Chapter 15: The Bandits' Lair (Part II)
In the dead of night, there is always a white mist lingering in the room of silver beads, if it is seen in the early morning, it will only be said that it is a fairyland on earth, but this night, the misty fog is a little weird.
Outside the house, the turtledove cooed, as if sensing something. When the turtledove called again, the woman lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes were clear, and she did not feel sleepy at all.
She glanced at the man who was sleeping soundly beside her, and a mocking smile gradually appeared on her lips.
The moonlight fell into the house through the window lattice, and Yinzhu carefully propped herself up, stepped on the edge of the bed and jumped.
She changed her clothes in a stumbling manner, dressed herself plainly and simply, and combed her hair into the style of a girl who had not left the pavilion. In front of the diamond mirror, the silver beads were pasted with exquisite flowers, and a layer of lipstick was carefully smeared. I didn't know what I thought, and suddenly I lowered my head and smiled shyly.
Out of the door, Yinzhu carried a basket, and walked to the depths of the sea of flowers, there was a cliff cave at the end of the sea of flowers, and the cliff cave was dark and dark, and someone had heard a woman whispering in it, and the voice was long and complaining, which made people creepy. Therefore, no one usually comes.
Yinzhu stood in front of the cliff cave, sorting out his clothes a little nervously, making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, so he took a deep breath, stepped on the stone steps covered with moss, and stepped into the cliff cave.
She took out the lamp in the basket, lit it with a fire breaker, and walked slowly into the depths of the cave, step by step.
It was very cold in the cave, and she carefully guarded the light in the lamp, and there were many bats flying along the way, and even one or two passed by her ears, and according to a normal woman, she would have screamed in fright.
But she just stroked her messed hair twice, cursed secretly, and continued to walk without being affected in the slightest.
When he saw the figure, Yinzhu's cheeks turned red, and he quickly blew out the lamp. Put things aside, get down on one knee, and stand straight.
"Master, everything is in plan."
The man, known as the master, leaned against the big rock, his dark clothes lined his skin, and a silver mask rested silently on his face.
"You're doing a good job." The man's voice was deliberately lowered, "Then Meng Yuyun wants to have some doubts about this village, and you can find someone to reveal more to her tomorrow." ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Yinzhu raised her head a little shyly, "Master, do you have any other orders?" ”
The man chuckled sullenly, his laughter was a little eerie, his fierce gaze shot straight at the woman kneeling on the ground, disdain and disgust filled his eyes,
"What? Do you still want to warm my bed? ”
Yinzhu's mind was punctured, and her face was a little unpleasant, but she still reluctantly maintained a smile and said, "My subordinates don't dare."
"Dirty, put away your mind! Get lost! ”
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" was scolded for being dirty, and a stream of liquid obviously gushed out of Yinzhu's eyes, but it was a pity that the man didn't see it, or he wouldn't care if he saw it.
When Yinzhu returned to the house, no one had gotten up yet, she looked at the white mist that was entwined around the room, and there was an unforgettable hatred in her eyes, but she hid it well, and those hatreds were fleeting.
Yinzhu walked to the table against the lattice, where there was an incense burner of fine workmanship, which she extinguished, poured the ashes into the handkerchief she had brought with her, and put it away.
Meng Yuyun got up early this morning, and just as she wanted to go and pick the petals first, she found a basket of newly picked petals outside Yinzhu's house. She walked over and touched it, but it was still wet.
She looked into the room, and it was empty.
"I picked the flowers, and when you get up, they'll all be sunburned," Yinzhu walked over and wiped her freshly washed hands, "Go and wash your clothes." ”
Meng Yuyun glanced at the petals in the basket and felt that this matter was wrong.
Yinzhu is such a lazy woman, she is not even ashamed to let Meng Yuyun wash her belly pocket, how can such a person get up early in the morning to pick flowers?
Meng Yuyun lowered her head and looked at Yinzhu's shoes silently, the face of the embroidered shoes was wet, and the soles of the shoes were stuck with some dirt and moss.
Today, the big tiger lady didn't come to the stream to wash clothes, and the little tiger didn't come either, she greeted the aunts on the same side, and those aunts just smiled perfunctorily, and moved to the side, and stopped when they were a little far away from her.
Meng Yuyun knew that Xu had asked too many questions yesterday, which made the big tiger girl suspicious, and she talked to these women again. The big tiger lady may be worried that she will continue to ask, so she deliberately did not come.
Meng Yuyun tried to keep the smile on her face, and when she was pounding her clothes with a mallet, her eyes looked at the cliff cave in the depths of the sea of flowers. Last time she wanted to go and see, the big tiger hurriedly stopped her, saying that there were ghosts inside. Meng Yuyun never believed in ghosts and gods, so she had always been curious about that place.
"There's a cave there, and everyone says it's haunted, so don't even think about going to see it! Scary! At some point, a woman came beside her, delicate and upright, and her body was very thin.
Meng Yuyun raised her eyebrows, feeling that this woman's appearance was really unfamiliar, so she asked, "Auntie, I don't seem to have seen you?" How long have you been in this village? ”
The woman smiled, "I'm not in good shape, I don't move around much, you don't know I'm normal." When I came to this village, most of the women hadn't come yet! ”
Meng Yuyun's eyes lit up, she rolled her eyes, and asked a little tactfully: "This village is not connected to the outside, so are these aunts all natives?"
The woman smiled, she looked at both ends to make sure that no one was looking this way, and then approached Meng Yuyun's ear and whispered, "I tell you, it's all from outside!" Let's just talk about the big tiger! Once upon a time in Chang'an, I don't know which Rouge Fang shopkeeper's wife was divorced, and was rescued by Dahu's father when he hanged himself. There are so many women like this in our village! ”
Rouge shop shopkeeper? The deceased in a homicide? Isn't that familiar piece of jade pendant the one that was ripped away from the Ministry of Rites? Lu Shang once showed her the drawings of the jade pendant, no wonder......
Meng Yuyun suddenly realized, she clutched her chest and looked shocked, and the entangled mysteries in her heart were solved at once. She bit her lip with some excitement, and an inexplicable emotion rolled in her heart.
The woman on the side squinted her eyes, and saw that Meng Yuyun didn't take care of herself, so she picked up her things and left.
Meng Yuyun suppressed her joy, lowered her head and thought about the woman's words just now, few people go to the cliff cave over there? Could it be that there is some hidden secret over there? Or is it a way out of the stockade?
Thinking like this, Meng Yuyun couldn't sit still anymore, she looked to the side, most of the aunts who were washing clothes were gone, and the few were chatting about their own daily life, and no one paid attention to her. Meng Yuyun gritted her teeth, and the cat ran in the direction of the cliff cave with a puff of smoke.
The cave was overgrown with creepers, and from time to time two droplets of water fell to the ground, and the moss on the ground was stepped on, leaving a few small shoe prints. It was very cold in the cave, and a gust of wind blew out, which made Meng Yuyun shiver in the heat of summer.
The shoe prints on the ground are very small, and they look like they were left by the woman's house. Meng Yuyun lowered her body and touched the moss, recalling the abnormality of the silver beads in the morning and the dirt on her shoes.
Meng Yuyun can be sure that the homicide in Chang'an was caused by the man in this village, but in this case, what kind of role does Yinzhu play? She is a maid at the head of a large family, how can she say that she entered the village when she entered the village?
Meng Yuyun was falling into her own contemplation, not noticing that a figure behind her was approaching in her direction.
"Looks like you're doing a good job here."
The familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her, Meng Yuyun was stunned, inexplicable joy collapsed her entire heart like a flood beast, she swallowed her saliva, thinking that she was hallucinating.
Meng Yuyun turned his head slowly, and the man stood with his back lit, but he was not wearing a red dress, but a coarse cloth dress worn by a woodcutter.
Meng Yuyun took a closer look, and the joy in her heart suddenly fell silent, that face was not the one in her memory. This is a man with a big nose and thick lips, who looks very ordinary. Looking up again, those eyes were rolling with monstrous ink, and the rich color made Meng Yuyun's heart suffocate.
After so many days of fear and fear, it all turned into grievances at this moment, she didn't know why her nasal cavity was a little sour, and even her eyes were dry, and she wanted to cry.
"Why are you here?" Meng Yuyun choked up, looking like a child who couldn't get candy to eat.
Qin Jing'an couldn't help but laugh a little, he walked over and touched Meng Yuyun's hair, "You were kidnapped, can't I come to save you?" ”
Meng Yuyun reacted to her gaffe, she hurriedly lowered her head, wiped the tears that were about to fall out of her eyes, she smiled hard at Qin Jingan, and said softly: "Every time you see me embarrassed."
Qin Jingan smiled and nodded, he teased: "Do you want to kill people?"
Meng Yuyun was originally a little uncontrollable emotional, but when she heard this, she immediately laughed, and her white glutinous rice teeth bit her red lip, "I'm not!" ”
Qin Jing'an glanced thoughtfully at the green moss on the ground, the light in his eyes became a little weird, he pointed to his face, and there was a mocking smile on his lips, "You actually recognize me?" ”
"I recognize your eyes." Meng Yuyun was a little shy, she didn't say the second half of the sentence, these eyes were the most beautiful pair she had ever seen.
Qin Jingan looked left and right, and seemed to be a little jealous of this village, "I'll take you away, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”
"No! I can't go! Meng Yuyun shook her head firmly, she took Qin Jingan's hand with some excitement, pointed to this village, and there was light in her eyes, "The homicide case in Chang'an, the murderer is here!" ”
Qin Jing'an shook off the little girl's hand without leaving a trace, and the smile on his lips faded, "But what can we do?" All I can do is take you out, and I can't help you with the rest. ”
"No, you can help me!" The girl's immature voice was full of determination, "I'll look for evidence tonight, and tomorrow morning, you will go to the police." Let's just say that the murderer is here, let the yamen send someone to come over and encircle and suppress! ”
