Chapter 149: Decline the invitation of Meiyi, Qingshui Village
Qing Moyan returned to Shifang Town in the middle of the night. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
There was silence in the house.
He changed his clothes and went into the inner room.
Ru Xiaonan curled up on the 'bed', and the quilt had long been lost.
When Qing Moyan lay down, Ru Xiaonan seemed to feel the heat around her, leaned towards him, and arched into his arms.
Pulling the quilt to cover the two of them, Qing Moyan closed her eyes, feeling the warmth in her arms and relaxing.
The next day, at breakfast, Shi Datian came over in a hurry.
"Last night, something happened to the bear shopkeeper of the Ci 'Medicine' Hall. Somehow, the guy drank too much and drove his own carriage out of town, only to be gnawed to death by wild beasts. β
Ru Xiaonan stuffed rice into her mouth and looked up at Shi Datian curiously.
"Childe is eating. Can't you say something else?"
Shi Datian was stunned, and smiled, "I've inquired about everything else, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my son." β
Qing Moyan put down the chopsticks first, and glanced at Ru Xiaonan, who was still struggling with her job.
"Let's get out. β
Shi Datian followed Qing Moyan outside.
"It's hard to find out about Mrs. Poison here in Shifang Town. Shi Datian said regretfully, "She has been in Shifang Town for many years, but she rarely shows her face, some people say that she is over sixty years old this year, but she looks like a young woman, that little face ...... That figure ......"
Shi Datian's mouth was foaming, and his hands were still gesturing in the void.
Xuan 'Yu' coughed.
Shi Datian woke up suddenly, and hurriedly put on a serious appearance, "So I can't ask anything about her here in Shifang Town, and if Gongzi wants to know about her, he has to ask the people in Qingshui Village, or what people in other surrounding villages may know." β
"Those stockades predate Shifang Town. Qing Moyan asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Poison only appeared later, since she had her Shifang Town has prospered, with her protection, the town has been protected from being attacked by wild beasts in the forest, and there are outsiders looting the 'medicine' people...... It's just that there is one thing that is very strange......" Shi Datian scratched his head.
"What's strange?" Qing Moyan looked at him.
"The teenage 'girl' in the town is particularly prone to accidents, and often strange people disappear. Over the years, the rich families in the town have tried to move away, and there are fewer and fewer 'women' left. The mountains here are high and the forests are deep, and even people don't like to come, so everyone can grab the 'girl' from the countryside when they see it...... Of course, like Qing Gongzi, we don't dare to ......"
Shi Datian smiled, but Qingmo's face became more and more dignified.
At this moment, Ru Xiaonan's crisp children's voice came from outside the 'door', which sounded like she was talking to someone.
Qing Moyan glanced at Xuan's jade.
Xuan 'Yu' immediately pushed the 'door' out, only to see Cai Yiming standing in the courtyard with a small servant, bowing his head and talking to Ru Xiaonan with a smile.
"This is for me?" Ru Xiaonan held a brocade box in her hand and looked at it curiously.
The brocade box contains a pair of 'jade' hairpins, the hairpins are hollowed out and carved with butterflies, although they are not priceless, but the workmanship is 'exquisite' and exquisite, and it is not a vulgar thing at a glance.
Ru Xiaonan 'touched' the hairpin. The expression on his face was not as happy as Cai Yiming had imagined.
"Don't you like Miss Ru?" Cai Yiming said in surprise.
In his impression, there is no one who doesn't like jewelry.
Every time he came home. A few sisters in the house and a few concubines in his back house, no matter who sees the jewelry he brought back, they will be 'happy'.
He looked down at the expression on Ru Xiaonan's face, and a musky aroma came to his face.
He was stunned.
From each other's faces. He could tell that she hadn't been powdered and that she wasn't wearing any sachets.
He couldn't imagine where the scent came from, but it came closer, as if it were coming from her, from her hair, from her skin. Exhaled breath...... It's all infused with this scent.
For a moment, Cai Yiming couldn't help but fall into a trance.
"Cai Yiming?" the crisp children's voice pulled him back to reality.
This is the first time that Cai Yiming has been called by a teenage 'girl' by his name.
"What's wrong with you?" Ru Xiaonan blinked at her green cat's eyes, "It's rude for you to keep staring at me like this." She complained, sincerely.
Cai Yiming couldn't help laughing, "Miss Ru is right, I was rude." β
Ru Xiaonan held the brocade box and handed it over.
"What, you don't like it?" Cai Yiming asked puzzled.
Ru Xiaonan shook her head, "No, I like it very much, but I can't accept your things." She forcibly stuffed the brocade box into Cai Yiming's arms.
"Then why ......"
"Qing Moyan doesn't like me to accept other people's things. Ru Xiaonan stuck out her tongue at him, turned around and ran away.
Cai Yiming stood there with the brocade box, the musky aura diffused, and gradually faded as she moved away, as if his heart was about to be pulled away.
He was in a daze, and suddenly the voice of Xuan 'Yu' came from behind him: "My son-in-law invited Mr. Cai to come in and talk." β
Cai Yiming hurriedly gathered his thoughts and followed Xuan 'Yu' into the house.
Qing Moyan's gaze first fell on the brocade box in Cai Yiming's arms.
"Cai Gongzi is here to give gifts?"
Cai Yiming smiled, "It's just some gadgets, I thought Miss Ru would like it, but who knew that she said that you wouldn't let me accept it." β
"That's right. Qing Moyan's lips hooked, and she admitted unabashedly, "Except for what I gave her, I don't allow her to accept gifts from others." β
"Why?" Cai Yiming looked surprised, "I don't mean anything else." β
"This girl is simple-minded, and it is easy to be abducted because of some small favors. Naturally, I had to take precautions. β
This is reasonable, not only Cai Yiming, but even Shi Datian, who has not left in the house, is shocked.
It's obviously overbearing, okay. But when these words came out of Qing Moyan's mouth, people naturally accepted them.
Cai Yiming smiled awkwardly and put the brocade box on the table.
The other party has said everything about this. No matter how much he forcibly sent it, it would seem that he had ulterior motives.
"I don't know what Cai Gongzi came for?" Qing Moyan said bluntly.
Cai Yiming took out a small woodcut sign and put it on the table, "This is an invitation card from Qingshui Village." Last time you saved their people, the owner of the village wants to invite you to participate in the 'medicine' god sacrifice in the village. β
Qing Moyan picked up the wooden sign and looked at it, "What day is the 'medicine' divine sacrifice?"
"Tomorrow. Cai Yiming stood up as he spoke. "I'll go that day, too, if Young Master Qing is going too, we'll go together then. β
Qing Moyan nodded, this can be regarded as a default.
Cai Yiming then took his leave.
When leaving the yard, Cai Yiming heard the sound of dogs barking from behind the trees, mixed with the crisp laughter of the 'girl' children, which shook like silver bells and fell to the ground with the autumn wind.
