Chapter 47 Chapter 47 "Now, kiss me."...
After being reborn for more than a month, Zhang Jingxian had been wearing simple plain linen robes. Suddenly she changed into a silk brocade dress and felt uncomfortable in every way.
Considering her delicate new clothes, she couldn't help but move lightly and lean out when she pushed open the carriage door, looking a little embarrassed.
Unfortunately, a night breeze blew by, and the white gauze covering her body fluttered in the wind, covering her face.
Zhang Jingxian subconsciously closed her eyes and didn't notice that an extremely intense gaze had been fixed on her for a long time.
When the mountain breeze passed, she opened her eyes again and saw only a tall and indifferent figure.
While she was changing clothes in the carriage, he was standing there with his back to her and probably didn't see anything.
Zhang Jingxian breathed a sigh of relief, carefully got off the carriage, walked around to his side, and said thank you, "My dear, thank you, the clothes fit me very well."
But the layer of white gauze covering the outside was a bit of a hindrance. She didn't even dare to take big steps when walking, for fear that it would touch the branches and get the gauze caught.
Xie Yun lifted his thin eyelids and saw her clumsily trying to fiddle with the white gauze to press it down. His eyes paused for a moment.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a crazy idea appeared in his mind. He wanted to tear the thin and pitiful veil to pieces, cover the eyes of the peasant girl, and watch her tears wet and slide down... and then!
Then, he licked it off slowly, drop by drop, leisurely admiring the red beneath the white gauze.
"Ah Xian," Xie Yun's chest rose and fell rapidly. He suppressed the boiling blood and whispered her name, "Stop it."
"Oh, okay." Zhang Jingxian agreed obediently and gave up fiddling with the plain gauze on her body. Although it was very inconvenient, it should be fine once she got used to wearing it.
People are always able to adapt to new changes.
She glanced at Xie, who was some distance away from them, and wanted to ask where the clothes came from, but she cleverly changed her words when the words came to her lips.
"My dear, this dress will be counted towards my monthly salary."
Guests recruited by aristocratic families can receive a fixed amount of money, food and silk every month. Zhang Jingxian felt that she was now a guest of Envoy Xie, and tried to test his treatment in a roundabout way.
How much money and food and silk can she get every month?
Zhang Jingxian was looking forward to this. No matter where she was, she always made sure to provide for herself. After having enough food, clothing, and shelter, if there was still some left over, she could save it for a few years and perhaps she wouldn't have to worry about fines for the rest of her life.
The moonlight reflected on the girl's sparkling eyes. Xie Yun clenched his finger bones and endured it. He hummed, his voice so hoarse that he had no energy to care about her temptation.
Zhang Jingxian wanted to ask more, but the man frowned and turned to go to the fire.
He took big steps, as if he was a little impatient.
Zhang Jingxian was stunned by Xie Yun's hot and cold attitude. She opened her lips and closed them again. She was reluctant to go find Xie to ask for clarification. She thought that maybe Xie Yun was too lazy to listen to such a trivial matter.
However, she just took two steps towards Xie Yun, and it seemed as if Xie Yun had a pair of eyes on his back, staring at her coldly and solemnly, which frightened Zhang Jingxian so much that she shuddered all over.
"What's wrong, my dear?" She spoke rather weakly. It couldn't be that he was too lazy to tell her how the guests were treated, nor did he allow her to ask others.
"You're following me, but you're always looking around. Ah Xian, do you want to escape?" His breath was filled with ruthlessness, and impatience was evident in his brows.
Hearing this, Zhang Jingxian bit her teeth lightly and smiled, "I understand, my dear."
She changed direction and walked over quietly, each step falling into his shadow.
-
Late at night, Xie Yun, Gong Chengyue and others were still talking around the fire.
The howling of wolves came one after another, accompanied by the sound of wood exploding. Zhang Jingxian sat close to Xie Yun, hugged her knees with her hands, and fell asleep unconsciously with her eyelids closed.
The moment she lost consciousness, Xie Yun's eyes moved.
Seeing this, Gong Chengyue tactfully shut his mouth, stood up with his beloved feather fan, and slowly walked to another campfire.
The others also stepped aside tacitly and respectfully.
Soon, there were only two people left by the fire: a peasant girl who was sleeping peacefully, and Envoy Xie, who was staring at the fire with a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking.
After a long time, when a person's body fell to the side involuntarily, a big hand caught her.
Then they embraced each other intimately, her head tilted in the crook of his neck, fitting perfectly.
…
Zhang Jingxian took a nap and when she forced herself to wake up, she found herself lying in the carriage.
It was so dark that there was no light at all. Relying on her keen perception, she moved her body little by little and climbed out of the car quietly.
The car door was opened silently, and a faint light fell on her eyelids. Zhang Jingxian looked around calmly and did not see anyone walking around awake.
It's getting foggy.
The white mist became the best cover. She turned her head and gently closed the car door, then walked to the back following her memory of the day.
She took every step carefully, for fear of alarming Xie Yun's men.
This time, Zhang Jingxian did not want to escape, but she had to let Xiaoli and the others go. While they were still in Yangshan, the mountain cats and red foxes could still return to their original territory if they sneaked into the forest.
Once they arrived in Wuling County, a completely unfamiliar place, even if they broke free from the cage, it would be difficult for them to return to their familiar environment.
The cage containing the little foxes was at the back of the carriage.
Zhang Jingxian had a very good grasp of the timing. It was almost dawn, and it was also the time when most people were the most sleepy. She walked all the way from the carriage to the place where the cage was placed, and with the help of the white mountain fog, she was indeed not discovered.
Occasionally there was some noise, but it was just snoring, the wind and the birds.
Inside the cage, the red fox seemed to sense the presence of its human friend and stood up first, nudging the sleeping bobcat with its nose.
The bobcat's green eyes opened, it meowed softly, and quickly rushed to the edge of the cage.
In the white mist, the girl's figure gradually appeared. She held a bow and arrow in her hand, squinted her eyes and shot at the shackles of the cage, once, twice, and on the third time the shackles began to loosen!
Zhang Jingxian was delighted and immediately used both hands to pry open the shackles. Fortunately, she had enough strength and the cage door opened with just one try.
Seeing this, the bobcat shook its whiskers excitedly and rushed out of the cage, followed by the red fox and the yellow warbler.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault that you're locked up. Now hurry up and go back through the woods. Don't get caught again."
Zhang Jingxian bent down and touched the black cat's head, with deep apology in her eyes. She really didn't think that they would be implicated by her. Only a cruel person like Xie Yun would use them to threaten her.
"Meow." The black cat licked her hand and tilted its head with a puzzled look. It still thought that this was just a little game played between humans and didn't understand why its human friend was crying.
"Let's go back." Zhang Jingxian sniffed and said it again.
Without the constraints of cages, they can return to the mountains and continue to live their previous free and comfortable lives.
"Don't trust or get close to humans anymore." After thinking for a moment, she whispered again.
The smart red fox seemed to understand this sentence, took a step closer to her, and looked at her quietly.
But it also seemed to be urging her to run back with them.
Zhang Jingxian's heart beat faster when she understood what the red fox meant. Instinct made her turn around and look warily. Just this one glance made the desire in her heart clearly visible.
Suddenly, a soft and faint laugh was heard in the white mist.
"Ah Xian, do you want to run again?"
As if a ghostly voice floated into Zhang Jingxian's ears, her whole body froze and she stared blankly behind her.
The tall man's figure was revealed, it was Xie Yun.
From beginning to end, her every move was in Xie Yun's sight and she never escaped it.
"Sir, let them go?"
Zhang Jingxian felt a chill in her heart, and quickly realized the truth. She nervously stood in front of Xiaoli and the others.
There was a hint of pleading in her expression, exactly the pitiful look that had appeared in Xie Yun's mind countless times. He slowly raised the corners of his lips, nodded, and said, "Okay."
He followed her and watched her open the cage without stopping her. Didn't he understand what she meant?
"They can go. But, Ah Xian, come here." Xie Yun suppressed the inexplicable pleasure in his heart and waved at her with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go over there." Zhang Jingxian blinked quickly and walked towards him in the fog, taking every step very slowly to buy time for the bobcat and red fox behind her.
The two little animals, who had been born and raised in the mountains, smelled danger and finally stopped hesitating. After one last look at their human friends, they took off running.
As for the winged oriole, it disappeared in the white mist after leaving behind a long cry, and no one knew where it flew to.
Anyway, it has regained its freedom.
When there was less than a foot between the two of them, Zhang Jingxian stopped and couldn't help but look into the white fog.
The direction they fled was her hometown.
Seeing this, Xie Yun's black eyes turned cold, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, while with the other hand he lifted her chin and covered her lips with his long fingers.
He rubbed it hard until a bright red color appeared on it.
"Although Ah Xian didn't run away with your friends, as a guest, you still have to be punished for wanting to escape!"
After saying that, he ordered her word by word, his tone full of pleasure and suppressed desire.
"Now, look up and kiss me."
