"Wen Yi, you don't seem to be looking well today." I touched my face when I heard this, looked at Yu Ning's serious face and asked, "Really?"
She nodded heavily, and asked with concern: "Did you not sleep well last night?" I will give you a box of rouge, after you apply it, your complexion will be ruddy and more beautiful!"
I grabbed her and stopped her: "It's dangerous outside, you can't go out!"
She looked at me with a disappointed face, and we looked at each other silently for a while, then she suddenly lifted her spirits and said, "How about this, let's not go far, just take a stroll nearby, it's broad daylight, it's so lively outside, it's broad daylight What can happen below!"
I still shook my head very principled, and said firmly: "You are just right, you need to cultivate for a few more days, and Liang Yi will not agree with you to go out."
"That's why I discussed it with you quietly. If we don't tell my brother, we will be back in a while, and he won't find out!" She pulled me to the window, looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, and said, "Look, the downstairs It's so lively, let's go down and have a look, and we'll be back in a while, okay? I'm going to get sick from boredom if I stay in this room all the time."
Under Yu Ning's repeated attacks, I still compromised. I was dragged downstairs by her and walked around a nearby stall. She carefully selected a box of rouge and gave it to me. She took the rouge with a brush, blew lightly on the tip of the hair, and swipe it on my cheek a few times, then looked at me and praised sincerely: "It's so beautiful."
Walking around, I finally realized that we had gone a little far, and I pulled Yu Ning and said, "Let's go back!" She thought about it, then smiled at me and said, "Okay."
Yu Ning followed me with a candied haws. I was not in the mood to eat it, so I just dragged her back. Suddenly, a crowd gathered in front of me, and someone shouted loudly, followed by deafening drumming.
"What are you doing up front? It's so lively!" Yu Ning became excited again, she broke free from my hand and ran forward.
"Wait for me!" I called her name loudly, but she slipped into the crowd. I started to feel uneasy, and ran into the crowd anxiously looking for her figure. The sound of drums exploded in my ears. Suddenly, I vaguely heard a familiar voice. I turned my head and saw Yu Ning smiling not far away. Waving at me, I breathed a sigh of relief, walked around the crowd and walked towards her. After walking a few steps and looking up, I found that she disappeared in place as if she had evaporated from the world.
I shouted her name loudly, but no one responded to me. The sound of drums mixed with applause resounded all around, drowning my shouting and crying. Until the crowd dispersed, the sky darkened, and the street became deserted, I still couldn't find Yu Ning, she disappeared...
I didn't dare to imagine how Liang Yi would react when he found out. I didn't dare to go back. Looking at the people collecting stalls next to me, I asked unwillingly, "Did you see the girl with me?"
The aunt who was closing the stall was so annoyed by the question, she amplified the volume and shouted at me: "You have asked me a dozen times, and I said I didn't see it!"
I wiped my tears and stood helplessly on the street unwilling to leave. I don't know how long it took before a familiar voice came from behind me. I walked over following the sound, threw myself into Li Sha's arms, and cried, "I lost Yu Ning, I deserve to die. She must have been taken away by the Jiang family, what to do... blame me .”
Li Sha patted me on the back and comforted me: "Don't worry, let's go back first and discuss with Liang Yi how to save people."
I stopped where I was, and said with a sad face: "I don't want to go back, I'm afraid."
"If you don't go back, Liang Yi will also come. I will come out with him, and he will find here soon." Li Sha patted my head and comforted me softly: "Don't cry, Wen Yi."
I leaned against Li Sha's arms and walked back. From a distance, I saw Liang Yi standing at the door. I didn't dare to look closely, and shrank into Li Sha's arms. After walking for a while, I followed Li Sha's pace and stood still, and I heard Liang Yi ask, "Where's Yu Ning?"
Li Sha said: "She was taken away by the Jiang family, don't worry, we..."
Suddenly, I felt an external force coming, Liang Yi pulled me aside, he looked at me and asked word by word: "Wen Yi, let me ask you, where is Yu Ning?"
I started crying again, Liang Yi yelled at me with a tense face: "Didn't I tell you to watch her carefully? Why did you take her out?"
Li Sha hugged me into his arms, amplified his voice and said to Liang Yi: "She is already very guilty, what's the use of blaming her? Now I just have to figure out how to save her!"
Liang Yi turned around and walked in, I followed him timidly, suddenly a child's voice came from behind, we looked back, and saw a little boy handing a letter to Li Sha, and then ran away in a blink of an eye.
Li Sha opened the letter, and I saw his expression became more and more serious, even gloomy, I asked, "What is written in the letter?" He suddenly crumpled the letter, I looked at his clenched fist, A little dazed.
Liang Yi stepped forward to take the ball of paper, and I cautiously moved it over while looking at it. The letter turned out to be from the Jiang family. Their work efficiency is really fast. I sneered a few times in my heart, and continued to read the letter. Go... Liang Yi flicked his credibility away from my sight, I stared at him blankly, my mind went blank for a moment, and I felt heroic again.
"I saw it." I looked at Liang Yi and said, he didn't look at me, I heard him swearing, and his expression was a little painful.
The letter said that they had cast a Gu technique on Yu Ning, and they would release her only if they exchanged her with me and transferred her Gu to me. At that time, as long as I marry Jiang Zixian, they will get rid of the Gu on my body, and the Jiang family will also promise to treat me kindly.
I closed my eyes and said softly, "I lost Yu Ning, so let me find her back."
"No." Li Sha interrupted me without even thinking about it. His eyes were painful and stern, his hands tightly held my shoulders, and he said to me, "Wen Yi, you can't go."
"If I don't go, the Gu technique on Yu Ning's body will not get rid of, and I can't just watch her die." I broke away from Li Sha, walked to Liang Yi, and said with a forced smile: "This time, let me do it for you." Let your own troubles end."
Liang Yi looked up at me and remained silent. I was about to turn around when he suddenly said, "Let's go together."
Li Sha handed me an object, I opened it, and found that it was an accessory I wore when I was a child. The last time I saw it was in Yu Shang's hands when I was at Liu's house.
Li Sha said to me: "I redeemed it before I found you in the back mountain of Wenfu. You are wearing it. I hope this time it can bless you and save you from danger."
They came to Jiang's house with me. The house is not big, and the orientation is not good. The inner room is always dark. We were led to the door of Mrs. Jiang's room by the servants, and an old voice came from the house: " You can come in alone."
As soon as I raised my foot and wanted to go in, Li Sha grabbed my wrist, his pupils constricted, and he was a little nervous, I pretended to be relaxed and smiled at him, when I entered the door my hands couldn't stop shaking, suddenly I feel that these few steps I have taken are extremely heroic.
"Here we come." Mrs. Jiang looked up at me in the dim light, then nodded in relief, and said to me, "You are the granddaughter-in-law I want most."
I was sweating coldly on my forehead, but I still looked at her impartially and asked, "Why?"
"You are more beautiful than that girl. When I see you, it reminds me of something from the past." She fell into memories as she spoke, her expression was sometimes happy and sometimes sad. After a while, she sighed leisurely and murmured : "You will make up for the regret in my heart, maybe this is God's will..."
"I don't understand what you're talking about, I just want to know, when will you let Yu Ning go?" I looked at her fixedly and asked.
"Follow me." She coughed a few times, and stood up tremblingly on crutches. Seeing this, I stood still. She glanced at me and said in a commanding tone: "Come and help me."
She opened the small door of the room, and I followed her in. The door was gloomy and empty, and there was a man dressed as a priest sitting quietly at the table. He looked about sixty years old, with a long beard, black and white. Miscellaneous, with a calm expression, he was gently blowing on the cup of hot tea in his hand, and the mist dispersed slightly.
I looked away and suddenly saw Yu Ning lying on the bed beside me. I ran over to push her body hard and shouted her name, but she remained motionless.
"The exchange is worth it." The bearded old man stroked his beard and said with a chuckle.
"Yi San, I'm sorry to trouble you."
After Mrs. Jiang's voice fell, the old Taoist had already walked in front of me and covered my head with his palm. I held the pendant around my neck tightly, and the old man kept chanting spells, I felt half awake and half in a trance, my head was about to burst, I thought of Li Sha and Liang Yi who were still outside the door, I wanted to call them, but I didn't have the energy to shout.
