41. Chapter 41
When he woke up in the morning, Qi Yi had two big dark circles under his eyes.
Last night's dream scared him so much that he didn't fall asleep again after waking up, and his mind was full of cranky thoughts.
He was in good health, and the injuries on his body were almost healed.
Cui'er brought him breakfast, constantly peeking at him out of the corner of her eye.
He didn't care about the other party's movements secretly, dried a few bowls of shredded chicken porridge in one go, stood up and prepared to go out for a walk. Yesterday, Zhu Yuanyu told him that he could walk around this courtyard casually, and if there was something, he could ask the maid to lead the way to him.
Of course Qi Yi wouldn't go to Zhu Yuanyu, he had such a dream last night, he didn't want to see the other party for the time being, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed.
He walked around the yard and noticed green leaves coming out on the other side of the wall, which looked a little thick, and he nose stirred, and smelled an astringent and somewhat fragrant smell.
"What kind of tree is this?"
Cui'er followed behind him, and when she saw that he was very interested in the tree on the other side of the wall, she smiled and said, "Hui Gongzi, this is an orange tree, which was specially transported by the master from the south." ”
Qi Yi nodded, and asked again: "Is there an orchard over there?" It would be too strange for the mansion to open an orchard......
Cui'er shook her head and explained, "Opposite is the young master's study, and the saplings of the orange tree were planted there according to the young master's instructions. ”
Hearing that Zhu Yuanyu's study was on the other side of the wall, Qi Yi's heart skipped a beat, and the fragrant dream of last night came to his mind again.
He shook his head, trying to get the image out of his mind.
......
Wang Jinyi wants to prepare for next year's exam, so he hasn't relaxed for a while, so he and his cousin went to Dongshi for a casual stroll two days ago, and then ended with picking up someone.
Today he wanted to ask his cousin to go to Qinghui Building to watch a play, but Zhu Yuanyu refused, and it was not interesting for him to go by himself, so he had to ask a few friends to go with him.
There are not many people he knows who like to watch plays, and he counted them with one palm, but he didn't expect Bi Hui to be interested.
Several people arrived at Qinghui Building and sat in the private room on the second floor.
When the little servant finished serving the refreshments and was about to quit, Wang Jinyi asked casually: "By the way, is the troupe invited a few months ago still there?" Because of that Hua Dan's rampage, he regretted that he couldn't enjoy the drama he was looking forward to.
When the little guy heard this, a trace of horror appeared on his face, but he quickly covered it up and hesitated: "...... here"
Someone who came with Wang Jinyi quipped: "What, is there anything special about that troupe? ”
"It's not ......," Wang Jinyi shook his head.
He didn't miss the frightening that flashed just now, so he asked the little guy: "It seems that there is a hidden secret, just right, this son is in a good mood today, if what you say can arouse my interest, this ingot of silver is yours." With that, he snapped a small ingot of silver on the table.
The little guy was instantly attracted by the silver, thinking that it was not a secret, so he sneered: "Since the son wants to know, the little one doesn't dare to hide it......"
He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "That Hua Dan is dead!"
"What?!"
Wang Jinyi looked unconvinced, he still believed in Zhu Yuanyu's ability, how could the person who had been saved turn around and die again? It's too strange......
Seeing that he didn't believe it, for the ingot of silver, he cheered and said: "That Hua Dan was originally rescued by a master, but it's a pity............" He shook his head and sighed, "That master is really a fairy wind bone!
"Let's get to the point!!, How did that man die?" Wang Jinyi knocked on the table with his fingers, this little guy was too long-winded.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the little guy nodded.
Then he seemed to remember something terrible, swallowed his saliva and said, "That Hua Dan...... He died a terrible death. I happened to be in the hut at the time, and when I heard a scream, I followed the sound curiously...... I saw that Hua Dan was covered in darkness and fell in the corridor, with that hideous expression...... His master ran over and touched him, but he was no longer breathing...... What an evil door! I think it's a lot of *** hit something......
"Did he wash the runes on his arm?" Wang Jinyi remembered Zhu Yuanyu's warning to Hua Dan that day.
"This-" The little guy scratched his head and said uncertainly, "The little one doesn't know either...... That Hua Dan's whole body was black, even the blood was black, I really couldn't see his appearance clearly, and the runes on his arms couldn't be recognized......"
Wang Jinyi was silent.
Bi Hui waved his hand, and the little servant thanked him flatteringly, and took the silver and withdrew.
"What is this? Do you know that Hua Dan?" someone asked.
Seeing that Wang Jinyi didn't want to say, Bi Hui stopped other people's questions and said with a smile: "It's over." ”
Sure enough, someone on the stage on the first floor took the stage, and the sound of music also sounded.
......
Zhu Yuanyu is teasing the dog.
Zhu Dafu's friend gave him a ree deer, which was still a puppy that had just been weaned.
The roe deer is a boy with an unfathomable face, with a ring of standing hair surrounding its cute lion's head.
Zhu Yuanyu picked it up, the ree was very obedient, the pale golden soft fur was very fluffy, and it felt very comfortable, he felt as if he was holding a stove.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanyu liked it, Zhu Dafu gave him the deer with a wave of his hand.
Probably someone has bathed the deer, the hair on the repertoe is very clean, and after asking Zhu Dafu, he learned that there was someone to serve such a puppy, and Zhu Yuanyu still needs to be guided by a professional if he raises it.
The reel has no name, Zhu Yuanyu thought about it and felt that "Maotou" was quite commensurate with it, so he decided on this name.
I asked the person who served the hairy head, and learned that the roe deer is a dog with an independent personality, intelligent and noble and loyal owner, and he is quite happy, he does not like dogs that cause trouble, and having a dog that specializes in causing trouble may cause him inconvenience.
Maotou probably also knew that Zhu Yuanyu was its owner, although it would not be clingy, but it would still follow him closely, like a follower.
The newborn duck will think that it is his mother to the people he sees at first sight, and then he follows closely wherever he goes, and now Maotou is like this, poor Zhu Yuanyu has become the old mother in his heart.
After teasing for a while, Zhu Yuanyu walked back to the study and followed with a hairy fart.
Probably in the stage of being more happy with the baby teeth, the hair felt itchy, and when he saw that the master's footsteps stopped, he leaned over and bit the hem of the big foil and grinded it.
Zhu Yuanyu felt as if something was dragging his big back under his feet, glanced back, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"It's ......"
He smiled helplessly, bent down to pick up the hairy head, and patted its little buttocks.
The hairy head grinned, revealing its tender tongue.
Zhu Yuanyu carried it into the study, put it on his lap after sitting down, and picked up the book to read.
The hairy head curled up quietly into a ball, squinting slightly and snoring.
After a while, Maotou stood up, and four small meat pads stepped on Zhu Yuanyu's legs.
He lowered his head, and his fur seemed a little frizzy.
"What's wrong?" touched Maotou's head.
Maotou found a direction, jumped down, and walked to the door on all fours.
Zhu Yuanyu put down the book and stood up, he was a little curious about what Maotou was going to do.
Maotou trotted under an orange sapling, circled around, and sniffed.
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, should Maotou be ...... He remembered that the person who served Maotou said that Maotou had just finished eating.
Maotou finally stood still, his hind legs were slightly forked, and he squatted down and pulled a bubble of.
Zhu Yuanyu: ......
"Young master, it's!" exclaimed Li Zhuangzhuang, who came out of nowhere.
"I have eyes on this, I don't need you to say it!"
Zhu Yuanyu rolled his eyes.
After the hair head finished, he kept an unfathomable expression and ran towards Zhu Yuanyu.
Thinking that the hair on Maotou's buttocks might be stained with feces, Zhu Yuanyu's face suddenly changed.
Zhu Yuanyu finally held up the forelimbs of the hairy head with both hands, raised it and took a closer look at its buttocks, and found that it was not stained with anything terrible, so he put his heart at ease, gently flicked its forehead, and said, "Go play by yourself." ”
Probably knowing that this would be its territory in the future, Mao Tou saw that his master had no intention of playing with him, so he began to patrol his own territory alone.
......
After eating lunch, Qi Yi walked around the yard again, he circled around the wall, and he didn't know whether he wanted to see the leaves of the orange sapling, or whether he wanted to touch the other side through the wall.
Cui'er wrinkled her nose, she stood on the corridor, looked at Qi Yi under the sun, and persuaded: "Childe, the sun is too hot, you better go back to the house!"
Qi Yi didn't seem to hear it, and his attention was on the gate of the yard - there was a puppy standing there.
Cui'er seemed to notice it too, and exclaimed, "Oh! where is the puppy?"
Qi Yi walked over, and the puppy looked unfathomable, keeping his posture still, and his tail occasionally swaying.
"Hairy head?"
Qi Yi's familiar voice came from a distance, and he stiffened, stopped, and wanted to escape back to the room.
Maotou turned around happily and ran in the direction of the sound.
Seeing that the owner of the voice did not come, Qi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the room without saying a word.
Cui'er wondered, when did the young master raise a puppy?
Zhu Yuanyu was also looking at the book, worried that Maotou would run too far and the sun would be shining, so he shouted.
Maotou heard the call of his master, came back obediently, and saw a big porcelain bowl on the ground, which contained water, so he leaned over and stretched out his tongue to lick the water.
Zhu Yuanyu glanced at it, smiled, and then continued to read.
