Chapter 27 Lead the way
Chapter 27 Lead the way
"Master Jun, I'm going to cook." The boy quickly threw the knife back, and then spread his hands towards the man, showing that he was harmless.
Seeing his deceitful behavior, the man sneered, noncommittal.
The young man's face froze, and he said anxiously: "I have lived in this bitter cold place since I was a child. I don't know etiquette, and I offended you. Please see me!"
"A place of bitter cold." The man repeated these words, and couldn't help laughing, touching the scar on his face, but it looked a bit strange.
The young man stared at that smile and was a little dazed. The scar was so fierce that it caught people's attention, but this smile made him realize that the face under the scar was actually very beautiful, like the wedding dress his mother wore when she got married. Even though the scar stretched across half of his face, it added an incomplete beauty to this face.
The man looked at him like this, and the corners of his mouth curved even wider. He tapped the table in front of the young man with his fingers, and sighed: "Young man in a bitter cold place, you speak in a different way, even this person is too A set."
Seeing the young man's more dazed expression, he couldn't help but increase the force of knocking on the table, and said helplessly, "Now you have to tie up the horse and serve me some tea. You are a shopkeeper, can't you do business anymore?"
Awakened by the sound of "bang bang", the young man came back to his senses, and immediately went to lead the horse. After tidying up his hands and feet quickly, he poured a pot of tea for the guests from the stove without stopping.
But for some reason, his hands trembled a little, and the hot water splashed onto the back of his hands, which instantly turned red, causing him to gasp, open and close his fingers a few times, and after making sure it didn't affect him, he brought the tea up.
The man glanced at the slightly swollen place on his hand, and suddenly said: "My surname is Ye, and my name is Sha, the Sha of Raksha."
Knowing this person's name, the boy didn't know what to say for a while, "My name is Mu Er, an orphan picked up by the villagers, without a surname. What else do you need?"
Ye Sha: "..."
The name is really apt, it's really dumb and silly.
It's just that the boy in this bitter cold place really doesn't know his name?He is also a person who came out of this place and became famous all over the world. He was a young man in the desert, self-destructed his appearance, entered Huwei's sect, and became his only closed disciple. Perhaps he was regarded by the people here as a model of rising from insignificance, and he reflected on himself every day. up.
"grown ups?"
Ye Cha took a deep look at Mu Er, and couldn't help laughing, he is not a currency, how can he be expected to be recognized by everyone?It's just a little weird.He lowered his eyelashes and took a sip of tea to hide the deep thought in his eyes.
"Can you see who came before me?" He seemed to ask casually.
Mu Er immediately made a bitter face, "My lord, you are still the first customer I opened the door to welcome today. After all, it was raining too hard, and no one came out. Those businesses who went to the frontier fortress were also afraid of the rain." Wet the cargo."
Ye Cha was noncommittal, his eyes fell on the boy's hand again, and he turned to ask: "Are you running this tea shop here alone?"
Mu Er was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Of course, children from poor families have to find work by themselves, otherwise they will starve to death on the street."
That smile is full of pride and satisfaction, vividly portraying a young man with a miserable life experience but a positive attitude.
"Really?" Ye Cha showed that half-smile expression again, which made Mu Er a little flustered, thinking that he had missed something.
I saw the thin lips parted slightly, and said: "Then you are really not skilled enough in this job."
Mu Er had some bad premonitions in his heart, his face was a little pale, but he still forced himself to laugh: "Really? Isn't it frightened by your lord's demeanor?"
"I'm not skilled at work, but I'm good at flattering." Ye Sha put down the bowl in his hand, the tea in the bowl had bottomed out, and the tea leaves sank to the bottom of the bowl.
"Are you really the only one?" He asked again.
"Who else would come to this kind of place to 'catch oil and water' except me?" Mu Er laughed at himself.
It's just three things, even though Ye Cha could hear that it wasn't just his breathing that was hidden here, but the boy's resolute denial showed that the person hidden here was extremely important to him.
It's just that the person who is hiding is the person he is looking for or not.We have to find a way to bring out the hidden people.His eyes fell on Kiji.
Although he doesn't like killing innocent people indiscriminately, it's not impossible to scare them.
Mu Er's forehead shrank from his stare, and he felt chilly all over his body.
At this moment, an old woman ran out from under the stove, before he could figure out what was going on.
The aunt anxiously gestured to Mu Er.
The changing movements of his hands were too fast, making Mu Eryi a little dizzy for a while, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Do it slowly, I can't see clearly if it is too fast!"
The aunt secretly rolled her eyes, but slowed down as he wished.
Understanding the meaning of the sign language, Mu Er immediately frowned, with a worried look in his eyes, and asked worriedly: "Ma'am, he spit out the medicine again?"
At this time, a hand was placed on his shoulder, which was just a gesture, but it made him unable to move.
Then a voice came from behind him: "Huh? Alone?"
The man's breath was chilled by the bleak air, and it was cold on the back of his neck, making him shudder and his scalp numb.
The white sweat on his back was oozing desperately, as if his clothes would be wet in the next moment.
His head was running at high speed, trying to find a way to get through the immediate crisis.
Before he could come up with a Chou Yinmao, Ye Cha's second sentence came again: "Forget it, I don't care, what is she talking about?"
He couldn't understand sign language, Mu Er thought to himself, and then heaved a sigh of relief, saying that should have exposed the fact that he lied to him.
There were several suppressed coughs "cooperating" from under the stove.
Mu Er heaved a sigh of relief, and explained: "My aunt said that my brother's injury worsened, and he vomited out the medicine again. It is estimated that my teahouse will not be able to open today. I have to send my brother to the doctor. So, grown ups……"
Is this driving him away?
Ye Cha looked at those eyes looking at him longingly, and felt that this man was really big-hearted, even if he had good words, he couldn't hide his stupidity from the inside out.
Thinking like this turned the previous impression of him as a deep-minded person to the bottom.
Ye Cha let go of the hand holding his shoulder: "Then you go, I have stayed here for so long, I should go too."
Don't ask any more questions, as for lying to him and changing places, he will do the same.After all, sometimes these "adults" can be more vicious than the robbers outside the Great Wall.
Watching the horse's hoof splashing away with muddy water, Mu Er finally let go of the boulder hanging over his heart until the figure disappeared from sight.
Mu Er lowered his eyes, and the skylight cast a semicircular shadow on the eyelids through the eyelashes, adding a bit of shadow to the face that was more than handsome but not handsome.
It was almost discovered.
"Good acting." A hoarse voice came from behind him, obviously a compliment but without any emotion.
Mu Er looked back, and saw a pale face due to weakness, as graceful as a startled bird, graceful as a dragon swimming, a real beauty.But he was not confused by that face, living outside the Great Wall all year round, living in a den of mixed fish and dragons, let him understand long ago——
The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous and terrifying they are.
That Ye Cha is yes, and so is the person in front of him.
"Thank you." Mu Er cupped his hands expressionlessly, "I don't know what is your purpose for coming here?"
He even did not hesitate to "hold hostage" them and tie them to a boat!
The aunt tugged at his sleeve and stuffed something into his hand. When he looked down, he was almost dazzled, and his breathing became short of breath.
Lingyu!
This thing is much more precious than real gold and silver. The most important thing is that with this piece of spiritual jade, he can embark on the road and have the hope of doing that thing!
"What do you want?" Mu Er suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked a little hastily.
He understands that the value of this piece of spiritual jade is too high, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.This kind of value is more than enough to buy his life, but he still wants to try again, after all, after passing this village, this shop will disappear.
"You have stayed here safe and sound for so many years, so you must know this place very well. I want you to take me to a place." Mo Zheng sat on the table where Ye Sha sat before, and said slowly.
"Where?" Mu Er didn't get dizzy from this kind of pie falling from the sky, but calmed down even more.You must know that there are many dangerous places in the frontier fortress, some of which cannot even be mentioned.
This kind of behavior made Mo Zheng feel more at ease with the guide he had found for him. He took out a piece of spiritual jade and put it on the table, "Don't worry, I just want you to take me to the old place of a sect. That sect a few years ago It has been destroyed, so there should be no danger."
Mu Er looked at the weighted chips without turning his eyes.
Mo Zheng looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "As long as this matter is over, I can give you more of these things."
He brought a lot of these things, and Ah Xuan prepared them for him. As he said, money can turn ghosts around. Most things in this world can be bought with money. If you can’t buy them, it’s just that the benefits are not big enough. .
Mu Er looked at him carefully, then at the Lingyu on the table, went back and forth several times, finally agreed with a sigh.
He is a person who cherishes his life, but some things are destined to be more important than life.
The aunt tugged at his sleeve, with worry in her eyes, as if she was dissuading her, but she was about to make gestures but was pressed down by Mu Er, and she slowly shook her head.
"There are things I have to do."
Not intending to inquire, Mo Zheng squeezed his cuffs tightly and then closed his eyes. He leaned against the window by the table with his face inward, frowning slightly. Against that pale face, he looked weaker and weaker, giving him a sense of frail beauty.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, Mu Er asked: "Were you not afraid that I would confess you?"
Mo Zheng opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyelashes were half drooping, his eyes became deeper and deeper, his answer was only four words: "Shuangmu, for Lin."
Then he stopped, and Ren Muer went to think about it.No matter what turbulent waves these words created in Mu Er's heart, he has already closed his eyes, he is too tired.
