Chapter 420: Hair Turned White Overnight
When Motu woke up the next morning, he saw a falcon half a man's height beside him. He was startled and sat up quickly.
Su Ying walked in at this time, grabbed the carrier eagle's wings and dragged it out of the ruined temple. When she came back, the carrier eagle had disappeared.
Facing Motu's puzzled look, Su Ying said, "I don't know where it came from."
Motu looked scared and said, "It's scary."
The three of them simply ate some dry food and continued on their way.
Su Ying sat cross-legged in the carriage, chewing melon seeds and asking casually, "If the Red Devil's men failed to assassinate me this time, they will come again, right?"
"If you take money from others to help them get rid of disasters, of course you have to succeed."
"What if the Red Devil's people can't kill me?"
"The Red Devils usually make three attempts. If they fail three times, they will return the commission tenfold."
Su Ying said faintly, "You know a lot."
Motu chuckled, "The Red Devil is quite famous in the underworld, and those who are involved in this field know a little about him."
Su Ying took out the map and looked at it. Their next destination was Bincheng.
They entered the city before Bin closed its gates at night.
Motu drove along the street with ease and finally stopped outside an inn.
Su Ying jumped off the carriage holding Queque and walked into the inn, where a waiter came out to greet her.
"Are you guests going to stay at the hotel?"
Motu nodded, "Yes, two upper rooms."
"Okay, you guys come with me."
The waiter took them to the second floor and opened the doors of two rooms. "Take a look. If you are not satisfied, there are other rooms."
Compared with the inn in Haiyang City, the environment here looks better, but Su Ying is not picky about it, as long as it can be lived in.
"Queque always asks to see you at night. Let her sleep with you tonight." Motu led Queque to Su Ying.
Su Ying glanced at him and took Que Que's hand, "Okay."
At night they just had a simple meal in the inn and then went to rest.
In the darkness, Motu sat up from the bed. He listened attentively to the noise outside and only left through the window after making sure that there was nothing unusual.
His figure leaped very quickly in the darkness and finally stopped in an inconspicuous house.
He walked into the main house and lit the candles inside. After a while, a figure appeared outside the door.
However, the black shadow did not enter the house immediately, but stood outside the house vigilantly as if confirming something.
"Come in." Motu said.
The person outside the door was obviously stunned, then quickly opened the door and walked in. When he saw Motu's obscure appearance under the candlelight, his eyes widened in surprise, "Master, it's really you!"
The candlelight flickered, reflecting in his enchanting eyes like an abyss, "It's me, what's going on over there now?"
"Now that he is in power, he has cleaned up all the dead and wounded people who were previously loyal to the master."
Motu smiled, but his eyes were tinged with bloodthirsty red, "You are really my good brother."
"It's great that the master has returned. I will contact the rest of the people right away. They have also been looking for the master's whereabouts."
"Well, tell them not to act rashly and just follow my orders."
"yes."
"I will arrive in Duocheng soon. Let them wait for me there."
"yes."
Mo Tu returned to the inn and was about to climb in through the window when he saw Su Ying walking out of the room.
He hid on the eaves and watched Su Ying leave the house, go downstairs to the backyard, and enter the back kitchen, and did not come out for a long time.
Motu shook his head helplessly, came down from the eaves and followed him to the outside of the kitchen.
"Did you sneak out to eat because you didn't have enough to eat at night?"
When Su Ying heard the noise, she turned around and saw Motu leaning against the kitchen door, looking sleepy.
Su Ying was indeed hungry. The food in the inn tonight was bland and not filling at all. However, there was mostly dry food in the space and she didn't want to eat it, so she went to the kitchen to eat something hot.
Su Ying threw the firewood into the stove and it started to burn immediately.
Motu walked in, lifted the lid of the pot and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"We only have noodles and eggs here, so let's make egg noodles."
"good."
Motu rolled up his sleeves naturally and added water to the pot skillfully. He put the noodles in after the water boiled.
Su Ying crossed her arms and looked at his busy back and suddenly asked, "How did your hair turn white?"
"I was so heartbroken that my hair turned white overnight."
Su Ying was aroused by curiosity, "What could make you so sad?"
Motu paused and looked back at her seriously, "For example, if Miss Su said she wanted to kill me, that would be enough to make me sad. If Miss Su killed me and also tore me into pieces, I would be heartbroken. But if Miss Su tore me into pieces and then continued to love my enemies, I would not only die together, but I would also turn into a fierce ghost to claim your souls!"
Su Ying felt a chill at this metaphor, but she still saw a flash of murderous intent in Mo Tu's eyes.
"So your hair is grey because you were cheated on by someone else."
Motu's eyebrows twitched and his expression turned ugly.
A bowl of steaming egg noodles was brought to Su Ying. "Is that enough? If not, I'll make you more."
Su Ying picked up the bowl and started eating. "That's enough. You can't eat too much at night. It's easy to have indigestion."
Motu looked at the bowl that was bigger than her head and his eyes twitched. Then you should eat less!
They did not stay in Bincheng. They went to the city early the next morning to buy some food and daily necessities and then continued on their journey.
The closer they got to Duocheng, the more Su Ying could sense that Motu was in a bad mood.
The carriage stopped in front of a tea stall outside Duocheng.
Now that the city gates are closed, they can only enter the city tomorrow.
Motu held Queque in his arms and sat down at the table in the teahouse. The owner of the teahouse came over with a smile and asked, "Would you like to have some tea or some snacks, my dear guests?"
"A pot of tea and two snacks."
"Okay."
At this time, there were no other customers in the teahouse except them.
The owners of the tea stall are a middle-aged couple who look like ordinary people.
After the tea and snacks were served, the couple started working at the stall. Although there were no other customers at the moment, they looked like they had endless things to do.
Motu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Su Ying. Before Su Ying could pick up the teacup, a slender figure walked over and sat down opposite Motu.
"Brother, you are really still alive!"
Su Ying raised her head and looked at the person who came. He had a rosy face, almond eyes and cherry lips. He was truly an exquisite and handsome young man.
After he sat down, he fixed his eyes on Motu's face, completely ignoring the presence of others.
"Brother, don't you remember me?" Seeing that Mo Tu didn't respond, Mo Qian reached out to hold his hand, "Brother, are you angry with Qian'er, brother?"
Motu looked at the hand resting on the back of his hand, and his brows turned cold.
"Let go."
