CHAPTER XII
Wu Zhen poured me a cup of tea and whispered, "If something happens later, don't panic or be afraid, I'm here." ”
I nodded obediently.
Before the tea was drunk, someone came over at the next table and saluted Wu Zhen: "The junior Wei Man, a disciple of Pingluo Island, has seen Mrs. Mingyue, but I don't know that Mrs. is also here this time, so I didn't have time to meet Mrs., please don't blame Mrs." ”
Wu Zhen nodded: "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't be polite, your master didn't come?" ”
"The master is in retreat, and I came with a senior brother."
I happened to look at her curiously, and Wu Zhen pointed at me: "Come and see, this is my apprentice Qi Sheng." ”
I wish I could bury my head under the table, I didn't worship her as a teacher! But you can't say it out loud right now.
I stood up and saluted Wei Man, and I didn't know what to call it, so I said vaguely, "Sister Wei is good." ”
"It turns out that Mrs. has accepted the apprentice, congratulations, Sister Qi is very smart at a glance, if my master knows, he will definitely be happy for Mrs."
Wu Zhen said: "Our table is empty, you can come and sit together." ”
Wei Man smiled and said, "Yes, I want to talk to my wife a lot." ”
She sat down next to Wu Zhen's left hand and whispered, "I just heard that the disciples of Madame Guihong suffered a big loss yesterday, and they are wondering what it is, do they dare to trouble Madame?" ”
Wu Zhen smiled happily: "Well, it's just that there is no one in the eyes of a few juniors, so it's not a trouble." She pointed to the collar around my neck: "Well, this is one of the winning lotteries, and it belongs to the little apprentice who Guihong is most proud of." ”
Weyman was laughing, but I could tell she was a little unnatural. The woman in red who was glaring at me just now seemed to think Wei Man was one of us, and she greeted her with hateful eyes.
After all, not everyone dares to provoke and offend like Wu Zhen, and I think Wei Man is a little restless.
This Guihong lady is probably very difficult to mess with, just looking at the expression of the woman in red, you know that this person's temperament must be cruel and vicious. From the apprentice to the inference of the master, Mrs. Guihong is afraid that she is not a kind and tolerant person.
This can't be blamed on Wei Man, she is completely innocent, just came to say hello, and was beckoned to sit down together, which made people hate.
Wei Man asked me how old I was and when I arrived at the North Sword Pavilion. I also asked her: "Pingluo Island is far away, are there many people?" ”
"Pingluo Island is south, overseas, and it is extremely far away from the North Sword Pavilion, and it has been on the road for almost a month. There are a lot of people on our island, and the scenery is good, Sister Qi is free, let's go as a guest with Mrs. Mingyue. ”
The number of guests in the hall gradually increased, the seats of the female guests and the male guests were separated by a screen, and the male guests spoke more and more loudly, buzzing into a loud and loud sound, which seemed particularly noisy, and suddenly I don't know who slammed the table and shouted: "It's useless to talk more, let's see the real chapter, let's go, everyone here is a witness." If I lose to you, I'll chop off this right hand and make amends for you!" ”
This man's voice was hoarse, and he listened to it like an iron tool scraping porcelain, and I heard it until my hairs stood on end, and I shivered twice.
The people next to him persuaded one after another, and one of them said: "We are all here to be guests, the girl is happy to come out of the pavilion, what is the matter with you who move swords and swords?" Some people also said: "Brother Liu, you can't compare with any day, if you don't compare it in the North Sword Pavilion, it's such a good day, it's really not appropriate." If you want me to say, Brother Duan doesn't mean to look down on you, but on the matter, don't hurt the harmony. ”
Wu Zhen whispered: "This person has not grown up at all for many years, and it is no wonder that his father entrusted all the family business and sect to his younger brother." The older you are, the more you mix, the less you grow. ”
Wei Man asked softly, "Madam, who is this person?" ”
"You know the Green Pine Swordsman, right?"
"I've heard of it."
"This is Liu Cheng, the elder brother of the Qingsong swordsman Liu Ting."
In terms of name, Liu Cheng sounds more atmospheric than Liu Ting.
There was a lot of noise outside, and that Liu Cheng never gave up, and there was a loud noise, and it sounded like the dishes and teacups were all smashed into the ground and shattered into pieces.
"The surname is Duan, if you want to think that you are a turtle with a shrunken head, and make amends and admit your mistakes in public, then Grandpa Liu will not care about you today!"
It became quieter and quieter outside the screen, and the people who had been persuaded before were silent.
"Liu Cheng, I just put up with you for the sake of the master's face, you kicked your nose in the face, compared to you, I was afraid of you? However, the sword has no eyes, and if you are not careless when you do it, and you have a little less of your shortcomings, then you can't blame others. ”
Listening to the two people walking out, the person on the other side of the screen suddenly hulala out a large area, almost empty.
Wei Man was puzzled and whispered, "Why don't the people from the Wen Mansion come out to take care of it." ”
"It doesn't matter." Wu Zhen turned his head and asked me, "Do you want to go and see?" ”
I shook my head.
I'm not a sword learner, and I'm too lazy to join in the fun.
Wei Man said: "I want to see how the elder brother of the Green Pine Swordsman is, can the lady go?" ”
Wu Zhen said, "I won't go." ”
Weiman got up and went out. Female guests are not like male customers, although they also want to see the excitement, but for the sake of reserve, many people just watch through the screen.
I watched Wei Man's figure go around the screen, and guessed that even after a while, she might not come back to sit at our table.
A maid in a pink dress came over and saluted Wu Zhen, and whispered, "Mrs. Mingyue, my lady invites you to come into the inner hall to speak." ”
I turned my head a little puzzled, Wu Zhen looked at the maid, her gaze was as sharp as a sword, and the maid lowered her head to not meet her gaze.
"Isn't your lady sick?"
"Madame heard that you were coming, so she ordered her maid to come and invite her."
Wenfei's ...... Madame?
Wu Zhen turned his head to look at me, and I looked at her too.
She looked a little undecided, obviously not deciding whether to take me with her.
"This girl is here for tea and snacks, and I'll let a sister take care of her." The maid beckoned, and a maid in a green robe came over in the corner of the hall.
"No need, she's going to follow me."
I stood up, and Wu Zhen took my hand and followed the maid in pink clothes towards the back hall. Out of the hall, along the corridor zigzag forward, the flowers in the garden bloom like brocade, the fragrance is fragrant, there are pairs of water birds playing in the pond, the emerald head color feathers, look not like the mandarin ducks, can not be called.
Walking to the door of a courtyard, I looked up and saw that the door was written "Danxiaju", and when I opened the courtyard door, the flowers and trees in the courtyard were more abundant, and the unknown flowers were full of blooming all over the sky.
The maid said, "Madam, Madame Mingyue is here." ”
Someone inside said, "Hurry up and ask Mrs. Mingyue to come in." ”
The maid opened the curtain, and Wu Zhen took my hand and entered the door.
The tent in the house is low and the curtains are hanging, much darker than the outside, and there is incense burning, although the fragrance is also good, but it is not as fresh and natural as the fragrance of flowers outside, and there is a dull and turbid feeling.
The maid rolled up the curtain, and a woman slowly stood up and whispered, "Sister Zhen, are you here?" I thought you wouldn't want to see me again. ”
Wu Zhen said coldly: "I just want to see if you have married Ruyi Langjun, whether you have lived a happy life over the years, and you are as happy as a fairy." ”
The woman smiled slightly bitterly and lowered her head: "I'm happy or not, don't you already know." ”
She is very beautiful, but her skin is extremely white, so white that she is not half bloody, her eyebrows and eyes are light, she does not use fat powder, and the whole person is like a feeling of light ink painted on thin cotton paper, shallow and light, not smart and not fresh, it seems that the wind is stronger, and she can be blown down.
"What is this?"
"This is my vain." Wu Zhen didn't say my name, nor did she let me greet her. She didn't seem to care, and instructed the pink-clothed maid just now: "Xiaolian, you take this little girl to the pavilion to play, I will talk to Mrs. Mingyue for a while, let people watch the door, don't let people come in and disturb." ”
Xiaolian answered, came over and wanted to hold my hand, I shrank back and looked up at Wu Zhen.
"Go ahead, don't run around, something calls me."
————————————————-
This chapter is made up for yesterday.。。 Ask for a ticket.
Provoking the mezzanine between two and three...
I'm sorry everyone, but today I found out that there was a chapter missing in the middle...... Ahem, make up for it now.
Xiaolian really led me to the pavilion in the garden, and said with a smile: "The flowers in our garden continue to be all year round, and the scenery is more beautiful than the place next to the house. What does the girl want to eat and drink? I'll have someone bring it to you. ”
I only smiled and didn't speak, and when she asked me again, I twisted the corner of my clothes, and Xiaolian asked people to bring four plates of fruits and a pot of tea.
"Can I pick this flower?"
Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "If the girl likes it, pick it, our lady's yard usually doesn't let people in, and even a few young ladies in our family can't easily enter, which one you like, I'll pick it for you." ”
I grabbed a piece of rose cake and pointed to the white flowers in the distance. She froze for a moment, looked at me, and walked over to me.
I quickly seized the opportunity, pinched my earlobe with my thumb and middle finger, and recited the mantra in my mind.
The rustling of the wind, the sound of flowers and leaves.
Then came the woman's voice, which grew from far to near, from vague to clear.
"Do you regret it?" This is Wu Zhen's voice.
"Regrets?" Wen Fei's wife whispered, "Why should I regret it? I have got what I want, I have a husband and a daughter. If I want to say regret, I do regret one thing, but not for Wen Fei, but for Wu Ning. ”
"You don't even deserve to mention her name. Yes, you are doing well now, like a living dead, your husband does not love you, and your daughter will follow in your footsteps, so this can be regarded as inheriting your mantle. ”
"You know you hate me."
"I hated you, but now I don't hate you." Wu Zhen's tone was full of contempt and pity: "None of you are happy, because you used all your scheming at the beginning, and in the end you became the way you are now." ”
"Wu Ning...... Strange to say, I've been dreaming about her lately. ”
This time, Wu Zhen didn't speak.
Xiaolian bent down to pick the flowers in the distance, looked up at me, and I smiled at her from afar, listening intently to what they had to say in the room.
It's strange that no one has ever taught me this spell, but I know it myself. It's like opening a page of a book, and the contents automatically come to my mind. With this spell, you can hear the sound you want to hear within a radius of ten zhang, and you can't go any further, and it just so happens that this pavilion is not more than ten zhang away from the house.
Mrs. Wen sighed: "Maybe I'm about to go to see her when my deadline is approaching." What will I say to her then? ”
Say whatever you want, say more.
I was waiting for her next sentence intently, suddenly it was dark in front of me, my neck was tight, I opened my mouth but couldn't make a sound, the whole person was dragged backwards by the dead button, the jagged teeth on the leaf edge of the flower bush and the small thorns on the flower branches hooked on the clothes on the face of the hand, I vaguely heard Xiaolian shouting Miss Qi, but I couldn't respond.
Cutting through the flowers, the man who grabbed me grabbed me by the neck and grabbed me under the armpit and ran away. The whole body was in hot pain, and then the suffocation made the pain become numb, I inhaled hard, but my neck was pinched too tightly, so that I scratched and scratched the man's arm with both hands, but my strength was too small, I was afraid that it would not be enough to scratch the man.
The man walked into a room and finally stopped, but did not let go of his hand.
Someone in the room said, "Caught? ”
"Yes, this little ghost is alone in the pavilion in a daze!"
"Did anyone see that?"
"No, there are not many people in the garden of Danxiaju."
Both were women.
My hair was pulled back, and my face involuntarily lifted up.
It's her.
The woman in red clothes who used an eye knife to cut me and Wu Zhen countless times in the hall.
She removed the collar from my neck and motioned for the woman holding me to let me go.
I fell to the ground, and a huge amount of air rushed into my chest, and I choked and coughed.
"I heard you're her apprentice......" She only said half a sentence and kicked me backwards.
"What skills has your master taught you, let us see."
She's angry, I know.
She was defeated by Wu Zhen, but she turned to me to vent her anger.
"Lightly, don't kill her."
"What are you afraid of, didn't you say no one saw it?"
"In the end, Miss Wen Yier wants to do a happy event, which is unlucky."
Something fishy spilled out from the corner of my mouth, and I wiped my mouth and stepped back a little with my hands propped up.
"You say, if you chop off her hands and feet and send it to that slut, what will be the expression on her face? Well? ”
She smiled maliciously, her eyes wandering over my hands and feet, as if assessing the idea of slashing first.
She pulled out her knife, her eyes hurting with the bright light of the blade.
This woman wasn't trying to scare me, she really wanted to cut off my hands and feet.
I raised my head and straightened my back, my hands clasped behind my back.
There was a soft sound, and the room suddenly became pitch black, like a tank for washing ink, and there was no light at all.
The woman let out a scream and reacted, "Shut the door!" Shut the door! ”
The darkness was only for a moment, and suddenly the room lit up again, and the two men looked at each other, and suddenly chased out of the house together.
None of them looked at me, even though I was standing by the wall, not moving.
They can't see me.
The darkness was an illusion just now, and the light is still an illusion.
It's like the night we were on the boat, the jungle was the illusion, the desert was the illusion, and in the end when you thought you were back on the ship, you were still in the illusion.
I've heard my master talk about it, and I've heard Wu Zhen talk about two or three of these tricks, but I didn't expect to be able to use this illusion array, which is already a bit like it.
But I don't have the strength to hold it up for long, at most...... At most, it's just a few moments. If the two of them had chased me out slowly, they might have noticed that I was actually curled up in the corner.
I slowly climbed up against the wall, my whole body hurt, and my bones should not be broken.
The two men had run away, and my eyes were black for a while, looking for the way I came.
Ah, I see.
Crush the crumbs of the rose cake.
I had a piece of cake in my hand when I was caught just now, and I struggled to rub it along the way, and the cake was already twisted and broken, and the cake crumbs fell to the ground.
I didn't go far, a dozen steps? Dozens of steps? Listening to the footsteps, they hurried towards this direction.
Oops, they've got it back?
I can't use a single illusion now, I can't run, my heart is in a hurry, my steps are even faster, and I fall heavily to the ground.
"Qi Sheng?"
It was a man's voice.
I turned my head in horror.
The man looked shocked and angry: "Who hurt you like this!" ”
"Goose, goose senior?"
The man who came made me stunned at first, and then my whole body relaxed.
It's not a person from Qi Mansion, it's Yan San'er of the Wild Goose Tower.
