Chapter 110: Human Skin Mask
Woke up from the nightmare, Shu Xiaoen trembled uncontrollably, a pair of black eyes that looked big because of the emaciation of his face, his pupils flickered, and crystal tears appeared.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the house, Shu Xiaoen looked sideways, and Yao'er brought a basin of hot water and walked in.
Two lines of tears rolled down, Shu Xiaoen turned his head sideways, quietly raised his hand to wipe his tears, and the long black hair hanging down on the side of his face slid down like silk, wafting a faint fragrance of flowers.
Yao'er walked over quickly, "Miss, are you having nightmares again?" handed over the warm wet towel, "Wipe it off." My mother once said that dreams are all the opposite. ”
A warm towel covers the cheeks, and the tight pores feel soothed. Shu Xiaoen breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed his cheeks with a hot towel in both hands, and after a long while, he reluctantly left the cool towel.
Yao'er took the towel.
"Miss, are you going to that place today?" the voice hesitated. The pupils flickered, hiding the appearance that it was difficult to speak. As if to escape, Yao'er quickly turned around and hung the towel on the shelf.
Shu Xiaoen thought about the past few days in the tulou, the solemn chill, the depressed scene, the dilapidated tulou where people went to the empty building, and the defensive barrier formed around him at some point had already collapsed into a weak light...... In such a place, when you close your eyes, you can seem to recall the deserted corner that you have ignored, how can you hide Bingyi and the two dragons?
Even she was a little tired of looking for it.
What's more, there are a few Yao'er who have followed her all the way.
"I heard that the mermaid market in Shanhai City is very lively. Shu Xiaoen took the initiative to mention, "Do you want to go shopping?" The corners of her lips were smiling, and her voice softened a little, but because she had just woken up, she looked a little hoarse.
"Huh?" Yao'er was stunned for a moment, and looked back, her eyes flashing, "Really? That's great." Then he thought of something, and grinned embarrassedly, "Miss, you know everything." ”
Shu Xiaoen sat down on the chair, picked up the freshly brewed warm strong tea, and took a sip.
Putting down the teacup, she raised her fingers and gently pinched the bridge of her nose, there was a sense of tiredness between her eyebrows, remembering that she had been drowsy most of these days, Shu Xiaoen lowered her eyelids, her black pupils flashed with a strange light, her lips pursed, and she sighed softly: "Bingyi God, where will it appear?"
Yao'er came up with an idea and said, "Perhaps, Miss can buy news from someone?"
Shu Xiaoen didn't speak, raised her eyelids, looked at Yao'er, and motioned for her to continue.
Yao'er said: "Some guilds will sell news, as long as they can afford the price...... Yao'er thought that the Bingyi God was not an ordinary person, and the price was ...... couldn't help but stop, and pondered, "If you have to pay a high price to buy news, then it's best, it's best to buy it from the Kneeling Fire Sect." They are always well-informed. ”
"Kneeling Fire Cult?" Shu Xiaoen muttered. Some unpleasant memories came to mind - Ya Enming followed Qin in and out of the Kneeling Fire Sect...... Everything has changed......
Shu Xiaoen's eyes were gloomy, and he said lightly: "Let's look again." ”
"Yes. Yao'er looked at Shu Xiaoen's sudden indifferent attitude, sighed in her heart, and retreated cautiously.
Standing under the eaves, Yao'er glanced at the inner room from time to time, the cold wind behind her blew, and her palms froze and reddened, and it was cold to the bottom of her heart. Yao'er bit her lower lip, a little scared.
Did you just say the wrong thing...... The Kneeling Fire Cult has never been tolerated by the aristocracy, and in recent years, the emperor and various cities have been severely cracking down on the followers of the Kneeling Fire Sect...... Yao'er shuddered, how could she speak without any measure!
If those words just now reached the ears of Priest Wei or the Third Prince.
Yao'er was thinking about it when a mellow voice came from inside the room, "Yao'er, help me comb my hair." Yao'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly hung in the atrium of the uneasy beating, and only then did she calm down her palpitations.
In the room, the woman sat in front of the dresser, holding a wooden comb in her jade hand, and her waist-length black and silky long hair fell down, making the girl's fair and tender skin more and more crystal clear.
A pair of dark eyes stared into the mirror, tiredness froze between her eyebrows, Yao'er saw that in the bronze mirror, her immature face was uneasy, her steps sped up a few steps, and she walked behind the girl.
Fortunately, the young lady did not fall asleep.
Yao'er sighed secretly in her heart, her hand naturally took the wooden comb from Shu Xiaoen's hand, gently combed her long hair, and helped her long hair into a bun with her fingers, and then looked up, the girl in front of her closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
"Miss?" Yao'er called softly.
Shu Xiaoen opened her eyes, looked at the tired face of the woman in the glasses, and unconsciously raised her hand to stroke her eyebrows, the human skin mask was removed a few days ago, and it was too late to put it on again, and a cloud of black gas faintly revealed between her eyebrows was very similar to the evil qi between Bai Lixiu's eyebrows that she met for the first time.
Shu Xiaoen's pupils appeared chaotically dazed.
At that time, Bai Li's eyebrows were full of evil spirits...... Later, it seemed to be more serious...... I don't know when it started, Bai Lixiu in the dream realm has become a monster in the black mist human body......
What about her?
Are you walking the same path that Bai Lixiu has walked...... Step by step to the abyss of hell?
When Yao'er saw it, she remembered that since Miss took off that mask, she often looked at her face in a daze, and hesitated: "Miss, do you want to take out that mask and put it on?"
Shu Xiaoen glanced at the face in the mirror.
"Get it for me. Knowing Yao'er's kindness, Shu Xiaoen nodded.
Yao'er walked to the head of the bed and took out a wooden box hidden in the headboard.
In the wooden box, there is a human skin mask...... Shu Xiaoen picked up the mask, carefully put it on his face, and then opened his eyes and looked in the mirror, he still looked like before, a little similar to Wei Dongming.
It saves a bit of trouble.
After all, in the first half of her life, her life was smashed by her, and the task list of the King of the Central Plains made the three words "Gong Xunhuan" a well-known name, and her appearance was also on the task list...... There are still some people who remember it.
The day before yesterday, without wearing a hat, all kinds of pedestrians coming and going in the streets and alleys of Shanhai City threw a strange look at her...... There was even an old woman in her seventies who came over and asked her softly, "Are you the worker in Central Plains City?"
"Wei Xiaoen. Shu Xiaoen looked at the baby-fat face in the mirror and muttered.
Yao'er, who was standing behind her, couldn't hear clearly, thinking that the young lady was talking to her, so she instinctively stepped forward to listen, but she didn't hear any more sounds. Yao'er muttered in her heart: Miss won't fall asleep again, right?
"Let's go. Shu Xiaoen retracted his distant thoughts and said lightly, "Go to the mermaid market." ”
