42. There is a cause
Agarwood was startled, opened his eyes and replied:
"Yes." Anyway, you are so idle and still worry about my family's affairs, it's really heartfelt! Agarwood pouted secretly in her heart, hanging her head and standing quietly to one side.
Shen Jingzhong didn't seem to be aware of Agarwood's thoughts, but he was interested, and he continued to ask:
"How?"
Agarwood: Hehe...... You really bother, big men are still so gossipy!
"Brother-in-law's housework, others are not good to interfere, he said to let the eldest sister of the slave maid rest in her mother's house for a few days, clean up the house and then come to pick up the eldest sister back."
A hint of amusement flashed in Shen Jingzhong's eyes, and he said:
"Oh! In this way, when you go back, you have run for nothing. ”
You've got a lot of tubes!
Agarwood silently slandered and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that a few relatives came to my brother-in-law's house, talking nonsense, and wishful thinking made some absurdity." The slave was worried about her sister, and she was confused, so she rushed back without thinking too much, and she didn't help much, so she just watched left and right. “
I can use your power to threaten you, so that Lu Xing doesn't dare to have crooked thoughts--isn't it stupid!
Shen Jingzhong listened to the reply with a glance, glanced at the back of the head of the girl next to him, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, then faded his face, stared at the agarwood for a moment, his eyes were meaningful.
Agarwood waited for a while, but there was no sound, and asked again cautiously, saying:
"The food is ready, so let's use some of it."
Shen Jingzhong's eyes moved slightly, and he retracted the complexity in his eyes, "Hmm! ”
He answered lightly, got up and walked to the table, and ate his meal in silence.
Agarwood saw the dishes at the bottom, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, packed up his things and was about to go out, just walked to the door, might as well come from behind him in vain, said:
"Go back and prepare, I'm going out tomorrow, you follow."
Agarwood was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said:
"Yes!"
Immediately, he sank his mind and strode out the door, wondering what to bring.
This time I went out in a hurry, but after a night's work, Agarwood only had time to ask the little girl to report a message to the family, and early in the morning of the second day, I got into the carriage and followed Shen Jingzhong all the way out of the city.
Agarwood didn't dare to ask where to go, only looked at the path, as if it was going in the direction of the Sanqing Taoist Temple outside the city.
Looking out of the window, the cold air inhaled into my nose was shocking. Agarwood was wearing a thick jacket, but he didn't feel too cold, Shen Jingzhong leaned on the big pillow, half-squinted, glanced at the agarwood with a rare look of excitement on his face, and his eyebrows were gloomy.
After about an hour, the carriage stopped. Agarwood lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and looked up, but it was the Sanqing Taoist Temple.
It's just that I never believe in this, what's going on today? 、
In a flash of emotion, Shen Jingzhong had already gotten out of the carriage and took the lead in walking inside. Agarwood fell, hurriedly followed, all the way to the door of the west hall, and then stopped.
Shen Jingzhong looked at the huge plaque in front of him, his eyes were dark and uncertain, and after a while, he turned to Agarwood and said:
"Agarwood, you come!" After a pause, he pointed to the entrance of the hall and said to the agarwood:
"Someone will take you in for a while, don't ask anything after you go in, don't say anything, follow the person around, and when you come out, tell me what you see and feel, one by one, understand?"
Agarwood blinked incomprehensibly, but looking at Grandpa Guo's cautious face, he nodded in a daze, "Yes, the slave knows!" “
After that, Shen Jingzhong beckoned, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, standing silently three steps away from him, Agarwood pursed his lips uncomfortably, Shen Jingzhong lowered his head and patted the top of Agarwood's head, and said softly:
"Go ahead!"
Agarwood nodded, followed behind the man, went to the hall, came to the door, Agarwood turned his head, looked back, Shen Jingzhong stood in the courtyard, the sunlight in winter was reflected obliquely, caged behind Shen Jingzhong, against the light and shadow to see his face clearly.
But after a pause, Agarwood turned around, followed the man in black in front of him, crossed the threshold, and went towards the black corridor.
Qin Dong in the courtyard had been watching silently, his face was hesitant and worried, he wanted to speak and stopped, paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help but take two steps forward, whispered to Shen Jingzhong, and said:
"Master, she is still young in agarwood...... Isn't it ......"
Shen Jingzhong's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, this is not your business. ”
Qin Dong's face was scornful, he took a step back, and didn't dare to say anything more.
#########################################
In winter, the sun is warm and pleasant, shining on people, making people indescribably comfortable. It's a pity that agarwood doesn't feel like this.
Under the corner of the wall, the agarwood body bowed very much, leaning against the wall, even nauseating, spitting out the bile, and the mouth was full of bitterness.
Shen Jingzhong stood ten steps away from her, his expression was unknown, and he looked at the trembling figure with a heavy face, his lips pursed tightly.
Agarwood clasped his fingers against the wall, and couldn't help but think of scene after scene, the strong smell of blood lingering in his nose, and the terrible and very miserable screams in his ears, he closed his eyes and wanted to forget, but the picture became clearer and clearer...... The half-human high iron comb was only moved by the two of them, and the locked person combed it from the beginning, and half of the flesh and skin were bloodshot, and he was no longer human...... Also, there is a soldering iron that burns red, and it is imprinted on the body, and the skin and flesh are burned...... Mercury poured into a person's stomach...... Uh, I can't think about it, I can't think about it...... Evil......
Agarwood shook her body and vomited again......
After a stick of incense, Agarwood and Shen Jingzhong sat opposite each other, and Qin Dong poured a cup of tea and handed it to Agarwood.
"You, you drink some water."
Agarwood looked up, Qin Dong's eyes dodged, Agarwood pursed his lips, took the teacup, and didn't look at him again.
Shen Jingzhong watched coldly and said to Qin Dong; "Go down."
Seeing that Qin Dong could no longer see the figure, Shen Jingzhong retracted his gaze, looked at the agarwood, and asked lightly:
"What do you see?"
Agarwood hung her head and didn't say a word. What's in there, you let me in, how can I not know!
There was no response, and Shen Jingzhong didn't care, and asked what he was most concerned about, and said:
"Tell me how you feel."
Agilawood:............
I really want to scold people! But after today's scene, she had to add a little more fear to Grandpa Guo, and she didn't dare not answer, but still hung her head and said:
"Disgusting!"
He didn't want to listen to this, Shen Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "What else/"
"Huh?" Agarwood looked up in a daze, not understanding what it meant.
Shen Jingzhong didn't want to go around the bend anymore, and said directly: "I know that you are a little different from ordinary people." For example, a few years ago, on the road to Beijiang, and in the big camp, don't you feel that something is wrong? What was it like at the time? Qin Dong said that when you asked him for a horse that night, your face was pale and covered in cold sweat, I asked you, and you also said that when you felt that something was wrong, you felt that when you felt that something was wrong, you felt palpitations and panic worse than fainting without knowing it. What is the temple today...... Those are heinous men, intent on assassination, intent on committing misdeeds...... When you face them, you may feel ......" paused, as if thinking about something, and then said, "But do you feel malice?" ”
Agarwood blinked, and slowly lowered her head in the middle of the sound, covering her expression.
She thought, she understood what Grandpa Guo meant!
She warned Grandpa Guo more than once, out of kindness, and didn't want Grandpa Guo to have such thoughts. But the warning ability she has is not learned, but, but...... However, as Grandpa Guo said, she can indeed feel some feelings that make her very uncomfortable, well, yes, just like Grandpa Guo said - malice!
resentment, fear, and even the desire for death...... She felt it all, this feeling, it was so strange!
Should I tell the truth to Grandpa Guo?
Agarwood glanced up and met Shen Jing's slender eyes. What kind of person is Shen Jingzhong, Agarwood hesitated slightly, and did not deny it, he already knew it in his heart, and said with a smile:
"Looks like you know what I mean. Agarwood, you are a smart girl, just let me tell you clearly, you are an errand boy in the house, you don't mind that you take the name of the master to make some convenience for your family, as long as you are loyal to the lord, dedicated, obedient, the lord will not treat you badly, understand? ”
Agarwood felt that she understood, and nodded casually. She had no other choice, no!
Shen respectfully bowed his head with satisfaction, and said: "Today's matter, there will be in the future, you have to learn as much as possible, and you will have your own place in the future." If you do a good job, the lord promised your eldest brother an official body, so that your family will change the court, and there is a lot to do here, do you know? ”
Of course you know, don't you have to use yourself as a dog's nose? Forehead...... Bah, what nonsense!
Only, that's what it means!
Agarwood was ignorant and knew Grandpa Guo's intention to appoint her, but at this moment, she couldn't refuse this method of giving a stick to a date. Not to mention the family, the eldest sister is about to give birth......
Taking a deep breath, Agarwood nodded heavily, looked up at Shen Jingzhong's eyes, and replied seriously:
"The slave understands and knows what to do, don't worry."
Shen Jingzhong was very satisfied with the agarwood knowledge, and after the two of them talked, they didn't mention it, but the treatment of agarwood in the house was improved by more than one grade.
The girl doesn't have to worry about all the work, Shen Jingzhong allocated another yard to Agarwood, not a side, just on the edge of Shen Jingzhong's yard, saying that she lives alone, but in fact, it is just a small courtyard vacated in the hospital.
The degree of food and clothing is all according to the example of a serious girl in a big family in the house, and the rumors of envy and jealousy in the house are compared to the others. The capital agarwood is just lucky, and I can't tell when Grandpa Guo will carry her to the house.
These sour words have been said to the Qin family, Qin Zhong is not a good feeling in his heart when he listens to them, he is afraid that these rumors will spread to his daughter, and he will feel uncomfortable listening to them. urged the mother-in-law to hurry up to see her daughter.
Agarwood had just come back from outside the city, and was chewing mint leaves to endure vomiting, although he had seen it several times, but the disgusting smell was still unbearable.
From time to time, the grandfather of the country examined her, and coldly pulled someone out, so that she could distinguish whether the person had good intentions in his heart or not, but if she didn't feel anything, she had to go there, of course, there was more than that, the grandfather of the country invited someone to teach her from somewhere, and looked at the things that the gods were chattering, and the things that were taught were also ...... Alas!
Hey, this day-
At this time, after listening to Chen's intentions, Agarwood really couldn't cry or laugh, and there were still people who envied her in the days when she felt that the water was in dire straits, so she couldn't change it! Thank you so much, okay!
"Mother, you don't care, there are many things in the world, there are people who deceive people and laugh at people, it's just red-eyed, just ignore them. Speaking of which, the eldest sister is not young, didn't Wen Po say that she had to give birth recently? You're still in the mood to be idle, and if you want me to say, it's the most important thing to take care of my eldest sister! ”
Agarwood doesn't want to say more, this is a change of topic!
What he said happened to poke Chen's heart, and he immediately changed his mind, couldn't help but sigh, and said:
"You still need to say this, my mother is worried! Your brother-in-law's family sent those stirrers away, and it was easy to clean up, and your sister could wait for childbirth quietly. I'm thinking about it, I'll live in your sister's house for the next few days, so I'll just watch it closely. ”
Agarwood said approvingly:
"That's good, no matter how dangerous it is to have a child, my brother-in-law is a big man, and I don't have any experience, there is really something urgent, with you in charge, the eldest sister must be much more at ease."
Chen was very comfortable being patted by his daughter's fart, smiled, and then seemed to think of something, and drooped his face again.
The old lady's face was wrong, and Agarwood was busy with concern: "Mother, what are you worried about, tell me, I can't say that I can still come up with ideas for you." ”
Chen said: "It's not on the side, it's just that a few days ago, your cousin came to a letter, saying that she was going to move to Beijing, a big family, saying that she wanted your father to help her, first looked for a house, rented it, and said that her family is a little tight now, let your father pay the rent first, take care of it, and get everything in order, so that her family can settle down as soon as she comes." He also said that when her family settled in Beijing, she would even return the one with interest. ”
