Chapter 409: Still hanging in my heart
In the east courtyard of the Yuwen family in Suzhou City.
The steward Ah Fu walked through the courtyard and walked from one end to the other, still in his heart, unable to make up his mind.
In desperation, he personally ran to the courtyard where the guards lived.
There was nothing else, but the words that had been passed on before were told again.
Most of the people in the courtyard were silent after hearing this.
Nonsense, look at the gloomy face of Steward Fu, anyone wants to avoid it!
If you can't avoid it now, keep silent, for fear of angering the steward and scolding, so everyone simply didn't say a word after thinking about it.
There are also people who are an exception.
The only one who spoke to him was the guard Ah Lai, who had gone out a few times with the young man Lin who temporarily lived in Qingyin Pavilion.
Ignoring the gloom on Steward Fu's face, he took a few steps closer, and said in a serious tone with earnest eyes: "Steward Fu, when the third young master comes back, he will definitely make a decision as soon as possible." ”
The guard paused, and said in a calm tone: "That Lin Gongzi is probably going north. "In my little impression, he kept talking about it."
This is true, he went out to the west of the city several times, and every time he escorted Ah Lai to escort the people of Qingyin Pavilion in a carriage.
On the way, he heard Yuan Bao and that Lin Gongzi discussing this topic no less than three or four times!
"When he went out to walk around Suzhou City, he mentioned it several times on the road."
Ah Fu glanced at the guard, his face slightly soothed, but the worry in his heart still did not dissipate.
He said in his heart that he couldn't figure this out!
The guards don't know the inside story.
The biggest worry is not that I don't know where that Lin Gongzi went, but that my third young master reacted when he came back and knew that someone had run away!
Where can ordinary people guess what the third young master will do?!
That's the hell of it!
Come to think of it. Ah Fu subconsciously shivered in the wind, and the whole person felt bad!
The heavy rain continued to fall, and Wu Yu stayed there in the backyard of the mountain temple except for me.
Wu Yu turned his head and looked at me solemnly, "Xiaolin." We don't know for sure. "I'll have to wait for the rain to stop at the earliest, and I can't hurry in the middle of the night, so I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning."
I nodded, but the guess in my mind was that the bridge deck was damaged near the town of Nanhua, as I had previously told her.
It's the path I'm about to take, not hers.
In a brief silence, the sound of rain hitting the eaves of the mountain temple was heard. Ding Ding Dong is like a piece of music.
In the atmosphere shrouded in heavy rain, the unprovoked end makes people feel cold.
"Xiaolin, do you think I should go to the front hall and ask them?"
Wu Yu suddenly asked me after thinking about it. "Just asking."
My eyes fixed on her face, and I squinted slightly and asked, "What are you going to say to those people?" ”
"Xiaolin, I'm just asking what section of the bridge deck collapsed, the section of the road that was impacted by the stream!"
I thought about it. I said a word silently in my heart. Shaking his head at Wu Yu and said, "I don't think it's appropriate." ”
The group of people just now drove me and her directly to the backyard, making it clear that although we were not wary, they were not interested in being verbose.
At this time, we go up and ask, and the other party may not be interested in ignoring us at all, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating?
In my concept, it's up to the person to ask about it.
At least those guys don't look like a good deal, I'm sure of that.
After thinking about it, I still said to Wu Yu: "Don't be impatient, let's wait for the news." Listen attentively to the conversation over there. ”
Wu Yu nodded, but still agreed. Gave up the idea of going to the front hall to inquire.
Because they have to pay attention to their movements, they cannot sleep for the time being.
I thought for a moment, then turned my head to look at Wu Yu and said, "Let's talk so as not to fall asleep." “
"Xiaolin, it can't go on like this, I feel that the night is getting colder and colder."
Wu Yu shrank behind the pillars, his body trembled, and said, "The cold in the mountains is too heavy, and it's still raining, so we can't go to the front hall." "Half of the corridor is open, and I feel that the place where we are staying is also damp," Wu Yu had a worried look on his face, "Xiaolin, if you go on like this for a night, I'm afraid you and I will get sick." ”
I smiled and said, "Hey, you just said that you wanted to put on your coat to check the terrain, it's too cold just to sit at this time?!" ”
"Then gather the dead branches that were just lit on fire, and let's make a fire."
I thought about it, but I didn't think of a better way for the time being, it seemed that only the pile of dead branches was ready-made.
Since you can use the soup, you can also light a fire to keep warm!
When I entered the mountain temple, I saw that the people in the front hall had already lit a fire and roasted it!
Wu Yu and I worked together to gather the dead branches in one place, and she took out the flint and burned it with a little effort.
As the fire was raised, I finally felt the temperature around me start to rise slowly.
I sat around the fire with her, and although the wind still blew from time to time, at least it felt much better than before. "Xiaoyu, why don't you learn a little medical skills from your father?" I'll go back to the question I asked her earlier.
I think that since her father is a famous doctor in Nanhua Town, he is clearly a ready-made teacher, so don't you take the opportunity to study and learn?
Xiaoyu seems to have wasted a lot of resources! "As I said, my greatest interest is in making good food."
Wu Yu said with a rare hint of shyness in his eyes: "The medical skills are really average." "In addition, my brother has already learned from my father, and there are two people in the family who know medical skills, and I am not a lot!"
After saying this, Wu Yu looked at the fire and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking!
After a while, she looked sideways at me and continued: "My father went to Xilanan, and I heard that there was a master over there who studied with him in his early years. "My father has always remembered in his heart that he wants to take his medical skills to the next level, and he has said a lot that he wants to go to Xilanan to find that master."
I understand what she means. Most people who focus on a certain skill or something will be a little crazy, and if they don't, they won't be able to achieve anything! "My brother and I are both older. My dad also felt that he could rest assured that he would stay at home, so he went far away. “
"In the beginning, there was more frequent communication, and then there was less communication." "Didn't you think the war in the Northland was about to start?" I took her words and said, "When your father left, he certainly didn't expect the war to come so quickly. "Yes, so my brother couldn't receive his letter, so he followed him south to find my father."
Wu Yu's voice was faint. I couldn't hear joy and anger at that moment: "At first, I thought that Nanhua Town was all old neighbors, and I also had someone to take care of, but I didn't expect the news of conscription to come out immediately." “
I sighed next to me: "So wave after wave." Where can ordinary people think of it! "Let's talk about conscription, those are the people from the government who have the final say."
When Wu Yu said this, he paused slightly, looked at me with his eyes and said, "Xiaolin." I'm not exaggerating. "They are trying to complete the task given to them by the top. It's really possible to catch a random person and make up the numbers. “
Wu Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of dazedness, and he looked at me at a loss and said, "Xiaolin, I've been worried that they won't find my brother and will arrest me directly." "Did this happen in Nanhua before?"
I asked Wu Yu tentatively, and my eyes met her. "This kind of thing, let alone in Nanhua Town," Wu Yu paused. continued, "Suzhou City." Or any place in Sealand, as long as the conscription begins, where will there be less! “
Wu Yu said with a hint of bitterness in his tone, and said with emotion: "If you have a rich family, you may be able to change the quota with some silver, and find someone to carry the bag for your children!"
I was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, I've heard of such a thing, Li Dai Taozhuang." ”
"Actually, Xiaolin, life in Nanhua Town is very good, although it is not a rich family, but it has always been quite comfortable."
Wu Yu's eyes fell on the courtyard and muttered to himself: "I think it's just like this, as long as there is no war, the people in the town can live and work in peace and contentment." ”
"It's a pity that it's not up to our will to transfer, it's not up to you and me to have the final say."
I echoed casually, but I still couldn't help but reach out and pat Wu Yu's shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, I'll keep the fire and listen to their group of people by the way." ”
"I think you'll sleep first in the first half of the night."
I had planned to wait for the whole night, and when it was dawn, she and I would be tired and sleepy, and the strength to hurry would be gone.
She and I had to reach our destination before dark, and we still had a long mountain road to walk, which was a physical drain!
Besides, there is no need for two people not to sleep and guard, it seems a little redundant.
Therefore, I think it is better to explain the reason directly to Wu Yu.
I planned to watch the first half of the night myself, and she watched the second half of the night.
In this way, if there is any movement in the mountain temple, one can quickly wake up the other!
It not only ensures the safety of two people, but also does not miss the news ahead, and by the way, you can also watch the weather and pay attention to when the rain will stop!
Wu Yu thought about it silently, then nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you, Xiaolin." ”
She hugged her knees, leaned on the big burden, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
I added a little wig to the fire to make it stronger, and kept my eyes open.
After the conversation in the front hall, there was silence for a while, but no sound came.
At first, I was still arguing, but now it's quiet, isn't it also asleep?!
I thought it was a little weird.
As I listened intently, I heard some strange noises.
I frowned and quietly clenched my fist at my side, intending to keep an eye on it.
After a while, I smelled a burst of aroma in the air, and it dawned on me.
It turned out that the group of people couldn't stay up to the cold and began to get something to eat!
In this way, the residual smell of hot soup in the backyard was suddenly overshadowed by the smell of their cooking.
I turned my head and quietly glanced at Wu Yu who was asleep.
She slept peacefully, but at this moment she sniffed lightly, and she smelled this fragrance in her dream, which was a subconscious reaction!
The corners of my lips lifted slightly, and I walked over to the fire and fiddled with it for a while, and then I returned to her, and stood by in peace
Ah Fu stood by the door and watched for a while, looking at the pedestrians passing by one after another on the street, and the third young master of his family still had no shadow.
He felt that it was not a way to do it and wait for others to be more anxious.
He was wandering by the door, hesitating to go to the third young master's study to wait, when he raised his eyes and saw a person from below hurrying down a small road.
"What's the matter! Panicked? ”
Ah Fu was stunned for a second, and immediately stepped forward to intercept the man.
The little guy looked at Ah Fu and hurriedly saluted: "Steward Fu, I'm thinking about looking for you!" “
The little guy ran in a hurry, and then he took a breath and continued: "The guests of Yulan Hall can't do it because they ordered food, so they plan to buy it outside at this time!"
Ah Fu was stunned when he heard it.
In his impression, the little girl named Adele in the big kitchen was working with the former chef Chef Chen.
With the true biography of Master Chen, it seems that no dish can be difficult for her!
Especially making dim sum, which is what Adele is good at.
On weekdays, or Ah Fu will ask a few more questions, but at present, his own affairs have not been resolved, and the matter of Lin Gongzi who left Qingyin Pavilion is still hanging in his heart!
Where did he have the time to ask so carefully?
So he was silent for a long time, then nodded in approval to the little guy he found: "Then send someone to buy it, if you go far to the west of the city, let the guards drive there." “
Miss Hua is recuperating from a leg injury, and satisfying her appetite can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the landlord. "Great!" The little guy completed the task, felt that it was also very smooth, smiled at him, and ran to the Magnolia Hall to reply.
Ah Fu waited by the door for about a quarter of an hour, and decided to go to the big kitchen to look for the little girl he had just mentioned.
The news of Lin Gongzi's departure was the first she and her brother to know.
If the third young master asks questions after he comes back, he will have to pass on these two people to confirm the news.
It's better to take the two of them directly to wait outside the third young master's study, and he can ask clearly as soon as he comes back.
It would be a waste of time to save the time to pass on, and the third young master would have another reason to lose his temper!
Ah Fu made up his mind, turned around and turned back to the big kitchen to find someone.
About half an hour later, three people stood outside the study of Yuwen Sanshao in the east courtyard of the city.
Yuan Bao raised his head from time to time, glanced at the Fu steward with anxiety, and saw that the other party's face was gloomy, and he had no bottom in his heart.
Compared with Yuanbao's apprehension, his sister Adele was a little calmer.
Waiting under the eaves, Adai looked at the way into the courtyard without squinting.
If the third young master comes back, he will definitely come from that road.
In fact, others don't know when they look at it, but at this time, Ah Dai, who looks quite calm on the surface, is also fluctuating in her heart, and her mind is still thinking about what she will say after facing Sanshao.
She knew that when her brother was nervous, he would stutter and speak clearly, and she needed to mention something on her side! (To be continued.) )
