Chapter 18 Palpitations "Miss, your ears are red."
Li You curled up in a corner of the bed.
After a few breaths, she woke up suddenly and turned around to look into Yin Zhiyi's face. It was not the pair of resentful eyes she saw in her dream.
She stared at her hands in a daze; everything was fine.
She is still alive.
Yin Zhiyi just heard from the male and female protagonists that Liyou was found in a paper-making factory. Although there was some ghost aura on her body, no other abnormalities were found.
Her face was dull, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock.
Yin Zhiyi's eyes were sharp. He smiled and touched the top of her hair. When his fingertips passed by, a hint of gold flashed: "Awake?"
[The soul is fine and not possessed, which is strange. 】The coldness in her eyes faded away, and she was about to step back, but someone hugged her waist the next second.
Yin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
Li You felt the tenderness above her head, and fearfully buried herself in Yin Zhiyi's arms again.
Yin Zhiyi: ...
Has your own personality collapsed?
But it didn't matter. She was just testing it before, but now she was sure that even if her character was ruined, there seemed to be no problem...
She reluctantly reached out to comfort the person in her arms.
Li You’s face was pale and his heart was beating uncontrollably.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the eerie cellar, a wall full of black pottery jars, and in the middle a statue of a god, standing on a golden lotus and holding two dolls in his hands.
As soon as she entered, she heard screams and cries one after another, and then countless black mists pounced on her, just like when she slipped and fell into the bone-incorruptible cave before, and then she lost consciousness.
She met the eyes of Yan Shiman behind Yin Zhiyi. When the boy saw her gaze, the gentleness on his face faded and he smiled evilly.
Li You lowered his head again as if he had been electrocuted.
Seeing that the person had woken up, Ji Ci tapped the table with his fingers, looking quite intimidating without being angry: "Your last name is Fu."
It is not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
Li You's face froze, but he obviously knew that as long as he came to the villa, the matter would eventually be revealed.
She nodded weakly.
But she was obviously afraid that everyone would think she had ulterior motives, so she immediately dipped some tea in the water and started writing something on the table.
The course of events was simple. As Ji Ci and Bai Zhixing had expected, Fu Yongchuan's death was not accidental.
After He Xi came back from Xianyun County, he talked to the old village chief about something. The next day, the old village chief took the villagers to Fu's house, and soon the Fu's house was burned to ruins.
Li You witnessed everything and was afraid that He Xi and the old village chief would kill her, so she escaped from Wangyou Villa. Unexpectedly, she fell into the tiger's mouth just after escaping from the wolf's den.
Ji Ci: "How much do you know about He Xi?"
Li You paused. Although Fu Yongchuan had never allowed her to leave the Fu family before, she did hide secretly in the villa for a while after the Fu family was wiped out.
He actually knows a lot.
For example, on the fifteenth night of every month, a group of carriages and horses would gather outside the paper-making factory.
"He Xi is a businessman, but that doesn't mean anything. Maybe those carriages and horses are here to pick up goods like us?"
Li You shook her head. She had seen the ruts left by the wheels, and the depths were different when carrying cargo and people.
...But it's hard to say for sure. After all, the wheel tracks are so light that they are almost non-existent. Maybe there wasn't even a person on board.
Her scalp suddenly felt tingling.
When she was leaving, Bai Zhixing asked her one last question: "Liyou, did you see who cast the sleeping spell on you?"
Li You lowered his eyes, with a look of fatigue on his face, and finally just shook his head.
Bai Zhixing saw that she was really tired, so he just touched her head in the end.
She and Ji Ci are going to visit the paper-making factory tonight. Most of the villagers in Wangyou Villa work in the paper-making factory during the day, so going there at night can save a lot of trouble.
She gave a few of the communication symbols in her hand to Yin Zhiyi and Yan Shiman respectively.
"Be careful."
Although Bai Zhixing knew that Yin Zhiyi was not completely powerless, her preconceived ideas when they first met were too strong.
In addition, the evil spirit in her body had not yet been resolved, so she couldn't help but worry.
But when he thought of her previous vicious behavior, he suddenly kept silent.
Very contradictory.
Yin Zhiyi also knew that the heroine meant well. Fortunately, he had taken a lot of things from the City Lord's Mansion before. He originally wanted to bring a sword, but was afraid that it would be too conspicuous. In the end, he put a small dagger on his waist just in case.
In the evening, He Xi's people arrived early as expected.
Two big and strong women stood on the left and right.
When they saw Yin Zhiyi, their eyes lit up.
"This girl is really pretty."
Wangyou Villa is located in a remote area, and the village is basically populated by clan members. If it weren't for the good development of the paper-making factory in recent years, it would basically be isolated from the world.
At most, I would go to a small town not far away and exchange some cloth, tea or something like that.
They didn't care whether Yin Zhiyi was a lady or not. As soon as they arrived, they pushed Yan Shiman aside and pulled Yin Zhiyi aside to chat about family matters.
He is so familiar that it is scary.
Yan Shiman's face suddenly became unhappy. There was that rotten and disgusting smell again. He followed his eyes and looked at Yin Zhiyi who was squeezed between two women.
He originally thought that Yin Zhiyi would shake off the hands of the two men, but unexpectedly, he saw the three of them starting a conversation.
Yan Shiman’s eyes grew even darker.
Yin Zhiyi: “…”
She didn't want to pay attention at first, but she wanted to find out some information, so she still responded from time to time. However, she didn't expect that the two women looked honest but were actually very shrewd.
Avoid the important and focus on the trivial, and be impeccable.
Yin Zhiyi tried his best to talk but failed to obtain any useful information. Instead, he heard a lot of gossip.
The charity hall was very close to the original Fu family's home, just across a street. After the fire, only black ruins remained of the Fu family's home.
Yin Zhiyi pointed at that place and asked, "Whose house is that? It's burned so badly."
One of the women glanced at them and waved her hand: "Don't mention it. The Fu family had an accidental fire."
“It looks pretty serious.”
"That's right, everyone is dead."
"I heard that this boss Fu was the owner of a paper-making factory before?" Yin Zhiyi said calmly.
The woman sighed, "When this person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pushed another woman beside her, "Do you think the village head's daughter went crazy because of this?"
The woman glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say it was for the children?"
Are you talking about the crazy woman we saw earlier? After finally getting some useful information, Yin Zhiyi didn't dare to say anything and just listened silently.
Only then did I discover that Boss Fu and the old village chief were actually in-laws.
Fu Yongchuan's adopted son, Fu Linzhou is the husband of the village chief's daughter.
Yin Zhiyi frowned: [It's strange, the old village chief actually chose to join forces with He Xi to kill his own in-laws. It doesn't make sense. 】
[And He Xi, he made a special trip back to Wangyou Villa from Xianyun County, it couldn't be just for a paper-making factory, right? 】
She lagged behind the two women by a few steps and moved closer to Yan Shiman who was standing beside her.
"After we go in, you must follow me closely. Do you hear me?"
Yin Zhiyi was not actually worried about her safety when she was awake. The most terrible thing was the evil spirit in her body, which might break out at any time.
And now the sky is beginning to darken.
Fortunately, it is summer and the sun sets late, so we can delay it for a while.
Seeing Yin Zhiyi's nervousness, Yan Shiman suddenly chuckled: "Of course, I will do my best to ensure the lady's safety."
The last two words, safety, were emphasized very strongly.
It seems like a promise.
The sound is like the sound of spring water, clean and clear.
Yin Zhiyi felt a burning sensation on the tips of her ears, and she felt the chest at her back trembling due to the laughter. Only then did she realize that she and Yan Shiman were very close to each other, with almost no gap between them.
Hard.
Thinking back to the last time she applied medicine to Yan Shiman, although she did not see the beauty of his chest, the muscular lines behind him showed that Yan Shiman was indeed the type who looked thin when dressed and had good looks when undressed.
Yin Zhiyi jumped away as if escaping. Her eyes swept over Yan Shiman awkwardly. The young man had black hair tied up high, with some hair scattered on his forehead. He had fair skin and long, slightly curled eyelashes.
There were green earrings hanging on his earlobes, and his youthfulness was tinged with a bit of coolness. Her eyes paused slightly. She had always known that Yan Shiman had a good appearance, but -
[Why is the figure so great? Is this the configuration of the second male lead? 】
[Oh my god, my face is a little hot, my ears...]
Yin Zhiyi found that this body was a little embarrassed because of its white skin, and the redness was particularly obvious.
Next second.
"Miss, your ears are red." Yan Shiman blew innocently at Yin Zhiyi, as if trying to cool her down.
At this moment, Yin Zhiyi's heart beat suddenly irregularly.
【? . . Is it that obvious? 】
"Ahem, the weather is too hot." She argued while pushing Yan Shiman away, and then plunged into the conversation between the two women with lightning speed.
Yan Shiman took a breath of the lingering fragrance in the air. He couldn't deny that he found that he didn't seem to be so averse to her contact. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It’s really interesting. Interesting things should be played seriously to maximize their value.
The charity hall is actually the name of several houses combined, covering a large area.
As it was getting late, we arranged accommodation for the two of them first.
The two women handed the person over to the housekeeper and left. The housekeeper was a square-faced girl named Fu Xiaoqi. Almost everyone in the village has the surname Fu, and they are all related. For example, Fu Xiaoqi is the cousin daughter of the old village chief Fu.
The little girl spoke softly and seemed to have a very good temper. She held two keys in her hand and explained, "There has been a spring drought recently, and there are many more children in the charity hall. Accommodation is very tight."
"So your accommodations are a bit far apart."
Fu Xiaoqi glanced at Yan Shiman and smiled shyly: "Master Yan, this is your key."
Yan Shiman took it and said, "Thank you."
Fu Xiaoqi's face instantly turned mature, and she said in a mosquito-like voice, "You're welcome." She had never seen such a handsome man before. Even Brother Niu, the best-looking man in the village, was instantly overshadowed by him.
Fu Xiaoqi felt like he was falling in love.
Yin Zhiyi glanced at Yan Shiman, who was as gentle as jade: [This face is really attractive. 】
Seeing that Fu Xiaoqi was about to pass him by, he wished he could hand both keys to Yan Shiman.
Yin Zhiyi finally coughed out: "Miss Xiaoqi? Excuse me, how far is far?"
Fu Xiaoqi came back to his senses: "It's not very far, it will only take about ten minutes to walk there."
Yin Zhiyi: “…”
[If something goes wrong in ten minutes, the day lily will be cold. 】
She and Yan Shiman looked at each other, but didn't say anything. Finally, she took the key from Fu Xiaoqi.
When leaving, Fu Xiaoqi shyly said goodbye: "See you tomorrow, Master Yan."
Then when he looked at Yin Zhiyi, he immediately became normal: "See you tomorrow, Miss Yin."
Yin Zhiyi: “…”
