I don't know how long it took, maybe because the ice in the carriage melted, Ruan Xianbei slowly felt hot and stuffy. She kept tapping the box from the inside, hoping to make some noise.
If someone is locked in a box in such a hot weather, they will really die!
The people in front heard the sound of fruit rolling down behind.
Lin Shi, who had been paying attention to the movement behind him, heard it immediately.
The young man said: "Junior brother Lin, go to the back and look at the fruits to make sure they are not broken."
Lin Shi: "Ah, okay."
The opportunity came so suddenly. Lin Shi sat behind and held the box. When he heard the movement inside, he quietly fed it.
The box moved twice more.
"Brother, some fruits may have fallen out because of the uneven road!" Lin Shi shouted to the front, "Let me clean up at the back first!"
"Okay, please pay attention."
The disciples of Lingxiao Villa were full of filial piety and thought that the most important thing on their carriage was the fruit they brought back.
"That...is that you?" Lin Shi didn't know why he suddenly asked.
Ruan Xianbei knocked on the box to express his affirmation.
"Can you hear me?"
able.
It was too tiring to type Morse code like this. Ruan Xianbei said from inside: "Can you hear me?"
Lin Shi was silent for a while and put his ear to the box: "Can you say it again?"
Ruan Xianbei:......
There was no way, except for Lin Shi, everyone else looked even more unsafe. Ruan Xianbei could only repeat it again. Although the voice was very low, Lin Shi finally heard it.
"I'm hot and I want to go out."
Lin Shi took a look at the box.
The box has two layers. On the surface, it looks like it is full of fruits, but it is known that the lower layer is a hidden compartment. If you want to open it, you must first take down all the fruits on the upper layer. But now it is piled full of fruits, not to mention Does he dare to let Ruan Xianbei out? Even if he dares, the space in the carriage is not enough for such a torment.
It is impossible for Ruan Xianbei to come out now.
"It seems impossible..."
Ruan Xianbei really didn't expect him to really let her out. She then asked him: "Where are we going now?"
"Go back to the villa."
"Have you left the Western Region yet?"
"Get out soon."
Ruan Xianbei was silent, so how could she deliver the message?
"Why are you here?" Lin Shi asked in a low voice.
"Do you know who I am?" Ruan Xianbei asked. She knew that the officers and soldiers outside had taken the portrait, but her usual dress was very different from that of a saint. Could this stunned Qing recognize her?
"Is it... a saint?" Lin Shi said tentatively. He didn't know why he was so damn curious that after the scar healed, he forgot about the fact that he was tricked by Ruan Xianbei a while ago.
Ruan Xianbei said: "You are truly the smartest and kindest disciple I have ever seen in Lingxiao Villa."
I was praised! Lin Shi scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, "No...the senior brothers all say that I am lucky and unlucky."
"Mu Huaxiao wants to use my blood to resurrect my mother. I don't want to die. Can you help me?"
At this time, the carriage seemed to have run over something like a stone. The carriage shook, and Lin Shi also shuddered.
"Junior brother, hold on to the box!"
"Oh! Senior brother, everything is fine!"
Lin Shi looked at the box with a tangled expression and struggled in his heart. He was just an ordinary young disciple. What could he do to help?
This is the devil's saint.
When Ruan Xianbei once again told him that it was the superior villager in his mind who wanted to harm her, Lin Shi was a little shaken.
"I won't ask you to do anything that would betray our sect or endanger our sect." Ruan Xianbei added at the right time, "I just don't want to die."
Lin Shi whispered: "What do you want me to do?"
At this time, another voice came from the front, and the young man said: "Junior brother, we are almost there!"
Ruan Xianbei spoke quickly and explained: "When you get to the next resting place, mark it for me. I have always been locked up near you, but I don't know where I am. I kicked the stone that hit you yesterday. "
"You just need to leave a mark to tell my people where I am."
"I am under very strict supervision by Xu Pei. There may not be much chance to meet me. You should also be careful."
"Junior Brother Lin, my life is in your hands.".ν.
Lin Shi has been studying martial arts for ten years, and has never killed a chicken in all these years. Now he is carrying a human life on his back for no reason, which is a bit overwhelming!
"Look for an opportunity to burn that piece of broken step." Ruan Xianbei hurriedly gave instructions, fearing that the silly boy would accidentally break himself into it.
In today's world, everyone she meets is a human being, and there are holes dug by others everywhere. Where can she find someone with such a simple mind to believe in her?
Lin Shi and his brothers got off the car and settled in an inn. Ruan Xianbei listened to the bustle of people around him and guessed based on the distance that this might be the last town out of the Western Regions, Luoxia Town.
Luoxia Town is also the only way to the Western Region. After leaving this town, it is the way back to the Central Plains. Passengers will rest here. When they went to Fengsha City, they also rested here for one night before setting off on the road.
As long as Lin Shi can safely leave a mark, Shen Xuan and the others should be able to find it if they are more careful.
Of course, the carriage was taken to where it was supposed to go. Xu Pei came first and had already arranged accommodation. Everyone else was preparing to go upstairs to their rooms to have a rest. Lin Shi was still looking at the direction in which the carriage was going.
"Junior Brother Lin, what are you looking at?" The young man next to him patted Lin Shi on the shoulder.
Lin Shi came to his senses and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, I'm a little greedy even though I just stayed with the fruit."
Senior Brother Zhao laughed: "You brat, you didn't eat it secretly, did you?"
"No, no! How dare I!" Lin Shi waved his hands quickly, and when he was about to enter the room, he remembered something and turned around and ran away.
Lin Shi turned back after a while and told Senior Brother Zhao with a smile that he had asked the shopkeeper to put more ice in their fruit cart to prevent all the good stuff from spoiling when they returned.
"You kid." Senior Brother Zhao laughed and scolded him when he saw his stupid look, and then went to rest.
In another room, Xu Pei shook his fan and looked out the window and asked, "How is it?"
Someone behind him replied: "I guess he didn't notice it. He just ran to tell the shopkeeper that he wanted to add some ice to the carriage and didn't say anything else."
"I know, let's bring her out later."
"yes."
...
Lin Shi was lying on the bed and looked like he was sleeping. He put a hand on his heart and felt his heart pounding. Thinking of the scene just now, he felt as if his heart was going to pop out of his mouth. Same.
He turned around and went down just now, originally wanting to take this opportunity to leave a mark according to Ruan Xianbei's instructions, but when he went downstairs, he felt a sharp gaze falling on him.
Although his cultivation level is not high and he is usually very slow, he doesn't know what happened today. Perhaps the sight was too strong and made him feel a sense of crisis. His sixth sense told him that he couldn't do this. .
He couldn't help but think of what Ruan Xianbei said to him before. That time she kidnapped him and said to him half-jokingly and half-threateningly: "Don't you think there are no people from the village owner watching you?"
Why monitor them? Why are you so wary of the devil's saint? The demon sect has been doing evil things for many years, shouldn't they escort her back in an open and fair manner to expose the world?
Is it because what Ruan Xianbei said...is shady?
Lin Shi's hair stood on end, but he didn't dare to look back. His eyes were locked on him. It would be too suspicious for him to go back now.
He can only go as far as
I told the shopkeeper at the counter that the fruit in their car was originally packed with ice, but the ice melted on the way here. I hope the shopkeeper can send some ice to prevent the fruit from spoiling before being transported to the Central Plains.
The shopkeeper was also very enthusiastic and agreed without hesitation. After all, the Western Regions are rich in fruits. Some of them are all over the streets here, but people in the Central Plains may not be able to eat them once in their lives!
After Lin Shi finished speaking, he returned to the room. It wasn't until he entered the room that he felt the line of sight disappear.
so close!
This was his first reaction, and then he was afraid. Why would he agree to Ruan Xianbei to do such a thing for her in a hot head?
Why should the disciples of his dignified Lingxiao Villa be on guard against their fellow disciples!
The life and death of the devil's saint has nothing to do with him!
What should I do if I feel a little regretful...
...
At nightfall.
Ruan Xianbei first felt the temperature drop in the carriage, and then he felt sleepy and hungry, half asleep and half awake.
Until a rustling sound above her head woke her up, and then the box was opened.
She squinted her eyes, but fortunately it was very dark outside. She huddled in the box, her hands and feet were numb and she couldn't use any strength at all, and her eyes couldn't stand the bright light.
Someone reached out and took her out. When she adjusted to the light, she took a closer look.
It’s actually Xu Pei——
No princess in Shen Xuan has ever hugged her! ! !
Ruan Xianbei stared at Xu Pei in a daze, and Xu Pei smiled and said, "Isn't it because he fell in love with me?"
Ruan Xianbei's body stiffened instantly, and Xu Pei's joke did not sound funny to her ears.
"I like Shen Xuan." Ruan Xianbei said coldly.
"It doesn't matter. What if you change your mind again? After all, you said you liked me before."
"You almost suffocated me in the box." What's the use of Xu Pei trying to block her with the matter of losing her memory? She won't admit to things she doesn't remember.
"Beibeifu is lucky, everything will be fine. Besides, I left a vent."
"Really, thank you very much Mr. Xu."
Xu Pei didn't get angry no matter how much she choked him. He seemed to be really patient with her, which was completely different from his attitude towards Mu Ruojiao. To Mu Ruojiao, he could only make the child happy.
That's why he was so cruel to her...pervert.
Someone had packed the fruits in the carriage, and when they returned home, food was already placed on the table. Ruan Xianbei hadn't eaten for a day, and his eyes were green with hunger.
My hands were still numb and I couldn't move.
She sat on the chair with a dull face, and Xu Pei sat next to her with a smile and a bowl: "Here, I'll feed you."
"roll."
Seeing the disgusted look on her face, Xu Pei smiled and threatened: "If you don't eat it, I'll take it away later. Be good, Beibei, don't make things difficult for yourself."
Ruan Xianbei sneered: Fragrance comes out of your mouth! Fragrance comes out of your mouth!
Ruan Xianbei frowned and didn't take a bite. Xu Pei finished his meal and actually asked someone to take the food away.
"I feel sorry for you to share a room with me today." When Xu Pei said this, his expression was very happy, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Oh." Ruan Xianbei didn't say much and rolled over on the bed. She lay on the bed and stretched her limbs, thinking that Xu Pei was ruthless and could only rely on Lin Shi to help her deliver the news.
The two of them had nothing to say, so Xu Pei spread a quilt and slept on the ground.
The result of not eating for a day was that Ruan Xianbei woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pain. The stomach pain came very suddenly but not unexpectedly.
She just felt like her stomach was on fire now. Every once in a while, there would be villains pricking herself with needles in it. The acid in her stomach was like magma solution. Without anything to digest, it would start to stimulate herself. If there was really a small People must no longer shout that they are starving to death.
She clutched her stomach and made a gasping sound on the bed. Xu Pei seemed to have not fallen asleep at all. The next moment he heard the noise, he sat beside her bed and said, "I think you have a stomachache. Why don't you eat?"
"It's best to hurt me to death
, I won’t have to be taken back by you to do those things——”
"It makes me sad that you always misunderstand me."
"What did I misunderstand about you? Did I misunderstand that you experimented on human bodies? Did I misunderstand that you helped Mu Huaxiao do things that were harmful to nature and contrary to the laws of nature? Or did I misunderstand that you wanted to use my blood to resurrect my mother?"
Ruan Xianbei gritted his teeth and said this, feeling so uncomfortable that he could only curl up to relieve the pain.
As if he didn't hear what she said, Xu Pei touched her forehead and said to himself, "It's better to eat something first."
Ruan Xianbei closed his eyes, feeling as if he had been punched on cotton, feeling very weak and irritable.
