Chapter 3: Men Are Really Unreliable
Chu Junyi was half-leaning in the cave, his eyes lined with firelight, and he looked at Shen Ninghua, who was collecting firewood to make a fire: "I don't know what your name is?" She hadn't said a word since she had helped herself into the cave, and she had ignored him completely.
Shen Ninghua approached the fire, rubbing her sprained ankle with her fingers, her brows furrowed, this cave was extremely hidden, and she tried her best to remove the traces of the two along the way, so she should not be discovered.
"We are also in trouble, but I told you my identity, but you didn't say it, are you afraid that I will trouble you afterwards?" Chu Junyi didn't care about Shen Ninghua's coldness at all, and continued.
"I saved you for five thousand taels of gold, and we won't have anything to do with each other after you give me the money, what if you know my name?"
"Heh, you don't want to tell me. Don't say it and don't worry, you can recognize the token of the Xiao family, I think you are also from Kyoto, and it is very simple for me to go out to inquire about someone, not to mention that your characteristics are so obvious. ”
Shen Ninghua looked at his hands, and his complexion was indeed a major feature that was much darker than ordinary people, but everyone knew that the Shen family had a young lady Shen Linghan who was as beautiful as a fairy and had a bodhisattva's heart, who would know that she was a family shame?
"Huh? Judging by your expression, you expected that I couldn't find you? Chu Junyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Although your clothes are a little old, this material is not something that ordinary people can afford, you are at least a young lady from an official family in Kyoto, I have been in Kyoto for so many years, and I have never heard of a young lady with such a face...... In particular, then you are extremely unfavored and neglected, so it is not difficult to find. Chu Junyi hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and his face was full of smiles.
"Hmph, then you can investigate slowly." After Shen Ninghua finished speaking, he ignored him, took out the clothes in the baggage, carefully spread them on the hay he found, and lay down directly.
After a long time, hearing that the other party's breathing was steady, Chu Junyi opened his eyes and swept Shen Ninghua's back lightly, if this girl's temperament was usually in line with his appetite, but now, the person who was treated indifferently has become himself, and he feels not so comfortable.
He looked down at the wounds on his body, his brows furrowed, he came out today to take his sister Xiao Huanxi, who had finished the incense, home, but he didn't want to be assassinated on the way, there were too many people and they were all dead soldiers who did not stop until they reached their goal, the ordinary guards he brought were not opponents at all, the most important thing was that there were traitors hidden in the guards, if it weren't for the man's plot, he would not have fallen into such a field, and after he went out...... Hum......
was thinking about it, but saw Shen Ninghua sit up with a sigh, panting heavily, her eyes were full of anger, and it was as deep as an ancient well, which made her whole person vaguely covered with a layer of gray.
Chu Junyi's heart trembled: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Hearing the voice, Shen Ninghua turned his head, but the strange look on his face had already been put away: "It's okay." ”
If he hadn't believed in his eyes, Chu Junyi would have thought that the emotion he had just felt was his delusion, even if he was not favored, he was just a teenage girl, but the anger around his body seemed to crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood, who was she?
Shen Ninghua lay down again but there was no sleepiness at all, she dreamed that she was still lying on the cold bed in the cold palace, covered with dust, living like a pig and dog every day...... Shen Linghan, Baili Jinze, the pain you have inflicted on me, I must let you taste them one by one!
At dawn the next day, Shen Ninghua looked at Chu Junyi and was very satisfied that he had a lot fewer words. In fact, Chu Junyi was almost out of strength to speak, and his injuries were so serious that he had a fever and was uncomfortable all night.
Shen Ninghua pulled him out and continued to walk towards the north of the valley. Her ankle was sprained, and it was even more difficult to pull a man to move, and it didn't take long for a layer of sweat to break out and her breath began to grow uneven.
Chu Junyi lay down, listening to her voice, and felt a little strange in his heart. It has been almost an hour since just now, and he who has practiced martial arts can naturally distinguish her state from a person's breathing, at this time she is panting very quickly, every time it seems to be squeezed out of the chest, she should have exhausted her strength, and now she is still walking, I am afraid that it is supported by her mind, he has seen many women with firm minds, but there are few like her.
"You...... You can take a break. ”
Shen Ninghua stopped at a stream, squatted down and drank two sips of water, his ankles were already swollen like steamed buns, "If we go out of the valley, can someone answer you?" ”
"I'll have a way to contact my people when I get out of the valley, but black girl, aren't you afraid that I'll order someone to kill you and then take the token?" Chu Jun said as if it were true or false.
"You can give it a try." Shen Ninghua's face was cold, "You think I didn't think you would do this?" I have long hidden the jade pendant, you give me gold and I will tell you the place, it is best to be safe. If you want to break your promise, be prepared to never find that jade pendant. ”
"That jade pendant is also a token, and it's not a big problem if you can't find it."
Shen Ninghua raised her eyes to look at him, with a sneer on her lips: "It's really just a token?" ”
Chu Junyi paused for a long time and laughed in a low voice: "Hehe, you girl is really not a simple girl, don't worry, with your character, I won't take your life." ”
Shen Ninghua got up and walked to Chu Junyi, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his chest, his fingers were pressing on his wound, and the blood flowed down instantly: "As soon as others threaten me, I am easy to get nervous, and when I am nervous, I don't know what I will do." ”
Chu Junyi snorted: "My life is worth five thousand taels of gold." ”
"Humph!"
Shen Ninghua snorted coldly and stood up, but felt a sudden pain in his leg:
"Snake!"
She took two steps back, and sat down on the ground with a pale face, and her mind was churning with memories of being locked up in the cold palace, when the eunuchs loved to torture people, and she couldn't move, so they put her in a cloth bag, and then caught a snake and threw it inside, a feeling that still terrified her in retrospect.
Chu Junyi frowned, and hurriedly struggled to get up: "It's an inch snake, don't move, I have seen snake flowers and plants can detoxify snake venom on the road I just walked, it's not far from here, I can come back in half an hour!" "Snake venom is very special, if you are inactive after poisoning, you will be fine if you take the antidote within half an hour, if you are active, it will not take a moment, the snake venom will quickly swim away from the whole body, suffocating to death.
Shen Ninghua watched him get up, clutching his chest and staggering towards the road. It's just that I didn't think about it, I waited for about half an hour, but I didn't wait for anyone.
"Men are really unreliable."
Shen Ninghua sneered coldly, at this time, her legs and arms began to go numb, and she couldn't stand up at all, so she could only open her eyes hard and crawl forward.
She still has a big revenge to avenge, she can't die like this, she has to live, even if she survives, she has to live, as long as she has a breath, she won't give up!
In the fog, she seemed to hear someone asking, and her voice was unusually hoarse, like the friction of the dry bark of a tree:
"You want revenge?"
"Yes...... Shen Linghan...... Baili Jinze, I ...... that they should not die well. ”
"There is the Zhao family behind Shen Linghan, and the royal family behind Baili Jinze, do you think you can succeed?"
"With the blessing of the Zhao family...... Then bring down the Zhao family! If there is royal support, then ...... Disturb the court! I want them to pay with blood! ”
The paralysis in his body gradually disappeared, Shen Ninghua opened his eyes again, and a face full of scars suddenly came into view: "Ah! ”
