There was a work blush on the girl's cheeks. Yanji noticed it and thought casually, ah, is this anger? It's a bit boring...
"In this case, I can only wait here."
The girl smiled at Yan Ji with a bit of shyness: "I'm really sorry to bother you. Can I stay at Guibao for one night today?"
——She guessed wrong.
…
Curiosity is a very hard-to-explain thing.
There are always many feelings that burst out from the initial curiosity.
It's the same for humans and monsters.
Yanji became curious about this girl, and everything that happened later seemed to be no surprise.
…
The girl lived in the mountains, waiting for the arrival of the man she had agreed with.
It's a pity that the person she was waiting for never came.
…
This is not a very novel story, it is just a common love story between an innocent young lady from a wealthy businessman and a young man from an ordinary family with evil thoughts.
——A deliberate seduction, a wishful thinking.
The girl waited for half a month and got nothing.
Yanji thinks this human being is really interesting.
She was not like most of the women Yan Ji knew, who always chose to deceive themselves at such moments. After the girl realized that she had been deceived, she directly made a farewell request to Yan Ji.
Yanji agreed to let her leave the mountain, but she had to dedicate her soul to him after her death.
——In the past half month of getting along, Yan Ji felt more and more that the color deep in the girl's soul was very dazzling.
Different from monsters and ordinary humans, such a dazzling and gentle color.
——Made her very excited.
After thinking carefully, the girl accepted Yan Ji's request.
In her opinion, regardless of whether Yan Ji is a monster and she is a human, even among humans, no one has to satisfy the demands of another person for free.
When you are penniless, even your soul can be used as a bargaining chip.
The girl dedicated her name to Yan Ji.
Hanako is a girl's name - in that era, about half of the girls born in the common people had the word "花" in their names. Although the girl Hanako's appearance was not popular at all, her father's naming skills were obviously very popular.
.
Hanako was a maverick woman at the time.
She left Yunwu Mountain and returned home very calmly. At that time, the family gave up after searching for her for such a long time without finding her. After her sudden return, they did not show any surprise, and were even a little frightened and resentful.
——There was a distant cousin in the family whose parents were both dead. Hearing that Hanako’s family was looking for a daughter, he volunteered to come and recognize her.
The girl was not as beautiful as Hanako, but she could be considered elegant. It happened that Hanako's family needed a beautiful girl, and the two of them hit it off.
She voluntarily married into the second son of the city lord's house instead of Hanako, in exchange for Hanako's family getting a better chance.
When Hanako came back, she heard that the second young master was also a very good person. Although the noble young masters of this era had the same love for beauty, he was always very gentle towards beauties, and his newlywed life with his new wife was quite happy.
Hanako felt half relieved - even if she left home because she wanted to pursue her love, she never thought about causing misfortune to the innocent girl.
After living at home for a few days, Hanako's father treated her like nothing for most of the time, and the rest of the time showed his disgust for her ability to survive from the monster mountain.
Hanako's mother felt that she was not a good woman for disobeying her father and leaving home to stay with monsters for so long - she even secretly doubted whether Hanako was still a human being.
After all, Hanako had been missing for half a month, but she didn't seem to have suffered much. But if she was asked to say how she survived for such a long time, she couldn't tell.
That is...Yunwu Mountain.
It's not like no one has entered that mountain by mistake before, but without exception, no one who has entered has ever come out alive.
——Except Hanako.
Except Hanako.
At first, Hanako didn't realize what her family's attitude of disgust and fear towards her was, until her mother took the initiative to mention Yunwu Mountain and directly said that he should die in Yunwu Mountain, Hanako was stunned.
In situ.
For a long time, she smiled and did not refute her mother's harsh insult. She just silently exited the room, and then took the opportunity to inquire about the Yujun who she had agreed to leave with in the next few days.
things.
Then Hanako knew that her Yujun had always been interested in her family's belongings. When he learned that Hanako wanted to leave, he became impatient, and even took the initiative on the day he and Hanako agreed to leave.
He revealed to Hanako's family the fact that Hanako was leaving.
The family did send someone out to look for her that day, but at that time Hanako accidentally entered Yunwu Mountain and was detained by Yanji on the mountain.
When she learned that Hanako was missing within the Yunwu Mountain area, her family had already decisively given up on Hanako.
——When she knew this fact, Hanako felt a little sad.
It's not that I'm sad about my family's attitude, I just feel like I was a fool for believing in Yoo-jun's sweet talk about love.
On the contrary, she was actually very grateful to her family. She was grateful that until now, her family was just watching with cold eyes, but they did not want to burn her to death.
Hanako has known since she was a child that she is a tool that can be used, and because of her appearance, she can probably be regarded as a very valuable tool.
This is a concept instilled in her by her mother, and she doesn't think anything is wrong when she thinks about it now.
Because of this value, she enjoys a more privileged life than others, and then naturally performs the job that a tool should have.
——This is how it should be.
This is how it should be.
Hiding in the shadow of the tree, Hanako heard others talking about herself, Yujun, and the City Lord's Mansion, and a complicated emotion suddenly arose in her heart.
——If she had not entered Yunwu Mountain at that time, maybe now she would have had some remaining value of letting her family disappear, and there would be no need for everyone in the village to shout about beating her.
It's a pity that after walking around Yunwu Mountain, she has become an unknown existence, and the so-called tools seem to be covered with a layer of rust. There is probably no need to pay attention to a tool that cannot be used, and an unknown one
People who are not allowed to exist.
Hanako didn't know why, but at this moment, she felt a very secret joy in her heart.
