Chapter Twenty-Three: Good Sister
Chu Peiyao was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak, she only looked at him in horror and nodded.
The scholar let go of his hand, tilted his head and looked at her scrutinically, and said:
"Haven't you been kidnapped by that vixen, why did she put you back again? Where is she now? Tell me obediently, if you dare to tell a lie, I will ......!"
Speaking of this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his palm wiped on Chu Peiyao's neck, making a killing gesture.
Chu Peiyao was so frightened that her heart thumped: "You...... Who are you, how do you know that I was taken captive by a woman?"
"Hey, now I'm asking you, say it quickly!" the scholar raised his eyebrows and grabbed her collar again.
"Okay, okay, you let go of your hand, I said, I ......" Chu Peiyao said busily.
The scholar let go.
So Chu Peiyao had no choice but to tell him everything that happened.
After hearing this, the scholar touched his chin, his eyes purred, and he thought for a while: "She really has no one else there?
Chu Peiyao said: "Anyway, when we left, there was really no one there. ”
"Maybe she'll come back when you're gone...... But maybe she didn't dare to go back. The scholar muttered to himself for a while, and his face turned to show a kind smile:
"Good sister, you're here alone anyway, it's not safe here, why don't you take me to the vixen's dwelling!"
"This ...... I want to wait for my brother here!" Chu Peiyao refused.
The scholar's face immediately changed, and he glared and said, "Hey, I don't think you know how good I am, don't you want me to twist off your little arms and legs first?"
Chu Peiyao was immediately afraid, and said hesitantly: "But I'm going, if my brother comes back first, how can he find me?"
"You leave a note and tell him to wait for you...... Well, it's very dangerous for you to go back to this inn, and that vixen is not a little trick. It's better to leave a letter to your brother and ask him to meet at the 'Fuyue' restaurant in Aizhou City. ”
Chu Peiyao shook her head and said, "How can that be done? I haven't been there." And it's so far away that my brother may not be able to find it. ”
"What are you worried about all this?" the white-clothed scholar said impatiently, "Anyway, you listen to me, it's right to keep it!"
Chu Peiyao also saw that this inn was really a dangerous place, either the woman in white sneaked in or the scholar sneaked in, but she didn't want to go to Yuzhou so far to find an inn to live in, and in the middle of her thoughts, the scholar suddenly yelled fiercely: "Hey, what are you doing stupidly, I'm doing it for your good!"
Chu Peiyao is a young lady from an official family, she has never been yelled at and treated by others like this since she was a child, and now she is repeatedly scolded by a scholar who is shorter than herself, she can't suppress her anger, and she also said loudly: "What are you always yelling at? It's a big deal, I'll take you to find the woman's residence! Don't worry about other things!"
When the scholar saw her get angry, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise, and let out a "heh!" laugh: "I said that you haven't figured out the situation yet? Are you really not afraid of death?"
As he spoke, he took out a bottle from his arms, looked at Chu Peiyao with a wicked smile and said, "Guess what good thing I have here?"
Of course, Chu Peiyao knew that it must not be a good thing, but she was angry in her heart but didn't dare to attack again, so she just stared at him.
The scholar opened the cap of the bottle, and a huge colorful spider slowly crawled out of the bottle.
"Ahh......h Why do you carry this with you?"
"Hmph!" the scholar smiled evilly and grabbed it in his hand, looked at Chu Peiyao and said, "Let me tell you, this is a poisonous spider, and it is a Gu poison! If you are disobedient, I will let it bite you!"
As he spoke, he brought it to Chu Peiyao.
"Ah!" Chu Peiyao hurriedly covered her eyes and shrank back, "I listen to you!
The scholar smirked before putting the spider in the bottle.
So, Chu Peiyao left a text message to her brother according to what the scholar said.
All the way there, the scholar rode a horse and asked Chu Peiyao to sit behind her. Chu Peiyao was unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't stand his intimidation. Fortunately, although this scholar is very fierce, he is not the womanizer.
When the two approached the white-clothed woman's residence, the scholar took away the menacing appearance just now, got off his horse early, and probed around the courtyard like a thief.
Then he reached for the bottle on his body, took out the flower spider, and played it on one of the spider's tentacles a few times, and put the spider on the ground, and the spider crawled straight to the yard.
After a while, the spider crawled back, and the scholar took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, put it in a bottle, and said to himself, "Is it really that no one is there?"
followed the scholar and took Chu Peiyao to sneak to the side of the courtyard, and he threw stones to ask for directions, imitated the clamor of birds and beasts, and tossed for a long time but still didn't see any movement in the house, so he dared to take Chu Peiyao into the house.
There was no one in the room at this time. The scholar rummaged around in several rooms, but seemed to have found nothing, so he stomped his feet angrily and scolded:
"This dead vixen is really hateful! Don't be caught by me, or I'll have to pull out her fox skin and take her to the streets!"
Chu Peiyao didn't care about his words, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that you saw it with your own eyes when she kidnapped me last time? Why didn't you dare to arrest her at that time, but now you dare to act in a way when people are not there." ”
The scholar said angrily: "What do you mean you don't dare? I was ...... I was in a hurry to get something, and I didn't have the time to clean her up......" But the more I talked, the more I lost my confidence.
Chu Peiyao flattened her mouth and said:
"I think it's just that you have poor skills, you can only attack a weak woman like me...... If it were my brother, I would be able to beat her away in a few moments, and that son......"
The scholar pouted and said, "Hmph! ”
"Don't you believe it?" Chu Peiyao said seriously: "What am I lying to you about?" My brother is not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And ah, he is very handsome, in our Jizhou City, many girls like him!"
The scholar tilted his head to look at her, pouted, and said, "I think you can boast about your brother to the sky!"
"Are you really boasting to me?" Chu Peiyao was unconvinced by his contemptuous appearance, "I might as well show you." As he spoke, he took out a piece of drawing paper from his sleeve pocket and unfolded it:
"Look, this is a new self-portrait that my brother made a few days ago. I saw that the painting was excellent, so I asked for it. ”
The scholar took it in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "He deliberately painted himself so handsome, right?"
"Heh, how could it be?" Chu Peiyao was a little speechless, "Forget it! If you don't believe it, pull it down." Now that it's done, you should let me go!"
The scholar touched his forehead and thought for a while: "You are a girl, and you don't know martial arts, if I let you go alone, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"
Of course, Chu Peiyao was afraid, but now there was no other way, and she couldn't help but frown for a while.
The scholar looked at her and said, "Hey...... I'll just be a good person to the end, I'll have nothing to do, so I'll accompany you to the 'Fuyue' Inn and wait for your brother!"
"Are you a good person to the end?" Chu Peiyao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile with a smile: "I still don't dare to drive my son to continue to be a good person, if my brother sees me with a strange man, I will be taught a lesson." ”
Although Chu Peiyao was afraid to walk alone, this scholar was a strange and moody person, but she didn't want to deal with him anymore.
"What strange man? We've been together for almost a day, how can we still be strangers?" uh......" The scholar patted his head: "By the way, that ...... My surname is Shao, and my single name is a flat character, so you can call me Brother Shao in the future."
Chu Peiyao looked at him and was completely speechless, and secretly marveled in her heart that this person's skin was really not ordinarily thick.
Shao Ping looked at her with a smile and urged: "Okay, okay, let's go!"
Chu Peiyao knew his temperament and didn't dare to offend him too much, so she had to go with him.
The two entered Aizhou City, and Shao Ping took her left and right to enter an inn in a remote street.
Chu Peiyao looked anxious, and couldn't help but scold: "You untrustworthy villain! Didn't you say that you would go to the 'Fuyue Restaurant'? Why did you come here!"
Shao Ping said: "Why are you in a hurry? That Fuyue Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Aizhou, there are many people, I am afraid that there is the eyeliner of the fox spirit there, if you haven't waited for your brother, but let her find you, it will be bad." ”
Chu Peiyao said suspiciously: "She is so capable, can she still find it like this?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate her, although she is injured, she can command many people to die for her. If you hadn't followed me, I wouldn't have been put in a sack by her by now. ”
Chu Peiyao said: "But is it safe here? In that case, why didn't you just leave the address here for my brother at that time?"
Shao Ping spread his hands and said helplessly: "Because I can't remember the name of this inn at that time! I only visited this city once, and I remember the name of Fuyue Restaurant." ”
"You ......" Chu Peiyao was speechless with anger: "But what now? The place we agreed with my brother is Fuyue Restaurant!"
"Oops...... Don't panic, don't panic, I naturally have a way. Shao Ping said:
"You wait for me here, I will go to the restaurant alone the day after tomorrow, if I meet that vixen, I can deal with it alone, and we will be finished with you." If I see your brother, I will bring him here to meet you. ”
"What, why do you want to go the day after tomorrow?" Chu Peiyao said hurriedly.
"Are you stupid? Zhulou Town and this place are far away from Fuyun Mountain, your brother just left Zhulou Town yesterday, and he may not have arrived at Fuyun Mountain now. It will be at least two days before he returns.
In addition, listening to what you said, your brother is a son-in-law who stays at home all the year round, and he must not be used to traveling at night, so I think he may not be able to come back in two days. ”
Chu Peiyao thought about this as soon as she thought about it, and there was no other way at present, so she had to listen to him.
Sure enough, it wasn't until the evening of the day two later that Chu Peiyao sat alone on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, and Shao Ping came back to wake her up.
Chu Peiyao hurriedly asked, "Young Master Shao, have you seen my brother?"
Shao Ping's face was clouded, but he said: "Good sister, I can be regarded as seeing you today, but Brother Chu said that it was very troublesome to take you, so he simply promised you to me and asked me to take you home." ”
"What?" Chu Peiyao couldn't help but be annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? My parents are alive, how can my brother be the master? Besides, my brother will never say such bastard things." ”
"Good sister, why don't you believe me? I'll take you back to my house first, and then let my parents discuss marriage with you. Shao Ping is serious.
"How can this be!" Chu Peiyao was anxious.
