Chapter 41: The Puppet's Words
Early the next morning, Nian Jiang went out alone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He told the two of them to go to the pharmacy in the city to have a look, and politely declined Bai Jike's request to be a guide.
"And you won't get lost. Nian Jiang smiled and walked out. Yang Che saw him leave, thinking slightly.
In last night's conversation, he had the intention of seeking Nian Jiang's help, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, Nian Jiang had no other requirements except for asking him for a little Bai Jike's blood, and Nian Jiang's judgment of Bai Jike's condition last night was somewhat similar to what the people in Hengren Pavilion said, and he couldn't only pin this hope on Nian Jiang.
Raising his eyes, he saw Bai Jike yawning, he walked over with a smile, and the two brothers grabbed Bai Jike's shoulders and led the person to the backyard.
Speaking of Nian Jiang, after walking some distance, he quickened his pace and walked towards the place where he had seen the girl last night. If he remembered correctly, the girl glanced at him before leaving.
It's daytime, and it's a little overcast, and the view of the houses and streets around here still looks different from the night, probably because of the light.
When Nian Jiang hurried to the alley, he saw the shadow in the alley, which was the woman Bai Jike said last night.
This alley is located between two high gray-white walls, and the light has not yet shone in, and the deeper the alley becomes, the darker it becomes, and now there are few people on the street, and the location is a little remote, and Nianjiang has not seen anyone pass by here all the way. When you look at it this way, it is obvious that you are dressed in white in the dim alley.
He paused, then lifted his legs and walked forward. As soon as the foot was lowered, the figure in front of him moved, and he turned around slowly.
The beautiful woman turned around, two strands of long hair on her cheeks swaying slightly, and her sleeves swayed in the clear breeze. She was born extremely beautiful, with fair skin, delicate facial features, a long white dress covered with a gray veil, and her eyes were indifferent, as if everything around her was invisible, and only when she saw Nian Jiang, her eyes fluctuated a little.
Looking at the beauty that blended into the dim environment, Nian Jiang looked at her with a complicated face, and raised a smile: "Long time no see." ”
"......" The beautiful woman bowed slightly and took a few steps forward.
The sunlight broke through the clouds at some point, scattering a few golden pillars of light. I'm afraid it's going to be clear.
Nian Jiang stopped, looked at the comer, sighed and said, "I know that the only one who can remember me is you, Ah Rong." ”
She heard this, a smile on her lips, and stopped as Kankan walked out of the alley. Only then did Nian Jiang notice that she was holding a long sword in her hand, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "I remember that you didn't use a sword." ”
"The little sister was stubborn and took the sword of the child's friend. Ah Rong raised his sword and handed it to Nian Jiang.
Nian Jiang was stunned for a moment, and did not take the sword: "You said this is ......"
"Yes. She bowed her head slightly, holding her previous position and not moving.
Ah Rong is indeed a puppet of the agency, no matter how realistic it is, he is not a real person. Although she is beautiful, she always gives people a sense of emptiness, and there will be a subtle sense of mechanics between movements. However, this time the feeling was different, Nian Jiang frowned, took the sword, saw that her movement was a little sluggish, and asked, "I remember that you are the most like a real person, what about your master?"
"The master is in the Zhuangzi in the city, and his name is 'Yingren', and he welcomes the son's visit. She bowed slightly, straightened up and turned back to leave. Nian Jiang subconsciously grabbed her hand and asked, "Only you are the most human-like, why did your companion take my friend's sword?"
She glanced back at him, but didn't answer. Nian Jiang let go of his hand abruptly, and Ah Rong turned his head and continued the unfinished action just now. The distance between her steps is exactly the same, and her walking posture is no different from ordinary people, the difference is that she is not like normal people, when walking, her head will be slightly in the direction of looking at the past, or she keeps looking at the world in front of her, she is a puppet, all behaviors are set by the master, Nian Jiang knows this, and he knows that he has no answer to this question when he pulls her and asks this question, but he does it subconsciously.
Looks like there's a chance to go to her master. Nian Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at the long sword in his hand, not knowing what to think.
Seeing that the beautiful woman had disappeared around the corner in front of him, Nian Jiang thought about it, clenched the long sword in his hand and followed. Now that he is in the city, according to his understanding of Ah Rong's master, Nian Jiang believes that he will not let his puppet behave differently in such an occasion, so there is absolutely no problem to follow up now.
He followed, and when he turned the corner, he saw the other party strolling leisurely on the street like an ordinary person walking, and some passers-by were amazed by the other party's appearance, but nothing happened.
The puppet is a magical thing, and the difference in appearance between them can only be described by the word moat, which is either extremely beautiful or extremely ugly. People like Ah Rong who can walk on the street are generally beauties.
Nian Jiang followed for a long time, and suddenly lost the figure of the other party in front of him, he turned around clearly, and sure enough, he saw the other party standing behind him. If it was an ordinary person, he would have been frightened and shouted, but Nian Jiang knew that the other party was a puppet with excellent speed, and he had seen it before, so he just shook his eyebrows and did not react excessively.
"The son doesn't have to follow the slave and maid, if he wants to see the master to 'welcome people' to find him. It said expressionlessly, "The master also misses Childe." ”
“...... Okay, then I'm leaving. Nian Jiang exhaled and said.
"......" Ah Rong blessed him again before leaving.
Looking at her back, Nian Jiang knew that he had to go to meet the so-called 'master' for a while anyway, and it was no longer interesting to follow, so he turned around and walked in the other direction. He came out just to try his luck to see if he could see Ah Rong, and by the way, he went to the pharmacy in the city to have a look, so let's go to the pharmacy quickly.
Maybe he can make some medicine by the way when he goes to see his master, Nian Jiang squinted his eyes and thought about it in his heart.
It was almost noon, and Nian Jiang finally came back with two medicine bags, still holding a long sword in his hand.
"Ah, you're back, why did you go for so long......"
Bai Jike's gaze was first on his face, and then then shifted to the long sword, he jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and pounced on the long sword in Nian Jiang's hand.
"My sword!" Bai Jike exclaimed.
Nian Jiang let go of his hand, the long sword was caught by Bai Jike, he turned the sword around with a puzzled and eager face, and pulled it out and touched a few more.
"It's really my sword," he raised his head and looked at Nian Jiang suspiciously, "Why are you here?"
"......" Nian Jiang was carrying a medicine bag in his hand, he hugged his hand and said, "I was walking outside this morning, and I met the girl from last night, and after she gave me the sword, she said, 'My sister is stubborn, how offended' and left." ”
"Huh?" Bai Jike was stunned for a second, and then the expression on his face became colorful, "I'll just say why their backs are so similar, and they are really a gang!" He looked like he was jumping to his feet, and he led Yang Che down noisily.
Yang Che walked in from the backyard and saw the sword Bai Jike was holding at a glance, he was stunned: "What?"
"On the way, I met the girl from last night, and they threw the sword at me and left. Nian Jiang explained helplessly.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang!" Bai Jike grabbed Nian Jiang excitedly, "Have you asked her where she is from? Where has her sister gone?"
"......" Nian Jiangpi didn't smile, "I asked, but people ignored me and left, I secretly followed and lost people." ”
"Ah......" Bai Jike wailed, closing his eyes fiercely, "I thought I would see her soon......"
"Come on, you don't check the sword when you get it, be careful of what's on it. Yang Che knocked on his head, and Bai Jike sat down at the table when he heard this, pulled out his long sword and observed it carefully. He took the scabbard and slammed it lightly on the table, and then picked it up and looked inside.
Nian Jiang didn't know if they doubted their words, but it didn't matter, in the face of Yang Che's somewhat inquiring gaze, Nian Jiang smiled, raised the medicine bag in his hand and smiled: "There is the medicine I want, and some others, waiting for me to get a pill, you give him a try." ”
Who he is is self-evident.
"Okay, thank you. Yang Che said softly.
Unexpectedly, a loud shout came from the side, and the two were attracted to it, and they saw Bai Jike poking around in the scabbard with a sword.
Bai Jike: "There's really something in there!"
"What?" Nian Jiang raised his eyebrows, what kind of consciousness can the puppets have of their own, this can only be their master has orders.
The two hurriedly leaned over and stood behind Bai Jike, and saw him holding the sword in it for a long time, removing the sword and slamming the scabbard on the table, and sure enough, a small paper ball was knocked out.
Yang Che looked at Nian Jiang in disbelief, and then his eyes were attracted by the paper ball.
Bai Jike unfolded the paper ball, and the white paper and black characters on it were clearly written.
"At noon tomorrow night, five miles outside the city 'Hanmei Ju', there is something to ask for"
The three of them finished reading the note and looked at each other.
"Are you going?" asked Bai Jike for a long time.
"......" Nian Jiang didn't say anything, but said in his heart that he had to go there first tonight.
Yang Che thought for a long time and said, "Go and see where it is sacred." Since he took Er'er's sword and now returned it, he must really have something to ask for, and there is no benefit for a few of us, so I can't think of the other party's intentions. ”
"Okay, go!" Bai Jike clapped, then grabbed his sword and stood up, "I haven't touched it for a long time, I want to practice." ”
"Go ahead. Yang Che turned sideways and got out of the way. Bai Jike grabbed the sword and walked to the backyard, Nian Jiang turned around and saw that Yang Che was still looking at him.
"I'm going to get some medicine. He flipped the medicine bag in his hand, "I also have a general understanding of what you said, and I will do my best to succeed or not." ”
"I'm sorry for you. Yang Che nodded slightly, "If you need help, just tell me." ”
"Good. He took the medicine bag and walked upstairs, leaving Yang Che alone to stop downstairs.
Although he got the note now, Nian Jiang didn't doubt that Yang Che would go outside the city to check now, but he believed that that guy would have the ability to avoid checking, since the appointment was made for tomorrow night, then whoever went before this would not find anything.
