Chapter 46: Mourning for the Dead Young

"Ahh What a big snake, father save me..."

The woman on the apricot couch frowned, shook her head in horror, and suddenly sat up with her hands covered with her face, and her green silk hung down on her waist with a little messy...

"Miss, Miss, you're finally awake!"

Before Fu Liluo could open her eyes, she only felt that her palms were tight, and her little bulging face was full of sadness, and her big almond-like eyes were full of mist.

The smoky red curtain swept up a corner, rolled up Fu Liluo's green silk and floated back and forth, she raised her pale little face and looked out of the window, and saw that the mahogany-colored window was stained with glistening water droplets, rolling down along the red window bones, and the wind brought up a small wetness, she hid her face and turned her head, half leaning on the soft pillow, caressing the corners of her forehead and carefully recalling everything that happened in the hole.

Dou Yuan gently opened the curtain and came in, holding a plain woven box in his hand, followed by Dou Xiaoyang in an ink-colored shirt, the corner of his eye glanced at the person on the bed, his slightly curled eyebrows suddenly stretched out, but his face was indifferent, he leaned over to the edge of the window after passing the right side of the bed, stretched out his hand to pull down the gray and cyan curtain, and walked over: "Miss Gu suddenly fainted on the way back, and the doctor said that it was just a chance cold, and it would be fine to rest for a day or two!"

He stood on the corner of the couch with his hands in his hands, looked at the light-faced girl on the couch, and the corners of his lips curved: "Today's wind and rain are very strong, Miss Gu, please rest in the house for one night, and go back tomorrow!"

Dou Xiaoyang brushed away the water droplets on the brocade robe with cold eyes, clenched his slightly cool fingertips with a bored expression, vigorously opened the tassel curtain of the jade and stepped out.

Fu Li raised his eyebrows, but the man in brocade had long since disappeared, leaving only a cold air.

Clenched her sleeves tightly with her hands and made a careful inspection, only to find that she was alone in a strange room, Manluo was holding a bun with a bitter face on her fingertips, Dou Yuan, who was dressed in a light blue shirt, was sitting on the edge of the bed with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and her pretty little face like a begonia flower was staring at her slyly, she was a little uncomfortable, and stared at the door of the room: "Where is Sister Huanbi?"

"Let the carriage in the house send Sister Huanbi back, Sister Xi rest assured! She saw that Sister Xi had fainted, where was she willing to go, but Sister Xi didn't know, Sister Huanbi's life in Earl Changxing Mansion was not easy, and her mother was very strict with her!"

Dou Yuan sighed, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Fu Liluo.

Manluo helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, and raised her eyebrows with a worried face: "Miss, you don't know, when General Dou came over with you unconscious, the slave maid was really shocked!" Manluo said as she twisted the green silk from the corner of Fu Liluo's mouth.

Cough... Cough.. Cough, after listening to the words of the little maidservant, Fu Liluo's face turned pale and coughed sharply, and the hand holding the teacup also shook violently, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, indifferently hiding the panic under his eyes, and his starry eyes seemed to be covered by mist.

The white thin hand stroked the chest and gasped slightly, Fu Liluo stroked the curled eyebrows, and a heart jumped suddenly, it turned out that it was not a dream, she only vaguely saw the green python attacking her, the blood basin opened its mouth wide and was about to swallow her, when she was frightened, the man took her up and ran away in the air...

"Sister Xi, do you remember what happened, why did you suddenly faint?" Dou Yuan pulled her loose hair and asked curiously.

Fu Liluo lowered his eyes and shrunk his thin shoulders slightly, his body unconsciously retreated, his back was already tightly attached to the head of the bed, and he covered his ears with his bare hands: "I don't know... I just remember that there was a big snake, so big, so big..."She sat at the foot of the bed with her eyes closed and her knees folded with a frightened face.

Manluo hurriedly pulled the corner of Dou Yuan's skirt, glanced at her, and spread out her hands to hug Fu Liluo's trembling body: "Miss, don't think about it, you have a good night's rest, the slave guards you." ”

Dou Yuan's eyes were bright and bright, a trace of unknown emotion flashed under her eyes, she raised her eyes and looked deeply at Fu Liluo in the corner, and stroked her shoulders with a warm and soft face: "Sister Xi, you can sleep here for one night, don't think about anything!"

After that, he gave a few more words to the mangrove before he lifted the skirt and went out....

In an instant, the cheeks that were still warm immediately became cold, and the white hands tightened in the wide sleeves.

Today she saw him come back with Gu Xi in his arms, although he tried his best to hide the emotions in his eyes, but she still saw the abnormal light in his clear eyes when he looked at the woman, the light was like the stars in the sky, she had never seen it!

Dou Yuan pushed over the umbrella cloak handed over by the maidservant, and ran into the continuous rain curtain in a daze, and a teardrop rolled down her red eyes and fell down with the raindrops.

"Miss, let's have some porridge!"

Manluo glanced at the door, picked up the bone china bowl on the incense case, and sat on the edge of the bed to look at Fu Liluo, who was stunned, in fact, she was really frightened today, looking at the dying young lady, she almost fainted.

Fu Liluo pulled Su Su around herself, listening to the wind and rain outside, she rolled her palms absentmindedly, and looked at Manluo with frowns: "What time is it?"

Manluo trembled her eyelashes, scooped out a spoonful of glutinous porridge and handed it to her mouth: "It's three o'clock, Miss eat and sleep in peace! ”

Fu Liluo took the spoon with both hands and glanced at the mangrove on the side: "I'll come by myself, you can go to bed early!"

Manluo saw that her spirit was much better, her complexion eased a lot, and a stone in her heart was quietly put down, Manluo covered the corners of her yawning mouth and smiled: "Then the young lady finishes eating, and the slave waits for you to go to rest after washing." ”

Fu Liluo's eyes flashed slightly, and he drank the fine porridge without looking at her: "No need, you bring the water tray and I'll come by myself later." ”

Manluo was stunned, and hurriedly put the porcelain bowl for her, held her arm to help her lie down, and hurriedly laid down the bed curtain...

The night became more and more silent, the rain outside the window knocked weakly on the window, the gray-blue curtain rippled against the mottled dry branches outside, the girl on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, the night was deep, in addition to her shallow breath in the dark, only the breeze and drizzle outside the window knocked on the glazed tiles of the roof endlessly, a few dead leaves rustled down, she pricked up her ears to hear clearly.

Fu Liluo lowered her eyelashes, carefully recalling the clear route circling in her mind during the day, she vaguely remembered that the top of the rockery next to the stone cave leads to the corner tower on the side of the mountain, if you climb up the corner tower along the top of the rockery, and then go down from the corner tower...

Her eyes flowed, she stroked her eyebrows and thought carefully about the specific direction, and suddenly her eyes were full of hope, it was the east-west direction, just under the corner tower, along the dead forest at the corner to the hill.

She didn't stay any longer, covered the light veil on her face, and flashed out of the room with a sturdy body...

A light rain poured into the dark night sky, and she walked quickly through the winding and rugged wet paths, and soon came to the rockery where she had been during the day.

Fu Liluo hesitated, his eyes looked at the dry grass next to the rockery in horror, his body trembled, and his eyes were vigilant at the dead vines swinging in the wind, for fear that the green creature would come out if he was not careful...

Cold sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead, she turned white and leaned forward with the corners of her mouth, and suddenly her feet were unstable, as if she had touched a trace of slipperyness, she screamed in horror, and hurriedly covered her lips with her hands.

"Who's who? Who's where?"

A shrill voice came, accompanied by the dim light, the footsteps were gradually approaching, Fu Liluo stroked his heart, and quickly flashed to the reeds on the right side of the rockery, the water in the deep pit under the reeds instantly flooded her ankles, she held her cheeks in both hands, and her starry eyes looked at the two people who bowed their heads like ice.

"Could it be that the bottom of your eyes has not been spent?"

The woman pulled her sharp voice and carried the lantern towards the rockery...

Fu Liluo's muffled voice stuck to the cold stone, the biting cold air spread from her back to her feet, and instantly spread all over her body, she covered the corners of her mouth, and stared straight at the bright piece of light.

"Oh, you old thing bluffs me, who is there in the middle of the night? I see, you are old and dizzy!"

Another snort came, and the man picked up and kicked the slippery thing on the ground, and the thing flew around in mid-air, hit the corner of the rockery, and snapped with a thud.

"Ahhh

The man screamed, Fu Liluo, who was hiding in the corner of the rockery, pulled the corner of his clothes, and the cold sweat on Ruyu's face rolled down unscrupulously.

"Oh, look at the branches!"

"Phew, I'm scared to death! Let's go!"

The two of them hunched over and walked away quickly with the lights on, but they didn't know that the woman behind the rockery had already fallen to the ground with sweat all over her body.

Gradually, the rain curtain became bigger, and soon a water curtain was built in front of her, Fu Li Luo stood still and gasped, looked up at the top of the mountain, took the iron hook in her arms and threw it at the top of the mountain, the long iron hook hooked the trunk of the tree on the top of the mountain, she rubbed her feet up on the ground, climbed up along the ribbon, and it didn't take long for her to go up....

Her slender body shrank slightly and walked quickly up and down the corner tower, she frowned and paused, and threw the iron hook at the tree opposite the corner tower, like a monkey climbing a wall, standing on the trunk of a dead tree.

Tighten the tulle around her ears, jump down, carry the wet skirt and flash into the black house at the mouth of the alley, and after a while, a slender woman half lying on the back of a black horse, facing the wind and rain.

When she came out of the mansion, she had already made a plan, deliberately chose the most vigorous black horse, and took advantage of everyone's attention to pull the carriage to this inconspicuous hut, waiting for the opportunity to wait for the darkness to come.

Along the way, the wind was roaring, the autumn rain lingered, Fu Liluo bit his lower lip, and lay on the back of the galloping horse with half-closed eyes.

suddenly

A thunderclap exploded, and the dark sky instantly brightened as day, and she opened her starry eyes and dismounted from her horse, hiding the black horse in the hollow of the empty hillside, and walked towards the silent top of the mountain with a single skirt.

"General, if it is known that Miss Fu is here, my subordinates are afraid that they will not let it go..."

The two black-clothed men walked out of the barren bushes on the mountain, startling Fu Liluo, she turned towards the small dirt slope in a panic, half of her body fell to the ground, she didn't even dare to breathe, and the rippling autumn waves startled a string of ripples, and her cold eyes went towards the two people.

"There's no one else who knows about it but her!"

The cold voice made people feel cold, the man clasped his hands, a pair of phoenix eyes full of melancholy, and raised his eyes to look at the vine branches and dead leaves that were swaying left and right by the wind and rain.

The attendant next to the man bowed slightly: "My subordinates understand! Presumably Miss Gu will not say it, after all, she buried Miss Fu with her own hands... Besides, we bumped into her..."

"Hugh wants to mention it again!" Suddenly the man snorted coldly, and he stopped the guard from blurting out the words that he was about to blurt out, and the guard retreated to the side of the vine bushes in shock, not daring to say more.

The man raised his hand to wrap the brocade robe on his body, his eyes turned back and suddenly looked deeply at the small earthen bag on the slope, his jaw tightened proudly, he turned over and jumped on the horse's back, snorted softly, and ran away....

Fu Li Luo Langlang choked on the silt and climbed up the mountain, the curtain was not full of desolation as he thought, only to see that small side of the slope, surrounded by a circle of green jade inlaid tiles, on both sides of the stand a few osmanthus trees, her apricot eyes took a closer look, her body almost stood unsteadily, rubbing her confused eyes to look fixedly, the straight and steep osmanthus tree was actually the double stamen bean laurel transplanted in the courtyard of the mother's lifetime, half squatting and leaning on the knees under the tree, looking up, where there are stamens, all mottled and withered yellow branches.

The dense drizzle shrouded the cold girl like an indissoluble melancholy, she leaned against the cold tombstone, sour tears slipped down her jaw, stretched out her hand to the black tombstone, and with a bang, lightning crossed the cold sky, and in the bright light, she saw the words on the tombstone: "Mourn the early death!"
