Chapter 7: Bai Ling'er
A crescent moon hangs above the treetops, casting a faint silver glow.
In the middle of the night, the lights that should have been extinguished are still on tonight, and in the quiet garden of the past, there was only the sound of the wind blowing, but now there are figures coming and going all around, stopping vigilantly from time to time to look into the depths of darkness.
Mu Chen, who was hiding in the dark corner, the thin light hit his face, outlining the outline more and more clearly, half of his face was hidden in the chaotic darkness, like a mysterious ghost, dangerous, and terrifying, and a strange atmosphere was permeating everywhere.
At this time, Mu Chen had successfully sneaked back to Kuangfu's mansion, and there was not much time for Mu Chen, he had to hurry up, of course he had already thought about it, a good hiding place.
But Kuang Mansion is so huge, and Mu Chen is not very familiar with the terrain of Kuang Mansion, so those who hide in Tibet can't find that hiding place at all.
Mu Chen bit his lower lip, as if he had made up his mind, and flashed directly into the corridor and walked in a big way.
"Can't see me... You can't see me..."Mu Chen put his hands together, buried his head in his mouth, and muttered in a low voice.
After two corridors, no one cared about him, and when Mu Chen's mind was just settled, a gentle voice sounded behind him, and Mu Chen chuckled in his heart.
"Do you have time, big brother?" asked a gentle, neat maid.
Mu Chen hurriedly turned around and buried his head and bowed slightly to the maid, he didn't know what to call her, and he thought of calling this woman his sister as soon as he had an idea.
Think about it...
"This sister, I have other important things to do, and I may not be able to help you for the time being. Mu Chen pretended to be very embarrassed and said.
"Well, if you don't prepare the things that you are going to send out of the city tomorrow, you will delay the master's important business, and it seems that you will have to go back to the board, alas..."
"Wait... This sister, if you're busy, I can help you first. Mu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said embarrassedly.
Mu Chen was overjoyed when he heard that he was sending something out of the city, and he thought about sending something outside at this time, but no matter what it was, it was an opportunity for him to escape from here.
"Great... Thank you, come with me!" said the maid delightfully.
Passing through a few corridors, seeing Mu Chen and the maid was a salute, it seemed that this girl's status in Kuang Mansion should not be low, and after a while, the maid pushed open the door of a room.
"Squeak..."
The sound was particularly obvious in this night, and the maid walked in and beckoned Mu Chen to speed up two steps, then poked her head out to look around, and then felt very relieved, patted the round chest, slowly closed the door softly, and inserted the wooden bolt.
Mu Chen felt weird in his heart, it looked like cheating.
"Mu Gongzi...", a gentle whisper hit Mu Chen's heart like a wild wave.
Mu Chen looked at the maid in surprise, and pretended to be calm and said, "What Mu Gongzi, then what Mu Gongzi, who is Mu Gongzi?" I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"Mu Gongzi, don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions, I want to help you, I want to help you get out of here, there is no one here, this is the third young master's room..."The maid quickly explained softly.
"Wait... Third Young Master's room?" Mu Chen asked softly in surprise after Mu Chen interrupted before the maid could finish speaking.
"Childe, don't worry, this is the third young master's room That's right, I brought you here for a reason, now this place is safer than other places, the bodies of the third young master and the national teacher have been carried to the hall and buried. “
"The other maids are all guarding over there, I am the maid of the third young master's room, and I came to take some of the things of the third young master during his lifetime according to the instructions of the eldest lady. “
"As soon as I saw your back on the road, I recognized that it was you, so I pretended to lure you here, so that you could hide from the wind first..."
"Excuse me, excuse me, why do you want to help me?" Mu Chen asked with a puzzled expression.
"Childe, what I'm saying now, you may not believe it too much, some time ago, I went out to buy something, and I met an old man, and forced me to give me a calculation, I originally refused, but looking at his amiable appearance, I don't know how, I accepted it again. “
"What does this have to do with me..."
"Don't wait for me to speak slowly, he told me that it won't be long before there will be a slightly chubby man surnamed Mu who will be taken back to the mansion by the third young master of your family, as long as you help him leave the border city, you will soon be able to get out of the sea of suffering. “
"How does he know this, what does that old man look like? ”
"That grandfather had white hair and a red face, and after he finished speaking, he gave me a black pill for me to take, and I actually ate the pill as if I was overcontrolled. ”
"And then...."
"But I have been following for two or three days in a row and have not seen any chubby man surnamed Mu, so I just put it as a joke and put it away, so I didn't pay attention to the third young master, whether he brought anyone back. It wasn't until not long ago that you kidnapped the eldest young master, and I came to watch that I remembered this incident. The maid gestured as she spoke.
"What kind of old man, how did he know that I would be brought back by your young master. Mu Chen buried his head and whispered.
"Anyway, he is a very amiable old man, and I don't know how he knows these things. But it's also amazing to think about it, it's all my fault, if I don't forget about this matter, I will take you away before you enter the mansion, and I won't have such a result. The maid said with a sigh.
"I can blame you for that...."
"By the way, Childe, I've been out for a while, and I'm going to hurry up and take things over to avoid outsiders being suspicious. Then he went to pack his things.
"Wait... You can't leave like this!" Mu Chen's face changed, and he stepped forward and grabbed the maid's wrist.
"Don't worry, Childe, I won't betray you, we are all hard-working people, although I am the third young master's maid, the third young master doesn't like women, just use me as a disguise, in fact, I am not as good as a pet ...... ”
The maid said with a sad face, and then pushed away Mu Chen's big hand, and then withdrew her coat to reveal her white neck, and her coat slowly slipped off...
"Why is this...."Mu Chen hurriedly turned his head and waved his hand and asked, although Mu Chen was not a decent gentleman, but the strangeness of this incident also caught him off guard.
"Don't misunderstand, Childe, please look at my back, and you will understand whether what I said is true. The maid turned her head obliquely and said with a flushed face.
Mu Chen turned his head in embarrassment, his figure was very beautiful, and under his white neck, there was a skin as fine as sand, glowing with a faint fluorescence.
But on the pale skin below, there were bulging blood marks across the body, which shocked Mu Chen's heart and couldn't help but feel sour, and the maid slowly got dressed again and was silent.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I blame you, I hope you can forgive me, I'm like a frightened bird now. “
There was silence for a while....
"So... By the way, what is the girl's name, I am presumptuous, I don't know your name now. Mu Chen said ashamedly.
"Childe, don't blame yourself, it's like this for anyone in this situation now, it's a blessing that you didn't kill me right away, you are not a bad person, not those ruthless and unscrupulous people, I think my decision this time should be right, my name is Bai Ling'er." Bai Ling'er looked at Mu Chen and said shyly.
"Bai Ling'er... Ling'er... Then I'll call you Sister Ling'er, then what is your plan now, why don't we escape together! Mu Chen asked sincerely tentatively.
Mu Chen wanted to see how this Bai Ling'er answered, whether he was trustworthy, Mu Chen didn't like to entrust his fate to others, and the initiative still had to be in his own hands in order to live a little longer.
"Childe... I know of a secret passage leading to the outside of the city..."Bai Ling'er replied softly.
"There is such a secret passage, why didn't you escape by yourself before, and you are still beaten here every day?" Mu Chen interrupted and asked suspiciously.
"It's not that I don't want to run away, but what about my family! “
Bai Ling'er sighed and continued.
"Hey... I lost my father when I was young, and my mother took me and my younger brother very hard, begging for a living in this border city, and then was forcibly tied up by the evil slaves of the Kuang family to be a maid, threatening me to destroy the whole family if I dared to escape. “
"Later, I was favored by the eldest lady and became the third young master's maid, this secret passage is also the secret passage that the third young master used to ask me to lead, and those beautiful men entered the house to have fun, so I only knew. ”
Bai Ling'er replied very aggrievedly, the tears in her eyes kept rolling, but she insisted on not letting it fall.
Mu Chen nodded very awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
