"Hush..." Shili covered her mouth.

Ye Youqing also knew that it was inappropriate to make any noise at this time. She held back her anger and sighed, took Shili's arm away, walked outside the door in silence, walked out of two thresholds, took the tray from the outsider, and walked away again. go back.

Place the tray on a square table.

"Come, come, taste it." The second king took the porcelain plate and placed it in front of Ci Ke.

Ci Ke shook his head.

"I know you are not used to my cottage, but as long as you ask, I can bring you any delicacies from mountains and seas outside." Er Wang said while waving his hand to signal Shili to remove the tea and food.

"But if you want to leave, I'm afraid you can't." Although the man said this with a smile, he inexplicably slowed down his speech, which made people feel depressed.

Ci Ke didn't change his expression, he just put down the bowl and chopsticks, as if he didn't hear it.

"My cottage, people who come here never go out, not to mention I really like you, as long as you are obedient, you don't have to worry about anything." The second king continued, and then lifted the hem of his clothes and got up.

"I ordered people to tidy up the new residence according to the appearance at the bottom of the mountain. If you are tired, go back and rest?" Erwang said.

Ci Ke got up, his eyes crossed the man's scarred face, his eyes were very quiet, but the next moment he lowered his eyes and backed away as if in panic.

Seeing her reaction, Er Wang nodded in satisfaction.

However, Ye Youqing had a panoramic view of the changes in her expression, not knowing what she was thinking, so he raised his heart for a moment.

"Sister Fairy, please come this way." The man pointed out the door and led Ci Ke away step by step. Ye Youqing wanted to follow, but was stopped by the eyes of the second king, so he had to stay where he was, looking at the relationship between the two. The figure disappeared around the corner.

Ye Youqing became agitated visibly with the naked eye, and wanted to follow up secretly, and saw the man with the scar from before stepping in, pointing to the messy square table and saying: "You two clean up this place, and send the dishes to the kitchen. It's up to you With luck, the Second King may still be able to use you, so you don’t have to go back to work underground for now.”

"After tidying up, go to the second big house on the east side, which is your residence, and someone will arrange what you do in the future." After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Ye Youqing and Shili looked at each other, then lowered their heads and cleaned up the dining table.

After sending the things to the kitchen and going out, Ye Youqing stood on the trestle-like steps and looked around. He saw a tile-roofed house standing in the corner of the mountainside, which was completely different from the wooden house next to it. There were even lotus-colored curtains hanging on the windows, fluttering in the wind. with.

Two guards in black stood erect at the door.

It seems that Ci Ke has been locked up, Ye Youqing watched with her lips pursed, not noticing that her nails were pinching her palm, she didn't let go until the stabbing pain came.

"There are guards at the gate, so you must not act rashly during the day, not to mention that Ci Ke is smart and won't put himself in danger." Shi Li put away the dishes and came out, rolling up his sleeves and whispering.

"I know." Ye Youqing looked away and wiped the water on his clothes.

Shili looked at her, his eyes seemed to be mixed with a different kind of emotion, and he asked tentatively, "Since you know that Ci Ke will not have an accident in a short time, why are you so out of your mind?"

"When did I lose my mind?" Ye Youqing said as he walked towards the house pointed by the scarred guard, he accidentally stepped on the empty steps, and staggered a few steps before he stood still.

Looking back, Shili was crossing his arms and looking down at her: "Are you still out of your mind?"

Ye Youqing closed his eyes and sighed. At this time, there were no people in the cottage, so the two of them could talk a little more.

"That man made it clear that he wanted to force Ci Ke to marry him. He is not a gentleman at first sight. Who knows what he will do. No matter how smart Ci Ke is, there is no guarantee that he will not be bullied." Ye Youqing lowered his voice. Said the voice, turned and went down the steps.

It was difficult for her to describe her feelings. When she saw that man wanted to touch Ci Ke, the quietness she had always been proud of flew to the sky.

But how can she tell Shili, admitting that she has secretly classified Ci Ke into her own domain, and she doesn't want others to try to touch him?

Shili behind followed up, the sound of footsteps tapping.

The two turned down the steps in silence, and approached the narrow and long house embedded in the mountain depression. The house was much longer than usual, with two doors opened at both ends, and a smoky and complex atmosphere came from it.

There is the smell of food, a faint smell of herbs, and the smell of someone's feet that haven't been washed for a few days. Mixed together, the eyes are full of tears.

Ye Youqing couldn't help holding his breath, and stood at the door for a while, and then walked in after he got used to it, and saw that the space inside was much narrower than it looked from the outside, with shops on both sides and an aisle in the middle, with many shoes thrown around in a mess socks.

There are still uneaten melons and fruits on the bunk, but although it is messy and dirty, the overall condition is more than a star and a half better than that on the ground floor. At least the quilts on the bunk are not so cold and damp.

There are even two windows for lighting, but they are not open at this time, which is why there is such a strong smell.

Even Shili couldn't stand it anymore, fanning his nose, he stepped forward to open the window, the summer wind blew through with the smell of grass and trees, which was finally soothing.

At this time, everyone didn't know where they were, and the room was empty. Ye Youqing checked it again, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a few hums, mixed with bangs and curses.

"What's going on?" Shili asked.

Ye Youqing shook his head, tiptoed away looking for the sound, walked out the door, turned a corner along the house, and bypassed the scattered rocks on the ground.

The voice was behind the wall, Ye Youqing stopped, leaned his back against the wall, and listened carefully.

"But the thing that the second king specially brought to please the beauties, and now you have dropped it, how do you tell me to explain to the second king!" After kicking a few times, the muffled response was that he had kicked someone.

"Brother, I really didn't mean it. I'm a useless person because of my poor legs. I was pushed by you... Please forgive me!" came a timid voice, which sounded like a young man, and he was very angry. familiar.

Ah Chi?Ye Youqing looked back ten miles, and opened his mouth to her.

"So it's all my fault?" Hearing the words, the man cursed, but stopped kicking people, walked around, picked up a wooden stick with thick arms, and dragged it towards A Chi.

Hearing the voice, he could tell that Ah Chi was frightened, he rustled up along the wall, and begged with a trembling voice: "Brother, I was really wrong, don't..."

Seeing that the man was about to raise the stick, Ye Youqing hurriedly kicked a rock with his toes, and Gululu rolled to the man's feet.

"Who is it!" The man stopped his movements and yelled in this direction.

Ye Youqing walked out with small steps. Seeing the man's expression change, he quickly raised his hands above his head and said with an apologetic smile, "We are new here, just passing by."

"New here?" The man was tall and strong, his eyes were inverted triangles, he looked very fierce, he put down the stick in his hand, "Where are you new here!"

"According to the order of the second king, go and serve the beauty." Ye Youqing smirked, seeing that the man was not too defensive, so he approached slowly.

The second king's importance to Ci Ke should be known to the whole village, so this person didn't think much about it, he just waved his hand and said, "Then hurry up and get out, don't get in the way here."

Seeing Ye Youqing's face clearly, A Chi breathed a sigh of relief but raised his heart. He put his hands together and prayed in a place where the man could not see, as if he was afraid that Ye Youqing would abandon him.

Ye Youqing frowned secretly, and continued to move forward: "I just heard from you that something fell?"

The man raised his chin angrily, and pointed to the tray thrown to the side. There was a snow-white dress on the tray, and there was a smear of dirt on the most conspicuous place.

"What else can you do, kid? I can't even hold a piece of clothing steadily. I'll just use up your hands and treat you like a useless person!" The stick was about to hit him, but Ye Youqing stopped him swiftly.

"Don't, don't, don't, even if you kill him, you still can't explain to the second king, right?" Ye Youqing never apologized to others so much in his life, his face froze.

"Anyway, I will be punished, at least let me vent my anger!" The man spat aside.

"To tell you the truth, my family was in the garment business before I came here, why don't you let me see if there is any remedy?" Ye Youqing said, walking towards the tray slowly.

The man was also worried about being punished, so he didn't stop him, he just stared at Ye Youqing suspiciously, and said after a while: "Let's see."

Ye Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to pick up the shirt, it was indeed a fine silk, felt like water in her hand, she unfolded the dress, only to see that the dirty piece was oil stains, just at the hem of the skirt.

She thought for a while, raised her face and smiled, "Can you use scissors?"

The man smashed his mouth, threw the stick aside, went back to the room, took a pair of scissors, and threw it to Ye Youqing.

I saw Ye Youqing lowered his head, and cut off the dirty cloth with two or three strokes, and cut it into the shape of a four-petal leaf, revealing the goose yellow lining inside.

Thinking it was too monotonous, she cut two more pieces and put them aside.

After finishing the matter, she got up and clapped her hands, handed the dress to the man, and said: "Okay, so just show it to the girl, she will be satisfied, as long as the girl is satisfied, how can the second king blame him?"

The man looked at it for a while with his mouth tilted, and the fox asked: "Really? What's your name? If I still get punished, I'll come back and break both of your arms."

"My name is Xiao Jiu, don't worry." Ye Youqing still smiled.

The man folded the dress dubiously, didn't say anything more, and hurried away with the tray. Seeing his figure go away, there was a sound from the side. A Chi's face was already covered with sweat, and he sat down with his back leaning against the wall. .

Ye Youqing also put away his smile, rubbed his stiff face, strode to him, and squatted down with Shili.

"Can it work?" Shili asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, she knows." Ye Youqing whispered, then patted A Chi's shoulder, "Are you okay?"

A Chi shook his head, wiped off the sweat from his face, closed his long and narrow eyes slightly, gasped and shook his head a few times.

Afterwards, his expression of the rest of his life disappeared, instead he was a little excited, opened his eyes and pulled Ye Youqing's arm and said, "Thank you!"

"As long as it's okay." Ye Youqing shook his head and got up, stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Go back to the house and rest."

A Chi limped along her and walked towards the door. Before entering the room, he grabbed Ye Youqing's hands violently, his eyes shining.

This expression suddenly became more familiar, Ye Youqing paused slightly when he thought of this.

"If you didn't come here, I might lose my hands. I can't repay such a great kindness. Why don't I recognize you as a big brother in the future?" A Chi said excitedly.
