Chapter 177: Seeking Skin from a Tiger (Part 2)
-
"Attendance?"
Song Weichen pretended to hit his waist, "Concubine Mo, you also know that I have worked too hard. I am really helpless about the reality of men and women..."
.
Seeing that she was still avoiding him under the pretense of joking, without any regard for the dangers this might bring, Mo Tingfeng stopped teasing her and turned serious.
"Weiwei, I'm informing you, not asking for your opinion. With your current physical condition, I wouldn't worry even if Gu Yu comes to guard you every night. In short, either you sleep with me, or I I want to sleep with you, you choose one.”
“Tsk, tsk, listen, what are you saying about tigers and wolves?” I can't help but think about that.
"I have an engagement with Cang Yue. Is it okay to sleep with you?"
In fact, this sentence is more like a shield for Song Weichen now. She doesn't want to give Mo Tingfeng unnecessary hope. The pain of gaining and losing forever is far greater than never getting it.
But at the same time, I hope that this illusory 'engagement promise' will give Gu Cangyue the motivation to get back what she lost as soon as possible.
She knew very well that it was actually impossible to deal with any of them. Every day I feel weaker than the day before, and I won't be able to hold on much longer.
.
“It’s impossible for you two!”
Hearing that she also mentioned the "engagement contract", Mo Ting's temper was aggravated, "You said wait until I get rid of the love-killing ban before remarrying, Song Weichen, how dare you!"
"I will never let you. Marry Gu Cangyue, do you understand! He treated you like this in Yushan Yaotai, how dare you think about marrying him! Since you keep saying that the choice is difficult, I will help you choose!" The more he spoke, the more energetic he became. Song Weichen interrupted the spell in time and called him softly.
"Mo Tingfeng."
As expected, he shut up instantly and sighed, with a look of no temper.
"I dreamed of magpies last night."
Song Weichen felt flustered for some reason.
"I'm worried that something bad will happen if I go to the ghost market this time."
Put your head gently on the spot where he stabbed her and listen to the heartbeat. , plop, plop, steady and powerful, and then I felt a little calmer.
"Promise me that you will never set any more injury bans on me this time, nor anything else."
Mo Tingfeng took her in his arms and said, "Be good, what happened last time won't happen again, I promise."
He must capture the magpie alive this time and pull out the thread from her back! .
Ghost market.
Magpie told Lord Jinxian his life story completely, without any concealment.
The reason why she recommended herself to Lord Baihu during such a dangerous expedition was because she discovered traces of the man in black next to Qin Che in Pingyang.
That is the magpie's only nightmare in this life.
His kung fu is unfathomable and it is easy to kill her, but that is not the point - Magpie had two contacts with her in the Qin Mansion in the past. What he did to her when she was young at that time was simply worse than an animal. .
It was also because of the painful and distorted memory that penetrated into her bones. As long as he was around, she would get goosebumps uncontrollably - an unconscious physiological stress response.
The night she faked her death and escaped to enter the Qin Mansion, although he didn't meet her, she knew he was there.
Because that familiar feeling was like being possessed by an evil spirit, she had goose bumps one after another and she couldn't control it at all.
The ghost market had just opened its sealed mountain gate the day before yesterday, and visitors came one after another. She had been bored in the ghost market for a long time, so she drank the disguise water and randomly transformed into a little girl to join in the fun in the open market. When she passed by a man wearing a mask, she felt uncontrollably. Layers upon layers of goosebumps.
She then knew that it was him who came, and his purpose was her.
As Mr. Qin Xiaohou’s puppet in the ghost market, she followed the man who was always with him to Pingyang, but she did not receive any instructions from the Qin government, so she must be the prey.
Thinking about it, it was probably his attempted murder of Sang Pu in Sikong Mansion that caused some trouble and unhappiness for Mr. Qin Xiaohou.
He came to clear the place for him.
.
Fortunately, I had received Ruan Mianmian’s order before and collected all the remaining potions in the seven holes. Later, the plot to frame Sangpu came to light, and those potions “died” before they could be handed over. The side hall of Sikong Mansion actually helped Magpie a lot.
But relying on potions to disguise yourself is not a long-term solution, and magpies looking for Master Jinxian are also helpless.
The second hole is the property of the owner Baihu, which is not a secret in the ghost market.
But the information about the relationship between Bai Hu and An Ge was hidden very deep. If Qin Che had not previously asked Magpie to secretly find out how deep the connection between Bai Hu and An Ge was in the ghost market, he would not have told her. .
This is now the last straw for the magpies.
"Master Jinxian, even if you refuse to save me, you will keep this secret and will never betray Mr. White Tiger."
The more Magpie said this, the more he felt that he was keeping his back. trick.
Master Jinxian was silent for a long time. He didn't notice when his pipe was extinguished. He seemed to be considering something carefully.
Finally, he lit the pipe again and took a deep breath. "Girl, whether to save you or not depends entirely on fate. Just say anything to me and we will test it and we will know." The magpie plopped down and knelt down again. , and kowtowed deeply.
"Old god, please save the magpie! Then I... will say the word 'save'."
Master Jinxian slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Using the word 'save' as a word-splitting method, there is a saying that 'there is no good thing to do against others, ten serious disasters'. 'Qiu' has the same sound as 'prison', girl, this is a desperate fight between trapped animals. , but could not escape the fate of being captured, with no hope of breaking the situation."
"If you look at the word 'rescue' in a pretentious way, you will get the word 'catch'. Although you want to use your strength to escape, you can't escape. Born without hope”
"Girl, this defeat has been decided. I'm sorry that I can't do anything."
.
The magpie knelt on the ground, fearful and hateful, and its whole body was like sieve chaff. "Old god, you are giving me this in advance." The magpie is on the verge of death!”
It’s not like she hasn’t thought about escaping from the ghost market, but then she realizes that Pingyang is even more dangerous. Not only is it difficult to hide her traces, but the pursuer doesn’t have to use any tricks. Killing her is like picking something out of a bag. .
Magpie quietly touched the inner pocket of her clothes, and there was a bottle of Ecstasy hidden there. She secretly thought that if the soft one was not enough, then she would use the hard one. First, she would knock out Master Jinxian, and then drink him the puppet potion. For his own driving - just like he did to Qingyun last time.
Before he touched the medicine bottle, Master Jinxian spoke.
"The girl knelt down and entered the Kan hexagram position. She was dressed in black and aggravated the yin energy of Kan water. She was plotting to fall and pretending to surrender. Could it be that she wanted to take the opportunity to take action against me? I advised the girl to give up as soon as possible. In addition, you What I look like at this moment is the image of "Fuyin", which means that whatever you do to me will be returned to you twice as much."
Hearing this, Magpie dared not move again, and she was filled with despair. But there is nothing I can do, I met an expert today.
It seems that Lord Jinxian does have two brushes. Coupled with the information he indirectly obtained from the secret grid, this "Luoyang Jinkou" is naturally capable of stirring up trouble!
.
The wind and clouds are changing and the clouds are treacherous, just like the case of the ghost husband is unpredictable.
Mo Tingfeng and Song Weichen boarded the soul boat in such weather.
Originally, when we set off from Sichen Mansion, it was still a "sky with clouds, rain and snow atmosphere" situation. Fortunately, after arriving at the boundary of Danxia Town, the clouds became lighter and lighter. In addition, the place is surrounded by mountains. There are many pines and cypresses, and they are full of greenery, which shows that spring is approaching.
They disguised themselves as a young couple again and arrived at Danxia Town.
The town is located on the slope of a sloping wall, surrounded by green mountains. In order not to attract attention, the two parked their soul boat in a hidden forest outside the village. To reach their destination, they need to walk half a column. Fragrant time.
"Can I carry you on my back?" He was afraid that she would be tired.
Song Weichen came to Danxia Town for the first time. Everything was new, so she didn’t want it.
Had Mo Tingfeng not dragged her away and disappeared, in fact, as long as the mark of the past life did not cause trouble, Song Weichen's temperament was more than just chasing cats and dogs. In this situation, she would have liked to go chasing wild animals in the woods. rabbit.
The two of them strolled leisurely, following the information provided by the network controlled by Ye Wujiu, and went straight to the door of the house next to Huang Zhenyun's old house.
.
The old woman was sitting in the yard peeling dried corn cobs. Although she was very old, she was still in good spirits. When Song Weichen saw her, he sweetly called her mother-in-law.
She claimed to be the great-granddaughter of Huang Zhenyun. She said that her great-grandmother was confused now and always talked about her life in Danxia Town, so she came here with her husband and wanted to bring some local tokens back to her great-grandmother. While thinking about it, I also took a look at my former residence.
Mo Tingfeng placed the snacks and souvenirs he brought on the wooden table next to the old man, "Old man, I'm sorry to bother you. We came at an unfortunate time. No one is home at the old house. Look, your place is open. I want to come in and ask for a cup of tea. I don’t know if it’s appropriate.” There was no reason to be unhappy when someone was chatting with her, so she hurriedly set a table for the two of them and made crude tea.
Song Weichen and Mo Tingfeng looked at each other and began to test.
"Mother-in-law, my great-grandmother likes acacia trees very much. She said she planted a big one in the yard at that time. I want to take two back to her to relieve her homesickness. Do you know where the tree is? I didn't see it at the door of the old house. But it has been cut down?”
The old woman looked puzzled, “Little girl, no one has planted acacias in Danxia Town since I can remember.” She pointed to the two trees in her yard. We all plant persimmon trees here, and good things come in pairs.”
“Oh, my grandma is too old and is confused. Maybe she planted them at home, maybe somewhere nearby, do you know?” br>
The old man still shook his head. Although there were many varieties of woods around, there happened to be no acacia trees - there were acacia trees, but they were a completely different anther, also called lantana.
“But your great-grandmother really likes all kinds of plants and flowers, and she always finds some weird ones to make medicine. I was still young at the time, and I especially liked to follow her up the mountain to dig herbs. I agree with that. She taught me how to distinguish herbs from herbs.”
Mo Tingfeng stood up and poured a cup of tea for the old woman, "Mother-in-law, please tell me a story about you and your great-grandmother."
.
Not many young people today like to hear it. When the old man talked about the past, he was willing to listen to the old woman's natural joy and praised Mo Tingfeng for being sentimental and nostalgic.
"Your great-grandmother is different from us, she has a bit of fairy spirit."
The old lady looked at the mountains outside the hospital, her eyes gradually blurred, as if she had returned to decades ago——
Sister Yun suddenly came to Danxia Town one night after the fall. She was young and beautiful, and it was not convenient to take her in because there were men at home. My father and brother were both at war, so Sister Yun stayed at home temporarily.
She said she came to Danxia Town to find a husband, because he was drafted and went to Pingyang in the south - but it was thousands of miles away from Danxia Town, why did she come here to look for him? Although I was young at the time, I could hear a lot of unreasonableness in this, and because I was curious, I thought about it and chased her to ask.
At first she just laughed and didn’t answer seriously. Later, when she got acquainted with her and was asked anxiously by me, she said that according to the wind and water, she had to come to Danxia Town to “anchor” her husband, that is, come here. Identify him here, otherwise he won't be found even if he goes to the southern border.
"I haven't heard my grandma say this. Why can't I find him even if I go to Pingyang without coming to Danxia Town?" Song Weichen couldn't help but be curious.
The old woman looked away from a distance, put down the dry corn cob she was still holding in her hand, wiped her hands carefully, and looked at Song Weichen thoughtfully.
"Because Sister Yun's husband... was borrowed his life."
