Chapter 7: A Knock at the Door

The child's childlike words made Jiang Jinghong stand up immediately. looked at Li'er sharply, and Li'er quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

Pouting, she jumped off the stool, bowed her head, and stood there, looking like she had made a mistake and was ready to wait for the adult's punishment. Shen Yunyou couldn't help but soften when she saw Pian'er's pitiful appearance. No matter what, the child is innocent.

Jiang Jinghong didn't say anything for a long time, which made Li'er turn her head sideways in confusion and look at her secretly. Unexpectedly, I saw Jiang Jinghong's wrist being held by Ye Zixuan.

"Sit down and eat." Ye Zixuan raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Jinghong, and spoke in a calm tone. But to others, this is not to be disobeyed.

Jiang Jinghong took a deep breath and sat down. It's just her eyes, but she never leaves Li'er's body, so that Li'er can only stand there and dare not move. It wasn't until Ye Zixuan hugged her onto the stool that Li'er obediently picked up the rice bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the white rice in the bowl without saying a word.

With such an episode, the atmosphere at the table was naturally not much better. Although Yun Qingshan and Xuan Mo kept talking, trying to adjust the atmosphere, it was obvious that the effect was not very good.

A meal that is quickly eaten in a dull state. Shen Yunyou wiped the corners of her mouth, and watched Li'er walk in front of her with a look of crying, she wanted to make this child happy, but because of her identity and position, she didn't open this mouth.

"Miss Shen." Jiang Jinghong walked slowly in front of Shen Yunyou, and said with a far-fetched smile: "Children talk nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Shen Yunyou shook his head gently, looking at Jiang Jinghong's beautiful facial features, his mood was very complicated.

Jiang Jinghong is a very beautiful woman. She was so beautiful that Shen Yunyou, who was a woman, couldn't help but want to praise her. is such a beautiful woman, but she has willingly stayed by Yezixuan's side for so many years and waited for so many years.

And that piti. Shen Yunyou thought that if Ye Zixuan hadn't come here often, the child wouldn't have been so clingy to him. Although the speaker has no intention of saying that Li'er's words, everyone who listens to them has a heart.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, can I still come here?" Shen Yunyou suddenly opened his mouth and took the initiative to ask.

Shen Yunyou's words made Jiang Jinghong and Ye Zixuan stunned, and they all looked at Shen Yunyou with strange eyes. Shen Yunyou glanced at the expressions of the two of them, and said with a light smile: "If I can, I will definitely come again." ”

Jiang Jinghong looked at Shen Yunyou intently, and after a long while, he smiled with relief. Nodding his head, he said, "You are always welcome to come." ”

After eating and drinking, several people were ready to continue on their way. Before leaving, Li'er appeared in the courtyard again. It's just that she didn't run in front of a few people, but hid far away, looking at Ye Zixuan with longing eyes, and didn't dare to say a word.

When Shen Yunyou saw this scene, he motioned to let Ye Zixuan pass. Ye Zixuan was helpless, as long as he walked slowly in front of Li'er and squatted down.

"Will you come to see Reel again?" Li'er pulled Ye Zixuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"As long as you obediently listen to the master, I will definitely come to see you again."

"Not lying?"

"No lie." Ye Zixuan smiled and touched Li'er's head, the smile on his face made Li'er, who had never seen him smile, dumbfounded.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Budian, several people got into the car and continued to hurry. Jiang Jinghong stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Ye Zixuan and the others leave. Putting his right hand on his chest, feeling the incomparably clear feeling of heartache, Jiang Jinghong slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a miserable smile.

Lost, just lost.

She has been waiting for him for several years, but after all, she is still worthless.

Shen Yunyou got into the car and kept resting his head on Ye Zixuan's shoulder and remained silent. Seeing her unhappy appearance, Ye Zixuan didn't ask anything, just waited for her to take the initiative to speak and talk to herself.

After walking for more than half an hour, Shen Yunyou finally opened his mouth. Slowly sitting up straight, Shen Yunyou asked in a low voice, "That poor child, has you never been out of the mountain?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Zixuan didn't expect her to ask about Li'er, "Jiang Jinghong hasn't taken her out since she brought her back. Li'er has always felt that there is some other reason why the master does not take her out. That's why I expect an outsider to take her and her master out of the deep mountains. ”

Ye Zixuan's words made Shen Yunyou silent again. Jiang Jinghong doesn't look like a nosy woman, why did she pick up Li'er back in the first place?

Thinking of this, Shen Yunyou couldn't help but glance at Ye Zixuan.

The pity raising Gu must have been taught by Jiang Jinghong. Shen Yunyou could see that Jiang Jinghong's feelings for Ye Zixuan were not ordinarily deep. If she wanted to, she could use a love Gu or something like that on Ye Zixuan to make Ye Zixuan fall in love with her. However, she didn't. Is Jiang Jinghong afraid of Ye Zixuan and the people around him, or does he not want to use this method on the man he loves?

Shen Yunyou couldn't figure out this problem, so he couldn't solve it. But she never thought that in the days to come, her speculation would become a reality.

Day and night, several people arrived in a small town in the early morning of the next day. Because they wanted to investigate the affairs of Yuan Ruoning and the others, Ye Zixuan and Shen Yunyou decided to stay here for a few days now before leaving.

I found an inn and opened four rooms. Because the three of Ye Zixuan changed their appearance overnight, there were no accidents along the way.

Shen Yunyou entered the inn and went back to the room directly. After lying in the carriage all night, he was not comfortable in bed after all.

Shen Yunyou rolled on the bed and saw Ye Zixuan standing in the center of the room with a smile in his eyes, staring at her. Shen Yunyou sat up awkwardly, smoothed out his somewhat messy hair, and asked, "Don't you have something to do?" ”

"Not coming with me?"

"No, I want to take a break." Shen Yunyou shook his head, smiled lightly and waved to Ye Zixuan. "Go early and come back early."

Ye Zixuan walked out of Shen Yunyou's room, and Shen Yunyou's body also relaxed. Falling on the bed, Shen Yunyou touched the human skin mask on his face, sighed, and closed his eyes. In my mind, I couldn't help but think of the appearance of a poor child.

With both hands slowly brushing his lower abdomen, Shen Yunyou bit the corner of his lip, his mind was in chaos. But soon, Shen Yunyou calmed himself down and cleared his mind.

Shen Yunyou took a nap for an hour, and after waking up, Yezixuan had not yet returned. Shen Yunyou, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to stay with Xuan Mo when he couldn't find Yun Qingshan, and the two of them were bored lying at the window, watching the people coming and going.

After so many days of getting along, Xuan Mo has become accustomed to the same strength as Shen Yunyou and Ye Zixuan. So Shen Yunyou was suddenly so quiet, and Xuan Mo was a little uncomfortable.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Xuan Mo struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Where do you see that?" Shen Yun looked downstairs without squinting and asked.

"Face." Xuan Mo answered Shen Yunyou's question succinctly, and then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Did the shadow bully you?" ”

The voice of the whirling desert thief finally made Shen Yunyou glance at him. "Brother Xuan, don't you hate him?"

"Hate whom? Shadow? Xuan Mo didn't expect Shen Yunyou to ask such a question, and after a pause, he shook his head and asked, "Why do you hate him?" ”

"If it weren't for him, wouldn't you be living a stable and peaceful life in front of your great benevolent person now?"

"People like me are supposed to live a life with today and no tomorrow, and it's the same everywhere." Xuan Mo walked to the table, sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, looked like the vicissitudes of life, and talked with Shen Yunyou. "Whatever the reason, I came here with the Shadows. In short, I didn't suffer a loss, and I also want to see with my own eyes what kind of life people like him live. ”

Running around with Yezixuan, he didn't suffer a loss?

Shen Yunyou thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled treacherously and asked, "Brother Xuan, you should have stolen a lot of good things before, right?" Where are they hidden? ”

"Why are you asking this...... Xuan Mo looked at Shen Yunyou cautiously, and always felt that Shen Yunyou's smile was a little chill in the back.

"Just casually asked, why are you so nervous?" Shen Yunyou gave Xuan Mo a white eye, "Look at your little bit of interest!" ”

After speaking, Shen Yunyou continued to lean on the window and look at the scenery outside the window.

The town where they are now is located in the middle of the kingdom of prayer. However, although this place is still some distance from the border, the war between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Ryuming will inevitably affect this place.

The war between the two countries will inevitably hurt the people and money. In addition to being taken from the treasury, the food and clothing needed at the border gates must also be snatched from the hands of the common people, which is a well-known thing.

Shen Yunyou squinted his eyes slightly, watching a team of soldiers and horses not far away slowly coming, Shen Yunyou suddenly remembered something.

His fingers kept jumping on the windowsill, and Shen Yunyou originally wanted to ask him about things after Ye Zixuan came back. But Ye Zixuan's departure is a whole day. Shen Yunyou didn't see Ye Zixuan's figure until he was ready to go to bed at night. Yun Qingshan and Xuan Mo didn't know where he went, so Shen Yunyou had no choice but to go to bed.

Late at night, there was a knock on Shen Yunyou's door. Shen Yunyou opened his eyes in a daze, looked in the direction of the door, and became a lot more sober.

At this time, who will it be? Yezixuan? He usually doesn't say hello when he enters the room......

Shen Yunyou vigilantly picked up the dagger next to the pillow and sat on the bed without moving. After a while, the knock on the door disappeared, and the people outside the door seemed to have left.

Shen Yunyou sat on the bed with a frown, guessing who the knocker was.
