Chapter 36 So confident?
In the evening, Hua Ling calculated the time, set up a brazier at the door of her house, prepared grapefruit leaves and mugwort, boiled the bath water, and waited peacefully for Tao Yue'er to come home. But at midnight, Tao Yue'er still hadn't arrived.
figure.
This is the first time Tao Yue'er has not returned home on time.
Hua Ling finally couldn't help it, so she put on her cloak, held a plain paper lantern, and went in the direction of the prison to look for him.
Hua Ling walked back and forth three times, but never saw Tao Yue'er. She asked the vendors along the road, but no one said they had seen her.
Hua Ling was completely anxious.
Where can Tao Yue'er go alone?
"Hey, isn't this Master Hua? Are you finally willing to go out?"
There was a joke coming from behind, but Hua Ling didn't listen to it, and didn't think he was calling her, so she walked straight forward without stopping.
But how could the owner of the voice let him go so easily?
Ji Hanyu quickly walked up to Hua Ling, stopped him, and lifted him up and down: "Tsk, tsk, let me see, you are still pretending to be so weak and incapable of restraining a chicken."
Only then did Hua Ling realize that he was talking to herself.
Two beauties came over and stood around Ji Hanyu - he had just been drinking wine upstairs and saw Hua Ling, and he became interested for a moment.
It's not that he has any interest in Hua Ling, he just thinks of Tao Yue'er beside him for no reason.
"Why don't you wait at home?" Ji Hanyu asked.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for Tao Yue'er to dress and feed you!"
The beauty of Hua Ling is very dazzling in the crowd. Although she is thin, she is not indifferent to all kinds of things.
Hua Ling didn't bother to pay attention to him, so she walked around him and went elsewhere.
Ji Hanyu didn't have to fight with him. He originally wanted to continue drinking, but seeing his nervous look made him feel a little strange.
Could it be that something happened to Tao Yue'er?
Ji Hanyu took off the money bag from his pocket, handed it to the two beauties, and dismissed them. Then he followed Hua Ling and kept asking beside him: "Where are you going? Has something happened to Tao Yue'er?"
"Have you seen him?" Hua Ling heard the confusion in his tone and guessed that Ji Hanyu must have seen Tao Yue'er today.
Ji Hanyu nodded generously and said: "I went to see her off outside the city in the afternoon, but before I had walked a few miles, there was a decree from the Holy One to grant amnesty to the world. I thought she was fine and left."
"Then why don't you bring him back?!" Suddenly, Hua Ling stopped and became furious.
His hand grabbed Ji Hanyu's collar, quickly and accurately, without giving anyone the slightest chance to defend himself.
Ji Hanyu was startled and asked him: "Why should I save her?"
Although Tao Yue'er is quite docile and cute, they just meet by chance and have no obligation to save people, right?
Although... he really wanted to save her, Tao Yue'er was still not that important compared to Immortal Master Penglai.
Ji Hanyu glared at Hua Ling and said with a smile: "Besides, since you care about her so much, why don't you send her off yourself?"
"I..." Hua Ling heard this and felt that she seemed to have gone too far.
Ji Hanyu has no obligation to ensure Tao Yue'er's safety. They have no friendship and even have old enemies. How can he ask Ji Hanyu to save Tao Yue'er?
Hua Ling let go of Ji Hanyu, turned her eyes, ignored him, and continued to pick up the lantern to look for Tao Yue'er.
Ji Hanyu looked at his cold back and moved his shoulders, suddenly feeling that Hua Ling's skills might be even more powerful than his powder.
If it was a coincidence that he used perfume to charm him last time, could he win in a head-to-head battle?
He wasn't sure.
The long sword behind Ji Hanyu clanged again. Ji Hanyu sighed and said, "I know I shouldn't get close to him, but this time the situation is special. I will definitely not interact with him again in the future."
After Ji Hanyu seemed to be talking to himself, he caught up with Hua Ling and asked him: "Is Tao Yue'er missing?"
Hua Ling walked away minding her own business and ignored him, but judging from his facial expressions, her guess was not wrong.
Ji Hanyu said: "I'll look for it with you."
Hua Ling still ignored him.
Ji Hanyu couldn't help but take out a Xuanqing Sect signal flare from his arms and handed it to him: "If you find Tao Yue'er, send me a message. If I find it first, I will also notify you."
Hua Ling glanced at him and left without answering.
"Oh, so confident?" Ji Hanyu jumped in anger, but he also knew that now was not the time to argue with him, so he put away the flare and walked in the opposite direction of Hua Ling.
In the middle of the night, Ji Hanyu found Tao Yue'er in the woods outside the city.
It's not that he and Tao Yue'er have a close connection, it's because when Tao Yue'er was about to go to Muzhou, he planted Thousand Mile Incense on her body. No matter where Tao Yue'er went from now on, he would be able to find the unique scent of Thousand Mile Incense.
The scent found her.
This is what he didn't tell Hua Ling.
Perhaps he didn't want Hua Ling to find Tao Yue'er from the bottom of his heart, let alone take the initiative to inform her of her whereabouts.
When Ji Hanyu found Tao Yue'er, Tao Yue'er was sitting on a stone by the stream with her hands on her knees. She buried her face between her legs, and her back looked dejected and depressed.
Ji Hanyu felt that the person in front of him looked more like himself before.
Although Tao Yue'er is similar to herself in age, she is not half as mature as she is in dealing with people.
Ji Hanyu sighed, walked to her and patted her shoulder: "Why are you here?"
Tao Yue'er raised her head in shock, as if she had never expected that someone would appear in this wilderness, and this person could be considered an acquaintance.
"Why are you here?" Tao Yue'er's eyes were red, and there were still wet tears on her face.
Ji Hanyu sighed again and said: "We are both fallen people from the end of the world. I don't ask about your past, and you don't care about me either."
"Oh..." Tao Yue'er heard this and thought about it, it was true, so she nodded and buried her head again.
"You really don't ask anything?" Ji Hanyu laughed.
Tao Yue'er raised her head, looking confused: "What do you want me to ask?"
"Don't you think we are destined for each other?"
Tao Yue'er shook her head: "I don't think so."
Nothing good happened after Ji Hanyu appeared. The first time he met him, Shui Sheng went crazy; the second time he was reduced to ashes due to the epidemic; the third time he was imprisoned. And this was the fourth time... she didn't dare
Imagine what happens next.
"Why do you look so hungry? Am I that annoying?" Ji Hanyu said helplessly.
Tao Yue'er glanced at him indifferently, and wanted to turn her head and ignore him. Ji Hanyu was one step ahead of him, raised her chin, stared at her forehead, and asked in confusion: "Did they torture you?"
Tao Yue'er's eyes turned red and she knocked his hand off: "As you can see, from now on, I am a thief who everyone calls out for beating! No matter if I have done it or not, this mark will remain on me forever.
on the face!"
"You care about it?" Ji Hanyu frowned.
"Can I not care?" Tao Yue'er became even more angry, and then said: "It is a stain on my life, a stain that does not belong to me at all, but was forced on me!"
"If you don't care, then it's not a stain. If you really don't want to see it, you can cover it up." After Ji Hanyu finished speaking, he took out a kit from his arms. Inside the kit was a wipe.
The forehead is made of crimson brocade with black patterns, and there is a piece of mutton-fat white jade in the middle of the forehead.
Ji Hanyu tied the forehead mop on Tao Yue'er's forehead, which just covered her tattoo. He smiled and said softly: "Look, you can't see it this way."
Tao Yue'er stroked the brocade on her forehead. The smooth texture was the finest silk she had ever touched. It could be seen that it was expensive and not something that ordinary people could own.
"This is too expensive, why don't I want it?" Tao Yuer'er said, trying to take off the forehead wiper.
"I've given it to you," Ji Hanyu stopped him: "I have ten thousand of these forehead wipes, so don't take it to heart, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that it's best to take off this white jade, it... may bring disaster to you."
