Chapter 32: I Think I Understand
I grinned at Ji Jiu and said, "In a place like a teahouse, it's not good to be a stuffy gourd all the time." [This book consists of]"
After Ji Jiu was silent, his face was solemn: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, that Gu Dart Master is too weird!" “
He didn't say that it was okay, but at the mention of this, my mind drifted back to the scene on the street just now.
Gu Dart Shi looked at me with an eager gaze, her elbows brushed intentionally or unintentionally, and her movements of holding me from time to time in the flow of people, I have not completely withdrawn from that faint ** atmosphere.
Ji Jiu's words made me can't help but clench my fists lightly and frown and say, "I've seen a lot of weird people, but this one seems to have a story behind it." ”
"Are you ready to learn about her story now, or" Ji Jiu looked at me with an inquiring eye.
"You're thinking too much." Dressed in men's clothes, my movements were actually a little assimilated by him, and I stretched out my hand and almost wanted to put it on his shoulder, and the night wind blew, and a spirit woke up.
It's over, when I meet such a person, in a place like Sealand, my state is about to be confused.
Obviously, I and Gu Dart Master are two people who have nothing to do with each other, but after this day, there is something indescribable.
I withdrew my hand in embarrassment and whispered, "Didn't they all send their subordinates out to buy?" Naturally, I am sure to go, if I am fast, I will go tomorrow, and if I am slow, the day after tomorrow, and the horizontal and vertical will be in these two days. ”
"I don't know if the men she sent out are doing their best?" Ji Jiu didn't notice the little episode just now, and said with a look of annoyance, "This time I was careless, next time I passed through the city along the way, no matter what, I have to inquire first." ”
I looked up at him for a moment and said, "It's normal that I don't understand, think about how I got to Sealand?" It's completely plotted! ”
"But you have been in the capital of Sealand for a few years, what do you use to spend your life in the palace, if I were you, I would definitely be very interested in the situation in Sealand and it would be necessary to understand it one by one. How can the book records of old antiques be trusted? "Don't say that you don't know anything about such a special place as Hengcheng, but you can imagine that on the way to the national capital, other places are as strange to you as I am."
I looked at him in a meaningful tone.
"Besides, you have plans to leave her. Could it be that you lived the life in the palace at the beginning?"
Scenes of fragrant scenes suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but blush.
Ji Jiu looked at me in a daze, saw my strange face, and said angrily: "Where do you want to go." ”
"Ah," I was taken aback, I really didn't give people any space, and the people who came from that place were so perverted that they took guessing as a daily habit!
However, it is rare to see a cold personality like Ji Jiu, and there will be an annoyed and angry side. I laughed and said, "Only you know how your life is lived, don't you?" ”
I strode away triumphantly, leaving behind Ji Jiu in the moonlight and standing in the wind, and what I didn't notice was the eyes that were always hiding among the trees in the distance and looking at me
Push the door open. It felt a little weird, and I looked around at the furnishings and soon noticed that there were a few more things, and even the position of the bed had been changed.
Who changed the layout of the room while I was out of the house?
I looked around in silence, and when I thought that this was someone else's territory, I felt that there was no need to be picky, just like what I had told Ji Jiu in the morning.
Perhaps, it is the meaning of Gu Dartmaster. Perhaps, it was just regrouped by the people below on a whim.
Looking around, I slowly moved to the G side, and looking at the layout of the house, the most conspicuous thing was the ink tent hanging on the G in front of me.
Look closely, it's the same clothes I wore this morning. None of them were new, and it is not known where the person who arranged them took them from.
Whether it is clothes or objects, although they are old, you can see that the collection was placed with care, so at first glance it looks like new.
I leaned against the g. He bowed his head and fell into deep thought
After I left, Ji Jiu still stood in place for a while, before he turned around, his eyes suddenly glanced into the shadows of the trees in the distance, this casual glance made his figure stiffen, but in an instant, he calmly walked in the direction he was going
I was not idle, I was looking at some small objects in front of the window, one of which was sent from the Sealand Palace, of course, to Ji Jiu, but he gave it to me as a favor.
There was a sudden sound of a gentle knock under the window, which sounded very familiar, I coughed, and then opened the window a crack, and saw Ji Jiuli staring at me by the window for a few seconds, and said in a low voice that was almost recognizable: "Try to leave tomorrow morning." “
I nodded, watched him leave after explaining, and sighed in my heart, it was really a strange place, even he became more and more weird, so he didn't knock on the door or go to the door, but prefers to send messages outside the window dumbly.
Holding the small jade pendant in my hand, no matter the texture and material are not as good as the piece that the Empress Sealand gave me when she met me, and the pattern carved on it is probably a substandard work if it is judged by the standard of a craftsman.
I secretly guessed that maybe the empress did it herself, so she specially sent it to Ji Jiu.
This explanation is reasonable.
I held it in my hand for a long time before putting it back in the package I had brought back.
The hour was still early for me, and I didn't want to go to bed so early, so I rummaged through the package and put the preliminarily made disfigurement herbs on the table under the lamp.
He was fiddling with medicinal herbs in his hand when a soft knock suddenly sounded outside the door.
I didn't care, after all, according to what I knew about Ji Jiu at this time, he must have fallen asleep, and the sound outside the door was about the wind.
My eyes moved, but I still didn't look up, and my eyes continued to focus on the pile of medicinal herbs on the table.
There was another soft knock on the door, and I turned my head to look intently in the direction of the sound for a few seconds, when the cautious knock suddenly stopped.
After a moment of silence, I had no intention of opening the door, and the sound outside the door finally sounded again, slightly harder than the previous two, but still cautious and apprehensive.
Confirming that I heard it correctly, I quickly put away the medicinal materials on the table, but in a few seconds, the messy and full table top was completely tidyed.
I shoved the packaged herbs under the table and calmly answered in the direction of the door: "Come on." “
The moment the door was opened, the moonlight stretched the figure at the door very long, Gu Dart Shi stood there, and when she saw me open the door, she moved her lips uneasily, as if she wanted to say something, and it seemed that she didn't know how to say it.
It's not often that I see such a look of embarrassment on a person's face, especially someone like her, "Something's wrong?" I looked her in the eye and said seriously. On the west street of Hengcheng, there is a time-honored restaurant, the dishes there, the dishes there are the most delicious, the shopkeeper and I are friends, I think you will leave tomorrow"
She seemed to have mustered up the courage to say something like that, but she slowly lost in my intently staring at her, and halfway through the sentence, she was messy. "It's late."
I looked at her quietly. "Yes, I know, it's late and I don't want to disturb you, it's a pity that I forgot to say it during the day."
My eyes stayed on her face, and after a while, I smiled and said, "Since I've already disturbed, let's go have a drink." “
Her gaze was filled with unbelievable joy.
"What are you waiting for, I don't know Hengcheng, you lead the way."
"Do you want to call your big brother?" "No need, he coughs badly, he must have gone to bed early, I'll go with you, just come back early."
At the side door of the dart game, the carriage slowly drove out, turned a corner along the street, and soon arrived on the street of Hengcheng.
After the initial surprise, I looked at the pedestrians outside through the cracks in the open curtains, and found that unlike during the day, there were many more men in the procession. "Is it a festival in Sealand?" I can't think of a reason, but I subconsciously think of the festival.
Turning his head to look back at her sitting on the side of the carriage, Gu Dart Master seemed to wake up from a dream, nodded vigorously and said, "It is one of the five major festivals in Sealand. "No wonder." I closed the curtain and said with a clear smile: "I said how can there be so many people on the street, and the night market on weekdays may not be so lively." “
I've seen a lively night market in Qibei, but this is the first time in Sealand, and after the freshness has passed, I noticed that the carriage seems to be moving slowly.
"Didn't you go around in a circle?" I smiled lightly, "Is it the one who drove the car and got lost?" ”
"It's almost there." She bowed her head.
The carriage under him really sped up, like a lost traveler who had been wandering for a long time and had found the right way.
In stark contrast to the noise outside the car, there was silence in the carriage, and she had been looking at me with a blank look, but every time I met her gaze, she had already turned her head away.
After a few times, I understood what she meant, and simply lowered my head and let her look at it.
The car dealer was undecided, and when I arrived at a small and inconspicuous door on Hengcheng West Street, Gu Dart Master went down first.
As I reached the door, I saw behind her that the wooden door was closed, and that her knock was very subtle, and she struck three times with a rapid strike, followed by a long stroke like the rhythm of a bell.
"Tu-tu-tuk-" unhurried.
The footsteps of two people sounded in the courtyard, and then the door finally opened, and it was an aunt who came out to greet her, followed by a person.
The aunt is in her fifties, her face is wrinkled, and her outfit is very ordinary, and she will be submerged in the crowd.
However, I only glanced at it, and my eyes were completely drawn to the person behind her!
