Chapter 118: My Snowball

  A girl wearing a light green dress, her hands tied behind a pillar, her mouth stuffed with a piece of good silk, the whole person dazed and sleepy, can't see her face, only feel that she is not old, about 16 or 17 years old. Just taking this set of clothes to exchange for money, it's enough for a poor family to eat for half a year. She wore a red hairpin with fingernail-sized inlays on her head, and the butterfly-shaped gold hairpin was exquisite in workmanship and style. The white jade bangle on her hand was valuable, and even the earrings she wore were made of two East pearls that were difficult to match in size and color. Her feet were wearing a pair of shoes embroidered with more than a dozen grains of pink pearls...

  This young lady was so wealthy and noble, yet she ended up like this, with a lot of mud on her body, her makeup all messed up, looking just like a dirty cat. Who knows what she originally looked like? She probably wasn't too bad.

  Qin Dai Xin, who was also tied to another pillar, wasn't in a much better situation. Her clothes were torn in several places, her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered with dirt and grime. However, her mouth wasn't gagged, and she had already come to her senses, so she simply stood there, sizing up the other girl who was still unconscious.

  Qin Dai Xin sighed in her heart, she knew that this Pu Fa Temple was not a place to go. Looking again, something had happened again! This place really didn't match her eight characters, it was very offending. Why did she love quietness so much and went to the tower yard where no one usually goes? Qin Dai Xin looked at the girl who was still unconscious on the opposite side, did this count as being implicated by her?

  Qin Dai Xin took two maids to the pagoda, and while admiring the stupa, she suddenly discovered that someone seemed to be hiding in the shadows, breathing steadily, extremely shallow and long. She knew this person was a master, but didn't know why he was hiding in the shadows. Just as she was thinking about whether to take the two maids back, she suddenly caught a whiff of faint blood scent in the air. Upon smelling this bloody smell, she changed her mind on the spot, letting the two maids return by themselves while she stayed behind to numb the opponent.

  As expected, the two girls successfully left the scene of the crime. Just as she was thinking about whether she could also escape this disaster, she was knocked unconscious. In fact, she had the ability to fight back and could have easily dodged her opponent's attack. However, since there were two opponents but only one attacked, she decided not to counterattack blindly and instead chose to remain calm and observe her opponent's moves.

  This move was a bit adventurous, but she won the bet, at least for now, she's not dead yet, just tied up in such a... Qin Dai's heart raised her eyes and looked around, it seemed to be an abandoned temple.

  However, Qin Dai'er took another look at the unconscious girl. She had been implicated by this girl and yet didn't know who she was. Now it seemed that there were indeed two people in the tower earlier, but not two experts! Her worries might have been unnecessary. The other person who was breathing calmly was likely to be this unconscious girl before her eyes. Since she was unconscious at that time, Qin Dai'er had mistakenly taken her for an expert and missed the opportunity to escape.

  Alas, man proposes but God disposes, her character is indeed not good enough!

  He had clearly found a very powerful master, but unfortunately, before he could accomplish anything, something like this happened right before his eyes.

  At this moment, the girl opposite him let out a soft murmur and slowly woke up. At first, she seemed to be unaware of where she was, but when she saw her surroundings clearly, she suddenly widened her eyes and her body began to twist and turn restlessly.

  Qin Dai Xin rolled her eyes and said loudly: "You be quiet." Looking at her like this, she didn't seem to be injured either. Was the one who was injured someone else?

  The girl in the water-green dress seemed to have just discovered Qin Dai Xin's existence, seeing that she was like herself, couldn't help but reveal a few thoughts, but her mouth was blocked by something and she couldn't speak, only making "uuu" sounds.

  Qin Dai sighed and said: "I was implicated by you, you were kidnapped at the Pu Fa Temple, I accidentally discovered it, so I was brought here together with you."

  There were tears in the girl's eyes, whether it was fear or guilt or something else.

  Qin Dai said: "Crying won't help, the most important thing now is to leave here quickly and go to a safe place. You're just a young lady, how did you offend someone?"

  The girl shook her head desperately and made a few more "woo" sounds, but Qin Dai couldn't understand either, so she simply said: "Forget it, don't say anything else, I don't understand either."

  At this moment, there were sudden footsteps outside. The girl was terrified and tears fell like broken pearls. Qin Dai's heart remained calm, what was meant to come would always come.

  Two people walked in from outside, one was a fat man, about two meters tall and weighed around 300 pounds, with a shiny bald head. Despite the chilly weather, he only wore a gray sleeveless vest, which showed that having more fat meant being resistant to cold. The other person was thin, about 1.6 meters tall, with an unremarkable appearance except for a pair of small triangular eyes that were exceptionally bright and sharp, making people feel uneasy at first glance. The fat man held a lot of food in his hands and walked in front, while the thin man carried a curved knife and followed behind.

  Qin Dai Xin glanced at the knife and suddenly her mind was filled with a thousand threads of thought, unable to make sense of it all.

  The fat and thin men saw that they were awake, but not surprised. The fat man didn't say a word, put the food in front of them separately, took another portion for himself, and ran to the side to eat with gusto. The thin man walked to the girl wearing a water-green dress, squatted down, and without regard for her resistance, directly removed the handkerchief stuffed into her mouth, saying impatiently: "Don't make noise."

  The girl was very frightened, obviously shrinking back a bit, tears constantly falling down, but didn't dare to make another sound. Qin Dai's heart did hear a few points of the door, but couldn't see through the matter even more, and her mind started to wonder, who exactly was this girl?

  The thin man squatted down, looked back and forth at the girl and Qindai Xin, and said: "I'll let you two go now, be honest, eat obediently, and suffer less physical pain. Otherwise, hum!" The warning in his words was very clear, and by the end, there were a few hints of ill intentions.

  "Hmm~" The fat one ate half, suddenly exerted himself "Hmm" sound, the thin one heard, had to touch his nose, gloomily walked to the side, sat down on the ground without eating anything, but took out a wine gourd from his waist, tilted his neck and started drinking. On the contrary, it was the fat one who put down the food in his hand, wiped his hands on the gray clothes he was wearing, and separately went to the two pillars, untied the ropes for the young girl and Qin Dai Xin.

  As he approached, Qin Dai Xin smelled a pungent smell on him. Qin Dai Xin moved her wrists which had been bound for half a day and carried the food wrapped in oil paper to that girl. Her action only attracted the attention of the thin man who took a glance at her and then continued drinking.

  "You'd better eat some more, you don't have the energy, how can...". Qin Dai Xin knew she was a clever person and that's all she needed to say.

  The girl listened, and her eyes indeed rose with hope. She didn't care about her image anymore, using her sleeve to wipe away her tears, picking up the food that was placed aside, eating it in small mouthfuls. Qin Dai saw that she wasn't someone who wouldn't listen to advice, so she also didn't continue to communicate with her excessively, lest they arouse suspicion and make things worse.

  At this time, the sky was gradually darkening. Qin Dai's lunch had not been eaten yet, and she was tied up here. At this time, her stomach was already growling with hunger, and she was very hungry. When she picked up the food to eat, she was stunned again. The oil paper wrapped in addition to rice, only mutton. She was afraid of being seen through, so she quickly ate it up. The eating appearance was not good, compared to the girl beside her, it was really much worse.

  Qin Dai Xin ate while mentally calculating, wondering if the two had any other helpers. From their auras, it seemed that the person who kidnapped her from Pu Fa Temple was not among them. That person's skills were above these two, which could be judged from the three people's breathing patterns. Especially the fat one, although he seemed to intimidate the thin one, his skills were definitely inferior. It was just two people, yet there was a hierarchy, was this just a coincidence? Qin Dai Xin's thoughts shifted and she thought of her family again. The Qin Manor must be in chaos by now. The Su family would not be able to keep it hidden for long either. She wondered if Ruyi and Chun Lian had seen the golden melon seed on the ground after they returned and found her missing. This was a clue she left behind, just to let others know that she was kidnapped.

  Qin Dai's heart sighed, a golden melon seed was really too small, and there were so many withered branches and fallen leaves on the ground that it might not be discovered. At that time, her purse only had the golden melon seed, if she hadn't taken advantage of giving silver to the two maids, she might not have been able to keep even the melon seed.

  Two people ate their meal hastily, just filling their stomachs. The sky was getting darker and the broken temple was getting blacker. Qin Dai's heart didn't care about this environment, which wasn't bad for her. She had experienced a lot in her past life, so this wasn't anything to her. However, that girl wearing a water-green dress was indeed a genuine young lady from a noble family. Where had she seen such an array? Thinking of herself as a good and innocent girl, unclear and inexplicable, being kidnapped to such a place, it was really hard to survive. Her father was a man with a head and face, always doting on her, treating her like a treasure. He probably couldn't withstand this blow. She had already been engaged, the other party was someone her parents liked, heard that he was excellent in both literature and martial arts. If he knew about this matter, he would probably never look at her again. It was still Xue Tuan, thinking of the white long-haired green-eyed cat she raised, Qi Baozhu's tears fell even more fiercely. Baoyan had always liked Xue Tuan, several times wanting to take it away to raise. If she died, wouldn't Xue Tuan change owners?

  Thinking of this, Qi Baozhu couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears: "My Xuetuan..."
