Chapter 4: The Man Who Disappeared

Qianling looked at the man with affection, lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

How could she go to catch a leopard, but she just wanted to test a man's reaction and manipulate a man's character.

The man pondered for a moment, then walked out of the room and sat down at the table, and began to eat.

Qian Ling smiled, it can be seen that the man is by no means righteous on the surface.

Following out, Qianling sat next to the man, picked up chopsticks, helped with vegetables, and occasionally always looked at the man with appreciative eyes, smiling very gently.

"There are mushrooms on the hill and you can cook soup in the evening. Does Childe want to eat? Qianling asked.

The man ate casually, put down his chopsticks, then went into the house and picked up his sword, came out and said, "I'll go out on errands." Then he wrapped the spirit around his feet, flew up, and in a short time vanished.

Qian Ling put away his smile and threw away the chopsticks in his hand, naturally a little unhappy.

The time they spent facing each other, combined, did not exceed ten minutes.

But it's still a bit rewarding.

Although the man was only seventeen or eighteen, in the face of Qianling*'s naked seduction, he did not show any flustered or blushing and speechless behavior, very much like an old driver who had long been comfortable in the flowers.

A man often goes out, has no servants, and travels alone, is it possible that he is a chivalrous warrior? Or is it the kind that does good deeds without leaving a name?

Although he looks indifferent, judging from his words and deeds, he is indeed a good person.

Otherwise, if you see a person of unknown origin in your courtyard, even if you don't report to the official, you should kill him with a knife.

Not to mention in such a turbulent society.

Chiling stood up and walked into the man's room.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, just a desk, a bed, and a shelf for swords.

Qian Ling had rummaged through the house, and except for some ornaments that seemed to have some value, there was no such thing as gold, jewelry, or silver tickets.

Assuming this is a man's home, why is he the only one left? Has the whole family been destroyed?

Qianling thought of the two brothers, Ai Chu and Ai Chen.

But it's not right, General Ai's Mansion is in the middle of the downtown of Yongcheng, on a bustling street.

Qian Ling sat on the bed.

She slept in the opposite room on the left side for the past two days, and she had only come in to see it once. The bedding is clean and smellless. Either the man does the laundry and cooks himself, or someone comes over to change it regularly.

Although people cannot be disguised, Qianling firmly believes that it is the latter.

She couldn't imagine the man doing the laundry and cooking.

Suddenly, Qianling saw a mask next to the pillow, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and the mask was painted with a face with a dignified and serious temperament, which was very "godly" style.

On the inside of the mask, a hibiscus flower is drawn.

The size of the mask was significantly larger than the man's face, indicating that it was not the man's.

Tang Baiyi's memories told Qianling that this mask was worn by the spirits of the spirit world during the competition, and it was found all over the street, but the material was different.

People will get used to writing their names on the inside of a mask, but the inside of this mask is just a flower. Could it be that the owner of the mask is a woman?

Qian Ling walked back to the table and continued to analyze while eating.

She had a bold idea, that man probably wouldn't eat in the courtyard, and if he ate outside, then where would the money come from?

Or is there a town not far from here, and there is a man in that town who can provide food and drink for the man, and the man who regularly comes to help the man change his bedding is also in that town?

Could it be that these two are the same person?

Thinking of this, Qian Ling walked into the room again, ripped off all the bedding and bed tents on the bed, walked to the courtyard, picked up a bucket of water, and poured it directly on it.

In the evening, the man did not return. And it rained very face-saving in the sky, so the bedding and bed tent were half-dry, and now they were drenched.

In the morning, the man returned. Qian Ling heard the movement and immediately walked to the west wing.

As expected, the man stood in front of his bed, staring at his bed, frowning tightly, and there was a fire burning in his eyes.

"Childe is back? I took Childe's futon to wash, it was good weather yesterday, I thought I could do it, but who knew that it rained last night. If Childe doesn't dislike it, go to my room and sleep. The bedding in my room was sun-dried and didn't smell musty. ”

Qian Ling smiled and spoke slowly.

The man half-turned his head and glanced at Qianling out of the corner of his eye, with a kind of anger in his eyes that you are going to hurry up for me.

Qianling turned to the man's eyes as if he hadn't seen anything, and found that there was a faint circle of dark blue under the man's eyes, which was clearly that he hadn't slept all night.

Wanting to sleep, but without a bed, Qianling felt funny just thinking about it.

"Childe, go to my room." Qian Ling laughed again.

The man exhaled heavily, then didn't even take off his shoes, lay directly on the bed board, and closed his eyes: "No need, you go out." ”

Seeing this, Qianling didn't persuade him, anyway, he was young and his body could withstand the toss.

"That son-in-law sleeps well, I'll make lunch and wait for the son." Qian Ling turned and retreated, closing the door.

Counting the time, when he felt that the man was probably asleep, Qianling walked to the yard next door, looked at the bedding that was drying, and poked a few holes with scissors that he couldn't find easily, and poked the holes wider, to the extent that he really couldn't sew them up.

Then the edges are shattered, creating the illusion that they have been gnawed by rats.

But afterwards, Qianling found that his actions were completely superfluous. Because after the rain last night, the weather turned colder directly, and the sun would not probe out at all, and the quilt was wet all the time.

Qianling's purpose is to let the man know that this bedding can't be covered, so he quickly asks someone to come over to change it.

In this way, she will be able to meet the person who takes care of the man.

Qianling lit the fire, stretched out his hand and roasted it.

Tang Baiyi has been wearing this dress for several days, not to mention that it should be changed, it is also thin, and it is so cold that people shiver.

The clothes that the man wore when he came back today were gray, which was clearly different from yesterday's, and it was obvious that he had changed outside.

For him, this mansion is just a temporary settlement.

Qianling was shocked.

Yes, it is very likely that this place is not a man's home, and a man's home is somewhere else.

It is possible that this place was just a temporary place for the man to stay, or maybe it was a courtyard that his family bought here.

But if this is not his home, why would he live here? In this barren mountain and wilderness, could it be that he still expects to wait for one or two fox fairies?

Got into a conflict with your family? Or did you just run away from home?

In the spirit world, such a big person should have been married and had children.

But the man doesn't look like he's married.

Ran away in order to escape marriage?

Chiling sent the firewood into the stove.

The reason shouldn't be that simple.

The man's cold personality is very much like he has received some kind of major blow.

A lot needs to be observed.

When the food was served, Qianling knocked on the door and asked the man to come out to eat.

Calculating the time, it was obvious that the man had not woken up.

He sat up with his head propped up, and sat on the edge of the bed for three minutes without moving, and his whole person was shrouded in a layer of murderous aura.

Qianling is not afraid of death, but he doesn't leave. "Childe, the meal is ready."

The man finally raised his head, and the excessive whites of his eyes made him look ambitious and brutal.
