MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 12 green
Chapter 12 Qingqing
Golden Crow casts a radiant light, but most of it is blocked by the lush branches and leaves.
A girl is sitting on a tree, and a monkey is squatting.
Xiao Lian had a look of disbelief, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.
No dizziness!
Then, she stared wide-eyed at the girl who continued to climb up under the guidance of the monkey, and was covered by branches and leaves in an instant, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes.
On the tree, Xinyou's expression was stiff, and her eyes fell on one spot.
Two thick branches formed a strong branch, and there lay a person, no, a corpse.
The face of the corpse has long been indistinguishable, only from the body shape and clothes, it can be confirmed that it is a woman.
Xin You covered her mouth, her stomach was overwhelmed, and she couldn't control herself anymore and jumped off the tree.
Xiao Lian saw Xin You jumping down from the tree suddenly, her hands on the ground trembling all over, she couldn't help being startled: "What's wrong with you?"
Xin You paused for a while before looking up at Xiaolian.
That pale face made Xiao Lian's expression stiff, she covered her mouth and asked tremblingly, "On the tree...what's on the tree?"
Xin You took a deep look at Xiaolian, staring down at the ground.
The mountains and rocks are everywhere, and the soft grass is tenaciously drilled out, showing off its vigorous vitality.
Once something unacceptable happens, there is no way to escape.
She is so, so is Xiaolian.
The wind seemed to be getting stronger, and the girl's soft voice reached Xiao Lian's ears, and she had regained her composure: "There is a female corpse on the tree."
"Female corpse?" Xiao Lian's face faded, and she subconsciously took a step towards Xin You, but her feet softened and she fell to the ground.
She grabbed the weeds with both hands, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Is it my girl?" Xiao Lian raised her head and asked desperately, but she already knew the answer in her heart.
Besides the girl, who else could it be?
It turned out that the girl was stopped by this tree after falling off the cliff, so no one could be found.
Was the girl still conscious at that time?
It must be painful, right?
Would it be that she was still awake at that time, but could not wait for someone to save her?
These questions cut Xiaolian's heart like a sharp knife, causing her to break down and cry.
Xin You stood quietly without answering.
The monkey looked at the two of them suspiciously, and saw that they were standing and sitting without doing anything else, so he cried a few times anxiously.
Xin You sighed and reminded Xiaolian: "Now is not the time to cry, those two guards will be back soon."
Xiao Lian stopped crying, got up, stared at Xin You eagerly and asked, "Did you see clearly, is it my girl?"
Xin You shook her head, and said truthfully, "It's already corrupted beyond recognition."
Xiao Lian was shaken all over, wiped her tears indiscriminately, and begged with a trembling voice: "I want to see it with my own eyes."
Xin You jumped up to the branch closest to the ground, and stretched out her hand to Xiaolian.
Xiao Lian thought it would be difficult to climb the tree, but the strength from that slender hand was far stronger than she imagined, and when she recovered, she was already on the tree.
As far as the eye can see, there is a female corpse that has been corrupted to the point where the bones are exposed.
Xiao Lian took a deep breath, and tightly covered her mouth.
Although the color of the clothes was hard to distinguish, the little maid who was very familiar with her own girl quickly recognized her: "It's my girl! The girl was wearing this dress when she went out that day!"
Xiao Lian wanted to climb to the side of the female corpse, but her body swayed and almost fell from the tree.
"Be careful." Xin You stretched out his hand to support her, with sympathy hidden in his eyes, but his voice was calm, "Time is limited, we have no time to restrain Miss Kou's bones and let her rest in peace. I have a suggestion, listen to it."
"Tell me." Xiao Lian's hands and feet were cold, her heart was even colder, and the warmth conveyed by that hand became more and more obvious.
"When I was led here by a monkey just now, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a cave. Let's go and explore it later. If it's suitable, we'll put Miss Kou there for now and bury her when there's a suitable opportunity. What do you think? ?”
Liu Shenwuzhu's little maid nodded quickly: "I listen to you."
Xin You took Xiaolian down the tree and headed straight for the cave.
Perhaps God took pity on Miss Kou who died unjustly. The cave discovered by Xin You was narrow outside and wide inside.
No matter how loyal Xiao Lian was to Kou Qingqing, she knew how difficult it would be to transfer such a corpse from the tree to the cave.
Xin You thought of a non-solution method: "Just use the carriage door curtain."
"The door curtain of the carriage?" Xiao Lian was stunned, "But the carriage stops at the foot of the mountain, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. What if the two guards come back?"
As for how to explain to the coachman, Xiao Lian couldn't even imagine.
"I'm fast, and I will come back as soon as possible. If the two guards come back first, you can tell them that I ran after the monkey and you didn't keep up. Tell them to find someone quickly."
Listening to Xin You's order, Xiao Lian nodded blankly.
After Xin You left for a while, the two guards came back.
"I didn't find the jade pendant." A guard said and found Xiao Lian's eyes were red, and was surprised, "Sister Xiao Lian, what's wrong?"
Xiao Lian didn't have to force her tears to fall: "The girl is gone!"
The two guards were taken aback, and said in unison: "How could that be!"
"It's all because of the monkey's mischievousness. He snatched the girl's hairpin and ran away. The girl chased after her in a hurry, and disappeared in the blink of an eye..."
The two guards were anxious: "Which direction did the cousin go?"
Xiaolian stretched out her finger in one direction, and soon pointed to the other side.
"Which side is it?"
The little girl covered her face and cried: "I forgot, I turned around!"
The two guards twitched in pain, and made a decision: "Let's go separately to find the cousin girl. Sister Xiaolian, you wait here. We will come back to meet anyway in half an hour."
Xiao Lian nodded: "Then I will trouble you two big brothers."
The two guards split up to look for someone, Xiao Lian looked around anxiously, and finally waited for the figure that reassured her, and hurriedly went up to say: "The two guards came back and went to look for you again, and they will come back to meet in a while. "
Xin You nodded to show understanding, and went straight to the tree.
Xiao Lian followed quickly, and saw that Xin You had already climbed the tree, and she didn't intend to stop, so she hurriedly called girl.
Xin You bowed her head, but didn't pull Xiaolian's raised hand.
"You can't even stand on a tree, let me do it."
"Girl—" Xiao Lian was stunned, and forgot to speak for a moment.
Kou Qingqing's body has some visible bones, and has lost much weight. Xin You covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, resisted the instinct of nausea, carefully contained the remains, and returned to the ground.
The two each grabbed the corner of the door curtain that served as a shroud, and carried the body into the cave.
Seeing that the entrance of the cave was blocked by the moved stones, Xiao Lian's eyes were red again, and she kowtowed several times towards the entrance of the cave.
Xin You rubbed his hands repeatedly by the pool, which attracted the monkey to watch curiously.
A guard who returned first saw this scene and rushed over with a yell: "Bastard, how dare you play tricks on the cousin girl!"
The monkey scooped up a handful of water and splashed it all over the guard's face, then ran away.
The story happened in summer, and the high temperature exposure progressed quickly, so you don't have to think about it.
