Chapter 43: The Ashes of Warning
Zhenbei Royal Domain.
Hongzhou Mine.
Jin Ye's Mansion.
If a person wants to leave, no one can stop him.
Even if the person is just an ordinary person.
I haven't practiced martial arts.
Nor is there a strong physique.
You can't stop you from leaving.
Coincidentally, the weather on the Jinye mine was excellent.
There is no wind in the Jin Ye Mansion.
But even outside his mansion, there was not a trace of wind and sand.
This is a very rare thing.
There is more than one person who wants to leave.
Rather, three.
The stranger who had arrived at the Jin Ye's mansion earlier had already left.
I was in a good mood when I left.
also asked Jin Ye to borrow a horse.
Promise to return it the next time you come back to build something.
Although Jin Ye doesn't know when the next time will be.
He was not very interested in Liu Ruiying.
But he is extremely reluctant to be a little ghost.
But the little clever man who comes and goes like the wind is like a little bird without legs.
However, a horse can be exchanged for friendship with such a gold owner, but it is a sure thing.
Liu Ruiying took Hua Nong and the little ghost to leave.
This made Jin Ye a little disappointed......
Often when you least want to see the little ghost, he will appear in front of your eyes.
Liu Ruiying was relieved that he still lived in grocery stores, restaurants, and coffin shops.
Jin Ye already knows everything he wants to know here.
You won't stay anywhere for long.
But he won't go far.
Because this incident is far from over.
After Liu Ruiying said goodbye to Jin Ye, he left with Hua Nong.
Without the invasion of wind and sand, Liu Ruiying hurried very fast.
It took less than half the time to see the grocery store, the restaurant, the coffin shop.
If you stay any longer, it's just a drink.
But it's also boring......
It was just in time for such a beautiful night.
But the lights were still on inside.
Liu Ruiying dismounted and walked in.
Saw the old dad and the fat boss drinking.
It's night.
But it's not too late.
Although the laborers under the straw hut at the door have all dispersed to sleep.
But there is a little sour in my heart.
That's the case with men.
When the proprietress seduced him before, although there was a throbbing in her heart, she still had to pretend to be a righteous gentleman who was not messing around.
The two of you and I are in love.
When Liu Ruiying stepped over the threshold, the two of them were actually drinking a glass of wine.
Liu Ruiying looked at it and wanted to laugh.
At best, it's a little embarrassing.
Liu Ruiying walked against the wall, ready to go upstairs directly.
He didn't want to disturb the couple, and he didn't want the couple to find out that they were back.
Now seeing the tenderness and sweetness of the proprietress and the fat boss, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
This feeling is not jealousy.
At least Liu Ruiying will never admit that she is jealous.
Unexpectedly, the proprietress put down the wine glass, turned around and said to Liu Ruiying.
Her lower body was still sitting in her chair.
Crossed Erlang's legs.
After all, when he was leaving, the proprietress had a cold attitude towards herself......
Now there's no need to get up to it and be bored.
"Coming back so soon?"
As for the fat boss, he smiled at Liu Ruiying innocently, which can be regarded as saying hello.
"There was no wind and sand outside tonight, and it was a smooth walk. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
It's just that his waist twisted towards Liu Ruiying.
In the dim light, the proprietress had two lumps of blush on her cheeks.
is set off by such a posture, but it is even more enchanting.
"Is my brother bad?"
The proprietress then asked.
Then he pulled the stool next to him outward.
But he deliberately answered the question.
The proprietress asked why he came back so soon from Jin Ye.
But Liu Ruiying only said that he was very fast.
He asked Hua Nong to go up first to see how those people were doing.
When the fat boss saw Liu Ruiying sit down, he immediately helped him bring a wine glass.
Liu Ruiying looked at the wine glass and smiled.
motioned for Liu Ruiying to sit over as well.
"Good. ”
Liu Ruiying thought about it and walked over.
The proprietress personally poured Liu Ruiying a glass.
Liu Ruiying stretched out his hand and prepared to take out the silver.
was held down by the proprietress on the wrist.
I thought that there was no difference between being at Jin Ye's place and coming back, it was just drinking.
But drinking also depends on where and with whom.
For some reason, Liu Ruiying just felt that drinking here was much more comfortable in Jin Ye's kind mansion.
The proprietress regained her previous enthusiasm and became more generous.
Liu Ruiying smiled and nodded.
Wouldn't it be a great thing for someone to invite themselves to drink?
"I'll ask you to drink!"
The proprietress said.
Not seen for a few days.
Since Liu Ruiying sat down, the fat boss began to drink by himself.
He used a bowl.
It is exactly the same sea bowl that Liu Ruiying saw in the Jin Ye Mansion.
Women are fickle, hot and cold, and it is normal for them to be separated.
But Liu Ruiying didn't expect it.
What an abnormal thing it is for a person who never leaves money in three sentences to suddenly become generous and invite people to drink?
The proprietress stretched out her foot and kicked the fat boss, but the other party did not move.
"This guy...... After so many years, I haven't grown at all!"
The proprietress said with some complaints.
A jug of wine was poured into it, but it was not even a third of it.
The fat boss picked up the bowl and was a pot of belly.
Soon he fell asleep on the table, snoring like thunder.
The proprietress spoke amazingly.
This remark really shocked Liu Ruiying.
But if a man only knows how to drink and gamble all his life, then the most painful thing is his wife. ”
"What do you want to grow?
Liu Ruiying asked jokingly.
"Of course, although they all say that men who don't drink and don't gamble are good. But a man who doesn't drink or gamble is still a little manly?"
only to find that everything will be very unsatisfactory......
Graceful, when he calls for friends and is drunk, you have to stay alone in the empty room.
has a lot of money, and there are flowers and grass everywhere, and the vinegar alone is enough to smoke a person to death......
The proprietress then sighed again and said leisurely.
Many women fall in love with a man, perhaps because of the other party's suave or wealthy family at first.
But if you really marry such a wishful husband.
Liu Ruiying said.
"He's good...... It's just that the amount of alcohol is too bad. ”
The proprietress shook her head and said.
But if you find someone who is honest, but you feel that there is no passion and hope for the next few decades.
There are contradictions on both sides, and you can only blame yourself for being too demanding.
"Isn't the boss a good man?"
"Jin Ye is your own brother?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"If it is the brother I recognize, I must live in his house to eat him, drink him, and use him, how can I leave?"
But he pulled Liu Ruiying to the table on the side and sat down.
Because the fat boss's snoring was really too loud......
The two men sat facing each other, but neither could hear each other's words.
But the amount of alcohol is excellent.
Moreover, this is the case with all human beings.
The closer you are, the more unscrupulous you are.
The proprietress said.
Liu Ruiying nodded.
Although the two brothers and sisters are very different in appearance.
What happened is what happened.
I don't want to mention it again in my life.
If others want to ask, they can barely speak.
Once you hate your loved ones, you will have three points more hatred than your enemies.
Liu Ruiying actually wanted to ask about the boss lady and Jin Ye, but she felt a little offended.
Everyone has their own past.
"I don't know what he used to look like, but when I met him, it was good. But something happened unfortunately. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"What's the matter?"
But it was a disappointment to this hard-won good night.
"How's my brother?"
The proprietress asked after drinking in silence for a while.
"His adopted son, Jin Shiyu, is dead. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
Then he told his father and mother everything about the death and the stranger.
The proprietress asked with a blank face.
Although the brother and sister have deep prejudices and estrangements against each other.
But it is undeniable that in the bottom of my heart, I still worry about each other.
"Oh......"
Unexpectedly, after the proprietress heard it, she only responded lightly.
Didn't say much.
It's not that he's kind.
Rather, he wanted to observe the reaction of the proprietress to it.
Sometimes, people's most direct and subtle reactions can reveal a lot of things unconsciously.
It's as if his brother will make her happy when something unpleasant happens.
"Although your brother is quiet, he eats and drinks. But it can be seen that he has deep feelings for his righteous son. ”
Liu Ruiying took out the white towel at that time and put it on the table and said.
So much so that Liu Ruiying wondered if the proprietress knew the son of the Jin Mansion, Jin Shiyu.
"My brother must be very scared. ”
The proprietress suddenly smiled again.
Liu Ruiying said.
But he was tempting, and wanted to ask more about Jin Ye.
"Yes, it's just dead. ”
"An object that has been sitting in front of your eyes for a long time will also make you feel some feelings, and so do people. However, the righteous son and the righteous son are not their own sons after all. ”
The proprietress said.
"Jin Ye doesn't seem to have any heirs. ”
He has been married a total of four times, and these four wives all died of dystocia without exception, one corpse and two lives. ”
The proprietress said.
Liu Ruiying didn't know what to say.
The proprietress said.
"How did you die?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
This probability is much smaller than the probability of becoming the five kings.
"So you see I've been married for so many years, but I'm not pregnant. ”
The proprietress pointed to her stomach and said.
Such a blow is a great deal for a person......
But how can there be such bad luck in the world?
The four wives all died of dystocia, and they all had one corpse and two lives......
The proprietress said as she drank her wine.
"I haven't drunk enough of it!"
Liu Ruiying poured him a glass and said.
"Are you afraid that Jin Ye's matter will repeat itself in you?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"That's right, because I haven't lived long enough. ”
And not because the street is long.
It's because the streets of Zhongdu are too lively.
A dazzling array of goods, as well as a stream of people.
But what can you do without drinking in this lonely mine?
When Liu Ruiying was in Zhongdu, he always felt that time passed quickly.
A long street walked from the east end to the west end, and an hour or two passed.
The sun set an hour and a half later than in Zhongdu.
Another reason is that the northwest is too lonely.
Physically and mentally, as long as one is busy, it will not feel the passage of time.
will let time flow unconsciously.
But after coming to the Northwest this time, he felt that time passed very slowly.
One reason may be because the northwest is long.
In the end, he directly picked up the flask, drank the rest of the wine, and then fell asleep on the table.
Liu Ruiying looked outside the door and then went upstairs.
Since Hua Nong did not come down, it means that everything is fine.
Gradually, the proprietress talked less.
Liu Ruiying knew that she was also about to get drunk.
Before getting drunk, the proprietress raised her glass more and more frequently.
By the clear moonlight, I saw a person lying on my bed.
But it was a little clever who left the Jin Ye Mansion one step ahead of him.
Liu Ruiying hurriedly lit the lamp on the table.
But before he was about to push open his door, he suddenly heard a faint moan.
Although the moaning was not loud, the moaner must have been in great pain.
Liu Ruiying cautiously pushed open the door.
Liu Ruiying asked.
The little ghost had no strength left, and looked at his left shoulder.
Liu Ruiying took the lamp and took a photo.
The blood of the little clever has soaked the whole set of bedding.
Seeing Liu Ruiying come in, he only trembled his eyelids a few times, and spoke in the room.
"What's wrong with you?"
It was a very serious traumatic injury.
At this point, the blood had stopped on its own.
Liu Ruiying tore off a sheet and bandaged him simply.
I saw a deep stab wound on the left shoulder of the little ghost.
This wound shattered his entire left shoulder.
The flesh and blood turned out were mixed with many white broken bones.
He wanted to drink.
Liu Ruiying woke up Hua Nong next door and came to his room to guard the little wit.
He jumped down the stairs and went into the hall to give the little ghost a jug of wine.
The little clever lips squirmed, and although he couldn't make a sound, Liu Ruiying still saw what he was about to say.
Wine.
The little clever asks for wine.
After about a cup of tea, he woke up again and tried to sit up straight.
He still wanted to drink.
It's just that it's too hard to lie down and drink.
When the flask was handed to the little ghost, a smile appeared on his face.
But he didn't drink it.
I just smelled the wine and closed my eyes.
With such luck, the wound burst again in an instant.
Blood gushed out.
Liu Ruiying wanted to step forward to help.
Although his injuries at the moment no longer allow him to change his posture slightly.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered.
He braced himself up on his broken shoulder and sat up.
Liu Ruiying handed him the wine jug, and the little clever immediately took several sips.
The blood on his shoulders was still flowing, and the wine had just been drunk.
After a few sips of strong liquor into his throat, the little clever face regained some blood color slightly.
But I felt a strong rejection.
The little ghost sat up straight, his back against the wall.
Reached out to Liu Ruiying to ask for a wine jug.
He Hua Nong sat at the table and watched the little ghost recover while drinking.
"Do you want more?"
Liu Ruiying saw that the little clever spirit had finished drinking the last sip of wine, and asked.
He knew that Liu Ruiying must have something to ask him.
But at the moment, he was powerless to answer.
Liu Ruiying is not in a hurry.
At least I can speak.
"Where have you been?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Don't ......"
The little ghost shook his head and said.
Although his body is still extremely weak, his spirit has recovered a lot.
With the other hand, he reached out to his lower back and groped.
Then he took out a knife and threw it on the ground.
The blood stains on the knife have not yet fully coagulated.
In his impression, the little ghost had only gone three or four hours before him.
"East of the Jin Ye Mansion, fifty miles. ”
Little Clever said.
He has long understood the little clever body method.
But even with such a swift and light body, he didn't dodge this knife.
Can you imagine how fast the knife was?
And this knife Liu Ruiying is all too familiar......
It's still the disproportionate, unbladed knives that the monster lost.
Liu Ruiying stared at the knife, but she was panicked......
The few people who died under this knife before were all stabbed through the center of the eyebrows without exception.
But the little ghost smashed one shoulder, which can be regarded as picking up a life.
"Why did I kill you?"
"Actually, I've gotten away. ”
The little wit seemed to see through Liu Ruiying's thoughts and spoke.
After Liu Ruiying heard this, she suddenly understood.
"But you've never been hurt. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"Not really...... This is the first time. After my body and martial arts skills were perfected, although there were still countless people who could kill me, none of them could keep me, and none of them could find me and catch up with me. ”
Liu Ruiying asked.
"There are a lot of people who want to kill me...... Because I'm too nosy. A nosy person is popular in some places, but hated in others. ”
Little Clever said with a smile.
Liu Ruiying said.
"No, this time it's because I didn't run. ”
Little Clever said.
Little Clever said.
There was still a lot of confidence in his tone.
"But this time you've been found and overtaken. ”
Little Clever said.
Although Liu Ruiying does not approve of his approach, anyone will have such an idea.
When I drink too much, I want to sleep.
"You're not the most towering person in the world, why don't you run?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"When it is sensational for a long time, it is inevitable that you have to be strong once. ”
Even if you persist in many habits for ten or twenty years, if you want to change them, they will do so overnight.
"So you want to try it for yourself. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
I've slept enough, and I want to drink again.
But there is absolutely no one who can drink all the time, or sleep all the time.
People have to change somewhat.
Liu Ruiying asked.
"I regret that I paid such a big price for being strong once...... So much so that it's so difficult to sit up and have a glass of wine...... It is really an extremely difficult thing for people to live with their backs straight for the rest of their lives......"
Little Clever said.
That's exactly what I thought at first...... But now I regret it. ”
The little ghost shook his head helplessly and said.
"Regret what?"
He felt that the little ghost was so seriously injured that he almost lost his life before he realized such a simple truth, and he thought it was ridiculous.
But the little ghost doesn't think so.
No matter how much you know about the truth, you can't catch up with your own experience.
His words were intermittent.
Every few words you say, stop and catch your breath.
Liu Ruiying suddenly laughed.
However, the little ghost was now shattered on one shoulder.
I want to recover, but I don't know how long I have to wait.
During this period, he came to Liu Ruiying's side, but it was the safest choice.
And at this moment, he has decided that he will not only be the most towering person in the world, but also the person who has the best martial arts skills in the world.
Never be found or caught up with again.
Everyone carries a head on two shoulders.
Little Clever said.
"Is this knife really so evil?"
Liu Ruiying picked up the knife that the little ghost threw on the ground and said.
"Can you see the person who made the knife?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"The moment I was stabbed, I unfolded my body and fled. Once I use my body with all my might, even my own eyes will not be able to keep up. Just think about the farther away the better. ”
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Ashes...... Endless fragments turned into ashes. But there was no wind, it just piled up there. Little by little, it accumulates into a small hill. I stood in the middle of this ashy knoll, struggling to show my neck and chin. ”
Little Clever said.
"If you get stabbed, you can understand. ”
Little Clever said.
"What does it feel like?"
Little Clever said.
The ashes are small though.
But it's still a particle.
"That's enough...... At least your head is still exposed to the ashes and you can breathe well. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"So I can think of what it feels like to have a stab in the center of the eyebrow...... Suffocating in the ashes is definitely much worse than drowning. ”
Water is fluid.
It's pervasive, but it flows from one place to another.
Liu Ruiying has also seen a lot of wonderful knife techniques along the way.
After being inhaled from the mouth and nasal cavity, each small particle of ash will envelop the person tightly from the inside out.
It's as if the spring silkworm spun silk in the body and made a cocoon.
But water doesn't.
Although it is said that after death, people are just turned into loess.
But ash is indeed more extreme than loess.
Loess is unconscious.
Among them, Jing Yao's winter artistic conception is the most outstanding.
But he didn't expect that someone's knife would give people a feeling of ashes.
Ashes represent annihilation.
But that's how it felt to him.
A knife is wiped out, and all are ashes.
Or with such a clumsy knife.
Yet the ashes still have a spirit.
At least the little ghost knew that his left shoulder had been reduced to ashes at the moment.
Even if it still looks like flesh and blood.
Little Clever said.
"Looking back now, I can conclude that this man didn't mean to kill me when he stabbed me. Rather, I just want to give me a warning. ”
The little ghost groaned for a long time, and suddenly said.
So what kind of character is this man who made the knife?
Why is it so haunted around this mine?
"Ashes can also be a warning. ”
The little ghost smiled.
Liu Ruiying also smiled.
The little ghost can suddenly become strong in a moment.
"Warning you to leave?"
Liu Ruiying asked rhetorically.
"Warning me not to meddle. ”
However, Liu Ruiying also received such a warning.
The subordinate who died lying in the coffin was also this person's warning to Liu Ruiying.
However, Liu Ruiying also has her own purpose that must not be changed and abandoned.
But it will never change this nosy problem.
Because that's what he's for.
If a person's purpose can be easily abandoned or changed, then he is no different from ashes.
But they all wanted to see it.
Although the two of them had no words, their hearts were already penetrated by this incident.
Including Jin Ye.
This is his duty as the provincial flag of the Investigation Department and the special investigation envoy in the northwest.
What will be the result of ignoring this warning?
Liu Ruiying and the little ghost didn't know.
This is true for all three of them.
Three people who received a warning.
Three people who will never give up and change their purpose.
It will only strike more magnificent sparks, but they will be more dazzling than the moonlight and blood.
