Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mysterious Woman in White

The woman in white took out the chopsticks from the bamboo tube, half-lifted the veil, and ate the noodles.

Zong Zheng kept his head down, only to feel that his neck was a little sore, so he raised his head and glanced at the woman in white unintentionally.

As soon as the woman in white lifted her veil and ate noodles, Zong Zheng inadvertently raised her head to look at her, and the woman in white naturally thought that Zong was peeking at her, and scolded: "Thief boy, what are you looking at?"

After hearing this, Zong Zheng quickly lowered his head again, only grabbed the rice in the bowl vigorously, and secretly thought to himself: "I can't imagine that people outside are so fierce, even the seemingly weak woman is so fierce, it's still a fairy!"

Zong Zheng thought about it, so he ate as much as he could, and he ate too quickly for a while, and accidentally choked on it, and accidentally sprayed the rice into the bowl in front of the woman in white with only one cough.

The white-clothed woman's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help but be very annoyed, picked up the sword on the stage, and pulled out the sword suddenly.

Zong Zheng saw the bright sword, and coughed more and more.

The woman in white couldn't help but raise her sword and put it on Zong Zheng's neck, and scolded,

"Thief boy, you, you, you dare to spray rice into my bowl, are you looking for death!"

Zong Zheng looked at the sharp sword around his neck and barely stopped coughing.

"Aunt, girl, I, I didn't mean to, I really choked!" Zong Zheng explained intermittently,

The woman in white lifted her sword and said, "Do you think that if you say that you didn't mean to, this girl will spare you?"

Zong Zheng saw that the woman in white was aggressive, and he really didn't pay attention to it, so he asked weakly: "Then, what do you want me to do?"

The woman in white thought: "It's really too much to kill this kid for a bowl of noodles, he looks like an honest person, forget it, just let this kid go." Then he said to Zongzheng,

"Hmph! I'm going to have to gouge out your tongue according to my old temper! Today, if you're lucky, I'll let you go, but you have to settle the account for that bowl of noodles!"

Zong Zheng had to say: "Okay, okay, I'll settle the bill." ”

Only then did the woman in white put down her sword, took the sword back into its scabbard and put it on the stage, and shouted loudly to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er ran over.

"Guest, what do you command?"

The woman in white said, "My bowl of noodles, this kid will pay for you." ”

After speaking, he stared at Zong Zheng and motioned for him to hurry up and pay the bill.

Zongzheng didn't know why, his face was dazed, and he was indifferent. Xiao Er looked at Zong Zheng with blank eyes.

The woman in white saw that Zong Zheng was motionless, and the anger that had just been suppressed in her heart hit her chest again, so she asked loudly: "Hey, I said, why are you still stunned? ”

Zong Zheng was immediately stupid when he heard the word silver, and said weakly: "I, I don't have silver." ”

When the woman in white heard this, she said angrily: "You dare to eat and drink here without any money." ”

"I don't have any money. Zong Zheng looked innocent.

The woman in white thought that Zong was playing with her, so she said to Xiao Er,

"Little Er, you search him to see if he has any money. If you find any silver, you are playing with this girl, and when the time comes, I will see that I will cut off one of his arms with a sword. ”

Xiao Er carefully searched Zongzheng's body, and after a careful search, Xiao Er shook his head at the woman in white.

"He really didn't have any money on him. Xiao Er said,

After hearing this, the woman in white knew that Zongzheng was not teasing herself, but she also felt that Zongzheng was hateful, so she wanted to teach him a lesson.

Before the woman in white could do it, she didn't think about it, Xiao Er couldn't hold it anymore, and scolded in her mouth,

"You kid, you dare to come to eat the overlord's meal, see that I don't find someone to kill you. ”

After that, Xiao Er shouted downstairs: "Shopkeeper, there are people here who eat overlord meals." ”

Without waiting for a while, three big men walked upstairs, their footsteps heavy and powerful, and they walked towards Zongzheng with great momentum.

Xiao Er pointed at Zong Zheng in front of the three big men: "It's this kid." ”

After that, a big man led by him grabbed the clothes on Zong Zheng's chest and punched him, knocking Zong Zheng into the eyes.

Then the two big men punched and kicked Zong Zheng, Zong Zheng rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, and after a while, there were some bruises on his face, and suddenly, the two big men lifted Zong Zheng up and wanted to throw Zong Zheng down from the upper floor.

Suddenly, the woman in white shouted: "Stop, I'll settle his account." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of snowflake silver and put it on the stage.

When the three of them saw the silver, they naturally put down Zongzheng, but they did not put it down politely and slowly, but threw it straight on the ground.

Zong Zheng was thrown and cried out in pain, held his waist, slowly got up, and wiped the blood stains on the corners of his mouth with his hands.

The woman in white came to Zong Zheng and said to Zong Zheng: "Seeing that you are carrying a sword on your back, I thought you would do martial arts, but I didn't expect to be so incompetent." The words and tone were very playful and sarcastic.

Zong Zheng replied weakly: "Learning martial arts is not for fighting. ”

After hearing this, the woman in white said disdainfully: "Don't fight and learn martial arts, hum, boy, I settled the account for you just now, how do you want to thank me?"

Zong Zheng held his chest and said, "I didn't let you settle the bill." He said and put on a posture as if someone else was meddling.

After hearing this, the girl in white naturally felt that this kid was extremely angry, and looking at his stinky appearance, she really wanted to beat him again.

Raising his palm and about to make a move, Zong Zheng naturally covered his face with his hand, and the woman in white immediately retracted her palm and thought to herself, "Wouldn't it be cheaper to beat him like this, it's better to torture him well." So he said sharply to Zongzheng,

"Listen, I just settled the account for you, and you must be a slave for me for three days to pay off the debt. ”

Zong Zheng put down his palm and said unconvinced: "You let me be a slave, I will be a slave, what do you think of me?"

The woman in white picked up the sword and pressed it against Zong Zheng's chest.

"Do you listen or not?"

Zong Zheng saw that this woman was so arrogant, although he was angry in his heart, but when he thought about it, he couldn't eat white food, and he could only be soft.

"Okay, listen, let's listen to you!"

Only then did the woman in white put down her sword. Then he commanded the righteous way in the voice of his master,

"Okay, you remember, in the past three days, wherever I go, you will follow, and you will have to do whatever I tell you to do. ”

Zong Zheng glanced at the woman and nodded weakly.

Zong Zheng followed the woman in white to leave the inn and headed northwest.

Along the way, Zong Zheng silently followed behind the woman in white, and couldn't help but think of Xianjie in his heart, looking at the white shadow in front of him, Zong Zheng remembered the days with Xianjie, and suddenly felt that Xianjie was so good. ”

Zong Zheng thought about it, and then he fell behind.

The woman in white saw that Zong Zheng was a hundred and ten meters behind, but she was not worried that Zong Zheng would run away secretly, in fact, she was testing Zong Zheng, if Zong Zheng took the opportunity to escape, there was just a reason to torture him, so he didn't dare to complain, but Zong Zheng had been pondering, how could he have thought about running away.

The woman in white waited for a long time, but still didn't see Zong Zheng escape, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so she shouted at Zong Zheng: "Boy, why are you in a daze? ”

Zong Zheng heard the shout and hurriedly ran over.

"All day long, boy, boy's call, do I have a name?" Zong Zheng was suddenly in a bad mood, so his tone was a little too heavy, obviously exceeding the relationship between master and servant.

The woman in white didn't care about this, but she was really curious about Zongzheng's name, so she stopped and asked, "Then what's your name?"

Zong Zheng was about to answer, when he suddenly thought: "Before her mother died, she confessed in her last letter to burn the letter and change her name, and I must not tell her real name." So he thought of a name to fool the woman in white.

"My surname is Mei, the plum of plum blossoms, the name is used, and the role is used. ”

The woman in white laughed when she heard this.

"It didn't work. ”

Of course Zongzheng knew what she was laughing at.

"Then what's your name?" Zong Zheng asked rhetorically,

The woman in white immediately looked serious.

"Hmph, how can my name be told casually, don't forget, these three days, you are my slave, don't forget your identity, hurry up. With that, he turned around and left.

Zong Zheng felt inexplicably ingenious, he never knew what the relationship between master and servant was, he just felt that it was just a name, he was not convinced, so he followed and said: "The shelf is quite big, if you don't say it, you won't say it." Hey, by the way, why do you keep wearing a cloak, aren't you uncomfortable?"

The woman in white glanced at Zong Zheng and did not answer.

Zong Zheng deliberately provoked: "Oh! I know, I must be too ugly, embarrassed to show my true face." ”

The woman in white was unmoved, but said lightly: "Stinky boy, don't think that the agitation method is useful to me. ”

After hearing this, Zong Zheng thought: "I can't see that this woman is still a little wise." He didn't dwell on it anymore, but hurried silently.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

The two came to an inn to stay, and the shopkeeper led them to a room at the end of the second floor.

The shopkeeper opened the door, and the two of them went in to take a look, and the inside was quite spacious, although it was a little simple, but it was also exquisite.

"What do you think of this room?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Well, that's it. The woman in white was satisfied and agreed.

Then, after speaking, the woman in white pointed to Zong Zheng and said to the shopkeeper,

"Take the person to another room. ”

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma for a while,

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, a group of Mongolians came to the inn tonight, and there is only this one room left in this room!"

The woman in white then asked, "Is there a firewood room or anything like that?"

After hearing this, Zong Zheng secretly glared at the woman in white, and the woman in white had no intention of seeing it, and couldn't help but scold Zong Zheng,

"How are you, as my slave, qualified to sleep in such a good room. ”

Zong Zheng lowered his head helplessly and said no more, anyway, it didn't matter where he lived and slept in his heart.

The shopkeeper replied, "Girl! there really is no firewood room in the inn." ”

The woman in white was a little disappointed, so she replied, "Okay, I know, you go down!"

The shopkeeper left.

Zong Zheng asked, "One room, one bed, how can you sleep?"

The woman in white put down her burden and sword, and said sharply to Zong Zheng,

"Do you need to ask more? I'm in bed. You go out and close the door, and then you are on guard outside. ”

Zong Zheng pointed to his nose and said, "I don't sleep at night, I will go outside the door to show you the door, will you go too far!"

"Don't you know that lonely men and widows can't live in the same room?" asked the woman in white.

Zong Zheng didn't think much about it and naturally continued: "What lonely men and widows can't live in the same room, I've been with immortals since I was a child."

Zong Zheng stopped inexplicably when he said this, and thought of Xian'er again in his heart. I have been in the same room with Xian'er since I was a child, and I lie in the same bed with Xianjie every night, and now I am pierced into my heart by a sentence from the woman in white, and I can't help but feel a lot of feelings, and I don't have some sorrow.

"Okay! I'm going outside. Zong Zheng replied weakly.

The woman in white suddenly became puzzled, and secretly thought to herself: "This kid obviously wanted to say something just now, why did he suddenly stop, and his attitude was so abnormal." ”

Zong Zheng closed the door and leaned against the door, preoccupied.
