Chapter 123: The Mysterious Stranger
Standing in the shadows not far from the door, Xiao Wanyao heard the conversation between the gatekeeper and the people outside. Listening to the people talking outside, like officers and soldiers, Xiao Wanyao frowned slightly and listened carefully.
"See a strange man coming here?" The people outside asked, loud and with torches in their hands. The gatekeeper shook his head, "Official, I've been guarding here all along, and I've never seen it." The official outside looked up at the plaque, "Tell your son-in-law, if a strange man passes by, you must report to the official, this person is very dangerous." The attendants nodded in agreement, and the officials left with torches.
Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, thinking of the strange man who was unconscious in the corridor in front of her courtyard, wasn't she talking about him? Xiao Wanyao's heart suddenly lifted, and when the guards closed the door, she turned around and left in a hurry.
When Xiao Wanyao returned to the corridor, she found that the man was no longer there, Xiao Wanyao was stunned, a cold blow blew again, she didn't stay longer, maybe she had already escaped, this matter had nothing to do with her, she didn't want to be nosy, then walked into her yard, turned around and closed the door, and was about to enter the house, when suddenly a figure came out behind her, grabbed her from behind, covered her mouth with one hand, and held a dagger against her neck with the other, "Don't make a sound, I won't hurt you!" ”
Xiao Wanyao's mouth was gagged and she couldn't speak, there was a smell of blood coming from this man's body, it should be injured, if you guessed correctly, it was probably the person the officers and soldiers outside were looking for, Xiao Wanyao only made a whining sound, and the man continued, "Girl, I don't want to hurt you, I will only stay here for a while and leave, as long as you don't make a sound, I guarantee that you will be fine, and I will definitely not embarrass you." ”
Xiao Wanyao couldn't speak, and nodded again and again.
The man's breath was very heavy, and he was seriously injured when he heard the voice, he tried to let go of Xiao Wanyao, and when he saw that she honestly did not resist or scream, he let go of her completely.
After Xiao Wanyao got out, she quickly ran a few steps away, turned to stare at him, "Who are you?" Why here? Xiao Wanyao asked in a low voice, "Is it you who the officials outside are looking for?" The man didn't hide it, he sat in the shadows and nodded, and at this time, the attendant outside knocked on the door, "Miss Xiao, have you fallen asleep?" ”
Xiao Wanyao's eyes moved, and she wanted to rush out, but seeing the man struggling to stand up from the shadows, the dagger in his hand poked out of the shadows, and was unusually conspicuous in the moonlight, Xiao Wanyao was not sure that she could escape from him, and then said to the people outside, "Sleep, what's wrong?" ”
The attendant heard Xiao Wanyao's voice and said, "Miss Xiao try not to come out at night, there seems to be a fugitive from the Chu State outside." Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and remained calm, "Got it!" The attendant listened, and turned around to leave without any problems, Xiao Wanyao held her hands tightly and listened to the attendant walking farther and farther.
Until the voice completely disappeared, the man slowly put away the dagger, "Your surname is Xiao, Miss Xiao has offended!" Appreciate. After speaking, the man turned around and wanted to leave, maybe he was too seriously injured, and he fell down again as soon as he stood up, Xiao Wanyao subconsciously took a few steps towards him, "You...... You okay? ”
Xiao Wanyao saw that this person was not talking like the kind of heinous person, and seeing that he was walking with great difficulty, and she didn't know which nerve was wrong, she said to him, "There are officers and soldiers outside arresting you, it is very dangerous for you to go out like this, not to mention that you are still injured, if you believe that you are here, you will stay for the time being." ”
The man's body was slightly stunned, seeing that he didn't go again, Xiao Wanyao stepped forward to support him, but he didn't expect to feel when he walked in, this person is so burly, Xiao Wanyao just went to his shoulder, looking extremely delicate, "It's a doctor below, you're injured, go to the house first." ”
Xiao Wanyao helped him into his room and lit the lamp, only then could he see his face clearly, his skin was a little dark, his body was strong, his eyebrows were tightly locked due to the injuries on his body, his face was delicate, and he looked like he was only about thirty years old. Xiao Wanyao hurriedly brought her bag when she saw the blood stains on his body, and began to bandage his wounds, "Thank you, girl, if there is another day, I will definitely thank him." ”
The man sat on the chair, Xiao Wanyao half-squatted on the ground to bandage the wound on his waist, his hands were already full of blood, hearing the man's words, Xiao Wanyao said calmly, "I didn't save you to thank you, and I have no interest in who you are, this is Wei, you are from Wei, you are from Chu, if he has the opportunity to see you again in the future, he will pretend not to know." Good to each other! ”
The man didn't expect the person who saved him to say such indifferent words, but it made a lot of sense, and then smiled, "It's okay! ”
After Xiao Wanyao took care of the man's wounds, she cleaned up the blood stains in the courtyard outside, and after cleaning up, she returned to the man and asked, "You may go?" The man nodded, got up and put on his upper clothes, and hugged his fists, "Thank you, girl, I'll leave now." Xiao Wanyao nodded, thinking that it would be fine to send him away, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked into the courtyard, she heard Shangguan Yunfan knocking on the door, "Wanyao, have you slept?" ”
Xiao Wanyao gasped and frowned, why did she come back at this time, it seemed that she couldn't leave, she turned around and gave the man behind her a gesture to let him enter the house, and after the man went in and hid, Xiao Wanyao slowly walked to the door, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”
Shangguan Yunfan walked into the courtyard and looked at Xiao Wanyao with concern, "Are you okay?" Xiao Wanyao was stunned and said reluctantly, "What can I do?" It's that you went out all day and didn't see anyone, but you know that today is August 15, leaving Yunqing alone at home, how did you act as a big brother. ”
Shangguan Yunfan smiled faintly in the face of Xiao Wanyao's complaints, "Are you also blaming me for not coming back to accompany you for the holiday?" Xiao Wanyao glanced at him, but she was worried about the person inside, this person was very dangerous, if Shangguan Yunfan didn't leave, I'm afraid he would make a move, "Where have you been?" Xiao Wanyao asked.
Shangguan Yunfan wanted to go to the house, but the dagger of the man hiding at the door was already in his hand, ready to pounce out at any time, Xiao Wanyao stopped Shangguan Yunfan, "It's so late, I'm asleep, what else do you have to do?" Shangguan Yunfan said softly, "I'm sorry, I originally accompanied you and Yunqing to celebrate the festival together, but I couldn't pull away for a while, everyone needs to be taken care of at this time, I was busy from morning to night, I originally wanted to spend the holiday at home, but Yunqing was like that, he didn't like too many strangers to come, so I have been out all the time." ”
Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, it turned out to be for Yunqing, "Since this is the case, then go back and rest early, see that you are full of alcohol." Shangguan Yunfan was slightly drunk and stared at Xiao Wanyao, "I want to celebrate the festival with you, and I have prepared a gift." Saying that, Shangguan Yunfan took out a golden hairpin from his body and handed it to Xiao Wanyao, "Do you like it?" ”
Xiao Wanyao looked at it and smiled, "I don't like these gold and silver jewelry very much, but since you gave it away, then I will accept it unceremoniously, okay, you have drunk a lot of wine tonight, it is better to go back and rest first." Shangguan Yunfan tilted his head and stared at Xiao Wanyao, with a strong tenderness, with the strength of wine, he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Wanyao's chin, and looked at it carefully, but she avoided it, "You are so beautiful!" He said lightly, his voice very soft and soft.
Xiao Wanyao dodged Shangguan Yunfan and said in a low voice, "Shangguan Gongzi, you are drunk, let's go back quickly." However, Shangguan Yunfan had no intention of leaving, reached out and grabbed Xiao Wanyao's waist, pulled him closer to his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her, "Shangguan Yunfan, let go of me!" Xiao Wanyao struggled to push him away, and heard a noise from inside the house.
Shangguan Yunfan stopped at this time, "What sound?" ”
Xiao Wanyao pushed Shangguan Yunfan away, her eyes moved, "It's probably a mouse!" It looks like you haven't drunk enough, how about I have a few drinks with you? Shangguan Yunfan immediately became interested, "Wow." "You ask someone to prepare the food and drinks, and I'll change my clothes and come right away."
Shangguan Yunfan was extremely happy, "I'll wait for you in the garden." After speaking, she turned around and walked out, Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth angrily, closed the door and returned to the room, and the man stood at the door, "Girl, that man is rude to you, do you want me to teach him a lesson?" ”
Xiao Wanyao chuckled, "You can't protect yourself now, and you still want to take care of other people's affairs, don't worry, he just drank too much, I can handle it, after I leave in a while, you leave quickly." After Xiao Wanyao finished speaking, she turned around and took a cloak, took her silver needle and a small box by the way, and left after turning off the light.
The man waited until Xiao Wanyao left, and then left at night.
Xiao Wanyao came to Shangguan Yunfan, and saw that the wine and food had been arranged, Shangguan Yunfan saw Xiao Wanyao walking slowly, the moonlight fell on her like water, her hazy face looked even more charming and moving, and she was stunned for a while, if it was just a red face, Shangguan Yunfan would not fall into the love network lightly, but the person in front of her was Xiao Wanyao, a woman with a cold and arrogant temperament, unruly, and superhuman talent in medical skills, calm, cautious, and comfortable in the face of accidents, mysterious and unpredictable.
"Are Shangguan Gongzi sure you want to drink again?" Xiao Wanyao walked to the table, slowly untied the cloak and handed it to the next person, and then sat down at the table.
Shangguan Yunfan smiled faintly, with a hint of drunkenness, his arm propped up on the table, supported his chin with one hand, tilted his body, and looked at the beauty opposite warmly, a cunning bright moon above his head, and the beauty who sat opposite him as his heart, there is nothing more comfortable than this, the so-called wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk, "I'm really sorry, there are too many people who need to be dotted during the festival, and I didn't come back to accompany the girl for the festival until now." ”
Xiao Wanyao didn't think so, but looking at the scene in front of her, she was a little melancholy, a little helpless and a little worried that needed to be resolved, so she picked up the wine glass, "Shangguan Gongzi can think of spending the festival with Xia, and he is satisfied in Xia." Shangguan Yunfan also picked up the wine glass, and the two of them clinked glasses and drank them all, so comfortable.
It was a night of reunion, but at both ends of the world with her loved ones, Xiao Wanyao poured a full bottle of wine, drank it all again, a faint smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, put down the wine glass and continued to pour wine, Shangguan Yunfan looked at Xiao Wanyao opposite, "Miss Xiao seems to have something on her mind." ”
Xiao Wanyao picked up the third glass of wine, "To this full moon night." Xiao Wanyao drank the third glass of wine, and Shangguan Yunfan also picked up the wine glass, "I'll accompany the girl!" The two men put down their empty glasses and looked at each other and smiled.
Each has its own story, each has its own helplessness, each has its own lovesickness, and each has its own ties.
Xiao Wanyao looked at Shangguan Yunfan's momentary interest, "Why don't you ask Yunqing to come out too, such a good moonlight, invite him to enjoy it together." Shangguan Yunfan smiled faintly, "I went to see him just now, and he has already fallen asleep, so don't disturb him." Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, "Since you have been doing business here for many years, you must have a lot to do with it, but during the holidays, you only think about taking care of people outside, but you don't care about your brother." ”R1154
