Chapter 8: The Mute in the Mask
The man was masked and dressed in black, with a sword in his right hand, and was clearly indistinguishable from the Assassin he had encountered.
Su Huang picked up the branch on the ground and slammed it at the man, then turned around and ran back. Who knew that the man ran faster than Su Huang, and ran in front of Su Huang in the blink of an eye. The man hurriedly waved his hand and gestured for a while, which made Su Huang feel that he didn't seem to have malicious intent.
"Who are you?What are you doing here?Who sent you?" Su Huang asked three questions in a row, but the man didn't answer any of them.
The man pointed to his mouth and waved his hand again. Su Huang asked tentatively, "Are you dumb?"
The man nodded. Su Huang's guarded heart relaxed temporarily. The man took a step forward and grabbed Su Huang's left hand, Su Huang took a step back first, seeing that he didn't hurt his actions, so he didn't resist.
The man wrote on Su Huang's hand, "I'm not a bad person, I just passed by here by chance." ”
"And what's your name?" asked Su Huang.
"My name is Xiaomu. The man wrote on Su Huang's palm.
"Why are you wearing a mask, can you take it off?" Su Huang continued to ask.
Xiao Mu took a step back, shook his head violently with his hand on the mask, and then wrote on Su Huang's palm, "I have an ugly face and can't show it." ”
In the next few days, Xiao Mu was like living in the mountains, as long as Su Huang was in need, Xiao Mu would be the first to run out to help. Su Huang felt that Xiao Mu was a very amazing person, as if nothing could bother him, the originally dilapidated thatched house was in Xiao Mu's hands, and in less than a day, it was completely new, the roof was repaired, the windows were opened, and even the dust on the ground was cleaned.
Then Xiaomu cut a few more sections of wood and made a bed for Su Huang to come out. Su Huang was full of gratitude, feeling that it was a gift from God to him that such a person who could do anything and really helped himself in such a miserable situation.
Whenever Su Huang was worried about eating, Xiao Mu would always send enough food as soon as possible, whenever Su Huang felt cold, Xiao Mu would always send charcoal fire as soon as possible, and whenever Su Huang was depressed, Xiao Mu would always act as the object of Su Huang's confiding in him for the first time.
One day two months later, Su Huang finally couldn't help but say: "Xiaomu, don't always come to me, this period of time has caused you a lot of trouble, and if you trouble you like this, I will really feel uneasy in conscience!"
Xiao Mu smiled, pulled Su Huang's arm, and motioned for her to go with him, Su Huang was a little puzzled and a little reluctant, "Xiao Mu, where are you going to take me?"
Xiao Mu didn't say anything more, just pulled Su Huang towards the place he wanted to go.
It should be the most beautiful scenery in the entire Lingyun Peak, the mountain road is very flat, and wild chrysanthemums of different colors are blooming one after another, standing tall with their heads in the autumn wind. Then Xiao Mu opened his arms and stood among the flowers, looking very relaxed.
Su Huang thought his action was very interesting, smiled and said, "What are you going to do here?"
Xiao Mu put his index finger to his mouth and motioned to Su Huang not to speak. But in a moment, Su Huang found that many butterflies flew in, and some even landed on Xiao Mu's hands. Su Huang was so surprised that he was almost speechless, "You, you can even attract bees and butterflies!" Xiao Mu pulled Su Huang into this sea of butterfly flowers, and soon Su Huang's head and hands were also full of butterflies.
At this time, Xiao Mu looked at Su Huang with love, and suddenly grabbed Su Huang's arm and wanted to kiss Su Huang, but was pushed away by Su Huang, although he felt that Xiao Mu always had an inexplicable sense of closeness, but the person he loved was always Mu Xize, although he misunderstood himself, she couldn't betray him.
"Xiaomu, I'm sorry, I have a husband, I have someone I love, I can't betray him!" Su Huang said guiltily.
However, Xiao Mu was not half annoyed, and just smiled slightly at Su Huang.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Su Huang has been living in Lingyun Peak for more than half a year. It was a sunny noon, Su Huang watered the vegetable garden and was about to chop some firewood, only to see that Mrs. Miaozhen, who led her up the mountain half a year ago, actually brought the emperor's personal eunuch Manager Liu to his residence.
It can be seen that Miaozhen is very nervous, except for the fact that Miaozhen gave her some food and clothes just after going up the mountain, she has not appeared since, obviously forgetting her. It must be that Miaozhen felt that the people who were assigned here were forgotten, and what was waiting for them must be only death, and there would be no more life, so he left Su Huang to fend for himself.
What Miaozhen didn't expect was that Su Huang not only did not die, but also lived well, the original dilapidated thatched house was renewed, and there was a vegetable garden around it, and there were two chickens next to the garden who were concentrating on eating the rice that Xiao Yugang had just sown.
Manager Liu, who was traveling with him, was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, and he calmed down for a long time before saying, "Princess Ning, the emperor has pardoned your guilt, you can go back to the palace!"
Su Huang had mixed feelings in his heart, the joy of being reborn after the catastrophe, the worry about the future, the reluctance to give up here, and Xiaomu. Xiao Mu didn't come to her these days, if she returned to the palace at this time, how could it be good if Xiao Mu couldn't find her on the mountain, if she returned to the palace in the future, would she not see Xiao Mu again in the future.
I wanted to drag it until Xiaomu came to see me again and then go back, but I didn't expect that the person waiting for me was not Xiaomu, but Mu Xize. After not seeing him for half a year, Su Huang felt that Mu Xize seemed to be thinner than before, and his appearance seemed to have become more handsome.
"Why, I'm used to living here, I don't want to go back!" Mu Xize said in a slightly cold tone.
"No, it's not. After not seeing Mu Xize for a long time, Su Huang felt a little nervous.
"Then let's go!" Mu Xize took Su Huang's hand and walked down the mountain with Su Huang.
It turned out that the emperor was praying for blessings in Jing'an Temple, and Mu Xize also worked with the emperor, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu Xize took Su Huang down the mountain.
In a secluded meditation room in Jing'an Temple. Wang Guifei looked a little restless, "Didn't you say that Su Huang wouldn't return to Mu Xize alive, now she has probably arrived at Jing'an Temple." Then he showed a cruel look, "Su Huang is alive, it seems to be even more unfavorable for you!"
"Wang Guifei is too worried, Su Huang can't live today. "The person who spoke was the Xia Meiren who was newly canonized by the emperor half a year ago, and it was Xia Qingqing in King Ning's mansion. Xia Qingqing sneered, her eyes full of murderous intent.
After coming down from Lingyun Peak, Mu Xize accompanied the emperor and the concubines to chant and pray in the main hall of Jing'an Temple, leaving only Su Huang to tidy up in the meditation room.
Xiao Yu ran in in a panic and said in a very unnatural tone: "Miss, I just met Xiao Mu, and he said that he was waiting for you at the small waterfall outside Jing'an Temple!"
Probably because I wanted to see Xiaomu too much, I ran to the small waterfall without even thinking about it, the waterfall is surrounded by trees, the road is not easy to walk, and few people usually come here. Su Huang stood by the waterhole, waiting for Xiao Mu a little anxiously, wanting to say goodbye to him in person before leaving.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Su Huang turned around and called happily: "Xiaomu." But he felt that although the man was also wearing a mask, he seemed to be different from Xiaomu. "Is it Xiaomu?" asked Su Huang vigilantly.
"Yes. The man replied.
Su Huang was startled and turned around to escape, but was suddenly pushed into the waterhole by the man.
