Chapter 50: The Disfigured Demon
Chapter 50: The Disfigured Demon
When leaving Tianshunhe, the shopkeeper sent a box to the carriage, "The hairpin you ordered." ”
Shi Zhongyu was a little puzzled, because she didn't buy anything this time, but it was not good to refuse on the street, so she accepted it first. When the carriage moved, she opened the delicate Lin Oriole Bird Pattern Brocade Box, and first saw an orchid plain note, which was written by Murong Chu.
His words are strong and powerful, sharp as knives and axes, but restrained as a mountain, and he is really like a person. What about Murong Weike? He couldn't write at all, but the black bump also had a stubborn and arrogant energy. If you look at the words of these two brothers as weapons, one is a majestic hammer, and the other is a peerless demon knife.
Thinking about that person again? I don't want to, I don't
Shi Zhongyu shook his head, exerting too much force, and almost hit his head on the wall of the car. I finally settled down, and when I understood the meaning of the letter, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
This hairpin was given to her by Murong Chu, but why did Hao Duanduan give her a gift? Even if it's not her birthday, there's nothing to celebrate.
The hairpin is only silver, it seems that the value is not high, but the craftsmanship is very exquisite, the playful grass insect look, very ancient cartoon sense, at first glance it is not made by Tianshun and such a jewelry shop. What's more advanced is that the pearl with the size of a dragon's eye on the hairpin is a rare black pearl. Because of this bead, the value of this hairpin is high. It can even be said that it is too expensive.
Shi Zhongyu hesitated for a moment.
To collect or not to collect? Don't accept it, right? It seems to refute Murong Chu's face. Although the black pearl is extremely precious in this time, space and era, the dignified king can still get it, and if he refuses, it seems to look down on others. Take it? Their brother and sister and King Ling are just using each other's relationship, to be honest, King Ling has given too much, but he hasn't gotten anything yet. Now there is nothing to do...... She was afraid that one day when she had to pay it back, she would not be able to pay it back.
Forget it, let's wait until we get through Lao Ye's new conspiracy, and discuss it with my brother.
Their brother and sister have always come up with ideas from her with a bad heart, and her brother who is super active but has a tepid appearance will operate and execute it. In fact, her "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" plan is quite simple, isn't it just that the thieves are worried about it, then let them succeed, as long as they don't hurt Ye Mingwen's interests.
The reason why this plan was decided was based on the chaotic and unplanned layout of the port of Xihai Tianyi Island, and it was flexibly used. The planning in the modern city is either a chess-shaped road or a circle, but the cargo hold area of Tianyi Island Port is a tangled serpentine, unless the porter who comes and goes here every day, others will always be dizzy when they walk into this place. When she came to the cargo hold, she walked through the labyrinthine passage for more than an hour.
What makes strangers distinguish the road is the ubiquitous road signs. The locals still feel that the terrain is confusing, but don't the people from the outer islands even more confused? In order to hide people's eyes and ears, it is impossible for people who believe that they want to step on the point to appear often, carefully study and discern. And some things must be done when the moon is dark and the wind is high, so as long as you use a little hands and feet on the street signs, point the east corner to the west corner, and make a few night patrols misleading, the result is self-evident.
What a trick to borrow a knife to kill people, borrow their knife, kill their people. Although it is a bit risky, when the dust settles and thinks about Lao Ye's wonderful face, it is worth the risk.
In view of the principle of the speed of the soldiers, since the other party's people came, it was impossible to ambush for a long time, so Shi Zhongyu and Ye Mingwen also actively prepared here, and when they were almost arranged, Shi Zhongyu was idle, and went to Wanchang Silk Village and Garment Workshop to order a lot of clothes, and then returned to Hanshan Garden.
It was already hot, and she was sweating from stinky sweat outside, and when she came home, although it was already evening, she still couldn't eat, so she ordered to take a bath before setting the meal. Anyway, in order to prevent Aunt Jiang's people from being poisoned, she had already opened a small kitchen, and even the ingredients were purchased by her own people, and she never bought them at home, so no matter when she ate it, no matter what she ate, she had the final say.
"Let's all go and rest, I want to soak a little longer." She instructed the girls, "You'd better eat first, and then turn around so that you can have time to wait for me." If she didn't say that, the girls wouldn't dare eat in front of her.
But shopping is really hard work, she is very tired, and she can't wait to melt in the water. And she was still not used to being waited to take a bath, and in modern times she didn't even go to a public bathhouse, and she was a little embarrassed to expose her body in front of women.
The people in Hanshan Garden knew her habit, so they all obediently retreated and closed the door instead. Xiao Man, who is a good cook, went to the kitchen to help her make some refreshing appetizers, and Da Man still moved a small stool to sit in front of the door, beware of her in case she called someone. Da Han and Xiao Han went to patrol the courtyard, locked the door, and beckoned the little girl and her mother-in-law to eat in the courtyard outside, so as not to disturb her. The people in the hospital perform their duties and are well organized.
Shi Zhongyu soaked in the wooden barrel for a long time, and only got up when he was almost squinting, and he didn't dry his body, but wrapped a thick white cotton cloth that was very absorbent, and his hair was still dripping, and he came out from behind the screen.
Whew, taking a shower is cool and comfortable.
She walked barefoot to the dresser and wiped her hair in the mirror. This mirror was given to her by her brother, and it is two feet square, which is very valuable in this era. Poor Ye Mingyu, as the daughter of the richest man in Xihai, could only use a brass mirror before, which shows what kind of life the original owner of this body lived before.
I wiped my hair, slowly combed it, and draped it over my shoulders so casually. Although ancient women's long hair was very troublesome, fortunately, ancient women were not as busy and hard as modern white-collar workers, and there was still time for self-care.
She grabbed the white cloth on her body, which was only half of her chest and less than her knees, and was about to tear it off so that she could wipe it on the protective oil imported from overseas, which was similar to essential oils, when a lazy voice suddenly sounded behind her, "If this king doesn't take it off if you don't take it off, otherwise everything will be seen." ”
Shi Zhongyu was so shocked that even his heart seemed to explode, and his breathing was cut off instantly.
The voice...... The voice......
Even if she couldn't see anyone, even if she didn't have to turn around, she knew who the voice belonged to. Because how many times in her dreams did she hear this voice and call to her...... Xiaoyu, the ends of the world, the poor and the yellow springs, you can't escape.
She couldn't move, just like that sentence was like a wonderful immobilization method that pinned her to the spot.
Her eyes widened and she looked in the mirror.
Slowly, a figure appeared clearly in the mirror...... Vine blue Taoist robe, loose hair, the costume of a Taoist priest. Nothing else can be seen. But that face ...... That peerless face...... The flesh was tangled and twisted, dark purple-red, and extremely ugly, as if it had been badly burned. Only those eyes were as pure evil as she had seen them at the beginning. But also, pure loneliness.
Shi Zhongyu was released from the immobilization spell because his wound stung her heart. The pain made her regain her senses, and she no longer had any worries, turned around and threw herself into Murong Ke's arms.
"Why are you here?" She cried.
"So, you're waiting for this king?" Murong Ke stood upright and didn't hug back. His voice was soft, as if he was sighing, and yet so unreal.
Shi Zhongyu didn't speak, because there were some things that didn't need to be said. She raised her head and wanted to touch Murong Ke's scarred face, but Murong Ke turned her head sideways and dodged away.
"This king is like this, do you still recognize it?" There was some mockery in Murong Ke's tone, which sounded even more distressing.
"You were turned to ashes, and you were blown away by the wind, and you fell into the sea, and I know you."
Murong Ke smiled lightly, sounding a little pleasant, "It seems to be ...... You hate this king very much. ”
