Chapter Eighty-Three: Old Memories of the Spring Rain 3
Yao Yun thought that he would take off his mask to eat, but it was not as she wished, and she regretted that she couldn't see his true face. If he is really a handsome and dashing Lang Jun with a jade tree in the wind, she can also feast her eyes.
She leaned on the Hu table with her chin in her hands, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lang Jun, why do you keep wearing a mask?" ”
Xiao Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and said bitterly in a calm voice: "Below, below, the appearance is extremely ugly, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will scare the lady." ”
"I see, it's just a hard worker like me."
Yao Yun saw that he was eating happily, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned sideways and slightly lifted the outer corner of the hood, scooped up the hot wontons and ate them together.
"Hee-hee, it's really hot!"
Xiao Chengyu raised his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and after repeating this several times, he finally saw clearly the small half of the little lady's face that had to be exposed. The hideous red marks on half of the side face were dazzling and seeping, even if he was experienced in a hundred battles, he had rarely seen such a ferocious burning scar, and he couldn't help but gasp.
He lowered his head again and quietly finished eating a large bowl of ravioli.
The gentle rain is mixed with the elegant fragrance of green grass and wood branches, and it suddenly jumps into the wooden house naughtily, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Yao Yun moved the candlestick slightly closer so that she could fully see the patterns on the broken and worn bamboo scroll in front of her.
She took a stack of freshly bound paper and retraced the patterns of flowers and herbs carved on the bamboo scroll on the new paper in great detail.
Xiao Chengyu often probed this way, and through the flickering faint candlelight, he could see clearly the white face under the hood, as well as the pair of shining and preoccupied brown eyes.
From time to time, she frowned slightly and meditated, and from time to time her brows stretched and suddenly brightened, concentrating on doing what she liked.
It's a pity that there is a narrow and vicious red mark left at the corner of the right eye of the hooked person. A little curiosity swelled inexplicably in his heart, not knowing what kind of cruel and painful torture the little lady under the hat had suffered.
The spring rain is getting smaller, the cool breeze is light, and everything is lonely. The two spent three days of peace together.
After changing his medicine and eating breakfast on this day, he leaned back on the couch as usual and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The little lady was tinkering with the herbs in the doorframe of the room, and occasionally had a few amusing words with him.
Without the endless troubles of military affairs, and without the complicated and changeable people's doubts, he felt more and more that such an ordinary life was also excellent.
For some reason, it was as if there were thousands of wild beasts jumping and screaming wildly in his heart, and they became more and more intense and presumptuous, and his eyes sank, and it was the first time he became greedy.
It's a pity that his imagination and greed had to come to an abrupt end at this time!
"What kind of horn is this, it doesn't look like someone has been here......"
"Don't talk nonsense, don't be careless, go over there and take a closer look......"
The two people in the room looked up at the same time, looking at each other with surprise and confusion.
There was a faint sound of voice not far outside the room, and it sounded like there was more than one person.
This place is located in the northwest corner of the Qilian Mountains under the deep mountain sinkhole, and the location is extremely hidden. The old man Langzhong hiked into the deep mountains of Qilian half a month ago to collect medicine and test poison, and he would not easily go out of the mountain for a month, so there should be no one else here and now.
"You have a visitor?" The man asked tentatively.
Yao Yun frowned, shook his head solemnly, and then said softly: "You stay in the house first, I'll take a look outside." ”
Yao Yun quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the Hu table, took a freshly brewed pot of hot tea, rearranged the curtains, and walked out of the cabin lightly.
In the distance, she could see two strange men with scruffy faces and dressed in scrooked clothes. The two of them seemed to have seen the dilapidated log cabin at this end, and rushed towards it like the wind.
Her eyes flickered, and a strong sense of foreboding suddenly surged in her heart. She turned around and half-crouched down and took out a stick of incense sticks from the small wooden box next to the wooden door.
The short and fat man among them wiped the cold rain that had blurred his eyes, and took the lead in speaking with a big grin: "Big brother, there is actually someone in this place, it seems, it seems to be a woman. ”
The tall and thin man looked in the direction in which he was speaking, squinted his eyes rather cautiously, and shouted coldly, "Go, go and see." ”
"Hey, who are you?!"
Yao Yun turned around in surprise, timidly raised the lit incense stick in his hand, and waved it in front of the two of them intentionally or unintentionally.
Humpty Langjun stroked the long beard on his chin, and shouted with a lascivious smile: "Hey, look at this figure, it should still be a young lady, big brother, you and I have been tracking for days, and we are so tired that we are about to collapse down, so it's better to ......"
"Shut up, it's important to get down to business."
The middle-aged man known as the eldest brother looked at him coldly, and at the same time pulled out the cold big knife in his hand towards the little lady's jade neck.
"Take the dirt off your hands, and honestly, have you ever seen any injured or a man wearing a strange mask?"
Yao Yun was so frightened that his fingertips trembled slightly, and the incense stick in his hand accidentally fell at the feet of the two of them.
She shook her head in a panic, and said in a slightly trembling sweet voice: "Two, two Langjun, little lady, I, I have never seen any injured Langjun, this little broken house has always been, has always been the only little lady." ”
Hearing that the little lady lived here alone, Humpty Langjun's eyes were even more greedy and lewd, and he did not shy away from following her to look up and down.
"Little lady, tsk, how can I bear to let you be alone in this deep mountain and old forest? Why don't you invite the two of us brothers into the house for tea? ”
The little lady timidly shrunk her thin jade shoulders, waved her hands back and forth in a panic, and her whole body was full of resistance.
"Lang Jun, this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, there is a difference between men and women, this is, this is ......"
The tall and thin man waved his long knife and pushed away the jade hand that was blocking her in front of him, and said sharply, "What? Could it be that there are still people hidden in the house, for the safety of the little lady, then we brothers have to go in and check it out. Alo, let's go ......."
Yao Yun was so anxious that she turned sideways and blocked in front of the small wooden door, crying out shyly and weakly: "The two Langjun are slow, it's not that the little girl is unwilling to let the two Langjun enter the house, it's just, it's just ......."
The little lady slowly lifted the corner of the white gauze hat, and the scarlet and hideous left cheek appeared slightly in front of the two.
The two of them were surprised, and they couldn't help but gasp.
"The two Lang Jun don't know anything, the little girl is a lonely star with a bad fate, she is born ugly, and since she was born, she has killed more than a dozen people around the neighborhood."
