I had breakfast in the private room with my majesty, and I stayed for a long time without saying anything, and I had nothing to do. I tried my best to endure the yawning again and again, and the water that had been hazy in front of me that could not be wiped dry was the sequelae of not sleeping well last night. Fortunately, it didn't affect my appetite much, and I held my head with one hand, and sometimes I could secretly close my eyes, and I could send pastries to my mouth numbly.

From the beginning, His Majesty lowered his head and looked at something like a secret letter, and somewhere he caught a glimpse of my hidden movements, and said slowly, "When you're tired, go back to your room and sleep." ”

I half-opened my eyes, as if I had been granted amnesty, "Don't you have another itinerary today?" ”

His Majesty seemed to pause for a moment, "Yes." ”

I also want to stay with His Majesty as an eagle dog for the first day, so naturally I have to be a little more attentive. Where is he and where I am, rub my shoulders when I am tired, pour tea when I am thirsty, and take care of my parents' love for food and clothing in order to live a comfortable life.

But I'm not in a good state now, and my majesty is tolerant and generous, so it shouldn't be bad for this day? Then I rejoiced, grabbed two mung bean cakes in my hand, and went back to my room.

After laying out the quilt, I slept for a long time, and when I got up, I was just in time for dinner. However, after walking around the inn and outside, I didn't see the figure of His Majesty, and I asked Xiao Er to ask, only to know that he had gone out.

Gone out?

I was at a loss for a moment when I got the news, and I thought that indeed, His Majesty would not be able to take me with him wherever he went.

I was a little depressed for a while, I was unfamiliar with life here, and I didn't dare to run around, so I had nowhere to pass the time. Walked to the second floor and picked a place near the window to stay, biting the cup and suddenly doing nothing.

Xiao Er saw me sit down, came to fill me with tea, I put the cup away, tilted my head to watch the steaming water continue to brew into the cup, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, are there tenants with children in the inn?" When I was just going to bed, there were always people moving around the windowsill, tossing and turning people so that they couldn't sleep. ”

Xiao Er's expression was confused: "There are no such guests." ”

I sneered at him, warmed my hands with tea, and said casually: "It's not a child moving around, what else can it be?" Monster? ”

Xiao Er held the teapot for a while, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly became delicate.

I watched his hand clench, and my heart suddenly shuddered. I was especially afraid of this, so I swept his wide eyes, and the cold sweat on his back quickly covered him layer by layer, and he stammered when he spoke: "You, why don't you squeak!" ”

Only then did he laugh, with a hint of pride after deliberately scaring people, and returned to a plain and honest appearance: "It's probably a child nearby, I'll help you ask, I won't let him disturb you again." ”

It took me a long time to recover, and I waved my hand angrily: "Scaring people in broad daylight!" Forget it, I'm good at talking, but my brother is very light sleep, just don't let that kid make trouble again. ”

Xiao Er belched twice and left with the teapot.

……

After nightfall, the restaurant is lit with lights, and the tea customers on the second floor are sparse, and the lights are sparse, and it is still dim.

I had some dinner by myself, and I didn't know if I was frightened during the day, and I didn't dare to stay alone in the room, so I planned to sit outside for a while, and borrowed a book from the shopkeeper, and turned it through the lamp, while waiting for His Majesty to come back.

In the evening, someone in the restaurant came to read, and he was an old gentleman who ran the field, wearing an old green robe and a little poor.

Downstairs, some children gathered in the hall from time to time, paid one or two copper plates for tea, and sat there in groups of three or five without making noise or noise, relishing and listening.

Not long after, the old gentleman touched his gray beard, woke up and patted the wood, and his voice lengthened to speak. I listened attentively for a while, only to realize that it was all old-fashioned and bluffing ghost stories, and Ah Hua had already told me more exciting ones when I was a child.

I was not interested at first, but then I listened to it, but it also touched my mind, and I was shocked and scared for a while, but I didn't read the book at all.

Just as the storyteller was gushing about the beautiful female ghost pestering the scholar and causing him to die of a serious illness, I was so restless that I stirred my fingers and poured cold water on it, but a female voice suddenly appeared in the audience, and her tone was soft: "This is very strange." What does that female ghost have to pester a soft scholar? It's not fun to do anything. Pick a camp at random, tsk, there are a lot of resources. Change two another day, and you don't have to hurt anyone. ”

Fun?

It took me a breath to react, and I squirted out a sip of tea, nearly choking myself to death.

Ouch my mother, isn't this the legendary female hooligan!

One coughed red-faced, and the other rescued the shopkeeper's book, originally thinking that the next big scene would be unmanageable and embarrassing. However, none of the scattered young listeners in the hall had such a reaction as me, and they were all as attentive as usual, and their small eyes were shining brightly at the old gentleman.

I wondered, I looked left and right, could it be that the folk customs of Xiancheng were open, I didn't know before? He wiped his mouth stupidly, and held up a solemn and solemn "I didn't understand anything" and "Even if I did, what's the big deal", and listened again.

There is one and there are two, and the soft female voice has come out a few times, and it is still not shocking and endless. I was not as strong as the others came, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I walked towards the railing on the second floor. Scanning down, there were mostly twelve or thirteen-year-old children sitting in the hall, and there was no woman who matched the age of the voice.

Could it be the blind spot of the azimuth line of sight? I leaned over the railing and tilted my head to look behind the pillars on the first floor.

"What are you ......" someone said behind him, "what are you doing?" ”

When I heard this, I turned around and saw that it was His Majesty and laughed, as if my mood suddenly brightened: "Brother, you are back!" ”

Ning Sheng's face was a little tired, contrary to my joy, and he hummed unhurriedly, and sat down in my previous position: "Don't lean against the railing, stand here." ”

I obediently stepped forward and scalded the teacup before serving him a cup of hot tea. Keenly perceiving the gloom in his tone, the joy in his heart sank, changed to a calmer face, and looked at his slightly pale face without moving: "Brother came back so late, did you have dinner?" ”

"Not yet, let's eat some later." His Majesty picked up the teacup, his eyes were cloudy under the lamp, and he glanced at me, "You must not be hungry, have you already eaten?" ”

I choked for a moment and sneered: "Brother Mingjian." ”

His Majesty sighed casually, lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

I lowered my hand and looked at him for a long time, and whispered: "Brother went out today, but did you encounter something?" ”

"It's not a big deal." He held the cup in one hand, his jade-like fingertips rubbed against the rim of the cup, and his wrist rested on the table at will, "It has nothing to do with you." But I'm late to come back this time, and it's negligent to leave you alone and unattended. I'll go buy two maids tomorrow, and if I'm not there, I'll have someone to accompany you. ”

I looked at his hand, and my mind was unstable. His Majesty is picky, although people are more or less accommodating outside, but outsiders' things, he has always been able to do without them, and even more so, his wrist directly touches the old pear wood table in the teahouse - it can be seen that his heart is indeed not here now.

"No, it doesn't have to be...... It turned out that I was outside, and a few strangers followed, and I felt uncomfortable. He glanced at him and whispered, "Brother, where can I take me?" You've left me behind, aren't you worried? ”

His Majesty's eyes swept over and sneered, "You are such a big person, what is there to worry about?" ”

I said solemnly: "There are many teeth in the city, and young girls like me, who look gentle and lovely, are very in demand." My brother is still worried about me, and it is better to worry about it. ”

His Majesty raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a seemingly smiling and intriguing expression, but he didn't say anything at all, and finally said: "It depends on the situation, and I will take you with me when it is convenient." ”

I knew that the loosening of His Majesty's sentence "depending on the situation" meant that it should be inherited, and I hid my joy and paced him and sat down opposite him.

On the self-cultivation of eagle dogs, that is: the eyesight sees the position, the joy of His Majesty, and the worry of His Majesty. I should have volunteered to solve problems for His Majesty, but His Majesty had never revealed his heart to me, and in his previous life, there had been many years of separation, so he didn't make it clear that I didn't talk much, so I could only sell my belief.

His majesty stopped talking, the atmosphere was not right, and I didn't have a good chatter, the two sat in a daze.

The storyteller in the hall raised his voice, presumably to get excited at the end. I remembered that my majesty was in a bad mood, and I listened attentively, but I couldn't listen to it at all, and the sound seemed to pass through my ears, and I didn't leave the slightest impression.

At a loss, His Majesty opened his mouth and ordered: "You go to sleep first." ”

I looked back in amazement, my face stiffening.

It seems that His Majesty is really panicked this time, and wants to stay alone. However, I, a person who really slept for a day and only got up, at this point, how can I sleep after eating just now?

I peeked at His Majesty from the corner of my eye several times, and I had the courage to fight, but I still felt that there was a risk of being disliked when I opened my mouth to bargain with him at this moment, so I could only follow his mind as much as possible, and got up and went back to the room.

There was nothing to do left and right, so he was crooked on the couch in a daze.

There was some wind in the night, and I didn't close the window because of the cold, and the night breeze swept by, and the coolness was pleasant.

Not long after, a cool breeze turned sharply, swept the hall, and the candle flame that had just been lit on the table shook twice, and it was precarious in an instant.

My hands, which were beating the clap on my lap, stiffened, and I was thinking about whether I should get up and move the candlestick to another position, when the tiny flame on the lamp oil jumped twice in the wind and went out with a pop......

It took about two breaths for the moonlight to shine in. My mind was chaotic and thought of something unnecessary, my scalp gradually became numb, my whole body was tense, and after a while, I didn't dare to get up, and went straight into the quilt.

The bead curtain moved, and the cold wind passed for a while. Suddenly, a voice faintly came through the screen: "Mother, you can scare me!" The thin and soft voice, as if really frightened, gasped softly.

At first, I didn't think it was someone talking in the house, but I thought that the thin layer of walls in the inn couldn't stop any movement, and hearing someone nearby made me not so scared.

Immediately realized that this voice sounded strange, wasn't it the female disciple?
