Ji Mingxiu looked at her subconsciously. This was a woman dressed as a hunter. She was dressed plainly, had beautiful silver hair, and had a cool temperament.
And when Ji Mingxiu looked at her, she also subconsciously looked at Ji Mingxiu.
Ji Mingxiu was wearing a plain white cloak, with a tall and straight figure, a clear demeanor, black hair like black ink, a face like jade, and a cold jade mask.
Her gaze fell on the mask, and Ji Mingxiu's gaze fell on her face, both of them paused slightly for some inexplicable reason.
Seeing Ji Mingxiu coming, Qiao Wei smiled happily, "Mingxiu, are you here?"
Ji Mingxiu let go of his hand and looked at Qiao Wei, suppressing the strangeness that had just come to his mind, he stroked Qiao Wei's cold face, looked her up and down, and asked softly with his eyes: "How are you?"
Qiao Wei rubbed against his palm, and said with a slight smile: "I'm fine." After finishing speaking, she was surprised that her mother-in-law was still standing beside her. Such a gesture seemed too intimate, so she coughed lightly and pressed down lightly. He took Ji Mingxiu's hand on her cheek.
But Ji Mingxiu was unwilling to let go, and held her hand tightly again.
The woman's gaze was always on Ji Mingxiu. Qiao Wei glanced at the woman, and seeing that she seemed to be a little curious, she hurriedly explained to her, "Mother-in-law, this is my husband, Ji Mingxiu."
Then he said to Ji Ming, "This is the mother-in-law who took me in and Little General Mu. I have been staying at her house for the past two days. By the way, Xiuqin is also here."
Ji Mingxiu nodded slightly, gently released Qiao Wei's hand, turned to look at the woman, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your kindness, mother-in-law."
Qiao Wei's heart couldn't help but move a little. This is the prime minister with great power and the supreme priest of the Yin tribe, but he is willing to bend his noble waist to a hunter in the deep mountains for her.
The woman looked at Ji Mingxiu, and a trace of emotion that even felt strange to herself flashed in her eyes. She was not used to this kind of emotion, so she picked up the hairpin in her hand and said, "It's nothing more than a little effort, this hairpin..."
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "The hairpin belongs to my mother-in-law. It fell out of the quilt cover. I just picked it up and before I put it back, something happened here."
I wanted to ask you where this hairpin came from, but they just saved the lives of several of them, so if she asks this again, does it seem that she is too heartless? It seems to be suspecting that someone else's hairpin came from a wrong way.
The woman squeezed the hairpin in her hand: "Since your husband is here, you should go back with him quickly, that girl belongs to your family too, so take it with you."
After finishing speaking, he clenched the hairpin in his hand, turned around and left the place.
Ji Mingxiu looked at her lonely back, unable to take his eyes off for a long time.
…
On the way to the cabin, Yan Feijue chattered about the woman: "... Where is she from? Why does she seem to be very powerful? How does she know how to deal with those people..."
It's a pity that Qiao Wei only came two days earlier than him, and she didn't even know what her mother-in-law's name was, so where could she ask her where she was from
The group soon arrived at the cabin, but the woman didn't come back, only Xiuqin stayed at home and guarded General Mu.
Xiuqin saw the three of Ji Mingxiu and stepped forward excitedly: "Master Prime Minister! Hero Yan! Hero Hai!"
On the way here, Qiao Wei had already told the three of them about Xiuqin and her experience of coming here one after another. She said that she never expected that Xiuqin, who had been missing for a long time, would be here. They climbed down from the cliff desperately. Yes, that girl Xiuqin was lucky enough to get here by accident even after being hunted down by the dead.
Thanks to being here, otherwise no one would have rescued Qiao Wei. It was freezing, and before they could find her, both Qiao Wei and General Mu would have frozen to death in the snow.
But then again, Xiuqin took a different route to get here, and Qiao Wei was hit on the head and fell off. Why is there nothing wrong except for a slight scratch
This doubt was answered when he saw the half-dead General Mu.
Yan Feijue rubbed his nose resentfully, and said to Ji Mingxiu who was beside him: "You must have a sense of crisis, because of your daughter-in-law, they risked their lives."
Ji Mingxiu gave Yan Fei a cold look, and Yan Fei walked out with his eyes on the sky and the earth.
Ji Mingxiu came to the bed, looked at the unconscious General Mu, and said coldly, "Don't worry, no matter what the cost, the truth will definitely cure you."
I won't give you a chance to sell miserably in front of Xiaowei!
Qiao Wei's clothes had been dried, she changed into her own clothes, took the worn ones to the backyard for washing, Xiuqin also changed the woman's clothes, even if she knew that her mother-in-law didn't need them to return these clothes, but It feels inappropriate to take it away like this.
After tidying up the clothes, Qiao Wei went to the kitchen to cook the girl's last supper. Ji Mingxiu followed her into the kitchen and gave her a hand.
Finished, the woman still did not come back.
As a woman, Qiao Wei was not worried about what would happen to her, she just didn't like four, five, six, seven or eight strange men in the room, so she avoided it far away.
"Is everything packed?" Qiao Wei asked Xiuqin.
Xiuqin nodded: "It's all over, are you leaving now, young madam? Don't wait for mother-in-law? Won't you speak to her personally?"
Qiao Wei sighed: "She didn't want to see us, so she didn't come back on purpose. If we don't leave, she has to stand outside. It's so cold, let her come back earlier."
Xiuqin has lived with her mother-in-law for so long, and what Qiao Wei said is not unreasonable. With her mother-in-law's temperament, she is really not used to having so many people in the room, and they are all men: "My mother-in-law is not human on the surface, but she is quite good at it." Considered."
At least they didn't drive away these strangers, but avoided them by themselves.
To be honest, Qiao Wei likes this mother-in-law very much. Some people treat you with care in face, but they are even more "careful" when stabbing a knife in secret.
"Leaving mother-in-law here alone... I feel uncomfortable." Xiuqin lowered her head and said.
Qiao Wei sighed when she thought of her mother-in-law living alone in this deep mountain and old forest.
"So, can't you just stay overnight?" Yan Feijue asked, "It's very dangerous to walk at night!"
Hai Shisan stabbed him with his elbow: "You are stupid, we just killed so many dead soldiers and disciples of the Holy Church, do you think the Holy Church didn't notice? Believe it or not, they are already on their way? We stay behind Here, it will only kill all the mountain people here."
Yan Feijue thought about it for a reason. Although there are not many mountain people here, they are all simple and honest people. If they are implicated because of their relationship, it will be too embarrassing.
Turning his mind, he said to the six accompanying guards: "You guys, go and carry the corpse outside."
The six guards went hurriedly.
Not long after, the ghost king came back.
The ghost king is going to deal with those poisonous bodies and dead men, they have already seen this place, if they are allowed to return to the holy religion, this place will be exposed.
After getting ready, the Ghost King carried Little General Mu on his back, and the guards carried the corpses of those people on their backs. Following Ji Mingxiu and his party, they walked silently into the mountains.
Watching the backs of a group of people gradually disappearing into the snow, the woman walked out slowly from behind a big tree holding a bow.
She looked back and quietly returned to the house.
Everything in the house is the same as before. She has lived like this for so many years, and she has already become numb.
She went to the kitchen, and there were still unfinished sparks in the stove, and the pot was steaming.
She opened the lid of the pot, and a scent of food wafted into her nostrils. The half-killed hare had turned into a pot of delicious braised rabbit meat.
In the steamer, steamed side dishes and a few white flour steamed buns.
She covered the pot and returned to the empty main room.
Already numb, this moment, but suddenly feel lonely.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.
The woman's eyes moved slightly, she stepped forward, and slowly opened the door.
Outside the house, heavy snow fell again at some point. Ji Mingxiu stared at the snowstorm, stood at the door panting, exhaled clouds of white air from his mouth, fixedly looked at her and said: " Have you seen someone? Her name is Yunzhu."
The woman's eyes trembled: "You..."
Ji Mingxiu raised his hand and slowly took off the mask on his face.
