71 Chapter 71
When she arrived in the courtyard, Su Xunzi slowed down, on the one hand, she was afraid that the movement would be too big to attract the attention of her eldest brother, and then it would be difficult to do a further investigation, and on the other hand, she didn't want Xiao Rui to see her anxious appearance, and thought she was begging him.
But when she gently pushed the door open like a thief, stepped in carefully, and took advantage of the time to turn around and close the door to call "Brother Shizi", the room was the same as the last time, and no one responded quietly.
Reading books and ignoring people again?
Su Xun secretly thought, bit his lower lip lightly and turned to look at the inner room, but then his eyes couldn't help but widen.
I saw that the house was empty, where was there anyone?
Not only that, but the bedding on the bed was neatly stacked, as if no one had slept last night.
Hey, where did Xiao Rui go?
Su Xun walked slowly and slowly step by step in a bit of a daze, her little head unconsciously looked around, and when she walked to the chaise longue and saw the half-flipped books on the side of the table, a bad thought faintly popped up in her mind: Didn't Xiao Ruimo go back to Kyoto with Xiao Jingyu?
After all, I heard that the envoy of the peace talks has now arrived in Jingzhou, and I believe that if there is no accident, it will only arrive in Kyoto on the 10th. And Xiao Rui has always been a major matter, and he is also a courtier relied on by the emperor, so he will never and must not be absent from the talks. Therefore, it is very likely that he will return to Kyoto.
But...... Let's go, why don't you even have a way?
Su Xun pursed her lips slightly, somehow felt sour in her heart, and comforted herself: she is not Xiao Rui, why should people say goodbye to her.
This was uncomfortable for a while, and Su Xun didn't forget that she came to Xiao Rui to save people at this time. And now, although this helper is gone, this rescue cannot be delayed. Naturally, Su Xun knew how many pounds and taels he weighed, and he didn't expect to be able to rescue people by himself at this time, he just wanted to take advantage of the crowds in the day to investigate, which was better than doing nothing and waiting.
After making up his mind, Su Xun went back to his room and dressed up in men's clothes, put on his mask, and glanced at his slightly ordinary appearance in the mirror before going out.
Shuili had already led the deer to wait at the door of the house, but at this moment she frowned, and her heart was hesitant, and when she saw her girl wearing men's clothes and came with a change of appearance, she seemed to have guessed something, and hurriedly pulled the deer behind her, but she didn't let Su Xun take it, and said anxiously: "Girl, where are you going? Do you want to go to the temple to find someone?" And for some reason, Shuili always felt that the mountain temple was a little strange, but she didn't worry about her own girl going.
Seeing this, Su Xun replied unhurriedly: "I'm just riding a wonton out for a walk, maybe I can find people along the way?" But as she spoke, she secretly made a running gesture towards the wonton in her hand.
Wanton is very spiritual, and especially pro-Su Xun, the watery deer eyes saw the gesture, as if crazy to break free of Shuili's hand, quickly rubbed to the master's side and squatted, and when she quickly hugged the deer's neck and jumped on the back of the deer, listened to the command on all four hooves, and rushed forward.
"Girl......" Shuili didn't expect this change, and when she reacted and wanted to stop it, she only grabbed a corner of the hem of her clothes slightly, and didn't dare to use force, for fear that the girl would fall off the deer, and finally she could only watch the figure get farther and farther away.
……
Su Xun rode a deer through the mountains and forests.
This mountain forest is the only way to go to the gourd temple, out of the mountain forest you can see a mountain, called Qingbi Mountain. And the gourd temple is located on the halfway of this mountain. To tell the truth, there is a remote and quiet place, it is inconspicuous, but it can not stand the beautiful scenery, especially whenever the mountain temple bell rings in the early morning, the smoke is swirling around, as if entering the fairyland, over time, the aura of heaven and earth, pray for blessings and make wishes as if it is particularly effective, and the incense is naturally vigorous. But who knows, when this wonderful place falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it becomes a place of deep sin.
Before he knew it, he was about to leave the forest, Su Xun hid in the bushes, looking at the people who were coming up the mountain one after another at the foot of the mountain not far away, among them there were many young girls, seeing their pious faces, this heart was heavy.
However, even if she knew that some people would never return, Su Xun didn't want to stop it at this moment, because doing so would only startle the snake, and she had to protect the people around her first. It's okay to call her selfish, but her heart is so big that she has no time to take care of more innocent people.
Su Xun took a deep breath, and wanted to get off the deer, there were so many people in front, if he rode the deer forward again, it would be strange if he didn't attract attention.
But before the words of the command wonton could be spoken, I saw that the wanton under him suddenly shook the deer's ears, as if he heard something, blinked the watery deer eyes, and "Yo Yo" chirped and turned the deer suddenly, and ran back quickly.
Su Xunzi was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she hurriedly called Wonton to stop, but Wanton seemed to be crazy, but he didn't listen to the call, and ran straight into the depths of the mountain forest before slowly stopping.
Seeing that Wonton stopped, Su Xun didn't hesitate to jump off the back of the deer, then frowned and stroked the deer's head, and said worriedly: "Wonton, what's wrong with you?" Wonton has always been very obedient and obedient to her, what he did just now has never been, maybe he was accidentally scared by something. Naturally, the wonton would not answer, it just licked Su Xun lightly, and seemed to hear something, raised its head and called "Yo Yo" a few times.
Seeing this, Su Xun raised his eyes suspiciously and looked forward, and then was stunned.
I saw that not far away, in the lush greenery, that familiar purple figure was long and straight, it was not Xiao Rui, who else could it be?
It turned out that he did not follow Xiao Jingyu back to Kyoto......
At this moment, Su Xun felt ecstatic in her heart, and she almost ran over directly, but she hadn't lost her mind, she was busy suppressing the impulse, and only pulled Wonton and walked over slowly, but the corners of her mouth were already upturned.
Xiao Rui stood there, watching the little girl get closer and closer with an expressionless face, pretending to be calm when he saw the face that couldn't see his true face, but he couldn't hide his joy, was it because he saw him?
Su Xun walked up, but he was not in a hurry to talk to Xiao Rui, he only patted the deer, pretended to be angry and snorted: "Wonton is so bad, I give you so many good things to eat on weekdays, and I actually listen to others." "Yes, after seeing Xiao Rui, Su Xun naturally guessed that the abnormality of Wonton must have heard Xiao Rui's order. It's not strange to think about it, after all, this deer was originally given by Xiao Rui.
Saying this, he secretly glanced at Xiao Rui, took a deep breath, and then muttered in a casual voice: "Since you are injured, why don't you lie in the house and rest, what do you keep running out." ”
Xiao Rui couldn't hear the meaning of this, and the little girl must have gone to his house to look for him but didn't find anyone, and complained in her heart. He lowered his eyes and looked at the face that seemed to be a little puffed up, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "I went out to run errands today, sorry I didn't tell you in advance." "Actually, since last night, he has not been in Zhuangzi, not for anything else, but to negotiate with Xiao Jingyu and send him away overnight, in case he has a long night. In addition, he also told his subordinates to do some things by the way, so that he could spend more time in the Zhuangzi.
Su Xun wasn't really angry, not to mention that she was a little afraid of him in her heart, hearing him say this, she didn't lose her temper, she looked at him, and asked as if nothing happened: "Brother Shizi, then how do you know that I am here?"
"I heard that you came here to find someone, so I came. Xiao Rui replied truthfully. When he went back to the house, he happened to meet the helpless Shui Li, and when he asked, he knew what was going on, and he was relieved in his heart, so he immediately rushed over.
Su Xun knew that it must have been Shui Li who told Xiao Rui about this, and she hummed softly in her mouth, "Mouthy girl", but her eyes were very bright.
Xiao Rui looked at her obviously happy, but pretended not to care, and didn't bother to debunk it, but only took a few steps closer to her, and said, "It's not too early, let's go to the mountain temple to find someone first." ”
Su Xun also knew that the matter of the lotus mist was urgent, she nodded, and wanted to order Wonton to squat down so that she could climb on the back of the deer, but the next moment, the man next to her suddenly leaned over, reached over with one hand to support her fart, and hugged her on the deer with one hand.
Su Xun was naturally stunned, and subconsciously looked at the man, but saw that his face did not change, and knew that he must still think that he was a little girl and kindly help her. And she shouldn't think about it too much, but if she thinks about it like this, her face is burning badly, and she only feels that her ears are hot.
This appearance didn't want to attract Xiao Rui's attention, so he stopped talking, and only lowered his head deeply.
On the side, Xiao Rui was still expressionless, and he didn't seem to notice the shyness of the little girl beside him, and his slender hand led the deer and walked forward slowly.
But if you look closely, you can see that the hand is involuntarily clenched tightly, and the root of the ear is also red.
When the two arrived at the gourd temple, it was already Shen Shi, at this time, there were not many people worshipping Buddha and praying in the temple, and I don't know if it was because of psychological factors, Su Xun always felt that although the temple was full of cigarette smoke, there was always a gloomy feeling, which made her shiver, but immediately, a warm hand reached over and gently held her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Xiao Rui said in a low voice.
Su Xun has always felt that Xiao Rui is very secure, and when he listens to him so softly and comfortingly, he feels even more warm when he is at ease. She glanced at the tall figure standing beside her, and was about to speak, but the next moment, she only heard a "cooing" sound.
The sound was not loud, but the temple was quiet, and it was naturally very clear and obvious, and the sound came from my stomach.
Su Xun suddenly looked embarrassed, and quickly reached out to cover her stomach, she slept until noon today, and rushed over without eating, this time her stomach was hungry, it was strange if she didn't scream.
But this stomach is too unlucky, how can it be called at this time, isn't this adding to the chaos?
As if he noticed that there were a lot of eyes cast on him, many of them were monks in the temple, Su Xun couldn't help but feel annoyed, and secretly glanced at Xiao Rui beside him, seeing that his face seemed to be ugly, he should also be very embarrassed.
But the next moment, I saw Xiao Rui take his hand and walk towards the monk standing at the door, and then listened to him ask seriously: "Master, is there any food here?"
