Chapter 79 Chapter 79: Jedi (4)

In comparison, Himeno's life was extremely boring, lying still and looking at the roof every day.Princess Xiaozhou also seems to be a very bad talker, sitting on the bed in her own room with her knees hugged all day long, looking thoughtfully through the window outside the house.So there was no one to order Ye Jin, and she usually sat on Lu Guichen's bed opposite Ji Ye and darned clothes.Ye Jin's handwork is very proficient, Ji Ye watched her fingers thread the needle in and out, as if he wanted to understand the complicated stitches, but he never said anything, Ye Jin didn't ask, the two Personal relative silence can last for a long time, and gradually the sun sets, and the evening bells ring in the barracks.

Himeno didn't have a chance to get off the ground at all, and his feet were clean.Ye Jin simply wiped it clean, and took out a sharp knife from the towel. Under the candlelight, a light flowed across the knife very quickly, and Ji Ye shrank vigilantly.His face twitched slightly from the pain, but he stared at Ye Jin without blinking.Ye Jin raised his hand, froze there, and lit the knife under the candlelight so that Ji Ye could see clearly. The two of them stood in a stalemate for a while, and Ji Ye's body gradually released his guard. Ye Jin picked up one of his feet and put it on his lap, and carefully cut off the too long toenail with a knife.Himeno looked down at her hand holding the knife, as neatly as when she was doing needlework.Ye Jin was afraid of cutting the flesh, so she tried her best to lower her head, and by the candlelight, pieces of toenails fell on her skirt.

Ye Jin finished cutting the toenail of one foot, then picked up the other foot and put it on her lap. "Doing this kind of work, don't you feel wronged?" Ji Ye suddenly spoke. Ye Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "The daughter of a rebellious minister was captured again, and she said nothing about her grievances. Before serving the chief, the servant girl serving the princess is also serving others." "I'm not a princess, nor an officer." Ji Ye turned his head away, "I'm just a soldier. This rank was raised by the general before the expedition. I heard that if you can't make a triumphant return, you will be demoted back to the country." of."

"My maidservant doesn't understand these things in the military camp, but she just takes care of people. The chief is a sick man, so someone has to take care of him." Ye Jin lowered her head and trimmed her toenails, still smiling lightly. The side of her face was illuminated by the candlelight. There was a halo of light on the fluff, "It's not that serving the princess is more honorable, and serving the sick is more wronged. I just hope that my father's sin can be redeemed, and our father and daughter can live a peaceful life." She put Himeno's feet back into the quilt, brushed off the broken toenails on her skirt, put a towel on her arm, picked up the water basin to go out, and looked back at Himeno at the door: "And at my age , to say something disrespectful, it depends on whether the officer is still a child."

Ji Ye frowned, as if he was about to explode, but his expression froze, a fire of ignorance did not ignite.Ye Jin didn't look at him, and went out with her head down.Ji Ye was the only one left in the room. He lay there blankly, staring at the roof, and after a long time, he slowly closed his eyes. Ye Jin carried the water basin, walked to the door of the barracks, opened the door, put the water basin outside, and then went back to close the door.She is a prisoner, and she cannot step out of this barracks at night. For this reason, she does not even drink water at night, and she is afraid of getting up at night.

The room was only illuminated by an oil lamp in Ye Jin's hand, she lightly blew it out, leaned against the back of the door and took a long, long breath, as if she wanted to breathe out the exhaustion of the whole day.Everything was silent, no human voice could be heard, the light of the stars and the moon came in from the window, the little princess who was as quiet as jade was sleeping in the room on the left of her, and the two young officers were in the room on the right, and now these people are all asleep Now, she no longer has to wait carefully to serve anyone. At this time, she is alone, neither a servant nor a prisoner.

She squatted down slowly, staring at the moonlight all over the floor in a trance.She slowly stretched her hands to the ground, into the moonlight, as if she was about to scoop up a handful of water.Her hands were shining brightly under the moonlight, and the calluses on her tiger's mouth and fingertips were also exposed.Lu Guichen and Ji Ye never noticed Ye Jin's palms, nor did they notice that this woman never spread her hands in front of others. A black shadow was cast on Ye Jin, and the moonlight was blocked. Ye Jin got up suddenly, as fast as lightning! She saw a figure outside the window.Suddenly there was a pitch-black shadow, that person was shrouded in a thick black cloak, with a hood covering his entire face.The only thing that can be seen is the man's eyes. His eyes are too bright, like two candles floating in the dark. The two pupils in the flames are faintly glowing golden red, as if the metal is burnt. color after melting.

Ye Jin didn't dare to move, she felt as if she was being pressed down by a weight of hundreds of catties, and was firmly pressed against the door, unable to move at all.She felt that her blood was cooling slowly, starting from her fingertips, it was as cold as freezing. They looked at each other through a window, separated by a wall.After a long time, the people outside raised their hands and threw a cloth bag into the barracks. Ye Jin felt that the great pressure on her body suddenly disappeared, and she rushed out to catch the cloth bag to prevent it from making a sound when it hit the ground.When she looked up again, the black figure had disappeared.

The light of the stars and the moon is still there, and everything just now seems to be an illusion. Ye Jin pinched the cloth bag in her hand, it was real, she untied it tremblingly, and inside the cloth bag was a dagger with a blade bent into a hook, with a bronze-colored blade filled with ancient patterns. The mineral pigment with cinnabar color looks austere and simple.She held the handle, feeling a slight warmth from the dagger.
