After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 118 Tempest

In the past two days, Yao Ruoyun was looking for friends. Apart from wanting to run for the Yao family, he was also secretly inquiring about the "bookstore" that Yao Shouning mentioned, but there was no clue. Feel free to ask.

Yao Shouning said that the bookstore was very mysterious, and that a great Confucian once gave lectures, and he made it clear that this great Confucian was Zhang Raozhi, the leader of the literary world at that time.

And Liu was born in Nanzhao, and Liu Bingzhou was a student of Ziguan Academy, why did he seek help from outsiders?

As for Yao Shouning asking him to keep the secret, he only said not to tell his father, but he didn't say he couldn't mention it to his mother.

"What bookstore?"

Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out when Mrs. Liu was asked by him, so Yao Ruoyun said:

"This bookstore is very mysterious and well-known, and there are great Confucianists teaching..."

He spoke in a serious manner, but Liu Shi heard something wrong:

"Don't lie to me—a person who can be called a great contemporary Confucian—"

Even if it was her father, he could barely be called a Confucian scholar who was famous in Nanzhao. Even if the Liu family gave his father a good face, he could only say "a great Confucian who is famous in Nanzhao" in private.

"Correct!"

Yao Ruoyun nodded very solemnly, affirming his mother's guess:
"Zhang Raozhi also participated in such a bookstore..."

When Liu Shi heard this, she faintly felt a little familiar.

The corners of her mouth began to twitch, her palms even felt itchy, and she wanted to hit someone very much:
"Who asked you to ask?"

When this question was raised, she was already [-]% sure of it.

"Shouning." Yao Ruojun only hesitated for a moment, and confidently confessed her sister's name:

"She checked my homework and asked me if I knew the famous academies and bookstores in Daqing."

"..."

Liu Shi looked at him speechlessly, and even began to feel suspicious.

In the past, she thought that at home, the eldest daughter was docile and pleasant, the eldest son was smart, mature, and well-educated, and would have a bright future, while the youngest daughter had a delicate personality and was the most annoying.

But when she heard Yao Ruoyun's words at this time, Liu felt that her previous cognition had been overturned.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, read your book carefully, and don't inquire about these gossips."

Thinking of the story she told Yao Shouning earlier, she couldn't help being impatient and angry, and she denied it:
"What's the 'bookstore', the great Confucianism teaches, there is nothing wrong with it, your sister lied to you!"

"Impossible!" Yao Ruoyun categorically denied upon hearing Liu's words:

"Shouning is the most honest, it is impossible to lie."

"She's honest..."

The accumulation of all the things almost broke Liu's defenses, and she couldn't bear it anymore, and opened her mouth to utter vulgar words that did not match her background and education status.

Fortunately, she woke up in time and swallowed back the words that came to her lips:

"She's not honest at all!"

"Mother knows this bookstore."

An Zhimu Mo Ruozi, Liu's reaction proved that she seemed to know something, which aroused Yao Ruoyun's interest.

In the beginning, he actually suspected that Yao Shouning was talking nonsense and deliberately fooling people.

Although later she mentioned the specific person who had participated in the bookstore, and this person was Zhang Raozhi, which added a bit of credibility, but Yao Ruoyun did not fully believe it.

Today, on a whim, when I asked about Mrs. Liu, I didn't expect Mrs. Liu to answer, but I didn't expect Mrs. Liu to act suspiciously, which proved that she knew the existence of this 'bookstore'.

The 'bookstore' that Yao Shouning mentioned actually existed!
While Yao Ruoyun was surprised by this, she was also a little annoyed that she didn't know about it.

"I have no idea!"

Liu vetoed it outright, and after speaking, Yao Ruoyun looked at her fixedly, as if she was lying.

"Mother knows, she just doesn't want to tell me."

Is there something that Yao Shouning knows, but he can't?

"..."

Liu only wanted to curse, she was pestered by her son, and Yao Wanning hadn't gotten better inside, she tried to make excuses to slip away several times, but was stopped by Yao Ruoyun, the mother and son hid outside and whispered, their faces turned blue from the cold .

After a long time, Mrs. Liu became irritable and helpless, wishing she could rush into the house to catch Yao Shouning and reprimand her.

But Liu Shi is very clear about her son's character, knowing that if she doesn't explain it clearly, maybe he won't give up easily.

Rather than being stared at by him, it is better to reveal a little news to him - after all, he is not as easy to dismiss as Yao Shouning.

Realizing that she couldn't escape for the time being, Liu Shi finally compromised.

But with the situation of Yao Shouning, a [-]-year-old, in front of her, she naturally didn't want to go into too much detail about the 'Yingtian Bookstore', so she just said vaguely:
"This is a rumored bookstore called 'Yingtian Bookstore'. It is not an academy. The identities of the participants are unknown. It is just rumored that the great Confucian Zhang Raozhi also participated in it."

Mrs. Liu sucked her nose which was already red with cold, and pretended to be stupid:

"The rest, I don't know," she looked at Yao Ruoyun and said:

"After all, I'm just a woman, and I don't understand many things. I only heard a few words from your grandfather occasionally."

When she said this, Yao Ruoyun believed it in her heart.

The name of 'Yingtian Bookstore' is very unfamiliar, even if Mrs. Liu said it, he still doesn't have half of it in his mind, so it's possible that many people don't know it.

That is to say, her grandfather was named Man Nanzhao, so she mentioned it when Liu was unmarried, but it is possible that she didn't know much about it.

Yao Ruoyun nodded when she got a satisfactory answer, and didn't ask any more questions.

It's just that in the end, he was very contractual, and told Liu Shi very implicitly:
"By the way, mother, it's fine for us to know about it. You must not tell dad."

Liu's face changed rapidly, but unfortunately the weather was so cold that she almost lost consciousness, so Yao Ruoyun couldn't see her twitching eyebrows.

"I promised Shouning that I can't let dad know about this. You have to keep it a secret for me."

"..."

This pair of rebellious sons and rebellious women!

Liu Shi was speechless.Recalling that day she had earnestly told Yao Shouning not to tell Yao Hui, but unexpectedly she turned around and revealed the news to Yao Ruoyun. At this time, Yao Ruoyun still asked herself not to tell Yao Hui with a mysterious face—the Liu family was a bit messy, I don't know how to complain about this.

"Mom, did you hear me?"

"I heard!"

Liu Shi suppressed the irritability in her heart, and after sucking her nose, she couldn't bear it and said:

"You don't talk about these things with your sister in the future, don't be spoiled by her!"

"..."

Yao Ruoyun was baffled, seeing his old lady stepping heavily and entering Yao Wanning's room aggressively, she didn't know what words he said made her so angry.

Yao Wanning's illness came very badly, and the doctor was helpless for the time being. Although Yao Shouning was worried about her sister, she couldn't help her if she stayed here. In the end, Cao Mama coaxed her to go back to Liu's house after she ordered the kitchen to prepare meals. .

Liu's complexion was a bit unkind, maybe it was because Yao Wanning's condition was not good, which made her unhappy.

In short, when eating, Yao Shouning always felt that her mother looked at her coldly, which made her restless.

After the two brothers and sister finished their meal, she wanted to go to Yao Wanning's house to have a look, but was sent back by Mrs. Liu, telling her not to cause trouble.

She went back to the house with Mong Kui with some worries, while on the other side, Mrs. Liu sat alone in the house for a long while, as if she had finally made up her mind, and began to make Mammy Cao prepare to go out.

"Mrs……"

Madam Cao was a little surprised. It was getting late, Yao Hui hadn't returned yet, and Yao Wanning's situation was not stable. At this time, where is Liu going?
Mrs. Liu leaned against the door frame, looking at the night sky outside, without making a sound.

She seemed to be able to hear the sound coming from Yao Wanning's courtyard, it was already night, but Yao Wanning's condition did not improve——

Before leaving, the doctor said with great concern that if Yao Wanning's high fever still persists and the time drags on, even if it took a lot of effort to save her, she might become confused.

Liu's hands clenched fists by her side, she has already made a decision:
"I want to give Wanning another chance..."

She wanted to try again, to see if what the man said was true.

Mammy Cao didn't understand, but she nodded in response to what she said.

Yao Shouning didn't know that after he returned to his room, he took advantage of the darkness and sneaked out with Mrs. Liu in a carriage in the house.

But she still didn't sleep well that night, and she heard the sound of water waves, which seemed clearer than last night.

After waking up in the morning, I heard from Mallow that there was another heavy rain last night, which didn't stop until dawn, and the temperature seemed to be colder than yesterday.

When she went to Liu's house, she hadn't got up yet, and Madam Cao was nowhere to be seen, only Fengchun was waiting on her, saying that the wife didn't have a good rest last night.

Yao Shouning only thought that the Liu family was affected by the heavy rain last night, so he didn't care.

It's just that for some reason, the bad premonition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

One day passed, Yao Wanning's condition did not improve, but Liu Shi was no longer flustered like yesterday, but appeared very calm, as if she had already got an idea of ​​Yao Wanning's illness.

Tonight it seemed to be getting dark earlier than usual, Yao Shouning was restless, always feeling like something big was about to happen.

"Miss can't sleep?"

When Mong Kui came in, she saw that she was leaning on the bedside with a script book, lost in thought.

She just took a shower, and her hair was not completely wrung out. Although her face was still a little immature, her expression was far more stable than before.

The slightly damp hair fell down in strands, and was spread alluringly in the crook of her arms, making the wrists as white as jade.

Under the dim light, her eyelashes are long and curled, with well-defined roots and shadows, making her look even more seductive. The black eyes and long eyelashes complement the porcelain-like skin, forming a beauty that is difficult to describe with pen and ink.

"Where's my mother?"

She threw the script book on the bed with some anxiety, and asked a question.

It was Wen Xianrong who returned the words to her. If it was in the past, she must have read it impatiently, but a day has passed, and she pretended to be troubled, and she hasn't turned a few pages yet.

Mong Kui hadn't spoken yet, when she suddenly heard a muffled 'bang', she shivered in shock, and subconsciously looked outside.

However, after hearing the muffled thunder, the sound of 'crackling' rain came in an instant, and 'crackling' hit the roof with such force that it seemed to punch through the roof.

Although it has been raining for two consecutive nights, the rain tonight came fast and urgent, and it was abnormally heavy.

"At this time, how can there be thunder? What a strange thing!"

Dong Kui muttered, and then went back to Yao Shouning's words:
"I'm afraid my wife should take a break. It's raining so heavily tonight, it's not easy to go out."

What she said made sense, but it was hard to calm Yao Shouning's heart.

This heavy rain came in a bad way, as if something ominous was about to happen, there was a vague and strange aura mixed in the heavy rain, as if there was also a gloomy feeling that made Yao Shouning feel uncomfortable—but she The power of premonition is not very strong, although it feels wrong, but I can't tell why.

But since she already felt that something was wrong, how could she lie still.

"I want to find my mother."

After she finished speaking, she lifted the quilt and wanted to get up.

Seeing this scene, Mallow immediately came to stop her:
"It's raining heavily late at night, and the road is slippery, so why should Miss make this trip?"

The family was already troubled, if she accidentally fell down, wouldn't it make Liu Shi even more headache.

But the bad feeling was getting stronger and stronger, Yao Shouning was very insistent on going to Liu Shi, and it was not something that Dong Kui could persuade.

She always felt that something big was about to happen, and she had to go to stop it, so she quickly asked Mong Kui to get some clothes and change, and the master and servant prepared umbrellas and lanterns, and stepped out of the room.

'call--'

As soon as he went out, there was a gust of wind blowing, causing Mallow's petite body to back up and hit the wall with a 'bang'.

The oil-paper umbrella was against the strong wind, and it was difficult to open it at all. The rain was blowing on the two of them with the wind, and they were soon wet.

Yao Shouning wrapped his cloak tightly and walked forward desperately.

Mallow was holding the lantern, and the lantern was blown wildly, and the flame inside went out with a 'pop', as if deliberately preventing the two from going out.

"Miss, it's raining too much, let's go back."

Dong Kui roared loudly, and simply put the lantern in his hand on a bamboo hook on the wall, trying to persuade Yao Shouning to go back.

The strong wind blows the hanging lanterns and flies around like paper kites, flapping and crashing against the wall, like a trapped bird, making a "clang bang" sound, and a little tung oil inside is spilled all over the lanterns.

With such a heavy rain, it is difficult for both master and servant to go out, Liu's side must have rested, and the two of them may just take a trip in vain.

"I gonna go see."

She was restless, feeling that something big was about to happen, and she couldn't lie down.

Seeing her insistence, Dong Kui had nothing to do with her, so she had to pull and support her as hard as she could, fearing that the two of them would be blown to the ground by the wind as soon as they separated.

When the master and servant braved the storm all the way to Liu's house, Liu and Cao Mama were still awake, and they didn't even seem to wash up. The moment they saw their daughter, Liu was terrified. light.

She and Mallow were fished out as if they fell into the water, and there was nothing dry on their bodies.

The hair was full of water, which stuck tightly to her face and body, and flowed down her ankles in a 'crash', which soon became streams.

The two couldn't help shivering from the cold, their faces were pale, and Mallow's upper and lower teeth collided, making a 'click' sound.

Not only Liu Shi was surprised by Yao Shouning's arrival, Yao Shouning was also surprised by Liu Shi's attire.
