The little sweetheart dressed as the ghost king
Chapter 59 Threat
Xiji was worried all night, but in the end he still couldn't get the answer he wanted from the Night King, so he couldn't help feeling a little angry when he got up.
It's just that before he could vent his anger, he found that the Night King, who was supposed to sleep on the same bed as him, had left at some point.
Seeing the half-empty bed beside her, Xiji gritted her teeth and got out of bed rather unwillingly.
When I came outside, Grandma was feeding the chickens with wild vegetables, and the patriarch was sitting at the door weaving bamboo baskets. Seeing them getting up so early, Xiji greeted them embarrassedly, and then followed Grandma's instructions and went to the kitchen He took the bowl of porridge left for him.
The peasants didn't pay much attention, so Xiji directly took the steaming bowl of porridge to the outside yard, sat down on the small bench, drank the porridge, and chatted with them about homework , "Grandma, why didn't you see Miao Er? Is she up?"
Grandma fed the last handful of vegetables in her hand to the chicken that was clucking non-stop at her, looked back at Xiji who was sitting there obediently holding a small bowl of porridge, and said with a smile: "Then The girl didn't know what was going on recently, she went out early in the morning, she said she was going to pick some wild vegetables and come back for another meal."
Xiji was still thinking about what he said last night, so while listening to Grandma's words, he thought about the possibility of Miao'er recognizing their identities.The half bowl of porridge had bottomed out, so Xiji asked casually, "Where does Miaoer go to pick vegetables? How about I go and help?"
Grandma heard him say this, and seeing that he is usually warm-hearted, so she didn't doubt his purpose very much, and said cheerfully: "No need, Miao'er is picking vegetables on the nearby mountains, and he can't pick much. She can do it alone."
When Xiji heard what she said, she responded, and didn't say anything more, just thinking about the things she was struggling with.So, does Miao Er know their identities?Thinking about Ye Wang's reaction after he revealed his conjecture yesterday, he felt that Miao Er probably still didn't know their identities, otherwise Ye Wang wouldn't be so calm.
Xiji silently praised his wit in his heart, and then thought of the Night King taking this matter and letting himself hang out all night, and suddenly felt unhappy again.Only then did he remember that he hadn't seen the Night King since he woke up.
Xiji cleaned up the porridge in the bowl, then looked at the grandmother who started to clean the courtyard after feeding the chicken, and asked loudly, "Grandma, have you seen my husband?"
Grandma's cleaning hands paused for a moment, she straightened her waist, rubbed her waist that started to swell after bending for a while, looked at Xiji thinking for a while, and said slowly: "Young Master Ye? I got up early, and said I was going out for a walk, to see if I could grab something and come back to make up for you."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to find it interesting, looked at Xiji and sighed: "It's better to have a good relationship with you young people! I think when I was young, my bad old man didn't treat me like that."
Xiji was a little embarrassed by the playful eyes of the grandmother, and said in a stumbling manner: "Grandma is still in such a strong body now, she must have been in better health when she was young, so the patriarch did not think of this."
Grandma looked at the sweet-talking Xiji, smiled twice, didn't say much, and continued to concentrate on her own business.When you are young, you have a good relationship, and when you are old, you are also a good companion.
He took the bowl he finished eating back to the kitchen, fetched water from the water tank outside the kitchen, and washed the bowl he finished eating. Looking at the clean bowl, Xiji squatted on the ground and stared blankly for a while, thinking of the Night King Going out should not be like granny said to catch wild animals for yourself, but to observe the terrain. After all, they will leave here in a few days. Going to have a look will save any accidents when they run away. There is no place for it.
Xiji thought absently, wondering when the Night King would come back today.Putting the bowl on the bowl rack, he was ready to go out and do something for grandma. Anyway, he was idle, and helping him with some work would also save him from thinking about things. Xiji, who had made up his mind, put the bowl in his hand Arranged neatly and went out.
……
Miao Er was walking on the mountain absent-mindedly with her basket on her back. Thinking of what Ye Ge said yesterday that they would leave soon, she felt very uncomfortable.She knew that if Brother Ye left like this, she probably would never see him again for the rest of her life.
As soon as he thought of Brother Ye's face, Miao Er felt as if he was sick, his heart beat faster and his face turned red.None of the men she had ever met looked better than Brother Ye.Moreover, Brother Ye is rich and capable, compared to those farmers I have seen, I don't know how many times better.
Miao Er thought of this, and then remembered that she was 16 this year. If the girls from other families would have married long ago, only because she is the granddaughter of the patriarch, she has higher requirements. Until now, she has not been able to come to propose marriage. requesting person.
It's just that no matter what, she's getting older, and she won't stay for another two years, so she has to marry even if she doesn't want to.When she thought that she would marry those rude, sweaty old men, she felt uncomfortable for a while.She doesn't want to live this kind of life with her face facing the loess and her back facing the sky. She wants to be like those young ladies in the city, who eat hot food and drink spicy food, and have someone to serve them when they go out, and someone to serve them at home.
The more Miao'er thought about it, the more frustrated she became, and the speed of digging wild vegetables also slowed down. She dug for a while, thinking that she could get some back and explain to her grandma.At this moment, she heard a loud noise coming from the woods in front of her. It must have been a huge living thing. She first called out softly, "Who's there?"
No one responded, thinking of the wild boar that brother Ye shot back yesterday, it must be the same kind of wild boar who came to take revenge, right?Miao'er heard from the old man that those animals that live outside all the year round are very evil and can hold vengeance. If they are targeted by them, they will inevitably be retaliated from time to time.
Thinking of the size of the wild boar, Miao Er panicked, walked lightly, found a tree canopy to cover herself, and stared vigilantly at the direction of the movement, waiting to see what it was.
After a few seconds, the movement became louder and louder. Miao'er waited intently, holding his breath, and then saw a tall figure walking out from the tree canopy.
Seeing that man, Miao'er's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about being afraid, she ran out to the man in a hurry, and shouted happily, "Brother Ye."
Ye Wang obviously didn't expect to see Miao Er here. Seeing her shouting to him happily, he was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a kind smile, "Why are you here?"
He wouldn't come out with him, would he?Thinking of what he had come out to do, Night King frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
Miao Er didn't feel his dissatisfaction at all. Seeing King Ye's eyes staring at her for a moment, her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head and whispered, "I see that the vegetables at home are running low, so I want to go out and find some wild vegetables. So that I can give Brother Ye another meal."
What she said was blatant. Girls in the mountains are always informal. She didn't feel anything. On the contrary, after hearing her words, the Night King looked at her calmly and didn't speak.
Miao Er saw that Brother Ye didn't pick up her words, and stopped talking, and felt a little uneasy, wondering if she should continue to say something to ease the atmosphere.The two looked at each other, but didn't say anything.
As soon as Miao Er lowered her head, she saw the pheasant in Ye Wang's hand, which looked quite heavy, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Ye, what is this?"
Ye Wang lifted the pheasant in his hand, weighed the weight, looked at Miao'er and said casually: "I heard that wild animals are better for people. When my husband and I fled together, he was injured, so I thought about it." Grab something and go back to fill him up."
After hearing what he said, Miao Er bit her lip, with a bit of jealousy in her eyes, she muttered, "Brother Ye, you are so kind to your husband."
When King Ye heard what she said, he curled his lips and said with a hint of joy in his tone, "My husband is good-looking, well-behaved, and more importantly, he is devoted to me. Naturally, I want to treat him better."
Hearing this, Miao Er felt very uncomfortable, pursed her lips, and thought a little unconvinced, she could be well-behaved and obedient, and treat Brother Ye better.Thinking of this, he became unwilling again.
Ye Wang saw her face changing constantly, and he didn't know how to hide it at all. He sneered in his heart, and he didn't intend to continue pestering her. He looked at her and said apologetically, "If Miss Miaoer has nothing else to do, I'll go ahead. I’m going back, although this pheasant is delicious, it’s troublesome to clean up, I have to go back and clean it up so that my husband can make it.”
Miao Er was originally very irritated by what Ye Wang said just now, seeing that he was about to leave, she immediately panicked, stopped in front of him, looked at his puzzled expression, gritted her teeth and directly I said what I had planned for a long time, "I like you, I want to be with you, even if it's your concubine, it doesn't matter. Brother Lin is so kind, even if you marry me as a concubine, he won't will say anything."
Ye Wang's face turned cold, he looked at the little girl in front of him, and asked in a flat tone: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
When Miao Er heard him ask this, her eyes were no longer as gentle as before, and she was inexplicably frightened, but then she remembered her purpose.Now that it has been said, it can't give up halfway. Thinking of some things I have heard before, Miao Er looked at the Night King and wanted to rush up to hug him.
Ye Wang's movements were very quick, and he dodged sideways before Miao'er bumped into him, then looked at a person who had fallen on the ground, and said indifferently: "First of all, not everyone can be described by the word "marry". In the eyes of everyone, this word can only be used by the official wife of a Ming media. Secondly, I don't know how to take concubines, even if I do, I won't look for a mountain village girl like you."
After Ye Wang taunted him, he didn't care about Miao Er who was sitting on the ground, and left with the things in his hands.When he saw this woman just now, he shouldn't have stopped, wasting so much of his time.
Miao Er fell to the ground and watched the Night King stride away with the pheasant in hand, during which time she didn't even look at herself again.Thinking of what he said just now, and the cold expression he had never seen before, Miao Er felt a little sad for a moment, she didn't know that this man despised her so much.
Thinking about it, she is also one of the most beauties in this area. She thinks that she is no worse than those ladies except for her clothes, but now she is so disgusted by others.The more Miao Er thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and she couldn't help crying.
When the Night King returned to the small courtyard of the patriarch's house, Xiji was following Grandma, busily processing the wild pork left over from yesterday.Although there were some people who came to help yesterday, they left more, so how to store the meat became a problem.
After weighing it up, Grandma thought that their family didn't have that much salt, so she decided to hang up all the meat to dry, so that it could be kept for a longer time.
When Xiji heard the words, he also agreed, so he followed suit.The two of them struggled for a long time, but they didn't have enough strength, so they only managed a little bit, and they might have to ask for help for the rest.
When the two saw the Night King entering the door, they saw the plump and colorful chicken in his hand at first sight.
When Xiji saw the chicken, he even forgot to ask the Night King why he teased him like that yesterday. He quickly put down the meat in his hand, ran to the Night King, and looked down at the chicken.I saw that the chicken was twice the size of an ordinary chicken, and its fur was shiny and shiny, and it looked delicious.
Thinking of the wild game he ate in his previous life, Xiji licked his lips, feeling a little greedy, but he still didn't forget to ask the Night King how he caught this chicken.
Seeing the greedy expression on Xiji's face, King Ye felt a little funny, handed him the chicken in his hand, and said, "I went around the mountain and saw something moving in the grass, so I went over to take a look, and then When I saw this chicken squatting there, I immediately called it back. You can deal with it later, cook it and eat it."
When Xiji heard him say this, he nodded and said that he would do well.He took the chicken from Ye Wang's hand, and was ready to go to the kitchen with the chicken, but before turning around and leaving, he glanced at the wild boar that was still being processed, hesitated, looked at Ye Wang and said: "But, we The pork has not been processed yet."
The Night King glanced at the large part of the wild meat left, thought for a while and didn't immediately offer to help them, but said to the busy grandma: "Grandma, there's too much meat, I'm afraid it's It’s not easy, if you have someone you know well, invite them over to help. The reward for helping is given to this pork, and let them improve the food, so you can save some effort.”
Grandma hesitated for a moment when she heard his words, and then realized that the pork was originally hunted by the Night King, so she nodded and agreed, planning to invite someone after lunch.She had to think carefully about who to invite.
Although the pork is no longer available, the pheasant still needs to be dealt with. Although Xiji and the others live here as guests.But except for the first few days, when I didn't do anything because of my injury, I helped out a lot of things during the rest of the time. As the host who collected their money, my grandma was also a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Xiji wanted to scald the chicken, he hurried to start a fire, but Xiji would not listen to her persuasion. After a long time, Xiji would not persuade again. After all, boiling water is not a particularly heavy labor, and it will not be exhausted. Granny.
Xiji thought so, and while Grandma was boiling the water, he briefly dealt with the pheasant.
Xiji patted the chicken in relief, and said happily: "I'm very happy, it looks like you are not puffy!"
The Night King, who just wanted to come in to help, happened to see his actions, and was silent for a few seconds, thinking about whether Xiji was so lively before he was not injured.After thinking about it for a while, he found no results. He couldn't remember whether it was like this when Xiji was facing the ingredients, and he didn't seem to have seen Xiji handling the ingredients much.
After Xiji finished praising the pheasant for making him fat and strong, he turned around and saw the Night King staring at him with an indescribable expression.Thinking of what I was doing just now, I felt instantly ashamed, my face was flushed red, and I wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.
Ye Wang raised his eyebrows when he saw his embarrassment and indignation. He didn't say anything at first, but just looked at the chicken in his hand, and said jokingly: "It's quite fat. If it is like this, today the chicken will be fried." Let's eat."
Xiji was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. Obviously, the Night King heard what he said just now, and took this opportunity to mock him.
Fortunately, the Night King knows what is enough and enough is enough. Seeing Sigina's appearance, he stopped teasing him.Instead, ask him if he needs help.
Xiji hesitated for a while when he heard the words, and shook his head when he thought of the simplicity and rudeness of the Night King when he handled the chicken last time. To be honest, he still likes to eat chicken with the skin on.
Hearing that Xiji didn't need to help himself, the Night King felt a little sorry, and looked at him again, but didn't insist anymore.
Xiji watched the Night King leave, and carried the chicken to the water.
While Xiji and Grandma were handling the chicken, Miao'er also came back, covered in mud and looking a bit embarrassed.
Grandma was a little angry, and cursed loudly: "You damn girl, don't you know how old you are? You still treat yourself like a child, and come back only after being so dirty when you go out."
Miao Er was already annoyed today, and felt that she was extremely wronged, but now she was scolded by her grandma when she entered the door, and she immediately became aggrieved, "I just made myself dirty, what's wrong!"
"Oh, you damn girl, you took the wrong medicine today, and you actually talked back to your grandma." Grandma saw her always docile granddaughter talking back to herself, and immediately became angry, seeing that she was not angry at all. Said.
Xiji looked at the two who were about to quarrel, and quickly persuaded: "Sister Miao'er probably didn't do it on purpose, maybe something happened outside, let's ask carefully."
When Miao Er heard Xiji speak for herself, thinking of the humiliation she suffered at the Night King today, she couldn't calm down for a while, and said angrily: "It's none of your business, I don't need you to pretend to be kind."
Hearing what she said, Grandma became even angrier. Just as she was about to say something to her again, Miao Er turned her head angrily and went back to the room.
Xiji saw that instead of persuading people to make peace, he made Miao'er even more angry, a little confused.It was Grandma who saw him like this and comforted him, and Xiji was relieved.He felt that he was simply thinking too much, whether Miao Er was angry or not, it was none of his business anyway.
Until lunch at noon, Miao'er's anger still persisted, and even the lunch was brought in by grandma.
Xiji felt that Miao'er was a little inexplicable. She was fine yesterday, but why did she become like this today.Then in a blink of an eye, he saw the Ye Wang who was eating leisurely, and thought of what he said to himself yesterday, even if this Miaoer didn't find out their identities, there must be something wrong.
Thinking of this, he stopped thinking about it.Instead, he went to pick up meat for the Night King. He suffered such a serious injury a while ago, so he should eat more meat.
Seeing this, the King of the Night curled his lips, and accepted all the meat that Xiji picked up.
……
Since that day when they decided to leave, the two have been discussing the date of departure.
After Night King said that his injuries were fine, and that as long as he stopped exercising vigorously or fighting with others, they would not break apart, the two decided to set off in three days, leave here, and return to Night King's residence.
The Night King has been outside for a long time, and if he doesn't go back, the people there will probably think he is dead and let someone replace him.
Since it was time to leave, Xiji and the others bid farewell to Granny and the patriarch, and informed them of the exact time of departure.
Although the grandmother already knew the news that they would leave, after getting along for a long time, she still showed a bit of reluctance, and said that she would make some dry food for them before they left and let them bring it.
Miao Er was not so sad when she heard that they had confirmed the date of departure this time, and her mood was quite complicated.
After being rejected by the Night King last time, she was very angry, and even deliberately avoided him. After she calmed down, she also wanted to understand the reason why the Night King didn't like her. Although she figured it out, her mood was still Still angry.
Now, the Night King is leaving, which means that she really has no way to stay by his side, whether it's being his concubine or something else.After being rejected, although she was angry, looking at that man every day still made her heart turbulent.
No one taught Miao Er how to deal with such emotions, so she decided not to stay at home on weekdays, but to go back to her room after dinner at night, and she was determined not to be in the same space with the Night King.
"Miao'er, we're going to the town to do some shopping, are you going?" Xiaohua looked at Miao'er and asked expectantly in her tone.
Miao Er hesitated for a few seconds, but nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Miao'er agreed, Xiao Hua seemed very happy, as if she had thought of something, she moved to Miao'er's side, and asked nervously: "I heard that the two people who live in your house are very good-looking, is it true?" ?"
Miao Er was a little unhappy when she heard her say this, but thinking of their good looks, she couldn't just say bad-looking without conscience, so she could only nod reluctantly.
Seeing her nodding, Xiao Hua immediately became more excited, looked at her longingly and said: "I also want to see what they look like, but Dad won't let me. Can you tell me what they look like?"
When Miao Er heard her words, the first thing that popped up in front of her eyes was the handsome but indifferent face of the King of the Night, and her complexion became a little ugly. Then she looked at Xiao Hua, who was staring at her expectantly, and shook her head. She shook her head, indicating that she couldn't describe it.
When Xiaohua heard her say this, she was not angry at all, and even helped her find an excuse, "Yes, people have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. It's not surprising that you can't describe it. Wait until the day Grandma Seeing that I am not so strict, I will go and see for myself."
Miao Er looked at her innocent little friend, opened her mouth, but still didn't say that they were leaving soon.
Early the next morning, Miao'er and Xiaohua followed the ox cart in the village to the town, talking and laughing along the way, having a great time.But if you observe carefully, you will find that Xiaohua is talking all the time, and Miaoer, who was lively in the past, just echoes from time to time.
Xiaohua didn't think there was anything wrong. When she got to the town, she told the uncle driving the car when she would gather here, and the group separated.
Xiaohua took Miaoer and wanted to go to the pastry shop, which was the place they had to go every time they came to the town, but when they passed the town's yamen gate, they found that the place where there were no people in the past was actually crowded with people, I don't know what I'm doing.
Xiao Hua is very curious, but Miao Er doesn't care too much, she still misses the Night King who is about to leave.It's just that she couldn't resist her friend's idea of wanting to join in the fun, so she was dragged and squeezed in abruptly.
It turned out that the reason why so many people gathered here was because of the unprecedented notice posted here.Miao'er and Xiaohua couldn't read, so naturally they couldn't understand what was said.
Miao Er wanted to leave, but Xiao Hua wanted to know what was going on, so she approached an uncle next to her and asked curiously, "Uncle, can you understand what is written on it?"
When the uncle heard someone talking to him, he turned his head and saw that it was a wild girl from the countryside. His tone suddenly became contemptuous, he touched his chin, and said firmly: "Of course I understand, otherwise I will stand What are you doing here?"
Xiaohua didn't care about his tone, as if she didn't hear the disgust in it, she continued to ask: "Then what is written on it?"
The uncle looked at Xiao Hua contemptuously, and then repeated the above content, "It says that someone attempted to assassinate the king not long ago, but failed. Unfortunately, the gang of thieves were still allowed to run away. Now Your Majesty was very angry, and gave out a hundred taels of gold to catch those people, and if someone came forward and exposed them, when the thief was caught, the gold would belong to that person."
Xiao Hua was very moved by what he said, a hundred taels of gold, she had never seen even a tael of gold, and then she muttered to herself: "But we don't even know what that thief looks like, so how can we help arrest him? "
When the uncle heard Xiao Hua's words, he seemed to feel that Xiao Hua's appearance, which had never seen the world, gave him a sense of superiority. This notice clearly states the characteristics of those thieves." After finishing speaking, he told Xiao Hua about those characteristics.
Xiaohua seemed to understand half-understood, and seemed to be a little puzzled, but seeing the uncle who was talking eloquently, it was not easy to interrupt him.On the other hand, Miao Er, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard the conversation, and then he was full of disbelief, and the uncle's words kept echoing in his ears,
"There is also a little brother among them. That little brother is very good-looking. It is said that he has a seductive hemorrhoid at the end of his eye. As long as anyone takes a look at him, he will be seduced."
Hearing his words, Miao'er immediately thought of Xiji, and it seemed that there was a hemorrhoid in the corner of his eye.Thinking of Ye Wang being so kind to Xiji on weekdays, Miao'er couldn't help but murmur in his heart, maybe it wasn't because Brother Ye was fascinated by that murderous little brother, that's why he was so kind to him.
After the uncle finished speaking, he had something to do and left. Seeing this, Xiao Hua also wanted to drag Miao Er away.
A thought suddenly popped up in Miao'er's mind, if that little brother is really the criminal that the king wants to arrest, what about Brother Ye?Is he unaware, or what?
Thinking of this, Miao'er didn't know whether to be excited or scared, and asked Xiaohua with a trembling voice: "Did the uncle say just now that apart from that little brother, there is something special about everyone else? "
Xiao Hua felt a little strange when she heard her friend ask this question. When the uncle said that just now, didn't Miao Er stand beside him?Why are you asking yourself again now.
However, out of trust in her friend, Xiao Hua didn't think too much, shook her head, and said directly: "I just heard that uncle said that the little brother has this characteristic, as for the others, I don't think there is anything special about it." !"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Hua, who satisfied her curiosity, wanted to leave.But before she pulled Miao Er away, the two were stopped by the soldier who had been standing by the notice.
Miao'er and Xiaohua are both dutiful country girls. When they saw the little soldier blocking the way, they were a little scared, thinking that they had committed something accidentally, but they didn't expect that the little soldier not only didn't say they committed a crime, but instead had a kind face Looking at them, he smiled and said, "Do you have any clues?"
Hearing his question, Miao Er's first reaction was to shake his head, expressing no.
The little soldier was not angry when he saw this, and seemed to be just asking a question as a matter of routine, then looked at them, and said politely: "If you have any clues, you can come and tell us, the king's reward is here. As long as you can help the king catch people, those rewards will be given to those who provide clues."
When Miao Er heard his words, she was quite moved, and suddenly remembered the embarrassment of being rejected yesterday. If she wants to live a good life, she doesn't have to marry that man, it's the same if she has money!
But now she is not sure whether those two are the thieves that the king wants to arrest. If she makes a mistake, she will be the one who will suffer at that time.Thinking of this, Miao Er wanted to be sure, looked at the friendly soldier in front of him, and boldly said: "Guard, how do you identify this thief?"
Hearing her words, the little soldier looked her up and down, seemed to have thought of something, narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face became more and more kind, looked at her and said:
"The leader of the thief is a nine-foot man with a ghost face. He is thin and has many sword wounds on his body. As for the others, they also have various wounds on their bodies. If you see the suspicious wounded man Those of you must report to us so as not to miss the reward."
When Miao Er heard what he said, she still hesitated in her heart, and asked uncertainly: "What if the person who was reported is not the one Wang wants to arrest?"
Hearing what she said, Xiaobing's squinted eyes flickered a little, and he continued in a gentle voice: "If you catch the wrong person, you will naturally let him go back."
"Really?" Miao Er, who was immersed in her own thoughts, didn't see anything wrong with Xiaobing's face just now, so she reconfirmed with some trepidation.
Xiao Bing looked at Miao Er who was full of tangled faces, the smile on his face got wider, and he said sincerely: "Of course it is true."
After getting the answer, Miao Er didn't say anything more, but thanked the little soldier, turned and left.
After she left, the soldier looked at her back, called another soldier, and told him, "Go and follow those two women and see where they live."
"Yes." The soldier didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with obeying his order, so he responded and went to work.
On the other side, Miao'er has been absent-minded since she finished asking.Xiaohua looked at her and felt a little strange, patted her good friend, and muttered, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so out of your mind?"
"No, it's nothing." Hearing her question, Miao Er immediately came to her senses and evaded it perfunctorily.Seeing that the big-hearted Xiaohua didn't continue to ask, she was relieved, but she was thinking about what she just asked.
She wanted both the bounty and Brother Ye.She doesn't know what to do now, whether to hand them over to see if they are the ones the king wants to arrest, or to show Brother Ye and let him marry her directly.
Until returning to the village, Miao Er still didn't think of a reason.But as soon as she entered the door, she saw the Night King who was chopping firewood. If she followed the usual practice, she should have returned to the room at this time, but what happened to her today made her feel very ups and downs, and she forgot about it for a while. own persistence.
Standing there watching the Night King chopping firewood neatly, his movements are full of beauty that those peasants don't have.She thought that she seemed to like this man more than the illusory bounty.
A girl born in a peasant family doesn't know what it means to be shy, what's more, she also knows that if she misses this man, she won't have a better choice.She decided to try again. Compared with the last time, this time she has his handle, and she will definitely get the answer she wants.
Therefore, Miao Er did not go straight back to the room like the previous few times, but walked up to the Night King and stood still.
The Night King knew she was coming early in the morning, but after what happened last time, they were about to leave soon, one more thing is worse than one less thing, he didn't want to cause trouble anymore.So, he ignored her.
At this time, seeing her coming in front of him, he didn't seem to want to leave. The Night King frowned. After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't get over it. He raised his head and looked at her, wanting to see what she was going to do again. What.
Seeing that King Ye clearly knew he was coming, but pretended not to see him, Miao Er was a little annoyed. Thinking of her purpose of coming, she became even more impolite. Looking at him, she said directly, "I know your identities."
When the Night King heard her words, the expression on his face did not change at all, but the strength of the ax in his hand became stronger.
Miao Er looked at Ye Wang who didn't change his expression, thinking that he didn't believe him, so he went to the town to see the notice on impulse, and asked Xiaobing about it.
After hearing what she said, Ye Wang finally changed his expression when he looked at her, but that look clearly showed some pity.
Miao Er didn't read the information, seeing him like this, she thought he was afraid of her, so she became more proud and said her purpose, "As long as you agree to marry me, I will promise not to report on you .”
The Night King looked at this stupid woman, did not give her any hope, and said bluntly: "How do you know that we are the fugitives that the King wants to arrest, we have said it since the first day, we are just passing businessmen , It’s just a misfortune accidentally.”
Miao Er was a little flustered when he said that, but soon, she thought of something again, and continued: "But you came with injuries on your body, and your husband is even more like the little brother in the description. Ten to ten percent, those officers and soldiers don’t care if you have suffered innocent disasters or not. If I go to inform you, you will definitely be arrested.”
The Night King looked at her, his face turned cold, and he asked in a cold tone, "Are you threatening me?"
Miao Er took a step back in fright because of his suddenly stronger aura, but looked at him not to be outdone, and said forcefully, "Since we've reached this point, I'm threatening you."
Ye Wang looked at Miao Er who didn't seem to understand what he had done, a wicked smile gloated at his misfortune, and said with a low laugh, "You go and report us."
Miao Er looked at the Night King in surprise, was taken aback by his aura just now, and took a step back.Seeing the smile on his face, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have done something wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Seeing the Night King who continued to chop firewood and ignored him, Miao Er, who had returned home once again, stomped his feet, turned around and ran back to the room.
After she left, the Night King straightened up, looked at the firewood under his hand, and smiled contemptuously.
It's just that before he could vent his anger, he found that the Night King, who was supposed to sleep on the same bed as him, had left at some point.
Seeing the half-empty bed beside her, Xiji gritted her teeth and got out of bed rather unwillingly.
When I came outside, Grandma was feeding the chickens with wild vegetables, and the patriarch was sitting at the door weaving bamboo baskets. Seeing them getting up so early, Xiji greeted them embarrassedly, and then followed Grandma's instructions and went to the kitchen He took the bowl of porridge left for him.
The peasants didn't pay much attention, so Xiji directly took the steaming bowl of porridge to the outside yard, sat down on the small bench, drank the porridge, and chatted with them about homework , "Grandma, why didn't you see Miao Er? Is she up?"
Grandma fed the last handful of vegetables in her hand to the chicken that was clucking non-stop at her, looked back at Xiji who was sitting there obediently holding a small bowl of porridge, and said with a smile: "Then The girl didn't know what was going on recently, she went out early in the morning, she said she was going to pick some wild vegetables and come back for another meal."
Xiji was still thinking about what he said last night, so while listening to Grandma's words, he thought about the possibility of Miao'er recognizing their identities.The half bowl of porridge had bottomed out, so Xiji asked casually, "Where does Miaoer go to pick vegetables? How about I go and help?"
Grandma heard him say this, and seeing that he is usually warm-hearted, so she didn't doubt his purpose very much, and said cheerfully: "No need, Miao'er is picking vegetables on the nearby mountains, and he can't pick much. She can do it alone."
When Xiji heard what she said, she responded, and didn't say anything more, just thinking about the things she was struggling with.So, does Miao Er know their identities?Thinking about Ye Wang's reaction after he revealed his conjecture yesterday, he felt that Miao Er probably still didn't know their identities, otherwise Ye Wang wouldn't be so calm.
Xiji silently praised his wit in his heart, and then thought of the Night King taking this matter and letting himself hang out all night, and suddenly felt unhappy again.Only then did he remember that he hadn't seen the Night King since he woke up.
Xiji cleaned up the porridge in the bowl, then looked at the grandmother who started to clean the courtyard after feeding the chicken, and asked loudly, "Grandma, have you seen my husband?"
Grandma's cleaning hands paused for a moment, she straightened her waist, rubbed her waist that started to swell after bending for a while, looked at Xiji thinking for a while, and said slowly: "Young Master Ye? I got up early, and said I was going out for a walk, to see if I could grab something and come back to make up for you."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to find it interesting, looked at Xiji and sighed: "It's better to have a good relationship with you young people! I think when I was young, my bad old man didn't treat me like that."
Xiji was a little embarrassed by the playful eyes of the grandmother, and said in a stumbling manner: "Grandma is still in such a strong body now, she must have been in better health when she was young, so the patriarch did not think of this."
Grandma looked at the sweet-talking Xiji, smiled twice, didn't say much, and continued to concentrate on her own business.When you are young, you have a good relationship, and when you are old, you are also a good companion.
He took the bowl he finished eating back to the kitchen, fetched water from the water tank outside the kitchen, and washed the bowl he finished eating. Looking at the clean bowl, Xiji squatted on the ground and stared blankly for a while, thinking of the Night King Going out should not be like granny said to catch wild animals for yourself, but to observe the terrain. After all, they will leave here in a few days. Going to have a look will save any accidents when they run away. There is no place for it.
Xiji thought absently, wondering when the Night King would come back today.Putting the bowl on the bowl rack, he was ready to go out and do something for grandma. Anyway, he was idle, and helping him with some work would also save him from thinking about things. Xiji, who had made up his mind, put the bowl in his hand Arranged neatly and went out.
……
Miao Er was walking on the mountain absent-mindedly with her basket on her back. Thinking of what Ye Ge said yesterday that they would leave soon, she felt very uncomfortable.She knew that if Brother Ye left like this, she probably would never see him again for the rest of her life.
As soon as he thought of Brother Ye's face, Miao Er felt as if he was sick, his heart beat faster and his face turned red.None of the men she had ever met looked better than Brother Ye.Moreover, Brother Ye is rich and capable, compared to those farmers I have seen, I don't know how many times better.
Miao Er thought of this, and then remembered that she was 16 this year. If the girls from other families would have married long ago, only because she is the granddaughter of the patriarch, she has higher requirements. Until now, she has not been able to come to propose marriage. requesting person.
It's just that no matter what, she's getting older, and she won't stay for another two years, so she has to marry even if she doesn't want to.When she thought that she would marry those rude, sweaty old men, she felt uncomfortable for a while.She doesn't want to live this kind of life with her face facing the loess and her back facing the sky. She wants to be like those young ladies in the city, who eat hot food and drink spicy food, and have someone to serve them when they go out, and someone to serve them at home.
The more Miao'er thought about it, the more frustrated she became, and the speed of digging wild vegetables also slowed down. She dug for a while, thinking that she could get some back and explain to her grandma.At this moment, she heard a loud noise coming from the woods in front of her. It must have been a huge living thing. She first called out softly, "Who's there?"
No one responded, thinking of the wild boar that brother Ye shot back yesterday, it must be the same kind of wild boar who came to take revenge, right?Miao'er heard from the old man that those animals that live outside all the year round are very evil and can hold vengeance. If they are targeted by them, they will inevitably be retaliated from time to time.
Thinking of the size of the wild boar, Miao Er panicked, walked lightly, found a tree canopy to cover herself, and stared vigilantly at the direction of the movement, waiting to see what it was.
After a few seconds, the movement became louder and louder. Miao'er waited intently, holding his breath, and then saw a tall figure walking out from the tree canopy.
Seeing that man, Miao'er's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about being afraid, she ran out to the man in a hurry, and shouted happily, "Brother Ye."
Ye Wang obviously didn't expect to see Miao Er here. Seeing her shouting to him happily, he was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a kind smile, "Why are you here?"
He wouldn't come out with him, would he?Thinking of what he had come out to do, Night King frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
Miao Er didn't feel his dissatisfaction at all. Seeing King Ye's eyes staring at her for a moment, her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head and whispered, "I see that the vegetables at home are running low, so I want to go out and find some wild vegetables. So that I can give Brother Ye another meal."
What she said was blatant. Girls in the mountains are always informal. She didn't feel anything. On the contrary, after hearing her words, the Night King looked at her calmly and didn't speak.
Miao Er saw that Brother Ye didn't pick up her words, and stopped talking, and felt a little uneasy, wondering if she should continue to say something to ease the atmosphere.The two looked at each other, but didn't say anything.
As soon as Miao Er lowered her head, she saw the pheasant in Ye Wang's hand, which looked quite heavy, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Ye, what is this?"
Ye Wang lifted the pheasant in his hand, weighed the weight, looked at Miao'er and said casually: "I heard that wild animals are better for people. When my husband and I fled together, he was injured, so I thought about it." Grab something and go back to fill him up."
After hearing what he said, Miao Er bit her lip, with a bit of jealousy in her eyes, she muttered, "Brother Ye, you are so kind to your husband."
When King Ye heard what she said, he curled his lips and said with a hint of joy in his tone, "My husband is good-looking, well-behaved, and more importantly, he is devoted to me. Naturally, I want to treat him better."
Hearing this, Miao Er felt very uncomfortable, pursed her lips, and thought a little unconvinced, she could be well-behaved and obedient, and treat Brother Ye better.Thinking of this, he became unwilling again.
Ye Wang saw her face changing constantly, and he didn't know how to hide it at all. He sneered in his heart, and he didn't intend to continue pestering her. He looked at her and said apologetically, "If Miss Miaoer has nothing else to do, I'll go ahead. I’m going back, although this pheasant is delicious, it’s troublesome to clean up, I have to go back and clean it up so that my husband can make it.”
Miao Er was originally very irritated by what Ye Wang said just now, seeing that he was about to leave, she immediately panicked, stopped in front of him, looked at his puzzled expression, gritted her teeth and directly I said what I had planned for a long time, "I like you, I want to be with you, even if it's your concubine, it doesn't matter. Brother Lin is so kind, even if you marry me as a concubine, he won't will say anything."
Ye Wang's face turned cold, he looked at the little girl in front of him, and asked in a flat tone: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
When Miao Er heard him ask this, her eyes were no longer as gentle as before, and she was inexplicably frightened, but then she remembered her purpose.Now that it has been said, it can't give up halfway. Thinking of some things I have heard before, Miao Er looked at the Night King and wanted to rush up to hug him.
Ye Wang's movements were very quick, and he dodged sideways before Miao'er bumped into him, then looked at a person who had fallen on the ground, and said indifferently: "First of all, not everyone can be described by the word "marry". In the eyes of everyone, this word can only be used by the official wife of a Ming media. Secondly, I don't know how to take concubines, even if I do, I won't look for a mountain village girl like you."
After Ye Wang taunted him, he didn't care about Miao Er who was sitting on the ground, and left with the things in his hands.When he saw this woman just now, he shouldn't have stopped, wasting so much of his time.
Miao Er fell to the ground and watched the Night King stride away with the pheasant in hand, during which time she didn't even look at herself again.Thinking of what he said just now, and the cold expression he had never seen before, Miao Er felt a little sad for a moment, she didn't know that this man despised her so much.
Thinking about it, she is also one of the most beauties in this area. She thinks that she is no worse than those ladies except for her clothes, but now she is so disgusted by others.The more Miao Er thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and she couldn't help crying.
When the Night King returned to the small courtyard of the patriarch's house, Xiji was following Grandma, busily processing the wild pork left over from yesterday.Although there were some people who came to help yesterday, they left more, so how to store the meat became a problem.
After weighing it up, Grandma thought that their family didn't have that much salt, so she decided to hang up all the meat to dry, so that it could be kept for a longer time.
When Xiji heard the words, he also agreed, so he followed suit.The two of them struggled for a long time, but they didn't have enough strength, so they only managed a little bit, and they might have to ask for help for the rest.
When the two saw the Night King entering the door, they saw the plump and colorful chicken in his hand at first sight.
When Xiji saw the chicken, he even forgot to ask the Night King why he teased him like that yesterday. He quickly put down the meat in his hand, ran to the Night King, and looked down at the chicken.I saw that the chicken was twice the size of an ordinary chicken, and its fur was shiny and shiny, and it looked delicious.
Thinking of the wild game he ate in his previous life, Xiji licked his lips, feeling a little greedy, but he still didn't forget to ask the Night King how he caught this chicken.
Seeing the greedy expression on Xiji's face, King Ye felt a little funny, handed him the chicken in his hand, and said, "I went around the mountain and saw something moving in the grass, so I went over to take a look, and then When I saw this chicken squatting there, I immediately called it back. You can deal with it later, cook it and eat it."
When Xiji heard him say this, he nodded and said that he would do well.He took the chicken from Ye Wang's hand, and was ready to go to the kitchen with the chicken, but before turning around and leaving, he glanced at the wild boar that was still being processed, hesitated, looked at Ye Wang and said: "But, we The pork has not been processed yet."
The Night King glanced at the large part of the wild meat left, thought for a while and didn't immediately offer to help them, but said to the busy grandma: "Grandma, there's too much meat, I'm afraid it's It’s not easy, if you have someone you know well, invite them over to help. The reward for helping is given to this pork, and let them improve the food, so you can save some effort.”
Grandma hesitated for a moment when she heard his words, and then realized that the pork was originally hunted by the Night King, so she nodded and agreed, planning to invite someone after lunch.She had to think carefully about who to invite.
Although the pork is no longer available, the pheasant still needs to be dealt with. Although Xiji and the others live here as guests.But except for the first few days, when I didn't do anything because of my injury, I helped out a lot of things during the rest of the time. As the host who collected their money, my grandma was also a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Xiji wanted to scald the chicken, he hurried to start a fire, but Xiji would not listen to her persuasion. After a long time, Xiji would not persuade again. After all, boiling water is not a particularly heavy labor, and it will not be exhausted. Granny.
Xiji thought so, and while Grandma was boiling the water, he briefly dealt with the pheasant.
Xiji patted the chicken in relief, and said happily: "I'm very happy, it looks like you are not puffy!"
The Night King, who just wanted to come in to help, happened to see his actions, and was silent for a few seconds, thinking about whether Xiji was so lively before he was not injured.After thinking about it for a while, he found no results. He couldn't remember whether it was like this when Xiji was facing the ingredients, and he didn't seem to have seen Xiji handling the ingredients much.
After Xiji finished praising the pheasant for making him fat and strong, he turned around and saw the Night King staring at him with an indescribable expression.Thinking of what I was doing just now, I felt instantly ashamed, my face was flushed red, and I wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.
Ye Wang raised his eyebrows when he saw his embarrassment and indignation. He didn't say anything at first, but just looked at the chicken in his hand, and said jokingly: "It's quite fat. If it is like this, today the chicken will be fried." Let's eat."
Xiji was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. Obviously, the Night King heard what he said just now, and took this opportunity to mock him.
Fortunately, the Night King knows what is enough and enough is enough. Seeing Sigina's appearance, he stopped teasing him.Instead, ask him if he needs help.
Xiji hesitated for a while when he heard the words, and shook his head when he thought of the simplicity and rudeness of the Night King when he handled the chicken last time. To be honest, he still likes to eat chicken with the skin on.
Hearing that Xiji didn't need to help himself, the Night King felt a little sorry, and looked at him again, but didn't insist anymore.
Xiji watched the Night King leave, and carried the chicken to the water.
While Xiji and Grandma were handling the chicken, Miao'er also came back, covered in mud and looking a bit embarrassed.
Grandma was a little angry, and cursed loudly: "You damn girl, don't you know how old you are? You still treat yourself like a child, and come back only after being so dirty when you go out."
Miao Er was already annoyed today, and felt that she was extremely wronged, but now she was scolded by her grandma when she entered the door, and she immediately became aggrieved, "I just made myself dirty, what's wrong!"
"Oh, you damn girl, you took the wrong medicine today, and you actually talked back to your grandma." Grandma saw her always docile granddaughter talking back to herself, and immediately became angry, seeing that she was not angry at all. Said.
Xiji looked at the two who were about to quarrel, and quickly persuaded: "Sister Miao'er probably didn't do it on purpose, maybe something happened outside, let's ask carefully."
When Miao Er heard Xiji speak for herself, thinking of the humiliation she suffered at the Night King today, she couldn't calm down for a while, and said angrily: "It's none of your business, I don't need you to pretend to be kind."
Hearing what she said, Grandma became even angrier. Just as she was about to say something to her again, Miao Er turned her head angrily and went back to the room.
Xiji saw that instead of persuading people to make peace, he made Miao'er even more angry, a little confused.It was Grandma who saw him like this and comforted him, and Xiji was relieved.He felt that he was simply thinking too much, whether Miao Er was angry or not, it was none of his business anyway.
Until lunch at noon, Miao'er's anger still persisted, and even the lunch was brought in by grandma.
Xiji felt that Miao'er was a little inexplicable. She was fine yesterday, but why did she become like this today.Then in a blink of an eye, he saw the Ye Wang who was eating leisurely, and thought of what he said to himself yesterday, even if this Miaoer didn't find out their identities, there must be something wrong.
Thinking of this, he stopped thinking about it.Instead, he went to pick up meat for the Night King. He suffered such a serious injury a while ago, so he should eat more meat.
Seeing this, the King of the Night curled his lips, and accepted all the meat that Xiji picked up.
……
Since that day when they decided to leave, the two have been discussing the date of departure.
After Night King said that his injuries were fine, and that as long as he stopped exercising vigorously or fighting with others, they would not break apart, the two decided to set off in three days, leave here, and return to Night King's residence.
The Night King has been outside for a long time, and if he doesn't go back, the people there will probably think he is dead and let someone replace him.
Since it was time to leave, Xiji and the others bid farewell to Granny and the patriarch, and informed them of the exact time of departure.
Although the grandmother already knew the news that they would leave, after getting along for a long time, she still showed a bit of reluctance, and said that she would make some dry food for them before they left and let them bring it.
Miao Er was not so sad when she heard that they had confirmed the date of departure this time, and her mood was quite complicated.
After being rejected by the Night King last time, she was very angry, and even deliberately avoided him. After she calmed down, she also wanted to understand the reason why the Night King didn't like her. Although she figured it out, her mood was still Still angry.
Now, the Night King is leaving, which means that she really has no way to stay by his side, whether it's being his concubine or something else.After being rejected, although she was angry, looking at that man every day still made her heart turbulent.
No one taught Miao Er how to deal with such emotions, so she decided not to stay at home on weekdays, but to go back to her room after dinner at night, and she was determined not to be in the same space with the Night King.
"Miao'er, we're going to the town to do some shopping, are you going?" Xiaohua looked at Miao'er and asked expectantly in her tone.
Miao Er hesitated for a few seconds, but nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Miao'er agreed, Xiao Hua seemed very happy, as if she had thought of something, she moved to Miao'er's side, and asked nervously: "I heard that the two people who live in your house are very good-looking, is it true?" ?"
Miao Er was a little unhappy when she heard her say this, but thinking of their good looks, she couldn't just say bad-looking without conscience, so she could only nod reluctantly.
Seeing her nodding, Xiao Hua immediately became more excited, looked at her longingly and said: "I also want to see what they look like, but Dad won't let me. Can you tell me what they look like?"
When Miao Er heard her words, the first thing that popped up in front of her eyes was the handsome but indifferent face of the King of the Night, and her complexion became a little ugly. Then she looked at Xiao Hua, who was staring at her expectantly, and shook her head. She shook her head, indicating that she couldn't describe it.
When Xiaohua heard her say this, she was not angry at all, and even helped her find an excuse, "Yes, people have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. It's not surprising that you can't describe it. Wait until the day Grandma Seeing that I am not so strict, I will go and see for myself."
Miao Er looked at her innocent little friend, opened her mouth, but still didn't say that they were leaving soon.
Early the next morning, Miao'er and Xiaohua followed the ox cart in the village to the town, talking and laughing along the way, having a great time.But if you observe carefully, you will find that Xiaohua is talking all the time, and Miaoer, who was lively in the past, just echoes from time to time.
Xiaohua didn't think there was anything wrong. When she got to the town, she told the uncle driving the car when she would gather here, and the group separated.
Xiaohua took Miaoer and wanted to go to the pastry shop, which was the place they had to go every time they came to the town, but when they passed the town's yamen gate, they found that the place where there were no people in the past was actually crowded with people, I don't know what I'm doing.
Xiao Hua is very curious, but Miao Er doesn't care too much, she still misses the Night King who is about to leave.It's just that she couldn't resist her friend's idea of wanting to join in the fun, so she was dragged and squeezed in abruptly.
It turned out that the reason why so many people gathered here was because of the unprecedented notice posted here.Miao'er and Xiaohua couldn't read, so naturally they couldn't understand what was said.
Miao Er wanted to leave, but Xiao Hua wanted to know what was going on, so she approached an uncle next to her and asked curiously, "Uncle, can you understand what is written on it?"
When the uncle heard someone talking to him, he turned his head and saw that it was a wild girl from the countryside. His tone suddenly became contemptuous, he touched his chin, and said firmly: "Of course I understand, otherwise I will stand What are you doing here?"
Xiaohua didn't care about his tone, as if she didn't hear the disgust in it, she continued to ask: "Then what is written on it?"
The uncle looked at Xiao Hua contemptuously, and then repeated the above content, "It says that someone attempted to assassinate the king not long ago, but failed. Unfortunately, the gang of thieves were still allowed to run away. Now Your Majesty was very angry, and gave out a hundred taels of gold to catch those people, and if someone came forward and exposed them, when the thief was caught, the gold would belong to that person."
Xiao Hua was very moved by what he said, a hundred taels of gold, she had never seen even a tael of gold, and then she muttered to herself: "But we don't even know what that thief looks like, so how can we help arrest him? "
When the uncle heard Xiao Hua's words, he seemed to feel that Xiao Hua's appearance, which had never seen the world, gave him a sense of superiority. This notice clearly states the characteristics of those thieves." After finishing speaking, he told Xiao Hua about those characteristics.
Xiaohua seemed to understand half-understood, and seemed to be a little puzzled, but seeing the uncle who was talking eloquently, it was not easy to interrupt him.On the other hand, Miao Er, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard the conversation, and then he was full of disbelief, and the uncle's words kept echoing in his ears,
"There is also a little brother among them. That little brother is very good-looking. It is said that he has a seductive hemorrhoid at the end of his eye. As long as anyone takes a look at him, he will be seduced."
Hearing his words, Miao'er immediately thought of Xiji, and it seemed that there was a hemorrhoid in the corner of his eye.Thinking of Ye Wang being so kind to Xiji on weekdays, Miao'er couldn't help but murmur in his heart, maybe it wasn't because Brother Ye was fascinated by that murderous little brother, that's why he was so kind to him.
After the uncle finished speaking, he had something to do and left. Seeing this, Xiao Hua also wanted to drag Miao Er away.
A thought suddenly popped up in Miao'er's mind, if that little brother is really the criminal that the king wants to arrest, what about Brother Ye?Is he unaware, or what?
Thinking of this, Miao'er didn't know whether to be excited or scared, and asked Xiaohua with a trembling voice: "Did the uncle say just now that apart from that little brother, there is something special about everyone else? "
Xiao Hua felt a little strange when she heard her friend ask this question. When the uncle said that just now, didn't Miao Er stand beside him?Why are you asking yourself again now.
However, out of trust in her friend, Xiao Hua didn't think too much, shook her head, and said directly: "I just heard that uncle said that the little brother has this characteristic, as for the others, I don't think there is anything special about it." !"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Hua, who satisfied her curiosity, wanted to leave.But before she pulled Miao Er away, the two were stopped by the soldier who had been standing by the notice.
Miao'er and Xiaohua are both dutiful country girls. When they saw the little soldier blocking the way, they were a little scared, thinking that they had committed something accidentally, but they didn't expect that the little soldier not only didn't say they committed a crime, but instead had a kind face Looking at them, he smiled and said, "Do you have any clues?"
Hearing his question, Miao Er's first reaction was to shake his head, expressing no.
The little soldier was not angry when he saw this, and seemed to be just asking a question as a matter of routine, then looked at them, and said politely: "If you have any clues, you can come and tell us, the king's reward is here. As long as you can help the king catch people, those rewards will be given to those who provide clues."
When Miao Er heard his words, she was quite moved, and suddenly remembered the embarrassment of being rejected yesterday. If she wants to live a good life, she doesn't have to marry that man, it's the same if she has money!
But now she is not sure whether those two are the thieves that the king wants to arrest. If she makes a mistake, she will be the one who will suffer at that time.Thinking of this, Miao Er wanted to be sure, looked at the friendly soldier in front of him, and boldly said: "Guard, how do you identify this thief?"
Hearing her words, the little soldier looked her up and down, seemed to have thought of something, narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face became more and more kind, looked at her and said:
"The leader of the thief is a nine-foot man with a ghost face. He is thin and has many sword wounds on his body. As for the others, they also have various wounds on their bodies. If you see the suspicious wounded man Those of you must report to us so as not to miss the reward."
When Miao Er heard what he said, she still hesitated in her heart, and asked uncertainly: "What if the person who was reported is not the one Wang wants to arrest?"
Hearing what she said, Xiaobing's squinted eyes flickered a little, and he continued in a gentle voice: "If you catch the wrong person, you will naturally let him go back."
"Really?" Miao Er, who was immersed in her own thoughts, didn't see anything wrong with Xiaobing's face just now, so she reconfirmed with some trepidation.
Xiao Bing looked at Miao Er who was full of tangled faces, the smile on his face got wider, and he said sincerely: "Of course it is true."
After getting the answer, Miao Er didn't say anything more, but thanked the little soldier, turned and left.
After she left, the soldier looked at her back, called another soldier, and told him, "Go and follow those two women and see where they live."
"Yes." The soldier didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with obeying his order, so he responded and went to work.
On the other side, Miao'er has been absent-minded since she finished asking.Xiaohua looked at her and felt a little strange, patted her good friend, and muttered, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so out of your mind?"
"No, it's nothing." Hearing her question, Miao Er immediately came to her senses and evaded it perfunctorily.Seeing that the big-hearted Xiaohua didn't continue to ask, she was relieved, but she was thinking about what she just asked.
She wanted both the bounty and Brother Ye.She doesn't know what to do now, whether to hand them over to see if they are the ones the king wants to arrest, or to show Brother Ye and let him marry her directly.
Until returning to the village, Miao Er still didn't think of a reason.But as soon as she entered the door, she saw the Night King who was chopping firewood. If she followed the usual practice, she should have returned to the room at this time, but what happened to her today made her feel very ups and downs, and she forgot about it for a while. own persistence.
Standing there watching the Night King chopping firewood neatly, his movements are full of beauty that those peasants don't have.She thought that she seemed to like this man more than the illusory bounty.
A girl born in a peasant family doesn't know what it means to be shy, what's more, she also knows that if she misses this man, she won't have a better choice.She decided to try again. Compared with the last time, this time she has his handle, and she will definitely get the answer she wants.
Therefore, Miao Er did not go straight back to the room like the previous few times, but walked up to the Night King and stood still.
The Night King knew she was coming early in the morning, but after what happened last time, they were about to leave soon, one more thing is worse than one less thing, he didn't want to cause trouble anymore.So, he ignored her.
At this time, seeing her coming in front of him, he didn't seem to want to leave. The Night King frowned. After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't get over it. He raised his head and looked at her, wanting to see what she was going to do again. What.
Seeing that King Ye clearly knew he was coming, but pretended not to see him, Miao Er was a little annoyed. Thinking of her purpose of coming, she became even more impolite. Looking at him, she said directly, "I know your identities."
When the Night King heard her words, the expression on his face did not change at all, but the strength of the ax in his hand became stronger.
Miao Er looked at Ye Wang who didn't change his expression, thinking that he didn't believe him, so he went to the town to see the notice on impulse, and asked Xiaobing about it.
After hearing what she said, Ye Wang finally changed his expression when he looked at her, but that look clearly showed some pity.
Miao Er didn't read the information, seeing him like this, she thought he was afraid of her, so she became more proud and said her purpose, "As long as you agree to marry me, I will promise not to report on you .”
The Night King looked at this stupid woman, did not give her any hope, and said bluntly: "How do you know that we are the fugitives that the King wants to arrest, we have said it since the first day, we are just passing businessmen , It’s just a misfortune accidentally.”
Miao Er was a little flustered when he said that, but soon, she thought of something again, and continued: "But you came with injuries on your body, and your husband is even more like the little brother in the description. Ten to ten percent, those officers and soldiers don’t care if you have suffered innocent disasters or not. If I go to inform you, you will definitely be arrested.”
The Night King looked at her, his face turned cold, and he asked in a cold tone, "Are you threatening me?"
Miao Er took a step back in fright because of his suddenly stronger aura, but looked at him not to be outdone, and said forcefully, "Since we've reached this point, I'm threatening you."
Ye Wang looked at Miao Er who didn't seem to understand what he had done, a wicked smile gloated at his misfortune, and said with a low laugh, "You go and report us."
Miao Er looked at the Night King in surprise, was taken aback by his aura just now, and took a step back.Seeing the smile on his face, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have done something wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Seeing the Night King who continued to chop firewood and ignored him, Miao Er, who had returned home once again, stomped his feet, turned around and ran back to the room.
After she left, the Night King straightened up, looked at the firewood under his hand, and smiled contemptuously.
