Chapter 16 Just don't give
The old man had been sitting, and when he suddenly stood up at this moment, Xue'er suddenly realized that although the other party was not particularly tall, the momentum that suddenly erupted made people dare not look directly.
"Where is that man now?"
The old man no longer had the stability and calmness he had just now, and the whole person seemed to be eager!
Cher was startled at first, but then calmed down. Lingxin is the only one close to herself among the many saints on the island of the Holy Maiden. Although the old man's words were all guilty and longing for the woman with plum blossom moles on the soles of her feet, she had to ask more questions for the sake of Lingxin.
She pretended to take a step back inadvertently, avoiding the old man's hands grabbing her shoulders: "Please forgive Xue'er for being abrupt, I don't know what kind of relationship the old man has with the girl with plum blossom moles on the soles of her feet?"
"What's the relationship?"
The old man didn't expect that the girl in front of him would not be affected by his momentum, and he would be able to ask questions. However, this question seemed to make him wonder how to answer it for a while. He muttered and repeated, and for a moment he was stunned and lost in his memory.
The current situation is that Xue'er guesses the relationship between the old man and Lingxin, and hesitates to tell Lingxin's situation. In case it's an enemy or something, the trouble she doesn't want to cause for Lingxin is definitely not what she wants.
However, when all the saints of Sangong, including Xue'er, were on the island of the Holy Maiden, there was not a single one who did not miss her hometown and relatives!
Therefore, if she can find her family for Lingxin, Xue'er is absolutely willing to do it.
And the old man, the mind is also somewhat similar to Xue'er, the other party knows that the plum blossom mole is on the left foot, and can also say the double plum blossom, four petals, which means that she must have seen the plum blossom mole on the sole of Lingxin's feet. But did she see it by chance, and she used it to ask for benefits from herself at this moment, or did she really know Lingxin?
If it is really an acquaintance with Lingxin, then everyone will naturally be happy, and even find Lingxin through her, at least you can know Lingxin's whereabouts.
But what if not?
What if Lingxin fell into her hands and she saw the plum blossom mole on the soles of her feet, once she knew her relationship with Lingxin, she used Lingxin to threaten herself?
For the sake of Lingxin, of course he is willing to make some concessions and promise the other party some conditions, but what if he can't agree? Do you want to be separated from yin and yang forever before you see Lingxin's side?
Therefore, the old man was also a little hesitant about Xue'er's question.
He put away his eagerness, as if nothing had happened just now, coughed clearly, and said to Yang Jin, who was kneeling on the ground: "Manager Yang, you get up first." ”
This sentence made Xue'er instantly understand the old man's attitude, of course she knew that her question was too presumptuous and abrupt, but she really didn't dare to tell the old man Lingxin's situation if she didn't ask it.
With a wry smile in her heart, Xue'er took two steps back, although she did not kneel, she distanced herself from the old man, bowed slightly, bowed her head silently, and waited for the old man's answer.
Even Qiu Ping stood up silently at the old man's signal. As for Qiuru, who had just brought the set of silver needles left by Xue'er, she stood at the door in a daze, not daring to even enter for a while.
Yang Jin saw her and shook his head imperceptibly, Qiu Ru understood, so he took two steps back and disappeared from the sight of the three people (Qiu Ping was kneeling with her back to the door, so she couldn't see it), and waited at the outer door for the old man or Yang Jin's next instructions.
Seeing Xue'er retreat, the old man instantly understood the transparency and sensitivity of this girl, and knew that his words to let Yang Jin up had already made this girl feel alienated and defensive.
His face did not change, his eyes fell on Xue'er again, and the tears of the demon concubine in his hand were slightly cool, making his mind clear.
The old man clenched the tears of the demon concubine, but then spread out his palms and stared at Xue'er tightly: "Is this crystal yours?" ”
Xue'er's heart shrank suddenly, her eyes suddenly fell on the teardrop crystal, and Xuanyuan's cold face involuntarily appeared in front of her!
I don't know why, when she learned that this crystal was called the Tears of the Demon Concubine from the old man and that Yang Mouth, her whole person was in a trance, her ears were buzzing, and even her heart suddenly hurt, but she couldn't say any reason!
Thinking of Xuanyuan, Xue'er's heart hurt for no reason: in his heart, he was afraid that he was already a dead man who was buried in the belly of a fish, and he didn't even have bones, right?
Does he know the magic of his teardrop crystal? I never thought that I would save my life because of this, right? Not only that, but even the ship that saved itself seems to be inextricably linked to this teardrop crystal.
Xue'er suddenly felt that the teardrop crystal actually intended to bring herself to the big ship, and then let the people on the ship save her.
Even, if that He Laosan happened to appear on the deck from time to time and saw himself, or even if he saw it, he would not be saved, then the teardrop crystal would protect himself again and bring himself to the front of this ship!
Start by falling off a cliff like the sea and entering that seven-colored lotus-like island. In the dark, the big hand of providence seems to have begun to manipulate everything.
And on this big ship, everything seems to have originated from this teardrop crystal!
Her silence made the old man's brows gradually furrow, Yang Jin stepped forward, and Xue'er suddenly felt a shadow cast in front of her.
"Is this crystal yours?" The old man asked again.
This time Xue'er came back to her senses and shook her head directly: "No." ”
The old man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then why is it on you?" Lingxin gave it to you? That is, the woman who has a plum blossom mole in your mouth? ”
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, I don't know why the old man actually thought of Lingxin, could it be that this teardrop crystal should have belonged to Lingxin?
But why have I never heard Lingxin mention it? On the contrary, it was Mr. Ying beside Xuanyuan Yu, who seemed to have inadvertently mentioned that it was something that Xuanyuan Yu had worn since he was a child, and it seemed that Xuanyuan Yu brought it out of his mother's womb.
For a while, Xue'er's thoughts were chaotic, and she couldn't figure it out, so she subconsciously shook her head again: "No, Lingxin has never had such a thing." ”
"And where did you get this thing from?" Even the old man's eyes couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, obviously a little confused for a while.
"Because Cher was suffering from seasickness again, the man lent this item to Cher just to temporarily relieve the onset of symptoms." Cher's gaze never left the Tears of the Demon Concubine at that moment. After a long time, it seemed that he was also soaked in that sadness, and there were tears in his eyes, which could not be suppressed.
She had to look away, but saw Yang Jin nodding slightly at the old man, obviously confirming that her seasickness was true. Xue'er didn't care either, after all, it was normal for people to be suspicious and defensive, wasn't she also suspicious of the other party?
It's just that the old man is a guest to her, and she can only be interrogated by others, and she has no ability to interrogate others.
"Who?" The old man continued to ask, "What does the person who handed you the tears of the demon concubine look like, how old is he, and what are his distinguishing characteristics?" ”
The old man's series of questions, coupled with the obvious emotion of getting excited again, made Xue'er take a step back again, and then remained silent.
"What about you, why don't you answer quickly!"
Xue'er's silence was exchanged for Yang Jin's low drink, and there was a very obvious threat.
It's a pity that when she was on the Holy Maiden Island, every time she did something out of the ordinary, Yan Rumei's momentum didn't know how many times stronger than the Yang Jin in front of her. So for Yang Jin's low drink, Xue'er didn't say that her face changed, and she didn't even blink her eyes!
Xue'er's indifference made Yang Jin's face very unsightly, so he was about to speak, but was stopped by the old man's look, and then the old man spoke: "You don't want to tell me, do you?" ”
Without waiting for Xue'er to answer, he continued: "There is also something about Lingxin, and you don't want to tell me, right?" ”
Xue'er moved her numb feet, then raised her head and looked at the old man seriously: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have been friends with Lingxin for many years, and if I don't figure out the relationship between you, how dare I tell you her whereabouts directly?" After all, her identity is extraordinary, in case you use her identity to do something bad, how can I explain it to Lingxin? ”
Without waiting for the old man to react, and without looking at the old man's face, she continued: "As for the person who lent me this crystal, it was just a meeting in Pingshui, and I don't know his identity and background, but I know that his temper doesn't seem to be very good, and he always has a straight face——"
Xue'er pointed at Yang Jin: "It's colder than him!" ”
This made Yang Jin cry and laugh, but when he thought of the owner of the Demon Concubine's Tears, his heart couldn't help but be terrified, how could he be compared to him, I was afraid that he was going to break himself!
He quietly raised his head and found that the old man was still in deep thought, not paying attention to his small movements at all, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
The old man looked into Xue'er's eyes, as if to discern the credibility of her words: "Then how old is the person you are talking about, is it a man or a woman?" ”
Xue'er thought for a moment and said, "It's a young man, about twenty years old. When I met him, his eyes seemed to be traumatized in some way, and he couldn't see for a while, but I used a silver needle to heal him. ”
Then he thought of something, so he looked up and looked around: "Can you give me back my silver needle now?" ”
Where could the old man care about her question about the silver needle, and continued to ask: "Twenty-two? ”
Xue'er frowned: "Probably, I haven't asked, where would I know so specifically?" - Can you give me back my silver needle? And this crystal, I'm going to give it back to others. ”
The old man didn't ask about the other party's appearance again, just sighed deeply, but still didn't return the crystal to Xue'er's vagueness. Instead, his eyes gradually brightened, and he said after a long time: "If you see this person again, will you still recognize it?" ”
Cher nodded hurriedly; "Of course you can, but you have to give me back this crystal first. Otherwise, even if I saw him, it wouldn't be easy to explain, would I? ”
The old man turned a deaf ear and just let out a long breath, but the gaze that looked at Xue'er changed: "After you identify the person to me, let the person decide whether to give it to you or not." Now, can you tell me about Lingxin? ”
