Zha Gong's evolutionary path

The moment Lin Gongru saw the three clay statues, he felt as if someone had thrown him a brick in the face.

Before he was looking for life and death, he didn't see a shadow of Yan Luowang's hair; when he gave up searching, he avoided it in case it was not in time, and he could hide in the abandoned temple that was so abandoned and dilapidated that it couldn't be more dilapidated. hit.

I really saw his mother's big-headed ghost.

Lin Gongru suddenly turned around and grabbed Ye Mingjue's palm: "Let's go."

Ye Mingjue was stunned: "It's raining so heavily outside, where can we go..." Lin Gongru couldn't help but dragged his body outside.

The young master suddenly remembered that this feeling seemed familiar.

In front of Suining in the armory of Yulan Mountain Villa, Lin Gongru also suddenly grabbed his hand without thinking, as if escaping from the plague, and ran away.

Ye Mingjue asked: "Brother Lin, what are you avoiding?"

"..."

Without saying a word, the man kept walking, pulling Ye Mingjue, and he was about to step into the rain again.

The sound of rain in my ears started to ring again.

Suddenly, from the curtain of rain all over the sky, several figures rushed from far to near.At first, it was just a few unclear ink colors, which gradually became larger and closer.

Just as the man and the young man were about to step out of the ruined temple, several figures appeared in front of the door, blocking the way.

"Oh, what a coincidence, isn't this the third owner of Magnolia Villa, and... um... Mr. Lin from Yushu Linfeng?"

The few people who were also soaked through the water shouted for help as soon as they entered the temple gate.Face to face with Lin Gongru and Ye Mingjue, one of them, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman, suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It's fate to meet you from thousands of miles away, do you two still remember me?"

Being blocked, Lin Gongru felt irritable, frowning and was about to say that he didn't know him.

Another younger one immediately followed up and shouted: "Sure enough, it's Young Master Ye and Young Master Lin!"

He squeezed his eyes, pushed his companion beside him, and said with a smile, "It seems that there are rumors in the world that Young Master Ye and Mr. Lin secretly-leaved Yulan Villa privately and ventured out into the world, it is not groundless."

He deliberately took two steps forward, blocking Lin Gongru who wanted to bypass them and go out the door: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin. It is fate to meet each other. We met once in Yulan Villa, remember? ?”

His face was almost close to Lin Gongru's nose, and then Lin Gongru remembered that the middle-aged man and the young son in front of him were the two guests who heard him spread rumors about Ye Mingjue's affair with Ye Mingjue in Yulan Villa.

It seems that one is called Boss Qi, and the other is called Young Master Jiu.

Ye Mingjue also thought about it, no wonder he felt that these two people looked familiar, it turned out that they were one of the guests invited by the village to watch the ceremony when the elder brother got married that day.

"So it's the two of you," the young master looked much more attractive than Lin Gongru, and he seemed to be the owner of a villa in this ruined temple. He said enthusiastically, "It's really a destiny! Why did you come out of this remote town?"

"It's a long story, but it's not because of those small businesses that are not worth it at home. Hey, the silk and satin business is in a downturn these days. You, the third owner, come from a wealthy family, and you don't know anything about the hardships of us small families..."

Boss Qi seized the opportunity and immediately complained about his hardships.

Lin Gongru didn't want to talk nonsense with them at first, he just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong with Ye Mingjue earlier.

However, the disciples of Ye Mingjue's aristocratic family have become accustomed to being polite and courteous to others, and there is absolutely no reason to leave the other party behind when they are talking.

Before he knew it, he was coerced by this dry man and walked into the ruined temple again.

Boss Qi complained half-heartedly, and said enthusiastically: "I see that the clothes on the two of you are already soaked, and it happened that we brought flint and some dry food. If the third owner and Mr. Lin don't dislike it, they will wait with me. Together, bake the clothes for a while, use some food and then go on the road. It’s raining so hard outside, it’s not very convenient to find the way, is it?”

The young master immediately looked at Lin Gongru, his eyes were pitiful and begging.

The temple hair on his forehead was sticking to his face wetly, and his high ponytail was drooping listlessly because of the rain, and he looked very weak.Just now he sneezed several times in a row, as if he really caught a cold.

No matter how anxious Lin Gongru was to leave the ruined temple with the statue of Yama, seeing the young master's pitiful expression, he couldn't bear to take him away forcibly.

——Forget it, there are so many people here, that cold-faced and scheming Yan Luo shouldn't be able to stir up any troubles, right?

After all, it was nothing more than a clay statue, maybe it was just scaring itself.

The fire was born without much effort, and burned blazingly in the middle of the ruined temple.The warmth and light brought by it swept away the gloomy atmosphere in the temple.

Lin Gongru and Ye Mingjue sat aside, facing Boss Qi and Young Master Jiu.Everyone took off their outer shirts and hung them on the long bamboo poles. People and clothes were warmed by the flames, and the expressions reflected by the flames were somewhat confusing.

The rain never stopped.It was getting darker outside, and it was dusk.

A pot of steaming fish soup was simmered on the fire, and the aroma diffused out, making people's stomach growl.

"Come here, try the fish soup. This fish is freshly caught from the river in the early morning."

Boss Qi took a large spoonful of fragrant fish soup with a simple earthenware cup and handed it to Ye Mingjue enthusiastically.

The young master took a look at the pot of fish soup, it was fresh, it looked like a very small fish, and there was not much soup from it.There were 7 of them squeezed together in the temple, not counting the servants of Mr. Jiu who squatted under the tree outside the temple to barely accommodate, each of them could not get a few bites.

Ye Mingjue said: "Thank you for your kindness, we have brought some food for ourselves, Boss Qi, you can use it."

"Could it be that the third owner dislikes my vulgar craftsmanship? Or do you think the soup utensils are not good?" Boss Qi had a hurt expression.

He turned to Lin Gongru again: "Young master Lin, you don't think you will dislike Qi, do you?"

Lin Gongru was holding the steamed buns he bought when he was asking for directions in the morning, and was toasting them back and forth on Ye Mingjue's dagger.

He was also a bit hungry, but for some reason, he just didn't want to accept the love of these guys.

Just as he was about to say something, Ye Mingjue felt embarrassed and said, "Nothing, Boss Qi is self-effacing."

While taking the pottery from the other side with a smile on his face, he said: "Then Ye Mingjue has no choice but to be disrespectful." He took a shallow sip.

Lin Gongru slandered inwardly, the upbringing of the children of the aristocratic family is really ruthless, they don't drink if they don't want to, why are they so hypocritical and polite.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few sips, Ye Mingjue felt that the taste was really delicious, so he handed the pottery cup in his hand to Lin Gongru's lips.

"Brother Lin, try it too."

Under the firelight, the boy's eyes sparkled.Lin Gongru lowered his head to look at the pottery cup, and there was a faint trace of moist water left by Ye Mingjue on the rim of the cup.

The man swallowed back the words he was about to refuse, and finished the rest of the soup with imagination.

Ye Mingjue and him were already sitting very close to each other, and the two of them had developed the habit of not avoiding people and being intimate anytime and anywhere since they were behind the Yuelao Temple.Ye Mingjue casually fed him soup, but it was just unintentional.

In the eyes of Boss Qi and Young Master Jiu, it has another meaning, and the two quickly looked at each other.

Young Master Jiu laughed and said, "You two have such a good relationship."

Boss Qi then smiled and said: "It's been almost a month since the two of you left Magnolia Villa, and I heard that the second owner is sending people around to find out the whereabouts of the third owner..."

Ye Mingjue was startled, and hurriedly said: "You must not reveal my whereabouts to my elder brother and second brother!"

Boss Qi laughed and said: "Naturally, naturally. Where the third owner wants to go and who he wants to be with is the freedom of the third owner. I just listened to someone talking on the road and saw the two in pairs. Hand in hand—”

The young master's face immediately turned red.Pursing his lips, he didn't have the courage to answer.

"When I saw them in the villa that day, I thought the two were just ordinary friends, but I didn't expect that the friendship is really deep."

Lin Gongru baked the steamed stuffed bun until it was golden and fragrant, and planned to hand it to Ye Mingjue along with the dagger.

He ignored the boss's probing words, and just looked at Ye Mingjue and smiled.

He whispered: "Why are you blushing? When the wind spreads farther, it's best to reach your elder brother and second brother's ears. Then I will have a reason to go to your villa to propose marriage... Isn't this a matter of course? .”

Ye Mingjue blushed even more, almost couldn't sit still, gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about—"

He stood up, wanting to walk away from Lin Gongru's side, but the man smiled and pulled the hem of the boy's clothes.

The moment I raised my hand, I felt that my arm was limp, and there was a heavy burden on my shoulders, and I couldn't lift it smoothly.

Lin Gongru was terrified, when Ye Mingjue stood up and took a few steps, suddenly, as if he was drunk, he swayed twice and fell to the ground.

By coincidence, Mr. Jiu was at the place where Ye Mingjue fell, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the limp young master into his arms.

With a smile in his mouth: "Master Ye, be careful, the road is very slippery."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Gongru already sensed something was wrong.Holding Ye Mingjue's dagger in his hand, he felt his strength draining from his body bit by bit.

With a bang, the dagger could no longer be held and fell to his feet.

Ye Mingjue fell into Young Master Jiu's arms, the young master was startled and angry, after several struggles, he was easily held down by the latter.

He watched helplessly as Boss Qi picked up his dagger from the ground, stood up, and put the tip of the knife to Lin Gongru's neck with a smile.

At the same time, the other people in the ruined temple surrounded them in the middle without saying a word.

"You put something in the fish soup..."

Lin Gongru couldn't move his body, but his mind was very clear, and he immediately understood that what happened in this heavy rain was definitely not a mere coincidence.

The businessman, who claimed to be the owner of the silk and satin shop, still had a smile on his face: "Oh, ah, it's really not easy to find opportunities along the way. Originally, I wanted to start in the inn, but there were too many people talking, and the shopkeeper was timid. Stop it, we also spent a lot of thought."

Inn--

No wonder that day, it seemed that I saw familiar faces passing by.

Could it be that they were eyeing them at that time?

Boss Qi seemed to have seen through Lin Gongru's thoughts, and said with a smile, "No, when we were still in the villa, we saw the owner of the third villa personally leading you to the guest room, so we figured out that you had a close relationship with him, so we sent someone to secretly Snooping. Later, I heard you confirm it yourself, and now, I saw it with my own eyes——Brother Jiuxian is right, if you take you down, you will definitely take him down."

On the first night of his stay in Yulan Villa, the figures of the two young men leaving quickly from the door, it turned out that...

Lin Gongru has never regretted her outspoken and frivolous words so much.

If it wasn't for the trouble caused by exporting, how could the other party have planted the idea of ​​attacking them both on their territory?

Suddenly he felt pain in his neck, and the sharp dagger drew a light bloodstain when he was in a trance.

"stop!"

Ye Mingjue kept staring at Lin Gongru, and cried out in fear, "Let go of Brother Lin, what do you want? Tell me, I'll give it to you!"

"The young master is very affectionate and righteous," said Jiu Gongzi, who was hugging him, with a malicious smile, "Seeing the young master so anxious about this man, tsk tsk, even I am so jealous. What do you like about him? , does he have a pretty face? What if—"

He made a gesture of raising the knife, and said with a smile, "If I scratch his face, will the young master still like him?"

"Don't mess around—"

Lin Gongru said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, you have spent so much effort, what is your plan?"

Boss Qi smiled and said, "Well, we don't have high demands, but we just hope that Mr. Lin will go to Yulan Villa to take out a weapon for us."

Even though he had expected it in his heart, Lin Gongru still asked, "...what weapon?"

"300 years ago, the relic of the general who conquered Peking University, long//lance//Suining."

Long//gun///Suining——

Leaving that piece of mysterious ice, it will take a stick of incense in the shortest time, or within an hour in the longest time, and it will become a fierce and invincible monster.

Lin Gongru's face was pale, he saw Ye Mingjue's face was also pale, the young master shook his head desperately: "No, brother Lin, you can't answer—"

The young master's mouth was tightly covered by Young Master Jiu, and his struggling hands and feet were unceremoniously bound.

Boss Qi said slowly: "Mr. Lin, my brother Jiuxian has the same taste for elegance as you. If Mr. Lin can't get the gun back for us within seven days; You have to be bound together with my brother Jiu Xian."

"Compared with the three masters of Yulan Villa, which one is more important than a mere magic weapon, Mr. Lin is not difficult to choose?"
