The trails in the mountains are already rugged, and they are even more difficult to walk after changing the trails. Gu Mingxiu and Ning Fei helped the agarwood and walked forward cautiously on the grass, not daring to make a sound. The skirts of several people were stained with mud, and the ends of their skirts were scratched a few small cuts.

Out of the trail, the mountain road in front of me opened up.

Ning Fei was also a little unable to tell where they were, and the look of anxiety and annoyance between his eyebrows and eyes became more and more obvious. She was still appeasing Gu Mingxiu and the others, but the more she walked back, the more silent she became. didn't talk much along the way, and no longer comforted, Ning Fei ran forward briskly with the agarwood, feeling a little impetuous.

After walking a distance, I saw a family in the distance.

In the small courtyard across the fence, a woman in cloth was walking to the side with a wooden basin. She put down the wooden basin in her hand, reached for the clothes on the shelf, and inadvertently saw this side, her eyes fell on the three girls, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Let's hide with that woman," Ning Fei said in a low voice, "I see that they won't be able to catch up for a while, besides, Agarwood is injured, if it is more than blood bandage, we don't know how long it will take to go, if she can't support that ....."

Ning Fei didn't finish his words, and Gu Mingxiu responded.

The three of them walked over, Gu Mingxiu stood behind with agarwood, and Ning Fei stepped forward and talked to the woman softly: "Auntie, we were separated from our family, and the maid was accidentally injured. We have been walking for a long time and have not found our way, can my aunt borrow a place for us to rest? She gently took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into the woman's hand, "Trouble lady." ”

The woman looked left and right, with a little doubt in her eyes. Touching the heavy jade bracelet in her hand, the woman put it away, with a smile on her face: "What a big deal, come, come into the house and sit." She led a few people inside, and said happily, "It's a good thing that you can find here." ”

"This mountain is the most complicated, and outsiders are the easiest to get lost. If you want to go to the top of the mountain, you should take the main road, how did you get around this mountain? ”

Agarwood cushioned the dagger in her arms, and turned her head to look at Gu Mingxiu, who was silently listening to the woman's words.

Led them into the house, Gu Mingxiu suddenly spoke, as if casually: "I've lived here for so long, I don't know if there is a cellar or something like that in my aunt's house?" She smiled slightly, "Those in the deep mountains and old forests, if you encounter any danger, you can hide from it." ”

The eldest lady touched her head and shook her head: "I've lived here for half my life, so there's any danger there." The little girl has heard a lot of play, don't worry. She glanced at the three of them a few times and pointed to the cabinet behind her, "There's a clean cloth there, you can use whatever you want, I'll go and prepare something for you to eat." ”

Gu Mingxiu thanked him and helped Agarwood to sit at the head of the bed.

Ning Fei opened the cabinet and took out the cloth and scissors, looked back and frowned, "There is no medicine... How good is that? ”

"Agarwood has medicine on it." Gu Mingxiu took the sachet on the waist of the agarwood and was about to open it, when Ning Fei took it over.

The girl smiled very gently, with a faint reproach: "Your body and bones are not good, so after such a toss, it must be uncomfortable now." I'll do it, just rest and rest. She held the sachet and sighed, with a slight sadness in her tone, "I don't know. Are we going to hide again in a while? ”

Gu Mingxiu didn't answer, just turned his eyes to look at the gradually sinking sky through the window.

After taking the medicine, Agarwood leaned on the bed and fell asleep grogily. Ning Fei breathed a sigh of relief and sorted things out carefully. Gu Mingxiu sat quietly at the table, looking a little distracted.

The woman brought some food and two glasses of water. With a smile on her face, she was slightly unsteady when she reached out to put the plate, but the hand holding the cup was a little shaky. When placing the water cup in front of Gu Mingxiu, her hand trembled, and Gu Mingxiu seemed to realize something, and turned her head to look.

Ning Fei happened to walk to the table, just blocking Gu Mingxiu's sight. She raised her hand and kindly helped the woman take out the things: "There is Aunt Lao, but we don't have much appetite now, I'm afraid it's going to be wasted." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The eldest lady waved her hand, and her eyes turned to Gu Mingxiu with a little hesitation. She met Ning Fei's gaze, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just silently closed her mouth and walked out.

Ning Fei didn't eat much, and Gu Mingxiu didn't touch a bite.

Sighing, putting down the chopsticks, Ning Fei said: "Mingxiu, eat a little more, if you don't have the strength....." She saw that Gu Mingxiu looked a little embarrassed, so she pushed the water cup in front of her closer, and no longer forced, "That... Drink some water? You can't toss yourself anymore. ”

Gu Mingxiu picked up the cup, took a sip and put the cup down: "It's been a long time now, and I don't know what happened." Those people haven't been found yet, and our people haven't been found. ”

"Didn't the eldest lady say that this place is very hidden? Don't worry too much just yet. Ning Fei casually glanced at Gu Mingxiu's cup and said gently.

The two sat quietly for a long time, and the sky outside the window had completely darkened. The food on the table, which had not been touched much, was now cold, and it was not an appetite to look at. Ning Fei turned his gaze and swept Gu Mingxiu's quiet side face, with a few suspicions in his eyes.

She was silent for a long time, and said softly: "I'll go and take a look at the movement outside, don't run around." ”

Glancing at her thoughtfully, Gu Mingxiu turned his head halfway, and his dark eyes had a few uncertain emotions, which taught Ning Fei to feel uneasy for no reason. Quickly removing a few points of uneasiness and panic in her eyes, Ning Fei quickly got up, but she had just turned around when she heard a faint female voice behind her: "Aren't you very strange, why am I still awake now?" ”

Ning Fei's body only stiffened slightly, and then quickly returned to normal. She turned around, with a gentle and confused expression on her face, and her tone was full of puzzlement: "Mingxiu, what are you talking about?" Are you talking to me? ”

"Do you want to find those killers...."Gu Mingxiu stared at her quietly, the flickering candle flame made the girl's face cold and frosty, "Or do you want to go to those people who you want to disguise as bandits?" ”

Ning Fei stood still.

She raised her head and quietly met Gu Mingxiu's emotionless gaze. The two looked at each other for a long time, and the girl in purple looked quiet and unfazed. Ning Fei looked at her, and the emotions in his eyes were slowly removed.

After a while, she smiled faintly: "You already knew." ”

"It's not too early, I've been suspicious, but I've just figured it out." Gu Mingxiu said lightly, she blinked her eyes and laughed softly, "Even if we don't run away just now, it doesn't matter, your purpose is not to kill me." What you have in mind is that you want me to live rather than die, Ning Fei. ”

Laughing lightly, Ning Fei said: "You hurt my eldest brother like that, didn't you know what happened to you today?" Gu Mingxiu, if you weren't so ruthless, you would have hurt my eldest brother like that..."

"Are you really your big brother doing it?" Gu Mingxiu interrupted Ning Fei's choking and laughed casually, "Don't you hate your eldest brother the most." Hate him for being ignorant and ignorant, so that you will be ridiculed by others. He's dead, and you're the happiest. ”

Gu Mingxiu glanced at her, her eyes were as cold as frost and snow: "Those good sisters who are worried about your eldest brother, and good girls who are empathetic, aren't they all performed by you little by little, for others and for Qingqing to see." She curled the corners of her lips and revealed it in a faint voice, "You think Qingqing can be a good chess piece to help you pave the way, do you?" ”

Ning Fei's eyes were furious, and a sneer appeared on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Don't make excuses! What does this have to do with Qingqing? It was you who hurt my eldest brother, and I want to seek your revenge! Qingqing, she doesn't know—"

"Of course, Shen Qingqing doesn't know how her confidant and friend who treats her with her heart calculates her, and how she thinks of trying to harm her." Gu Mingxiu interrupted Ning Fei's excited words again, and the chill in her eyes became heavier, "How could she know that her confidant and friend looked good for her on the surface, but she found a lecherous gangster with a lot of debts in the family to be her husband?" ”

"She thought she had met someone who was destined, how did she know that person had already memorized her chess moves in every game of chess, and where did she know that that person didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and they all came to her Shen family."

"She didn't know that her confidant and friend were bribing a group of gangsters, wanting to pretend to be a bandit to ruin her reputation, and to stir up the storm in the city to force her to die."

Gu Mingxiu's voice was cold and powerful, and it dissipated in the hut word by word. With her words, the shock and panic in Ning Fei's eyes had all emerged, and even a little panic fell on Gu Mingxiu. Her body trembled slightly, and she involuntarily took a step back.

Ning Fei gritted his teeth: "You don't want to frame me!" I've known Qingqing for so long, Qingqing knows, knows that I'm not-"

"That's because she doesn't know." The voice suddenly calmed down, Gu Mingxiu looked away, and faintly fell on the flickering candle flame, not looking at Ning Fei much, but there was a bit of mockery in his eyes.

Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "She doesn't know that you have admired Shen Xian of the Sixth Highness for many years, and even fell in love with Shen Xian in your heart, and refused to let go of any woman who has a relationship with the Sixth Highness." With a chuckle, Gu Mingxiu softened his tone, "But His Royal Highness has only circled around one Shen Qingqing for many years, you know it clearly, you know-"

"Shut up! Shut up!! Ning Fei screamed suddenly, and her eyes turned crimson. Reaching out and grabbing the water cup on the table, he smashed it towards Gu Mingxiu, Ning Fei shouted hysterically, "Don't tell you!" You shut up!! ”

The glass was shattered in mid-air by the stone and fell to the table.

The sleepy Agarwood woke up, standing beside Gu Mingxiu with heavy eyebrows, staring at Ning Fei coldly, not looking energetic at all.

Gu Mingxiu finished the next sentence: "- Shen Xian has always been in love with Shen Qingqing." ”

opened his mouth, and Ning Fei's expression suddenly felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. She took two steps back and sneered: "Yes! I like the Sixth Highness! But、But I'm not going to be so calculating! I won't! ”

"Of course you will." Gu Mingxiu's eyes were faint and faint.

"You'll even kill her with your own hands."

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
