Bastards

In summer, the sun is blazing and bright, and through the windows, it leaves crystal-like transparent and bright marks. Against the gorgeous and elegantly furnished rooms, there is a special kind of tranquility.Even if there are bursts of cicadas outside, one after another, it will not make people feel upset.

This sudden knock on the door... really makes people uncomfortable.

Even the cool breeze from the window failed to soothe Cui Mata's mood.

"Tu Tuk... Tuk Tuk..."

The knocking on the door didn't stop for a moment, didn't get more anxious, and didn't give up because no one answered, it kept the same frequency and the same volume.

It's even more annoying.

Cui Mata sighed lightly: "Even if I have already been captured, why pretend to be so polite?"

There was a moment of silence outside before the rattling sound of the iron chain being unlocked.

Sure enough, he was locked up.

With his hands behind his back, Cui Yu stood upright, ready for battle.

The iron chain was opened, the door was pushed open, and a girl came in.

This girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, because it is a summer shirt, the dress is extremely thin, the curve of the girl's figure cannot be concealed, she is extremely graceful and graceful.She was holding a red tray in her hand, and on it was a delicate porcelain bowl with pastel painted flowers, the size of her hand, the sweet smell of the soup radiated from it, and the taste was very tempting.

"My lord, the heat in the afternoon is the most unbearable. This is a sweet soup cooked by my maidservants. It quenches the heat and thirst, and stimulates the appetite. It's just right for you to eat. My lord, come and try it?" Not with a black face, but with a resisting look, Gu Zi put the tray on the table, picked up the bowl with plain hands, put it in front of Cui Yu, and looked at him expectantly.

When the distance got closer, Cui Yu found that the little girl was also very good-looking, with almond eyes and cherry lips, good eyebrows, and a very sweet smile, with dimples on the left and right cheeks, very delicate.

Cui Yan looked at her indifferently, but did not speak.

The little girl pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, but she didn't back down, she still smiled: "Master, don't you like sweets? So what kind of taste does you have, you can tell me clearly, I am very good at cooking, and I guarantee that I can make sweets that you like. eat!"

Still enthusiastic.

Cui Mata remained unmoved.

The little girl was stunned, as if thinking of something: "Master, are you worried about poison?" She picked up the small silver spoon and was about to try it, "I'll eat it for you!"

Cui Yan closed his eyes slightly: "If you really try it, I won't eat it."

The little girl paused, her eyes widened: "Do you think I'm dirty, sir?"

Cui Yu didn't speak, took the bowl from her hand, and ate the sweet soup mouthful.

Will wake up, although there is nothing uncomfortable on his body, but he is a little hungry. Nuan Nuan Tian Tang is very suitable, he will not be troubled by food.

Seeing him ignoring others, the little girl felt aggrieved and stood aside to watch him eat.

While eating, Cui Yu looked at the little girl vaguely out of the corner of his eye.

This little girl has a sweet appearance, looks very well-behaved, has no scheming, and is cute and cute in her nature. No matter a man or a woman, seeing such a little girl will not feel disgusted...

The person who kidnapped him seems to be very good at attacking people's hearts.

Unfortunately, I am not an idiot.

He wouldn't care about a little girl who didn't know much about the inside story, but this didn't prevent him from getting some information from the little girl.

Since someone dared to send her here, she shouldn't be afraid that he would know too much...

After Cui Yu finished eating, he put the bowl on the table lightly, took out a handkerchief and stamped on the corner of his mouth: "The taste is not bad."

"Really? Then I'll make it for you later!"

The little girl stared at Cui Yu intently, her face gradually turned red, the young master looks really good-looking, he also moves beautifully after eating, and even wipes his mouth after eating, much better than those sloppy guys outside!

She looked at it and forgot to put away the bowl.

"What's your name?"

The little girl responded, and then pointed to her nose: "You...ask me my name?"

Cui Mata lowered his jaw and smiled lightly.

The little girl twisted her hands and lowered her head slightly: "My name is Huang Ying, and my mother calls me Yingying."

"Yellow Orioles."

"Yeah." Huang Ying twisted her hands again, feeling that her name sounded nice when the young master called it. She didn't want to complain that her mother gave her a bird name, and the bird name was not bad at all!

Cui Yan's eyebrows were slightly drawn back, and the black color in the eyes was hidden under the slender eyelids, and his voice was light, but still very pleasant: "My mouth is very light, I don't want to eat sweet soup anymore, I want to eat whitebait."

Plumbait is a special product in the east of the Weishui River. It can only be caught near the Gaoxia.

"Plum silver fish..." Huang Yingliu frowned slightly, as if she was a little distressed, but after a while, her eyebrows relaxed again, "Okay, but this fish is hard to find, you may not be able to eat it today."

If he asks for such a precious fish, he can have it, but it will take longer... This not only shows how much his captors value him, but also shows that this place... is not far from the Weishui River, or it is just in the Weishui River. above.

The Wei River is very long, originating from Longxi in the northwest, passing through Chang'an, running through the entire canal, joining the Yellow River in Hedong County, passing through Rongji River in Luoyang, and finally passing through Pingyuan County into the sea.The Wei River that people often talk about refers to the section from Chang'an to Luoyang.

So he should be somewhere between Chang'an and Luoyang now.

Cui Yu tapped his knees with his slender fingertips: "It's very uncomfortable to only eat meat in summer, is there any fresh fruit?"

"There are some!" Huang Ying said quickly, "What do you like to eat, I'll go and bring it with you!"

Cui Yu looked at Huang Ying, and suddenly smiled brightly: "Honeydew, do you have any?"

Huang Ying blushed again, and looked away: "Mimi...cough cough," she coughed, trying to make her voice normal, "I don't have honeydew melons now, but I will buy them for you right now. .”

Honeydew melons are produced in the Northwest, and they are a little expensive. Ordinary people can't afford them, but it's not impossible for wealthy government households to buy them.But this is on the water, it is difficult to buy things...

So this should be the dock, not too far from the market.His captors were rich and well connected.

"Is there any tea?" Cui Yu smacked his lips lightly, "I always feel dry mouth."

"Young master just woke up, dry mouth is normal, it's okay, just drink more water." Huang Ying briskly turned around and poured tea for Cui Yu, her goose-yellow skirt bloomed like a flower, leaving a beautiful afterimage, "New Lu'an Guapian, I don’t know if it suits you.”

Cui Yu's eyes flickered, and the corners of his eyes drooped, and he took the tea handed by the little girl.

After taking a few sips, he sighed again: "Sitting withered is a bit boring."

Huang Ying immediately interjected: "What do you like to play, young master? Calligraphy, painting, chess, dice, and Shuanglu are all here. If not, I will help you buy it right away!"

"What if I—— want money?"

Huang Ying was stunned, as if a little surprised: "Master likes to play with gold and silver? It's not impossible, I can bring some boxes for you..." She frowned and raised her eyes, "But it's so dirty, I don't know how to handle it. How many hands are there, how about I play with some pearl jade for you to appreciate?"

Cui Yu smiled: "I was joking, but you actually took it seriously."

Huang Ying patted her chest, her almond eyes widened: "I said, so the young master is scaring me."

"Oh." Cui Yu sighed long, with a gloomy look on his face, "Who told me to be imprisoned, I'm in a bad mood."

Huang Ying looked at him carefully, her voice was a little low: "This... I can't control it, you can't go out."

"It's just that you can't go out, what else can you do?"

Huang Ying bit her lower lip and looked at him timidly: "About... so."

"Then what if—I'm very upset and want to kill you?"

Cui Yu's slender eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a cold light in the bottom of the eyes. No matter the expression or the voice, they were full of seriousness, which made people unbelievable.

Huang Ying knelt down with a "plop", her head touching the ground, terrified: "I beg your master to spare your life! Where is your slave serving badly, you can tell me what you want, and your servant will change. If you are not happy, you can beat and punish your servant to vent your anger." , I just beg you not to take the lives of slaves!"

This means... that if you want to kill yourself, you are actually allowed?

Cui Mata was thoughtful.

He didn't seem to be in captivity, but he seemed to be a guest somewhere, and he was treated as a distinguished guest. As long as he didn't leave, he could do whatever he wanted.

He personally helped Huang Ying up, his eyes were soothed, and there was a smile on his lips: "Why should I kill you? You are so cute, who would give up."

"My lord won't kill me?" Huang Ying's eyes were full of tears.

"Didn't you say it? I can't bear it."

Huang Ying blushed blushingly: "I, I... I'm not that kind... If the young master wants, if you want, I can invite a sister over..."

"Huh?" Cui Mata didn't understand.

Huang Ying bit her lip and looked embarrassed: "Could it be that the young master wants... little brother?"

Cui Yu understood now, and his face froze: "No, yes, I don't need it."

Even the beauty can provide entertainment, it seems that he is really regarded as a distinguished guest!

With a sudden thought, Cui Yu suddenly understood why the supernatural ability didn't remind him of the danger, because all this was not dangerous, and no one else wanted to kill him at all!

If you don't want to kill, you just want to, even if you want to use it.

"Your master, what do you want to ask me for?"

Suddenly, Cui Yu asked in a cold voice.

Huang Ying panicked, subconsciously took two steps back, her heel hit the corner of the table, her little face wrinkled into a ball due to the pain.But she quickly calmed down, tilted her head with a smile on her face, and asked Cui Yu playfully, "What do you mean, my lord? I don't understand it."

Although she reacted quickly, Cui Yu understood her panic at that moment, and her face was full of surprise of "how would you know".

Cui Yu didn't speak, Huang Ying was even more flustered, pinching the corner of her clothes and laughing coquettishly: "Why did you suddenly ask such a question..."

Cui Mata smiled.Of course, you have to ask questions suddenly, if you are given some hints, how can you be so authentic and sincere?

"Where is your master now?"

Huang Ying lowered her head deeply: "I don't know..."

"When will he come to see me?"

"Slaves...don't know."

Cui Yu also understood that this little girl must have been strongly warned, and it was impossible to get too much information on the surface, so she stopped asking.

He walked to the window, looked at the mighty river outside, and sighed slightly.

This place for people is wonderful, like an exquisite lair, with air, you can see it, and you can see the scenery, but it is not easy to contact the outside world.The surface of the water was huge, even if he wanted to throw some marks, it would be washed away quickly.Besides, Yang Xuan may not have chased him nearby.

Cui Yan closed his eyes slightly, feeling his own good luck and the bad luck in the direction.

East, west, north, south, there is no good feedback in any direction, and he probably can't take advantage of the loopholes to escape in a short time.But life is safe.

He felt Yang Xuan again.

No ill feeling.Although I don't know where this brat is and what he's doing, but he'll be fine, that's enough...

After thinking for a long time, Cui Yu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he decided to take the initiative.

The slender white fingertips tapped the window frame twice, and Cui Yu turned to talk to Huang Ying: "I have a lot of time, and I have nothing to do. I have food, drink, and entertainment. I can spend as long as I want. It's just——your master, I'm afraid It's exhausting."

Huang Ying's breath tightened, her almond eyes widened: "What do you mean by that, my lord?"

"He probably doesn't know who he has provoked yet." Cui Yan smiled with his hands folded, his body like a green bamboo, his expression elegant and open-minded, "Go and tell him, I'm not that superficial person, this word trick, Not only can I do nothing to me, but I also have nothing against him. If you have something to talk about, you can talk about it when you have something to say, and it’s not like what a husband does when you cover up. Of course, if you are not afraid of death, just procrastinate."

Huang Ying's eyes flashed with vigilance: "Don't scare me, I don't believe it!"

"Heh." Cui Yu chuckled, turned and sat down on the chair, "I just want to say two things, one, you know how to fight, and two, I'm still on the Wei River."

Huang Ying's eyes widened immediately.

"Guess, do I only know these two things, or do I know more?" Cui Yu's eyes were curved, and he smiled like a cunning fox.

Huang Ying didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that everything she said would be wrong.Where did she miss the news!

"Tell this to your master. If he is a wise man, he should know it."

After saying this sentence, Cui Yu didn't speak any more, twisted the chess pieces with his hands, and started to play chess with himself.

Huang Ying didn't dare to stay anymore, and left the room with the tray in trouble.

Cui Yu's treatment was indeed very good. If there was any need, just speak out, and within a short while, it would be satisfied.He is not polite, although he can be considerate.

He took a nice nap in the afternoon and ordered a table of his favorite dishes in the evening. Cui Yu said that although being taken captive was annoying, the hospitality was pretty good. If the communication can be smooth, he would not mind helping Yang Xuan. To put it in a good word, don't let Yang Xuan wipe out his family.

I don't know if it was an accident, or my own threatening reminders played a role. At night, when the stars and the moon were shining, the door of the room was opened, and Huang Ying came in to salute and invited him to the lobby.

The lobby...any place called the lobby is a place for serious discussions.It seems that these people are really in a hurry.

Cui Mata straightened his clothes slowly, making sure that his image was acceptable and that he had not shown any disrespect, and then went out with Huang Ying.

There was always something covering the top of the head, and the stars and the moon could not be seen, but the feeling of the soles of the feet gradually changed slightly. Cui Yu could still clearly distinguish whether he was walking on a boat in the swaying river or on smooth land.

He should have stepped out of the boat and walked into an adjacent building.Therefore, the building is connected to the boat, and there are walls and tiles on the upper, lower, left, and right sides that are airtight, so he can't see the stars and the moon all the way.

This dock is well built.

Walking through the winding and long alleyway, I don't know how long it took, the front suddenly brightened, countless torches were lit and inserted on the wall, reflecting the vision into daylight, very clear, tall and strong men in seventy or eighty stood in the hall, Staring covetously at the visitor together, the scene was ferocious and shocking.

Cui Yu was not afraid at all, and could even smile and greet everyone with a light nod.

Huang Ying led him to the front of the first seat in the lobby, and saluted respectfully to the big man seated: "Boss Jiang, Mr. Cui is here."

Cui Yu slightly bowed his hands and saluted, with a smile on his lips.

This boss Jiang... looks really surprising.

Xu Shi disliked the heat. Like everyone in the hall, he was bare-chested, showing strong muscles, over eight feet tall, bald, dark complexion, leopard eyes and wide mouth, arms as thick as his legs, big feet sideways With the last stomp, the entire lobby, which seemed capable of being stomped, trembled slightly.

He glared at Cui Yu viciously. At first glance, it seemed that there was a rough and murderous aura in the air, and the aura was quite fierce.

Coupled with the colorful stripes on the first seat, and the entire tiger skin with all four claws... Cui Yu felt in a daze that he seemed to have entered a bandit's den.

"Since you are in a hurry, I am not ambiguous. Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. I invite you to come here this time. There is indeed something to do!" The Jiang boss stomped his feet and began to shout, his voice was extremely loud.

Cui Yu lightly smiled: "Do you think this method is called 'please'?"

"Hahahaha——" Chief Jiang laughed so unrestrainedly that he almost knocked over the roof, "Of course I call you, people in my generation invite people like this, brothers, don't you think so!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The younger brothers in the hall were extremely supportive of the boss, they followed suit and looked at Cui Yu even more unkindly.

Cui Yu was not afraid either, he just raised his brows slightly, and looked around the hall.

I didn't pay attention when I first came in. In fact, there are not only men in this hall.In front of the small door that connects to the back hall, there is a circle of women standing. Although their complexions are not as hostile as those of the men, they are also stern and heroic. It's full...it should be the family members of this group of men.

The maid Huang Ying who followed him has also walked over and stood in a row with them.

The sound of the men stomping their feet and clapping their hands and slapping their weapons continued, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely hot, as if throwing a spark, it would explode.

Chief Jiang waved his hand high, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Cui Mata felt something in his heart and looked at the big man.

Chief Jiang pointed at Cui Yu and snorted hard: "Please come, I give you two choices, one, you help me, let Sha San return my help site, double the compensation, write a letter of surrender, and promise to see you again." I will avoid and never offend each other! If you don’t want to, you have to choose two.”

He glanced at Cui Yu's body, and smiled frivolously: "You are so thin and tender, you look really good-looking, it's a pity to sell it to a small children's house, it's better to sell it to those who have no children and have to be ugly The only daughter of a wealthy businessman, the reward is enough for us brothers to be free!"

When the man heard such a topic, he immediately booed, laughing and whistling: "Sell with an ugly girl! Sell with an ugly girl! Sell with an ugly girl!"

Cui Yu raised his eyes slightly and smiled, "So it's because of the territory." Could it be that he suffered an innocent disaster?It was actually the River Gang fighting for Yang Xuan!

"Are you scared hahahahaha!" Chief Jiang laughed.

Cui Yu reacted, and then remembered the word "ugly girl".He sighed lightly: "If I don't follow, sell me to an ugly girl, and don't kill people and exterminate grass and roots, you won't worry about me coming back for revenge?"

Chief Jiang laughed loudly, and looked at his brothers as if hearing some joke: "He actually wants to take revenge against the River Gang!"

The big men roared with laughter: "Let him come! Let's sell it again!"

"Sell it again! Sell it again!"

Cui Mata stroked his forehead, feeling that it was exhausting to talk to the bastards: "Actually, ugly girls are just bad-looking, but Xu has a good heart, knows how to love others, and is willing to live a stable life?"

Boss Jiang frowned, as if he really started to think about this issue: "That's not okay, I can't take advantage of you, I have to find you a tigress!"

Cui Yu sighed again, and had no choice but to bring the topic back: "You want me to convince Sha San?"

Head Jiang came back to his senses and acted ruthlessly again. He clasped his hands and squeezed his neck. He twisted his neck and made a clicking sound: "Why, don't you want to?"

Accustomed to seeing Yang Xuan's methods of scaring people, this is not enough, Cui Yu didn't even bat an eyelid, quite calmly said, "But he might not listen to what I say."

"You can pull it down!" Chief Jiang slammed the table with his hand, "Na Sha San always comes and goes alone, his whereabouts are a mystery, but he just kissed you and wandered around you from time to time. We stared at you for a long time, and I saw it with my own eyes. See, Sha San is still hugging you and acting like a spoiled child! If he doesn't listen to you, who will he listen to? If you don't want to, you can just say it!"

"Speak straight! Say straight! Say straight!" The men continued to build momentum.

Cui Mata kept his eyes on Chief Jiang, carefully observing his every move. When his eyes shifted, he slid past a circle of men, and finally stopped in front of a person.

He narrowed his slender eyes, and continued to speak slowly: "Yes, we have friendship, but this matter is different. This is a territory, how can you let it go lightly? Will the territory you laid down be given to others?"

His voice was elongated and very evocative.

Head Jiang poked his bald head, and spat: "That's right, the outsiders are not good people, it doesn't matter who has a place!"

Cui Mata smiled.

"However—" For some reason, Chief Jiang suddenly shuddered, and became serious and fierce again, "Is it important or not, you will know after trying! If you are not willing to cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless. Come on, never This little brother gave Sha San a finger!"

The men began to coax the atmosphere again, and some of them really came over, escorting Cui Yu to one side of the table, and there stood a tall, thin man with a long scar on his face and a terrifying aura.

This man was carrying a huge three-foot-long machete on his shoulders, the light of the fire shone coldly.

"If you don't help, cut it off!"

"If you don't help, cut it off!"

"If you don't help, cut it off!"

The onlookers not only stomped their feet, but took out their weapons to attack each other in the air. For a while, the weapons were sharp and humming, and the atmosphere was quite scary.

The tall and thin man slowly took off the knife from his shoulder, and swung it in front of Cui Yu.

However, at this time, Cui Yu still didn't know how to be afraid, turned his head slightly, and looked at the circle of people standing next to the inner room: "Madam, haven't you played enough?"

Everyone froze.

There was a smile in Cui Yu's voice, Youyuan Qingyue: "Madam is sure, is it really good to treat guests like this?"
