A few days later. Zhou Mansion. In a quiet guest room, the young man who had been sleeping for several days gradually woke up. After he got up, he slowly walked to the window. The sky outside was gray, as if it was covered with a thin curtain.
The young man didn't understand what was happening to him, why his mind was so chaotic that he couldn't remember anything, and who was he?
What is this place? While he was thinking hard, suddenly, a concerned inquiry came from behind.
"Sir, are you okay?" The young man turned around and found that the person standing behind him was one of the two women he had seen by the creek a few days ago.
So, he calmed down and asked the woman.
"Where is this place?" the girl replied very respectfully.
"This may be Mr. Zhou's residence in Beishan Mine." The young man was slightly startled when he heard this, and then raised his hand to gently press his forehead, because as soon as he started to recall, Soul Sea would immediately feel uncomfortable.
"Who is Lord Zhou?" The girl saw that he seemed to be feeling uncomfortable again, so she quickly stepped forward and helped the boy sit on a stool nearby and said.
"Young master, you seem to have not recovered yet. Yesterday, the two alchemy masters told us to take good care of you before they left. They also said that after you wake up, master, if you still can't remember the past, then you will be fine. Don't force yourself to recall it, otherwise it might hurt your soul." Hearing what the girl said, the young man nodded, because she was right, there was indeed something wrong with his soul sea at the moment. As for why he didn't I know, I guess I need some more time to recuperate.
Then, he changed his words and asked.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Mu Ningshuang." The girl replied with a slight smile. Maybe she felt that the best way to prevent the boy from thinking wildly was to talk to him about other things, so as to divert the boy's attention.
Therefore, Mu Ningshuang hesitated for a moment and then continued.
"When we first arrived here, we were going to be driven to work in the mines, but fortunately, Master, you were not awake yet..." At this point, Mu Ningshuang suddenly felt that she had made a mistake, so , she quickly waved her hand and explained.
"I don't mean that it's not good for you to wake up, I just want to say...I..."
"I understand." The young man interrupted her hesitation because he found that Mu Ningshuang was a little worried. Immediately, Mu Ningshuang looked at him in surprise and asked.
"Do you really understand?" The young man nodded slightly and replied.
"Well, although I can't remember what happened before I woke up, I remember clearly what happened after I woke up. So, of course I know it was Jackal who asked you and your sister to take care of me, but what I don't know is you Why are you so afraid of me?" Obviously, the young man had already seen from Mu Ningshuang's every move that she was very afraid of herself. She had to be cautious even when talking about ordinary things, for fear of saying something wrong. Disaster is coming.
Mu Ningshuang saw only sincerity in the young man's clear eyes, so she relaxed her nervousness and sighed slightly.
"I'm afraid that you, Master, are the same as Jackal and the others."
"Oh? What kind of people are Jackal and the others?" An expression of resentment suddenly appeared on Mu Ningshuang's face, and she said coldly.
"They are a group of demons, murderous demons, and they are also a bunch of beasts. They burned, killed, raped, and looted in our Haitian Continent. They committed all kinds of evil. Those tribesmen who were captured by them with me are now uncertain whether they are alive or dead. Even if they are not dead, From now on, I can only work to death in this dark mine." After listening to Mu Ningshuang's story, the young man's expression did not change much, he just asked curiously.
"Where is Haitian Continent? Why did Jackal do this?" Mu Ningshuang replied after hearing this.
"Haitian Continent is my hometown, and it is also one of the nine continents in the lower realm of Sky City. I have lived there since I was a child. However, we are just a collateral clan of the Mu family, but I don't know why, Jackal will lead people to kill us. Everyone in the family has been arrested here." At this point, Mu Ningshuang suddenly raised her head and looked at the young man's sincere eyes, and said with a grateful face.
"If the young master hadn't still grabbed my wrist while he was unconscious and refused to let go, my sister and I might have been sent to the mine. If that were the case, we might not have survived. So, it was the young master who saved me. Our lives, if the young master does not despise our lowliness, my sister and I are willing to work as cattle and horses for you, the young master, and we will never regret it." After hearing Mu Ningshuang's confession, the young man did not immediately agree, but raised his head slightly and looked away. Wall looked out the door.
At this moment, a pleasant laughter came from outside the door.
"No wonder my brother wanted to warn me specifically. It seems that you do have some abilities. I'm curious, when did you find me outside the door?" As soon as he finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open, and someone came. It was Zhou Ying.
The young man looked at the pretty woman who walked into the room and smiled.
"From the time I stood in front of the window." The boy's answer should have surprised Zhou Ying, because she had just arrived outside the guest room door at that time. In other words, the boy knew from the beginning that she was standing there. Eavesdropping outside the door.
However, this originally logical inference did not happen, and was replaced by Zhou Ying's scream.
"Ah!" Judging from Zhou Ying's calmness and composure when she arrived at the door of the guest room, the young man guessed that this woman should be a maid similar to Mu Ningshuang, the only difference was that her cultivation level was higher.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Ying suddenly
"Out of control", this is obviously not the expression a maid should have. But when she saw Zhou Ying taking three steps at a time, she was in front of the boy in an instant. Her eyes were intoxicated and her expression was obsessed. She even couldn't help but rub her hands together on her chest, as if she was seeing the treasure that she had coveted for a long time.
After being stared at by Zhou Ying for a while, the young man finally couldn't help but ask.
"and who are you?"
"My name is Zhou Ying, and I am the leader of the entire Beishan mine. You can also call me Ying'er."
"Yinger?"
"That's right, since you are Brother Jackal's brother, you are naturally my...eldest brother, hehe, so just call me Ying'er." Seeing Zhou Ying's extremely enthusiastic look , the young man could not shirk, so he nodded in agreement, and then he asked again.
"So you are the master of this Zhou Mansion? And the Master Zhou that Miss Mu is talking about is you, right?" Zhou Ying immediately shook her head and explained.
"I'm just helping my brother take care of the Beishan Mine. The Lord Zhou she's talking about is my eldest brother Zhou Cang, and my eldest brother is the master of the Zhou Mansion."
"Oh, that's it." The young man found that Zhou Ying was not only enthusiastic, but also talkative. However, it was obvious that she knew the situation here much better than Mu Ningshuang, so of course it would be better for Zhou Ying to answer his doubts. .
However, while he was deep in thought, Zhou Ying couldn't help but ask.
"Now it's your turn to answer my question." The young man nodded after hearing this.
"Whatever questions you want to ask, I will tell you as soon as I can remember them."
"Okay, first question, who are you?"
"I can't remember, but when I woke up, Jackal said I was his brother, so I should be considered Brother Hu's brother now."
"Uh, okay, second question, what's your name?" Hearing Zhou Ying's question, the young man was slightly startled because he had no memory of anything about him. Finally, he slowly turned his head. Looking at the gray sky outside the window, I said one word after thinking for a long time.
"cigarette!"
"Smoke?" Zhou Ying didn't know what the word meant, but since he said it himself, he should just take it as his name.
Then, Zhou Ying asked again.
"Last question, what do you think of me?" The young man didn't understand what Zhou Ying meant, so he looked at Zhou Ying with a puzzled expression.
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying immediately took two steps back, but saw her suddenly straightening her chest and raising her head, twisting her slender and soft waist, showing off her arrogance and smiling.
"Of course I mean myself!" The young man looked Zhou Ying up and down carefully, and then replied seriously.
"You are beautiful!" Zhou Ying immediately became happy when she heard this, and she asked excitedly.
"You're not lying to me," the young man said sincerely.
"No, you are really beautiful. If you don't believe it, you can ask Miss Mu." Until then, Zhou Ying seemed to realize that there was Mu Ningshuang in the room. Then, she suddenly said to Mu Ningshuang coldly.
"From today on, you and your sister also go to work in the mines. Don't let me see you again!" After hearing Zhou Ying's words, Mu Ningshuang's face instantly turned pale.
With a "pop", she knelt down in front of the two of them. She didn't understand why Zhou Ying, who was fine just now, suddenly wanted to kill her and her sister.
However, in Beishan Mine, Zhou Ying is the king here, and no one dares to disobey her orders unless they want to die immediately.
But Mu Ningshuang also knew that once she and her sister entered the mine, they would never come out, so she placed all her hopes on the young man because she could feel that the young man had some pity for her. heart of.
But just when the young man was about to speak, Zhou Ying suddenly changed her mind and smiled.
"I was just joking with you to scare you. How could I be so cruel? Besides, I would also like to thank you for helping me take care of Yan... where is Brother Yan. Let's do this, you will stay and serve Brother Yan, and you don't have to work in the mines. But if you don't take good care of Brother Yan, then I will be angry." After hearing Zhou Ying's words, Mu Ning Shuang felt relieved and quickly kowtowed in thanks.
"Thank you Miss Zhou for your kindness." Zhou Ying waved her hand and said.
"Okay, okay, let's forget about being a cow or a horse from now on. You just need to know how to abide by your duties and do your part well. Come on down!"
"Yes, Miss Zhou." Immediately, Mu Ningshuang hurriedly exited the guest room. It wasn't until she was sure that she was finally safe that she realized that she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and sighed secretly in her heart.
m
"Zhou Ying is so awesome!" However, Zhou Ying in the guest room said with a smile on her face.
"What did you want to say just now?" The young man saw this and replied with a slight smile.
"It's nothing, I just think you are really beautiful."
"Giggle..."
