Chapter 12 The Mysterious Man
When she woke up again, Qiu Yao found herself lying on the cold ground, with a incense case in front of her. On the case, there were some old and new cards, and the red candles at both ends cracked up.
Qiu Yao got up and rubbed the painful back of her head. She found that there was a circle of gauze on her forehead, and there were no obvious scars on her body. It seemed that the so-called family law had not been implemented. With a long period of hunger and being hit by Xie Jin before, the most painful thing for her now is her stomach.
Looking around, Qiu Yao knew that she should be in the ancestral hall in the northeast corner of Xie's backyard, because when she first came, she thought it was a toilet. Later, when she asked scary people, she knew that every time she made a small mistake, she would be taken here to be locked up.
She stood up lightly, looked at a few plates of tributes on the incense case, touched her hungry belly, and sighed faintly.
She respectfully bowed one by one in front of all the cards. After a slight pause in front of Qiu Yao's biological mother's deck, she gently shouted, "Mother, this mother was shouted by Xie Furong, who didn't know where she was going. After shouting, Qiu Yao couldn't help ringing her parents in a different world again. Her nose was sore. She quickly raised her head and took a deep breath and replied. When he turned around and opened the firewood door, two guards came forward to stop him.
"I want to go to the toilet", although it looks like a hut here.
The two jiamen looked at each other, sideways asked Qiu Yao to go out, and then followed Qiu Yao not far away.
Qiu Yao was alone in the dark thatched house, and her thoughts returned to the scene of her college entrance examination. Because she often wandered, she didn't figure out the rules of the exam. When she went to the toilet halfway through the exam, she knew that a teacher followed her. What's more obscene is that she had to open the door and be booed to the teacher... I can't bear to look back... ...
In addition to the thatched house, Qiu Yao saw the two door gods guarding there, and her eyes turned and made up her mind.
"Oh, my head is starting to hurt again~~" Qiu Yao squatted on the ground and hugged her hands with a headache.
"You, go and inform the master, I'll help the young lady back to the room first~" One of them cared for the command and did not see Qiu Yao's face smiling proudly on the ground.
The firewood that had not split in the corner was half the wall high. Qiu Yao was suddenly overjoyed. Seeing that the remaining family was ready to help herself, Qiu Yao immediately stood up, changed into a frightened look, and pointed to the back of the family.
"What's that..." Please refer to various thriller movies for the specific look.
Jia Ding looked behind him warily, "Where is it?"
"There... to the left, and then forward... Qiu Yao retreated to the wall while acting. "You can see it when you take two more steps forward. Yes, that's there..."
"Kka-"
The family turned around when he heard the strange sound, but saw that Qiu Yao had stepped on the pile of firewood and wanted to climb the wall. He exclaimed that he wanted to come forward to catch her, but there was no time. Qiu Yao, who had become a master of climbing the wall, easily climbed over the wall and ran away after landing steadily.
This is the first time for her to walk alone in the vast night of this era. The king of Chu is at Song Yu's house, so she chose to hibernate and run away this time. Her fear of the dark nature makes her run more and more guilty. Turning the corner in front and walk half a miles to the street market. The lights and crowd can more or less relieve her fear.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands stretched out from the corner and accurately caught Qiu Yao running forward.
"Well~~~" Qiu Yao's scream was pressed down by a big hand as soon as she reached her mouth, and her hands were cut behind by the other hand, and she couldn't move at all.
"I'm restless and I'll cut you down now!" The ferocious and low male voice was particularly terrible in the night. Qiu Yao knew that she must not provoke the other party at this time, so she stopped struggling obediently and nodded very sensily. As soon as the man let go of his hands, Qiu Yao consciously took down the turquoise bracelet on her wrist and handed it over.
......
"If you are a robber, that's all I have. If you kill me, this is the only one; if you are a human trafficker, I will make trouble for your owner to return it; if you are a flower picker..."
The man was stunned when he heard this, and finally made a voice in time to let Qiu Yao shut up. "How can there be so much nonsense? I'm a robber!" The big man grabbed the bracelet handed over by Qiu Yao and greedily checked the color of the bracelet with a faint moonlight.
"Ding--" bracelet fell to the ground. Qiu Yao looked at the robber who had just been quite fierce and covered his right hand painfully. Looking back, she saw a tall man in black coming out of the shadow of another part of the wall. As soon as the man raised his hand, the robber knelt on one knee and howled on his mouth. No more.
Only then did Qiu Yao realize that it should be something like stones that hit the robber, so the man in black must be a legendary martial arts master, so she boldly bent down to pick up the bracelet, and then ran to the man in black quickly, thanking him with great gratitude.
Establishing a friendly relationship with a master is one of the guarantees to save your life~~
The man in black spoke a little like Ultraman who defeated the monster, and then walked steadily to the kidnapper. I don't know when there was an extra sword in his hand. Qiu Yao suddenly understood what he was going to do and hurriedly stopped him. "Don't--"
The man in black paused when he heard the words. After hesitating for a few seconds, he put away his sword and turned to Qiu Yao and said, "Miss Xie, my son, please."
Qiu Yao's eyes widened when she heard the words, "You know me."
"Yes, my son wants to see you. Please follow me." The man said please, but the cold tone did not leave room for resolute.
"Who is your son?" Qiu Yao followed him and followed him. On the one hand, she cried bitterly in her heart. There were really no good people in this era... Only then did she come out of the wolf cave and enter the tiger's den~~
"You will know when the girl arrives."
It was still an indifferent tone. Qiu Yao didn't ask any more questions. She only felt that he told him that his brother's so-called prince would never be an ordinary person. Was it the king of Chu who wanted to meet her secretly?
The two walked forward silently one after the other. Qiu Yao saw that the man led her to the street instead of the wilderness, and a stone in her heart landed slightly.
But soon, her heart quickly came to her throat, because the direction the man took her to was the teahouse where the last accident happened!
Won't it be those Qin people who exposed the conspiracy to solve her anger?
Just when Qiu Yao's tension swelled to the extreme, the man walked into the inn opposite the teahouse. On the first floor was a dining guest, but the surroundings were quiet and strange, and Qiu Yao's heart began to feel uneasy again.
The inn is full of light. The man walking in his own is about eight feet long, and his black clothes are more against his awe-inspiring temperament. It is reasonable that no matter where such a man goes, he will be the focus of attention, but everyone's reaction here is too calm. This is too suspicious.
They are in the group.
Qiu Yao's heart was secretly pumped, and followed the man in black to the second floor of the inn. The wooden ladder was knocked on her heart by the sound of footsteps. Just as Qiu Yao was panicked, the people in front of her suddenly stopped.
"Girl, please wait here." After saying that, the man in black hung Qiu Yao at the end of the aisle and walked to the third room at hand. The upstairs was surprisingly quiet. Qiu Yao could almost hear her breathing, and of course, the heartbeat.
At this moment, a burst of bright laughter suddenly came from the room where the man in black entered. The voice should be a young man in his thirties, perhaps the "boy" in the population.
After the laughter, the man in black walked to Qiu Yao again.
"Girl, please."
Qiu Yao came to her senses. Her previous laughter removed many of her worries and clenched her fists. Qiu Yao nod to the man in black and walked to the third room.
