The man in black didn't explain anything. After giving her the medicine, he sat down next to her calmly and asked if he would glance at her sideways.
Xia Houshu's face turned pale, thinking to himself, why is this person like this? Not only did he pour poison into her, but he also had to watch her die from the poison with his own eyes? How shameless! How cruel!
The more Xia Houshu thought about it, the more aggrieved and helpless she became, so she cried to herself for a while. But as she cried, she felt a little unwilling, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Now I am the fish and meat, and you are the swordsman.
If you want to kill me, then kill me, why do you need to drug me again?"
The man in black glanced sideways at her.
Xia Houshu continued: "I said that if you saved me, I would definitely repay you twice as much, but now you drugged me and still want to watch me die, are you a perverted person?"
The man in black seemed a little surprised, but still didn't answer.
Xia Houshu became more and more frustrated and said bleakly: "Anyway, I can't resist now, so just let me know. You tell me your name, or you take off your mask and let me see what you look like."
Lest I go to the underworld and the King of Hell ask me how I died and by whose hands I died, I don’t even know.”
Not sure if it was an illusion, Xia Houshu vaguely heard a mocking sneer coming from the side, which sounded a bit familiar. She looked over in surprise, but the other person was looking straight ahead, as if he wasn't listening to her at all.
He spoke the same words, leaving only half a mask for her that showed no expression.
Xia Houshu stopped pretending, raised his voice and cried wildly.
In a nearby yard, a middle-aged man was squatting in a hut after eating bad food at night. He was feeling very comfortable when he suddenly heard a woman crying. He suddenly felt chills running down his spine and all the hairs on his body stood up.
When he continued to listen carefully, the woman's voice became clearer and clearer. He was so frightened that he pulled up his pants and went into the house, hiding under the quilt and shivering.
The man in black seemed to be tired of Xia Houshu's crying. He suddenly took out a handkerchief from his arms, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth. The piercing crying stopped abruptly.
Xia Houshu knew that she wouldn't survive this time, so she tried her best to fight to the death. However, as soon as she raised her hand, she immediately found that she didn't seem so weak anymore. She could lift her hand and move her feet slowly.
I am becoming more and more conscious...
She suddenly realized that she had judged a gentleman with a villain's heart - what the man in black gave her was not poison, but an antidote.
Did he suddenly leave just now to get the antidote?
Before Xia Houshu could ask further questions, the man in black suddenly stood up and walked in the direction he came from.
This person behaved strangely and had a deep mind. Not only was he well-dressed, but he also carried a weapon inlaid with so many gems, as well as a rare medicine like Qingsulu. He even deliberately did not put the antidote together.
No ordinary!
Xia Houshu stood up in a hurry and followed him stumblingly, trying to find an opportunity to take off his mask to see his true face and confirm her guess.
The two walked for a while, and the man in black seemed to realize that Xia Houshu's physical strength and pace could not keep up, so he deliberately slowed down and waited for Xia Houshu to catch up.
Xia Houshu naturally noticed the soft-heartedness and kindness of the man in black, but this was exactly what she wanted to take advantage of. She followed for a while, and then when she reached a corner, she pretended to be exhausted and stumbled to the ground.
As expected, the man in clothes fell into the trap and immediately reached out to help her. Xia Houshu saw the right opportunity and immediately reached out to grab his mask, but was caught by the other party as soon as he made a move.
"I..." She was stunned, secretly admiring the other party's vigilance, but had to face the embarrassment of being caught, so she had to justify herself, "Strong man, I think your mask is exquisite, like pure gold, it should be
Is it valuable?"
The man in black let out a hint of disdain from his nose, let go of Xia Houshu's hand and continued to walk forward.
Xia Houshu staggered again due to his force, but she didn't care at all. She shamelessly continued to rub against her smiling face and said: "A strong man, when people pass by, they leave their names, and when the geese pass by, they leave their voices. You should leave your name at least."
Ah! Otherwise, what should we do if we can’t tell the difference between ourselves and our enemies when we meet one day?”
The man in black suddenly stopped and when he turned around, he was bumped into by Xia Houshu.
Xia Houshu has quick eyes and quick hands
, took the opportunity to pull off the other party's mask. When she saw the face clearly, she suddenly felt that her vision went dark, her legs went weak, and her whole body fell to the ground, as if she had been hit by Qingsu Dew again.
"Now you know you are afraid?"
A familiar voice came from above, a bit reproachful and a bit joking.
Xia Houshu was stunned for a long time before she accepted this fact. Then she slowly stretched out a hand and begged: "Second brother, please give me a hand. My...legs are weak."
Xia Houyi was unmoved. He still just looked at Xia Houshu condescendingly and said coldly: "Do you think what I said before was all nonsense?"
The night wind blew his long hair up, adding a bit of charm to the coolness.
Xia Houshu immediately realized that Xia Houyi was really angry.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have ignored your advice and put myself in danger." Xia Houshu quickly surrendered, even though she knew that Xia Houyi had never done this.
Xia Houyi's anger was still lingering, his face was as cold as a piece of ice, and he continued to ask: "If I were a step late, do you know what the consequences would be?"
Of course Xia Houshu knew, but she didn't dare to contradict him at the moment, so she could only hang her head in reflection.
The two women Xia Houyi was most afraid of in his life were his mother Zhong Yuqing and his sister Xia Houshu. Zhong Yuqing was strict, impeccable in his conduct, and had high hopes for his children. But since his eldest brother died, he became more and more
He was more and more afraid of disappointing his mother, so he was obedient and respectful in everything; while Xia Houshu was reckless and stubborn, but because of what happened to her when she was a child, he had to be patient in everything, and often couldn't explain why she was justified.
But it happened that these two women were the ones he respected the most.
Thinking of this, he sighed. After all, he couldn't bear to be cruel. He reached out and gave Xia Houshu a hand, but he still said: "Go back and reflect on it!"
Xia Houshu quickly said: "I know, I know, I will reflect on it this time!"
Xia Houyi almost snorted from his nose, turned around and walked forward.
The moonlight in the sky is misty and cold. East Street is especially quiet after the fourth watch. The noisy and lively streets during the day are deserted. The ground has been swept clean. Everything seems to be immersed in sleep, even the wind blows through the eaves.
I could hear the sound clearly. Occasionally, a kitten would come out for a walk, also slowly and quietly, as if it was wandering in a fugue.
Xia Houshu took the antidote and walked this way again. Her mind gradually became clearer, and her energy gradually returned to its original state. The joy of surviving the disaster and her gratitude to her brother slowly took root in her heart, and in an instant,
It grew into a towering tree and bloomed with gorgeous flowers.
There is a saying that an eldest brother is like a father. Although Xia Houyi is not the eldest brother, he is only five years older than her, but he is smart, smart, and thoughtful. He seems to know everything and can do everything well. He always lets her
I think Nobuna is reliable.
This sense of security was something she had never experienced during the eight lonely years in Boyunguan, so she fell into it little by little, coveting this warmth and not knowing how to make progress.
Maybe, she really should reflect on it.
Xia Houyi walked in front holding a phoenix pattern mask in his hand. The gems on the mask occasionally flashed a glimmer of light under the moonlight. He walked slowly, and the night wind blew gently, lifting the hair on his forehead and making him clear.
The tough silhouette is softened.
Xia Houshu's rare silence made him a little uncomfortable. Thinking of this, he felt that his thoughts were dangerous, as if he was looking for abuse. Later, he pretended to turn his head and glanced at his sister unintentionally, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he cursed secretly.
He was doing something unnecessary. But he couldn't figure out why his sister had such a deep smile in her eyes while her face was red and she looked like she was admitting her mistake. And this smile did not contain any ridicule or provocation, but was sincere.
It's hard to refuse.
He could only continue to keep a cold face and not give her any good words.
"Second brother..." Xia Houshu knew that Xia Houyi had softened his heart, and wanted to take the opportunity to show his kindness and ease the awkward atmosphere. But as soon as she shouted, she was glared at by the other party, and she immediately became too sensible to say anything and looked at him eagerly.
Looking at his brother's back, he followed suit.
After walking for a while, Xia Houshu couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, what's the matter with your clothes? Don't you like to wear white?"
Xia Houyi has no head
He replied, "My uncle prepared this for me."
Xia Houshu nodded and asked: "Don't you like to wear white? Why don't you prepare white ones? Of course, this dress is also very beautiful. You will look good in anything you wear."
Xia Houyi suddenly stopped, turned to look at her, frowned and said, "Just because I usually like to wear white, I prepared a black set. Wearing white at night, are you afraid that others won't see you?"
Also, don’t think that if you say a few nice words, I won’t bother you about tonight’s affairs.”
"The contrast is really great. No wonder you were silent just now, and I didn't recognize you." Xia Houshu nodded as if he suddenly understood, and directly ignored what his brother said after that, and murmured, "If I had recognized you earlier, I would have
It’s not like…”
"Nothing?" Xia Houyi interrupted her, "Are you crying?"
Before Xia Houshu could answer, Xia Houyi snorted coldly again: "It's not shameful to be so spineless!"
Xia Houshu did not agree with this, and immediately retorted: "Is face or life more important? At this time, of course it is better to give in first. As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes."
Xia Houyi dismissed it.
Xia Houshu reached out to touch his fox mask again and praised: "This mask is really unique. It should be made of red gold, right? And the gems on it are crystal clear and sparkling, and they are all the same size.
It's really rare." As she spoke, her eyes went to look for the short knife hanging on his waist, "These gems alone are worth a lot of money. Isn't this also a gift from your uncle?"
"So what?" Xia Houyi asked.
"Not at all." Xia Houshu said lightly, "Although it looks a bit tacky and doesn't match your temperament at all, it wins my heart. I wonder when my uncle will be able to give me such a gift?"
Xia Houyi almost let out a disdainful snort from his nose, and immediately pulled the mask back from Xia Houshu's hand, and used his wide sleeves to cover the gem-encrusted dagger.
"How stingy!" Xia Houshu sneered, "I'm just looking at you, and I won't miss you anything. My uncle is so partial to you, I'm afraid even a few cousins can't stand it. I'm also his niece.
, can’t you complain anymore?”
Xia Houyi didn't want to pay attention to her, turned around and continued walking forward.
Xia Houshu curled his lips and continued to follow. This chapter has been completed!
