Chapter 126 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 7
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Mu Qing put down the wine glass in his hand and walked into the room while yawning.
Not long after, the sound of steady breathing was heard in the room. When Mu Qing was sleeping soundly, a figure suddenly appeared in his room.
Zijin looked at the familiar figure on the bed, his face showing a complicated expression, including worry and joy, but it all turned into hatred and anger in the end.
His palm tightly gripped Mu Qing's neck, but Zi Jin didn't use any force. There was a trace of struggle in his eyes. He was the one who saved him, and he was also the one who abandoned him. He was the one who said he would always be with him, but he was also the one who hadn't heard from him for more than ten years.
All the slaves of the Mu family who could be taken away were taken away, leaving only him. When Zijin thought of his own days of struggle and pain, his eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent.
But looking at the man sleeping soundly in front of him, Zijin felt sorry for him. Two emotions intertwined in his heart. Before Zijin could figure out whether he should strangle the man in front of him.
Mu Qing suddenly reached out and hugged Zijin, turned around and pulled Zijin onto the bed, hugging her tightly.
Zijin wanted to struggle, but found that Mu Qing was holding her tightly, leaving her no room to struggle.
Mu Qing hugged the person in his arms tightly with sleepy eyes, patted him gently twice, and hummed something.
Gradually, Zijin gave up struggling, his eyes were filled with complicated expressions, and finally the look in his eyes was fixed on anger.
He struggled violently, but before Mu Qing could react, Zijin had disappeared from the room.
After being awakened, Mu Qing sat on the ground, looked around blankly, and then looked at his body.
He seemed to have seen Zijin just now, and she seemed to be hugging him? But the next second he felt as if he had fallen off a cliff, and then woke up from his sleep, but this didn't seem to be a dream.
Touching his bruised body, Mu Qing stood up holding the quilt, walked to the window and looked outside. A bright moon was hanging in the sky with a few stars scattered around. It looked very quiet.
After enjoying the cool breeze for a while, Mu Qing yawned, turned over to the bed with the quilt and continued to sleep.
……
Zi Jin returned to his palace angrily and sat on a chair with his eyes full of anger and confusion. He didn't understand why he had let Mu Qing go just now. He had obviously planned to kill him when he came back, didn't he?
Before he could figure out what was going on, a little demon came in to report.
"My lord, according to the spies, demons have appeared in the west and east of the city... They don't seem to be passing by, but are investigating the situation in the city with a purpose... There are many new faces in the city recently, but they all have your mark on their bodies... I suspect they have other intentions in coming here."
Listening to Xiao Yao's report, Zi Jin gradually calmed down, his eyes full of danger.
I didn't expect those monsters and humans to actually dare to come. Do they want to surround and kill him? Then we have to see if they have the ability to do it!
"Don't worry about them. If they dare to come over, kill them. It will be the dark night in two days. They will definitely come out before that." Zi Jin touched the scar on his body and said. After all, only during the dark night will they have a slight chance of winning.
"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.
……
After waking up, Mu Qing walked around the yard, looking here and there, as if he wanted to search the entire yard.
Seeing Mu Qingdong looking around as if looking for something, Ping An put down the broom in his hand, a little confused.
"Master, what are you looking for? Is there something missing?"
"No, I'm just taking a look. Ping'an, do you think there is a basement or something like that in this house? Or is there any cave where we can hide?" Mu Qing asked curiously. Zijin should live in this house. Since there is no one in the house, he should be in the dungeon, basement, dark room, or some cave.
But he looked around and even checked the dog hole, but still couldn't find it. Could there be some secret place in this house?
“There seems to be a basement. I remember hearing from the master before that there seems to be a basement for storing things. It should be near the kitchen in the backyard and is used to store food.
As for the rest, I don't know, and I can't wander around the mansion." Ping An shook his head. Although he was the young master's attendant and had a relatively high status among the servants, and had more freedom of movement, he was still a servant after all, so there were many places he couldn't go.
Mu Qing nodded and walked towards the kitchen while talking.
"Then I'll go check out the kitchen. Ping An, take your time cleaning! Don't forget to make breakfast. I want to eat mushroom and shredded chicken porridge and tofu and shrimp buns."
The originally empty kitchen was safely cleaned up yesterday. Although there were not many things inside, it looked presentable and the air was filled with the smell of food.
Mu Qing walked into the kitchen, picked up a fruit, and went to the basement while eating.
It was dark in the basement, and there was even a strange smell. Mu Qing covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and then fanned in front of his eyes.
This basement probably hasn't been entered for a long time. He didn't think Zijin would live in such a place, but since he was already here, he might as well go down and take a look!
Mu Qing lit the candle in his hand and walked down little by little with the candle. The basement was dark, but it became bright under the light of the candle.
The underground warehouse of the Mu family was large enough to even build a house inside. There was nothing in the warehouse, only some scattered pieces of tables and chairs, broken jars and the like.
Judging from these scattered things, this place must have been filled with food or something, but it was later moved away and there was not even time to clean it up.
Picking up the scattered stones on the ground, Mu Qing looked at them carefully and then put them aside.
These stones did not belong to the Mu family, but rather seemed to be brought in from outside. So if his guess was correct, the Mu family left in a hurry, and naturally they did not have time to take the food in the warehouse with them.
The remaining food was either distributed to the slaves who were dismissed at that time or to the surrounding people.
Now looking at the people around, they should have taken away quite a lot, otherwise all the stones outside would not have been left here.
Mu Qing thought about leaving the warehouse. It was good enough since the grain was not wasted.
Anyway, they couldn't take it away at that time, and it would only go bad if it was left here. Distributing the food to others would not only prevent waste, but it might also save a lot of people, which could be considered a good deed.
Mu Qing was thinking while walking outside, when suddenly he seemed to kick something with his feet. Mu Qing looked in the direction of the kicked thing and found that it was a stone.
But unlike the previous stone, this stone looked very smooth, like a pebble in the garden, but I don't know why it appeared here? After all, this stone is quite big, as big as an egg, so it shouldn't have been brought here accidentally.
Mu Qing liked all kinds of stones very much. When he saw the pebbles falling in the warehouse, he squatted down and picked them up.
Just as I was about to put it in my arms, I suddenly noticed something strange on the stone.
Mu Qing brought the stone in his hand close to the candle, looked at the dried black mark on the stone, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, but also afraid that he had not seen it wrong. Mu Qing did not care about anything else and ran up quickly.
After returning to the ground, Mu Qing carefully looked at the stone in his hand. There was indeed a black mark on the egg-sized pebble. It was a little blurry when he saw it underground before, but on the ground with sufficient sunlight, he could clearly identify that the black mark was a dried blood stain.
Mu Qing looked at the dried blood and felt very complicated for a moment. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, his lips trembled.
