Chapter 21: I Care About Her Life! (1)
Bai Lian decided to go with Yu Ying.
Anyway, she has nothing else to do.
And Yu Ying lived not far from Tianyi City, just on the way.
Yu Ying hesitated and finally agreed.
Is this a pleasant surprise?
She feels comfortable with Bai Lian.
Take this journey as comfort before leaving, and just use that sweet taste to enrich her empty heart.
When the dawn light cut through the long night, Bai Lian lit almost all the firewood in the front hall.
She stood up.
"Let's go."
Yu Ying followed Bai Lian closely.
When she came out of the front hall, she looked back and saw that the buildings in the whole manor began to sink as if they had fallen on the mud.
Miraculously, such a big fire didn't cause any smoke.
It's An Yue!
Yu Ying immediately realized.
She hurriedly asked, "Those who are left in the house…"
"I killed them all!"
Bai Lian's face was as calm as autumn water.
No joy, no sorrow.
It seems that the words that popped out of her mouth are not cold words, but ordinary words like "eating" and "drinking".
Yu Ying felt the wind rising.
The wind blew past Bai Lian and carried a wisp of green silk that landed on her forehead, distracting her.
Refocusing, she noticed a woman, hidden in a corner, falling to the ground with a plop. She died quickly, her eyes growing blank and figure still.
Bai Lian said, "That is a bandit's den. No one is innocent. If you don't kill them, innocent people may be hurt by them."
Yu Ying's lips turned white.
She nodded. She understood. She just couldn't adapt to the process.
The white becomes black, and the black becomes dead.
Changed too abruptly.
Bai Lian said while walking, "Don't be deceived by those villains. Most people have no scruples when practicing evil. When schemes backfire, and their lives are threatened, they will easily betray their 80-year-old mother and three-year-old child."
Yu Ying lowered her head slightly, and a blush appeared on her cheek.
"I'm not stupid enough to be decieved by such a lie."
"……”
Bai Lian paused.
I just gave you an example. I didn't say that you are stupid. Why are you blushing?!
She gave a gentle cough.
"I mean, some villains may deceive you, and then you can tell him that——"
"Don't worry about your wife! I will raise her after you die!"
Yu Ying nodded, "I see."
Bai Lian shook her head secretly.
If only you really understood.
There is no difference between killing evil ghosts and evil people.
All beings are equal, don't discriminate against ghosts!
Yu Ying walked to the door.
At this time, Uncle Hu, who had guided her, fell at her feet.
A man with a kind face can have a heart as black as ink.
She could not help sighing, "Is the little brother of the Hu family's master, who was almost disabled by the evil ghost, also a villain?"
Bai Lian paused.
"?"
A question mark slowly appeared on her face.
She asked, "Miss Yu Ying, you don’t really think that Mrs. Hu was torturing the Hu family's master by riding on him?"
"What is that?"
Yu Ying looked at Bai Lian in doubt.
An Yue is worthy of being An Yue. She knows so much!
"……”
Bai Lian realized that Yu Ying was serious.
Well.
"You are the one whose heart is like clear glass!"
Bai Lian sighed.
She got it!
Yu Ying lived in a closed environment when she was young. No one taught her this knowledge, and she didn't care about it herself. So she didn't know anything about it.
I was wrong. I thought you were telling blue jokes, but I misunderstood you!
"Huh?"
Yu Ying was stunned by Bai Lian's words.
"That was not torture. No, it was actually torture."
Bai Lian shook her head.
Mrs. Hu, who turned into a fierce ghost, was full of cold spirit Qi. If it was not for absorbing the energy she squeezed from other men to cultivate, the Hu family's master would not dare to “fight" with Mrs. Hu every day.
"Let's put it this way. The Hu family's master has no… younger brother. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you find someone you like in the future, let him teach you."
Seeing Bai Lian refuse to say, although Yu Ying was curious about it, she could only give up.
But she was curious about another thing.
"Why does Miss An say that my heart is the real clear glass?"
"Intuition!"
Bai Lian lied solemnly.
"This is my intuition formed after being an Elder Martial Sister for a year. Believe it or not!"
Yu Ying pursed her mouth and said, "I just felt the salty taste from Miss An."
"……”
Bai Lian said with a stony face, "Miss Yu Ying, have you considered taking down the cloth? It's too one-sided to always rely on your Heart's Eyes to observe people."
To Bai Lian's surprise, Yu Ying responded decisively.
"Okay!"
The girl put her hands behind her head. When she gently untied the knot made of black cloth, her white arms bent back, reflecting the soft morning light and exhibiting a remarkable charm.
Bai Lian's attention was taken completely away from the girl's uncovered eyes.
She had a similar thought to the one Ju Buyi had about her —
Her temperament doesn't match her body at all!
But Bai Lian could see that Yu Ying had not changed her appearance, and she had no Magic Tools that could change her appearance.
"Miss Yu, lead the way."
"Hmm."
Stepping on the morning light, they set foot on the road to Yu Ying's residence.
Nothing happened on the way.
They walked slowly because they were not in a hurry.
This time, under the direction of Bai Lian, Yu Ying, who no longer needed to find the sword owner, leisurely observed the local customs of Heluo Country.
They tasted tea in the teahouse.
Bai Lian rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile, "They can't make tea, but I can!"
They enjoyed the flowers at the flower show.
With a touch from Bai Lian, the drooped flower raised its petals again, very energetic.
They fished across the river.
They didn't catch any fish but hooked an iron basin that was thrown away by unknown people. Finally, Bai Lian caught several fish directly by using her Spirit Qi.
They also helped people unload goods at the canal wharf and caught thieves on rainy nights…
Finally, they passed the word on the ancient road for the scholars who could not come to see their family.
When the scholar stepped on the carriage, Bai Lian sang in a childish voice, "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green…"
After the scholar whirled away with tears, Bai Lian turned to Yu Ying and said, "For us, a thousand miles is just a short distance, but for ordinary people, a thousand miles is a lifetime’s distance, and they may never see each other again."
Yu Ying was silent.
A hundred miles further ahead is the village where she lives. It's also time for her to say goodbye to Bai Lian.
These days, she is always staying with Bai Lian.
This ordinary daily life made her feel that she had returned to her childhood.
At that time, her mother took her around, and their small world was full of beauty.
She just couldn't go back.
"Mom."
Yu Ying subconsciously called out.
"Huh?"
Bai Lian was stunned.
Yu Ying, who had regained awareness, blushed. She hurriedly made up an excuse, "I thought of following my mother to see her friend off when I was a child."
Oh, I see. You almost scared me to death!
