Doctor Xianggong, the goddess of poisonous belly

Chapter 353 It’s Different With Ah Nuan Accompanying Me (2)
Si Jixia shook the hand holding the rein of the horse, moved his chest closer to the back of Dong Nuangu who was sitting in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

He has nothing, the only thing he has is Ah Nuan, and now Ah Nuan is beside him in his arms, he has nothing to be afraid of.

Even if the whole world casts aside him, as long as his Ah Nuan does not abandon him, he will have the courage to live.

When the horse's hooves stepped into Dongba Town, the setting sun had already fallen on the top of the western mountain, and soon it would completely sink behind the mountain.

The whole Dongba was quiet, with few pedestrians, and the sound of the horse's hooves stepping into the ground was very clear in this evening, but it was also very heavy.

As if he knew the way, Si Jixia got off his horse and took the reins and walked straight to the northeast of the town without asking for directions.

Dong Nuangu walked on his right side, grabbed his sleeve through the cloak on his body, didn't speak, just followed his footsteps.

The more you go to the northeast of the town, the more people there are on the street, it seems that the people of the whole town have gathered in this northeast direction.

Duan's Dingyuanhou Mansion is located in the northeast corner of Dongba Town.

The vermilion lacquer gate, the stone lion in front of the gate that has been washed by wind and rain for a hundred years is still majestic and majestic. The thick plaque on the lintel is being slowly removed by four officials. The big box came out of the mansion, there were yamen servants with knives on both sides of the gate, and the townspeople surrounded the gate, some pointed, some ridiculed, some sighed, and there were constant buzzing voices from the crowd.

"Hey, why haven't people from the Hou's Mansion come out yet?" Someone in the crowd stood on tiptoe and stared at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, wondering.

"I don't know, some maids and old ladies left yesterday, but today I only saw some servants coming out in twos and threes, and the masters of the mansion haven't seen them yet."

"Hey... this Marquis Mansion, if you say there is no one, it will be gone. It really makes people feel a lot of emotion."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. There are so many officials here. Be careful if you hear something bad. Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, don't talk nonsense."

"I know I know."

Dong Nuan Gu and Si Ji Xia stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, unable to see the specific situation, but they could also know from the low voices of the people that the people in the Marquis' Mansion were still in the mansion, which made Dong Nuan Gu heave a sigh of relief , fortunately caught up.

But...how is Ping An going to enter the mansion? He is just an ordinary citizen at the moment, and he is definitely not allowed to go in through the main entrance like this. , enter as if not enter, what's the point?
"Peace." Dong Nuan turned his head to ask Si Jixia what he meant, but saw him turn around slowly, and said softly, "Ah Nuan, follow me."

Dong Nuan followed Si Jixia away from the crowd, went around to the high wall outside the courtyard of Duan Mansion, walked along the high wall, and as he walked, a small brown door appeared on the high wall, the small door There is not even a plaque on the lintel, so it can be seen that this is a side door that the most humble servants in the mansion would use. Outside this side door, there are overgrown weeds and there is not even a trail.

There is a tall neem tree in front of the side door. At this time, the tree is full of lavender flowers, cluster after cluster, which is really beautiful.

Si Jixia tied the reins of the horse to the tree trunk, stroked the mane on the horse's back, and then turned around to face the small closed side door.

Seeing this side door, Si Jixia didn't show the slightest surprise on his face, but even the action of tying the horse's rein to the tree trunk seemed so natural, as if he knew there was a side door from the beginning.

As the sky was getting darker, Dongnuan began to lose sight of Si Jixia's face, so she grabbed his right sleeve, and even when the night fell completely, she could still clearly feel his presence.

"A Nuan, I have been to this section of Marquis Mansion." Si Jixia stood in front of the side door, lightly pressed his palm to the crack of the door knocker, and said in a low voice, "13 years ago, my seven-year-old At that time, my mother brought me here."

"At that time, it was midsummer, and every weed here grew taller than me, and the mosquito bites in summer nights were painful." Si Jixia's voice was soft and flat, but his hand lightly pressed against the door She trembled slightly, "Aniang sat outside this door with her arms around me for a whole night. When Aniang and I were bitten by mosquitoes and got swollen all over, the person behind this door smiled disgustedly and let me Let's go in."

As Si Jixia spoke, he exerted a little force with his palm, and the closed door in front of him opened with a "squeak".

Si Jixia lifted his foot and stepped into the low threshold, and his low voice continued, "That was the first time I saw such a big yard and house, I think it's a pleasure to see such a beautiful house after being bitten by mosquitoes all night , It’s just that I didn’t know that I was laughing in front and my mother was crying in the back.”

Si Jixia's voice became softer and softer, and his memories became distant, which made his voice seem distant.

"I didn't know at that time, but once I came here, I couldn't get out again." Si Jixia smiled softly, "That summer was so hot that the cicadas kept singing, but I felt very cold."

Because since that summer, everything about him has changed, his name has changed, his life has changed, even his parents have changed.

He didn't want to recall such a past, but in this place where the pain started, he couldn't stop all kinds of past from flooding his mind, making him unable to forget even if he wanted to.

"Peace." Even though he was just grabbing Si Jixia's empty right sleeve, Dongnuan could clearly feel that Si Jixia's whole body was trembling slightly. Little by little, he sank into it, but he didn't know it. He was still talking about himself, and he was still walking forward slowly, and he didn't hear Dongnuan calling him.

Dong Nuangu frowned, raised his hand and grabbed Si Jixia's left arm while standing in front of him, blocking his way forward, staring at his distant and trance pupils with a slight frown, and holding his arm Clenched tightly, and raised his voice to call him again, "Peace!"

Si Jixia stopped in his tracks, but his eyes did not fall on Dong Nuan's face. His thoughts were still wandering, and he seemed to have not found a place where his thoughts and eyes could settle down.

"Look at me in peace!" Dong Nuangu grabbed Si Jixia's arm and shook it, and stroked his cheek with his left hand, rubbing his cheek hard, his eyes were heavy, and his heart was heavy, "Look I, I am Ah Nuan."

"Ah... Nuan..." Si Jixia's slightly white lips moved, and his distant and trance eyes moved suddenly, as if trying to find something, Dong Nuan then continued his words in a deep voice, "Yes, yes I, I am your Nuan."

"My...A Nuan." When he said these four words, Si Jixia's eyes suddenly became clear, and his eyes fell on Dong Nuan's face, and his erratic thoughts also found their home at this moment. It made him stare at Dong Nuan, who was frowning slightly and uneasily looking at him in front of him, and repeated, "A Nuan, my A Nuan."
