Chapter Eighty-Four: The Bloody Mask
Wei Qingxiao's head was blank, a little cloudy, and his head was swollen uncomfortably. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
Fortunately, the people standing here are all people in the rivers and lakes, accustomed to seeing these ups and downs, and seeing a lot of impermanence in the world, they have already been able to collapse in front of Mount Tai without changing their colors.
At this point, if there is no answer, it is already the best answer.
Ji Zhuzi smiled: "Compared with the brocade boy, it's a little worse." โ
Hearing this, Ren Xiaodu's eyes sank, and the corners of Ren Ziyu's mouth hooked a smile, and Shen Yuan also raised his head with an indescribable pride on his face.
Wei Qing looked up at the machine with a smile and frowned.
Ji Zhuzi smiled: "It's almost here." โ
Wei Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice." โ
Wei Qingxiao knows what Ji Zhuzi means, the biggest difference between Ye Jinyi and him is that Ye Jinyi can endure it, Ye Jinyi doesn't care how others belittle him, or how he insults himself, and when he hears these words that are not as good as others, he may not return the other party with a smile.
But Wei Qingxiao can't do it, he is a competitive person, and he is also a person who can't accept that he is belittled, such a person can't be forbearing.
If you can't do it now, you won't be able to do it in the future.
Xie seniors for their advice, and only for their seniors, not for learning these lessons.
Some words should be blown away, and he didn't have to pay too much attention to them.
Ren Xiaoju finally spoke: "Jiji, what's wrong with you coming to see this box?"
Ren Xiaodu's words finally brought the content of the conversation back on track, and then Jizizi withdrew his gaze from Wei Qingxiao, and walked towards Ren Xiaodu's desk with an iron crutch.
He stood still at the table and looked at the wooden box for a long time before he looked up and said in surprise, "You called me here to see a broken box?"
Rong Ling said: "It's for you to come and see what's wrong with this box." โ
Everyone didn't dare to touch this wooden box, just worried that there would be some hidden weapon in this box.
The old machine raised his hand and knocked on the wooden box, and muttered, "Questions? โ
Shen Yuan took a step forward and said, "What's the problem?"
The old machine squeezed his eyebrows and said: "The wooden box is old, the wood is loose, the carving is rough, and the iron ring is rusty. In addition to chopping wood, this broken box may only have one role left. โ
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they immediately became nervous.
If there is no problem with the box, then there is a problem with the contents of the box.
What's in the box?
Ren Ziyu said: "What effect?"
Ji Zizi turned his head to look at Ren Ziyu and said with a smile: "Pretend to be ashes." โ
Everyone's faces suddenly became gloomy, and even their hearts sank.
When it comes to ashes, death inevitably comes to mind, and there is only one person who can relate to death today.
Night brocade clothes.
Still no one dared to open the box, because they were afraid that the contents would confirm their suspicions, and they preferred to run away.
Ji Zhuzi looked around, saw everyone's gloomy faces, and suddenly laughed a few times: "As soon as the boy in brocade disappeared, you were all stunned, and the old man was just joking." โ
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, supported his crutches in his armpits, and raised his hand to uncover the wooden box.
The moment the wooden box was opened, his face suddenly became ugly, and his eyes, which were originally cloudy, were even more godless, like a pair of dead people's eyes.
He was right, this was indeed a broken box, the wooden box was old, the wood was loose, the carving was rough, the iron ring was rusty, and there was only one role left except for chopping it off for firewood.
But it is not used to hold ashes, but it contains something more terrible than ashes.
Lying in the box was a mask.
A dark black mask, a bloodstained mask of dark iron.
The blood on the mask had dried up, but the clumps of blood stains and the faint smell of blood still made people feel the terrifying aura of death.
Kikiko's hands were already shaking, and he tried his best to restrain his tremors to caress the mask, a cold metallic mask.
Even though his hands had grown calluses and become rough from years of refining, his fingers felt familiar to the tiny lines carved into the mask.
This mask was refined by his own hands.
This mask was given to Ye Jinyi by himself.
This mask is the dark iron mask worn on the left side of Ye Jinyi's face.
Now, however, the mask has left its owner, and lies bloodstained in this unknown box, carrying a heart-wrenching message.
Something happened to Ye Jinyi.
With tears in his eyes, the old machine took out the mask and handed it to Ren Xiaoju, his face was sad and sad, and his humorous appearance was swept away.
Ren Xiao took the mask with gloomy eyes, but his face was very calm, surprisingly calm, and he just silently raised his sleeve to wipe the blood stains on it.
He rubbed hard and seriously, and his eyes were focused, as if there was only one thing left in his life to do.
The more people who care, the more they will run away, and they will not be able to trace it.
Rong Ling stared incredulously at the mask in Ren Xiaodu's hand, he was obviously the most stable person, but when he saw the mask, he couldn't help but turn his back and punch the pillar on the side.
Ye Jinyi is his apprentice, a teacher for one day, and a father for life, and his love and value for Ye Jinyi is less than half a point less than Ren Xiaodu's father-in-law.
The moment Shen Yuan saw the faint blood stains on the mask, his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees, his head slamming to the ground.
He owes Ye Jinyi too much, Ye Jinyi said that he would pay it back with the loyalty of the rest of his life, but the rest of his life is still there, what about Ye Jinyi, where is Ye Jinyi?
Ren Ziyu had already disappeared, he had already run out, everyone saw it, but no one stopped him.
Everyone is immersed in their own grief, and no one has the ability to care about others in this most vulnerable time.
Only Wei Qingxiao stood in place holding his fan alone, his eyes were bright and bright, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, except for himself.
When something goes wrong with the person a person you care about, he becomes irrational, not only irrational, but also slow to react, not only slow to react, but also stupid.
If a person wants to be indestructible, he must not care about anything in this world, and no one can do this unless he is no longer alone.
And standing here at this moment are all people with flesh and blood.
Suddenly, Wei Qing smiled and said, "Who is the person who sent the mask, and what is his intention?"
No one answered his question, perhaps they didn't hear his question at all.
Wei Qing smiled and said: "If Ye Jinyi is really dead, why do they need to send this mask, do they want us to know that Ye Jinyi is indeed dead." Even if we knew, what was the point? We can't take revenge, we can't do anything. โ
Shen Yuan stood up suddenly, pointed at Wei Qing's smiling nose, and said loudly: "The young owner is dead, you are very happy, don't worry, even if the young owner is here, he will not fight with you for anything, you don't need to speak coldly here." โ
Wei Qing smiled and chuckled: "Cold words, where did you hear my cold words?"
He glanced at the mask in Ren Xiaodu's hand and said in a deep voice, "I just want to tell you that the person who gave this mask is probably just trying to make us believe that Ye Jinyi is dead. โ
Hearing this, Ren Xiaodu's eyes changed slightly, Rong Ling turned around abruptly and said, "You want to say, Ye'er may not be dead, but someone deliberately came to deceive us." โ
Wei Qing smiled: "No." โ
Rong Ling frowned and looked at him puzzled.
Wei Qing stood still with a smile, looked around at the few people standing in the study, and said word by word: "It's not that you may not be dead, but you must not be dead." โ
Ye Jinyi must not be dead, and he will never believe that Ye Jinyi is dead.
He had been worried about Ye Jinyi's safety, but after seeing this mask, his heart suddenly settled down, and he had a hunch that Ye Jinyi was not dead, absolutely not dead.
Wei Qing walked back to Yu Ning's small courtyard with a gloomy expression, he had just entered the door, Yu Ning immediately greeted him, grabbed his arm, and said eagerly: "What's the matter?
Wei Qingxiao looked down at Yu Ning's hand holding his arm, a little stunned, obviously he hadn't gotten used to his current identity, nor had he gotten used to the care from a mother.
Because, in the past, he always thought that such a thing as mother's love was something he didn't deserve. Once, how he envied that Ye Jinyi had so many people caring.
Now, Yu Ning's kindness to himself and his concern for himself have no way for him to face it.
Wei Qing smiled, held Yu Ning's hand, and said softly, "It's nothing." It's cold outside, let's go inside. โ
As he spoke, he helped Yu Ning to walk into the courtyard, with a calm smile on his face, because he knew that Yu Ning's gaze had always fallen on his face.
It was the gaze of a mother looking at a son, and no matter what, he didn't want to let a mother's heart be disappointed.
Even though he is still not sure that he is the son of Ren Xiaoju and Yu Ning.
He also has to go back to the Mei Palace, he has to know what all this is going on, he has to know whose child he is, he has to know whether he is called Wei Qingxiao or Ren Ziqi.
Yu Ning noticed a touch of sadness on his face, but he didn't say it, but smiled lovingly: "I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and fried blood duck, wash your hands and eat." โ
Wei Qing's face stiffened for a moment, and after a while, he smiled: "Okay, I'm just hungry." โ
This meal, Wei Qing smiled and ate without knowing the taste.
His favorite dishes are fish, shrimp, and crab, while dishes like sweet and sour pork ribs and fried blood duck are Ye Jinyi's favorite dishes.
Moreover, it seems that the most unpalatable thing in Ye Jinyi is seafood.
Wei Qingxiao found that no matter what his identity was, he couldn't seem to escape the fate of being a substitute for night brocade clothes.
He didn't get angry, but thought that it would be nice if he was a night brocade.
It's a pity that he isn't, what he wants to do more now is to find Ye Jinyi.
If he finds Ye Jinyi, he may say to Ye Jinyi: "Come back quickly, my mother has made a lot of delicious food waiting for you." โ
Wei Qingxiao suddenly felt that it would be good if he was really a child of the Ren family.
Although he and Ye Jinyi no longer have a blood relationship, they can be called Yu Ningniang together and Ren Xiaodu's father together.
This sounds very happy, Ye Jinyi, we will still be brothers in the future, he thought silently in his heart.
"What are you thinking?"
Yu Ning asked as she neatly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, her head lowered, and the candle flame in the center of the table reflected her pale face with fine lines and silver hair on her sideburns.
Wei Qing smiled and raised his eyes and said, "I want to find Jinyi." โ
Hearing this, Yu Ning's movements paused, and he looked at Wei Qing with complicated eyes, if Wei Qingxiao could see it clearly, Yu Ning's eyes were full of tears.
After a while, Yu Ning raised his hand to wipe away his tears and said, "Okay." But you have to promise your mother, if you can't find the brocade, you must come back. I've lost a child and can't ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Yu Ning didn't finish his words, so he hurriedly walked out with his head down with the dishes down.
When people can't suppress their emotions, they will choose to flee.
Wei Qing lowered his eyes with a smile, looked at the jade bead on his bone fan, and muttered, "Ye Jinyi, if I find you, will you blame me for snatching your things?"
