dream back to qing dynasty
Chapter 45 Distance
Chapter 45 Distance
The group of people got closer and closer, and even the sound of horseshoes stepping on the snow could be clearly heard, and their appearance became more and more clear. The mink fur felt hat, the sky blue cloak, the fair face, and the corners of the mouth seemed to be always With a kind smile, although he is not as bookish as the third elder brother, he can be called gentle and elegant—the eighth elder brother Yinhu.
I lightly covered my mouth with my hand, and suddenly felt like coughing, so I could only hold it back now. I made some calculations in my heart, if I go on now, the horse team is not very close to me, but in case A sharp-eyed person saw it, but it was troublesome, not to mention they didn't know why they came, whether they would stay...
Looking to both sides, except for the bluestone sitting in front of me, there is really no shelter, even some dry tree branches. I have no choice but to move my body slowly and squat quietly behind the bluestone. If you don't look up carefully, you probably won't find it.
"Haha" came a burst of laughter, which was very clear in this empty snow field, I couldn't help but smile wryly, I haven't heard such unscrupulous laughter from Master Shi for a long time, although it can't be called nostalgia, but I can still faintly Bring back some past memories.
"Brother, Brother Ninth," Master Shi's rough voice rang again, "The Zhuangzi ahead is coming soon, what I said, it is impossible to remember wrongly", although I couldn't hear the answer of Master Eighth and Master Ninth I arrived, but the sound of the horse snorting from time to time was getting closer and closer, and I shrank back subconsciously.
"This is Old Shisan's Zhuangzi, I heard from Old Fourteen before, but it's the first time I've come here today." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, as clear as my voice. It's the same in my ears, and I feel cold in my heart. Even if Jiu Ye's voice sounds in the hot summer, I will also be cold...
I can't help but think in my heart, for these princes, if I get in their way, I'm afraid they will all strike at me to get rid of me, but the first one to attack must be Master Jiu.Eighth Master, Fourteenth Master may still think about it, and he will probably do it without hesitation. From the first day we met, it seems that the word "enemy" has been engraved on each other's foreheads , I never liked him, and neither did he...
A pair of dark and indifferent eyes suddenly flashed into my mind, what if it was him... I couldn't help but shiver slightly, closed my eyes, and pushed back the thought that would only cause me pain for no reason.
"Let's just go in like this. I don't know if it's convenient." Ba Ye's gentle voice sounded, I slowly turned my head slightly, and looking from the top down, Ba Ye and the others were already stationed at the entrance of Zhuangzi. The entourage behind them was about 60 to [-] meters away from them. I don't want people to hear what they said, but they are very close to me, just below the slope of the hill where I am.
Yinxiang's Zhuangzi is small, and there are not many servants. I don't know what the concierge is doing now. Thinking about it, I didn't see him when I came out just now... "What's the inconvenience, we are willing to enter his Zhuangzi, it's still a compliment to him, a criminal minister who has just been released, if he hadn't been delayed by something today, and he missed the post and couldn't rest, I wouldn't be willing to come." Tenth Master said carelessly.
I couldn't help frowning, complaining about the old saying that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. This idiot is really outspoken. If I had been...a sudden stagnation in my heart, yes, if this was... But now it’s not what it used to be, he is still the emperor, and I’m just a nameless little girl, a burst of bitterness arises, it turns out that if a person loses the word title, he will lose so much...
"Old Ten" Eighth Master scolded him lightly, "Don't be full of beards, the emperor has already decreed to forgive Thirteenth Brother's mistakes, what are you talking about?" "Humph", Tenth Master said indifferently He snorted, "Yeah, his fate is good, someone will help him to bear it, who let him marry a good wife, if he..." "Stop it", Eighth Master suddenly growled, I I was taken aback, I rarely heard Ba Ye get angry, except that time Shi Ye was silent for a while, only a couple of uncontrollable heavy panting wafted over with the wind.
"Okay, okay, myna, old ten, let's stop standing at the door and eat the wind. Now that we're here, let's talk in the room if you have anything to say." Jiu Ye smoothed things over, paused, and then said , "The slaves here really don't know anything, the men have been standing here for so long, and no one has come out to promise, there will be no one...".
"No," Master Shi replied, "Isn't Baosheng saying back and forth, that boy Yinxiang has been running this way recently, I reckon he and the fourth child are also paying attention to the green camp, fortunately there are us there People, they..." I pricked up my ears, Green Camp, isn't that just... "Okay" Eighth Master interrupted him lightly, his voice has returned to his usual gentleness, "Give someone to go in and have a look, today I have been walking for a long time, and the weather is freezing. If I don’t rest, people can bear it, but horses can’t bear it anymore.”
"Success" Master Shi agreed, and turned around to call for someone, but there was another neighing sound not far away. I was happy but worried. It should be Yinxiang, but now I see Master Shi Attitude, I don’t know what will happen after a while, not to mention there is an unknown me...
While my thoughts were spinning, I quietly poked my head out. Now everyone's attention should be on the door, and they shouldn't pay attention to this place.Seeing that Yinxiang and his group were approaching the gate of the manor, it was obvious that Yinxiang had seen Eighth Master and the others, so he accelerated his horse forward, and after a while, he had arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, "咴咴", stepped off the horse and neighed for a while, and then After taking two steps forward, Yinxiang laughed loudly, "What day is it today, to have myna, ninth, and tenth brothers come here together?"
Eighth Master chuckled twice, "Your Thirteenth Brother will welcome you." Yinxiang had already dismounted from his horse, and a thousand sons were beaten down. Eighth Master also dismounted already, and stretched out his hand to help. Yinxiang straightened up beside him and said with a smile, "Look. You said, you can’t even invite me here.” After finishing speaking, I turned around to salute Master Jiu and Master Jiu, but Master Jiu grabbed me, “Okay, let’s stop being so polite.” I slightly Startled, this is the first time I've seen the smile on Master Jiu's face.
"Thirteenth brother, you look pretty good." The tenth master stood aside fiercely and said with a grin, Yin Xiang turned his head and smiled, "The tenth brother's complexion is good", "Hmph, I can't compare with you , Old Thirteen, you have been raised solidly for three years, and you don’t have to worry about it, unlike us, who have worked hard for less than a year, serving the emperor.” Master Shi squinted at Yinxiang, curled his lips Son.
I couldn't help clenching my fists tightly, this guy... Yinxiang didn't seem to understand anything, he laughed, "It's saying, Brother Ten, you must have worked hard these years, but it's biased towards me, brother." It’s done, it’s done, if there is any order in the future, it’s okay to be a younger brother.”
"Haha..." The four brothers raised their heads and laughed loudly, and the old ten also stepped forward and patted Yinxiang on the shoulder, watching them talking and laughing, having a great time together, but I felt a helpless exhaustion in my heart, maybe It's because I'm too cowardly, always pretending not to know that Yinxiang, like them, will also be scheming and ruthless, as if that won't destroy the only holy place in my heart.
Yinxiang turned his head and told Qin Shun'er who came with him to go in quickly to clean up and prepare to welcome the distinguished guests. Taking advantage of Ba Ye and the others not paying attention, Yin Xiang gave a wink, Qin Shun'er nodded knowingly, turned around and hurried to Zhuangzi Running away, I knew in my heart that Yin Xiang must have asked him to find me.I couldn't help but smile wryly, this time it's alright, it would be fine if Baye and the others rested and left, otherwise, it seems that I have to be forced to do snow survival training.
"Brother, please come this way." Yinxiang smiled and stretched out his hand, Master Ba nodded, followed Yinxiang to the village, Master Jiu and Master Ten followed, and there were people behind him to take care of the horses. "I heard that myna went to Yuncheng. It seems that there is something wrong with the grain depot over there," Yinxiang asked casually.
Ba Ye smiled slightly, "It's okay. There's been a lot of snow this year, and many houses have been crushed. The cost of food harvest is not good. When there are more hungry people, the food distribution will be chaotic. The emperor asked me to go and have a look. Even if the county magistrate there still has some brains, he didn’t cause any serious trouble.”
"It seems that the county magistrate of Yuncheng is Zhu Tianci. He has been in Kangxi for 40 years. He is a very knowledgeable person, and he looks very upright. Why did he become a county magistrate in these years?" Yinxiang said with a smile as he walked, eight The master sighed softly, "This person is too upright, that's the result, but he is really a bit inflexible", "Okay, okay, brothers haven't seen each other for so long, so don't say these things that make people feel smeared , Old Shisan, do you have something good to entertain my brother here," Master Shi said with a big grin.
"Today I missed the hour with Brother Ninth to welcome my starling back, and now I am competing with my hungry stomach", Yinxiang laughed, "I dare not say good things, but there are still some wild game. Brother Ten will try it later." Ba Ye smiled and said, "Old Ninth is the same as you, and I haven't seen him screaming." Shi Ye grinned, "That's right, Ninth Brother is a god, two glasses of water can last a day, we don't have that It's my job."
Everyone laughed and watched them pass by me. I held my breath and suddenly rushed out. Yinxiang and the others stopped in their tracks. become. "Slave pays respects to the Lord", he slapped his hands and feet hard.
"Okay, where did you go just now, you bastard, and you just showed your face now", Yin Xiang scolded with a smile, Zhang Cheng smiled and bowed, "Yes, if you go back to the master, there are not enough people just now, and the slaves helped you make two Bind firewood, and then..." He continued to talk, Yinxiang waved his hand and gestured behind him, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, you can help greet them quickly, and just take them to rest", and right after finishing speaking Ba Ye and the others smiled and said, "Let's go."
Zhang Cheng responded but didn't move, he stretched his head and brain to look back, and then looked towards me, Yinxiang was startled, and stopped, Baye and the others also stopped, I was so busy that I retracted my head, The people huddled together tightly, "What are you doing, why don't you go?" Yinxiang asked in a low voice, with two points of dissatisfaction in his tone, Zhang Cheng hurriedly replied, "Ah, no, master, this slave is here Go, just now Miss Xiaotaoer told the slave that Miss Ning came out to welcome you, didn't you see?"...
A strange atmosphere of silence surrounded the entrance of the villa. For a while, the surroundings seemed to be so quiet that I could not even hear the sound of breathing. I tightly grasped my collar and closed my eyes tightly... "Oh, I didn't see it... It's nothing, just go over there and have a look, if you meet her, just ask her to come back," Yinxiang said casually.
Zhang Cheng over there was probably a little dazed, and he said later, "Ah, yes, the servant knows", and then there was a crunching sound of stepping on the snow, and he greeted, "The old ones over there, please talk to the younger one." Come, the stable is over here."
After a burst of busy voices passed, the surroundings became quiet again. I held my breath and didn't dare to move around. I couldn't hear whether Yinxiang and the others had gone in amidst the busy voices, and I didn't dare to stretch my head to look. I was nervous, and the air outside was too cold. I wanted to cough, so I stretched out my hand to cover it, only to realize that my hand was shaking badly.
"Hmph, old thirteen, you have a lot of good luck, there is actually a sweet beauty hidden in this wilderness, ah", Master Shi said with a smile.Yinxiang laughed, "Brother Ten, you are joking, she is just a girl, and the word "beauty" is not really considered." "The one who misses you so much, isn't it just an ordinary girl?" Elder Brother Shi said in a strange voice, and Yinxiang smiled, "It's okay, it's also considered hot and cold...then let's go in."
I couldn't help but flatten my mouth, knowing that I am not a beauty, and I also know Yinxiang's original intention, but hearing what he said, I still feel a little bit upset, but I don't know what their expressions are now... "Old Thirteen, don't be too polite, please come out later and let the brothers open their eyes, ah..." Master Shi still refused to let go.
"That's enough, that's enough," the eighth master who had been silent all this time reprimanded lightly, "You girl, you insist on chasing after her, what's the reason for that, you don't look like an older brother at all." The ninth master on the side also chimed in and said, "That's right, your own girl can't see it, and you have to look at others... Okay, let's go in quickly, my feet are freezing, the snow is too deep, and these suede boots can't keep out the cold ".
"Haha" Yinxiang smiled, "I guess the brazier has been raised early, so go in quickly, I have asked the servants to prepare wine just now, and our brothers are going to have a drink, firstly, we haven't had a good time together for a long time, secondly It's all time to cleanse my starlings, please"...
"Hehe, then I won't be polite...Old Ten, let's go." Ba Ye chuckled twice, and there was a burst of footsteps.Master Shi laughed and said as he walked, "It's not that I'm interested in beauties, I just think Thirteenth Brother has such high eyesight, and I just want to know who else can compare to him... Heh heh, no wonder everyone likes you." It is said that we men are ruthless, so what if we died for him"...
"Old ten"!There was a sound of footsteps, and it was Lord Ninth who stopped shouting. I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard Master Ten say repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, I get it, isn't this just talking casually, since the thirteenth brother If you don't want it, then you can avoid it, I guess you will see it sooner or later... Hey, what good wine do you have here, don't be stingy, take it out and give it to my brother to taste, ah", the voice went farther and farther, only Faintly listened to Yin Xiang's answer.
"Huh..." When the surrounding area finally quieted down, I let out a long breath. It seemed that every time I met Ba Ye and the others, there would be no good things. The serious ones would kill me, and the light ones... I looked around and smiled wryly. , is here to suffer from the cold.
At this time, my son can't go back to the villa no matter what. Although Emperor Kangxi acquiesced, as long as it is not mentioned on the table, if the eighth master and the others want to make trouble, it will be difficult for Yinxiang, and by the way, the fourth master will be brought down, then I am really a hand Get some evidence.
Leaning on the edge of the stone and thinking about it, even if you sneak back through the back door, the stable is right there, and there are a lot of people there, which is obviously not a good idea.Besides, this Zhuangzi is small, and if he meets a master who is as unscrupulous as Master Shi, he can't guarantee that he will really go to the backyard to see that girl Ning.
After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when I went out for a walk the day before yesterday, I saw a small house not far away. I asked the people below and found out that it was a hunting house. Although it was on the side of the official road, no one usually went there. There may not be a brazier there. It's better than being frozen in this wasteland.
What's more, Yinxiang and Xiaotao'er knew that I couldn't go far outside, so they would definitely send someone to look for me... Having made up my mind, I poked my head out and saw that there were two guards standing guard in front of Zhuangzi, obviously I couldn't get off. I went, there was no way, it seemed that I could only slide down the dirt slope behind.
I stood up quietly, and couldn't help but gasp in a "hissy" breath. I squatted my legs for too long, and the moment I stood up, the tingling feeling was like a needle prick, and I bit it tightly. Lips, not daring to make a sound, just moved back in small steps.
After finally reaching the back of the small hill, the blood circulation in my legs returned to normal. I probed my brain to check it out. Fortunately, the place behind is secluded. Although the mountain leans against the courtyard wall, there is still a distance from the back door. .
I tried my best to find a gentle place, and rubbed down with the dead branches. It was really impossible to do it quietly, so I had to try my best to be careful and pray for the blessings of gods and Buddhas.After tossing carefully for about ten minutes, I finally reached the bottom of the hillside. I checked that there was no one around, so I quickly lifted my cloak and strode towards the hut.
"Huchi, Huchi" I panted heavily, thinking about the last time I ran wild in the snow like this, or the time I went to kick the little bear, I couldn't help but think, what happened to the little bear, the mother is gone, I don't know Can it grow smoothly.
After thinking about it again, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Even if it grows up smoothly, I never want to see it again. The stimulation given to me by its mother is enough for me to recall for a lifetime. Think about it, such a big bear standing in front of you , red eyes, grubby teeth, drooling... while thinking wildly, while advancing courageously, seeing the hut is approaching...
With a "squeak", I gently pushed the wooden door open, but fortunately it was not locked. Presumably there are no people around here, and there is nothing to fear of losing this house.The room is a bit damp and cold, but there is firewood, but after thinking about it, forget it, even if there is flint, it would be bad if people see smoke rising.
The room is very simple, with some hunting gear, firewood, fodder and so on. There is a wooden pier by the window, with some straw underneath, which can also be used as a chair.I left in a hurry just now, and I felt thirsty. I looked around, and there seemed to be no water tank, but there was a thick white porcelain bowl on the partition.
Then get up and see if there is some soil in it, the snow water rinse should work, but I don’t know if I will have diarrhea if I drink snow water, I was thinking... "咴..." There was a horse neighing suddenly, I With a shake of his hand, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was standing by the side of the hay pile and did not make any noise.
I just felt that my throat was burning so badly at this moment, I squatted down quietly, and slowly leaned towards the window, what happened today, will Qunying meet?Who could it be...it should not be from Ba Ye and the others, unless they know how to divination, they can send someone here to find me.Could it be someone Yinxiang sent out to look for me, but listen carefully, there are quite a few people... He probably wouldn't come to me in such a big way.
I was a little hesitant, but I didn't dare to poke my head out to look, so I squatted against the straw pile under the window, and my calf inevitably felt sore again. The work is nothing more than that, now I only hope that they are passing by and won't want to enter the house, otherwise, even if they are strangers, they will be a big trouble in this wilderness.
The voice is getting closer and closer, and it is estimated that it is only ten meters away from the hut, "Master, the front is almost there. The servant came last time. I remember passing this room, and it is not far away." A clear male voice came, I was taken aback for a moment, the voice was familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere recently, where was it... Turning my head to think about it, I suddenly felt an itchy nose, and a thin straw swept over me at some point.
A sour heat rushed straight to the top of my head, and before I could cover it with my hands, "Sneeze", an extremely loud sneeze came out, and I covered my nose and mouth with my hands in a hurry. I was stunned for a while, and just lost my mind, there was a "bang", the wooden door had been kicked open, and several angry shouts of "who is here?" the door.
Just about to struggle to stand up and speak, the bright light had already waved towards me, I hugged my head subconsciously, and screamed "No"..."Stop", a loud shout came from outside the room, and I Startled, I stopped screaming, this voice... I felt relieved.
The sound of footsteps, "You all go out", the voice came into my ears again, "Master, this...", the guards hesitated, "Go out", the cold voice said lightly, a burst of footsteps sounded quickly, The people in the room were gone in an instant.
I squatted there with my head in my arms, my heartbeat seemed to be like a heavy hammer, pounding on my chest... Footsteps sounded beside me, and a pair of black soap boots stopped on my right side, with some stains on them. The water stains, presumably because the snow melted when he walked in, he has always been obsessed with cleanliness, unlike Shisan, he doesn't care about the mud in the water...
Why is he here, or why am I here? These questions seem to be unimportant. The most real existence.
For a while I didn't move, and he didn't move, just stuck here like this, after a while, the feeling of numbness in my legs came up again, I grinned and rubbed my legs, and there was a chuckle on top of my head, I was startled, this laughter... ...Suddenly there was a strong force, and I was pulled up from the ground. I couldn't help but "Ouch", and my body tilted.
A pair of slender hands came to help me, I subconsciously helped, then let go, staggered back to the side, looked up, Si Ye was standing in front of me with his back straight, his face was as clear as ever , the thin lips were tightly pursed, but the bottom of the eyes that were as deep as a deep pool were still clear, and the brows that were slightly frowned because of my waving hand were softened because of the scars on my face.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, I tried to smile, but although I tried my best to order myself to move my face, I still felt that my face was as stiff as if it had been frozen. "Let me see", the fourth master said in a low voice, "Ah" I was taken aback, subconsciously covered the wound with my hand, hurriedly tugged at the corner of my mouth, and said with a forced smile, "It's nothing, it's already Alright..." Fourth Master narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed again, "Really" I muttered.
It's like this every time, if the fourth master speaks well, if he keeps silent, the inexplicable pressure will make people feel breathless...Seeing that he doesn't speak, but just stares at me, I force Suppressing my heartbeat, I just wanted to find something to say casually. I licked my dry lips, not daring to look at him again. I lowered my head and said softly, "Well, the doctor is very good, and the medicine he prescribed is also very effective. It's ancestral...um...'.
I cleared my throat, "By the way, you go back and help me, thank you Fujin. Fortunately, the doctor came in time that day, otherwise I really couldn't see the face. According to the people below, the doctor came here on horseback with sweat on his face Yes, but you didn't allow me to thank you afterwards." I smiled dryly again, "If you come late, don't take his life." Fourth Master said flatly.
I shivered slightly, and couldn't help raising my head to look at him. It turned out that I guessed right, it was him... "That day, it was also thanks to you", Fourth Master said in a hoarse voice, my heart felt hot, and I smiled slightly I smiled, "It's good that the child is fine", Fourth Master looked at my smile, and his face became softer and softer.
The fourth master took two steps forward, stretched out his hand gently, I stared blankly at his slender fingers, and smiled wryly in my heart, the brothers are all the same persistence, they will never give up until they reach their goals, I slowly let go With his hand, he turned his face, revealing a side face with some scars.
Fourth Master's nails are neatly trimmed. I lowered my eyes to see the fingertips getting closer and closer, and found him trembling slightly. My heart trembled. through the pores to my face...
"Ah, the elder guards are from the fourth master's mansion, right? The younger guards are from the thirteenth master's mansion. You are..." Qin Shun'er's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the fourth master's hand froze. My heart was relieved, but I was also a little bit lost.
I didn't dare to look at Si Ye's face, so I just turned my head down and watched Si Ye's arms slowly retracted and hung by his side, his fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were exposed... My eye sockets were a little hot and humid, but my heart was just... I can sigh in a low voice, until today I finally understand that the distance of one millimeter turns out to be so far away...
"Kang Dang, Bang Dang" the carriage was driving on the official road at a constant speed, this place was already far away from the Bieyuan, and the outline of the capital city was looming in the mist. "Thank you", I reached out to take the hand stove with new carbon, and said softly to Xiao Taoer, Xiao Taoer pursed her lips and smiled, and adjusted the position of the hand stove for me.
Water sandalwood was added to the stove, and a warm fragrance slowly surrounded me, but this warmth couldn't reach my heart anyway... The curtains were tightly covered, and the compartment was a little dark. It's more for secrecy.
Ever since I was secretly sent back from the summer resort that year, because of the darkness and panic and despair for more than ten days, I was particularly sensitive to the dark carriage space, and I could even say that there was a faint fear in my heart, but I never said this. I told anyone, and Yinxiang did the same.Since then, the escape, hiding and confinement have given me no chance to experience it again, but today... the confusion at that time gradually penetrated into my heart, and I held the hand stove tightly.
"I said, Liu Si'er, can you hurry up?" Qin Shun'er's voice came from outside the carriage, and my mood couldn't help drifting to just now...
I stood there with my head down in a daze, just staring at the lapel of the fourth master's clothes, but outside the window came the sound of Qin Shun'er getting close to someone and probing for a relationship.After a while, seeing the soap boots turn around, Fourth Master turned around and walked out the door, I quietly raised my eyes to look at his back, and let out a soft breath, as if I had been stalked from just now The heart that was tightly bound by the rope, only now feels free...
When the fourth master arrived at the door, he suddenly turned his head and saw my relieved expression, he couldn't help frowning slightly, I was startled, and I was so busy that I put on a respectful expression again, blessing Fushen Gong silently Send him out with all manners...
A faint amused flashed across his eyes, Fourth Master's thin lips moved, "I..." After a pause, before the words came out, Fourth Master shook his head slightly, turned around resolutely and went out, I stared blankly Looking at his back, what on earth is he trying to say...
And Qin Shun'er was obviously taken aback by Fourth Master's appearance, after a moment of silence outside, he hurriedly asked for peace, and Fourth Master responded lightly.Qin Shun'er paused, then suddenly lowered her voice and said something, I was taken aback, "You guys go over there to prepare first, then leave now" Fourth Master ordered the guards.
Seeing that he sent the guards away, I vaguely guessed what the secret was. I subconsciously pricked up my ears and leaned forward slightly to listen, but I only heard a faint sentence of green camp, take care of something... I was startled, and I was thinking about it. Should I lean closer to the door and listen more carefully? There was a pause from outside, and I straightened up abruptly. The wooden door was gently pushed open. Qin Shun'er poked his head in, saw me, smiled, and walked in.
"Master, shall we go now?" A guard asked respectfully from the door, "Well" the fourth master's voice paused, "Let's go", the horse's hooves sounded, and the servants led the horse over, and there was a burst of rubbing clothes The sound, after a while... "Drive" Fourth Master gave a loud shout, and the sound of horseshoes sounded like a torrential rain, and they went away in an instant.
Qin Shun'er came over cautiously at this time, saying that Yinxiang asked him to take me away from here and return to Beijing quickly, and he would hold them back with Ba Ye.Seeing the anxious look on his face, I didn't ask in detail, but just nodded. He told me to wait here for a while, and then he rushed out the door.
When he brought the carriage over, I found Xiao Taoer was already inside as soon as I got in the carriage. I couldn't help but smile slightly. Yinxiang's carefulness warmed my heart... The carriage creaked and began to move forward slowly. further and further.
Suddenly I feel that these years, the relationship between my fourth master and I is like a cable car running up and down, passing by from time to time, we can always see each other clearly when we are far away, and we can never get close when we are close. Whenever our eyes meet, it means Letting go... "Here" Xiao Tao'er stuffed a hand stove, I looked down and saw that it was the one that Yinxiang used every day.
Startled, I found that Xiao Taoer was pursing her lips and snickering, then pouted at the hand stove in my hand, and looked in the direction, only to find a small piece of paper tucked in the cotton sleeve.I took it out and took a look, and Yinxiang wrote in tall and straight and somewhat scrawled characters, "Let's hug it first today." I couldn't help but sighed in a low voice, squeezed the warmth tightly, and closed my eyes...
"Master, we'll be in the capital soon." Qin Shun'er leaned close to the car window and said, I was taken aback, shook my head, said in a low voice "Got it", then turned around and said to Xiao Tao'er, "It's almost two hours, My back hurts from sitting."Xiao Tao'er chuckled, "Just now I saw that you kept your eyes closed, did you fall asleep?" "Ah, yes." I smiled and didn't want to say anything more.
There are more and more human voices outside, and the cries of chickens, ducks and livestock are mixed in, and it is messy, but I like to hear it very much. I used to like to be quiet, but now I find that this kind of noise makes people feel alive...
It is estimated that there are quite a few food stalls nearby. In the past, it was basically a pole. The aroma of various foods floated in through the thick curtain. I shrugged my nose, "It smells like tea soup", Xiaotao The son smiled "puchi", "does it smell so fragrant? Then someone bought a servant tomorrow, but I don't know if it will be clean or not."
I smiled, "The best tea soup I've ever eaten is by the Daming Lake in Jinan Prefecture." Thinking back to when He Yinxiang, who was disguised as a man, went to temple fairs, shot arrows, and joined in the fun. It was so... Xiao Taoer But she didn't think too much about it. Seeing that I was happy, she also became excited and said that she would ask someone to buy it tomorrow...
The carriage slowly surged towards the city gate as more and more people flowed. Suddenly, there was commotion outside. I only felt that the carriage turned around and stopped after taking two steps forward. Xiao Taoer and I looked at each other in dismay. I heard a sound of hoofbeats coming from behind us...
Before I could think about it, the horse neighed and stopped near the carriage. My heart tightened, and I heard a loud laugh, "Butler Qin, where are you going in such a hurry?"...
(End of this chapter)
The group of people got closer and closer, and even the sound of horseshoes stepping on the snow could be clearly heard, and their appearance became more and more clear. The mink fur felt hat, the sky blue cloak, the fair face, and the corners of the mouth seemed to be always With a kind smile, although he is not as bookish as the third elder brother, he can be called gentle and elegant—the eighth elder brother Yinhu.
I lightly covered my mouth with my hand, and suddenly felt like coughing, so I could only hold it back now. I made some calculations in my heart, if I go on now, the horse team is not very close to me, but in case A sharp-eyed person saw it, but it was troublesome, not to mention they didn't know why they came, whether they would stay...
Looking to both sides, except for the bluestone sitting in front of me, there is really no shelter, even some dry tree branches. I have no choice but to move my body slowly and squat quietly behind the bluestone. If you don't look up carefully, you probably won't find it.
"Haha" came a burst of laughter, which was very clear in this empty snow field, I couldn't help but smile wryly, I haven't heard such unscrupulous laughter from Master Shi for a long time, although it can't be called nostalgia, but I can still faintly Bring back some past memories.
"Brother, Brother Ninth," Master Shi's rough voice rang again, "The Zhuangzi ahead is coming soon, what I said, it is impossible to remember wrongly", although I couldn't hear the answer of Master Eighth and Master Ninth I arrived, but the sound of the horse snorting from time to time was getting closer and closer, and I shrank back subconsciously.
"This is Old Shisan's Zhuangzi, I heard from Old Fourteen before, but it's the first time I've come here today." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, as clear as my voice. It's the same in my ears, and I feel cold in my heart. Even if Jiu Ye's voice sounds in the hot summer, I will also be cold...
I can't help but think in my heart, for these princes, if I get in their way, I'm afraid they will all strike at me to get rid of me, but the first one to attack must be Master Jiu.Eighth Master, Fourteenth Master may still think about it, and he will probably do it without hesitation. From the first day we met, it seems that the word "enemy" has been engraved on each other's foreheads , I never liked him, and neither did he...
A pair of dark and indifferent eyes suddenly flashed into my mind, what if it was him... I couldn't help but shiver slightly, closed my eyes, and pushed back the thought that would only cause me pain for no reason.
"Let's just go in like this. I don't know if it's convenient." Ba Ye's gentle voice sounded, I slowly turned my head slightly, and looking from the top down, Ba Ye and the others were already stationed at the entrance of Zhuangzi. The entourage behind them was about 60 to [-] meters away from them. I don't want people to hear what they said, but they are very close to me, just below the slope of the hill where I am.
Yinxiang's Zhuangzi is small, and there are not many servants. I don't know what the concierge is doing now. Thinking about it, I didn't see him when I came out just now... "What's the inconvenience, we are willing to enter his Zhuangzi, it's still a compliment to him, a criminal minister who has just been released, if he hadn't been delayed by something today, and he missed the post and couldn't rest, I wouldn't be willing to come." Tenth Master said carelessly.
I couldn't help frowning, complaining about the old saying that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. This idiot is really outspoken. If I had been...a sudden stagnation in my heart, yes, if this was... But now it’s not what it used to be, he is still the emperor, and I’m just a nameless little girl, a burst of bitterness arises, it turns out that if a person loses the word title, he will lose so much...
"Old Ten" Eighth Master scolded him lightly, "Don't be full of beards, the emperor has already decreed to forgive Thirteenth Brother's mistakes, what are you talking about?" "Humph", Tenth Master said indifferently He snorted, "Yeah, his fate is good, someone will help him to bear it, who let him marry a good wife, if he..." "Stop it", Eighth Master suddenly growled, I I was taken aback, I rarely heard Ba Ye get angry, except that time Shi Ye was silent for a while, only a couple of uncontrollable heavy panting wafted over with the wind.
"Okay, okay, myna, old ten, let's stop standing at the door and eat the wind. Now that we're here, let's talk in the room if you have anything to say." Jiu Ye smoothed things over, paused, and then said , "The slaves here really don't know anything, the men have been standing here for so long, and no one has come out to promise, there will be no one...".
"No," Master Shi replied, "Isn't Baosheng saying back and forth, that boy Yinxiang has been running this way recently, I reckon he and the fourth child are also paying attention to the green camp, fortunately there are us there People, they..." I pricked up my ears, Green Camp, isn't that just... "Okay" Eighth Master interrupted him lightly, his voice has returned to his usual gentleness, "Give someone to go in and have a look, today I have been walking for a long time, and the weather is freezing. If I don’t rest, people can bear it, but horses can’t bear it anymore.”
"Success" Master Shi agreed, and turned around to call for someone, but there was another neighing sound not far away. I was happy but worried. It should be Yinxiang, but now I see Master Shi Attitude, I don’t know what will happen after a while, not to mention there is an unknown me...
While my thoughts were spinning, I quietly poked my head out. Now everyone's attention should be on the door, and they shouldn't pay attention to this place.Seeing that Yinxiang and his group were approaching the gate of the manor, it was obvious that Yinxiang had seen Eighth Master and the others, so he accelerated his horse forward, and after a while, he had arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, "咴咴", stepped off the horse and neighed for a while, and then After taking two steps forward, Yinxiang laughed loudly, "What day is it today, to have myna, ninth, and tenth brothers come here together?"
Eighth Master chuckled twice, "Your Thirteenth Brother will welcome you." Yinxiang had already dismounted from his horse, and a thousand sons were beaten down. Eighth Master also dismounted already, and stretched out his hand to help. Yinxiang straightened up beside him and said with a smile, "Look. You said, you can’t even invite me here.” After finishing speaking, I turned around to salute Master Jiu and Master Jiu, but Master Jiu grabbed me, “Okay, let’s stop being so polite.” I slightly Startled, this is the first time I've seen the smile on Master Jiu's face.
"Thirteenth brother, you look pretty good." The tenth master stood aside fiercely and said with a grin, Yin Xiang turned his head and smiled, "The tenth brother's complexion is good", "Hmph, I can't compare with you , Old Thirteen, you have been raised solidly for three years, and you don’t have to worry about it, unlike us, who have worked hard for less than a year, serving the emperor.” Master Shi squinted at Yinxiang, curled his lips Son.
I couldn't help clenching my fists tightly, this guy... Yinxiang didn't seem to understand anything, he laughed, "It's saying, Brother Ten, you must have worked hard these years, but it's biased towards me, brother." It’s done, it’s done, if there is any order in the future, it’s okay to be a younger brother.”
"Haha..." The four brothers raised their heads and laughed loudly, and the old ten also stepped forward and patted Yinxiang on the shoulder, watching them talking and laughing, having a great time together, but I felt a helpless exhaustion in my heart, maybe It's because I'm too cowardly, always pretending not to know that Yinxiang, like them, will also be scheming and ruthless, as if that won't destroy the only holy place in my heart.
Yinxiang turned his head and told Qin Shun'er who came with him to go in quickly to clean up and prepare to welcome the distinguished guests. Taking advantage of Ba Ye and the others not paying attention, Yin Xiang gave a wink, Qin Shun'er nodded knowingly, turned around and hurried to Zhuangzi Running away, I knew in my heart that Yin Xiang must have asked him to find me.I couldn't help but smile wryly, this time it's alright, it would be fine if Baye and the others rested and left, otherwise, it seems that I have to be forced to do snow survival training.
"Brother, please come this way." Yinxiang smiled and stretched out his hand, Master Ba nodded, followed Yinxiang to the village, Master Jiu and Master Ten followed, and there were people behind him to take care of the horses. "I heard that myna went to Yuncheng. It seems that there is something wrong with the grain depot over there," Yinxiang asked casually.
Ba Ye smiled slightly, "It's okay. There's been a lot of snow this year, and many houses have been crushed. The cost of food harvest is not good. When there are more hungry people, the food distribution will be chaotic. The emperor asked me to go and have a look. Even if the county magistrate there still has some brains, he didn’t cause any serious trouble.”
"It seems that the county magistrate of Yuncheng is Zhu Tianci. He has been in Kangxi for 40 years. He is a very knowledgeable person, and he looks very upright. Why did he become a county magistrate in these years?" Yinxiang said with a smile as he walked, eight The master sighed softly, "This person is too upright, that's the result, but he is really a bit inflexible", "Okay, okay, brothers haven't seen each other for so long, so don't say these things that make people feel smeared , Old Shisan, do you have something good to entertain my brother here," Master Shi said with a big grin.
"Today I missed the hour with Brother Ninth to welcome my starling back, and now I am competing with my hungry stomach", Yinxiang laughed, "I dare not say good things, but there are still some wild game. Brother Ten will try it later." Ba Ye smiled and said, "Old Ninth is the same as you, and I haven't seen him screaming." Shi Ye grinned, "That's right, Ninth Brother is a god, two glasses of water can last a day, we don't have that It's my job."
Everyone laughed and watched them pass by me. I held my breath and suddenly rushed out. Yinxiang and the others stopped in their tracks. become. "Slave pays respects to the Lord", he slapped his hands and feet hard.
"Okay, where did you go just now, you bastard, and you just showed your face now", Yin Xiang scolded with a smile, Zhang Cheng smiled and bowed, "Yes, if you go back to the master, there are not enough people just now, and the slaves helped you make two Bind firewood, and then..." He continued to talk, Yinxiang waved his hand and gestured behind him, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, you can help greet them quickly, and just take them to rest", and right after finishing speaking Ba Ye and the others smiled and said, "Let's go."
Zhang Cheng responded but didn't move, he stretched his head and brain to look back, and then looked towards me, Yinxiang was startled, and stopped, Baye and the others also stopped, I was so busy that I retracted my head, The people huddled together tightly, "What are you doing, why don't you go?" Yinxiang asked in a low voice, with two points of dissatisfaction in his tone, Zhang Cheng hurriedly replied, "Ah, no, master, this slave is here Go, just now Miss Xiaotaoer told the slave that Miss Ning came out to welcome you, didn't you see?"...
A strange atmosphere of silence surrounded the entrance of the villa. For a while, the surroundings seemed to be so quiet that I could not even hear the sound of breathing. I tightly grasped my collar and closed my eyes tightly... "Oh, I didn't see it... It's nothing, just go over there and have a look, if you meet her, just ask her to come back," Yinxiang said casually.
Zhang Cheng over there was probably a little dazed, and he said later, "Ah, yes, the servant knows", and then there was a crunching sound of stepping on the snow, and he greeted, "The old ones over there, please talk to the younger one." Come, the stable is over here."
After a burst of busy voices passed, the surroundings became quiet again. I held my breath and didn't dare to move around. I couldn't hear whether Yinxiang and the others had gone in amidst the busy voices, and I didn't dare to stretch my head to look. I was nervous, and the air outside was too cold. I wanted to cough, so I stretched out my hand to cover it, only to realize that my hand was shaking badly.
"Hmph, old thirteen, you have a lot of good luck, there is actually a sweet beauty hidden in this wilderness, ah", Master Shi said with a smile.Yinxiang laughed, "Brother Ten, you are joking, she is just a girl, and the word "beauty" is not really considered." "The one who misses you so much, isn't it just an ordinary girl?" Elder Brother Shi said in a strange voice, and Yinxiang smiled, "It's okay, it's also considered hot and cold...then let's go in."
I couldn't help but flatten my mouth, knowing that I am not a beauty, and I also know Yinxiang's original intention, but hearing what he said, I still feel a little bit upset, but I don't know what their expressions are now... "Old Thirteen, don't be too polite, please come out later and let the brothers open their eyes, ah..." Master Shi still refused to let go.
"That's enough, that's enough," the eighth master who had been silent all this time reprimanded lightly, "You girl, you insist on chasing after her, what's the reason for that, you don't look like an older brother at all." The ninth master on the side also chimed in and said, "That's right, your own girl can't see it, and you have to look at others... Okay, let's go in quickly, my feet are freezing, the snow is too deep, and these suede boots can't keep out the cold ".
"Haha" Yinxiang smiled, "I guess the brazier has been raised early, so go in quickly, I have asked the servants to prepare wine just now, and our brothers are going to have a drink, firstly, we haven't had a good time together for a long time, secondly It's all time to cleanse my starlings, please"...
"Hehe, then I won't be polite...Old Ten, let's go." Ba Ye chuckled twice, and there was a burst of footsteps.Master Shi laughed and said as he walked, "It's not that I'm interested in beauties, I just think Thirteenth Brother has such high eyesight, and I just want to know who else can compare to him... Heh heh, no wonder everyone likes you." It is said that we men are ruthless, so what if we died for him"...
"Old ten"!There was a sound of footsteps, and it was Lord Ninth who stopped shouting. I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard Master Ten say repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, I get it, isn't this just talking casually, since the thirteenth brother If you don't want it, then you can avoid it, I guess you will see it sooner or later... Hey, what good wine do you have here, don't be stingy, take it out and give it to my brother to taste, ah", the voice went farther and farther, only Faintly listened to Yin Xiang's answer.
"Huh..." When the surrounding area finally quieted down, I let out a long breath. It seemed that every time I met Ba Ye and the others, there would be no good things. The serious ones would kill me, and the light ones... I looked around and smiled wryly. , is here to suffer from the cold.
At this time, my son can't go back to the villa no matter what. Although Emperor Kangxi acquiesced, as long as it is not mentioned on the table, if the eighth master and the others want to make trouble, it will be difficult for Yinxiang, and by the way, the fourth master will be brought down, then I am really a hand Get some evidence.
Leaning on the edge of the stone and thinking about it, even if you sneak back through the back door, the stable is right there, and there are a lot of people there, which is obviously not a good idea.Besides, this Zhuangzi is small, and if he meets a master who is as unscrupulous as Master Shi, he can't guarantee that he will really go to the backyard to see that girl Ning.
After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when I went out for a walk the day before yesterday, I saw a small house not far away. I asked the people below and found out that it was a hunting house. Although it was on the side of the official road, no one usually went there. There may not be a brazier there. It's better than being frozen in this wasteland.
What's more, Yinxiang and Xiaotao'er knew that I couldn't go far outside, so they would definitely send someone to look for me... Having made up my mind, I poked my head out and saw that there were two guards standing guard in front of Zhuangzi, obviously I couldn't get off. I went, there was no way, it seemed that I could only slide down the dirt slope behind.
I stood up quietly, and couldn't help but gasp in a "hissy" breath. I squatted my legs for too long, and the moment I stood up, the tingling feeling was like a needle prick, and I bit it tightly. Lips, not daring to make a sound, just moved back in small steps.
After finally reaching the back of the small hill, the blood circulation in my legs returned to normal. I probed my brain to check it out. Fortunately, the place behind is secluded. Although the mountain leans against the courtyard wall, there is still a distance from the back door. .
I tried my best to find a gentle place, and rubbed down with the dead branches. It was really impossible to do it quietly, so I had to try my best to be careful and pray for the blessings of gods and Buddhas.After tossing carefully for about ten minutes, I finally reached the bottom of the hillside. I checked that there was no one around, so I quickly lifted my cloak and strode towards the hut.
"Huchi, Huchi" I panted heavily, thinking about the last time I ran wild in the snow like this, or the time I went to kick the little bear, I couldn't help but think, what happened to the little bear, the mother is gone, I don't know Can it grow smoothly.
After thinking about it again, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Even if it grows up smoothly, I never want to see it again. The stimulation given to me by its mother is enough for me to recall for a lifetime. Think about it, such a big bear standing in front of you , red eyes, grubby teeth, drooling... while thinking wildly, while advancing courageously, seeing the hut is approaching...
With a "squeak", I gently pushed the wooden door open, but fortunately it was not locked. Presumably there are no people around here, and there is nothing to fear of losing this house.The room is a bit damp and cold, but there is firewood, but after thinking about it, forget it, even if there is flint, it would be bad if people see smoke rising.
The room is very simple, with some hunting gear, firewood, fodder and so on. There is a wooden pier by the window, with some straw underneath, which can also be used as a chair.I left in a hurry just now, and I felt thirsty. I looked around, and there seemed to be no water tank, but there was a thick white porcelain bowl on the partition.
Then get up and see if there is some soil in it, the snow water rinse should work, but I don’t know if I will have diarrhea if I drink snow water, I was thinking... "咴..." There was a horse neighing suddenly, I With a shake of his hand, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was standing by the side of the hay pile and did not make any noise.
I just felt that my throat was burning so badly at this moment, I squatted down quietly, and slowly leaned towards the window, what happened today, will Qunying meet?Who could it be...it should not be from Ba Ye and the others, unless they know how to divination, they can send someone here to find me.Could it be someone Yinxiang sent out to look for me, but listen carefully, there are quite a few people... He probably wouldn't come to me in such a big way.
I was a little hesitant, but I didn't dare to poke my head out to look, so I squatted against the straw pile under the window, and my calf inevitably felt sore again. The work is nothing more than that, now I only hope that they are passing by and won't want to enter the house, otherwise, even if they are strangers, they will be a big trouble in this wilderness.
The voice is getting closer and closer, and it is estimated that it is only ten meters away from the hut, "Master, the front is almost there. The servant came last time. I remember passing this room, and it is not far away." A clear male voice came, I was taken aback for a moment, the voice was familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere recently, where was it... Turning my head to think about it, I suddenly felt an itchy nose, and a thin straw swept over me at some point.
A sour heat rushed straight to the top of my head, and before I could cover it with my hands, "Sneeze", an extremely loud sneeze came out, and I covered my nose and mouth with my hands in a hurry. I was stunned for a while, and just lost my mind, there was a "bang", the wooden door had been kicked open, and several angry shouts of "who is here?" the door.
Just about to struggle to stand up and speak, the bright light had already waved towards me, I hugged my head subconsciously, and screamed "No"..."Stop", a loud shout came from outside the room, and I Startled, I stopped screaming, this voice... I felt relieved.
The sound of footsteps, "You all go out", the voice came into my ears again, "Master, this...", the guards hesitated, "Go out", the cold voice said lightly, a burst of footsteps sounded quickly, The people in the room were gone in an instant.
I squatted there with my head in my arms, my heartbeat seemed to be like a heavy hammer, pounding on my chest... Footsteps sounded beside me, and a pair of black soap boots stopped on my right side, with some stains on them. The water stains, presumably because the snow melted when he walked in, he has always been obsessed with cleanliness, unlike Shisan, he doesn't care about the mud in the water...
Why is he here, or why am I here? These questions seem to be unimportant. The most real existence.
For a while I didn't move, and he didn't move, just stuck here like this, after a while, the feeling of numbness in my legs came up again, I grinned and rubbed my legs, and there was a chuckle on top of my head, I was startled, this laughter... ...Suddenly there was a strong force, and I was pulled up from the ground. I couldn't help but "Ouch", and my body tilted.
A pair of slender hands came to help me, I subconsciously helped, then let go, staggered back to the side, looked up, Si Ye was standing in front of me with his back straight, his face was as clear as ever , the thin lips were tightly pursed, but the bottom of the eyes that were as deep as a deep pool were still clear, and the brows that were slightly frowned because of my waving hand were softened because of the scars on my face.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, I tried to smile, but although I tried my best to order myself to move my face, I still felt that my face was as stiff as if it had been frozen. "Let me see", the fourth master said in a low voice, "Ah" I was taken aback, subconsciously covered the wound with my hand, hurriedly tugged at the corner of my mouth, and said with a forced smile, "It's nothing, it's already Alright..." Fourth Master narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed again, "Really" I muttered.
It's like this every time, if the fourth master speaks well, if he keeps silent, the inexplicable pressure will make people feel breathless...Seeing that he doesn't speak, but just stares at me, I force Suppressing my heartbeat, I just wanted to find something to say casually. I licked my dry lips, not daring to look at him again. I lowered my head and said softly, "Well, the doctor is very good, and the medicine he prescribed is also very effective. It's ancestral...um...'.
I cleared my throat, "By the way, you go back and help me, thank you Fujin. Fortunately, the doctor came in time that day, otherwise I really couldn't see the face. According to the people below, the doctor came here on horseback with sweat on his face Yes, but you didn't allow me to thank you afterwards." I smiled dryly again, "If you come late, don't take his life." Fourth Master said flatly.
I shivered slightly, and couldn't help raising my head to look at him. It turned out that I guessed right, it was him... "That day, it was also thanks to you", Fourth Master said in a hoarse voice, my heart felt hot, and I smiled slightly I smiled, "It's good that the child is fine", Fourth Master looked at my smile, and his face became softer and softer.
The fourth master took two steps forward, stretched out his hand gently, I stared blankly at his slender fingers, and smiled wryly in my heart, the brothers are all the same persistence, they will never give up until they reach their goals, I slowly let go With his hand, he turned his face, revealing a side face with some scars.
Fourth Master's nails are neatly trimmed. I lowered my eyes to see the fingertips getting closer and closer, and found him trembling slightly. My heart trembled. through the pores to my face...
"Ah, the elder guards are from the fourth master's mansion, right? The younger guards are from the thirteenth master's mansion. You are..." Qin Shun'er's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the fourth master's hand froze. My heart was relieved, but I was also a little bit lost.
I didn't dare to look at Si Ye's face, so I just turned my head down and watched Si Ye's arms slowly retracted and hung by his side, his fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were exposed... My eye sockets were a little hot and humid, but my heart was just... I can sigh in a low voice, until today I finally understand that the distance of one millimeter turns out to be so far away...
"Kang Dang, Bang Dang" the carriage was driving on the official road at a constant speed, this place was already far away from the Bieyuan, and the outline of the capital city was looming in the mist. "Thank you", I reached out to take the hand stove with new carbon, and said softly to Xiao Taoer, Xiao Taoer pursed her lips and smiled, and adjusted the position of the hand stove for me.
Water sandalwood was added to the stove, and a warm fragrance slowly surrounded me, but this warmth couldn't reach my heart anyway... The curtains were tightly covered, and the compartment was a little dark. It's more for secrecy.
Ever since I was secretly sent back from the summer resort that year, because of the darkness and panic and despair for more than ten days, I was particularly sensitive to the dark carriage space, and I could even say that there was a faint fear in my heart, but I never said this. I told anyone, and Yinxiang did the same.Since then, the escape, hiding and confinement have given me no chance to experience it again, but today... the confusion at that time gradually penetrated into my heart, and I held the hand stove tightly.
"I said, Liu Si'er, can you hurry up?" Qin Shun'er's voice came from outside the carriage, and my mood couldn't help drifting to just now...
I stood there with my head down in a daze, just staring at the lapel of the fourth master's clothes, but outside the window came the sound of Qin Shun'er getting close to someone and probing for a relationship.After a while, seeing the soap boots turn around, Fourth Master turned around and walked out the door, I quietly raised my eyes to look at his back, and let out a soft breath, as if I had been stalked from just now The heart that was tightly bound by the rope, only now feels free...
When the fourth master arrived at the door, he suddenly turned his head and saw my relieved expression, he couldn't help frowning slightly, I was startled, and I was so busy that I put on a respectful expression again, blessing Fushen Gong silently Send him out with all manners...
A faint amused flashed across his eyes, Fourth Master's thin lips moved, "I..." After a pause, before the words came out, Fourth Master shook his head slightly, turned around resolutely and went out, I stared blankly Looking at his back, what on earth is he trying to say...
And Qin Shun'er was obviously taken aback by Fourth Master's appearance, after a moment of silence outside, he hurriedly asked for peace, and Fourth Master responded lightly.Qin Shun'er paused, then suddenly lowered her voice and said something, I was taken aback, "You guys go over there to prepare first, then leave now" Fourth Master ordered the guards.
Seeing that he sent the guards away, I vaguely guessed what the secret was. I subconsciously pricked up my ears and leaned forward slightly to listen, but I only heard a faint sentence of green camp, take care of something... I was startled, and I was thinking about it. Should I lean closer to the door and listen more carefully? There was a pause from outside, and I straightened up abruptly. The wooden door was gently pushed open. Qin Shun'er poked his head in, saw me, smiled, and walked in.
"Master, shall we go now?" A guard asked respectfully from the door, "Well" the fourth master's voice paused, "Let's go", the horse's hooves sounded, and the servants led the horse over, and there was a burst of rubbing clothes The sound, after a while... "Drive" Fourth Master gave a loud shout, and the sound of horseshoes sounded like a torrential rain, and they went away in an instant.
Qin Shun'er came over cautiously at this time, saying that Yinxiang asked him to take me away from here and return to Beijing quickly, and he would hold them back with Ba Ye.Seeing the anxious look on his face, I didn't ask in detail, but just nodded. He told me to wait here for a while, and then he rushed out the door.
When he brought the carriage over, I found Xiao Taoer was already inside as soon as I got in the carriage. I couldn't help but smile slightly. Yinxiang's carefulness warmed my heart... The carriage creaked and began to move forward slowly. further and further.
Suddenly I feel that these years, the relationship between my fourth master and I is like a cable car running up and down, passing by from time to time, we can always see each other clearly when we are far away, and we can never get close when we are close. Whenever our eyes meet, it means Letting go... "Here" Xiao Tao'er stuffed a hand stove, I looked down and saw that it was the one that Yinxiang used every day.
Startled, I found that Xiao Taoer was pursing her lips and snickering, then pouted at the hand stove in my hand, and looked in the direction, only to find a small piece of paper tucked in the cotton sleeve.I took it out and took a look, and Yinxiang wrote in tall and straight and somewhat scrawled characters, "Let's hug it first today." I couldn't help but sighed in a low voice, squeezed the warmth tightly, and closed my eyes...
"Master, we'll be in the capital soon." Qin Shun'er leaned close to the car window and said, I was taken aback, shook my head, said in a low voice "Got it", then turned around and said to Xiao Tao'er, "It's almost two hours, My back hurts from sitting."Xiao Tao'er chuckled, "Just now I saw that you kept your eyes closed, did you fall asleep?" "Ah, yes." I smiled and didn't want to say anything more.
There are more and more human voices outside, and the cries of chickens, ducks and livestock are mixed in, and it is messy, but I like to hear it very much. I used to like to be quiet, but now I find that this kind of noise makes people feel alive...
It is estimated that there are quite a few food stalls nearby. In the past, it was basically a pole. The aroma of various foods floated in through the thick curtain. I shrugged my nose, "It smells like tea soup", Xiaotao The son smiled "puchi", "does it smell so fragrant? Then someone bought a servant tomorrow, but I don't know if it will be clean or not."
I smiled, "The best tea soup I've ever eaten is by the Daming Lake in Jinan Prefecture." Thinking back to when He Yinxiang, who was disguised as a man, went to temple fairs, shot arrows, and joined in the fun. It was so... Xiao Taoer But she didn't think too much about it. Seeing that I was happy, she also became excited and said that she would ask someone to buy it tomorrow...
The carriage slowly surged towards the city gate as more and more people flowed. Suddenly, there was commotion outside. I only felt that the carriage turned around and stopped after taking two steps forward. Xiao Taoer and I looked at each other in dismay. I heard a sound of hoofbeats coming from behind us...
Before I could think about it, the horse neighed and stopped near the carriage. My heart tightened, and I heard a loud laugh, "Butler Qin, where are you going in such a hurry?"...
