Ruyi [published edition]

The Zeng Mansion was already dilapidated, Ruyi originally wanted to go around to the back garden and sneak in through the wall, but she never expected to meet Gu Fei on Temple Street.

When Gu Fei saw him, he seemed to be taken aback. He came up to him and asked him with a smile, "Long time no see, little brother, where did you go to play?"

If Ruyi was seen by this person, she couldn't turn around and leave, but she just said, "Brother Gu, it's a coincidence that I met you. Now I really have something difficult. I don't know if you will help me."

Gu Fei said politely, "If there is anything I can help, just ask."

Ruyi is not surprised, this person really knows who he is, so he tries his best to win him over and please him.

Ruyi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to trick someone into eating something, but that person knows me, so I'm afraid he won't be fooled by me."

Gu Fei snorted, and asked him with a smile, "It's not a big deal, it's just a good thing, why bother to play tricks on others?"

Ruyi coughed twice, and said, "It's just that he said he hated snake meat the most in his life, so I just wanted him to eat Huanxi, and then expose him, wouldn't it be interesting?" He added, "I still have some spare money, Gu If elder brother is willing to help me this time, I will buy some wine for you to drink."

Gu Fei waved his hand and said, "This old man is talking about being a teenager, so I will accompany you through this."

Ruyi couldn't hold back, laughed, and said, "Thank you very much. I'll hunt snakes first, and then I'll look for you on the street."

After finishing speaking, he said his goodbyes and went around three times and two times, until he could no longer see anyone, and then he felt relieved.His injuries were not healed yet, and he didn't dare to climb over the wall, so he sneaked in through the dog hole in the back garden of the Zeng Mansion.

When seeing Jixiang goodbye, Ruyi was taken aback.But I haven't seen her for more than a month, and she actually lost a lot of weight.

Ruyi pinched Ji Xiang's arm angrily, and asked, "Why did you do this, don't you know how to eat well?"

Ji Xiang's eyes were red, and he asked, "How are you doing outside these days?"

Ruyi saw that the auspicious situation was not good, so she said, "It's just a day-to-day counting."

Jixiang lowered his eyes, and it took him a long time to tell him about the Zeng family.It would be better if Ruyi didn't listen, but he would be surprised when he heard it.It turned out that Zeng Rui was so obsessed with obsession that he had already reached such a field, and he still had to go out to gamble every day, mortgaged the few remaining properties of his family on the gambling table, which made it easier for outsiders.Some of the servants who were still at home were also sold by Zeng Rui.

Ruyi heard this and quickly asked her, "He wants to sell you too?"

Ji Xiang shook his head.

Ruyi snorted and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to find the contract between you and me, or he would have sold it long ago."

Ji Xiang said sadly, "He wasn't like this before... I was the one who killed him."

Ruyi thinks of Wu Ciren, that person would not say such a thing, and if something happens, he will only bear it on his own shoulders.

When Ruyi thought of this person, she felt sad, shook her head desperately, and said, "A person like him should suffer and suffer. Now that there is no one in the house, you wash and cook for him every day, and serve him in daily life." , Has he ever asked your name and thanked you?"

Tears welled up in Ji Xiang's eyes, and he said slowly, "He is the master, and I am the servant, so it is my duty to serve him."

Ruyi was a little angry, "Nonsense, who is born to serve others? You treat him so wholeheartedly, and he doesn't even ask, where are the eyes?"

If Jixiang felt sad, thinking of Wu Ciren, she was also depressed, and her tone softened, persuading her, "Let's go to Mother Long to plead guilty, and you don't stick to him anymore. Poor and lowly couples are sad, and you are nothing to him. people."

Ji Xiang shook his head gently and said, "I want to stay by his side, even if I can only go back to the jade pendant, as long as I can be with him."

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly dared not look into Jixiang's eyes.

He also really wanted to be by Wu Ciren's side, wanted to see how Wu Ciren was doing, wanted to know if that person missed him a little bit, wanted to see the way that person raised his eyebrows and smiled, even if it was just a few mean words to him.

During the half month he was on the layman's road, thinking about that person made his heart ache, but he didn't dare, and couldn't go back.

Ruyi was quiet for a long time before saying, "Since that's the case, I'm afraid it's useless to say anything, so you stay here and do everything for yourself."

Ji Xiang looked at him in a panic and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ruyi avoided answering, just said, "I have something urgent to do."

Jixiang pursed his lips, untied a half-old silk ribbon from his wrist, and begged him, "You tie this on your wrist."

"What is this for?" Ruyi asked suspiciously.

Ji Xiang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, this is Master's property. I can't escape the death penalty anyway, so I might as well give it to you."

Jixiang is obedient, well-behaved, and considerate, unlike him who has a bad mouth and a lot of eyes. Master naturally likes her, and it is not surprising that he gave her this at the beginning, but he never knew it, so it is inevitable that he feels a little uncomfortable.

Ruyi wanted to untie it, but Jixiang knelt down in front of him.

Ruyi looked at her in surprise, but after thinking about it, she understood, "Do you want me to help you take care of him?" Jixiang begged him, "I have never asked you for anything in my life, only this one I beg you to answer me."

Ruyi suddenly wanted to laugh, one asked him to serve the old man, and the other asked him to take care of his lover, didn't he look like a heartless guy who wouldn't feel sad even if he was left alone?

Ruyi really wanted to tear off the silk tape and throw it on the ground, but she couldn't do such a heartless thing, so she just held back her breath and said, "Okay, if I still live until then, I will naturally take care of him for you."

Ji Xiang's face turned pale, and he said, "I'm the one who got you involved."

Ruyi shook her head and asked her, "By the way, have you ever heard of a fairy named Ah Heng in the sky?"

Jixiang shook his head in bewilderment, Ruyi was a little frustrated, but still did not give up, and added, "His true identity is a Garuda that eats dragons."

Jixiang was more likable than him when he was serving the master in heaven, and he knew more than him.

Jixiang let out an "ah" and said, "Are you asking about Mr. Hengshan?"

"Huh?" Ruyi's heart skipped a beat. Is Mr. Hengshan Wu Ciren? Wu Ciren did mention Hengshan, but he clearly said that he has no name.

Feeling bored, Ruyi nodded, "That's him... what do you know?"

Jixiang said, "I heard from the goddess that he is the god in charge of the criminal law. The Emperor of Heaven specially rewarded Hengshan Mountain to him because he is impartial and impartial. He used to have no name. Since then, people began to call He is Lord Hengshan."

Ruyi laughed, thinking of Wu Ciren's cold face and those harsh words, this person is simply cold by nature, so it's not that he acted without bias.

"What else do you know about him?" Ruyi couldn't help asking.

Ji Xiang said awkwardly, "I only heard people say that his heart is cold and hard. If the crime falls into his hands, no matter how much you beg, it will be useless, but Master said..."

Ruyi didn't expect that this person actually knew the master, her eyes widened, and she kept asking, "What did you say?"

Ji Xiang smiled wryly, "Master said, Mr. Hengshan is actually a good person."

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and thought again, no wonder this person recognized who he was.

"Why did you mention him all of a sudden?" Jixiang asked him suspiciously.

Ruyi smiled, and said indifferently, "I accidentally provoked him."

Jixiang was shocked and said, "Don't you know how powerful he is, how dare you provoke him?"

Ruyi said innocently, "I really don't know who he is."

Jixiang thought for a while, helped him to tie the silk ribbon on his wrist tightly, and said solemnly, "Mr. Hengshan has some friendship with Master, maybe he will let you go for his sake."

Ruyi knew that she shouldn't make her feel sad, even if she did something irreversible for that Zeng Rui, even if she ruined their lives for that Zeng Rui, but in the end, only this person was her own. The dearest person in the world.

Ruyi said with a smile, "He won't harm me. I said I would be with him forever. He likes me very much and treats me very well."

He said it so firmly that even he almost believed it.It seemed that he could just walk in front of Wu Ciren, not afraid that this person would see that he had turned into a dragon, or that this person would crush his bones and swallow him.

He lied to Jixiang, and he also lied to himself.

They couldn't escape death after all, but at least she wouldn't miss him so much, and wouldn't be so worried.

Ruyi searched for three days before he found the trace of those two people. He secretly dragged a beggar from one side, gave a few orders quietly, and then went to look for Gu Fei.

Ruyi was afraid that the two of them would go far away, so she walked in a hurry, and when she saw Gu Fei, she was already sweating.Ruyi told him where the two were, then handed over the bamboo basket she was carrying, and said, "Go quickly, you won't be able to find them if it's too late."

Gu Fei was drinking tea in the shop, when he saw him coming in, he smiled and said, "I see you are in a hurry, let's have a sip of tea first, then I'm going, you wait for me here."

After speaking, he called the waiter to serve tea, and said, "Give this guest the Yunwu tea I just drank."

No matter how anxious Ruyi was, she couldn't show it, so she could only say awkwardly, "Brother, please trouble me, I bet a few taels of silver for this fellow, my heart aches."

Ruyi rushed all the way, also thirsty, and talked for a long time, and when the tea came up, she drank it all in one gulp, not afraid of being laughed at.

Gu Fei glanced at him, saw that he drank the tea and showed a meaningful smile, and then walked out.

Ruyi waited for Gu Fei to walk out of the shop before putting down the teacup.On his cut arm, he just wrapped it indiscriminately, and hurried over to see Gu Fei, but he didn't dare to show it, so he had to force a smile, pretending to be the same as usual.

As soon as Gu Fei left, the tight string in Ruyi's heart was finally relaxed, but the piercing pain in his arm made him break out in a cold sweat.

Ruyi called the boy who served tea, chatted with him for a long time, and when it came to Zhu's mother, the boy sighed and said, "Zhu's mother is really pitiful."

Ruyi's heart skipped a beat and she asked him what happened.

"Isn't her family's grandson sick? I want to find a nobleman to get rid of the evil spirits. Ah Rong from the silk and satin village told him a few days ago that the girl's date of birth can be matched with the date of birth. My mother didn't want it, saying that the nobleman was a man. The one who often came to sell vegetables on the street was the tall one. She said that she was also born in the first month, but she couldn't remember the date. Maybe she could blow it up and ask Zhu's mother Go look for the purple bamboo flute. I think that person is just cheating on eating and drinking, and Zhu's mother actually believed him!"

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly became confused. What did this person do so carelessly?He was afraid that this person would do something unspeakable.

Ruyi asked him, "Then, did he say when to come back?"

The guy thought for a while and said, "He said that there are some things to take care of at home first, and it's just a few days?"

No matter how unlucky these words sounded, Ruyi was so anxious that she hurried out and looked at Zhu's mother. It was a good look, which made him turn pale with shock.

It turned out that the young man in white was holding a sword in his hand and forced Gu Fei to walk all the way towards him. People on both sides rushed and exclaimed, and those who were bold shouted, report to the police.The man turned a deaf ear to it.

Ruyi was startled at first, then happy again, thinking, he must have eaten, otherwise it would be impossible to be so angry, but after being happy, she became afraid again.He hurriedly backed away, grabbed the guy and asked, "Where can I hide?"

Seeing him flustered, the guy stammered, "No, no, there's only one well in the backyard."

Without further ado, Ruyi pushed the man away and went straight to the backyard without taking off her clothes, just jumped down the edge of the well. After closing her eyes, she thought that her death was nothing, but she would just die again from now on. I can't see Wu Ciren anymore.

He thought of the cruelty and resentment in the young man's eyes, and couldn't help but feel sad. Wu Ciren gave in desperately, and it was such a person who rescued him.

Ruyi turned into a dragon in the water, held the clothes in her mouth, and dived along the water until she saw the light, as if she felt something in her heart, she floated out of the water, and she still turned into a human body, twisting the clothes on her panting. of water.

Just twisting and twisting, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then took a closer look at the surrounding scene, he was so scared that he couldn't move for a long time.It turned out that this was the small river that he and Wu Ciren often came to. The underground river connected by the well was actually connected to the river outside the city.

He went to Temple Street to look for Gu Fei during the day, and he deliberately avoided the time when this person was entering the city, for fear that he would run into him.Unexpectedly, after hiding thousands of times, he came back here.

Looking at the ups and downs of the river, Ruyi had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he asked himself a little infatuatedly, if God also knows my mind, so let me meet him.

After all, I was still hesitant and afraid in my heart, so what if I saw it, Ruyi laughed at myself, and sent it to him to eat, so what if I finished eating?

But another voice in his heart kept saying to him, you are going to die anyway, since he was born to eat dragons, then you can give him to eat it, so what if he eats it?Isn't this better than dying at the hands of Dragon Mother?

Ruyi clenched the clothes in his hand in pain, he knew that he was wishing extravagantly, hoping that he would be different from others in Wu Ciren's heart.

But at the end, he didn't even have the courage to face it.

Ruyi thought about it, and said to herself in her heart, even if it was to take a peek at Wu Ciren.When he was hesitating, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone behind him. When he turned around, he saw Wu Ciren standing there looking at him coldly.

Ruyi just felt as if a bucket of snow water had been poured on his head, making his whole body cold.How could he forget that he has this person's feathers on his body, and this person will notice when he gets close.

No wonder he swam here, as if he felt something in his heart, he couldn't help but swim out.

Wu Ciren walked towards him, Ruyi opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, but remembered that he was still naked, so he hurriedly shook off the clothes in his hand, and hurriedly put them on.

Wu Ciren stood in front of him, pinched his chin, and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Are you here to see my joke? Are you with them?"

"Who?" Ruyi couldn't help asking back.He didn't know what happened here after he left, and he was very confused.

Wu Ciren looked at him indifferently and disdainfully, and Ruyi's heart ached, knowing that no matter what happened, this person was already suspicious, thinking that he and the Dragon Clan were colluding with each other.

Wu Ciren used a lot of strength in his hand, and Ruyi almost cried in pain, but he was suffocating in his heart, and he didn't dodge or open his mouth, but just looked at Wu Ciren straight.

Wu Ciren's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he let go of his hand, and put it on his neck. After a while, he said disdainfully, "You really went to Longmen."

Ruyi was taken aback, and panicked, she opened her mouth to argue, "I'm not...I'm..."

Wu Ciren didn't allow him to defend himself, and said angrily, "It's just that it's fine. I gave you the flying feather, but I was blind." Wu Ciren's hand slowly exerted strength, and his voice was filled with resentment. "But you still think it's not enough, and you come here to lie to me again, do you think I still believe you?"

Flustered, Ruyi pointed at the sky and swore, "I didn't come back to harm you. If I'm not telling the truth, I'd rather be struck by lightning."

Wu Ciren sneered and said, "You have ignorant of my flying feathers, and you came here hiding your worries. If you didn't have evil intentions, would you still want to rekindle your old relationship with me? I thought your heart was pure, but I didn't expect your intentions to be so sinister."

Ruyi shook her head in a panic, "What Wangyou? I don't understand what you're talking about. I swam here from the well to avoid my enemies. How could I expect such a coincidence? I..."

Wu Ciren's complexion changed, he sneered slightly, and said, "I guessed that you would say that, did you lure him here to take the opportunity to take my life? You don't know how to hide the smell of forgetfulness on your body!"

Ruyi was startled, thinking, could it be that the man came here chasing him, and met Wu Ciren?He was anxious in his heart, and quickly asked, "Did he hurt you?"

Wu Ciren sneered, and said, "What are you doing pretending to be like this? You see, I'm here well, and I don't know how disappointed I am."

Ruyi froze there, desperate in her heart, no matter how to explain, this person would not believe him anymore, she felt extremely sad, but she couldn't speak.

Wu Ciren approached him, the two of them were so close that it made him tremble all over.Wu Ciren looked into his eyes without moving, and said in a deep voice, "You haven't grown up yet, you are so vicious and deceptive, even I fell for your trick..." Wu Ciren said here, But suddenly stopped, and pushed him away with disgust on his face.

Ruyi couldn't stand still, and fell down on the rocky beach by the river. She was so painful that she shed tears, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear what Wu Ciren said.

Ruyi reluctantly said, "I didn't collude with the Dragon Clan. I went to the Dragon Gate. It was just my wishful thinking. I wanted to be reborn. I didn't have any malicious intentions to harm you."

Wu Ciren laughed, which made his heart go cold.

Ruyi's lips trembled, and she said, "I'm always sorry for you. Then you eat me, and then fly away, stay away from them."

This man's mana is probably not restored yet, and he doesn't know how to avoid disaster, whether eating him will make him feel better.

"Eat you?" Wu Ciren narrowed his eyes and looked at him, unable to see what he was thinking.After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Eating you can't get rid of the hatred in my heart. You taught me to eat you, but I just don't eat it. Tell me, what benefits did they give you, so that you don't even want your life Is it? You should tell me to listen.”

Ruyi opened her mouth, but closed it tightly again.

Seeing that he refused to answer, Wu Ciren looked stubborn, looked down, grabbed his arm, dragged him up without saying a word, and dragged him back home.

Ruyi was flustered and asked, "What are you taking me back for?"

Wu Ciren opened the door and closed the window, then turned back to stare at him, and said to him, "Take off your clothes."

Wu Ciren's eyes turned dark gold at some point, and Ruyi suddenly became a little scared.
