Chapter 42 Lamma
Ye Xinyi's lips curled into a smile, with a sense of relief.

It's just that when she took a step forward, there was a sudden pause.

wrong!

Her expression changed in an instant, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the gate of the dealer's courtyard.

He raised his hand and touched the courtyard door, his fingertips were immediately stained with ashes.

Since the beginning of winter, the snow has been intermittent and almost never stopped, so there are no traces on the ground.

However, the erected door was still covered by eaves tiles, but it was covered with dust, which only showed that the yard had not been lived in for a long time.

Lin Lang, where did you go?
A barely perceptible sound came to his ears, Ye Xinyi's almond eyes flashed, without hesitation, he turned around suddenly and walked away from the dealer's door.

However, it was too late.

The way ahead was already blocked by someone, Ye Xinyi's lowered eyes, the first thing he touched was the green and gold make-up Luo Yisa, and at that moment, his heart trembled.

Fortunately, she was courageous, so she turned her gaze upwards, and sure enough, she saw the belt with gold-woven threads and white jade inlaid around her thin waist, and then, the token hanging from her waist.

That style is too familiar, after all, there is also a piece hidden under her pillow, and she has to rub it every night.

Forged from raw copper, a ferocious unicorn is carved on the top, and the three characters "Jin Yi Wei" are clearly visible on the bottom. A hand, slender and well-defined.

Ye Xinyi's eyes drooped slightly, his mind was blank for a moment, but his heart was beating like a drum.

"You...raise your head!" A voice sounded from the top of his head, a hoarse voice, but it seemed impermanent, and Ye Xinyi trembled for a moment. If he hadn't exhausted all his strength, he might Immediately it is time to strike a pendulum.

"What? Didn't you hear it?" The voice sank slightly, with inexplicable power, and following the voice, the man took a step forward.

Ye Xinyi bit her lower lip lightly, and finally raised her head slowly.

Then her eyes moved up inch by inch, first she saw the flying fish embroidered with gold thread on the skirt, which hurt people's eyes, and then she finally saw the owner of the voice.

A young man, by the looks of it, is just a young man with a typical northern face, without the gentleness and humility of a handsome man nowadays like a white-faced scholar.

His outline is thick and sharp, his eyebrows are carved like a knife's edge, straight into his temples, his eyes are dark, and his expression of concentrating on people makes those eyes become as sharp as sharp knives, revealing a sense of coldness and cynicism .

Ye Xinyi only dared to take a look, and then hurriedly lowered his head in shock, not only because he confirmed that this person was Jin Yiwei, but the last sliver of luck was also lost, but also because as he took a step closer, Ye Xinyi keenly smelled it. A familiar smell.

The smell of joss sticks...

This smell, Ye Xinyi remembered, that day, the man who chased her in General Mingwei's mansion also had the same smell.

After all, if you smell this kind of smell on a monk, you don't feel it is novel, but it is carried by a man, it has to be impressive, not to mention, this man is still a Jinyiwei.

"Who are you?" The man asked again, with a slow tone, no emotion could be heard.

Just now, although she only raised her head, he must have seen her appearance clearly, so don't panic!Ye Xinyi thought quietly in her heart, she was just an ordinary girl in the market, and that night, she also covered her face...

When Jin Yiwei asked a question, naturally no one dared not answer.

Ye Xinyi raised his head slowly, glanced at the man timidly, then looked frightened, quickly averted his eyes, and replied in a soft voice, "If you want to go back to the official, I am Nanma from Erereye Hutong in the south."

"What are you doing here?" The man asked again, his eyes seemed to be inadvertent, and his eyes fell on the cotton-wrapped thing on the stone pier in front of the dealer's door.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xinyi slowly settled down, "If you go back to the official, today, someone gave me twenty coins and asked me to come to Shuijing Hutong, find a family named Zhuang, and give him money." My daughter, who used to work in a rich family, gave me something. It’s just that... after I came, I didn’t see anyone, so I put down my things and left... Guanye! I didn’t... I really didn’t do anything bad!” While speaking, Ye Xinyi raised his head and said eagerly, his complexion paled and he was in a panic.

Ye Xinyi knew that her face must be completely pale at the moment, but in the eyes of men, it was nothing more than normal. After all, in this world, which ordinary people would not be afraid to see him wearing a flying fish suit?

The man frowned at her, and after a while, he asked, "Who gave you the money?"

The little girl's shoulders were tucked in, her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth were drawn down, she looked extremely distressed, her little hands twisted, and she shook her head, "I... I don't know him, he doesn't seem to be from this area , I have never seen him in Xuannanfang."

"He? Is it a man? Do you remember what he looks like?"

"It's a man. He's neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. He has a round face, no! It's pointed, and it's not right, it seems to be round again. Eyes... just eyes, nothing special..." The little girl obviously I'm trying to recall, but I really can't remember it, it's the expression that I'm about to cry, and my facial features, which weren't very good at first, are two points darker.

The man raised his hand, "That's all. You said you are Lamma from Ear Eye Alley?"

Ye Xinyi's heart paused, his face was slightly numb, and he nodded, "Yeah."

"Let's go! Let's go to Eryaner Hutong!" The man said casually, turned his head, passed Ye Xinyi to the gate of the dealer's house, and picked up the storage box that Ye Xinyi had just put on the stone pier.

In an instant, Ye Xinyi's heart was turned upside down.

Although Jin Yiwei has a bad reputation, Ye Xinyi has heard of it occasionally in the past. Most of them are living on their salaries and working as lackeys, but they really have no brains. Why, the one she met was so difficult ?
The man copied the saving box with one hand, stepped forward, and said lightly, "Let's go!"

Turning around, I saw the little girl lowering her eyes, wiping away her tears, "Master, I didn't do anything wrong. If so, my father would beat me to death."

"Don't worry, as long as you prove that what you said is true, I won't make it difficult for you!" The man stood beside her and looked at her, his meaning could not be more clear.

Ye Xinyi knew that this time, he couldn't escape, so he had to leave.

She moved her steps anyway, but she lowered her head and sobbed.

But I was thinking quickly in my heart, this ear and eye alley, of course I can't go.

There is not much time, so we have to look for opportunities.

However, fortunately, she hasn't aroused any more suspicions from the man yet.

Otherwise, instead of taking her to Eryan'er Alley, he would take her to prison.

Walking silently all the way, the man has been following her at a distance of one step, the faster she is, the faster he is, and the slower she is, the slower he will follow.

Didn't ask again.

Ye Xinyi lowered his head and walked forward in silence, the corner of his eyes was wandering around without relaxing at all.
