Chapter 6 Awakening

"Miss Aqi...Miss Aqi..."

His body became heavy, and a very distant call came to his ears. The voice was rough, low and urgent, like a very thin and sharp light that penetrated the heavy fog.

Wei Shu wanted to open her eyes to see, but it was like a mountain was pressing on her eyelids. Even with all her strength, she could not pry it open. She could only concentrate and listen carefully to the increasingly real voice.

.

"Miss Aqi, wake up, wake up quickly!"

The body was shaken vigorously, and the heat from the thick palms pressed against Wei Shu's shoulders. This feeling was extremely familiar. It seemed that there was such a hand pressing against her wrist in the dream.

I had my pulse checked... no, it was me who had my pulse checked by "this person".

Wei Shu was thinking vaguely, but the hand suddenly left her hand, followed by the sound of distant footsteps, and the person who pushed her seemed to have walked away.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer again, and a cool feeling suddenly hit my cheeks, just like ice beads rolling on my face in heavy snow.

Her dazed mind suddenly became clear, and the shivering chill seemed to be lifted off a heavy mountain. Wei Shu's eyelids suddenly lightened up, and the skylight suddenly surged, filling her sight.

The sound of wind and rain became particularly clear at this moment, and the coolness of dampness and the bright light soaked into her eyes. Wei Shu felt slightly dazzled and involuntarily squinted her eyes.

After a while, she finally managed to see clearly what was in front of her:

A man was squatting in front of her.

This man was about thirty years old. He had a leopard head and ringed eyes, a wide mouth and a high forehead. He had a conspicuous black mole under his eyebrows. He looked rough and resembled a heroic warrior. Unfortunately, he was dressed really...unsightly.

In short, there is only one word:

ugly.

If it can be summarized in four words, it is:

Extremely ugly.

He was a majestic man, but for some reason he had to shave off a piece of his forehead hair, revealing a green, bald scalp. The long hair grew behind the scalp, but he did not pull it up, but bundled it into several knots.

A small braid hangs down the back of her head, with a thin hemp rope tied around it, and two copper earrings on her left ear.

It's such a nondescript and bizarre attire that even the most erudite, elegant, and graceful person will immediately turn into a wild man if dressed like this.

Wei Shu slowly rolled her eyes and scanned the man's body with a slightly blurred vision.

He is very tall, and his limbs are two times larger than the average person. He is wearing a dove gray plain short robe with a high collar and a straight body. The style is quite strange, but it is quite similar to the clothes of the corpse hanging on the edge of the well.

…

Wait, corpse, corpse?!

That well in the backyard!

Wei Shu suddenly turned over and sat up. In an instant, her heart was pounding. Her eyes suddenly went dark. She was about to fall over. She quickly put her hands on the ground to stabilize her body.

"Hey, hey, what's going on? What's going on? Miss Aqi, please be slower." The man screamed, but his body jumped back quickly.

It was difficult for him to jump so high while squatting on the ground. After landing, he immediately put two bear paws in front of his chest, looked at Wei Shu with a wary face, and kept chattering in his mouth:

"Miss Aqi, please wake up. If you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't do anything. It's me, it's me! Don't you even recognize me?"

The loud noise gave Wei Shu a headache, her body shook involuntarily, and her forehead was soaked with cold sweat.

Shut up, I'm sick... No, it's me! Something big is happening!

Wei Shu wished she could yell out.

She had just thrown the baggage into the Cang River, but she hadn't had time to bury the corpses she threw into the well. No matter who peeked in, they could see the two corpses covered with stab wounds from her wounds at a glance.

The dismembered corpses were of course used as a disguise to hide the fatal wounds on their throats. After all, the iron hook was too bizarre, and Wei Shu did not want others to know that she was holding black dysprosium.

As for the baggage thrown into the Canghe River, it was stuffed with most of the deceased's clothes, bloody soil, broken beams, and other important evidence. The purpose was to leave no traces and hide Gou Ba as much as possible.

and the identity of another person.

Thinking about this, Wei Shu finally understood why she returned to the ruined temple, but it turned out that she was going to bury the body.

Kicking down the wall of the well, and then throwing some broken wood into the well, the body could be perfectly covered up. This was her plan at that time.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it, her body collapsed before she could finish the rest of the tasks, and she didn't wake up until this moment.

"Now...is...what time is it?"

Wei Shu put her arms on her head, not looking at the stars popping up in front of her eyes, and asked the man in a hoarse voice.

My head hurts a lot, and every word I say will cause a dull pain. Fortunately, the dizziness is fading away, and the energy in my Dantian has also calmed down a little.

"Ah? Oh... Well, it's not long after Chenchu, and the girl didn't hear the bell just now?" The man opened his eyes and looked at Wei Shu.

Wei Shu shook her head feebly.

It turned out that she had been in a coma all night.

After taking a few breaths, she turned her eyes and looked forward.

She was still in the main hall of the mountain temple. Outside the hall was a swamp. The water had submerged most of the vegetation. Only a small amount of ground under the corridor was still dry.

It seems that it has been raining all night, and it is still not raining now. The raindrops on the remaining eaves are like curtains, thunder is rising and falling in the distance, and the sky is as gloomy as dusk.

Suddenly, Wei Shu felt something. She glanced to the side from the corner of her eye and saw the man quietly sizing her up. There was a vague judgment in his eyes, as if he was judging whether what she said at this time was true or false.

Watch her reaction.

Wei Shu's heart moved slightly, pretending to have a headache, covering her head and turning her head to look at the other side of the hall.

On the brick floor leading to the backyard, there were two very large footprints with fresh water stains on them.

Has he been to the backyard?

A hint of awe crossed her heart, and Wei Shu's right hand naturally moved into her sleeve, as if she couldn't help but feel the spring cold, but her fingertips had already touched the secret pocket sewn by "her" hands.

The cold touch from the iron cone made her feel a little relieved.

At this moment, the man's bear paw in front of him slowly dropped, and the judgment in his eyes was replaced by a more relaxed look.

He was still looking at Wei Shu, but his expression looked cautious. He moved forward, looking like he wanted to get closer but didn't dare to get close, and whispered:

"How are you feeling, Miss Aqi? Does your head still hurt? Is there any discomfort on your body?"

Miss Aqi? Is "her" name that?

seems like it.

Wei Shu pretended to cough a few times, removed her fingers from her sleeves, covered her lips and said, "It's a little better, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Finally, none of the Venus in front of her eyes disappeared, and she did feel a little more comfortable, but her thoughts were still chaotic. She had no time and no ability to think about the meaning of the changes in the other person's eyes. She could only think of one thought over and over in her mind:

What kind of nonsense am I talking about?
