Chapter 16

Late at night, heavy rain, strong wind.

No matter how cold the night is and how painful the body is, Zhijin can't feel it anymore. Both of them have injuries on their bodies, and it hurts when they meet the burning water.His head was dizzy, but the only thought in front of him was digging a hole.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, seemingly without end, and the whole day seemed to be covered with water mist. Zhijin and Jingxin threw the corpse into the pit together with the blood-colored bedding, mixed with the rainwater, and buried the soil layer, and so on. After filling it up and stepping on it back and forth, I was exhausted after finishing everything.

There was still a strong smell of blood in the house. Zhijin frowned and rested for a while, and then opened the window to let the cold and clammy rain into the house through the window, diluting a lot of the smell of blood.

Everything seemed desolate and cold.

Neither of them said a word, but they cooperated tacitly to clean up the house, and when the sky turned gray outside, they finally finished everything.

The heavy rain outside did not know when it had stopped, and the strong wind had turned into a breeze.Jingxin dragged Zhijin out of the courtyard and walked towards Zhijin's room.

After that night, I couldn't live in the room, and the house was still in a mess as it was then.Jingxin lit the oil lamp, took advantage of the light to pack up Zhijin's burden and pushed it to her, "Qingshui, let's go before dawn."

"What about you?" Zhijin's dark eyes were full of shame, and she looked at Master uneasily. If she had made up her mind and made plans early, how could she be in the current situation? Maybe it's not the same before following other people's way.

Her heart was pounding, and she had a bad premonition, as if something was going to happen.

Jingxin smiled wryly and shook her head, and left in a hurry. When she came back, she held a few steamed buns, stuffed them into Zhijin's bundle, and pushed her out, "You go first, I'll leave after dawn."

Zhijin narrowed her eyes and held Jingxin's hand: "Master, come with me, let's go to the capital."

"Silly boy, it's too dangerous for the two of you to go. You go first, and I will leave too." Jing Xin pushed her away, and she couldn't help questioning.

At this moment, Jing Xin's eyes were startled, and she froze in place.

Zhijin noticed Master's expression, turned her head, and saw the figure at the door.

Who?
Did he see what they did?

Qin Jin had been listening outside the door for a while, and even came when he came out of meditation. He didn't expect so many things to happen in just two nights.

That day, he hurriedly left Jiuru Mountain with his subordinates and rushed to the capital.After walking for two days, my mood has been restless and I always feel that something will happen.

In addition to worrying about the little nun who seemed easy to bully, he ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and rushed back in the rain.

It just seemed a bit late, and one could tell by the expressions of the two people in the room that something important must have happened.

When Zhijin saw the figure at the door, her mind went blank with a buzzing sound, she only felt that the matter had been revealed, and she and her master would die without a place to bury their bodies.She managed to live again, could it be that she still couldn't escape the death word?

"You, who are you?" Zhijin asked with a trembling voice, her eyes fixed on the person at the door.

The man was tall and seemed to be a man, the man in the nunnery, could it be Jing Hai's friend?
Qin Jin sighed and stepped forward with a golden knife and a big horse. The dim light in the room illuminated him even taller and mighty, giving people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.But in an instant, Zhijin was still worried, this person was from the imperial court, if he knew that they had killed someone, would he report to the officials?

Compared to Zhijin's worries, Jingxin was inexplicably relieved when he saw the person coming.She may not know how this person gets along with Qingshui on a daily basis, but from his actions, he can tell that he is a good person, and he sees Qingshui in a different way.Since he was able to leave and come back, it must be for Qing Shui. If he begged him, he would definitely be able to take Qing Shui away, right?

"If I don't come back, what are you going to do? Wait for the government to arrest you?" Qin Jin stared at Zhijin with a blank expression on his face, without blinking.

Zhijin pursed her lips, her lips twitched, and was speechless for a while.

After all, Jingxin lived longer than Zhijin, and was the first to react, immediately knelt down, banged his head a few times, "General, this nunnery is a wolf's den, you must have seen that Jinghai has already been killed by me. I am willing to stay and take responsibility, and I just ask you to take Qing Shui away. In my next life, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will repay the general for saving my life."

"Master!" Zhijin exclaimed and went up to help Jingxin.

Quietly brushing her hand away, she looked at Qin Jin with firm eyes, "General, please. If Qing Shui is left behind, he will definitely die without a whole body."

"I won't go." Zhijin said stubbornly, "I want to be with Master."

What happened in the past few days is far more and more complicated than the previous life. Zhijin managed to survive, but she couldn't watch her master die, tears welled up in her eyes and wet her cheeks.

Qin Jin glanced outside, it was already dawn, and it would be dawn in a short time, he had to leave here before it was bright.

He ignored Zhijin's words, just looked at Jingxin, and asked calmly: "Have you thought about it?" She might have given up on staying this time.

Jingxin smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Think about it. I killed people in the first place. Jinghai has enslaved me for so many years. She should have died long ago. I only hate that I killed it too late."

Qin Jin nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

Zhijin's heart tightened suddenly, the two of them decided whether she would stay or not, but she couldn't let Master alone bear the burden...

She backed away, wanting to run out, but Qin Jin ignored her refusal, nodded towards Jingxin, and went straight to Zhijin.

Zhijin already had injuries on her body and had a low-grade fever. She would just dodge it instinctively, no match for Qin Jin's body that has been trained all the year round.

Qin Jin held Zhijin in his hands, watched her struggling, and smiled softly: "Did you run away? I'm here to save you."

"I don't want you to save me, you let me go, you bastard, you deserve a thousand dollars." Zhijin rushed to catch Qin Jin, Qin Jin frowned, slapped her on the buttocks, and ignored her at all.

Zhijin felt like a punch on the cotton, soft and weak, which aroused her power of cursing even more. She hadn't scolded anyone in the past ten years, but this scolding was quite smooth, "You martial artist, reckless man, no wonder You don't have a daughter-in-law at such an age, and marrying a daughter-in-law would probably scare you to death. You villain, let me go."

Qin Jin was helpless, afraid of attracting other people, so he slashed at the back of her neck, and Zhijin fainted immediately.

"Meditate on Master's protective heart, she will understand, Qin will leave." After finishing speaking, she rushed out the door and rushed down the mountain.

The sky is bright, the birds in the mountains are singing cheerfully, the sky has cleared up after a night of rain, the sky is blue, the air is fresh, and everything seems to be fine.

When Zhijin woke up, she felt extremely uncomfortable, her waist was tied in her arms, and her whole body was suspended in the air.In just a moment, she knew that this person was Qin Jin, and immediately struggled.

"You put me down."

Qin Jin paused and put her down. He was about to go down the mountain, and he was not afraid of her running away.

Zhijin came down and was about to run up the mountain dragging his weak body.After she ran away for a while, Qin Jin lifted her back and put her down.

When the others were put down, Zhijin ran up without giving up.Qin Jin didn't take it seriously either, and he carried her back when she ran away. Qin Jin went back and forth a few times like teasing a puppy, but Zhijin, who was being played with, became angry and sat on the ground crying loudly.

"Master, I want to find my master, why are you blocking me..."

"Don't cry. I promised your master to take you away, and I will definitely not let you go back." Qin Jin was also helpless, he could always accompany the stubborn Zhijin, but when the woman cried, he really had nothing to do up.

Zhijin ignored him, and walked back while crying, talking about Master.

Suddenly Qin Jin saw a fire on the top of the mountain, and then the fire shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed. He grabbed Zhijin's sleeve and said slowly, "You can't go back."

Zhijin was taken aback for a moment, and looked around, surprised and unresponsive.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, thick smoke filled the air, and the wind like a prairie fire engulfed Jiuru'an in an instant.

"Master!" Zhijin came back to her senses, remembered the master in the nunnery, and finally understood why the master let her go by herself. She had already prepared to die, and she exchanged this painful price for her life.

She broke free from Qin Jin's restraints and ran up the mountain with all her might.

This time, Qin Jin no longer acted like a puppy, he picked up the man and ran down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Qiao Feng led the horse and waited by the forest. When Qin Jin came back, he quickly handed the horse to him.He glanced at Zhijin who was crying and out of breath on Qin Jin's shoulder, shook his head and sighed.

Qin Jin took the horse, threw the burden to Qiao Feng, turned over, buckled Zhijin in front, pulled the rein and shouted, beat the horse and galloped away.

Zhijin's stomach was placed on the horse's back, and she felt that her internal organs were about to be vomited out, but the man on the horse didn't know how to feel sorry for her, let alone how uncomfortable she was at the moment.

I don't know how many tears shed, Zhijin knew that Master would not be able to live if he went back now, and only hoped that Master could set fire to himself and escape from Jiuruan as soon as possible.

Zhijin was overwhelmed and fell into a dazed state. After an unknown amount of time, the horse finally stopped, and Zhijin was thrown onto a soft object, shaking from side to side.

Faintly, she heard someone talking.

"General, take her back to the capital or..." Or leave it on the spot and let her choose.

Only another deep voice said: "Take her back to the capital. If you want to follow me in the capital, you can take her to the Qin residence. If you want to leave, do as you please."

Are you talking about her?Zhijin heard these two sentences in a coma, and passed out again.

Qin Jin glanced at Zhijin, who had passed out, and saw that her face was flushed, there was a wound on her forehead, and the swelling on her cheeks hadn't disappeared. It was really horrible.

"Look for a military doctor to come and have a look." Qin Jin walked towards the front of the team after giving instructions, and ordered in two steps: "Be careful, she is not allowed to leave without permission before entering Beijing." When she arrives in the capital, as long as she has the brains, she probably won't want to go back Jiuruan.
