Chapter 63: Putting Down Your Body
spent another day in the carriage, although he didn't say anything, Pei Yungui's expression also exposed the tiredness of running all the way.
She yawned, trying to exhale the boredom that had accumulated for three days with this yawn, wiped away the tears that had soaked from the corners of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw a bony hand on her chest, and her slender fingertips firmly grasped the emerald green pastry.
Pei Yungui was stunned and raised his eyes to look at the owner of these hands.
After all, since that night on the outskirts of the capital, Pei Yun and Gu Rin have never spoken again.
Although they lived under the same roof and were facing each other day by day, the two tacitly maintained a cold silence. It's like a young couple quarreling, and no one will let anyone.
Pei Yungui thought that they would maintain this cold and hard relationship until the end.
But I didn't expect this pastry to appear
Gu Rin turned his face sideways, his eyes didn't know where to go, but his hand was motionless in front of Pei Yungui, his jaw was tense, and his whole body was like a full thread, full of nervousness and uneasiness.
Pei Yungui was very surprised, in her memory, Gu Rin always had his own arrogance.
Whether it is the slightly provocative look in the phoenix eyes when talking to people, or the calmness and carelessness that are not difficult to glimpse on the body on weekdays, it shows that such a person, no matter when and where, lives in the state of the master who is in control.
Such a Gu Rin will never compromise.
But this time, he revealed the preface of the truce to Pei Yungui.
She didn't expect it.
She always felt that something was quietly changing in Gu Rin's body, just like the sincere smile in the past.
Pei Yungui silently took the pastry and thanked him gently.
Gu Rin took the initiative to bow his head to himself, and he had no reason to be angry again, and went down the steps, which was good for everyone.
It was getting dark, and a cool breeze was blowing, and it was pouring rain.
Li Qingyuan originally wanted to continue on his way and find a few hotels to settle them in the middle of the night.
But I didn't want to, the sky was not beautiful, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was more dangerous for the huge team to walk in the rain curtain, so I had to find a nearby town to settle down.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the upper reaches of the town, and many of the hostels are empty, so it is not difficult to settle them.
Back in the wing, it was late at night.
Pei Yungui put down his burden, called for hot water, and took a hot bath while listening to the sound of rain.
The first three days of eating, drinking and sleeping were in the rickety carriage, and it was not easy to live, it was common to sleep until the middle of the night and be woken up by the bumpy mountain road, and the insomnia for several days in a row had accumulated a thick layer of blue and black under Pei Yungui's eyes.
Now that he is immersed in warm water, he is completely slack, surrounded by a strong sense of sleepiness.
When the water was cold, Pei Yungui got up from inside, wiped the water droplets on his body, blew out the lamp, and climbed into bed.
The spring rain came suddenly, and in the second half of the night it fell more and more rapidly, and the crackling rain on the eaves was particularly clear in the silent cold night, and the cold wind passed through, bringing a ghost crying wolf-like cry.
I don't know if the sound of the wind and rain was too noisy, or the temperature dropped suddenly in the night, Pei Yungui woke up from the sound of the rain again.
She rubbed her eyes, opened them in a daze, and before she knew what it was, her eyes flickered by the window of the wing, and in an instant she caught a jet-black humanoid silhouette there.
Pei Yungui froze suddenly, thinking that he was dreaming, he pinched a handful of thigh meat, but he clearly felt a dull pain in his leg.
This pain made her feel uneasy, and her heartbeat increased in vain, and Pei Yungui grabbed her hand that was trembling unconsciously because of fear.
It's not a dream, that's reality.
Shengen woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly found another figure in the room, which was not shocking.
The man was either a demon or a gangster.
And compared with the two, Pei Yungui hopes that it is the former.
Ghosts are just wisps of ghosts, but people are real.
And the human heart is far more vicious than evil spirits.
Pei Yungui suppressed his fear, frantically told himself in his heart that he couldn't panic, and at the same time took his breath lightly, trying his best to hide the fact that he had woken up.
Then he opened his eyes wide and looked carefully.
At the pear blossom table near the window, there was indeed a figure.
He turned his back to Pei Yungui and bowed his head slightly, not knowing what he was doing.
At this angle, Pei Yungui could only see him stretching his hands on the table, making a fuss, and then throwing the things on the table to the side and scolding in a low voice.
At the same time, Pei Yungui had already touched the handle of the long whip under the pillow.
Fortunately, before she fell asleep, she vigilantly put the three self-defense appliances purchased in the capital market under her pillow, so as not to fall into a state of isolation.
The figure rubbed its face, then kicked its pedals aside and turned towards the head of the bed.
In the dark night, Pei Yungui stared at the increasingly big shadow, and the hand holding the long whip suddenly exerted force.
A short sound flashed through the void, and then, the whip was drawn from under the pillow and landed firmly on the figure.
The figure walked halfway unharmed, but he didn't expect the change that happened in the sky, and in an instant, there was a hot pain on his face.
He exclaimed, covered his face and staggered to the side.
Pei Yungui's eyes lit up.
Listen to the voice, it's a man.
She smiled coldly, and the long whip in her hand flicked fiercely, falling mercilessly on the figure like a downpour.
Since she is a man, she can't keep her hands behind.
Now that he has the upper hand, if he doesn't beat him to death, when he reacts, he will be the main guest, and Pei Yungui himself will likely become a lamb to the slaughter.
After experiencing a crisis, she will not let herself face a desperate situation again.
The first blow to the figure was not in the foresight, and his brain was still confused, so he was whipped into a spinning top by the long whips that came one after another, and his whole body was not only painful but still painful, and after a while, he fell to the ground, crying for mercy.
I couldn't help complaining in my heart, what kind of sin did I create to steal this house, I didn't get half a piece of silver, and I ate a meal of whip fried meat in vain.
The grief greets with more regret, and finally tries to escape against the wall.
Pei Yungui took the man's movements into his eyes, immediately jumped off the bed, stood barefoot on the ground, the whip in his hand did not stop for half a minute, and a flying dragon danced in the air, and it struck the figure like lightning and thunder.
The figure's eyes were dilated, and it screamed, dragging its stump back quickly, but it was still hit by the blow.
"Please, auntie, you can't fight anymore." The man finally couldn't bear it anymore, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, a handful of snot and tears, and if he continued to fight, it was estimated that he would cause death, he was just here to steal things, not to find death.
"The villain swears, this offense is just to come to your house to steal some money so that you can go on the road, not to peep at the girl's face, and just rummaged through, the villain didn't catch anything."
Pei Yungui wore his hair loose and his face was cold, like a rakshasa in the night.
The man shrank himself in a corner in fear, covering his wounds, shivering.
This is a girl, this is clearly a jade-faced rakshasa!
Pei Yungui glanced at her messed up baggage, her face became gloomy again, she took out a hemp rope from the baggage with a cold face, threw it over, and her voice was cold, "Tie yourself up." ”
The two-finger-thick hemp rope suddenly fell on his body, and the man took it for a while, and before he could react, he saw Pei Yungui shake the whip in his hand.
His eyes shrunk, he shuddered, and scrambled to tie himself up.
Pei Yungui made sure that the man had tied himself up, so he stepped forward, tried the tightness of the rope, and tied the man with his long whip in order to be safe.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and her beating heart gradually quieted down.
Fang Cai's expression was just imitated by Gu Rin's interrogation of the prisoner, one person looked at another man with a big waist and a round waist, saying that it was fake not to panic in his heart.
But in the bottom of my heart, even if I am afraid, I can't admit defeat in face.
It wasn't until the man was really restrained by himself that his hanging heart was completely let go.
In the second half of the night, there was such a fuss about this incident, there was one more person in the room for no reason, and Pei Yungui couldn't sleep, so he simply lit the lamp.
When the room was bright, she moved a chair and sat in front of the man, and to be on the safe side, Pei Yungui turned back to the head of the bed, took out the dagger under the pillow, and sat back down.
Seeing the sharp blade shining with an awe-inspiring cold light under the shadow of the candle, the man's heart that had calmed down jumped wildly again, and half of his body softened in fright.
"Auntie...... Girl, if you don't do it, spare your life, girl! ”
Pei Yungui didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, and directly put the dagger against the man's neck.
"I have a few questions, and you answer them one by one: What is your name, where did you come from, why did you appear in my room, and was there someone behind it? I advise you to answer truthfully, otherwise ......" Pei Yungui's eyes narrowed, and his hand fell with a knife, separating half of the man's sleeve, "If what I said is false, I will treat this sleeve like this, cut your throat and bleed, and then dismantle your corpse." ”
"Yes, yes, the villain will answer truthfully, girl, take the dagger away, don't shake your hands......"
"No more nonsense!"
"Yes, yes...... The villain, the villain's name is Chen Ershang, from ...... Coming from Mosang County, running all the way, the silver on his body was spent, so he closed his eyes and looked for this hotel, sneaking in while the guard Xiao Er was dozing off, I wanted to take advantage of the silver money for me to get on the road, but I didn't expect it......" Chen Ershang raised his eyes in embarrassment, glanced at Pei Yungui's face, and said in a mournful voice: "The villain is blind and collided with the girl, and it is really hard to die." The girl can beat me and scold me casually, whatever, just let the villain live...... There are three acres of uncultivated land in the villain's home, and I am a single seedling, and I can't ...... it."
"Shut up!"
Pei Yungui was thinking about the truth of Chen Ershang's words, but his thoughts were interrupted in vain, and his anger was even greater.
She always felt that this person's origin was unknown, what Moisan County, she hadn't heard of, but it should be a small county not far from here.
Now it is spring ploughing, listening to Chen Ershang's description, he should be a farmer, and in the busy farming season, he is not at home to farm to make a living, what to run out, and there are still young and old at home, as the only man, he should not flee his homeland.
Besides, there has been no war in Daqi recently, so he should not belong to the refugee ranks.
When I thought about it like this, I felt that the man's words were full of loopholes.
It seems that the medicine is not strong enough.
Pei Yungui shook his hand, and then violently pressed the blade directly on Chen Ershang's neck.
She had a cold look in her eyes and was about to make another threat, but she heard a loud noise outside.
Pei Yungui was stunned, his subordinates relaxed, put away the dagger, and looked straight out of the window.
