Chapter 23: "Fire"

"It's a little hot. ”

No wonder he has been talking nonsense today, and his face is much more unnatural than usual, and he is really sick.

Her cold little hand softened the temperature on Ye Chi's forehead, but he smiled and shook his head, holding her hand, deciding not to wait any longer: "You...... Do you really have nothing to say to me?"

Kaoru Tai looked down at the hand he was holding, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart for some reason, but he was quickly forgotten by her, and nodded slowly: "Are you okay, don't you really want to go to the hospital to see?"

There was no expression on her face, but there was even a little concern in her eyes. Ye Chi decided that she had hidden this shyness well, and shook his head with a soothing expression, "What you said to Changsu last night, I accidentally overheard. ”

Hearing this, Kaoru Yutai was stunned for a moment, and said without sadness or joy: "You know?"

Ye Chi nodded with a smile.

"Oh...... Changsu also told me not to sue you, it seems that there is no need. ”

He was looking at him eagerly, but when he heard it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, it was obviously Kaoru Yutai who was shy, why did he even get into Changsu?

"What did you say to Changsu?" he wondered.

"Didn't you already hear that?" Kaoru Tantai looked at him carefully, and sure enough, his mind was still not clear, "He also knows that you are not suitable for martial arts training, so please let me dispose of all the weapons you added." From now on, you will be your state pastor with peace of mind. ”

“……”

Ye Chi was silent for a while, thinking about Changsu's expression at that time, as if he was indeed a little embarrassed. He gently let go of her hand and began to wonder if he had misunderstood something, rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What about you...... Did you say who you like?"

"Huh?" Kaoru didn't quite understand what he was talking about, tilting her head to think about what she said at the time, "I said I liked those weapons very much, and if you didn't want them, I would take them." ”

“……”

"Any questions?"

"......" Ye Chi sat silently in front of the desk, "Let me be alone for a while." ”

Kaoru Yutai blinked, obediently went out of the house and closed the door, and didn't forget to ask before leaving: "Are you really not going to the hospital to have a look?"

“…… No. ”

***

Soon, the two letters sent by Master Tang were confirmed by Ye Chi, and they were indeed from Le Tong's father, who clearly explained the matter of his adopted daughter, and all the things of the Le family belonged to Le Tong, and Le Longyang could only take a thousand taels at most.

This news can be described as a bolt from the blue for Le Longyang, and then the merchants who joined forces with him also patted their butts and left. He always doubted the authenticity of this suicide note, but he didn't dare to question Ye Chi, so he withdrew the people guarding outside Lejia on the same day and moved away in disgrace.

After all, it is the second uncle who has been with each other for many years, and with a stroke of his pen, Le Tong gave the other party 3,000 taels plus two boxes of treasures, and completely cleared up the relationship after setting up a note.

Although the relationship between the Tang family and the Lejia family is not good, the two elders have known each other since they were young, and they have made friends with each other. He hid the suicide note for so long at first, and what he was afraid of was Le Tong's immaturity, and Tang Mo saw that sissy really become a woman, sitting on the steps every day and thinking about life.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, it was the day Chu He left, Qinzhou did not change much in a short period of time, and this year is naturally the rhythm of the bottom. After all, he couldn't find out what happened to the poisoning, and Ye Chi didn't mean to pursue it, but just accepted the white jade he had prepared and arranged for him to set off.

After noon, platforms were erected in the downtown area, and the whole street was decorated with red and bright lights. Kaoru Tai led Ah Yao to knock on Ye Chi's door, but there was no response inside, until Chang Su heard the sound and came to know that he had gone out.

Ah Yao lowered his head in disappointment: "Isn't Lord Ye here?"

He said he wanted to be alone. Kaoru Yutai was also a little puzzled, "But he has been quiet for three days." ”

Since that day's conversation, Ye Chi has inexplicably stopped talking nonsense, but then he has other problems, and he is often in a daze. One time, she happened to come back from outside, glanced at the table, and was surprised to find that Ye Chi still had the last word she wrote in her hand.

She also thought that he had taken it that time to throw it away.

"Sister, let's go find Lord Ye. ”

Ah Yao raised his head expectantly and kept leading her outside. The streets are really lively, although they are not as prosperous as the big city, but they are also lit up and brightly lit during the New Year's holidays.

Most of the people who came and went on the street were families, but there were also many young men and women. Yutai Kaoru walked around and felt bored, and he didn't find Ye Chi, so he took Ah Yao to find a table in the teahouse and sit down, asking for some snacks to rest for a while.

Ah Yao's little face was red by the lantern, and he said brightly: "Do you know the origin of Qixi Festival?"

Kaoru Tandai replied, "Yes." ”

"Then do you want to buy something for Lord Ye?"

After hearing this, Kaoru Tai frowned slightly, leaned over and pressed Ah Yao's shoulder, and pondered, "Are you...... Are you trying to match me and Ye Chi?"

"You've finally found out. Ah Yao rubbed his head, "Don't you like Lord Ye?"

"I didn't think about it. Kaoru looked at him seriously and said word for word, "My goal is to go to the capital to be an official, although it may take many years, but this is my mother's wish." ”

Ah Yao lowered his head silently, and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but at this time, a person hurriedly came in from outside, and when he saw them, he was stunned for a moment, and flashed into the box behind him.

Kaoru Yutai was a little surprised, she thought that at this time, Le Tong should be drinking with Mei Ji in her arms in the flower building, but she didn't expect that she would hide here as if she was fleeing. As expected, soon another person chased after her, it was Tang Mo who followed her, looked around and didn't see anyone, frowned and stepped forward and asked, "Lord Shantai, have you seen Le Tong?"

After many days, most of the lumps on his face had disappeared, and his handsome cheeks with sharp chiseles had been restored, holding a package, obviously chasing Le Tong. Kaoru Tai was thinking about whether to answer, but Ah Yao suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the long street outside the teahouse, raised his head and said, "See, she went over there just now." ”

Tang Mo finally smiled, rubbed Ah Yao's head and said, "Good boy, I will invite you to tea next time." ”

After he left in a hurry, Le Tong walked out from behind the curtain, still in a man's outfit, and his long hair tied up high looked heroic. She sat down as if relieved, smiled with Ah Yao, and said gently: "Thank you two, I invited you to this meal." ”

Kaoru Tandai stared at her for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Do you hate him very much?"

"It's not a nuisance. Le Tong leisurely called Xiao Er to serve a pot of tea, laughing sarcastically, "This person will send me things at two ends in three days, and he also threatened to go to my house to propose marriage, and his brain is estimated to have been kicked by a donkey." ”

"But I don't think you hate him. "Kaoru Yutai is not sad or happy, "Tang Mo is simple-minded, with your means, it is not difficult to kill him, but you have never made a move." ”

"I didn't do it because I was afraid of his father. Le Tong smiled at her, although the habit of dressing has not changed, but after all, the identity has been revealed, and he no longer throws away the mirror as before, but shows a different charm, raised his eyebrows and said, "Today is the seventh day of the new year, why is Lord Ye not with you?"

Kaoru shook her head and said, "I don't know where he went." ”

Le Tong smiled without saying a word, rolled up her sleeves and added a cup of tea for her, and suddenly heard a noise on the street, and many people ran in one direction at the same time, I don't know what happened.

When there are many people, it is inevitable that something will happen, and Yutai Kaoru is also accustomed to this, so he asked Ah Yao to sit here and not move, and immediately set off to mediate, but halfway through, he saw many Tang family and Lejia family members running out, all of them looking frightened.

At this time, Le Tong couldn't sit still, so he chased after Ah Yao, grabbed one of them, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The little guy's face turned dark, and he was so anxious that he hugged his head, and said intermittently: "There was a fire on the Tang family's side, what should I do, my son-in-law is still inside......!

Halfway through speaking, the little girl realized that Le Tong was standing in front of him, staring at her up and down in disbelief, and tears filled her eyes with excitement: "Childe, it's great that you're okay, I didn't even see when you ran out......"

"What, you said that the Tang family was on fire?!" Le Tong frowned, looked at Kaoru Tai, and explained, "I ran out of the Tang family just now, Mr. Tang invited us to dinner, and Lord Ye also went to ......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Yutai Kaoru hurrying in the direction of the Tang family, leaving only one sentence, "You take care of Ah Yao."

I don't know when the outside of the Tang Mansion was full of people, but fortunately, the place where the fire broke out was just a separate courtyard, and it was discovered in time and did not cause a tragedy. The people of the Tang family ran out one by one, and the dusty Tang master was also helped out, but Ye Chi was nowhere to be seen.

The orange-red firelight came into her eyes, and the memories buried in her mind also stinged her clearly at this time, and the whole person was tense to the point of trembling, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.

At that moment, she seemed to see the person who had pushed her out of the fire, and told her not to be afraid, but when she turned back again, only a sea of fire engulfed her was left in front of her, and she was no longer seen the other party.

It's so scary that it's suffocating.

Kaoru Tantai didn't have time to ask why the fire occurred, so he just rushed to ask step by step, "What about Ye Chi?"

The Tang family was busy fighting the fire, saying that everyone had come out in time, and they all shook their heads to say that they didn't see Ye Chi. Kaoru Tantai looked at the sea of fire in front of him, and suddenly grabbed a bucket of water and poured it down from the top of his head, wetting his whole body, wearing a red dress clinging to his body, and the tips of his hair were still dripping. She was a little nervous, and rushed into the Tang Mansion without thinking, but her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.

When she turned her head, she saw Ye Chi standing beside her, holding a box of balls in her hand, and said in some astonishment: "Shantai, why are you soaked?"

Kaoru Tantai looked at him in a daze, the clammy and cold air made her shiver, pointing to the sea of fire, shocked to the point of low voice: "You...... Isn't it in there?"

Ye Chi nervously took off his coat, draped it on her body, smiled warmly at her, shook his head and said, "Quickly put on my clothes, don't catch a cold." The Tang family's dinner has long been dispersed, and just now I lined up a long way to buy Sixi balls, and I wanted to give you a taste, but unfortunately there was only the last ...... when it came to me."

Kaoru Tantai suddenly slapped him.
