Девять песен - Глава 3
The man lay on the ground, ignoring me. His eyelids were closed, and his face was pale. He seemed to have lost consciousness.
My heart skipped a beat. I quickly squatted down, lifted his eyelids, looked at his eyeballs, and then grabbed his hand to examine it. My heart immediately sank.
Oh no, oh no.
Master said that when time travel is not a natural selection but a human-made process, the interweaving and transformation of time and space will generate a special energy flow with bioelectric properties. Master always collects the energy flow generated when I help others travel through time and space for his own cultivation.
No one came to collect the energy flow this time. Could it be that it all transferred to him? If so, what will happen to him? Will he die?
"Young master, what has happened?" Heavy, urgent footsteps sounded outside the heavy curtains, accompanied by an anxious call. It was probably a guard standing outside the cabin.
Needless to say, they must have been worried because they saw the spectacular sight of people falling from the sky.
I rolled my eyes; I was practically fainting.
God knows how much courage and willpower I mustered at the last moment to desperately cover my mouth and not scream. Why did so many people still see me fall from the sky?
what to do?
********* ...
A red brocade was forcefully ripped open, and Lin Ye rushed in, sword in hand.
The young master met Miss Ziru at the open pavilion today, and he stood at the stern of the boat. Everything was fine at first, and Miss Ziru's zither music was calm and continuous. But when he noticed that the music suddenly went awry and even a string was broken, he was startled. Upon closer inspection, he was horrified.
Good heavens! He actually saw a woman descend from the sky and instantly disappear into the layers of gauze curtains.
He almost bit his tongue.
The next second, he suddenly remembered that the place where the woman had fallen was precisely where the young master was!
The longsword was immediately drawn, and Lin Ye rushed forward like lightning. The usually composed and dignified general lost his composure and cried out in alarm, but received no response.
I was extremely anxious.
Damn those layers of curtains, they block out all vision, making it impossible to see anything.
When he finally rushed in, filled with anger and frustration, he saw the young master pale-faced and slumped on the ground. Miss Ziru was squatting beside him, supporting him. Both of them had strange expressions, their eyes fixed on a patch of swaying red brocade.
Through the sheer red brocade, layer upon layer of fabric, a blurry figure was frantically darting about.
Chapter 6 Legend of the Monsters
Having finally shaken off my pursuers, I lay exhausted in the hold below deck, so tired I could barely breathe.
I clung to the hatch, still keeping a close eye on anything happening above.
Speaking of which, the guy I hit looked rather weak, but he seemed to have quite a background. I only hit him once, but it was like stirring up a hornet's nest. A large group of pursuers came one after another, and they were all very tall. I was completely unfamiliar with the place and couldn't handle them for a while.
I wonder if I killed it?
I felt a little guilty.
But you can't blame me, I didn't want to hit him. I was in mid-air, I had no choice. If that bastard hadn't tricked me, I wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place, let alone hit him.
So, if someone gets killed, the blame should fall on that dead guy, don't come looking for me.
And he also bears some responsibility. Before he was hit, he clearly saw that I was about to fall, so why didn't he just run away? Why didn't he dodge? Since he didn't dodge, he shouldn't be held responsible if he was hit and killed.
These two guys' responsibilities have caused me a lot of trouble.
I haven't had a moment to catch my breath since I fell down. It's been a whole day, and I've basically been chased so much that I have nowhere to stand!
Why is my life so miserable?
I, Lin Qingyan, have single-handedly facilitated countless romantic time-travel adventures for young girls over the years. Each time, I remember to give them a good start and try my best to provide them with a good family background.
When it came to me, not only was I all alone, but I also arrived with a murder charge, making me a fugitive.
Tears streaming down my face ﹏﹏
She thought of that damned man who caused her to travel to this time and space, her eyes darkening as she ground her teeth.
I initially thought he was just a spoiled parasite, an awkward, good-looking guy who dared to be so insidious.
You wait, when I get back, I'm going to chop you into eight pieces, no, sixteen pieces, then grind you into mincemeat, and then feed you to my owl. What the owl can't finish, I'll use as fertilizer for my older sister's rose garden.
Or, you could be sent on a journey through time and time again, never stopping, and each time you'd be bullied, hunted, abandoned, raped, or heartbroken.
I gritted my teeth and muttered to myself.
But, but, it seems I'm in time travel now, and I'm being chased.
Tears welled up again ﹏﹏
"Hey, did you hear? Someone fell from the sky!" A soft, sweet voice drifted down from the deck, its tone coquettish. Accompanied by the soft, light sound of footsteps approaching.
The deck overhead trembled slightly. The sounds of the party ending lazily drifted over, the hustle and bustle fading away, and the weary greetings of everyone heading home echoing through the air. Lost in thought about the time, and not daring to stand out in casual sportswear with a ponytail amidst the elegant clothes and flowing skirts, I could only weave between the ships, unaware that it was already so late.
"Yes, I heard she's a woman with very strange clothes," another soft voice chimed in.
"What woman? Do women fall from the sky? I think it's a monster more likely," someone chuckled.
"Hmm, maybe." A chorus of agreement followed.
"What, a monster? I...I'm scared." I heard a pitiful, trembling voice.
"What are you afraid of? If a monster were looking for someone, it wouldn't be you. Of course it would be looking for a man. Haven't you heard it's a female monster? Maybe she's here specifically to absorb men's essence to practice evil magic." A disdainful tone.
"Oh dear, I'd better keep a close eye on my husband. I can't let him go out and find other women these days. Who knows which woman might be a monster in disguise? What if... what if... I don't want to live anymore, 5555..." Her sorrow and fear were intertwined.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
Chapter 7 Survival is the First Step
I lay speechless at the bottom of the cabin, listening to the women crying and making a scene as they walked away, completely at a loss for how to react.
Monster? Absorbing men's life essence? Practicing evil magic?
He vomited blood.
My God, what kind of nonsense is this?!
She'd better keep her husband in check. Otherwise, if I see him in a way that displeases me, I can't guarantee he won't suffer some kind of mishap. Of course, I'm not talking about his lifeblood, but his very life. Although I'm just an ordinary human girl, I'm definitely not someone to be trifled with.
After waiting for a while, it got dark all around, and I could hear the gurgling of flowing water, as if a boat was setting sail.
The murder case should be closed now, right?
Under the cover of darkness, I quietly went up to the deck, stole a set of relatively simple clothes and put them on. I wrapped my own clothes in them, stuffed them into a large incense burner, and quietly threw them into the water.
I watched sadly as the incense burner sank rapidly into the water, disappearing into the darkness, and sighed softly. This outfit was my favorite. My older sister accompanied me, and we wandered the streets for hours, spending almost half the price of a book to find it. I wore it for only a few days before having to throw it away in this world. How unpredictable life is!
But what can I do if I don't throw it away? I can't exactly carry around something that could reveal my origins at any moment, can I?
Now that I'm here, survival is the first priority. I need to protect myself first before I can think of a way home.
However, perhaps I don't even need to think about it. After all, I still have my master to protect me. Maybe when I wake up from a nap, my master will be standing in front of me with a smile, reaching out his hand to take me home.
I smiled, clapped my hands, and stood up from the edge of the boat.
Next question.
I'm hungry, where's the kitchen?
************
A slender, jade-like finger tapped lightly on the table, moving at a leisurely pace.
Mo Yu looked amusedly at Lin Ye's throbbing veins on the opposite side.
However, it's quite remarkable that she managed to escape Lin Ye's pursuit. Mo Yu pondered, and the image of those bright, star-like eyes resurfaced in his mind. Although her face was filled with terror, those eyes seemed to be blooming with flowers, as beautiful as brocade.
Mo Yu slightly curved his lips, revealing a faint, serene smile.
Its gentle, jade-like quality subtly exudes a formidable aura.
People praise his handsome appearance, his jade-like temperament, his elegant manners, his noble demeanor, and his reputation as the greatest talent in the world, but they often overlook his intimidating and awe-inspiring presence as the youngest Minister of War in the history of the Tianxing Dynasty.
Simply because the name of Young Master Moyu is so dazzling, it easily inspires fantasy and admiration in people. It is too easy for him to become the protagonist of a perfect legend.
Mo Yu's name has resounded throughout the world since childhood.
Young Master Moyu could recognize military texts at the age of three and recite them fluently by the age of five.
At the age of ten, Young Master Moyu went on a diplomatic mission to Shan Xian in place of his father. His eloquence and persuasive arguments left Shan Xian's renowned ministers speechless and forced them to retreat in shame.
At the age of eleven, Young Master Moyu went up the mountain with his master to learn martial arts, and never came down the mountain again. Yet, Young Master Moyu's name spread far and wide.
At the age of sixteen, Young Master Moyu rushed a thousand miles, turning the tide and saving the 200,000-strong Tianxing army from drowning at the border. Afterwards, he quietly returned to the mountain.
At the age of nineteen, Young Master Moyu, following his father's dying wish, descended the mountain to take the imperial examination. His literary talent astonished the court and the public, and he was personally named the greatest scholar in the land by the emperor.
Mo Yu Gongzi﹏﹏
I sat in the restaurant, listening to the lavish praise and expressions of respect from the guests, and remained silent.
Chapter 8 The First Startup Fund
I really don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky. Not only did I fall into the Sky Alliance Continent, but I also landed right on Mo Yu, who was at the height of his power in the Skywalking Dynasty. Seeing how people were talking about him as if he were a god, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide, frown, and try my best to recall. In the end, all I could remember was a rather delicate and handsome pale face, which had nothing to do with the elegant and noble scholar I was supposed to be.
I shook my head dismissively. Rumors stop with the wise. I have personally verified that Mo Yu is not as good as he seems; he is nothing more than an idol-level idiot.
Sigh, whatever, whether Mo Yu is an idiot or not is none of my business. What matters is that since he's not dead, that's wonderful. Since he's alive, he'll probably forget about me after a while, and I can live my life without worry, focusing solely on finding my clues without fear of being hunted down.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and felt happy.
At this moment, I was wearing a light green dress, probably the kind worn by maids on a pleasure boat. The material was quite nice, and the style was no different from what ordinary women would wear. I also had a heavy purse hanging from my waist, containing a large bag of jewelry and gold and silver, which I had swiped from the madam's room while looking for the kitchen.
