As soon as I saw that dirty face and the big sharp eyes on my face, I suddenly felt excited.

So, isn't it Cai Wei?

She obviously saw me too, and her whole body trembled, I don't know whether she was scared or excited, and those big eyes kept flashing with light, and then I felt that it was tears. She was curled up in a worn-out, mud-stained felt, no longer as clean as it had been, but like mud that could be trampled on.

When I looked at her, and she looked at me, there were a few people next to me, pointing fingers at her.

"This girl...... It looks good, but it's a mute. ”

"Dumb? Who wants to be dumb! ”

"But look at her, she has good hands and feet, and she looks good—"

"I don't want to be dumb."

……

Mute? I frowned, hasn't she recovered yet?

Liu Qinghan saw that I had been staring at her, and seemed to feel something, he didn't speak, and I had already walked over a few steps, as soon as Cai Wei saw me walking over, she immediately ran over and threw herself into my arms: "Madam!" ”

When she opened her mouth, I heard that she was not unrestorative, but not as good, her voice was hoarse as if the rough sand and stone were grinding, and the sound could be said to be very ugly and uncomfortable.

But I don't understand, why is she here?

I put my hands on her arm, trying to pull her up, only to find that she didn't seem to have much strength, and several times I tried to stand up, but I also fell down. I glanced back at Liu Qinghan, and he said calmly: "Go back to the teahouse first, let her sit down and rest, and eat something." ”

As soon as Cai Wei saw me, it was like a drowning person who had caught a life-saving straw, although she had no strength, but her two hands were like iron tongs that kept grabbing me and refused to let go, I half supported and half hugged her, and reluctantly followed Liu Qinghan back to the restaurant, and still chartered the private room, and asked the shopkeeper to send some hot tea and things that could be eaten, she finally relaxed a little at this time, looked at us, and looked at the food on the sitting, and immediately grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

In my impression, she is smart and clever, and she is also a rare few people in Jinling Mansion who are willing to come to my side, but now it has fallen like this, although I am also angry that she once wanted to betray me, and even drugged her dumb, but people are like this, once the reality is happy, or peaceful, I don't care so much about the past, and even some entangled hatred will be reduced a lot, looking at her unkempt and muddy face, I feel distressed first.

So, he took out a handkerchief, moistened the corner with tea, and gently wiped the mud from her face as she gulped down.

After wiping some of it, I realized that her face was still injured, and as soon as I touched it, she hissed and inhaled cold air, as if it was in severe pain.

My brow immediately tightened: "What's wrong?" Who hit you? ”

She wrapped a mouthful of snacks, and when she heard this, her eyes turned red and she looked up at me.

“……”

I was silent for a moment: "It's because I ran away, right?" ”

Her tears flowed down like beads with broken threads, and she immediately cut her face one by one, and when she spoke again, her voice became even more hoarse: "We, we are all locked up, and we have been beaten for a long time......"

"You guys?" I said, "And the guards?" ”

"Hmm."

"Is it Childe's order?"

She looked at me pitifully and nodded, but immediately shook her head again: "When we were taken back to the inner courtyard, Childe was sitting in the house, and the house was in such a mess, everything was broken, and Childe's hands were full of blood, as if he didn't feel pain. No matter what we said or how we begged for mercy, Childe did not react. ”

I bit my lower lip and didn't speak, but Liu Qinghan, who had been sitting next to me, raised his head and looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes.

At this moment, both of them fell silent.

"Later, Miss—" she said, and looked at me again, a little timidly, "she, she is already Madame, and Madame ordered us to be locked up." ”

“……”

"We were beaten all night."

“……”

"Later, I heard that they were going to kill us."

My face changed suddenly, and Cai Wei's throat seemed to be a little unbearable, coughed a few times, Liu Qinghan, who had been silent, picked up a cup of tea at hand at this time, and gently put it in front of her, she nodded hurriedly, and said noly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

After she took a few sips and the teacup bottomed out, I asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, the second lady came."

"......" My breath tightened: "Miss Zitong?" ”

"Hmm. The second lady came to see me and saw that I was beaten like this, so she secretly let me go. ”

“……”

"She also told me to leave Jinling quickly, if I stay there any longer, I will definitely not survive."

“……”

"I crossed the river secretly, I didn't have any money on me, and no family would hire me, so I finally got a job, and they deceived people to trick me into that kind of place."

My brow suddenly twisted into a pimple.

"I, I managed to escape, there was no way...... I can only come here......"

It was already very difficult for her to continue, coughing desperately, her throat seemed to be scraped with a knife, very uncomfortable, and I didn't expect that I left Jinling, only two days, but she had already experienced so much, this body injury, as well as those unbearable memories, for a girl, it is already a desperate situation.

I frowned and said softly, "Okay, don't talk, take a rest first." ”

Although I said this, she looked up at me, her eyes were red from the violent coughing, and there seemed to be tears flashing, and she said softly: "Madame, I know that Madame blames me, and at that time I wanted to betray Madame and let them come and arrest you." ”

“……”

I was silent, looking at her with a faint expression.

"I, I know I'm wrong."

“……”

"Please, madam, give me another chance."

“……”

"I will definitely serve Madame well!"

Seeing her eagerness as if she had found a life-saving straw, I didn't immediately agree to her, but calmly filled her teacup with tea, and then pulled another plate of dim sum and put it in front of her, saying, "You eat something first, and when you have the strength, you will talk." ”

She nodded, wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and lowered her head to continue eating and drinking.

I looked at her pitiful appearance, sighed silently, and when I raised my head again, Liu Qinghan, who was sitting opposite, was looking at me calmly.

Sensing that he seemed to have something to say, I looked at him too.

However, when he opened his mouth, he didn't talk to me, but asked Caiwei: "How long have you been waiting here to sell yourself into slavery?" ”

Cai Wei seemed to be a little afraid of him, timid, and whispered: "Probably, about half an hour." I walked on the road for a long time......"

Liu Qinghan's face sank.

I said softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Come with me."

After saying that, he first stood up and walked to the windowsill on the other side of the private room, Cai Wei looked up at me, I patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, and then walked over, through the beaded curtain, and saw that his face darkened slightly in the sun.

It's been so long since he came out today, and his mood can't be said to be very bad, but this time, it can be seen that his mood is starting to be bad.

I spoke first, "What's wrong?" ”

He didn't speak, but looked at me, and then at the other end of the shaking bead curtain, and at Cai Wei, who was still coughing and drinking.

I also looked back, then at him, "Do you think I should save her?" ”

“……”

"Or, give her a little money and let her fend for herself?"

“……”

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Just now you asked me to help you choose a girl." ”

"Hmmm......"

"I've already chosen."

I raised my eyebrows - indeed, I just asked him to choose a clever girl who could serve me among the group of girls who sold themselves, and he chose Cai Wei, and this girl, knowing my origins, is indeed smart and clever, if you want to use people, it is true that she is a good choice.

Besides, after the previous experience, she only understood my methods better and was more faithful.

But when I looked at him, it didn't look like I was going to be relieved, so I asked, "Why are you still worried about picking her?" ”

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Probably, your carriage won't be able to pick you up again tomorrow morning." ”

"What?"

"Go change the time, today, leave with us at the same time."

"......" I frowned, "What do you mean—"

Liu Qinghan took a deep breath and said: "Before, even if Pei Yuanxiu knew that Yusheng rescued you from Jinling, but Jiangnan is so big, Yangzhou alone is not a place where his hands and eyes reach the sky, he is not so easy to find, more likely, he will guess that you have gone to Xichuan with Yusheng, and it will not happen overnight to recover you." ”

I nodded.

"But now it's different, this girl has escaped, and she has escaped here."

“……”

"There's a good chance that someone from Jinling will come and arrest her. Tracking her is much easier than tracking Yusheng, she doesn't know how to do any anti-tracking skills. ”

I understood immediately.

It is true that no matter how smart this little girl is, she is not smart enough to consciously destroy the evidence left by Miè's escape, but even if I know a little bit about it, I was so careful when I was in the capital, and I was still tracked down by the people of Changming Sect to Huang Tianba's Qingmei Villa.

If, the people of Jinling come to arrest her; If, they tracked it down to Qishan Village; If they ask again, they will generally find out the whereabouts of me and Liu Qinghan!

Liu Qinghan turned his head to look out the window, his face was slightly solemn: "So, we have to leave as much as possible." ”

“……”

"I don't want to have a confrontation with him right now."
