Chapter 111: Lift Your Mask
In the blink of an eye, the child's crying ceased, and the child, who had been under the trap, was thrust into the young woman's arms with all his beards and tails.
The young woman was stunned for a moment, touched Xiao Yong's cheek, and after making sure that she was not dreaming, she immediately hugged the child tightly, and fell to her knees in pain.
Xue Jinyi stared intently.
Sure enough, it was him.
The little official of the Ministry of Works widened his eyes and looked at this man like a black crow, because the sun was covered by dark clouds, the sky was gloomy, he could only see a black mass, it seemed that it was the same person who subdued Zhuang Erlang yesterday, I heard that he was the benefactor of the refugees, and he didn't want to meet him again today.
Although he saved Xiao Yong and was the benefactor of the refugees, he was still on guard because of this dress.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" He pretended to be bowed, "Thank you for saving the child." ”
As Xue Jinyi expected, the masked man did not speak.
He flicked his cloak and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Xue Jinyi shouted.
However, her voice didn't stop the masked man's intention to leave.
Xue Jinyi raised her eyebrows, pretending to chase him, forgetting that there was a trap in front of her, and took a step forward.
"Miss Xue!" The Ministry of Works screamed.
Xue Jinyi was like a taste.
She stared confidently at the masked man's back.
Half a step further and you'll fall into a trap.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and she curled the corners of her lips, knowing that she had made the wrong choice.
The masked man turned around, grabbed her arm, and brought her into his arms, and then turned around, and had retreated to a place four or five steps away from the trap, with his back to the Ministry of Works and the others.
Before her footsteps stopped, Xue Jinyi met the masked man's eyes.
"What a coincidence." She sighed, raised her hand, and pressed it against his mask.
The masked man's eyes lit up, and his hands were strained.
Xue Jinyi had tried her best to be faster, but she didn't expect the masked man to react faster, and when she was about to lift the mask, he had already pushed her away.
She said "ouch" and fell next to a dead tree, but fortunately the fallen leaves piled up in the forest, so the fall did not hurt.
The masked man looked at him coldly.
"You can't do this to me, do you?" She protested dissatisfiedly, and shouted to the officials of the Ministry of Works: "Don't come here yet, I have something to say to this benefactor." ”
The Ministry of Works hurriedly stopped the others, and everyone looked at them nervously and curiously.
"Last time, when someone asked you about your identity, I was afraid of causing you trouble," Xue Jinyi looked at the masked man and said unhurriedly: "So if you press it down, you won't have any worries, right?" ”
The masked man did not speak.
Xue Jinyi acquiesced to him, and continued: "No matter how you say it, it's also a favor, not to mention that I have now come up with a way to resettle refugees, so that you can save more worries, it is a greater favor." I think you are a hero, you know that you can't help but repay these favors, right? ”
The officials of the Ministry of Industry vaguely heard Xue Jinyi's words and admired them a little.
"What I want is very simple, either take off your mask and let me see what you look like, or I can say a word and tell me what your name is and where I can find you." Xue Jinyi asked with a smile: "Look, compared to your trouble, how simple is it?" ”
The little official of the Ministry of Industry wants to give Xue Jinyi a thumbs up, this is a round, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense for the masked man not to say what his name is, or take off his mask to show Miss Xue, right?
The masked man took a step back.
Seeing this, Xue Jinyi asked, "Are you leaving?" She shook her head, "I didn't expect you to be such a person, forget it, count me away." ”
The masked man stopped again.
Xue Jinyi looked at him, she was sure that he could already speak, but she was reluctant to speak.
Why?
Isn't it the same with someone else, with her?
Or was he too cold to talk to her?
Xue Jinyi pouted, "Then you can go quickly, we still have something to do here." By the way, thank you for helping these refugees. ”
She got up, patted her clothes, and without looking at the masked man, walked straight forward.
Just as she passed by the masked man, a hand reached over and took her arm, then raised her hand and wrote the word "Yan" on the palm of her hand.
"Yan?" Xue Jinyi read the word softly, "You have Yan in your name?" ”
The masked man nodded.
"Then I'll call you Ayan. Leave. Xue Jinyi didn't do any more entanglement, she simply shook off the masked man's hand and strode forward.
The masked man was stunned for a moment, and strode forward, his figure quickly disappearing into the trees.
When Xue Jinyi approached, the Ministry of Engineering asked, "Miss Xue, just let him go like this?" ”
"I already know his name, and if I return the favor, don't I have to let him go?" Xue Jinyi smiled and clapped her hands, "Let's go back quickly, otherwise it will rain for a while, and the road will be difficult to walk." ”
"Yes, Miss Xue." The officials of the Ministry of Industry don't ask much, such mysterious and mysterious chivalrous people often haunt the capital, since people are so "elusive", then there is nothing to ask.
"However, before leaving, there are signs around the trap to prevent anyone from accidentally falling into it." Xue Jinyi said.
The Ministry of Labor really admired her carefulness, "I'll do it." ”
After setting up a sign by the trap, Xue Jinyi and the others rushed to the Land Gong Temple with the refugees, who knew that the torrential rain poured down on the way, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the branches and leaves, and the noise was so loud that they had to roar to hear clearly.
The official of the Ministry of Industry said: "It was a good day, but it rained so heavily, and there was no place around to hide from the rain." ”
Xue Jinyi had already been drenched into a soup chicken, and she wiped the beads of sweat on her face indifferently, "I see that there are banana leaves over there, pick some, and it can block a little." ”
The Ministry of Labor asked the guards to pick the leaves, and a few people blinked an eye to the banana tree, and then distributed the leaves to everyone.
Xue Jinyi took a leaf and shook the water on it in vain, and the water droplets and raindrops fell to the ground in a mixed manner, and they couldn't tell the difference.
At this time, Xue Jinyi noticed that a stone half the size of a fist rolled down to her feet, she frowned, and looked up at the hillside in front of her.
The rain was pouring down, and the hillside was like a cannon crackling, and then stones rolled down.
She "chuckled" in her heart, hurriedly took a few steps back, and almost bumped into Qinglan.
Qinglan hugged her and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xue Jinyi stared at the hillside, except for the downpour, the hillside seemed to be very calm, but she knew that there was a danger of extinction hidden under this calm, she shouted: "Hurry up, the mountain rocks are going to roll down!" ”
The official of the Ministry of Works also noticed something unusual, and shouted desperately at the top of his voice: "Everyone go this way, avoid it!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook beneath his feet, and the trees on the hillside trembled with it, startling a bird that had taken shelter from the rain under the leaves, and flew into the sky in panic.
