CHAPTER XXXI
The spring rain trickled down on the tiles, drowning out all the movement in the night, and Yan Zhao tossed and turned on the bed, without sleep. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Song Cheng, what kind of person is he?
It is him who is careful, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is also the one who deducted her medicine money and kept it in her private room.
When he saved him, he once said that he wanted him to accompany him for ten years and repay her life-saving grace, but he agreed without thinking about anything, and it seemed that in this world, he had no concern.
He can't read, and his handwriting is not as good as his own, but he is obsessed with medical skills, and when he is poor, he takes himself all over the mountains to dig medicine for money.
It's also a passable business.
Yan Zhao had no clue, looked at a few small peaches on the table over and over again, and simply got up and lit the lamp and went out.
The Goryeo papier-mΓ’chΓ© lantern shook when the wind blew it, and the candles inside swayed and were about to be extinguished.
She carried the lamp tower from the outside of the house where Gu Changlan copied scriptures during the day, and turned back at the end, so late at night when the wind and rain were urgent, Gu Changlan's room was still lit with a lamp.
Could it be that he is still copying scriptures so late?
The door squeaked open, Yun Man turned sideways and asked Yan Zhao to go in, just now when she was spinning outside, the shadow had already been reflected on the window paper for a long time, and the room was clearly visible.
Yan Zhao thanked him in a low voice and stepped into the house.
Under the dim oil lamp, Gu Changlan was wearing very thin, only a thin cyan cloak was approved outside, he leaned back on the chair slightly, looking tired, and the snow-white knee pants inside were exposed under the cloak.
When he saw Yan Zhao coming in, he asked gently, "The wind and rain are so urgent, why did you run outside." β
"It was raining so hard that I couldn't sleep. Yan Zhao blew out his lantern, sat down on the chair opposite Gu Changlan, picked up the leftover pies on the table to eat, and observed Gu Changlan with candlelight.
Gu Changlan's voice was vague when he spoke just now, although the tone of his voice had not changed, it seemed to be a strong spirit, something was wrong.
She often followed Gu Changlan to run around, and she knew very clearly the tone and mood of his voice.
Under the light, Gu Changlan was like a statue carved in white jade, his face was handsome, quiet and cold, but his face was a little pale, and when he looked closely, his forehead, the tip of his nose, and his lips were covered with fine beads of sweat.
She remembered that when she was at the inn before, Song Cheng said that Gu Changlan was weak and had night sweats and old diseases, and tonight's appearance was somewhat similar to that night.
On that snowy night, he was also dressed so thinly.
It's hard to be poisoned!
Yan Zhao's heart jumped, the pie in her hand rolled to the ground, shattering the scum on the ground, her heart "bang" jumped, and she hurriedly bent down to pick up the pie on the ground, and only straightened up when she calmed down.
She asked cautiously, "Lord Gu, are you poisoned?"
"Yes. Gu Changlan replied softly, half-closing his eyes a little uncomfortably.
"Then the prince has a good rest, and I won't bother. Yan Zhao didn't know what kind of poison Gu Changlan had in, and it didn't seem to be comfortable.
Not daring to disturb his rest, Yan Zhao hurriedly got up and said goodbye, thinking that after going back, he would ask Song Cheng to take Gu Changlan's pulse.
Gu Changlan waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay, you talk about things with Song Cheng, I'll listen." β
Yan Zhao's heart jumped up again, she sat down with her chest covered, and secretly said that if her heart jumped like this again, she would have to fall down in a few years.
She took another piece of peach blossom pie in her hand, and took a big bite to surprise herself.
This peach blossom is just opened when the monk in the temple picked it to dry with honey, it is very sweet and delicious, and it also has a faint sweet and sour fragrance of peach blossoms.
"Six years ago, I lost my memory not long ago, and I have been staying in the Qianzhou area, because I can't go anywhere without a household registration, and I don't have any money to dredge, I don't want a flood in Qianzhou, many people died, and some unclaimed ones were piled up in mass graves, ready to be burned together the next day.
I thought to myself at the time, these people are unclaimed, maybe they all have no relatives, so I went to the mass grave to find a person about the same age as me, get a household registration, and go out of Qianzhou, and ended up digging up Song Cheng in a pile of corpses. β
Speaking of this, Yan Zhao put down the pie in her hand, as if remembering the wind with a strong fishy smell and stench that night, she turned those people over one by one, and carefully looked at their heights and faces.
These people have cold skin and a frightening aura on their bodies, they are all weak old people and young children, and some of them are reluctant to die with their eyes wide open.
Yan Zhao became the last person to take a closer look at their faces, and he also became the one who collected them.
She covered their eyes, straightened their clothes, and wanted to dig a pit and bury them all when she found her household registration.
Then she found Song Cheng.
Her figure is naturally not an eight or nine-year-old child, but it looks like a teenager, but there are almost no people who look similar to her, and Song Cheng is the only one who fits.
But when she dragged Song Cheng over, she found that his skin was still soft, although it was cold, it was not as stiff and cold as others.
"I felt that he seemed to be alive, so I poured some water on him, and pinched his man, and after a long time he snorted. Yan Zhao saw that Gu Changlan was listening carefully, and then said: "I originally wanted to bury all the people there, but Song Cheng said no, there will be a plague in the place where there is a disaster, so it is better to burn it safely." β
"That's true. Gu Changlan affirmed.
Yan Zhao said: "After that, I was with Song Cheng, and the household registration I was burned was also found by him." β
She didn't mention the ten-year covenant, it was just a joke.
Then she left the matter of touching the corpse in Qianzhou, and said with flying eyebrows: "After Song Cheng knew that I had amnesia, he took me around to see if he could find any clues, and then we went to many places, and went to southern Jiangsu for winter in winter, and the peaches there were big and sweet in the beginning of summer, and I could go hunting in the mountains, and I also went to Mobei to eat mutton, which was really much better than the capital." β
Song Cheng took her through many mountains and rivers, but they didn't find any clues, they were poor and happy.
Gu Changlan looked at her smiling eyebrows, his heart also became happy, and his ignorance after taking the medicine became less painful.
He asked, "Why did you two go to Linyu last winter?"
Linyu has a huge wind and snowfall, and it has always been a bitter cold place, not a good place to spend winter.
Yan Zhao said: "I was originally going to southern Jiangsu, but Song Cheng said that the places I have been to are nothing new, so it is better to go to Linyu to feel the real snowstorm." β
Gu Changlan frowned invisibly, this Song Cheng was often so angry with Yan Zhao that he had to eat two bowls less, but he didn't want to be a splendid chapter inside, and he had a big idea.
People stay in one place for a long time, no matter how they cover it up, there will be clues to be found, but Song Chengzhi is shrewd, he will never go to the places he has been to again, he does not stay in each place for too long, and most of the time he is on the road.
No wonder the people sent out to visit Yan Zhao all returned in vain.
What made him so guarded, for Yan Zhao, or for himself?
"The prince knows everything after that, and it was only a few months since I met the prince, but I have suffered for several years. When Yan Zhao thought about it, he felt that his whole body was in hot pain, and he muttered.
"It's late at night, Yunman will send you back to rest, and you will return to Beijing tomorrow. Gu Changlan laughed lightly, looked at Yan Zhao and yawned.
"Hmm. Yan Zhao nodded, got up obediently, and Yun Man took her out of the door.
Two uneaten pies were placed on the table, one was dusty, and one was still half left.
Gu Changlan picked up the clean piece, took a bite along the crescent-like gap, and said after a long time: "I can't even taste the sweetness." β
