Chapter 43: Encountering Three Lives (9) Three Lives
I see all the small movements of the proprietress in my eyes, if I had been in the past, I might have made righteous accusations, but after staying in the world for a long time, I have a certain understanding of human nature, but I can understand her. Boss Chen and his wife are not rich and noble, they are just ordinary people who rely on labor to eat, and it is not easy to raise Xiaopang, how can they accept a child who is not related by blood.
Xiao Dong looked down at the pot of flowers in his arms, half-narrowing his eyes. No matter what Chubby said, she just nodded slightly, Chubby thought she was too sad, but he didn't know what else to say to comfort her, and scratched the back of his head irritably, hoping to get some inspiration.
I patted Xiao Dong on the shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Dong, is it okay for my sister to send you back to Sister Sansheng's house?" ”
Xiao Dong looked up at me with a confused look in his eyes. After a while, she shook her head: "No, don't bother my sister, I know the way." ”
I smiled slightly: "What then?" I like Xiaodong, so I want to send it to you. ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Dong's eyes, and it dimmed again in an instant, "I'm a child without a father and a mother, what's there to like?" ”
Xiaopang's cheeks puffed out when he heard this, and he clenched his fists and said: "Who said that, Xiaodong, you are good-looking, kind-hearted, and can fold beautiful paper lanterns, which is very popular." ”
Xiao Dong lowered his head and kept his voice silent.
I touched Xiao Dong's fluffy little head and pretended to think: "I like children with big eyes, Xiao Dong's eyes are big and smart." There is also a sister named Dongge, your name is Xiaodong, there is a word in our name that has the same pronunciation, love house and Wu, so my sister likes Xiaodong very much. ”
Xiao Dong looked at me stunned, tears rolling in his eyes. She hugged the other side flower in her arms tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "That...... Sister Dongge, let's go. ”
I nodded, pulled Xiaodong to stand up, didn't take a few steps, and was stopped by Song Yunjing, who had been silent, "I'm with you." ”
I stopped, Xiao Dong also stood with me, I turned back curiously, Song Yunjing stood there quietly, there was no smile on his face that he was used to seeing, but a rare calm. He stared at me for a long time before he said, "You are a weak woman, a small child, I am not very relieved. ”
Beiqi, who was drinking tea, heard Song Yunjing's words, his arm trembled slightly, the tea choked into his throat, and he couldn't help coughing slightly. He looked at me and Song Yunjing with a smile, and said with fuel on the fire: "It's not moral for you to do this, how can you bear to leave me alone in the inn?" ”
No one paid attention to his words, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while. Chubby didn't seem to understand how we who were smiling a moment ago could become like this in an instant, and his face was full of doubts. Boss Chen and his wife are accustomed to looking at colors, so they hurriedly got up and hugged Xiaopang back to the room.
I said, "You're not reassured?" What are you worried about? Daochang Song, I'm not a fool, I don't feel anything at all. Although I don't know the reason, since the Huaiyang incident, the way you and Murong Chuan look at me has become very strange. You keep an eye on me all the time, it was Murong Chuan who ordered you, right? I'm afraid I'll accidentally swallow you? ”
Feeling the faint anger in my body, Xiao Dong held my hand tighter.
Song Yunjing showed a casual smile, leaned in front of me and said with a smile: "If you really stay in the world for a long time, when did you learn to speculate on other people's thoughts?" It's still so malicious. ”
I wasn't particularly angry at first, but Song Yunjing's inexplicable attitude made me even more angry. I couldn't help sneering: "Am I not malicious speculation, you know very well in your heart, since you want to follow me so much, just follow me, you have to see it with your own eyes to rest assured, right?" ”
Song Yunjing's face changed a few times, but he still tried his best to maintain his previous smile. This made me wonder if what I just said was a bit excessive, but I didn't mean to say it so aggressively, but I couldn't control it as soon as I said it. I never got angry easily when I was in Yunze Lake before, and I have always been able to control my emotions very well, but my temper seems to have become worse and worse since I came to the world.
I glanced at him casually, and saw that he didn't seem to take my words to heart, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I was really embarrassed to apologize to him, and I didn't want to show weakness, so I had to put on a cold expression.
Xiao Dongrou's soft fingers clenched in my palm, and there was a sticky sweat. I just remembered that I must have been a little fierce and frightening, and it scared this ignorant little girl. I don't know if it's too late to save my previous gentle and amiable image in her heart, so I gently brushed away the broken hair on Xiao Dong's forehead, "Let's go." ”
Song Yunjing was always two steps behind us, and I occasionally felt a faint gaze fall on me. When I came back to my senses, I regretted the serious consequences of the momentary fever in my head. I obviously know that Song Yunjing is a Taoist priest with good roots, and it is not easy to accept me as a foreign race, and it is also a matter of course to be defensive against me, so why should I be so angry? In addition, he only obeys his senior brother, if it is his senior brother's orders, of course he will carry it out without hesitation, and I should blame Murong Chuan.
Just as I was swaying from side to side because of this, and the more I thought about it, the more entangled I became, Xiao Dong gently shook my arm, "It's here, Sister Dongge." ”
"Oh. Arrived? "I was busy cheering up, and when I looked up, there was a double-storey wooden building in front of me, which was the most traditional architectural style, with flying eaves and corners, and it only felt the same from the outside, and there was nothing special about it. Passers-by would not have noticed it when they passed by the door, and if they knew that there was a non-human living in this wooden building, they would not know how to feel.
I was a little uneasy, and glanced back at Song Yunjing behind me. He frowned, thoughtful. I squeezed Xiao Dong's hand and was about to continue walking forward, when Song Yunjing suddenly grabbed me from behind, and I looked at him in surprise. A teasing smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "What, are you scared?" ”
I turned my head awkwardly: "Didn't you just know me, I'm so powerful, who have you been afraid of?" ”
He smiled noncommittally, stepped forward, and stopped me behind him.
The moment I stepped into the wooden building, I couldn't even breathe. The flowers on the other side are things that bloom on both sides of Huangquan Road, and because of its preconceived image, I always feel that the yin energy here is much heavier than that of other places. I didn't care much about it, so I carefully tugged at Song Yunjing's sleeve and said softly: "It's obviously daylight outside, but the light inside is so dark?" Isn't there a problem? ”
Xiao Dong turned his head to look at me and explained clearly: "Sister Sansheng said that Manzhu Sawa can't be exposed to the sun, so she specially redesigned the house, and built some sheds on all sides of the yard to block the sun.
I looked up at the dark corridor and realized that I was indeed thinking a little more. His face was embarrassed, "......., hehe, I see." ”
I felt Song Yunjing's sleeves tremble slightly, and after a while, I heard a muffled laugh in front of me. Although Song Yunjing couldn't see behind him, I still glared at him.
Passing through the road, I was shocked by the strange scene in front of me, the flowers on the other side of the house were in full swing all over the pavilion, and the width of a path was left on the ground except for people to walk, and there were red flowers on the other side everywhere clustered together. I think that the description of Chubby is simply too inadequate, if this scene is seen by people who are afraid of denseness, they are afraid that they will get sick on the spot. But it is undeniable that it is very beautiful, and it is said that the more beautiful things are, the more deadly, if you make a ranking, the other side flower can be the first, and the enchanting femme fatale can only be in second.
A gust of wind struck, blowing the flowers on the other side slightly scattered and swaying, like rippling red waves. At this time, out of the opposite room came a slender, fair-skinned, white-dressed woman in a white dress, with long hair running vertically to her knees, like a waterfall flowing straight down, and no brilliant headdress on her head, just a flower on the other side of the bank inserted between the buns that were pulled up at will. She stood there, her drooping robe swaying gently, a slight smile on her lips.
I muttered, "Three lives? ”
She was not surprised at all when she saw two strangers appear in her yard. In the lush sea of flowers, I saw her beckoning to Xiao Dong, and said in a cool but not cold voice: "Xiao Dong, I have arranged your room, you can go and have a look." ”
Xiao Dong nodded lightly and said 'um'. She let go of my hand and said glutinously, "Thank you, Sister Dongge, for sending me." Then he hugged the pot and ran briskly to the backyard with the other side flower that had not left him for a moment.
There was silence in the courtyard for a while, and no one spoke first, not because I was proud of my identity and deliberately pretended to be cold, but I really didn't know what to say. As for why Song Yunjing and Sansheng didn't speak, I don't know.
Just when I thought that the three of us would remain in such a state and become statues, Sansheng's voice sounded faintly: "It is really rude to have a distinguished guest from afar, who has not sorted out his appearance and is waiting to greet him." ”
Song Yunjing raised his eyes and smiled quietly: "I have admired the name of the girl of Sansheng for a long time, and it is an honor to see it today." ”
I said, "......."
Every time you meet someone, it's a similar conversation, don't you get bored?
Sansheng lowered his eyelashes slightly, and his eyes reflected the cremated flowers in front of him. The smile on the corner of her mouth was even stronger, and she couldn't hear the emotion and said, "If you can, it's best not to see it." ”
Song Yunjing nodded with deep sympathy, and then shook his head regretfully, "It's best not to see nature, but it's a pity that I have already met it." ”
Sansheng's expression has not changed in any way, and he still has such a touching smile: "It will not be a mistake to meet it, the vast sea of thousands of people, to be able to meet from it, is just a fateful word." ”
I have never met a woman like Sansheng, who speaks in a profound and obscure way that makes me incomprehensible. I decisively gave up the extravagant hope of understanding her conversation with Song Yunjing, and bowed my head and legs to myself.
Sansheng chuckled softly, "I was negligent, please two of you." ”
