◎ "Carry me back."◎
"Look, there's someone here!"
"It's Miss An. Why is Miss An here?"
"No matter what, let's notify Dr. Pei and the others first."
When An Jiu woke up again, it was already bright outside. She opened her eyes and saw many people surrounding her. They were all wearing green clothes and carrying swords. They were all disciples of Huashan Sect.
The people of Huashan Sect waited in the charity cemetery all night, but in the end, nothing came and they were left alone.
Their first reaction was that the plan had been leaked. The Gu Master hiding in the dark knew that they were going to capture him, so he never showed up.
Having seen the "resurrection of the dead" in the past, the Gu Master has not yet shown up, so everyone simply stopped hiding and began to search for the Gu Master along the charity cemetery, determined to bring him to justice.
During the search, they met An Jiu lying in the woods.
Zhou Yihan half-knelt in front of An Jiu, helped her up from the ground, and asked, "Miss An, why are you here?"
Still looks so embarrassed.
An Jiu's thoughts were still a little hazy. He glanced around and saw that everyone was looking at him curiously. Then he gradually came to his senses.
She blinked twice and said innocently, "I heard that you guys were going to catch that Gu Master. It seemed interesting, so I wanted to come and see."
Zhou Yihan immediately showed a look of disapproval when he heard this: "This is not a fun thing."
An Jiu pouted and said angrily, "Yes, I took a carriage out last night and planned to hide and watch quietly, but it was too dark and I got lost in the woods! Later, I was tired and found a place to sleep. Oh, I'm so tired, can you take me back to the inn?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the way the Huashan disciples, who had originally had a slight liking for the girl because of her outstanding appearance, looked at her changed.
They risked their lives to punish evildoers, but this girl treated it as fun and now she is ordering people around with a clear conscience.
Zhou Yuli was standing next to Zhou Yihan, but because An Jiu was a woman, he did not come closer at this moment. When he heard her say that, his face looked very ugly.
He walked forward with a stiff expression and said stiffly, "Miss An, I'll take you back."
An Jiu glanced at him and nodded: "Okay."
The tone seemed quite reluctant.
Zhou Yuli's face became even colder. Originally, he had a very good first impression of Miss An, but later she refreshed his three views time and time again, and now he no longer had any good feelings towards her.
He glanced at Zhou Yihan who was standing beside him. He used to think that his junior sister was sometimes too willful and ignorant, but now, in comparison with An Jiu, he felt that his junior sister was perfect.
The master mentioned his marriage with Junior Sister not long ago, and Zhou Yuli was a little hesitant at the time. But now it seems... it would be better to return to the mountain to get married after this incident is resolved. The women down the mountain are still too scary, and he really can't serve them.
He was picked up by the master, and took the master's surname Zhou. He grew up with the little apprentice sister, and the two were childhood sweethearts. Although the little apprentice sister was sometimes stubborn, she was very kind-hearted. If the two of them were to get married, it would be a good story.
"Don't you have a carriage here?" The girl's delicate voice brought Zhou Yuli back to his senses.
The two men had reached the roadside by then.
After thinking it through, Zhou Yuli's attitude became calm when he faced An Jiu again, and he was polite and distant to a stranger he met by chance: "We all ride horses, there are no carriages here."
The red-dressed girl's bright eyes turned around and fell on the red horse that Zhou Yuli was leading over. She said with disdain, "I don't want to ride a horse. What if I fall to death?"
In fact, An Jiu herself can ride a horse. In modern times, she received orthodox riding training.
But the original body "Anjiu" doesn't know how to do it, so she can't show that she can.
She lives under the nose of the big boss. Pei Ji was reborn once and knew Anjiu's style clearly. Once she did something that was not in line with Anjiu, the big boss would never let her off easily and might even tie her up and slice her into pieces.
Even if he needed her life to detoxify himself, she believed that he must have other ways to control her.
An Jiu knew very well that she was like walking on a tightrope, and any wrong step would lead to an irreversible end.
"And your horse, who knows if it's clean or not? I won't ride on a horse that someone else has ridden on!"
"Take this horse away quickly. It smells so bad! It stinks!"
An Jiu didn't want to ride a horse, and Zhou Yuli also saw that she probably didn't know how to ride. Just when he was at a loss, he heard a familiar voice: "I'll take her away. Senior brother, you and everyone else continue to look for the whereabouts of the Gu Master."
It turned out to be Zhou Yihan. Seeing that they were in a stalemate, he came over and after listening for a while, he took the initiative to speak.
"Okay, thank you, Junior Sister!"
Zhou Yuli was overjoyed, as if he had gotten rid of some big trouble, and slipped away with ease.
An Jiu looked at the man's quickly departing back, then looked at Zhou Yihan, a glimmer of light flashing across his eyes.
This pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters actually appeared in the original novel, and their roles were not small.
The book says that when Zhou Yuli saw the vicious female supporting character An Jiu, he was stunned by her appearance and fell in love with her at first sight. At that time, An Jiu was enduring her spoiled temper for He Ziqing and had never revealed her true face.
Zhou Yuli is a loyal bootlicker of the vicious female supporting role. At first, he was just attracted by her beauty, but later he felt pity for her and fell deeper and deeper into her trap, even breaking off the engagement with his junior sister for Anjiu.
Because he felt sorry for his master and fellow apprentice who raised him since childhood, he asked to leave the sect and stayed with Anjiu. He did a lot for Anjiu, and after Anjiu's death, he wandered around the world and disappeared.
As for the junior sister Zhou Yihan who was rejected in an act of anger, she married the second senior brother Xi Guangyuan. However, she did not expect that Xi Guangyuan would be unfaithful and unloyal after marriage, and they ended up becoming a pair of resentful lovers.
It was originally a marriage destined by heaven, but it ended in a tragic way.
An Jiu thought of Zhou Yuli's expression of being pardoned when he left just now, and guessed that there were no obstacles this time, and the two of them should be able to be together happily.
If it still doesn't work, then there's nothing she can do, she has done what she should do anyway.
"Miss An, get on the horse. I'll protect you from behind so you won't fall. I often wash Zhuixue, so there is no odor." Zhou Yihan did not notice An Jiu's eyes and said in a businesslike manner.
I thought Miss An would be picky, but she got on the horse so easily and swiftly, and judging from her posture, she seemed to be able to ride.
Zhou Yihan looked at An Jiu strangely, not understanding why she had become such a different person. She was so unreasonable just now, but became so talkative in the blink of an eye.
"Hurry up and don't delay." The girl on the horse urged.
Zhou Yihan didn't think much about it. He flew and sat behind the girl in red. He shouted "Gee", and the horse under him galloped towards the city.
Riding a horse is faster than driving a carriage. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the door of Yunlai Inn.
An Jiu climbed down from the horse weakly, trying hard to control his trembling limbs and not showing anything unusual.
The pill that "Fei Yi" gave her last night seemed to have lost its effect. Just now, she was sitting on the horse, and the bumps when the horse was running made her feel like she was suffering from a fate worse than death. It didn't hurt, but it was numb, as if she had undergone a whole-body electrotherapy. After the whole process, all her limbs were weak.
"Miss An, I won't see you off." Zhou Yihan said.
An Jiu said weakly: "It's okay, I'll go in by myself."
Seeing her face slightly red, Zhou Yihan paused, but still asked, "Miss An, are you feeling unwell?"
An Jiu shook his head and forced a smile: "It's my first time riding a horse, I'm just a little scared, don't worry about me."
Since she said so, Zhou Yihan didn't ask any more questions, turned around, got on his horse and left.
After watching the figure of the girl in blue riding on horseback disappear on the street, An Jiu moved step by step into the inn.
The waiter was still the same waiter from last night. He was relieved when he saw her and said thankfully, "The customer is finally back. If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't know how to explain to your friends!"
Before leaving last night, An Jiu had instructed them to tell He Ziqing and the others if she hadn't returned in the morning.
An Jiu smiled and said, "They haven't gotten up yet?"
It was already late. People in ancient times went to bed early at night and usually got up at dawn. When she came over just now, the street outside was already full of people.
The waiter said, "Yes, Mr. He and Ms. Lin got up early in the morning and said they were going to the government office. They didn't ask about you, so I didn't mention it either."
An Jiu took out a small piece of silver and threw it to him: "Not bad."
The waiter complimented him with a smile and happily accepted it.
An Jiu continued to walk up the stairs slowly. She walked very slowly, her feet were soft and numb. The overly sensitive touch made the friction of the clothes unbearable. Every time the cloth rubbed against every inch of her skin, it would cause a tiny shudder.
She held on to the railing and finally climbed up the stairs, a thin layer of sweat forming on the tip of her nose.
There was a corner at the end of the stairs. When she turned around, she suddenly bumped into someone.
The man was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a white robe, with loose black hair. His dark and warm eyes looked straight over with a look of surprise.
"Miss An?"
An Jiu was able to keep her balance, but with this collision, her knee hit his leg. The collision was not serious, but to her it was like a comet hitting the earth. A pain accompanied by numbness spread from her knee to her entire leg, and then to her entire body.
His eyes turned red instantly, his legs went limp, and An Jiu suddenly fell forward when he was caught off guard.
The man in front of her reacted quickly and opened his arms to catch her.
"Woo~"
When had the young lady ever suffered such an injustice? An Jiu lay in the man's arms, sitting diagonally on his legs, clutching his collar tightly with her ten fingers, whimpering in pain.
She raised her head with tearful eyes, met the man's surprised gaze, and couldn't help crying: "Pei Ji, you hurt me! It hurts so much, it's all your fault!"
The young man in white looked at a loss: "I..."
"Don't deny it, this is your fault!" The girl yelled with tears in her eyes, but her body was shaking due to the pain and her voice seemed weak.
It reminds me of an angry kitten, whose loud meowing sounds like it is acting coquettishly.
"Miss An, I didn't use any force..."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard downstairs, probably someone was going upstairs.
An Jiu's body froze, and he quickly pulled Pei Ji's collar, nervously saying, "Someone is coming! Take me back to the room quickly, and don't let anyone see me!"
If someone saw her crying in a man's arms, would her reputation be ruined if it got out?
Pei Ji suggested: "Miss An can get off me first."
With tears in his eyes, An Jiu said fiercely, "I said it hurts, I can't get up! Carry me back!"
"Miss An, I am a cripple..."
"Your hand is not lame! Isn't the wheelchair pushed by hand? Hurry, hurry, he is coming up!"
“…”
