Chapter 17 Chapter 17 There are many cases of people being drugged and abducted. ...
Yun Qin caught Jiang Daiyi. Her face was much paler than the last time she was poisoned.
"Did he hurt you?"
Jiang Daiyi said, "I used poisonous smoke and inhaled some of it myself, so I feel a little dizzy."
Yun Qin wanted to carry her away regardless of his own injuries, but Jiang Daiyi walked up to the secret guard, squatted down, and untied his acupuncture point.
Before Jiang Daiyi fell into a coma, she said to the secret guard, "Take us to Qiliang Mountain."
…
At the foot of Qiliang Mountain, Mingli Town.
The houses in the village are arranged in an orderly manner, and the green mountains and clear waters are particularly elegant. The sudden rain makes the beautiful scenery hidden in a mist.
Pedestrians who did not bring umbrellas hid under the eaves to avoid the rain. A few naughty children put on their straw raincoats and went out, looking for puddles to play in the rain.
The children walked along the bumpy bluestone road to the corner of an alley. The raindrops kicked up by their rough steps splashed onto the clothes of the people coming towards them without warning.
They almost pounced on the man, but they stopped and were stunned when they looked up.
A very gentle and handsome boy with gentle eyebrows and eyes.
He was holding a twenty-four-section ink-and-wash umbrella and holding a girl in one hand like a baby.
The girl was sleeping soundly, with her head buried in the boy's shoulder and neck, so her face could hardly be seen.
"Is there an inn nearby?"
The young man's eyebrows were slightly curved, his voice was gentle, and he didn't seem to care that his clothes were stained.
The town in the mountains is small, and most of the men in the town are rough and untamed. Such a gentle and good-looking person is rarer than a mountain of gold. The children came to their senses and pointed to a road ahead and replied to him.
"There's none nearby. There's only one inn in town, which is a bit far away, on the other side."
"Just keep walking along that street and you will see it."
"Thank you very much."
The rain was getting heavier, and Yun Qin held the umbrella forward a little to ensure that the girl in his arms would not get wet.
He turned and walked in the direction the child pointed, and his tall figure gradually disappeared in the rising mist.
The setting sun, lingering rain and cold wind blew towards us, making the proprietress shiver and close the doors and windows.
On weekdays, there are few people staying in the hotel, mostly diners. Now it is getting late and it is long past dinner time, so I am afraid no one will come.
The proprietress was about to go upstairs to rest when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
The proprietress peeked out through the crack in the door and saw a handsome young man. She hurriedly opened the door and greeted him with a smile.
"What is your name, sir?"
"Yun, please prepare a guest room for us. It should be more secluded."
Yunqin stepped into the house and handed the proprietress a silver ingot.
The proprietress naturally saw the woman he was holding steadily in his arms and responded.
"Don't worry, sir. There are usually few people staying here, so no one will disturb us."
The proprietress turned her gaze and asked, "Who is this girl?"
"It's my sister."
The young man smiled slightly, his tone gentle and elegant.
The young man looked not yet twenty years old, but he was extremely calm and dignified. The proprietress had been running the shop for many years and had seen all kinds of people. She could tell at a glance that this man was of extraordinary status.
She smiled and led the way to a house in the backyard.
"This backyard is quiet, and the guest rooms are cleaned every day. Are you satisfied with it?"
Yunqin placed Jiang Daiyi on the couch and took off her embroidered shoes for her.
"Very good. Please bring some light food and hot water."
The proprietress smiled and nodded, then turned and left, glancing at the girl on the couch a few more times.
It was a young girl with a small and delicate face, closed eyelashes, thin black eyebrows, and two small silver hairpins with fans pinned diagonally on her bun, which made her already beautiful face even more charming.
With a fair complexion and graceful figure, she must be a girl who has been pampered since childhood. I think her beauty will be even more beautiful when she opens her eyes.
The proprietress walked out of the house and closed the door.
The spring rain is always continuous, and it has been falling for two days without stopping.
The proprietress sent out food from Yunqin's place, feeling suspicious.
The girl has been sleeping for two days and has never woken up. Could she have been drugged?
Although Mingli Town is not big, it is indeed an important thoroughfare and people of all kinds have passed through here. In these troubled times, there are many people who have been drugged, kidnapped and sold.
Besides, there are quite a few people who come to Qiliang Mountain to look for treasure in the past few days. It is hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys among them.
But the young man had a harmless face and spoke in an extraordinary way, and he really didn't look like a bad person.
If she pressed the issue, it would seem offensive.
It would be better to find an opportunity when the young man goes out and see what the girl inside is like.
After making up his mind, the boss's wife finally found an opportunity when it got dark.
"Sir, are you going out?"
Yunqin, wearing a flowing robe, smiled and nodded at the proprietress.
The proprietress felt a little guilty looking at Yunqin's back. She wondered if she was worrying too much and couldn't help but say something.
"When will you be back, sir?"
Outside the door, the raindrops fell and mist rose.
Yunqin paused, but did not move. He just turned his head to look at the proprietress.
The candlelight in the store was dim. The proprietress looked straight into the pair of emotionless amber eyes, and a chill filled the store for no reason.
Yun Qin curled his lips and revealed a kind smile, his whole body exuding gentleness and elegance.
"My sister is weak and can't stand the cold and dampness of rainy days. I'll go out and get some cold-repelling medicine and be back soon."
His smile made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and the inexplicable chill instantly disappeared.
The proprietress smiled awkwardly and said, "It's hard to travel in Mingli Town when it's dark, not to mention the accumulated rain. Please be careful with your steps, young master."
"Thanks for the reminder."
Yunqin said no more and strode out of the store.
The proprietress put down the abacus, walked quickly to the door, looked around and saw that there was indeed no trace of Yunqin, then she closed the door and went to the backyard with peace of mind.
It was windy and rainy outside the store. Yun Qin, who had already walked far away, turned back. He held an umbrella and looked at the closed store door with an indifferent expression.
The proprietress walked into the guest room in the backyard carrying a lantern, took out a tinder and lit the candle.
"Girl, wake up."
