I have special undercover skills

Chapter 14

On the third day after Zuo Yunshu left Mingyue Villa, someone really broke into the villa at night.Although it was not confirmed whether those people were looking for Tang Xiaozuo, A Ke hid her in the rockery immediately.

After the stone gate fell, Tang Xiaozuo touched the fire pocket, lit a candle, sat in the cave and waited for the calm outside.

And the direction she was sitting facing happened to be that messy stone wall.

Sitting here is boring anyway, Tang Xiaozuo moved forward, held the candle closer, and studied the things on the wall.

In the dazed candlelight, Tang Xiaozuo vaguely saw some clues from those scratches, the seemingly messy and disorderly traces, but a few words formed in her mind.But in reality, she touched along a few deep scratches, and the words became more and more clear.

If she guessed correctly, someone should have carved words on the stone wall first, but it was destroyed later, and the original words were covered up with new scratches.

She searched for the context of the font bit by bit, and finally pieced together all the words into a sentence, and then subconsciously read this sentence: I was wrong, let me out...

Who is wrong?Who to let out?

It was as if her head had been hit by a thin lightning bolt, and the sudden sharp pain made her hug her head and let out a low moan.The candle in her hand accidentally burned her ear, so she hurriedly threw it away.

The candle rolled a few times on the ground, weeping sideways.The candlelight became extremely unstable, and the jumping orange flames made Tang Xiaozuo a little dizzy. The images that appeared in her mind became illusions in front of her eyes. She actually saw a thin little girl sitting on the ground crying.

She told herself that this was a hallucination, but her reason soon lost control of her emotions. When she saw the little girl crying, she also felt sad.The sadness in her chest overflowed, and she cried inexplicably.

When the stone door opened, Tang Xiaozuo was crying so hard that he couldn't help himself.

There were two people standing outside, one of them came in with a torch and helped her up: "What's wrong with you?"

Tang Xiaozuo had tears in his eyes, wiped his tears and looked at him again and again, then grabbed his cuff and asked while crying: "Guardian Zuo, why are you here?"

"Originally the main door came over, but something delayed, so let me protect you first." He asked her to hold his arm so that she would not stand still, "Are you okay?"

Tang Xiaozuo nodded with tears in his eyes, and calmed down a little.She walked around him to look at the man behind him, but only saw a figure leaving in a hurry.

"Who is that person?" Tang Xiaozuo pointed to the figure and asked Zuo Hufa.

Zuo Hufa turned his head and took a look: "It's a mother-in-law who can't speak. I couldn't find the mechanism, and she opened it for me."

Tang Xiaozuo sobbed: "Mute?" Why is the mute here?
Zuo Hufa helped her go out, and asked again: "Why are you crying?"

"I... I'm afraid of the dark, and the candle has fallen..." Tang Xiaozuo lowered his head and murmured, "Although it sounds embarrassing, but... it's really embarrassing."

Guardian Zuo didn't say anything more, when he reached the bright place, he turned off the torch and threw it aside.

Tang Xiaozuo had already recovered by now, she was a little too quiet as she looked left and right to see that no one was there.Have those people who broke into Mingyue Villa at night been caught?Why didn't Ah Ke come to find her?
She glanced at Guardian Zuo, and suddenly remembered that day on the mountain, he almost pushed her off the cliff.

There was a sudden chill in my heart, and the calm mood suddenly became turbulent again.

Tang Xiaozuo immediately broke away from his hand, turned his head and ran back to pick up the torch he had thrown away just now, and stood in front of him to defend himself: "Guardian Zuo, you know, I didn't do it on purpose, it was her You want to kill me first, and then I will fight back. Let’s talk about when it’s time for retribution, you can’t hurt me anymore.”

Zuo Hufa's slender body stood upright, his eyes filled with moonlight were as cool as water, which made her feel terrified.After a while, he said: "I promised the sect master to come and protect you, so I won't break my promise. You are also tired, so I will send you back to rest first."

Tang Xiaozuo was wondering whether he should trust him or not, when A Ke finally appeared.He ran over panting, seeing that Tang Xiaozuo was fine, his nervous expression eased a lot, then he looked at Guardian Zuo, and asked suspiciously, "Master Zuo Guardian of Tianzhu Sect, why are you here?"

"Before Master Zuo left, he asked the sect master to protect Miss Yunzhi, so the sect master sent me here." Zuo Hufa explained.

A Ke nodded without doubting it, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Then I would like to thank Guardian Zuo for protecting my young lady."

After returning to the room, Tang Xiaozuo couldn't fall asleep.She stepped on the ground with bare feet, walked to the window without making a sound, opened the window and looked, as expected, the left guardian was guarding the window.

She simply leaned on the window and chatted with him, telling him the guess in her heart: "Guardian Zuo, you didn't come to Mingyue Villa just tonight, did you? Did you come here long ago?"

Guardian Zuo nodded: "I was here two days ago."

two days ago?Calculating the time, Feng Linran should have sent him here as soon as he returned to Tianjianmen.

"Then why didn't you show up earlier?" Tang Xiaozuo turned his head and asked him.

Zuo Hufa said coldly: "Why did I show up earlier?"

Tang Xiaozuo was a little embarrassed: That's right, he hates her very much now, so why don't we meet if he can't.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still felt a little unwilling: "Then why did you show up tonight? I am obviously safe in the cave, so you don't have to show up."

She said this a little angry, a little annoyed by his indifference, and annoyed that she couldn't change his dislike for herself.

Guardian Zuo stood leaning against the wall with his sword in his arms, his eyes moved away from her face and met the stars, a star was reflected in his eyes, and his expression was slightly vivid in the flickering.

She asked him this sentence, but never heard an answer.

Just when Tang Xiaozuo thought he would be silent to the end, he suddenly heard him say: "Because I heard you cry."

Tang Xiao's left eye socket felt hot.

The grievance in her heart made her want to punch him but she didn't dare, so she had to hit the window sill with her fist: "I thought, thought you were going to hate me forever..."

When Tang Xiaozuo was about to go back to bed, he suddenly remembered something she had ignored just now, so he asked Guardian Zuo one more question: "You said that a mother-in-law who can't speak opened the trap for you, when did that mother-in-law appear?" ?”

Zuo Hufa said: "I only heard you crying, but I couldn't find you on the left and right. That mother-in-law came over and pointed me to the mechanism..." He seemed to feel a little strange as he said, "Who is that mother-in-law?"

Tang Xiaozuo held his chin in thought, and sighed quietly: "Yes, who is it?"

On this day, Tang Xiaozuo asked Ake: "Do you know Zuo Yun...uh, when will big brother come back?"

"The young owner has been away for seven or eight days, and he will not be back until about half a month later." A Ke replied.

Tang Xiaozuo said "Oh": In half a month, I don't know if I can find something from the dumb woman.

So at night, she called for Protector Zuo and told her that she wanted to do a big thing.

Guardian Zuo unceremoniously shut her into the room and refused to let her out.

Tang Xiaozuo said through the crack while beating on the door: "I haven't said what's going on yet, let me out first."

The slender body of Guardian Zuo leaned against the door, and said coolly: "There are countless pairs of eyes staring at you in this villa, don't you know?"

"Isn't there you?" Tang Xiaozuo scratched the crack of the door and begged, "Guardian Zuo, can you help me once?"

Guardian Zuo outside didn't answer her, but a teasing voice suddenly sounded behind her: "You are a monster yourself, why do you have to bring others along?"

Hearing this voice, Tang Xiaozuo immediately jumped up, then turned around excitedly, and rushed towards the man: "Master..."

Feng Linran opened his arms with a smile, and was hugged firmly by her.

Tang Xiaozuo hung on his body, put his arms around his neck, and said happily: "Master, you're really here?"

"Why not?" Feng Linran supported her body with one hand, and squeezed the tender flesh on her face with the other, "I'm worried that you miss me too much, so come here to relieve your lovesickness."

"But that day you clearly said that you would come to see me in two days, and now it has been seven or eight days." Tang Xiaozuo counted on his fingers, and deliberately looked at him with his eyes.

"Yeah, I broke my promise." Feng Linran smiled, carried her to the table, let her sit on the table, with a pair of long arms on her side, eye to eye and nose to her Nose, even at such a short distance, I looked at her for a long time, and then said quietly, "You are not in front of me, I am always worried about you, I wish I could tie you by my side all the time to be at ease."

Hearing what he said, Tang Xiaozuo lowered his head and smiled shyly.But one thing flashed through her mind inappropriately: he valued her so much, but she approached him with impure motives from the very beginning, and until now, he still didn't know her true love. identity.If you tell him, will he forgive himself?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaozuo climbed up to his neck again, and while observing his expression, said cautiously: "Master, do you think I'm a bad girl?"

"Huh?" Feng Linran touched her forehead affectionately, "Why do you ask that?"

"Tell me." Tang Xiaozuo swayed his body coquettishly.

Feng Linran's hand was whirling around her waist, and he smiled maliciously: "Well, I hope you are a bad girl. If you are so innocent and ignorant of human affairs, it is not easy for me to do something with you." Bad thing."

Tang Xiaozuo let out an "ah" in a daze, and immediately understood the meaning of his words, blushing up to the ears, withdrew his arm, and scolded him: "Master, you are so rude!"

"Who is not serious? Who peeked at me taking a bath last time?" Feng Linran took her hand on her waist and hugged her tightly, "Call you bad, you still can't stand the love words , Say you are not bad, you have played a lot of hooligans with me..."

"I didn't..." Just about to deny it, but what he said was the truth, Tang Xiaozuo had no choice but to swallow it back resentfully, and then changed the subject again, "Master, if, I mean if, if I There is one thing that lied to you, it is a small thing, not serious at all, sect master... will you forgive me?"

"Oh?" Feng Linran looked at her with subtle eyes, "Could it be that you have something to lie to me?"

Tang Xiaozuo hurriedly emphasized: "I'm talking about what if! What if!"

"There is no such thing in the world, it is clear that there is such a thing." Feng Linran narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dangerous breath told her to be frank and lenient, "Tell me, what did you lie to me?"

"No, it's really nothing." Tang Xiaozuo insisted on refusing to admit it, and yelled at him guiltily, "Master, why are you looking at me like this? You still look at me even if you say there is no more, why do you still look at me!"

Tang Xiaozuo wanted to push him away, but he grabbed his hand and locked her in front of her to prevent her from escaping: "It seems that if I don't do anything to you, you won't tell the truth."

Tang Xiaozuo felt like shooting himself in the foot with a rock. How could she say "what if" to someone as cunning as a fox like Feng Linran.

"Master, you don't want to bully people, I will shout, my voice is very loud!" She suddenly remembered that Guardian Zuo was still outside the door, her eyes lit up, and she shouted outside the door, "Guardian Zuo, Guardian Zuo! ..."

As soon as she yelled, Feng Linran covered her mouth.

"You expect him to save you?"

It is true that there was no movement outside, and Guardian Zuo left without knowing when.

Tang Xiaozuo shook his head in horror, grabbed his hand and moved it away from his mouth: "Master, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do with Guardian Zuo, please let me go quickly, I have to go find him."

"You have something to do with him? Didn't he reject you just now?" Feng Linran came over when Zuo Hufa rejected her, "Speaking of which, what did you ask him for?"

Seeing that Feng Linran was finally no longer obsessed with that "what if", Tang Xiaozuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and told him what she wanted to do: "Master, I am very grateful for a person from Mingyue Villa." interest."

Feng Linran's first reaction after hearing this was: "Is this person a man or a woman?"

"Female!" Tang Xiao gave him a blank look, "Master, don't worry, there are not many men in this world who can look up to me, so you don't have to be so sensitive."

"This is the truth. In fact, sometimes I doubt my own vision. If you hadn't confessed your love to me repeatedly, I would definitely look down on you." Feng Linran looked arrogant.

Tang Xiaozuo didn't care about his belittling at all, and nodded in agreement: "I must have built ten temples in my previous life in exchange for my fate with the sect master in this life, so sect master, can you help me with something?"

Feng Linran was in a good mood after being praised by her: "Let's hear it."

Taking advantage of the situation, Tang Xiaozuo said: "There is a dumb woman in this villa, who seems to know some secrets of the villa, shall we go and find out?"

"Other people's secrets, what are you so curious about?" Feng Linran frowned when she heard that this was what she said, "It's not a good thing to inquire about other people's secrets. Be careful the more you know, the sooner you will die."

"But when I first met the dumb woman, she clearly wanted to tell me something!"

"Are you stupid? She is dumb and can't speak!"

"Master, don't be picky about your words. She has many ways to tell me, and I have a way to make her say it." Tang Xiaozuo shook his arm, grinding him hard, "Master, help me." .”

Feng Linran toiled on her for a while, and finally agreed to her.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Tang Xiaozuo was happy, stood on tiptoe, clung to his ear, and whispered.

Tang Xiaozuo told him how he used needles to test the dumb woman a few days ago, Feng Linran rubbed his chin and looked at her with a secretive expression on his face.

Tang Xiaozuo was taken aback by him, and asked warily, "Why do you look at me like that?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have grown your brain, and you are not as stupid as before." Feng Linran looked at her seriously.

Tang Xiaozuo pursed his lips: "Master, what do you mean? You made it as if I didn't have a brain before."

Feng Linran rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Isn't this a compliment that you've become smarter?"

Tang Xiaozuo tied the scarf on and urged him, "Go, steal someone!"

Feng Linran froze his hands, and then regretted: "Although I have become smarter, my cultural level still needs to be improved."

Tang Xiaozuo ignored his nagging, pulled him along and sneaked into the night.

Even though Zuo Hufa had rejected her before, Feng Linran had already accompanied her as a demon, and Zuo Hufa was not easy to watch, so he had to wear night clothes as a last resort to open the way for them.

They have few people and small goals, and Feng Linran and Zuo Hufa are both first-class masters. Even if she is caught in the middle, they still avoid the eyeliners and hidden guards in the villa, and easily come to the dumb woman. s room.

The dumb woman shared a room with a cook. Tang Xiaozuo first blew some misty smoke into it, and after confirming that the people inside had fallen asleep, he opened the door latch bit by bit with a dagger.

The other two looked at the movements in her hands in unison, Feng Linran joked: "The movements are very skillful..."

Zuo Hufa, who has always been indifferent, also answered: "The door master must be careful not to be knocked on the door when he sleeps in the future."

Tang Xiaozuo rolled his eyes towards the sky: "If you two don't help, don't make sarcastic remarks!"

The two men standing taller than her and two blocks wider than her, really shut up. One left and one right next to her, the cat is beside her. One of them turned out to be Feng Linran, the head of the Tianzhu Sect, and Li Nanxing, the left protector, who made people in the Jianghu fearful.

The door latch fell, and the door loosened. Tang Xiaozuo put away the dagger and was about to lift his foot, but the two long-legged people around him stepped over her first, and carried her in by the way.

But Tang Xiaozuo was not happy, she pushed the two of them back out the door to prevent them from coming in, the reason was: "There are two aunts lying in this room, it is not appropriate for you two big men to stay here."

Then the door closed and the latch dropped, leaving the two of them outside to enjoy the cool breeze.

Tang Xiaozuo took out the antidote to wake up the dumb woman, and gave her some water.Seeing her defensive face, Tang Xiaozuo hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, I have no intention of harming you."

The dumb woman got up from the bed, shrank back, and kept making hand gestures. Tang Xiaozuo couldn't understand, but he could probably guess the dumb woman's resistance to her.

Tang Xiaozuo knew that if he wanted the dumb woman to speak, he had to let her trust him first.

So Tang Xiaozuo made a big bet.

She stepped forward to hold the mute woman's hand, stroked the scar on her forehead, and whispered: "Grandma, I fell off the cliff five years ago and can't remember anything. Before the left owner left, I want to promise to forgive Zuo Yunshu, help him, and never betray him, but I always feel that something is wrong, and no one can tell me what is wrong." She held the dumb woman's hand and said earnestly, "If you also think that I It should, and you can choose not to speak. But if you think I should know something, please tell me."

Even the dark night couldn't cover Tang Xiaozuo's begging eyes, but the dumb woman's eyes dodged and did not dare to look at her.

Tang Xiaozuo held her hand with a resolute expression: "Don't be afraid, I won't let others know that I came to look for you, you are safe."

Although there was some hesitation on the dumb woman's face, she still refused to speak.

Tang Xiaozuo didn't want to give up, so he changed the question: "Then I won't ask you other things, I'll just ask some questions about my mother, and I won't embarrass you."

Because of her regress, the dumb woman finally nodded.

Tang Xiaozuo was moved by the dumb woman's agreement, but he didn't feel much relieved.She bit her lip, and asked a question she had never dared to think deeply about: "Grandma, my mother is not a bad woman, is she?"

She was always afraid to think about this question before, because she was afraid that the answer to this question would be yes.When her mother, Thirteen Niang, brought her to Mingyue Villa, Zuo Haotian, the owner of Mingyue Villa, already had a family.Zuo Haotian would take their mother and daughter in, no doubt because he still has old feelings for Thirteen Niang.But after all, he couldn't give Thirteen Niang a legitimate identity, so it was actually unethical for Thirteen Niang to stay in Mingyue Villa.

Tang Xiaozuo was very afraid to hear from others that her mother was a bad woman who destroyed other families.

Fortunately, the dumb woman shook her head when she heard this question.She spoke with a rough and hoarse voice, like a hundred-year-old poplar bark.

She sure can talk.

"No, your mother is not a bad woman, she is at least a good mother."

"Then... how did my mother die?" Tang Xiaozuo couldn't control his excitement, "They said my mother died suddenly due to illness, is that true?"

The dumb woman glanced at her, as if she couldn't bear it: "Your mother died for you."

Tang Xiaozuo seemed to be blindfolded, and asked after a while: "What are you talking about, my mother is doing it for me... But why?"

"Because," the dumb woman sighed, "because she has no other choice, there is no other place in this world to go to, she can wander, but you were still a child at that time, and you couldn't live without a home. Madam disagreed with Zhuang at that time. The Lord took your mother as a concubine, and your mother has no intention of remarrying. But she wants you to stay in Mingyue Villa, so she can only exchange her life..."

The dumb woman said: "Your mother is alive, and you two will always be looked down upon and bullied. At that time, the owner of the Zuo Zhuang was busy with affairs and could not always protect your mother and child. Your mother has been in poor health. An emergency at night The rain made her catch a cold, but within a few days, she was gone."

Tang Xiaozuo was shocked for a moment, opened his mouth, and spoke with great difficulty, "It's just a cold, and it will be fine after taking medicine." She couldn't help crying, "But why is my mother still dying? ?”

"At that time, the owner of the Zuo villa had something to go out, and Mrs. Zuo was in charge of all the affairs in the villa. Mrs. Zuo sent slaves to deliver medicine to your mother. Your mother is so exquisite and intelligent. She only heard about it. The smell of the medicine made me refuse to drink it..."

The dumb woman spoke in an extremely cryptic manner, but Tang Xiaozuo could still hear clearly.

"The medicine was brought in front of your mother, and your mother said: I won't drink this medicine, please let me go with dignity. It's just my child, please tell Mrs. Zuo, and hold your hands high."

Tang Xiaozuo's heart ached so badly that she bent over and lay down on the bed, crying uncomfortably.
