressed his hands on Jun Qingran's shoulders, his eyes scanning her, trying to check if she was injured.
Bai Xi's hand slowly clenched, and the sweat in his palm had already betrayed him. He looked at Jun Qingran, and it happened that Jun Qingran was also looking at him at this time. After looking at each other for a second, he saw the relief in her eyes, which was mixed with some ridicule. Bai Xi's heart shook, he knew she would be angry. The person you have always trusted the most not only did not come to the rescue when you were in danger again, but stabbed you in the back, and anyone who put this kind of thing on them will be angry. But for the sake of the overall situation, he will not be soft-hearted. This is what he learned in Mingmen, and it is also the sentence that Mingyang said to him the most!
He wanted to say something of concern, but before he could say it, he swallowed it, and he lowered his head and said no more.
