Come to me at night?

I felt a big headache when I heard it, I was injured in the past few days, and people's spirits were not good, Yan Ruoyu was also right, there was a big battle to fight tomorrow, so I originally thought that I could have a good rest tonight.

I said, "So, have you told them everything I asked you to explain?"

Su Su hurriedly said: "Of course, what the eldest lady explained, which time did I not do it well?"

I smiled.

Of course I was relieved of her, but this time the situation was different from any other time, and the stakes were high, and I couldn't be careless.

Since the other party said that he would come to me again at night, it looks like he won't be able to sleep well tonight.

I talked with them for a while, explaining some things to do tomorrow, until the lights were on, and suddenly I heard a gurgling sound, it was the stomach of the fearless monk, and I found out when I asked, they rushed over and didn't even eat. I was so angry and funny that I could only drive him out to eat and rest, but Su Su refused to leave. She was more attentive than the fearless monk, and she had already seen that I had an ankle injury, and I just couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked her to take medicine to re-medicate and bandage the wound.

By the time this qiē was done, it was already dark outside.

I "drove away" her, told her to eat and rest, and then rolled to the bed with a pillow on my own, intending to sleep a little earlier to recuperate.

However, it's really not like you can sleep when you sleep.

I thought about falling asleep and accumulating energy, but I became more and more energetic, and I could not only hear my breathing and heartbeat clearly, but even some sounds outside the house.

The night in the countryside was very quiet, but it was not absolute, and I could hear the yellow dogs barking from time to time in the courtyard of the hunter in the distance, and the cooing of pigeons, and the chirping of birds and insects in the woods, and the rustle of the wind through the leaves.

Normally, such sounds would have brought me to sleep, but tonight - I couldn't help but sigh, seeing that I was getting more and more awake, and it seemed that I wanted to sleep a little earlier to refresh myself.

Just as I was sighing, suddenly, in the quiet of the night, there was a very light footsteps.

I thought it was the man who beat the guard, or the young militia who was out on patrol, but the footsteps seemed heavy and slow, and I paused as I reached the gate of the courtyard, as if hesitating.

Then, walk in from the outside of the yard.

I couldn't help but feel a stir in my heart.

She, is she coming?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly rolled over from the bed, dragged a piece of clothing over my shoulders, and slowly walked to the door, and the footsteps outside also stopped just outside the door, almost a door away from me.

However, there was no sound.

There was no knock, no opening, not even a next move, as if the owner of the footsteps had suddenly disappeared in the doorway.

I was about to reach out to open the door, but one hand was already on the door, but at this moment, I seemed to feel something-I felt the person outside the door standing quietly at the door, his breathing was rapid, his heartbeat was disordered, this qiē was obviously separated by a door, through his body, but it was so clearly transmitted to my heart.

I froze there.

The man outside the door is-

I was quiet all at once.

The whole night seemed to be quiet.

I listened to the man's breathing and heartbeat, and for a moment I didn't know what I should do, open the door, but he didn't even want me to open the door, and kept confronting each other so quietly, but I knew that in a little while, the man was coming.

We can't afford to be at a stalemate like this.

Just as I was about to open the door, suddenly, there was a very soft sound outside, as if someone had put something at the door, and then he stopped again, as if he had glanced at the door, and then, the footsteps sounded again, but it was very clear, and he walked away slowly.

My tense breathing suddenly relaxed.

It wasn't until the footsteps were too far away to be heard that I slowly pulled the deadbolt and opened the door.

Outside, a cold wind blew in, and as expected, it was empty, but when I looked down, I saw a small wooden box being placed in the doorway.

I squatted down to pick it up, and when I opened the lid, I saw that there was a box full of ointment, as clear as clotted fat, and exuding a faint fragrance.

He's here to bring me medicine?

I was a little apprehensive for a moment - during the day, when we met at the head of the village, I had clearly concealed it so well that no one could see that I was injured, so how could I remember to bring me medicine?

I looked at the box of ointment in my hand, smelled the faint fragrance of medicine diffused into the night breeze, and hesitated for a long time before slowly closing the lid back on. The night is getting deeper and deeper, and this is the countryside, naturally it will not be like the Yan family, the lanterns are hung all night under the eaves, but the sound of beating is heard from afar, and it is knocked twice.

The second is more.

I stood at the door, and could only take advantage of the faint candlelight in the room behind me, looking at the dark night in front of me, the empty yard, some mosquitoes flying in circles into the house, and I was a little numb and overwhelmed, after a long time, I felt a little cold to the bone, and then I took a step back, ready to open the door immediately.

And just then, a hand suddenly reached in from the outside and slapped on the door.

Smack.

I was startled for a moment, and saw a particularly hideous mecha hand made of wood and iron, propped up on the door panel, and immediately understood, and when I looked up, I saw a fair, pink face emerging from the night, and a pair of black and white eyes looking at me: "Miss." ”

“……！”

My eyes lit up, and I immediately recognized that this was Tang Ting!

Miss Tang Family.

She was wearing a black tight-fitting night suit, completely blending into the night, but it became more and more that face was pink and delicate, but there was no smile on the baby's face, not even extra temperature, and when she saw my eyes suddenly widen, her attitude was also very cautious: "Don't be afraid, Miss, it's me." ”

"It's you. ”

"Well, the eldest lady asked Miss Su Su to pass the word, and I've been—"

“……”

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

“……”

I still had some palpitations, her face was very pale, she looked at me probably a little worried, but I didn't have time to say anything, I only thought that the person had just left, so I hurriedly went out to look, there was no other movement outside, so I immediately grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into the house, and closed the door.

I plugged in the latch, and the person was still a little gasping, and when I turned around, I saw Tang Ting standing in the middle of the room, and said very calmly: "Don't worry, Miss, I'm very careful all the way, no one will find me." By the way, just now I saw that Pei Yuanxiu outside the door of the eldest lady, and he didn't notice me. ”

"Oh......"

"This, is he at the door of the eldest lady?"

She looked at my hand, carefully took it and opened it, fanned it with her fingers and smelled the smell, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Hmm, the best wound medicine." Miss, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. ”

I was very confused in my heart, firstly, I thought about how Pei Yuanxiu would bring me medicine, and secondly, she suddenly appeared, not to mention anything else, which really scared me, and hurriedly walked to the table and poured a glass of water to drink, and only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Tang Ting still stood beside me and asked, "Is the eldest lady going to ask about Chengdu?"

I glanced up at her, sat down on the edge of the table, and pointed to the other side, "You can sit down first." ”

She nodded, and walked over and sat down.

I took another sip of the water in the cup, finally calmed myself down a little, and then looked up at her: "I asked Su Su to explain what you did, did you do it?"

She hurriedly said: "The order of the eldest lady, of course we dare not slack off. ”

"So, what's the situation in Chengdu?"

"It's all under control. The head of the house also looked for us before leaving, and sent some people to us. With the covert help of the head of the family, we basically controlled Chengdu. ”

"That's good. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although before I left Chengdu, I didn't know that Pei Yuanxiu would send someone to intercept me here, but to be honest, I still have a little understanding of me and his strength - even Pei Yuanhao may not be able to defeat people, I don't think I can deal with it lightly, so this time the Yan family ancestral hall is in a position where I must win.

Then I have to think about what I should do next if I fail here.

There is a saying that is true: everything is foreseen, and everything is wasted.

So, I want to control Chengdu.

Of course, Chengdu has always been under the control of the Yan family, but now in this situation, the Yan family has been clearly divided into several parts, and Yan Qingchen and I must find a way to firmly control Chengdu in our hands, so that even if his position as the head of the family is suppressed, Chengdu is still under control.

Then perhaps, we can solve this matter in Chengdu in Xichuan.

More or less, it may be necessary to use knives.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder secretly, Tang Ting glanced at me, and said softly: "Don't worry, eldest lady, father, as well as Old Man An, Uncle Tie, they have all received the news, and they will go all out to help the eldest lady control the situation." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, looked at me and said, "The eldest lady should rest assured, with us here, the eldest lady will not be harmed." ”

For some reason, many people seem to have said this to me, but when she said this, she was faintly unfeeling, but it calmed me down.

I looked at her big eyes across the candlelight and nodded slightly.

At that moment, a strong wind blew outside, blowing all the windows open, and the candlesticks on the table were blown out with a pop, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.

I hurriedly got up to find the flint, and Tang Ting's voice sounded on the other side: "Miss, don't look for it, I have it here." ”

After speaking, I heard a crackling sound in the darkness, and a few sparks lit up in front of my eyes.

After a while, a little spark burned in front of my eyes, her black mecha hand was raised in the air, the flame seemed to be burning on her fingertips, she slowly sent it to the candlestick, lit the wick, and the small flame flickered and burned.

The firelight illuminated my eyes and her hand.

It seemed to be the first time I had seen her mecha hand so closely, from the elbow to the forearm to the fingertips, it was made of wood and iron, it looked hideous and terrifying, but it had unimaginable flexibility, it was almost like it was born on her.

But I distinctly remember that when she was a child, she had both hands and feet, and she was not installed with such a mecha part.

At this moment, my heart beat suddenly skipped a beat.

I raised my head and looked at her fair and clean face behind the candle flame, the baby's face was a cold and glamorous temperament that was completely inconsistent with her appearance, and I said softly: "Tang Ting." ”

"Huh?"

She also raised her eyes to look at me: "What else does the eldest lady command?"

I said, "When did your hand break?"

Her face froze.

Tang Ting is a very calm person, even if she was in Nian Baoyuze, she and Anyang Gongzi only led a few people to reinforce, in the face of Tu Shuhan's army, she was not a little panicked, it was because of her calm and unhurried attitude that we helped us get through that difficulty.

But this time, I could clearly feel that she was messing up.

I asked myself that I am usually a very knowledgeable and interesting person, and I will not expose other people's wounds, especially now when I see Tang Ting's appearance, my face suddenly changes drastically, as if I was suddenly stabbed, if I usually don't ask questions.

This time, I looked at her fixedly, not blinking.

Under the candlelight, her face slowly turned pale.

After a long time, she raised her head to look at me, and obviously felt that her eyes were also a little flickering: "Miss...... Why did the eldest lady suddenly ask this?"

I smiled a little, but my eyes didn't relax in the slightest, and I looked at her fixedly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something, so I want to ask you." Besides, as the eldest lady of the Tang family, you are pampered, why do you have a mecha hand?"

“…… It's true that I'm pampered and shouldn't have this thing. ”

"Then, why do you have a mecha hand?" I looked into her eyes, and there was a little more inquiry in my gaze: "When did your hand break and why?"

“……”

This time, she fell silent.

I sensed that she was hesitating, but did not urge her, but looked at her pale face and flickering eyes calmly and solemnly, and the room suddenly became quiet, not only in the room, but also outside, not even a trace of wind.

One qiē, all the quiet.

I don't know how long it took, but she finally slowly raised her head to look at me, her gaze as if it were a lake without wind and waves.

She said, "Miss, have you already been to the Sacrifice Cliff?"
