Jingcheng, inn.
Instructing Ning Yuanzhou to send someone to find Ruyi, Jingting opened the door to Yang Ying's room.
In the room, Yuan Lu was racking his brains and making all kinds of funny faces, trying to make Yang Ying happy. Yang Ying sat on the ground and leaned against the pillar without saying a word.
"Brother Jingting."
Seeing Jing Ting come in, Yuan Lu stood up, looked at Jing Ting and then at his facial expression. Yang Ying lowered her head and her eyes were dull, her eyes full of worry.
Jingting waved his hand, signaling Yuanlu to leave first.
The young man walked out of the room quickly and closed the door. Jingting also sat on the ground with Yang Ying.
Without saying a word, Jingting leaned Yang Ying's head on her shoulder, patting her back gently as if coaxing a baby to sleep.
"Woo..."
Slowly, the little girl sobbed first, then the sound got louder and louder, until she burst into tears.
The little girl was frightened yesterday and was betrayed again. She stayed up all night and was weak from not eating. She was tired from crying. Yang Ying lay on Jingting's lap and fell asleep slowly.
——————
When Yang Ying opened her eyes, the sky outside the window was already dark. She was still sleeping on Jing Ting's lap, but she had an extra blanket on her body.
"Master~"
The little girl squirmed, raised her head, and saw Jingting's smile.
"Don't move. You are anxious and weak. I will give you a few injections. You should lie down first."
The Taoist priest first picked up a blanket and padded Yang Ying's head, stood up and stretched her legs, then picked up the little girl sideways and put her on the bed.
"I've asked Lao Qian to boil the medicine and it's warming on the stove. It's dinner time now. I'll have someone bring food in later. Eat something first and then drink the medicine."
Touching Yang Ying's head, Jingting said in a soft voice: "You must be scared. It's the master's fault this time that he didn't protect you well."
"No~no, master."
The little girl hurriedly waved her hands and wanted to sit up. Jingting brought a soft cushion, but Yang Ying pushed it away. The little girl used her only movable arm to pull Jingting's arm and shake it.
Jingting moved her shoulder over, and Yang Ying leaned closer obediently.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the Earth Temple. I'm just...a little scared. I'm about to arrive in Andu. I feel a little panicked. Brother Thirteen said that there is a Earth Temple where you can worship. I I just want to seek peace of mind.”
The little girl said and shed tears again: "Uu~ If I didn't go to the Earth Temple, I wouldn't have met Zheng Qingyun, I wouldn't have brought him back, exposed the mission's position, and so many people would have died... Uuuuuuuuuuuuu …X﹏X”
"You don't know if Zheng Qingyun is this kind of person."
Picking up the handkerchief, Jingting carefully rubbed Yang Ying's face, taking away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes: "Don't blame yourself, there is nothing wrong with being kind, it's just that the world is not very friendly to kind people."
"Master, why did he lie to me? I obviously...went to Anguo as an envoy for him, but he actually...he actually...wuwu..."
"Because people can be moved easily, and it only takes a moment for a person's evil thoughts to suppress his good thoughts. When the evil thoughts come together, the person will turn into a vicious ghost that he doesn't even know, and he will be dragged down to hell with him."
Jingting said in a calm voice: "Judging from the pulse, you are just weak. I heard Ning Yuanzhou say that Zheng Qingyun hijacked you and tried to rush out. You didn't suffer any external injuries."
"There are no external injuries...it's just Master. Last night Zheng Qingyun wanted to be scornful of me. He sneaked into my room, hugged me...touched me...wanted to take off my clothes...I didn't dare...I didn't dare to follow Yuan Zhou Brother, they said..." Yang Ying was filled with tears, her head resting on Jingting's shoulders in aggrieved manner.
"What!"
"Master, master, I'm fine. I pushed him away. I couldn't push him away at first, but when he was about to rip my clothes off, I suddenly felt a heat surge up from my stomach. It was so strong. It pushed him over all of a sudden, and he didn’t dare to come up.”
Yang Ying's eyes were red, she made a pushing gesture with one arm, and smiled through her tears: "Master, am I so awesome? I'm so awesome."
"It's so powerful." Jingting smiled softly: "We, Yang Ying, have learned martial arts, and we can protect our master in the future."
"Don't worry, master. If you are bullied by someone in the future, I will teach him a lesson for you."
The little girl waved her fist in the air, wrinkled her nose and looked fierce, but there were still tears in her eyes. As soon as the girl wrinkled her nose, tears started to flow down, and there were more tears on her face. Not at all pitiful.
Jingting picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the girl's tears.
"Stop crying. Crying too much will make you grow old. When you get older, you won't look good. The master's lineage does not accept ugly apprentices." Seeing Yang Ying burst into laughter, Jingting also had a smile on her face. .
"Ah~ Then I won't cry anymore." Yang Ying twitched her nose, hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief, wiped it again and again, and pouted Lao Gao: "Master~ I shed tears so easily, don't I look good now? Already~"
"How is it possible? Our Yang Ying is the little princess of the Wu Kingdom and the most beautiful pearl in the whole country."
"hey-hey."
Yang Ying looked at Jingting and giggled: "Then if one day the apprentice is no longer beautiful, the master should not drive the apprentice away, okay~"
"Actually, I lied to you about not accepting ugly disciples."
"Well……"
Yang Ying opened her small mouth and bit Jingting's shoulder.
Duo~duo~
Click.
There was a soft knock on the door. Ren Ruyi opened the door and walked into the room carrying a food box. When she saw Yang Ying leaning on Jingting's shoulder, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
clang!
The food box was placed on the table.
"You two haven't eaten yet. Everyone has finished eating. This is yours. Eat together."
After glancing at Jingting, Ren Ruyi took out the food in the food box one by one.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with several easy-to-digest vegetables, tempting ribs, and simmered soft chicken soup. The porridge bowl was opened, and the rich aroma of rice wafted in the air.
Gudong~
Yang Ying, who hadn't eaten for a long time, swallowed.
"Come on, eat more. These were specially made by Qian Zhao. He said that it was because of his poor protection that Zheng Qingyun had the opportunity to come into contact with you."
Putting a bowl of chicken soup on the table, Ren Ruyi pulled Yang Ying off Jingting's shoulders and helped her sit down at the dining table.
"Master~"
Yang Ying glanced at the soup on the table, then at her arm with the silver needle stuck in it, and looked at Jingting eagerly.
Jingting picked up the bowl, scooped out a spoonful and put it in her mouth to blow off the heat. Just as she was about to pass it to Yang Ying's mouth, Ren Ruyi snatched the spoon and bowl away.
"You eat yours, and I'll feed you!"
There was a hint of stiffness in Ren Ruyi's voice.
Click~
Jingting was eating without daring to raise his head. He seemed to hear... the sound of broken porcelain.
