Chapter Ninety-Five: Becoming a Snake in Seconds
Looking at Mingyue, who was already so angry that he was incoherent, Wei Zhixing suddenly had an urge to laugh, but he just stretched out his palm and said: "Yin Mingyue, this is not turned out of you, it is taken out of me, according to what you said, what is taken out of me is naturally mine!" ”
Mingyue Fox reasoned out her thoughts suspiciously, it seemed to be like this! So where did the dagger that he wanted to kill Xu Er come from?
Mingyue lowered her head, and really turned out a dagger from a pile of miscellaneous things, with a dagger sheath, but the dagger handle and dagger body were so simple that they could almost be described as "no grass", not to mention gems, and there was not even a modified pattern.
Mingyue's little face fell, and she cried and said with a mournful face: "Father-in-law, does it really not affect your official authority and official style if you rush like this?" You can't be so stingy! ”
Wei Zhixing still stretched out his hand and asked for "his" multicolored gemstone dagger.
Mingyue reluctantly handed the simple dagger to Wei Zhixing, Wei Zhixing's face turned black when he landed, Mingyue smiled, and pushed the remaining silver on the table in front of Wei Zhixing with annoyance, Wei Zhixing was still unmoved.
Mingyue was also angry, and said angrily: "Do I have anything else on me to do to you?" You burned all my things, and you have to pay for it!! ”
Wei Zhixing's eyes narrowed, and Mingyue, who was still so arrogant after "attracting bees and butterflies", calmed down, and said in a calm tone: "Of course I will pay, who said not to pay." ”
Untied the dark blue purse from under him, picked out a dark basket-colored handkerchief from Mingyue's pile of things, took out a stack of milky white rice paper from the small box on the table, pushed it in front of Mingyue and said: "These are the purses, handkerchiefs and papers that compensate you, they are all worth more silver than your original, and the fan was burned by yourself, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Mingyue was speechless, among these things, only daggers and fans are the most valuable, Wei Zhixing is really wishful thinking, he shouldn't be an official, he should be in business!
Mingyue hugged the gem dagger tighter, for fear that she would be deceived by Wei Zhixing again.
Seeing that the girl refused to let go of the gem dagger even if she was killed, Wei Zhixing frowned and said, "Yin Mingyue, how much silver are you and Cui'er's lives worth?" ”
Mingyue frowned and said, "Human life is naturally priceless, don't you want to estimate me and Xiaocui." ”
Wei Zhixing nodded clearly, continued to stretch out his palm, and said with a fox-like smile: "You're right, I just saved two 'priceless treasures', and I want a 'priceless' dagger as a thank you gift, isn't it an exaggeration?" Besides, the 'jackals' are so numerous that I don't know when I retaliate, I must have a dagger for self-defense, is it too much? ”
Mingyue's little face wrinkled into a twist, which seemed to be not excessive.
After a lot of mental struggles, I saw Mingyue take out the dagger in her arms fiercely, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and the clever little teeth bit down on the gem on the handle of the dagger, "Kakaka" three times, like a hamster, the red jade was bitten off, and then the lower bite was green jade, topaz, purple jade, blue jade......
Wei Zhixing looked at Mingyue, who had become a "greedy snake" in seconds, in a daze, and forgot to move, and his hands were still stiff in the air.
Mingyue gnawed down the five jade stones "unsatisfied", the agitated cheeks were like a greedy frog, the thief looked at Wei Zhixing, who was stunned, and carefully spit out all the five gems in the palm of her left hand, and licked the corners of her mouth with her little tongue, as if what she was in her mouth just now was not a cold and hard colored stone, but a fat and greasy chicken leg.
Mingyue put the dagger that had bitten into a bald handle in the palm of Wei Zhixing's hand, and said with a sly smile: "Life-saving benefactor, you can defend yourself." ”
With a smile on his eyebrows, he carefully placed the gem in the dark blue purse that Wei Zhixing "compensated" her, and muttered to himself: "This thing is so valuable, I have to keep it for Sister Cui'er as a dowry." ”
Wei Zhixing couldn't hide the smile when he heard it, it turned out that she didn't prefer the dagger itself or care about the owner of the dagger, she was really just a cat with a good fortune, the man's smile was like the wind in spring, blowing a pool of lake water and blooming a pear blossom.
The man's laughter only lasted for a few minutes, and then he remembered the red Xipa, the wife book, the ink-colored purse, the chrysanthemum fan, the gemstone dagger, these things from different classes and different preferences of men, looking at Mingyue's smiling face like a flower, I couldn't help but feel angry, why didn't this Yin Mingyue cherish her reputation, just like birds cherish their feathers and flowers cherish their stamens, even if you are greedy for money, you can't be selectively greedy, pick more reliable people, pick more valuable greed, such as your own fish skin dagger? It's a pity that the wind and rain are like obscurity, the pearl and jade are covered with dust, and the blade that sharpens iron like clay is disliked by Yin Mingyue, an eyeless soil bun, as a dirt in the ground.
The man couldn't help but sulk, but Mingyue was more depressed than the man in her heart, was it herself who was burned, thinking about her fan of a thousand taels of gold, her heart was twitching, how could she explain to Luo Ping, a local tyrant, when she turned around? Mingyue, who was depressed, also turned her head and looked at the sky outside through the small pane.
The sky was close to dusk, and it was cloudy, cloudy, and watery, and the mood was so depressed that it was not good.
The small stove burst into sparks, emitting a faint light, so quiet, yet so warm.
Wei Lai knocked on the door twice, pushed the door in, and hung two glass lamps on both corners of the carriage, the carriage lit up a lot, Wei Zhixing and Yin Mingyue both threw their eyes on Wei Lai.
With just one glance, Wei Zhixing's eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and he quickly moved his body, blocking Mingyue's eyes from a strong and impermeable wind, Mingyue only had time to see Wei Lai's bronze shadow for a moment, and successfully missed Wei Lai's eight strong abdominal muscles, and only Wei Zhixing's white back like a screen was imprinted, Mingyue muttered quietly, when she was white and impermanent, she was elusive.
Where did Wei Lai know Wei Zhixing's thoughts, hung up the lamp, and looked down at Cui'er who was curled up in a corner like a puppy worriedly, and couldn't bear it, and carefully covered the clothes that were already on Cui'er's body, and regretted for the first time that he didn't wear a big coat like his master, and it would definitely be warmer when he covered his body.
His twisted appearance finally angered Wei Zhixing, and he said angrily: "Put on your clothes, what do you look like naked!! ”
Wei Lai's eyes were full of grievances, it was he who made him take off his clothes and give it to Cui'er, and now he is the one who reprimands him for not wearing clothes, what is he going to do? It's the master who doesn't bully people like this!
Stretched out his hand to take off Cui'er's clothes, his palms were already shaking like words, if he took it off, wouldn't it be the same as the "jackal" who was rude Cui'er, would Xiaocui be so hateful that he wanted to kill himself? If he doesn't take it off, fire will erupt from his master's eyes.
Wei Lai after the battle of heaven and man, the idea of loyalty to the master finally defeated the courtesy, righteousness and shame, closed his eyes and reached out to take off Xiao Cui's clothes, but the palm of his hand happened to fall in the place that should not fall, the weight was not light, directly Xiao Cui woke up, opened his eyes and saw a pair of big palms like a bear left his chest like an electric shock, and the man opposite, still half-naked, in the dim light shadow, like the first night of her strong old man Ge.
A scream resounded throughout the carriage, and it was extremely terrifying in the dim night, so frightened that Wei Yan on the wheel thought that there was an assassin, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, the front hooves of the horse screamed, disturbing the carriage shaking violently, Mingyue wanted to see what happened to Xiaocui, but suddenly the carriage shook, and the whole face was close to Wei Zhixing's back, and his nose hurt, and tears suddenly fell.
The clothes on Xiao Cui's body were originally wrapped by Wei Lai, this moment, the clothes spread out again, revealing the middle coat inside, Wei Lai saw that Wei Zhixing's fire-breathing gaze had turned to a murderous gaze, took a deep breath, stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Cui, sat down next to Mingyue again, and then pulled his clothes and escaped from the carriage.
Look at Xiaocui again, dressed in a white middle coat, like a shelled egg, exposed to Wei Zhixing again, the little girl hugged her shoulders with her hands, shrunk and cowardly, tears were dripping, like a neighbor's puppy who had been starved for countless days, so pitiful.
Wei Zhixing stretched out his hand to lift the white fox fur spread on the ground, and covered Xiao Cui's head and body with a hood covering his face.
Mingyue wiped the tears that came out of her nose, flashed Wei Zhixing's back to look at Xiao Cui, and saw that Xiao Cui was thrown a large piece of fox fur indiscriminately, and the hair got into her nose and mouth, and she said angrily: "Wei Zhixing, did you touch porcelain when Xiao Cui?" Staying away? Wei Lai clearly saved Xiaocui, what are you doing now, is he trying to take advantage of Xiaocui? No, no, you took off Xiaocui's clothes in the carriage, aren't you playing with some dirty thoughts? Xiaocui won't make a promise to repay the favor, you die of this heart. ”
Wei Zhixing was angry and rushed upward, what is this? How much does I have to lack a woman to come up with such an unobtrusive method? was so angry that he didn't even defend himself, leaving Mingyue and Xiaocui with a cold back, and the cold momentum was even more freezing than the cold days outside.
Xiao Cui looked at Mingyue timidly, carefully pulled Mingyue's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Mingyue, don't blame Lord Wei, I can't always wear the clothes of Wei Guards, let him freeze out in the Ice and Snow City again." Besides, Cui'er was originally a woman in the Qinglou, and she was like an ant and her life was like a mustard, so how could she complain about the nobles and benefactors. ”
Cui'er said it lightly, but the sadness in her eyes was undeceiving, it was a kind of numb submission, a helpless compromise, and a kind of cynical sadness.
Mingyue grabbed Xiao Cui's hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Cui'er, listen, there is no distinction between high and low, different people, just different souls. Like Chai Qi, no matter how much money he has, he can't hide his ugly thoughts, and after death, he will inevitably be flogged and poked by the corpses of the people he killed; Like Grandma Xu, even if she eats the last meal and doesn't have the next meal, she will be remembered by our relatives after she dies, she is countless times greater than those high-ranking officials and nobles who smell wine and meat in Zhumen and don't know about folk diseases, her death is heavier than Mount Tai, with her death, in exchange for your life, if you don't live a wonderful life, how can you be worthy of her spirit in the sky?! ”
Xiao Cui was stunned and recalled what Mingyue said, most of which she didn't understand, but she knew her grandmother's good intentions to fulfill her and let her survive, and she couldn't help but cry quietly.
Wei Zhixing stared at Yin Mingyue like Xiaocui who had never seen the world, waking up from a dream, and finally knew why every time he saw Yin Mingyue, he always felt that she was different from ordinary peasant girls, and even different from all poor people, whether it was to give herself a gift or to kneel down to Chengxian County, he always felt that something was missing, to put it bluntly, it was the humility that the common people were afraid of wealth, officials, and power, it turned out that in her deep-rooted thoughts, everyone should be equal, and it didn't matter if adults or children were there. Men, women, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and even poor peasants.
The man who had read the books of the sages for more than ten years was silent like this.
