Gently looking back at the faint shadow of the screen opposite the bed, Yin Nuan didn't dare to make a sound. He kept a posture until his whole body was stiff, he still didn't think about moving, but silently counted the beatings in the middle of the night in his heart, counting the time passing little by little.

Until around the ugly hour, in the extremely quiet space, there was a sudden sound of very light footsteps outside.

Then there was the sound of the door being pushed open, as if afraid to wake him, and it was very soft. If Yin Nuan hadn't been paying attention, he would have ignored the past. Then the water slave walked up to the cloister, and the faint sound of footsteps suddenly stopped after two sounds.

Yin Nuan suddenly felt a little inexplicably weak and nervous. He subconsciously pressed it on his heart, as if he wanted to make the sound of his heartbeat lower so that he could hear the footsteps of the water slave more clearly.

The sound of beating came again and again, Yin Nuan suddenly became worried, the night was cold, the water slave was standing at the tuyere of the cloister like that, her body was thin, what if she contracted the wind cold? Is she standing or sitting? Will she be tired?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and Yin Nuan wanted to get up immediately to see if it was necessary to send her a bed or add a piece of clothing. It's just that he didn't dare, this kind of guilt like peeping into the secrets of other people's hearts made him more sober and hope that time would pass faster.

The window gradually turned gray, and the things in the line of sight became clear little by little, and after hearing that someone had started to move, Yin Nuan didn't think about it, turned over and dragged his shoes out.

The door was indeed hidden, and after Yin Nuan pushed the door open, the figure outside the door seemed to be startled by him.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"Sister, you?"

The two spoke together, and stopped at the same time, Yin Nuan smiled first: "It's stuffy in the house, and it's cooler outside." ”

The water slave also smiled lightly: "The child family thinks the same." ”

Like every ordinary morning, yesterday's long night was a dream.

Yunyanzhai, after Shumo sorted out some of the scrolls, when he went out, he saw Wang Yunshu leaning against the courtyard gate and looking out of the door. And this action has not changed for almost two hours, and he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Lang Jun, are you waiting for something?"

Because Wang Yunshu looked at the expression outside the courtyard gate, he almost felt a sense of anticipation.

"And so on. Wang Yunshu nodded.

"Wait for someone?" said Shumo. "Who is Lang Jun waiting for?

Wang Yunshu still didn't look back and said: "The servant has already been there, and I can't force her anymore." Whether to come or not to come this time is her right. ”

"Oh. Shumo didn't seem to understand, and after a few curious glances outside the door, he went back to the house and continued to pack his things.

After that, another hour or so passed. A figure finally appeared at the gate of the courtyard, a gray shirt, standing there thin and slender, as if it would disappear at any moment.

When the figure appeared, Wang Yunshu's somewhat apprehensive heart suddenly relaxed, and he stepped forward a few steps, a little eagerly to meet him.

"Water slave lady. Wang Yunshu said, "You're here?"

"Hmm. The water slave bowed shallowly, "Biao Langjun." ”

Wang Yunshu turned sideways and said, "Water slave lady, come into the house and sit!"

"No need. The water slave shook his head. The servant only said a few words and left. ”

The nervousness that had just been put down was raised again, Wang Yunshu felt a little uneasy in his heart, but his face was extremely calm and gentle: "Water slave lady, please speak." ”

The water slave paused, and said directly: "Cousin Langjun, can the servant ask you a question?"

"Hmm. Wang Yunshu nodded and said sincerely, "Water slave lady, please speak." ”

The water slave paused for another moment and asked seriously: "The way of life described by the cousin Langjun before, the maid also yearns for it. However, the feeling that Biao Langjun said is the only person in his life, and the servant is stupid. And I don't realize it. So, is Langjun still willing to take his servant with him?"

I'm afraid I can't deceive myself if I'm not disappointed, but it's more about gratitude and peace of mind. Grateful to her for telling her calmly, relieved that she finally promised.

"The servant is glad to do it. Wang Yunshu smiled lightly. "Since the water slave lady promised to be willing to think about it, what the servant is most afraid of is that you won't go with me after thinking about it. This place is unpredictable, and it can take you away and protect you for the rest of your life. ”

The water slave didn't know how he left Yunyanzhai. The future vesting has been decided. It should be relieved, shouldn't it?

Because he obviously has no regrets, at first he wanted to stay by Yin Nuan's side and watch him grow up safely, but now that he has grown up and has the ability to protect himself, there is no reason to stay by his side anymore.

I should have left a long time ago, but I subconsciously ignored this problem, so now I just have this opportunity, and I just leave as a matter of course, isn't it?

There are too many thoughts turning in my head, and I take every reason for granted, but I always feel like something has fallen in my heart.

"Sister!"

It was obviously a gentle, almost murmuring low voice, but the water slave felt that the voice seemed to be clear to the depths of his mind. She turned around and saw that at the gate of the Taoyuan courtyard next to Si Yuan, Yin Nuan looked at her quietly.

There were a lot of things I wanted to explain and what I wanted to say, but suddenly I felt that all of them were meaningless. The sunlight shone directly on the two of them, Shui Nuan raised his head slightly, put his hand on his forehead, looked at Yin Nuan and said softly: "Nuan Nuan, if I leave, you must take care!"

“…… Good. Yin Nuan nodded, "Sister too, you must cherish it!"

Around the end of the day, the sun is about to set, the day's sultry heat gradually dissipates, and the cool breeze hits, which is quite refreshing. After this period of recuperation, Xie's health has improved, and Yin Nuan went to the courtyard where she lived and walked with her in the courtyard.

"Mother, are you tired?" Yin Nuan helped Xie Shi and asked softly as he walked.

"It's a bit tired. Xie said, "Let's go to the pavilion over there!"

"Good. ”

The gazebo was covered with curtains on all sides, and the breeze blew and the curtains fluttered gently. Yin Nuan helped Xie sit down on the couch in the pavilion, and the maidservant hurriedly brought the herbal tea.

Xie Shi took a drink, rested for a while, turned back and asked Yin Nuan:

"Ah Nuan, but do you have something on your mind?"

"Huh?" Yin Nuan said, "Why did Grandma ask like that?"

Xie Shi said: "You and I are mother and son, even if others can't see it, can't I see it? What's wrong, but what kind of difficult knot did I encounter?"

Yin Nuan shook her head and said in a low voice: "Mother, I want to give the water slave freedom and let her leave." ”

Xie Shi said: "What my son said, who in your courtyard didn't stay voluntarily? ”

The world is difficult, if you meet a master with a violent personality, people are naturally inferior to animals, but if you meet a gentle master like Yin Nuan, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, it is better than being wandering outside. (To be continued.) )
