Chapter 169: The Secret Under the Human Skin Mask

Last night, Ruan Si was injured by a mysterious master.

Although Yan Yingzhou fed her with the injury medicine, her injuries did not improve, her breath was disordered when she spoke, and she coughed up blood from her injuries at times.

Jin Ling'er and the silver bottle were in a hurry.

The two had already secretly hired the best doctor in the city to treat her injuries.

The upper and lower courtyards of the Yan family were closed, and the fragrance of Chinese medicine in the courtyard was permeated, and it was only said that the lady was infected with the cold.

Yan Yingzhou did not allow Ruan Si to get out of bed and move.

The silver bottle thought so, and Jin Ling'er stayed in front of Ruan Si's bed all day long.

Due to the effects of the drug, Ruan Si often fell asleep.

She woke up occasionally, and simply asked Yan Yingzhou Ke to come back, how was Wei Changsheng's whereabouts.

Wei Changsheng has asked someone to send a letter back, saying that he and Hongye were attacked halfway.

The two of them hid in the city, and there was no major problem for the time being.

The heart that Ruan Si was carrying was finally put back in his stomach.

She slept until early in the morning, only to hear someone call: "Girl, wake up." I have something to say to you. ”

Ruan Si felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was Jin Ling'er who was lying on the head of the bed and asleep, and there was a rickety figure behind the screen.

"Don't worry, I hit her in the hole with a secret weapon."

"Lu Bo?"

"Well, it's an old man."

Ruan Si propped up the bed with her elbows, a movement that made her cough briefly and violently.

"Girl, don't move, listen to me."

The person behind the screen seemed to be in a hurry, and he quickened his speech and said, "The old man is very short of time, and you have to listen carefully to everything I say." ”

Ruan Si let out a muffled "um" in his throat.

"More than ten years ago, I was also a well-known master in the rivers and lakes, just because of my one-handed disguise technique, I almost wanted to confuse the real with the fake."

Lu Bo smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Until I was caught by someone who didn't keep the Buddha, and asked me to disguise a little thief." ”

Ruan Si was shocked and pursed his lips.

"The fake gut-breaking man in the dark prison is the most perfect work of my life."

There was infinite embarrassment in his tone.

"Wrong, the old man's most proud human skin mask should be the one on my face! I've been wearing it for more than ten years, heh, it's more real than my cheek. ”

Ruan Si was so frightened that he bit his lip and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Girl, you don't know how terrifying the person you provoke is."

"After I disguised the little thief, they were going to kill me, but I escaped with the last human skin mask and hid from them for more than ten years."

Lu Bo raised his hand and grabbed a handful of gray hair, and the figure behind the screen was old and lonely.

"Do you think I'm crazy enough to hide in front of them?"

"Hahaha, if you can get rid of it, the old man will have left the world a long time ago, but their power is all over the place!"

Ruan thought about the Howling Mountain Tiger and guessed that it was a force derived from the Buddha of Immortality.

"Don't they all say that the most dangerous place is the safest place? I pretended to be crazy and stupid in Linquan Prison for more than ten years, just to survive. ”

"You say, who would suspect a stupid old man who boils chicken soup at the door of the prison all day?"

He's right.

No one can tell how many years the old man at the door has been here, only know that his surname is Lu, but no one knows what his full name is.

Because no one cares about such a despicable old man.

Lu Bo smiled bitterly: "I have wasted more than ten years of time, just to stare at them and avoid them, will you think that I am a coward?" ”

Ruan Si barely squeezed out a few words from between his lips, "If there is life, there is everything." ”

"Haha, girl, only you will say a few words to the old man."

Lu Bo's tone became a little sad, and he said in a low voice: "I rescued you last night and exposed my whereabouts, and now I am here to say goodbye to you." ”

Ruan Si clung to the futon, his heart was sour, and he didn't know what to say.

"If I hadn't been discovered, I would have worn this human skin mask and pretended to be a fool for the rest of my life at the gate of Linquan Prison."

"Lu Bo!"

"Speaking of which, I also miss my old face a little, and I can't even tell which one is the human skin mask."

Lu Bo threw a small package in.

"Girl, here is a human skin mask, I picked the face of a woman who most resembles your face."

Over the years, Lu Bo silently remembered the face of every prisoner who entered and left the prison.

Some of them died in prison without a sound.

Lu Bo imitated the faces of this kind of people the most, just because they were already dead, and there was no one in the world who wore that face.

"Although it is a small skill of carving insects, I am afraid that it can save your life at a critical moment, so I will leave it for you as a souvenir."

What he picked for Ruan Si was the face of a beautiful woman.

Years ago, the woman had already committed suicide in prison.

Ruan Si thanked him, struggled out of bed, reached out and picked up the small package and hid it.

"Girl, don't thank me, this is just a gift for you."

Lu Bo sighed deeply and said with a smile: "The peanut candy you gave me is the only gift I have received in my life. ”

Ruan Si's nose was sour, staring at the figure behind the screen, almost wanting to open his mouth to save it.

"Okay, little girl from Yan Si's prison family, old man, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face.

Ruan Si suddenly said, "Uncle Lu, I want to see your face." ”

If she can meet it again in the future, she will buy Lu Bo a large piece of peanut candy, melon seed crisp, and winter melon candy.

The figure behind the screen froze for a moment.

Lu Bo smiled bitterly: "That's it, it's better not to look at my face." If you receive my head another day, you can still treat it as a stranger. ”

His tone was playful and relaxed, but Ruan Si's heart sank straight down.

She felt that all her internal organs were burned on the fire, as if her whole body was going through painful suffering.

When she left Qinghe County, she received the head of the shopkeeper Wang.

She really didn't have the courage to keep Lu Bo.

There was more sunlight outside, as if it wasn't from this gloomy world.

Lu Bodao: "Girl, you really have to leave this time, what I told you, you can tell your husband." ”

"Uncle Lu, what's your name?"

"I think Uncle Lu is very good, it sounds like your uncle."

Lu Bo laughed a few times in a low voice and said, "If it was more than ten years ago, I would have let you see my true face, I was not that old." ”

Ruan Si gritted his teeth and forcibly held back without saying a word.

The door opened, pouring in a cool breeze, Jin Ling'er woke up from her sleep and muttered, "Why did the door open?" ”

Ruan Sihong looked at the screen.

It was empty.

A few days ago, thieves broke into Pei's house at night and disturbed Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei couldn't afford to be sick, and she couldn't barely get up to eat until today.

Pei Zhiyang was overjoyed, personally took care of his grandfather and ate some porridge, and when he was about to serve the old man to lie down, he was grabbed by Mrs. Pei's wrist.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Old Lady Pei's cloudy yellow eyes showed reluctance and worry.

But he quickly stared at Pei Zhiyang, his expression was loving and majestic, and said, "Good boy, go back to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
