after the villain

29.

Yan Jingyu and his party were stopped by the heavy snow outside the city for several days, the heavy snow finally stopped in the evening, but the city gate of Surabaya was still closed, Yan Jingyu finally couldn't wait any longer, asked Gong Yi to help drag his elder brother, turned his head Just overturned the city wall.

On the first day that the city was sealed off by heavy snow, Yan Jingyu received a note from Ji Wuming from Mu Niao to appease his restlessness, which allowed him to stay in peace. Everywhere in the room was blank white.

The wooden bird made by the old man is convenient, but it is not as good as a real bird. In this kind of weather, once it is released, it will fly back by itself within two breaths, and it is impossible to send a message.And because the weather was too cold, it was covered with snow when it flew, and it turned into water and soaked into the abdominal cavity. After a night of frost, the mechanism was immediately useless.

Yan Jingyu can only violently dismantle it, not repair it, and other people only know that there is such a gadget, which is very strange, worse than him.

For several days like this, although he didn't say anything, the hostility accumulated between his brows made Nangong Cheng, who was always good at making friends, shy away from him.

After all, Surabaya was just a small city in Yanzhou, the guards at the city gate were not strict, and Yan Jingyu was good at stealth and body skills, so he slipped into the city easily without causing disturbance.

He went straight to the inn where Ji Wuming stayed.

Unexpectedly, the time of arrival was unlucky, Ji Wuming was about to take a bath, he was startled, and couldn't help but leak two minutes of movement.

Incidents happened one after another in Yangjia Village and Changyihou Mansion, which are related to Yang Tianxue. Ji Wuming pondered whether it was a coincidence or related. He was a little distracted, but suddenly felt a little more breath in the room, and his eyes turned cold.

He rolled up his collar with one hand, and with the other he pulled out the boning knife buried under his clothes.

But in a moment, the cold light came out of its sheath, and the murderous intent swept towards him with a strong wind.

really die.

Yan Jingyu's pupils shrank slightly, and before he could regain his senses, his body had already reacted. He hurriedly took a few steps back, and drew out the short knife with his backhand. .

The cold moonlight leaked in through the window, and the cold wind slightly rolled up the loose hem of his clothes. The man had black satin hair loose, his open collar exposed his flat chest, and his peach blossom eyes embraced the moonlight. A layer of water mist floated up, making it difficult to distinguish the emotions inside.

Ji Wuming was stunned for a moment, and then he saw clearly the face of the disgraced and rather embarrassed young man in Tsing Yi, he was a little surprised, "Yan Jingyu?"

"En." Yan Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body gradually relaxed due to the suppressed killing intent of the other party.

He put away the dagger, glanced at the steaming water, lowered his head to hide the inexplicable embarrassment on his face, and said sullenly, "I didn't know you were bathing and changing."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Ji Wuming, as if he was afraid that he would be angry. Seeing that he was only looking at him and not talking nonsense, his eyes were a little flustered. of."

"If you don't like it, I can go out." He turned his head and was about to climb the window to leave.

Ji Wuming stopped him with a funny face, and asked, "It's this hour when the city gate is not opened today—could you have come over the city wall?"

Yan Jingyu immediately lowered her head, and stood there silently like a child who was caught making a mistake.

Ji Wuming looked at his dirty clothes and face, sighed helplessly, then put on his coat again and walked outside across the screen.

"Look at you disgraced face, hurry up and wash up." He fixed Yan Jingyu in place with his eyes, but the latter not only didn't appreciate it, but drooped his eyes and curled his lips, looking like he was abandoned. expression.

Ji Wuming was funny, and looked at him leisurely, "What's your expression? I deliberately let the water out and let you clean up first, aren't you happy?"

"..." Yan Jingyu looked at him with drooping eyebrows, her tone depressed, "No."

"Yes is written all over his face." Ji Wuming approached him, his peach blossom eyes were half-bent, and the water in his eyes reflected the young man's fierce eyebrows, and he said half-jokingly, "Why? You don't want me to go, do you? "

Ji Wuming also hasn't seen him for a long time, he didn't expect him to come in over the city wall, he felt a little inexplicable, and seeing his stupid look that was easy to bully, he couldn't help teasing him a few words.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jingyu pursed the corner of his mouth forcefully, and dodged his eyes staring at him, with an expression on his face.

Ji Wuming: "..."

He couldn't tell what mood he was in, and looked at him for a while in astonishment, "You—"

The young man in Tsing Yi kept looking at him quietly, his dark eyes staring at him inexplicably flustered.

Ji Wuming paused, gathered himself together, looked away and smiled again, and hastily brought up the topic, "Hurry up and wash, I'll find someone to bring you a set of clothes."

He said to wash three times in total, am I dirty?These days outside, the weather is cold, the lake is frozen, and I need to use internal energy to warm up when I sleep at night, and I have no chance or place to take a bath.

Yan Jingyu watched Ji Wuming leave the room without looking back, then looked at his clothes, then turned to look at himself reflected in the water.

It's really disgraceful and dirty.

He quickly took off his clothes and stepped into the tub.

Ji Wuming originally wanted to find Xiao Er to find a piece of clothing, but it was so late, and the ready-to-wear shop had long since closed. It would be a good day for ordinary people to have a winter coat in winter. Can only take out some coarse linen shirts.

Although Yan Jingyu's clothes are few, and they are all washed to white, but at least they are made of solid, high-quality fabrics.

In general, their clothes and large items are placed on the carriage.

Ji Wuming thought for a while, then knocked on the old man's door instead.

The dim light and shadow inside reflected a long, distorted shadow. The old man didn't know what he was doing inside. The rustling movements made people hairy. He was annoyed by Ji Wuming's deliberately heavy knock on the door, and his tone was very aggressive. Shouting inside, "Get out of here!"

"it's me."

Before Ji Wuming finished speaking, the door was opened, but it was not the old man who opened the door, but a hand made of wood with rough carvings.

All the furniture in the room was piled up together, and the old man didn't know how to get up. He sat cross-legged on it, and there were some wooden parts scattered around. Several bamboo strips connected with silk threads were dragged by the old man in his hand. With a move of his finger, that The wooden hand moved away from the eyes.

Seeing that Ji Wuming's gaze followed the wooden hand, the old man showed it quite proudly. Under his control, the wooden hand was pinched into an orchid finger for a while, and changed into the Avalokitesvara hand for a while, with incredible flexibility.

Just looking at it, it's a bit like a popular puppet show.

However, with the wooden cows, horses, kites, birds, and jade in Tianji Valley in front, it is obviously difficult for Ji Wuming to pay more attention to the wooden hands that still need to be controlled manually.

The old man snorted dejectedly.

Wooden hand opened a box, accurately grabbed Yan Jingyu's luggage from the mess inside, and threw it directly into Ji Wuming's arms.

"Fuck you, just like Xiao Que'er, you have no knowledge at all!" He angrily threw him out.

When Ji Wuming returned to the room, Yan Jingyu had almost finished washing, so he found a set of clothes that Yan Jingyu often wore and hung them on the screen.When Yan Jingyu got dressed and came out, he looked at the young man's thin clothes and couldn't help frowning, then picked up the black cloak and wrapped it up for him involuntarily.

"Winter is still here." He said again, "It just so happens that Lin Yuezhi has made an appointment with the owner of the tailor shop to make clothes, and I will pick up the goods tomorrow. I will take you to have a look together, and add a few clothes for each."

It is said that they add a few pieces each, but in fact Ji Wuming has no shortage of clothes at all. The old man has a lot of money. Every time he goes to a place, the clothes in the package are changed. Some of them are never seen again before Ji Wuming wears them. .So Ji Wuming said this for Yan Jingyu.

The young man has long been used to such thinness, and he is not afraid of the cold. It was the first time he was cared for so tactfully, and he felt like he had taken a hot bath in his heart.

His dark pupils reflected the candlelight for a moment, and he nodded solemnly.

Ji Wuming couldn't help but raised his lips, stretched out his hand and flicked on his forehead, "Such a little thing makes you so satisfied? Then I plan to ask Lin Yuezhi to allocate you 20 taels of silver. Do you want nothing in return?" , make a promise with your body?"

Yan Jingyu was a little excited, and hurriedly grabbed his hand, "Yes, do you want me?"

He wanted to visit the evil palace earlier, but Ji Wuming changed the subject and never mentioned it again.

Ji Wuming was taken aback by his words, then smiled and winked at him, "For the time being. Whether you can stay or not depends on your performance in the future."

"Okay." Yan Jingyu's eyebrows and eyes were tinged with happiness, and he even poured two cups of tea to suppress his shock.

The curling white smoke rose, and Ji Wuming realized that the tea on the table had been replaced with a new one. He looked at the green tea and asked doubtfully, "When did you change the tea?"

"While I was taking a bath." Yan Jingyu drank it down in one gulp, licked his lips, felt that the taste of this tea was different, a little sweet, so he drank two more cups.

The two talked for a quarter of an hour, and Yan Jingyu almost drank half of the pot of tea.

At first, Ji Wuming only thought that he was thirsty, but he didn't realize something was wrong until the end of the boy's eyes turned red.

He suddenly snatched the teapot which was quite empty, and held down the young man who was staring blankly at him, "Someone took medicine, how do you feel now?"

Yan Jingyu also felt that something was wrong, he almost subconsciously activated his internal force to force out the medicine, but in the end he felt hot and dry from his stomach, making his whole face red.

He suddenly realized what medicine he had taken, and raised his head in a panic.Ji Wuming couldn't sit still for a while, got up and went out to find the old man, but Yan Jingyu couldn't even catch him.

The old man thought it was some kind of poison, but he smelled it as soon as he raised his nose, and said with a distorted expression, "A little bit, what's all the fuss about! Help him solve it!"

He left angrily.

Ji Wuming had already seen the boy's reaction, touched his nose in embarrassment, exited the room and closed the door.

For a long time, it was quiet inside.

Ji Wuming couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "Are you ready?"

"..." Yan Jingyu was tormented enough, her voice was extremely aggrieved, and she spit out three words: "I won't."
