The hungry ghost, whose tongue had been plucked out, crashed to the ground, splashing a few bits of dust.
"Dead."
Yan Niang took back the silver handkerchief, walked to the scrawny body, kicked him lightly, and then turned back to Cheng Muyou and said, "Official, give me your sword." ” Cheng Muyou walked over and handed her the long sword, and also squatted down next to the corpse of the hungry ghost, his eyebrows slowly frowning, "Madam, what are you going to do?"
” Yan Niang didn't look at him, holding a long sword in her hand to cut open the belly of the hungry ghost's ribs, she put her hand into its belly without any scruples, and said lightly, "Looking for ambergris, since it was devoured by the hungry ghost, it must still be in its stomach."
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, and the movements of her hands stopped, she looked back at Cheng Muyou, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face, "I found it, the ambergris is really still there." ” As she spoke, she pressed her fingers slightly, trying to take the demon grass out of the hungry ghost's belly.
But after pulling it a few times, he found that he couldn't pull it at all, and he looked down in confusion, only to see a dry hand pulling the long roots of ambergris grass and pulling it tightly.
"You're not dead yet?"
Yan Niang's heart tightened, and several long needles had already flown out of her palm, but when the long needles flew out, the hungry ghost's other hand had already stretched out towards her first, and the sharp five fingers were straight into her chest.
"Be careful."
Yan Niang's body was suddenly pushed out, and at the same time, there was a soft cry of pain in her ears, and a burst of blood mist floated in front of her.
She opened her eyes wide in panic and saw that Cheng Muyou was protecting herself with her body, but the hungry ghost's hand had already passed through his shoulder, and his dirty fingers were still writhing with teeth and claws, and they were covered with blood.
That hand was like a piece of red silk cloth, dangling in front of Yan Niang's eyes, she stared at it blankly, stunned, until it threw Cheng Muyou aside, she finally understood what had just happened.
"Kill it."
There was a chill in her voice, and the veil complied, and she covered it from above, rolling the hungry ghost's body into it, grinding it repeatedly, crushing it into a foul-smelling pile of broken bones.
"How are you?"
Yan Niang threw herself to Cheng Muyou's side and let him lean on herself, she knew what he answered, but the bubbling blood bubbles made her unable to tell what Cheng Muyou was talking about.
"Don't panic, I'll take you back to Xin'an, I'll invite all the Langzhong in the city, you'll be fine."
She hurriedly pulled Cheng Muyou up and helped him walk towards the horse, but Cheng Muyou pressed his hand on the back of her hand, and a bleak smile overflowed on his pale face, "No matter how much Lang Zhong is, it's useless, don't bother anymore, madam." ” Hearing this, Yan Niang's heart seemed to be slammed by a hammer, the soles of her feet softened, and her face instantly turned pale, "What's useless?"
You can clearly say that you can move now, why do you say such frustrating words?
In the end, she was angry, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Cheng Muyou, and there seemed to be two clusters of flames in her eyes.
"Fool, where do you want to go, I mean I'm just suffering from skin trauma, it's okay to go back and let someone help me get some medicine, those people in Xin'an City are not as good as me in all their medical skills, what's the use of asking them to come?"
Cheng Muyou grinned, this smile touched the wound, and it hurt him "oops".
"Are you really okay?"
The flames under her eyes were still beating, smearing the already handsome face with a bit of agility.
Cheng Muyou's heart trembled, and he suddenly didn't dare to look at her again, he lowered his eyes, afraid that the unspeakable heart would flow out of his eyes and be discovered by her, "You care about me?"
” Yan Niang's expression froze, she stood for a long time before she tore off a piece of her skirt and wrapped it around Cheng Muyou's wound, then picked up the ambergris grass that fell on the ground, and helped him to walk towards the horse, "Let's go back first, there is so much blood, even if it is a skin injury, it can't be taken lightly." ” The horse struggled towards Sin'an Castle in the cold wind, and if it hadn't been for the constant urging of the people on horseback, it would have stopped and found a shelter to rest.
But now the hostess was unusual, her voice was full of anxiety, and she had to move forward with all her might, and she did not dare to delay at all.
Yan Niang saw that Cheng Muyou's shoulders were soaked with blood, so she hurriedly took off her Pikan shoulders and put them on him, while encouraging him softly, "Hold on for a while, and you will be in the city soon." ” Cheng Muyou nodded weakly, but the eyelids that had been open for encouragement slowly closed, and his head drooped, leaning on Yan Niang's shoulder, motionless.
Yan Niang knew that he had lost a lot of blood, and if he fell asleep in such a cold weather, something would happen to him, so she hurriedly shook him awake, leaned into his ear and said, "Official, I have a few questions for you, you have to answer truthfully, don't lie to me." ” Cheng Muyou raised his eyelids and smiled softly, "You ask, but if I know anything, I will never hide it." ” "Okay, the eldest husband said that it was difficult to chase the horse, so I asked."
She cleared her throat, "You never asked me why I married you?"
Never ask me why I helped your father?
I don't understand, why the hell are you doing this?
” Cheng Muyou was amused by her several "whys", although he knew that she did it deliberately to make himself sober, he still decided not to brush off her kindness, "Madame, do you still have questions?"
I simply asked them all. ” Yan Niang's eyes rolled, the corners of her mouth were raised, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face, "Yes, what I can't figure out the most is that since you like me, why did you push me away that night?"
” This time, Cheng Muyou was completely asked, he covered his mouth and coughed a few times, slowly turned his head to look into Yan Niang's eyes, and the banter in his tone had disappeared without a trace, "I also have a question, if Madame can answer me, I will tell you the answer." ” Yan Niang has always been hard-mouthed, and when she was so provoked by him, of course she would not admit defeat easily, she only smiled, "I won't be as secretive as an official, you ask me to answer." ” Cheng Muyou's gaze still didn't leave her eyes, Yan Niang also stared at him, she was suddenly a little curious, because she found that there were some things in those deep eyes, they had always been there, but the still water was deep, and she hadn't noticed it before.
But now, it seems that they have been suppressed for too long, and it is finally time for them to burst out.
These are some things that she doesn't understand, but she is eager to explore, so she also looks at Cheng Muyou fixedly, and her gaze is in one place.
"Madame approached me step by step, until she married me later, not because of me as a person, but because of my surname, to be exact, because I am Cheng Dexuan's son, right?"
