The red lady with a smile

how is this possible! ?

Xuan Qing instinctively denied what he said, this is too ridiculous, how could the dignified young master of the Wei Mansion have something to do with bandits!

Seeming to see his surprise, Zimo laughed, "Strange, isn't it? But you don't have to doubt..." As he spoke, he jumped off the main seat and slowly approached Xuan Qing.

At this time, his appearance gradually came into Xuan Qing's eyes. To Xuan Qing's surprise, this person seemed to be young, even a few years younger than himself. There are three parallel scars from animal injuries, and the eyes are piercing. Even when he smiles and shows his canine teeth, it is still scary.

"Huh?" Zi Mo was halfway through talking, and the topic he wanted to continue suddenly stopped there. Xuan Qing was looking at him, and he was also looking at Xuan Qing, with a trace of doubt on his face, "It's strange, where are we? have met before?"

"Ah? No, I don't know you." Xuan Qing thought he was planning something again, and quickly denied it. In fact, he didn't have any impression of Zimo, so he wasn't lying.

But Zimo didn't let him go, he stroked his chin and asked again: "What's your name?"

"Xuan Qing."

"Xuan... Qing?" Zi Mo closed his eyes and recalled, frowned, and seemed to have no relevant memory, "Strange, did I remember wrong? But forget it, no matter who you are, you have something to do with Wei Chengluo anyway, That's your bad luck!"

Some threatening words are enough to explain his original intention, but Xuan Qing didn't understand why he was so hostile to A Luo, but he was taken out without getting an answer. This time, he didn't go back to the room directly. Instead of being imprisoned in a hut, he was taken to another hut that looked decent.

"Go in. The woman said she won't cooperate with us unless she sees you. The boss is known to be considerate to women, so he agreed if he didn't want to hurt her."

As he spoke, the man pushed Xuan Qing into the room, before Xuan Qing had time to digest, the door was closed, and another fact appeared in front of his eyes in a blink of an eye.

"Master Xuan Qing."

When a familiar female voice came, Xuan Qing took a closer look, she was indeed Wan Yue girl, but she lacked the usual arrogance and disdain, and now she is as tactful and pleasant as when we met.

"Miss Wanyue, are you okay? Where's Xiao Cui?" Xuan Qing asked.

Wan Yue shook her head, glanced at the room and said: "Xiao Cui was frightened. She took them back to the Wei Mansion by herself before and blamed herself. Now she is exhausted, so I let her rest inside. I'm fine, they There is no disrespect to me, but you, son..."

"Ah, I'm fine." Xuan Qing quickly explained, not wanting to make her worry too much. "Miss Wan Yue, don't worry too much. Be careful about the children in your womb. I think their ultimate goal is money. They will be fine when A Luo comes back."

Wan Yue frowned lightly when she heard the words, and glanced at Xuan Qing, she suddenly said: "Master, although we are in a dangerous situation now, it is really a place where we can avoid the eyes and ears of the Wei family, there are some things I want to say to you. "

"what?"

"It's about Master Luo..."

"Ah Luo? What's wrong with him?" Xuan Qing asked strangely, "Didn't he send Mr. Han back?"

"That's right, but that's not what I want to say. I just want to remind you that some things may not be true even if you see them with your own eyes. Please be careful." Wan Yueyu said earnestly.

Seeing that her serious attitude did not seem to be joking, Xuan Qing couldn't help feeling suspicious, "You mean..."

"I don't want to say more, but you still remember the fact that your identity was found out by the Wei family back then?"

"...!"

"I also remember the way the young master looked at me at that time. The young master must think that I have revealed these past events for the sake of being the mistress of Wei Mansion, right?"

"This……"

Xuan Qing thinks so, and it has not changed until now.

"Then if I say, that day when I listened to others' orders, I was just acting, can you believe me, my lord?"

"How is it possible!?" Xuan Qing instinctively denied.

Wan Yue took a look at him, seeing his face turning pale, she understood what he was feeling in her heart.

These days, although she and Xuan Qing didn't get along very long, judging from his attitude towards A Luo, he knew some things clearly, and if he really wanted to say it, it would be very cruel.

"My lord, I don't know. I grew up in an opera troupe before I became my wife's maid, and I am very proficient at acting in every scene. Now selling myself as a slave is also an advantage, and Master Luo is also interested in me. That’s all.” Wan Yue spoke eloquently.

Xuan Qing was startled when he heard the words. He couldn't deny her words, so he had to say with difficulty: "So...you were also found by Aluo...are you one of the substitutes?"

Wan Yue was a little surprised by his words, did he know it?

"Master Xuan Qing is also a sensible person." She was obviously relieved in her words, "I see that you are attached to Master Luo, and thought..."

Yes, he used to think he understood, but now he wasn't sure.

"I'm fine, thank you Wan Yue for reminding me." Xuan Qing restrained his emotions, took a deep breath and replied, "Actually, Ah Luo doesn't need to bother to guard me so much, I really don't mean to pester him hard."

"I think Young Master Luo must have seen through that you like him, and made this move because he was afraid that you would change your mind."

Once emotions are involved, people will be fickle. A Luo's move is not unreasonable. Xuan Qing can't blame him, but he can't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Girl's kindness, Xuan Qing accepts it with all her heart." Bowing slightly to Wan Yue, Xuan Qing chose to bury her thoughts in her heart, "I also hope that the girl will take good care of her body, even if A Luo is not sincere, but he loves you Your responsibilities are different from mine, so don't worry too much."

To comfort Wan Yue, Xuan Qing didn't tell her what Zi Mo said before, it's better for pregnant women not to know too much, and judging from the current situation, Zi Mo won't embarrass her, so don't worry for now.

Later, when she returned to her darkened room, Xuan Qing didn't care about the difference, and immediately fell down on the previous pile of straw, lying like that, not wanting to move any more.

In a short period of time, he got too many answers and truths, which made it hard for him to accept. While lying down and sorting out slowly, A Luo basically had a clue. In fact, he was afraid that he would haunt him in the future , So I came up with such a thing, and there is a normal reason to separate in the future.On Zimo's side, Xuanqing couldn't figure it out. His hostility was so deep that Aluo must have offended him greatly, but no matter how Xuanqing assumed, he couldn't find a connection between the two. Could he find Wrong person?

All kinds of doubts could not be explained. Thinking that Xuan Qing lost his patience later, he simply stopped thinking about it. After eating the food and water sent by the bandits, he decided to wait. Even if A Luo didn't come to rescue him, But Wan Yue is pregnant with his child, he will always come to save her.

Holding such hope, Xuan Qing patiently waited in the cottage.These bandits didn't make things difficult for him. Although he couldn't see Wan Yue, Xuan Qing could eat enough every day, and he could go out of the dark room for a walk during the day, and someone was in charge of watching him.

On the first day of the incident, A Luo did not come, on the second day, A Luo still did not come, on the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day... Day by day, until about ten days passed, One day at noon, the person in charge of Xuanqing opened his room ahead of time and took him out.

Xuan Qing was puzzled, and asked curiously, and the answer he got was——Ah Luo is here!

Hearing this news, Xuan Qing's heart was more than half relieved, and he quickened his pace unconsciously, but when he walked in front of A Luo, the excitement and excitement dissipated in an instant, and he... regretted it.

In the village hall, Wan Yue was already waiting there first, she was the first person A Luo saw, and now they were standing side by side, Xiao Cui followed closely, although there was no words, but the scene was clear and clear But no matter how you look at it, it's uncomfortable.

When A Luo saw Xuan Qing coming, he didn't make any big moves, just glanced at him lightly, and nodded to him as a gesture of goodwill.

"Ah, it's touching to reunite with my wife and concubine, isn't it? Master Luo!" At this moment, Zi Mo who was sitting beside him suddenly spoke.

Xuan Qing was taken aback, but saw that A Luo turned to Zi Mo with an indescribably indifferent expression.

Zimo was not frightened by this, but laughed loudly, not afraid of A Luo's eyes, "Why is this expression? Could it be that Master Luo still can't make a choice?"

choose?

This strange word caught my ears, and Xuan Qing was a little puzzled. He looked at A Luo with a puzzled expression.

A Luo frowned, glanced at Wan Yue, then turned to look at Xuan Qing, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Ah, look at my memory!" Zimo looked at them, slapped his head, pretending to be sober, "It's the second time we met, but I'm still so forgetful... Well, if Master Luo chooses well, he doesn't have to. Said, just drag the person away, and I will stay in the cottage and "love" the rest. "As he spoke, he licked his lips lewdly, which made it even more shocking to watch.

Xuan Qing didn't understand what was going on at first, but he didn't confirm that the two had met before after hearing what they said, but now A Luo is facing the problem of choosing one of the two.

Without panic or entanglement, he chose to wink at A Luo. Some things he wanted to say were ultimately unable to be uttered, and then he looked at Wan Yue standing beside him. At this moment, it was meaningless to choose anything.Lowering his head wisely, Xuan Qing didn't want others to see the loss and gloom in his eyes, so he closed his eyes silently, quietly waiting for his own ending.

A Luo frowned tightly, his attention was always on Xuan Qing. After thinking for a moment, he still held Moon's hand and asked Xiao Cui to follow, and the three of them walked out of the village hall together.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Xuan Qing slowly opened his eyes, not to say that he was desperate, but the damage was still there.Faced with such a situation, he wanted to pretend to be okay and laugh it off, but he could deceive others but not himself—he was still abandoned by his beloved.

As the footsteps near his ears gradually faded away until they disappeared, Xuan Qing's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. He felt a bit stinging in his eye sockets, and wanted to cry but the tears couldn't fall.

Seeing this scene, Zimo on the side couldn't stop laughing, and even the thieves around him also echoed, and the ear-piercing laughter was endless.

"Hahahaha...that dumb young master really chose, well, he is really ruthless!"

"I think he is afraid of our boss and our village. Have you seen that? How fast he led that bitch just now!"

"But it's reasonable. If I were me, I would of course choose a soft and tender wife to go back. This concubine is tough, has been stabbed too much, and is also a sissy. She is not a man or a woman. It is really disgusting!"

"Hey, it's not the same when you go to bed!"

"Hey...then according to what the boss said, tonight..."

Hearing these obscene words, Xuan Qing bit her lips. He was originally a man who grew up with men, so he has no right to refute their words, he can only let them insult him.

Just when those thieves were trying to start messing with Xuan Qingmao, Zi Mo, the leader, suddenly stopped smiling and said, "Wait a minute, don't touch him!"

"Boss!?"

Zi Mo stood up, grabbed Xuan Qing's arm and pulled him aside, then announced: "Don't touch him, if you don't obey orders, be careful I will castrate him!" After speaking, he pulled Xuan Qing to the other side. walk around the room.

Xuan Qing was very surprised by his words and deeds, and the thieves were also very surprised. Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, they were all puzzled.

"What's the matter, Boss? You were smiling so proudly just now, why did you..."

"Shouldn't you be looking at this again?"

"...Probably not!"

Not to mention that the bandits found it strange, even Xuan Qing couldn't believe it. The man who threatened A Luo just now seemed to be a different person. Although he was still domineering and rude, he didn't seem to have any bad intentions towards himself.

Zi Mo pulled Xuan Qing into another room, closed the door, and just when Xuan Qing thought he was about to do something, that party suddenly threw a small bundle over.

Xuan Qing took the burden, still curious about what it is, only to hear Zi Mo say: "It seems that you are also quite unlucky, just choose whatever you like here and take it away."

The bag was opened, and Xuan Qing suddenly found that it was full of valuables looted from the Wei Mansion, most of them were jade pendants, and even the set of safety locks that A Luo bought before was in it.

"This is……"

Xuan Qing took out the set of safety locks, Zi Mo thought he wanted this, but he didn't care, and said: "The words just now were just words, I'm a rough person, don't worry about it."

His tone seemed to have changed, and the impression he gave was different from the first time we met. Xuan Qing saw him scratching his head from time to time, and sometimes winking, like an active big child, which was very interesting.

"Do you... have something to say to me?"

Seeing more people, Xuan Qing is also somewhat self-conscious. For example, now, he feels that there seems to be something unspeakable about Zi Mo.

Hearing his question, Zimo pinched the bridge of his nose, a little embarrassed, but after a short pause, he still replied: "Well... it's about the previous thing, I'm a little... sorry."

Xuan Qing didn't expect that the thief leader would apologize to him, and it was difficult to react for a while.

Zimo didn't care, and continued: "Before you were involved with Wei, I didn't like it, but now...although I forced you, you, I mean you and Wei, at least have distinguished each other. There are no boundaries, so don’t take those unreasonable words to heart.”

He had indeed angered Xuan Qing and Wan Yue because of A Luo before, but now that the little revenge was completed, he was naturally more than half awake, and felt that he shouldn't insult Xuan Qing so much, so he came to apologize.

"But to be honest, that guy surnamed Wei is really not a good person. Don't worry that he didn't choose you. It's your luck." There was something in his words, but Xuan Qing didn't catch the clue.

Rubbing the box in his hand, Xuan Qing looked at Zi Mo in a daze, and he asked a question that had troubled him for a long time: "Why do you hate A Luo so much?"

It's not hate, it's hate!

From the change of Zi Mo's attitude towards him, Xuan Qing can see that the hostility towards A Luo is naked hatred, which is extremely persistent.

Zi Mo was not angry when he heard the words, he also looked at Xuan Qing, facing that innocent expression, finally he couldn't help but sighed, sat on a chair beside him and said: "He killed my brothers!"

"...!"

I thought I would hear the story later, but I didn't want Zimo to stop it, and then said: "Those things have nothing to do with you, it's better for you to know less, if you know too much, I'm afraid you will be silenced."

The more he said that, the more curious Xuan Qing became, but after seeing Zi Mo's expression gradually deepened, he couldn't ask some words.

While hesitating, Zi Mo came back to his senses. He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, opened his mouth and smiled at Xuan Qing: "What are you going to do next? Go down the mountain? Or... stay here? "

What are you doing here?Bandits?Just him?

Xuan Qing was a little hard to imagine, slightly withdrew the corners of his mouth, and finally shook his head.

"You want to go back to Wei's mansion?" Zi Mo felt disgusted, "The surname Wei treats you so well, why do you want to go back?"

"Where is my stuff, and... you have seen it too, I am no threat to A Luo at all, and he will send me away after a while." Xuan Qing explained.

The so-called people have their own ambitions, and Zimo didn't force him, and he was willing to let him go down the mountain without hesitation. Xuan Qing was secretly surprised by such agility.

But after a while, he added: "Ugly words first, I let you go this time because of your good looks, and because you were dumped by Wei before, if I see you again next time, I will still be with you." Wei's relationship is unclear, so don't blame me for getting angry again."

This person is also interesting. He is obviously not a heinous person, but his mouth is very bad, and his actions are also ambiguous. No wonder the people in the town are so helpless towards him.

Of course, I can only think about these in my heart, Xuan Qing didn't say anything.Since Zi Mo said he wanted to release him, no one in the cottage would say anything, everyone kept their doubts in their hearts, so Xuan Qing left the cottage that afternoon with that set of safety locks.

Speaking of the return journey was quite dramatic, because Xuanqing didn't know the way down the mountain, so Zimo wanted to find someone in the village to show him the way, but after looking around, they were all fierce and fierce, none of them Right, at this time, Xuanqing's luck came, a confused delivery man came to the gate of the cottage, he heard that he was a novice, so he ran to the gate of the cottage out of nowhere, and he was counting on the bandits in the cottage I was kind enough to show him the way, so I came to knock on the stockade to ask the way.

It just so happened that there was someone to do it for him, so there was no need to worry too much about other things, Zimo immediately asked someone to give the delivery man a map of the mountain road, and then pushed Xuan Qing to him. He was a good person and asked him to send Xuan Qing down the mountain.

The delivery man was a good man in a daze, he agreed without saying a word, kindly let Xuan Qing sit in his wooden cart and sent him down the mountain.

Probably because the map of the mountain road is very clear, the delivery man on the return journey was not ambiguous at all, he walked straight down the mountain all the way, he didn't take any money, and insisted on sending Xuan Qing to the door of Wei Mansion, and then said goodbye to Xuan Qing.

Such a good person is rare, Xuan Qing thanked him again and again, and he didn't turn around and enter the house until that person left.

He was worrying about how to explain his return to A Luo, but he didn't expect that a bigger surprise was waiting for him as soon as he stepped into the mansion.

Uncle Zhong was standing guard at the door with a worried face. When he saw Xuan Qing returning safely, he almost burst into tears with excitement. He hurried up to ask questions, but the point was that what he asked was not Xuan Qing, but A Luo.

"Master Xuanqing, you are back! Are you all right? Did those mountain thieves make things difficult for you? Where are you young master, young master? This old slave has been waiting here for almost a day, why did you come back at this time!"

He was a little incoherent, and Xuan Qing was even more inexplicable, "Uncle Zhong, I, I came back alone, Ah Luo and the others should have come back early...why, haven't you seen them?"

"In advance? You mean young master..." Uncle Zhong was also taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, I've been staying here all day and haven't seen them all day."

"...!"

what happened?A Luo clearly left early with Wan Yue, he saw it with his own eyes, but Uncle Zhong said that they didn't come back, so... where did they go! ?

At this time, Zimo's words from before resurfaced in his ears again, Xuan Qing was taken aback suddenly, and hurriedly said to Uncle Zhong: "It's not good, something may have happened to them, Uncle Zhong, find some people..."

Just as he was speaking, there were three more figures at the gate of the mansion. Xuan Qing was a little relieved to see them, but he couldn't ignore the abnormalities on them.

A Luo, Wan Yue, and Xiao Cui are all quite a few, but they are all different from what Xuan Qing saw in the morning. A Luo had a few wounds on his arms. There was a lot of dust, and Xiaocui, who was following them, was crying and choking, her hands were scratched and skinned, and she looked very embarrassed.

"Master!" Seeing this, Uncle Zhong quickly stepped forward to support A Luo, and he did not forget to remind the other servants in the family loudly to find the doctor.

A Luo was not seriously injured, but hearing his rapid breathing, Xuan Qing guessed that what he encountered was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Reunited again, there was no words between the two, A Luo still gave him a faint glance, then lowered his head, and was carried back to the house by others, and Xuan Qing was also full of embarrassing contradictions, what did he want to say?How should I say it?

It's a blessing in disguise. No one would have thought that the people A Luo took away were ambushed, while Xuan Qing, who was left behind, returned home safely.

Xuan Qing originally wanted to go up to ask about A Luo's injury, but seeing a group of people waiting around him, including Wan Yue, she knew that there was no place for him, so she shook her head silently, and he still chose to leave.

No one cared about his existence, so naturally no one followed him. He went back to the house alone, and lay down on the bed decadently. Displeasure, unhappiness, unwillingness, and dissatisfaction all turned into fatigue and hit Xuan Qing. After a while, he He fell asleep in a daze, and slept until night. When he woke up, there was no sound of people outside. Xuan Qing yawned and got up slowly. Only then did he notice that he hadn't bathed and changed clothes, so he worked on his own. I went to the kitchen to prepare water and boil water, and it took a lot of effort to clean myself up.

After taking a shower and sleeping on the bed, Xuan Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking about whether to talk to A Luo tomorrow, suddenly, his lower abdomen twitched, and a faint throbbing pain struck him.

"What's going on?" Xuan Qing frowned, the first thing that came to mind was that something had been eaten.

So he put on his coat and went to the toilet, but the strange thing was that he didn't feel like going to the toilet. Although the stomach pain was real, it seemed that this pain was not the usual kind.

Xuan Qing, who was full of doubts, had to hold his aching stomach and go back to the house. Although it was the vernal equinox, the night was still a bit chilly, probably because the coolness invaded his body. Then there was a burst of throbbing pain, which became more frequent.

Xuan Qing took a few deep breaths, and secretly told himself to be calm, don't disturb others at night, he wanted to make it through the night like this, but as time passed, his brows were gradually furrowed, cold sweat covered his forehead, no matter what the pain Can't get over it.

Shouldn't he just die like this!

Xuan Qing was afraid, but he didn't dare to shout loudly. At this moment, the first thing he thought of was A Luo.

A Luo is not very old, but he is Xuan Qing's only support in the outside world, his husband, his love...

No matter what the pain is, Xuan Qing only knows that he wants to see A Luo very urgently!

At this juncture, Xuan Qing gritted his teeth, stood up with his body supported, and without knowing where the strength came from, he moved slowly towards A Luo's room step by step.

In a trance, the pain occupied Xuan Qing's thoughts, he couldn't feel his movements or anything else, he only thought about the pain in his stomach, and he didn't know how he got into A Luo's room, he only knew that the moment the door opened, He yelled: "Alo...help me, it hurts..."

Afterwards, there was no consciousness at all.
