Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mere Means
Looking at the rats in the yard, Qi Jiu's breathing was a little chaotic, with a little surprise and excitement, he turned his head to look at Hu Yan, and asked with bright eyes, "How did you do it?" ”
Qi Jiu's eyes made Hu Yan feel very useful, so he raised the corners of his lips and replied to him with two words: "It's not difficult." ”
Yu Jiu knew that Hu Yan would not say if he asked too much. Through getting along in the past few days, Mi Jiu gradually understood Hu Yan's character. She could sit motionless on her knees for a long time, as if she were thinking about something, as if she were just sitting withered. As long as you don't take the initiative to talk to her, she will never pay attention to you first. Of course, even if you talk to her, she may not pay attention to you. Her personality is indifferent, her manners are elegant, and her means are clever, and she cannot be blasphemed like a Nine Heavens Xuannu.
If Yu Jiu knew that the reason why Hu Yan behaved elegantly and not irritable was because his face was covered with herbs and he didn't dare to move, he would definitely poke his own eyes. It's a pity that at this moment, Mi Jiu is blinded by a leaf and doesn't know anything. I have to say that Hu Yan, who doesn't say that he can't move, is still very capable of bluffing.
Mi Jiu is still sighing, a woman like Hu Yan is probably smarter than many people. If he hadn't bought her life at Orion's hands, the two would never have crossed paths. Thinking that he had chained her neck, but she had never retaliated against herself, Mi Jiu was a little happy, feeling that she was always different in her eyes. If God has mercy, I hope to be with her for a long time. Even if she is really a monster in the mountains, he is willing to eat it!
Mi Jiu looked at the bustle in the courtyard through the pierced window paper, and only felt that offending no one could offend her, otherwise she wouldn't even know how she died. Although she never explicitly said that the rats in the courtyard were her handiwork, she said "not difficult", which is to admit that the matter is her hand. What a smart, proud man. Alone? Well, perhaps, she's really a human being. Otherwise, she would not have been caught by Orion, and she would have almost been skinned and shaved like a mandrill.
Mi Jiu turned his head to look at Hu Yan, who was taking a sip of water, and his heart was instantly filled with pride - this woman was discovered by him! He brought it back! Be...... His!
I don't know why, Qi Jiu was a little difficult to control the excitement in his heart, walked quickly to Hu Yan, grabbed her hand, stared at her eyes, and said seriously: "You are a person!" Really, I think you're human! ”
A trace of confusion crossed Hu Yan's eyes, and he didn't understand why Yu Jiuhe said this? After thinking about it, he understood Mi Jiu's intentions. In fact, many times, she also wonders what she really is. She took a self-portrait in the mirror and felt that she was a person, but many people scolded her for not being a person; She was poisoned by Gu in her body, Ru Mao drank blood, and when she regained her senses, she was almost startled by herself. At that time, she thought, what the hell is it that she can survive like this? In fact, for many years, no one has treated her as a human being. This is a bit hypocritical to say, but the truth is that although there are many people who hate her for not dying, there are many more who worship her. They didn't think she was human, and they worshipped her like a god, because she was a priestess who could serve God!
This person, this actor who is as low as an ant and can't even control her own fate, actually says that she is a person?! Don't he know that those who serve God with their bodies need to destroy human nature and preserve heavenly principles?! What a daring! Scold......
Hu Yan's thoughts were full of thoughts, and finally they all turned into a chuckle of unknown meaning.
It was the first time she heard Hu Yan laughing, although the voice was very stiff and sounded obedient, but she did smile to herself. Qi Jiu only felt that his heart was full of joy and did not know how to express it, he looked at her stupidly, grinning like an idiot. He grabbed her wrist and asked incoherently, "Do you have a name?" Have it? Would you like to give you a name? No, no, no, how can I name you? I...... I can't. What is your name? Baby? Shall I call you baby? You are the treasure I found, and naturally my baby. ”
Hu Yan felt as if a flock of crows were flying overhead. She pulled her wrist out of Hu Yan's hand, took another sip of white water, raised her voice slightly, and said, "Fortune and treasure?" ”
"Uh......" is a shriveled eggplant. When he first bought her, he did confuse her with the lame fox, the stupid earth dog, and the one-eyed owl, and named her Zhaozhao, Caicai, Jinjin, and Baobao.
Mi Jiu peeked at her, and saw that she didn't seem to be angry, so he quietly put his heart back into his stomach, and this topic was not mentioned for the time being.
There was no oil lamp in the house, and Qi Jiu and Hu Yan sat like this.
Mi Jiu wanted to find a topic to break the silence, so he spoke: "That...... Ask you something. You are so powerful, why do you refuse to leave with me? With the past few days of getting along, he can also understand a little bit that Hu Yan is not here for him.
Mi Jiu thought that Hu Yan would not answer, and didn't want her to open her mouth and reply: "I answered someone." ”
"Who?" Mi Jiu was very puzzled and displeased, not knowing who she had promised, so she avoided Qu Nanyi's pursuit and insisted on returning to this dangerous place. Although some people have said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, Qu Nanyi is so cunning, the baby is definitely not safe under his nose.
Hu Yan said lightly: "Fenghua." ”
"Shhh...... Feng ...... Phoenix?! When did you answer her? Be...... Did you kill her? No, no, no, I think it's more like Yan Delin did it. Mi Jiu felt a little cold, so cold that his mouth stammered.
Hu Yan raised his eyes to look at Mi Jiu, and spit out two words gloomily: "It's me." ”
is a simple two words, but it scared Mi Jiu a lot.
At first, he suspected that she did this, but later, looking at Yan Delin's ghostly appearance, he felt that the person who killed Fenghua was more like Yan Delin. At this moment, hearing Hu Yan admit that he had killed Fenghua, he only felt a cold air rushing towards his limbs. In addition to fear, there is also an unexplained disappointment. He didn't believe she was a murderer, but she did. Without the slightest hesitation, he simply recognized it, and he was single.
For a while, Mi Jiu didn't know what to say. After all, it was a human life that was once alive. Even if he doesn't like Fenghua, he doesn't want her to die like that, and ...... Died so miserably.
There was something wrong in Mi Jiu's heart. He began to wonder why she stayed here and used means to intimidate Yan Delin? Is it true that she has this bad taste? Watching others scream in pain will make you feel comfortable?
Mi Jiu had insomnia.
In the courtyard, after the rats had extinguished the torches, they gnawed the heads of the torches so that they disappeared without a trace at dawn. If it weren't for the dozens of charred mouse carcasses lying on the ground, and Yan Delin being gnawed beyond recognition, it would have been as if nothing had happened.
