204. Flute
The reason why it is difficult to recognize is because she changed into a national attire: she wears a black baotou, two red tassels hang down from both sides of the baotou, and gently touch the large hoop earrings; The top is an embroidered placket on the right side, which is also inlaid with bright red, and the bottom is also a long skirt with black trim, and the red embellishment is very conspicuous.
It's the kind of thing that you won't react to at first glance, but when you look at it again, you feel that she has no sense of disobedience like this, and it can set off her fair and beautiful more than ordinary clothes. She had a black flute in her hand, which was pressed between her lips.
I was no stranger to the flute, I knew she worked in a musical instrument shop, and what she was good at was the flute. She has played it in front of me more than once, and she still plays this tune, and I remember when she proudly told me that this was the first piece she had learned, and it was called "Partridge Flying". But I don't understand the rhythm, I'm not interested, so I always listen to it and forget it.
She used to smile and say that I am to music as she is to painting, they all belong to their respective fields of non-aggression. I didn't think anything at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid she has something to say, and she has a deep meaning.
Because I saw that as she came to the end, Mei Jiugu, who was standing straight in the Gu pool, slowly sat back in place, and the poison in the pool was rotating around her in an orderly manner, and slowly crawled back on her body until it covered her.
Secretly shocked in her heart, according to this situation, it seems that she is using the flute to manipulate these poisons and even manipulate Mei Jiugu?
After the last note of the flute fell, the Gu Pond returned to calm, and the space fell silent. She put down the flute and looked this way, her gaze gently crossed over Gu Xi's body and landed on my face, and after meeting my gaze in the air for two seconds, she said, "Wish, you are finally here." ”
There was no surprise or ostentation in her tone, just a faint calm, as if my appearance was expected by her, and as if she had been waiting for me for a long time.
Indeed, with the friendship with which I have intervened for several years, she knows a lot about my character. So I know how to choke my dead knot and hold Cen Xi and He Zhixu and the others, even if they can't control us, it is impossible to leave us alone after all, not to mention, the main chess she brought me here has never been revealed.
Strictly speaking, the advantage we occupy on the road has become almost zero in this cottage. At present, except for me and Gu Xi, the rest of the people have become pawns in her hands.
She didn't seem to want me to answer, and only glanced at Mei Jiugu in the pool, "Their mother and daughter almost killed you without permission, and now this little punishment can be regarded as venting for you." ”
Hearing this, I looked at Mei Jiugu in shock, she said that this is a small punishment for Mei Gu and the others, or is it because of me?
Then Mei Jiugu has become like this, what happened to the lame Mei Gu above? There is also a very fierce mother-in-law Zhang, who has not seen anyone so far. As if he knew what I was thinking, he only heard Zhu Keyun say lightly: "Old Lady Zhang has nothing to do, she is just an old slave who is a fox and a tiger, and she has tried this Gu pool for Mei Jiugu first." As for the lame Aunt Mei, she kept it as a watchdog if she still had some use. ”
I narrowed my eyes, and a chill ran through my heart. At this time, Zhu Ke is no longer the weak and amiable girl in my impression, and she didn't even blink her eyes when she made a decision to kill between words, and she put it into action.
If you think about it, it means that after I left my hometown that time, she brought Aunt Mei and the three of them to this mountain village? And what about her...... I looked at her clothes and couldn't help asking, "Are you from Yunnan?" ”
The corners of Zhu Ke's calm mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at me with an almost sad gaze, "Wish, you have never tried to understand me. Even though you seem to think of me as your best friend on the surface, you still keep me out of your heart in your bones. Have you seen my parents in all the years you've known you? Do you know where my hometown is? ”
I really didn't hear her mention her parents in my impression, and I only thought she was single and working hard outside like myself, and I didn't inquire about her family. I saw her brush the red tassel next to her sideburns and then said: "You must not know what kind of ethnic costume this is, the name of our clan has disappeared from historical records, if you want to trace the history, it may be until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period." Mozi you must be familiar with, legend has it that he is the ancestor of our clan, and it is also the Mo school founded by him that gave rise to the Mo clan. It belongs to the Han faction, I don't know which generation it passed on, because of some reasons incognito into the mountains, and after merging with the local mountain people, the Mo people gradually broke away from the world, and began to exist in the deep mountains without asking about the world. ”
Who doesn't know Mozi's name? In addition to Taoism and Legalism, the most talked about among the hundred sons is the Mo family, and he is a saint who is praised together with Lao Tzu and Confucius.
The outside world is even more speculative about the Mo family, but I have never heard of a Mo family.
After a moment of silence, I asked, "So you grew up here?" Why did you go to Pingcheng later? ”
Zhu Ke pursed the corners of his lips, looked at me fixedly, and said, "For you." She pointed at Mei Jiugu in the pool with her flute, "I believe you should have seen my sincerity." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer: "You don't have to be clever anymore, she and Aunt Mei above can not die because they still have use value, don't say it so beautifully for me." ”
Zhu Ke was stunned, his expression was stunned for a second, and then he laughed: "Wish, you have to believe one thing: I am the last person in the world who doesn't want you to have anything to do, because I need you." ”
I inevitably sneered in my heart, she needed me to bring me all the way to Yunnan, just to let me help her complete something. I didn't want to think too much about snakes, so I spread it out and said: "Let's not talk about your so-called purpose, my people have arrived in Yunnan, you can let the people who should be released." ”
"Who should be put on? Do you mean those people up there or ......" She paused here deliberately, staring at me with a smirk on her face. At this moment, Gu Xi's body in front of her suddenly moved, and her eyes suddenly sank, and she shouted: "Don't move!" I know that you are not afraid of poison, but there is this medicine man who Mei Jiugu used blood spells and Gu poison to refine here, but you can try to see if she can hurt you. What's more, don't forget that the people above and Tong Ying are still in my hands. ”
Gu Xi said lazily: "What are you nervous about? Ye just stood on his feet and changed his posture. He actually stepped back over to me and half-leaned on one of my shoulders. Looking at his relaxed posture, even I couldn't figure out what he was trying to do just now.
Zhu Ke snorted coldly and said, "I know you are powerful, but since I planted it in your hands once, there will be no second time." ”
"Really?" Listening to Gu Xi's indifferent rhetorical question, my heart skipped half a beat. At that moment, I felt a flash of inspiration in my mind, but I didn't have time to catch it too quickly, but I vaguely felt that this person had never acted so passively. And on the way here, he once said a sentence: active and passive, he prefers the former.
So it shouldn't be the passive situation that we are in now, but I don't see how I can get the initiative back.
These thoughts swirled in my mind, but I was still watching quietly, and just now she had a sentence that revealed a key message. She said, "Don't forget that the people above and Tong Ying are still in her hands." But there was no mention of my father......
The mood is two-sided and complicated, one is that she feels that at least the worst situation is not the worst, and her father may not be under her control; The second is that even if I found a trace of him in the farm, it was many years ago, and now I don't know when I will really find him when I come to Yunnan.
The shadow left by Yu weighed heavily on his body like a mountain, and up to this point, he still hadn't been able to see who he really was. At this point, I naturally can't think that Zhu Keyu anymore, she may be scheming, but Yu will not reveal her identity so simply. This is a person whose scheming is comparable to Gu Xi and can fight with him between the best.
When he returned to his eyes, he saw that Zhu Ke's eyes were bright and extinguished after Gu Xi's provocative rhetorical question, and he then raised the transverse flute and blew it lightly.
I thought that she didn't agree with her and wanted to control Mei Jiugu to deal with us, but seeing that Mei Jiugu in the Gu Pond didn't move, and the poison in the Gu Pond didn't fluctuate much, I didn't feel like I was wondering in my heart.
The sound of the flute has changed, and it is no longer the same tune as before, it is just a single note.
I quickly understood what this meant, because a person slowly came out of the hole where she came up just now, even if she had her back to us, she could recognize it as Tong Ying at a glance, and her clothes were also changed into a black national costume similar to Zhu Ke, but there was no difference in the edge and color of the Baotou clothes.
Obviously, the flute sounded like a command.
And I saw that the expression on Tong Ying's face was very wrong, his eyes were dull, and he didn't even glance at this side.
With her loyalty and obedience to Gu Xi, this is impossible.
In the afterglow, he caught a glimpse of Gu Xi's eyebrows raised, but his face was still expressionless. At this time, I don't know where he got the confidence to be so calm, and at a glance, I knew that Tong Ying was controlled by Zhu Ke, which explained why Tong Ying had reversed several times before. As for the imprint left along the way, I'm afraid it was also assigned by Zhu Ke.
