You are back

Chapter 149 Fear
Yusu came in and made tea again.

Pei Qing poured a cup and handed it to Li Yan, who took it and sipped it leisurely.

"Where are they?" Pei Qing also poured a glass and asked confusedly.

Li Yan was stunned, then came to his senses, "A little bit."

"Which point?" Pei Qing pressed on.

"There is a girl who is very beautiful. She keeps smiling. She has two small dimples. She is very sweet. She can swing very high on the swing."

Pei Qing was stunned, "Yu Su!"

Yusu responded, her face pale.

"Have you heard?" Pei Qing stared at Yusu's green and white face, Yusu nodded, "Tell me." Pei Qing stared at him closely and ordered.

"It's... little... cousin..." Yusu's lips trembled.

He was chosen to be with Master Seventeen. It was him, their family, and the glory of their entire clan who also brought a glorious future to the family.Glory and future come with a price: all those who are chosen to serve the mountain master must serve the master for life and are not allowed to get married or start a family.

"Small ones... small ones..." Yusu was trembling all over, and looked at Li Yan with horror.

Li Yan looked at him and smiled slightly, he and his cousin, a pair of children...

"No...no..." Yusu looked at Pei Qing, the fear in his heart spread throughout his body. They, the young men who had been serving him for many years, knew best how ruthless he was.

"What happened before entering the mansion?" Pei Qing had no expression on his face.

Yusu nodded hastily, "Yes, after being selected, the little one... the little one..." Yusu glanced at Li Yan quickly, and didn't dare to say anything later.

He sneaked a few times at her, two times he said a few words, and the other times he watched her from a distance for a long time before leaving.

"It's human nature, just know to obey the rules. Step back." Pei Qing skipped Yusu's glance at Li Yan, with a calm and peaceful tone.

Yusu seemed to be pardoned, kowtowed again and again, and walked to the door on her knees before she dared to stand up and go out.

Pei Qing looked at Li Yan who turned his head and looked out of the window, with an imperceptible pallor on his face, he understood the meaning of the few words left by his ancestor.

Is there anything in the world that such a person can hide from her?There is a secret that can be hidden from her... Maybe there is a thought...

She said she couldn't see herself, did she really not see herself, or... she didn't say...

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qing felt his back was icy cold. For a moment, he had the urge to kill her immediately with a knife.

Li Yan tapped the cup lightly with his slender and white fingers, and looked out the window leisurely and lazily. The spring on the bank was already very rich, and the waves of the river passed by, the cold water...

She was the meat on his cutting board, without even a layer of skin, she tried her best, and after that, let him.

………………

For several days, Pei Qing was in the front cabin, and Li Yan was in the back cabin, just like those days before arriving in Yangzhou, separated by two narrow decks, they heard each other and did not communicate with each other.

However, before arriving in Yangzhou, it was Li Yan who did not go out, and after leaving Yangzhou, it was Pei Qing who did not go out.

………………

After leaving Yangzhou and the itinerary, it is extremely fast.The boat never docked again, and every day there were boats coming up, bringing all kinds of things, and the cavalry guards accompanying the shore came one after another.

Li Yan was wrapped in a thick sable cloak, holding a hand stove, watching the ship delivering supplies approaching, watching the ship delivering letters and people and various things approaching, watching the guards with superb riding skills on the shore...

Yushu sat next to her, looking outside and then at her, reaching out his hand from time to time to see if the stove was still hot.

She couldn't explain why, but she could feel the changes in the eldest lady. The eldest lady became more and more familiar to her, and seemed to be more and more unfamiliar. These changes, in her intuition, were not joy, but fear, and sadness. , Why she was afraid and sad, she felt as if she knew, but she couldn't remember.

………………

Ten days later, the boat berthed at the pier closest to Duoyunjian.

On the shore, Sun Rong stood with his hands hanging next to a large nanmu cart covered with copper and gold. The entire dock had been cleared of idlers, and the guards of Cloudy Villa were deployed one by one.

In the distance, piles of idlers stood on their toes, stretched their necks, and watched the movement of the pier from a distance. These were the carriages, horses and guards of Duyun Villa. From the oldest to the youngest, they had all seen Duyun Villa. The stewards, guards, handymen and so on, at most there are no more than a dozen people. Like today, this is the first time that hundreds of people have formed a large formation.

The crowd watched from afar, not daring to approach. This situation made them inexplicably uneasy and ominous. In their impression, Duoyun Villa should be like a sacred temple full of statues. Now, the statues have come out... …

It was late March or early April. Li Yan finally took off his heavy sable cloak and put on a lighter chinchilla cloak. Wrapped in the cloak, he followed Pei Qing and walked along the flat paved road. The springboard, got off the boat, and got on the car almost directly.

Pei Qing also got into the car after Li Yan, and Yushu and Jindou followed, kneeling and sitting next to each other.

Pei Qing raised the curtain and looked gloomyly at the crowd watching the excitement in the distance, but Li Yan just looked up and down the luxurious car curiously.

Pei Qing watched the car leave the dock and put down the curtains. Li Yan was still curious about the car, and he opened the small drawers on the compartment side by side to check what was in the drawers.Pei Qing leaned back, Jin Dou hurriedly stuffed a cushion behind him, Pei Qing bent one leg, looked at Li Yan who was curious about everything, expressionless.

Li Yan finished reading all the drawers on her side, took out the book, put it down after flipping through two pages, moved to the car window, lifted the curtain and looked out.

"It's windy outside, and the mountain wind is cold and hard, let Yushu put on the cloak for you." Pei Qing looked at Li Yan for a while, his voice was soft, showing a little discomfort.

Since the day he left Yangzhou, this was the first time he met her face to face and spoke to her.

"It's very cold." Li Yan put down the curtain and moved in, "Can I go to Duoyun Villa today?"

"Yeah." Pei Qing responded, paused, felt a little cold, and added, "When we arrived at the villa, there was no place to rest on the way. There used to be an inn in Shanxia Town, but it was too late to prepare for it." Hurry back to the mountain and use it to rest your feet. It has not been used for decades, and it has long been abandoned."

Li Yan was startled when he heard this, as if he thought of something, he looked at Yushu.

that inn...

Pei Qing followed Li Yan's gaze and looked at Yushu who didn't realize it, "You have been to Shanxia Town, you have to stop..."

"No need." Before Pei Qing could finish speaking, Li Yan answered quickly, he should go to the villa first, the villa is the most important place, in the town under the mountain, those people have lived and multiplied for so many years, too many stuff out, looks too tired.
