Chapter 5: The Raven Sets Up (5)
"Yes, so I said, I've learned from you how to send flowers so that nothing goes wrong, so I'll do it tonight. "Could it be that Qi Bei has failed repeatedly, and he himself is not extremely depressed. What kind of arrangement did God give him, obviously close at hand, obviously within reach, why can't he catch anything?
Xiao Xiao snapped his fingers and said a big obstacle accurately: "Tell me to see, it's because of the big trouble of the imperial officer!"
Yes, Xiao Xiao is right.
Qi Bei began to grieve again. Why didn't you show up sooner, like before she married him? Or help her on the hard journey with her brother on the run? God, what did you do to make arrangements!
"We can't really help her find the Princess. Xiao Xiao warned Qi Bei solemnly, "I know that your kindness is overflowing, but in this matter, you have to stand up with a straight face, resolutely, resolutely, resolutely and resolutely cannot compromise." β
Qi Bei scratched his head: "I have promised her." β
Xiao Xiao clapped his hands: "Of course you can promise her." It's just a word. But if you agree, you don't necessarily have to find it, and to be honest, we can't find it. You see, in the past two days, there have been no clues at all. You can't knock on the door from door to door and ask, 'Have you seen Lord Ye Shiyu in Jun'an City?'. β
Qi Bei was tendoned: "We didn't work hard to find it, of course we couldn't find it." β
Xiao Sha shook his head: "Do you really want to work hard to find your rival in love?" I said that you are a person, seriousness is a good thing, and kindness is the best quality, but can you not be so rigid?"
Qi Bei: "Then what should I do?"
"Paddle. At most, go to the street and run two laps to walk around the scenery, which means that it is okay. Xiao Xiao sighed.
Qi Bei whispered: "But I really want to help her......"
Xiao Xiao got up and left: "Then you will be a shadow behind her for the rest of your life." Good luck running fast enough. I almost forgot to tell you that when I gave flowers to Mrs. Bailing, they all flew up to the roof and threw them directly at the door for her. When you go up to the roof, you have to be careful not to slip off. β
--------
Silent nights are hard to sleep into.
Mrs. Bailing sent Xiao Cui away, tossing and turning and still keeping her eyes open. Shi Yu's whereabouts are still unknown, she can't see the face of the envoy all day, there is no news from Qibei, and now she seems to be on a cliff in all directions, and she can only stand alone on the only landing stone in the ocean.
Without Shi Yu, can she and Zhi'er continue to stay in Jun'an City? The two who have lost their shelter are like leaves falling in the wind, how long can they support themselves?
Mrs. Bailing was groggy, half-asleep and half-awake in the past scenes replayed like a marquee, she saw the distant memory of her father's mother, her newborn brother, and Jiayang, who was still her father's most admired disciple at that time, everything surged like a tide, and dissipated like a low tide.
She saw that on the way to escape with her beloved son, the wind and sand blinded her eyes, and the feeling of hunger in her belly and the cold that froze to her bone marrow were the pain she would never experience again in her life.
When she saw her marriage to Shi Yu, she laughed and cried bitterly because she finally found support and settled in Jun'an City.
Then she didn't know why, she actually saw that at the Hundred Flowers Conference, Qi Bei, who was highly poisonous, insisted on giving her the only antidote regardless of his own life or death.
With a heat in her chest, Lady Bailing woke up from her half-sleep.
How did you think of Qibei?
Her mind went blank, and Lady Bailing was at a loss for a while.
...... Probably because of ...... No one has ever cared so much about their own life and death, right?
She sat on the bed with her knees clenched.
If it was replaced by Shi Yu, would he give up the only antidote?
As soon as this question came up, Mrs. Bailing laughed at herself for being too stupid: How could it be? If there was really someone in this world who could save Shi Yu with his life, that person would have already died.
She buried her head deep in her arms, and the night was deep and empty, and she suddenly felt helpless.
That's right, if there is really someone who is willing to exchange his life for a person, he can only be a ghost buried in the East China Sea.
Aji.
In the final analysis, what is he who was "married by the Ming Media" by Shi Yu.
There was a slight movement on the roof.
Lady Bailing knew at once what the man might be doing. In the past few days, whenever in the dead of night, there is always a blooming flower falling in front of the door.
Today, she must hurry up to see the identity of that person.
On the roof, the clumsy Qi Bei didn't dare to breathe - alas, Xiao Xiao was really a crow's mouth, saying that he would go to the house and slip his feet, and he really almost slipped off the ground.
He leaned on the roof of the house, secretly looked at Mrs. Bailing, who lit the lamp and went out to check the situation, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I didn't fall down and let her find out." β
Then lamented: "When my feet slipped, my hand shook, and the peony flower fell directly, I hope it didn't break." β
In front of the door fell a blooming peony flower.
Madame Bailing looked around with the lights on, and the courtyard was empty. I still haven't been able to catch the flower giver tonight. She had no choice but to pick up the peony flower and go back to the house with a puzzled expression.
Qi Bei was happy in his heart, and he was about to roll on the roof.
Look at it, it's really simple to send flowers! It's also easy to learn! Alas, I knew this earlier, I learned from Xiao Xiao and Xiaoxiao in advance, and only one branch was sent at a time, so that there would be no tragic farce at the Hundred Flowers Conference.
Qi Bei sneaked away along the roof: it feels really good to send flowers!
He thought, I'm going to come again tomorrow night.
--------
With the joint guidance and help of Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao, Qi Bei tasted the sweet taste of success for the first time with less effort. This feeling is unprecedentedly good, and Qi Bei gradually understands that in this world, it is not only the brute strength of an old scalper to do things, but also the skill, the latter is what he lacks.
After tasting the sweetness, he was in high spirits and wanted to send flowers again.
At night, Qi Bei climbed to the roof where Mrs. Bailing lived again, this time with experience, the soles of his feet were much more careful and light, and he did not make a sound from the upper roof to the lower roof. The peony flower threw out his hand, and Qi Bei was worried that the delicate petals would shatter when they hit the ground, so he exhaled and rolled up a gust of wind and dragged the peony to the door of Mrs. Bailing.
Everything went just perfectly.
But there's a bit of a bad thing.
He thought, "My steps and movements are so light that she can't notice themβwell, then she'll have to see the peony early tomorrow morning?" But I think she'll get the flowers tonight, yes, I'd like to see her receive them with my own eyes.
So, Qi Bei deliberately exerted force on the soles of his feet and pulled on the tiles. The voice was neither loud nor small, and it happened to attract the attention of Mrs. Bailing, who was sleepless at night.
