Dream Broken You Pavilion

Chapter 66 Late Night Tracking

After everything was arranged properly, Jing'er let out a long sigh of relief. Although this may not be safe, it will still be useful to some extent.

After dinner at Xushi, Jing'er opened the south window, looked at the dark shadows of the distant mountains, breathed in the earthy air, and wanted to go for a walk.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, the guard stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going, Miss, we will take you out."

Jing'er said: "I'll just walk in front of the door, so I won't bother you to accompany me."

The guards looked at each other, seeing that she was determined not to accompany her, and they couldn't force it, so they had to repeatedly tell her not to go far.

Jing'er was not familiar with other places on the mountain, so she really didn't dare to go far, so she followed the road to Xiaoyuntian's house that she often took, and walked aimlessly in the forest while thinking about her own thoughts.

There seem to be more guards patrolling tonight than usual, and after walking for half a minute, you will meet a group of guards holding torches. Now most of the guards know Jing'er, and when they see each other, they all hold their fists and bow respectfully, and Jing'er also treats everyone with a reserved smile return gift.

It seems that the men in black raided the other courtyard last night, which made Shang Wuyang more nervous, and strengthened the night patrol in the mountains.

Unknowingly drifting away, when she faintly saw the high wall of the house, she turned around and started to walk back. At the moment of turning around, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a black shadow in the distant forest from the corner of her eye. And pass.

Jing'er was startled immediately, she hurriedly dodged behind a tree, and swept her eyes into the forest, but she didn't see anything. Jing'er thought she was dazzled, turned around, and suddenly saw the black man clearly. The shadow shuttled through the forest, and this time she knew it was definitely not her dazzled eyes.

She hid her body behind the tree again, and looked into the forest with all her eyesight, but lost her target again. She couldn't help the curiosity in her heart. She bravely walked to the place where she had just seen the black shadow. After more than ten steps, he saw the black figure again less than twenty steps ahead.

The black shadow is thin and thin, looks like a woman, seems to be holding a small package in her hand, and hides her body behind a tree from time to time to avoid the guards patrolling with torches, so she hides and hides so she can't walk fast , suddenly the black shadow looked back, Jing'er hurriedly hid her body behind the tree, and then remembered that she was wearing a black dress today, so hidden in the night, it was excellent for tracking, she couldn't help but praise Snow Lotus is really foresight.

Jing'er cautiously followed twenty steps away, her eyes firmly locked on the target.

Along the way, I don't know how far it has been. After about an hour, the black shadow came to a dark mountain depression. There were not many tall trees in front of it, and there were only waist-high shrubs. Not daring to go any further, seeing the man walking in through the bushes from afar, Jing'er came out from behind the tree, the cat bent down for a while and trotted and squatted behind the bushes, quietly stretched out its head and looked forward.

The black shadow continued to move forward until it suddenly disappeared when it reached the cliff.Jing'er secretly wondered, where did the man in black go?Is there a cave on the cliff?After scanning her eyes for a long time, she didn't see her again, so Jing'er continued to search for her.

There was a sound of "stab" and she turned her head to look, only to see that the hem of the long gown was scraped off by the barbs of the bushes. She didn't care about arranging her clothes, and ran all the way back to the forest with her back bent, hiding in a three-spotted tree. The person hugged the big tree and stared at the cliff, but there was no trace of the person for a long time.Jing'er turned her head to look at the piece of cloth that was torn from the hem of the skirt behind her. It was hanging on the bottom, like a tail trailing behind. At the root of the root, I thought: At any rate, I, Wu Kexin, came here for a visit.

After a while, the black shadow finally appeared on the cliff, and she was seen walking all the way through the bushes towards the forest. Jing'er's back was pressed against the big tree, her heart beating faster.The man stepped into the woods and quickened his pace, seemingly returning the same way.

Does this person live in the house?Curiosity drove Jing'er to follow closely all the way.The man walked faster and faster, and Jing'er almost had to trot all the way to keep up. She didn't dare to breathe harder, for fear of being heard. After taking a rest, he tried to continue following, but the man had long since disappeared.

Walking randomly in the forest for a while, looking at the dense forest around, "Woo—" "Ah—" the owl's horrifying hoots came, and she was frightened and walked quickly as if fleeing.When she came here, she followed the man in black all the way. Where is the way back now?After finding a direction, I continued to move forward.

But the more she walked, the more strange she became, and the forest became denser. She still remembered that when she went there, although she was in the forest, there was no high slope, but now, she was standing alone on a hillside.

This is a completely unfamiliar environment. There is a white crescent moon hanging in the gray-black sky above the head. The stars are covered by dark clouds, and it is impossible to distinguish the north, south, east, south, and the surrounding area is pitch black. There were bursts of hooting, and the owl's eerie hooting made her scalp tingle, and occasionally she heard a wolf howl or two.Jing'er was frightened, she couldn't see Xiaoyuntian's tall house, she couldn't see other courtyards, she didn't hear the sound of the waterfall, and even the guards patrolling the mountain didn't see a single one, where is this?Where should we go?She knew that she was completely lost.

She sat on the ground, holding her legs tightly, enduring the increasingly cold Xiao Feng at night, tired and sleepy, Xiao Han, where are you, did you go to the border with General Xiao to fight?Dad, are you okay?Where did Xiao Cui go?Is Peier still busy grinding medicine?The red sedan chair, the sound of killing, the scarlet blood on Xiao Han's body, and the burning pain on his face... It was so cold, her body began to tremble slightly, her head became dizzy, and she closed her eyes.

……

"Jing'er, Jing'er, wake up, Jing'er..."

A familiar voice came from her ear, someone shook her body gently, Jing'er forcefully opened her heavy eyelids, surrounded by the light of torches, when she looked up, she saw Shang Wuyang's anxious and slightly pale face. s face.

"Jing'er, are you awake? Why did you come here? Are you okay..."

Listening to his voice calling, Jing'er only felt that the voice was getting farther and farther away from her, and finally she couldn't hear it anymore.

……

When Jing'er woke up, she was already in her room. She sat up, feeling dizzy and sore all over her body.

"Jing'er."

Shang Wuyang's face appeared in front of her again.

"Why is it you again?" Jing'er frowned, her voice was nasal, and she sniffed her nose.

"What? Don't you want to see me?"

Shang Wuyang showed an angry look on his face, and said: "Don't wait to see me, I brought you back..."

His bloodshot eyes shot out with anger, "What did you go to that mountain in the middle of the night? Don't you know that there are wild beasts on the mountain? If you miss, you can jump off the stairs, choke yourself to death by biting a steamed bun, or make a fool of yourself." You don’t need to run so far to feed the beasts if you poison yourself with snake venom, right? What a crazy woman!”

After being reprimanded by him, Jing'er's head doubled in size, she frowned and raised her hand to dig her ears, saying:

"Keep down, it's so noisy."

"you……"

Shang Wuyang swallowed the words, and only stared at her fiercely with angry eyes.

Jing'er sat on the bed for a long time, then suddenly sneezed twice, then recalled what happened last night, and asked with a confused face:

"Last night, I really thought I was going to be a snack for the wolves. How did you find me?"

Shang Wuyang glared at her and said angrily:

"Last night, the guards of the other courtyard came to report that you were going to go out for a walk alone after dinner and didn't let them follow. They saw that you were walking to the courtyard, so they didn't follow. Who knows, you haven't come back after two hours. , They searched around the other courtyard, but there was no trace of you, so they came all the way to me, but they didn't dare to say anything, so I took them to look around, but who knew you ran up to Beishan, and you were affected by the mountain wind. You got a cold, and you fainted again. What are you doing there alone?"

He crackled and reprimanded him, but Jing'er was not angry at all, or she was weak and had no strength to fight him at all, and said in a low voice:

"You came out to look for me, do the people in the house know?"

Shang Wuyang shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just took the guards from other courtyards to look for it. I told them not to say anything. They are very tight-lipped and won't say anything."

"That's good,"

Jing'er breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand to pat her aching head, and said, "Last night, I saw a man in black chasing after him."

"Man in black?"

Shang Wuyang was startled, "Why is there another man in black? You still dare to follow him, are you really not afraid of death?"

Jing'er said: "The man in black was carrying something in his hand. He walked to the edge of a cliff, there was a bush, and then he went in, and it took a long time to come out. When he walked back, the thing in his hand disappeared. I walked very fast, my legs didn't work, I couldn't keep up, and finally lost track, and then I lost myself."

"He is carrying something? What is it?" Shang Wuyang asked.

Jing'er replied: "It's dark, I can't see clearly. There were no stars last night, so I can't tell the direction."

Shang Wuyang asked: "Do you still remember where that cliff is?"

Jing'er frowned and shook her head, "Now that I think about it, when I come out of the forest, there is a whole bush in front of me, and then there is a cliff."

Shang Wuyang said: "There are many cliffs and bushes on the mountain, how can I find them like you say?"

Jing'er said: "I probably remember the direction to go. By the way, last night I was wearing black clothes. I tore off a strip of cloth next to a bush and tied it to the root of a tree surrounded by three people. I can draw a rough picture for you."

Speaking of this, when she got out of bed, she felt dizzy as soon as her feet touched the ground. Shang Wuyang hurriedly stretched out his hands to help her, complaining angrily:

"Don't be so brave in the future. If you don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, you will follow others like others. You won't be afraid of being discovered by others, and you will make yourself so embarrassed."

Jing'er listened to his ramblings, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. She walked to the table and sat down, took a pen and paper, drew a sketch from her memory and handed it over, saying:

"However, the person in black is about the same size as me. I always think it's a woman. I saw her from the woods near the house. She went to the cliff and returned the same way. If I read correctly, she should have returned to The house or near the house."

Shang Wuyang fell into deep thought, and said for a while, "Woman? Is it from my Xiao Yuntian? Or the man in black who attacked you?"

"Maybe, maybe not, I can't see clearly."

Jing'er said, "You might as well divide your troops into two groups. One group of people will follow my map to find the cliff, report it immediately after finding it, and the other group will find out who left the house between Xu Shi and Zi Shi last night."

Shang Wuyang nodded and said: "Okay, I'll check right away."

Jing'er said: "Remember, check quietly, don't startle the snake."

"it is good."

"Wait," Jing'er said, "I'll write you another prescription, please send someone to bring me some medicine."

Shang Wuyang stared and said: "You still know you need to take medicine? What medicine do you take when you are ready to feed the wolves?"

While prescribing a prescription for herself, Jing'er said, "There is a lot of humidity on the mountain. Your medicinal materials will get moldy if you buy them or not. I'll help you consume a little."

"Then should I thank you?"

"of course."

Jing'er wrote the prescription and handed it to him, and said: "Be careful, don't leak any rumors, otherwise it will be difficult for you to catch this person. Also, don't tell anyone about my medicine. As usual, understand?"

Shang Wuyang took a deep look at her, slapped his throat and said "huh", pulled his face and said:

"I asked Xuelian to get you some breakfast."

Seeing him turn around and leave, Jing'er staggered to the front of the bed and sat down, took out the golden hairpin inlaid with jade from under the pillow, with a gentle look in her eyes, she whispered:

"I can't feed the wolf, or you won't be able to see me. Xiao Han, do you miss me?"
