Chapter 35: Night Detective
The night was deep, and the insects and frogs that chirped at night after the summer were long gone, and it was pitch black all around, only the faint light of the corner lamp in the hand of the smoker barely illuminated the way ahead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe cool breeze of autumn hit, and the hairs on Lin Bining's back stood up, and she couldn't help but tighten the cloak on her body, and walked closer to the smoke.
When the night breeze hit, Feng's mother rubbed her hands, but fortunately, she could go back to rest after a while. I faintly saw that there was a bright light fluttering in the courtyard from far and near, and my heart was furious, this could not be some resentful spirit that Zhou's mother said, and I couldn't help but say: "Who is where?" I'll call out if I don't make a sound. ”
Lin Bining took a few steps closer and said softly, "Mom, don't shout, it's me." ”
Mother Feng saw clearly that it was Lin Bining and Yanyan, not anything else, so she put her mind at ease, and said strangely: "It's so late, why did the eldest lady come out?" ”
"I really shouldn't disturb my mother late at night, but the maid of Linjiang Xuan said that the young master drank a lot of wine in the afternoon and was not very comfortable." As he spoke, Lin Bining looked worriedly in the direction of Linjiangxuan in the south, "If I don't go to Linjiangxuan in person, I will not feel at ease after all, but I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep peacefully at night." It is also inconvenient to alarm the elders, so I want to ask my mother to open the lock, and I will come back as soon as I see it. ”
"This ......" Feng's mother was very embarrassed, it was really unruly to open the second door so late, but seeing Lin Bining's worried appearance, it is normal for brothers and sisters to be affectionate, and the eldest lady also takes care of her family on weekdays, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I will do this for the eldest lady today." But please come back soon, so as not to be discovered. ”
Lin Bining nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Mom." ”
Mother Feng opened the second door, and after they left, she closed the door and guarded nervously in front of the door.
The gate of Linjiangxuan was locked, and Lin Bining didn't call the door if he came secretly, but he remembered that there was a corner door on the west side of the courtyard that was never locked, so he went in through the corner door with Yanyan. The courtyard was quiet, only the lights in the house were still bright, and Lin Bining personally raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Qing Miao heard a knock on the door inside, hurriedly put down the medicine bottle, motioned with her eyes to Qing Yin to cover the person with the quilt, walked quickly to the door, and said in a deep voice: "Who is outside?" I didn't tell you not to wander around tonight. ”
Lin Bining lowered her voice and said, "It's me, open the door quickly." ”
Qing Miao heard that it was the voice of the eldest lady, when the second door of the second watch had already been locked, how could the eldest lady come to Linjiangxuan, hurriedly opened the door, and saw that it was really the eldest lady, and exclaimed: "Why is the eldest lady here?" ”
Lin Bining looked at Qing Miao from head to toe, and when she saw that there was a little injury on her body, she lowered her face and said, "What the hell are you doing?" I don't think you're hurt, why would Qingyin ask me for medicine for you? Could it be that it was the young master who was injured? ”
Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Qing Miao glanced outside and said busily: "The eldest lady doesn't have to worry, the young master is not injured." The door is not the place to talk, Miss, please come in quickly, I will tell Miss in detail about the matter. ”
Lin Bining came into the house, smelled a burst of blood, his heart trembled and hurriedly walked a few steps, saw Lin Changru lying on the bed and settled down, and saw a person lying on the chaise longue covered with a quilt, Qingyin holding the wound medicine next to him, and several basins of blood on the ground, frowning: "What is going on?" ”
Qing Miao sighed and told Lin Bining the truth about Lin Changru's drunkenness and picking up that person, and after hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "You guys are so bold, you dare to hide this kind of thing from me!" ”
Qingyin was so frightened that her legs were weak and she knelt aside: "I didn't mean to deceive the eldest lady, but the young master really didn't want the eldest lady to worry, so he ordered us not to say it." ”
Lin Bining didn't know how, but she was just worried and angry for a while, raised her hand to signal her to get up, and sighed faintly: "You should obey the master's orders, and I don't blame you." ”
At this time, Lin Changru on the bed turned over and vomited, and several people hurriedly took the basin over, and wiped it with a handkerchief after he vomited. Lin Bining remembered that there was still an injured patient in the house, took the towel, and instructed Qing Miao Qingyin: "You go and take care of that person, young master, here is me and Yanyan." ”
Seeing Lin Changru's lips move slightly, as if he was saying something, Lin Bining screamed a few times and didn't wake up, leaning over and hearing him say intermittently: "I can't smell the smell...... My sense of smell is not even as good as that of the sword...... Daddy Sister ...... Sorry ......"
Lin Bining's hand holding the handkerchief tightened, the handkerchief was half-dry, and the water droplets dripped straight on the green skirt, blurring small dark green flowers.
What does it mean to not smell well? What does it mean that the sense of smell is not as good as that of the sword?
Lin Bining handed the handkerchief to Yanyan, called Qing Miao and asked her to repeat the afternoon in detail, and then fell into deep thought.
Could it be that Lin Changru has a problem with his nose and his sense of smell is weaker than ordinary people?
Could it be that in his previous life, Lin Changru left the Lin family because of this?
How so!
The nose is the second life of the perfumer, how to recognize incense without smell, how to distinguish incense and how to make incense!
Lin Bining seemed to see Lin Wenliang disappointed and said to Lin Changru that he was not qualified to learn incense, and it was impossible to inherit the Lin family's family business. No! She couldn't let the Lin family fall into the hands of Zhao Yicheng.
But when she saw Lin Changru's brows that were deeply locked even in her sleep, as well as the boundless self-blame and guilt in her whisper, she couldn't help but reflect on whether she was too selfish.
Since April, Lin Changru has less and less smiles on his face, but he has drunk more and more wine, and he has become less playful, and he does not often come to Luomei Courtyard, and there is no longer nothing to talk about between brothers and sisters.
Was she wrong?
Seeing that his young lady had been sitting for a long time, he reminded him: "Miss, it's the third watch, we should go back." ”
Lin Bining thought that Mother Feng was still waiting for them to go back, so she suppressed her worries and got up and said, "Then let's go back." While letting the smoke serve and put on the cloak, he said to Qing Miao and them, "You will stay in the house tonight, the young master is nothing, the person on the chaise longue should pay attention to take care of it, it is not good to burn at night after such a serious injury." Tomorrow we will think of a way, why not ask a doctor to take a look. ”
Qing Miao Qingyin nodded in response, Lin Bining saw the basins of blood and blood-stained clothes and handkerchiefs again, and thought for a while: "While there is no one, you quietly pour that dirty water, although it is convenient to burn those clothes and handkerchiefs, but for fear that the fireworks will attract suspicion from others, it is better to bury them under the tree behind at night, remember to bury them deeper, people who don't often leave there should not be discovered." Wait for the next house to burn some incense to disperse the smell, and tomorrow morning the young master will get up and move people to the bed and put down the tent, so as not to let people find out that there are people hidden in the house. ”
Lin Bining gave a careful order, and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he and Yiyan left Linjiangxuan from the corner gate and rushed to the second gate.
