It was dawn, but there was no sun, because it was winter, and it was rare to see the sun in winter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Even if there were, it was difficult to dispel the cold from people.

Xiaocao put on a small padded jacket and came out, and before she could step out of the door, she heard the sound of chopping wood and the rattling of ducks in the courtyard.

When she walked out of the room, she saw that smoke was coming from the chimney, because her grandfather had already cooked the rice soup when she got up.

The person chopping wood outside the kitchen was her grandfather.

Xiaocao's grandfather is very old, his face is full of wrinkles, and his waist is a little tired, but he still looks very strong.

He swung the axe and fell so heavily that the firewood on the stake was split in half.

When he heard Xiaocao come out, he raised his head and shouted, "Xiaocao, go to the kitchen and heat up the nest." ”

With that, he spat in the palm of his hand and rubbed it vigorously, and then swung his axe.

"Click. ”

Another piece of wood was split in half.

"Hey. The grass responded as he put on his jacket, and skillfully braided his hair into a braid, and tied it at the ends with a red worn-out string.

Xiaocao washed his hands, then opened the lid of the pot, put the grate on the pot, took out a few dry and hard nests from the wooden cabinet and put them on the grate, and finally put the lid back on.

After all this was done, Xiaocao fetched a basin of hot water and brought it into the back room.

The inner room was where Xiaocao lived, and there was only a bamboo bed, a simple bed made of benches, and a worn, notched wooden table, on which there were baskets of herbs.

His grandfather didn't live here, but there was a firewood room next to the kitchen, which was full of firewood and herbs picked by their grandfather and grandson, and a bed.

At night, his grandfather lived in the firewood house and looked after the herbs and the ducks they raised.

However, Xiaocao still lives on the bed on the bench.

Just because, at this moment, there is a person lying motionless on the bamboo bed in the room.

There was also a shiny wolf lying next to the bamboo bed, but Xiaocao always thought it was a dog, called it Xiao Hei, and wondered for many years because it couldn't bark.

Xiaocao brought the hot water next to the bamboo bed, took out the hot towel and wrung it out, carefully wiped the cheeks of the person on the bed, and after wiping his face, Xiaocao did not forget to wipe the person's hands clean.

After wiping, Xiaocao subconsciously put his hand on the man's wrist, avoiding the cut marks on the man's wrist, and carefully probing the man's pulse.

The man's pulse was faint and faint, as if a pebble had been thrown into the sea, almost imperceptible.

But if it weren't for the movement of the small stones thrown into the endless sea, the cold temperature of this person like a dead man and the unfelt snort, Xiaocao and her grandfather would have buried this person long ago.

Xiaocao sat on the edge of the bed, glanced at something placed next to the bed, and then looked at the pale face of the person on the bed, tilting her head to think about something.

There was a mask next to the bed, a mask worn on the left side of the face, a dark black iron mask, and a mask with a cold aura.

But the face of the man lying on the bed was delicate and soft, and it was very good-looking, which could not be concealed by the paleness of the man's face at this time.

The man's hair was thick and black, and it was scattered over the pillow like a black brocade.

Xiaocao subconsciously touched her face, her face was not that delicate and gentle, but that simple and healthy, and there were two flushes on her cheeks, which looked like plateau red, but it made her look more energetic.

Xiaocao didn't understand why the person on the bed was wearing a terrifying black mask if he was so good-looking.

She knelt down in front of the bed, looked at the man's face, and said softly, "Sister, wake up quickly." ”

However, no one responded to her, because the man's eyes were still closed, and he couldn't even breathe.

Yes, there was a woman lying on the bed.

Xiaocao and her grandfather had always thought she was a man when they first brought her back, but when Xiaocao wanted to help her wipe herself, they found that this person's chest was wrapped in several layers of thick gauze.

A man doesn't put gauze around his chest, only women do it, and it's a woman dressed as a man.

Xiaocao was very curious about what happened to this girl, why she was pretending to be a man, and why she was buried in the wilderness and tortured like this.

"Little grass. ”

Xiaocao's grandfather called her outside the door, and when she heard it, she hurriedly answered and ran out.

Xiaocao's grandfather was moving the chopped firewood to the kitchen, and when he saw Xiaocao running out, he turned his head sideways and said, "After eating, I will go to the mountains to collect medicine, you go to the street to buy some medicine, the injuries on the girl's hands and feet cannot be cured by our herbs alone." ”

Xiaocao hesitated: "Grandpa, but where did we get the money to get medicine for my sister?"

When her grandfather heard this question, he lowered his head and muttered for a while, then put the firewood in his hand on the ground, took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xiaocao: "You take this as a treat, grab medicine for this girl, but you have to remember that this jade pendant belongs to that girl, you are not allowed to use this money indiscriminately." ”

Xiaocao looked at the jade pendant engraved with two words, nodded but said with an embarrassed face: "But this jade pendant is something that my sister carries with me, if I do, will it ······?"

Xiaocao's grandfather sighed helplessly: "There is no way to do it, no matter how valuable this jade pendant is, can it be more valuable than a human life?"

That piece of jade pendant was originally priceless, if it was treated, it would be able to eat and wear the two of them for several years.

Besides, in these years, life is actually very cheap.

But the two of them don't understand this.

Yes, as soon as she finished eating and sent her grandfather up the mountain, Xiaocao locked the door and rushed to the street with the jade pendant, because she was worried that something would happen to the girl, Xiaocao did not forget to leave Xiaohei in the back room.

It didn't take long for Xiaocao to walk out, and Xiaocao couldn't help but take the jade pendant in his hand and look at it.

This jade pendant was found on the woman's body, it was a white semicircular jade, the whole body was crystal clear, the color was warm, and there were two words engraved on it, and the grass didn't recognize those two words, because she didn't recognize the words.

Xiaocao had never seen such a valuable thing, but she knew that this jade pendant must be very precious.

Because she felt that only precious things were worthy of the sister on the ground.

But because she knew the preciousness of this jade pendant, she was very hesitant and hesitated to take this jade pendant away.

Her grandfather was right, no matter how precious the jade pendant is, no life is important, but what if that sister regards this jade pendant as more important than her own life.

Xiaocao patted her head violently and said to herself: "What are you thinking, if you don't take this jade pendant, my sister will die." ”

Even though she said this, she didn't put the jade pendant back in her arms again, but kept it in her hand.

A man walked up to him, dressed in a peacock blue brocade robe and holding a sword in his hand.

On weekdays, Xiaocao doesn't pay attention to pedestrians on the road, but the man who came over at this time is not quite the same as ordinary people.

His countenance was handsome and cold, but it was overflowing with deep pain and weariness;

His body was straight, like a great tree standing proudly in the sky, as if nothing could knock him down;

In his hand was a sword inlaid with precious stones and jade, and delicately carved with patterns, but with a cold lustre.

Such a man is like a god from heaven and a demon from hell.

Xiaocao was a little stupid, because she had never seen such a handsome man or such a beautiful sword when she was so big, so she stopped, first looked at the sword carefully, and then looked up at the man's face.

The man had apparently noticed her, too, as there were only two of them on the road, and it was hard not to notice.

But with just one glance, the man stopped, his eyes staring at Xiaocao, no, it was the jade pendant in Xiaocao's hand.

Chu Xiu and his subordinates searched separately for a whole night, but there was still no whereabouts of Ye Jinyi, he was very tired, not only the tiredness of his body, but also the tiredness of his soul.

This tiredness almost made his whole body decadent.

He walked down the road with his eyes down, like a wandering spirit.

It's just because his heart is overflowing with despair and pain.

However, he saw a little girl, no, a piece of white jade in the girl's hand.

Seeing that jade pendant made him suddenly sober up, and it also made him refreshed, he seemed to suddenly have infinite energy again, and became as cold and arrogant and sharp as he usually was.

He strode up to Xiaocao's face, frowned and pulled directly at the jade pendant in Xiaocao's hand, regardless of Xiaocao's exclamation due to his sudden movement, just carefully examined the jade pendant.

He saw two words on the jade pendant, Lang Yu.

When he saw these two words, he suddenly burst out laughing, and he smiled very cheerfully, which he had rarely been so happy about.

Seeing that the jade pendant was snatched away by him, Xiaocao hurriedly jumped up and snatched the jade pendant and took a few steps back vigilantly: "You, you······ What are you going to do?"

Chu Xiu hurriedly chased two steps and asked in a cold voice, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Before he could finish his words, Xiaocao ran away in the direction she came.

Looking at Xiaocao's back, the corners of Chu Xiu's mouth were coldly hooked, and he said softly: "Did you run?"

Xiaocao ran back to the house in one breath, as soon as she entered the house, she was panting against the door, Xiaohei heard the movement and ran out of the back room, and when she saw that it was Xiaocao, she rubbed her calf meekly.

Xiaocao took a deep breath, squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head, and kept stroking his chest with his other hand.

"Xiao Hei, scared me to death just now, whew. ”

She exhaled heavily, and then stood up again against the door, her legs now a little weak from the fright.

With some difficulty, she walked into the back room, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, raised the woman's hand, and examined the wound on her wrist, although the wound had been covered with herbs for the past three days, it was still a little suppurated, and it was very cold this day, Xiaocao was very worried that the woman's hands and feet would not be saved.

Xiaocao looked at the woman and said with a crying voice: "Sister, when will you get better?"

Xiao Hei, who was lying on the side, for some reason, suddenly stood up and prick up his ears vigilantly.

Xiaocao was puzzled: "Xiao Hei, what's wrong?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a man landed in the middle of the room like a ghost, his face cold and with some incomprehensible emotion, but it was certain that his gaze was fixed on the man on the bed.

Whoever comes, besides Chu Xiuping, who else will it be?

Chu Xiuyi was originally unsure if Ye Jinyi was here, but now that he saw the person lying on the bed and the Xuantie mask next to the pillow, he didn't have any doubts in his heart.

Because, the person lying on the bed is indeed the night brocade clothes.

Xiaocao was so shocked that she couldn't even speak, she pointed at Chu Xiu and stammered, "Are you ······ Are you ······ Ghost ······"

Chu Xiu said: "It's a person." ”

As he spoke, Chu Xiu walked towards the bamboo bed with an expressionless face, to be precise, towards the night brocade clothes lying on the bamboo bed.

Xiaocao hurriedly jumped up in front of the bamboo bed, looked at Xiao Hei and said loudly: "Xiao Hei, bite him!"

Chu Xiu glanced at the wolf who was trembling in fright, and sneered.

It's a wolf, but if you keep a wolf as a dog, the wolf will be worse than a dog.

Xiaocao saw that Xiao Hei was shrinking aside and didn't dare to come out, so he first scolded in his heart, and then hurriedly picked up the bench on the side to block the front, and pretended to be calm: "I tell you, if you dare to hurt my sister, I will ······"

She didn't finish her words, because she found that Chu Xiuping's face became ugly and gray in an instant.

Chu Xiu stopped and asked dryly, "Sister?"

Xiaocao didn't understand what he meant by asking, so he just stood in front of the bed, not allowing Chu Xiu to get closer, but what he said was: "Don't you just want that jade pendant······?" I'll give it to you, but you have to leave quickly after you take the jade pendant. Hey, do you hear me?"

Chu Xiuyi really didn't seem to hear Xiaocao's words, he just stared at Ye Jinyi's face and walked forward step by step, he walked very slowly and with great difficulty.

Sister?

Is the night brocade dress a woman?

That night's brocade clothes will definitely not be jade.

But if it wasn't for Jade Langji, who would it be?

Chu Xiu didn't dare to think about it anymore, although he already had the answer in his heart.

But he was afraid, afraid that this time it was his extravagant hope again, he was afraid that this time he was full of joy but was poured a basin of cold water by the cruel reality, which made him tremble in the cold.

He was afraid of that feeling, and he didn't want to go through it a second time.

So he frowned and tried to restrain himself, because he was afraid that he would shed tears.

Chu Xiu lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Get out of the way." ”

"I~"

I don't~

But Xiaocao's word "no" didn't come out of nowhere, because Chu Xiu had already fixed her acupoint, and at this time, she could only maintain the posture of holding the bench, unable to move, leaving only a pair of eyes staring at Chu Xiu Fei angrily and worriedly.

Chu Xiu pushed Xiaocao aside, and then slowly sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Ye Jinyi.

This was the first time he had seen a night brocade without a mask.

It was the first time he had completely doubted Ye Jinyi's identity.

Yu Langji and Yu Zhanyan look very similar, but no matter how similar the two people are, there will be differences, for example, there is a small mole in the corner of Yu Langji's left eye, for example, Yu Zhanyan looks more delicate than Yu Langji.

At this moment, if he is not stupid, he can see that there is no mole in the left corner of Ye Jinyi's left eye.

Chu Xiu's hands had already begun to tremble, and he had already begun to reach for the collar of the night brocade clothes.

Xiaocao stood there and watched all this, and tears were about to fall, but she couldn't do anything but try to speak, and whining came out of her throat.

As soon as Chu Xiu took Ye Jinyi's clothes to his shoulder, he stopped, because he saw that there was a deep knife cut near Ye Jinyi's left chest.

The incision is very deep, but the scar is very shallow and narrow, and there is no way to show such a scar from a wound that is not very old.

But Chu Xiu remembered that on the cliff ten years ago, Yu Zhanyan personally stabbed a dagger into her own chest, which was a quenched dagger that would leave a deep and short scar.

Tears were already falling from the corners of Chu Xiu's eyes, and they happened to fall on the scar.

Chu Xiu closed his eyes suddenly, as if he had made a lot of determination, he suddenly opened his eyes again, and directly ripped off Ye Jinyi's clothes.

With this pull, Ye Jinyi's chest was completely exposed in front of him, and with just one glance, he immediately pulled the quilt over Ye Jinyi's body.

Xiaocao didn't make any more noise, not scared, but stunned.

Because she saw that the man in front of her was looking at the girl tenderly, but tears kept sliding down the corners of his eyes, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.
