Chapter 33: Apricots, Ginkgo's Apricots
It was unusually quiet, and no one answered. A gentle breeze blows and the dense leaves rustle. Ye Qingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked coldly at the southeast position. It was hidden by weeds and could not be seen clearly under the cover of night.
The line in his hand suddenly condensed, and Ye Qingyi said in a deep voice: "Since you don't want to come out, don't blame me for doing it!" ”
With that, her wrist flipped, and the front eight forms of Qingfeng's palm were stuck in the air, and when she saw that she was about to strike, a figure hurriedly rolled out of the grass. Ye Qingyi casually dispersed the eight forms in front of Qingfeng's palm and looked at him carefully.
He is a big man with a sturdy body and a full beard. On the back of the big man, he carried a thin little girl on his back. The little girl was pale and her eyes were tightly closed. The lips of the big man and the little girl are purple, and the abnormal purple color is obviously not caused by the cold, and it is very likely that they have been poisoned.
The moment the big man rolled out of the grass, everyone was on guard. Even the Third Elder put away his smiling expression, his face like frost.
Someone followed them here, and the mere thought of it sent chills down the spine.
As if feeling the cold gaze of everyone, the big man put down the girl and raised his hand kindly, "Don't get me wrong! We have no ill will. My name is Chen Dian, and I came all the way from Yanding City. This is my sister, Chen Xing'er. ”
"My sister was seriously injured, and a Danshi in the city told me that if I wanted to save my sister's life, I had to go to Baicao Valley to find rare medicinal materials. Otherwise, my sister will only have one month left to live. My sister and I got lost in the fog forest, and we happened to see a fire here, so I ......"
"I hope you can take my sister and me for one night, and as soon as the morning dawns, my sister and I will continue to hurry!" The more Chen Dian spoke, the more excited he became, and he knelt on the ground with a "bang". His rough hands were covered with mud, and the hands on the ground were constantly shaking, and he turned his head to look at Chen Xing'er, his eyes gradually reddening.
Ye Qingyi fiddled with the fire, without making an arbitrary decision, she turned to everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Chen Dian looked at them, and his eyes shone with supplication and hope.
Ling Yuan didn't look at Chen Dian, and said lightly: "You are the captain now, you decide." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Ye Qingyi's performance in leading them along the way was enough to convince them.
Ye Qingyi put down the wooden stick, stood up and walked in front of Chen Dian to help him up, his eyes swept over the unconscious girl on the ground intentionally or unintentionally, "Brother Chen Dian, get up quickly." You just said that your sister's name is Chen Xing'er? Ginkgo apricots? ”
Chen Dian was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Yes." When my sister was born, the ginkgo biloba outside the hospital was blown off by a strong wind and fell to the ground. My father and mother didn't have much culture, so I gave my sister this name. What's wrong? ”
He rubbed his hands together, his unease palpable. For fear that Ye Qingyi would drive him away.
Ye Qingyi lowered her head and smiled, she suddenly remembered her servant Xing'er who had followed her in her previous life. She was fifteen years old when Apricot came to serve her. Apricot is fourteen years old.
Xing'er was timid when she was brought into the house, she looked interesting, and took the initiative to step forward and ask, "My name is Ye Qingyi, what about you?" "Apricots, ginkgo apricots."
After all, he couldn't let Chen Dian leave with Xing'er like this, Ye Qingyi supported Chen Dian a little and comforted: "Brother Chen Dian, don't be nervous." Come and sit. Just had something to eat with us. ”
Chen Dian cast a grateful glance at Ye Qingyi, Ye Qingyi returned to the fire and sat down, took a skewer of fresh snake meat that had not been roasted and handed it to him. "This is jade nine-ring snake meat, don't worry, we've all eaten it. Roasted on the fire and eaten. ”
Only then did Chen Dian, who had settled Chen Xing'er, take the snake meat and roast it on the fire. He turned the stick, and after a while, he realized that he was frightened: "Sister... Sister... What did you just say? What kind of meat is this? Jade nine-ring snake meat?! ”
