"Miss Jing......"
"My lord," this is the second time she interrupted Cheng Muyou's words tonight, "Yu'er admires adults from the bottom of my heart, from the first time I saw you, I knew that my lord would be a good official, and I would definitely be able to ensure the safety of the people on this side," her voice suddenly choked, "If it's not too late, Yu'er also hopes to stay by your side, even if it's a concubine." ” Cheng Muyou didn't know how to react for a while, he had never been so bluntly confessed by a woman, he couldn't help but be a little flustered, he looked at his feet, "Miss's daughter, you can't belittle yourself like this, how can Cheng Mou make Miss look so high." ” Miss Jing suddenly laughed, "Master Cheng doesn't need to panic, although I admire adults, I won't do what is difficult for a strong man, but the moonlight is very good tonight, which makes me a little embarrassed," she looked at the peach forest in front of her, and suddenly ran in with light steps, stood under a peach tree and asked softly: "Do you know Cui Yinggong's poems?"
Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face are red, and the human face does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. ” "It's a pity that the peach blossoms have fallen, and I really have nowhere to find the spring for a long time."
Cheng Muyou continued her words.
"Why do adults bother to say these disappointing words, people have peach blossoms, people go to empty buildings, it is the common situation of the world, if they have ever met, why should they care if they can stay together."
Cheng Muyou couldn't help but wonder when he heard what she said, he stepped forward, "Miss, but what do you have to tell Cheng?"
” Miss Jing smiled, "Didn't I complain enough to the adults tonight?"
After speaking, she looked at Cheng Muyou fixedly, as if she wanted to remember his every charm and every action in her heart.
Finally, after finding that the person opposite had been stared at by herself, she smiled again, "My lord, thank you for accompanying Yu'er for such a journey, Yu'er is worthy of this life."
After speaking, she bowed deeply and turned her head towards the inner hall.
"Worthy of this life?"
Cheng Muyou's heart was coldly touched by these four words, he raised his arm to stop her, hesitated for a long time, and finally put it down.
The moonlight coldly shrouded Miss Jing's back, making her look like a mirror image in the real world, hazy, ethereal, and empty.
"Mademoiselle is back."
Seeing Jing Chenyu walking into the house, the little maid in the room hurriedly greeted her, "The young master has sent people here several times, saying that he wants you to hurry over." ” Jing Chenyu walked to the table and sat down, "I know, you go out first, it's getting late now, I'll go over tomorrow morning." ” The little maid retreated, Jing Chenyu saw that she closed the door, so she stood up and walked slowly to the cabinet, took out a jade bracelet inside and stuck it to her chest, choked and said: "Mother, you want me to leave here before you die, but although the world is big, there is no place for my daughter." ” It turned out that Cheng Muyou was so smart, and when he saw Miss Jing walking out with a burden on her back in the middle of the night, she was already suspicious in her heart, and she wouldn't believe the reason she made up in a panic, because the burden was heavy, how could it be as simple as a little broken silver.
Moreover, judging from his reaction, he should have known about Fuyuka's disappearance.
Of course, all this was also taken into account by the exquisite Jing Chenyu, but after she panicked, she suddenly calmed down, because when facing this man who had already been deeply rooted in her love, her heart was completely disillusioned for a moment, she knew that she would never have any more intersections with him in this life, even if the matter was not exposed, it was completely impossible.
"He's going to hate me to death, mother, he's going to hate me."
Jing Chenyu smiled sadly, "I didn't remember until today, why do I always think that girl is familiar, it turns out that on the day she first saw the city gate, she rode behind him, and he came here to find her." ” Jing Chenyu slowly put the jade bracelet on his wrist, looked out the window with his eyes, and slowly smiled with relief on his face: It's good, when the morning star rises, everything can be over.
When the sky was faintly bright, the tranquility of Yuquan Town was broken by a piercing scream, and hearing this scream, Cheng Muyou and the Shi brothers put on their clothes and rushed to the edge of Quanhu Lake, where the sound came from.
The first rays of the morning sun were hanging obliquely on the surface of the lake, reflecting the two dozen or so corpses floating on it, all of them were women in middle clothes, their hair unkempt, their eyes turned up, helplessly looking at the sunlight that had not been seen for many years, like dead fish with white bellies.
Each of them had a black snake on his forehead, the body of which was thick and full of patterns, and the head of the snake was raised viciously upwards, spitting out long letters.
What's even stranger is that these women have huge stones strapped to their hands and feet, but now the stones are floating with the waves, as if they have no weight.
The body was found by a peasant woman living by the lake, she did not sleep all night because of last night's bloodbath, so she came to the lake early in the morning to wash clothes, but as soon as she squatted down, she heard a strange sound of "poof" at the bottom of the lake, and then, the lake surface was like boiling water, gurgling and began to bubble, and then, these corpses came out of the water one after another, with their chest and abdomen facing up, and their stomachs were swollen like a big bulge.
There were more and more onlookers, but everyone didn't dare to get too close to the lake, but gathered behind Cheng Muyou and the three of them in groups, talking in a whisper.
"I can still float with a few stones tied, and it looks like I died unjustly."
"Do you recognize it, the one hanging on the water and grass, but the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, her mother-in-law was still scolding her yesterday for saying goodbye, who knows if she died in this lake."
"Is the one in the middle Jiyao?
Oh, now Wang Zhiyu, a fool, should die. ” "Isn't it?"
Their words reminded Cheng Muyou, he turned around from the shock and glanced at Shi Jin beside him, "Go and notify your relatives to identify the body, and call Wang Zhiyu over too." ” "Yes, sir."
Shi Jin clenched his fists and turned his head to leave, but at this moment, the sound of "cooing" suddenly sounded at the bottom of the lake, and then, a string of bubbles slowly rose out of the water.
"Is there anyone else?"
I don't know who said that.
Hearing this, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and they retreated like a tide.
Cheng Muyou walked in the opposite direction, he rushed to the lake with a brisk step, and leaned in the direction of the bubbles by holding on to a big tree on the shore.
The water churned a few times, and then lifted up a corpse that was emaciated, dressed in a rag shirt full of patches, and whose eyes were tightly closed, up and down in the shaking water.
"My lord, isn't this Wang Zhiyu?"
Shi Jin called out behind Cheng Muyou.
