It's been some time since autumn, and the weather in the southwest is starting to get cooler at night.

I was under the lamp, waiting for Cui'er to come back from delivering food.

I was reading quietly when I was caught by the white light that suddenly flashed in the sky.

In the middle of the night, there were several lightning flashes out of thin air, but no rain fell.

Cui'er pushed open the door and hurriedly came in and said, "Girl, the son next door hasn't come back yet." ”

A look of disappointment flashed in my eyes, and a thunderclap exploded in the air again, and Cui'er said with a pun: "Don't worry, girl, this rain shouldn't come for a while." ”

I motioned for her to go to sleep first, and Cui'er walked a few steps back and asked, "Do you still want to guard?" Do you need a slave to go to the kitchen to get some supper? ”

"Cui'er, you go to bed quickly, we'll go to the street tomorrow morning." I replied briefly.

"Girl, tomorrow morning, you must wear a dress made of slaves." Cui'er said happily when she heard this.

"It depends, if it's not raining, I'll wear it, so it's okay, right?" I know that Cui'er has been looking forward to this event, although it is still more convenient to walk around in the southwest in men's clothing, and I can't bear to let her down again and again.

It stands to reason that after a day of tossing, I was also tired, but I didn't feel sleepy.

I tumbled over on the bed, but I couldn't calm down, so I just put on a robe and walked out of the small building alone.

The night was quiet, and the people in the entire West Courtyard were falling asleep at about this time, and I looked around, and there were still lights in the small building in the East Courtyard, and I thought it was Yun Chu's subordinates who were also waiting for him.

I wandered in the courtyard, and the silence of the moment made it easier for me to recall the events of the day, and the picture that Yun Chu had painted came to my mind, and the face of the woman on it flashed more clearly at this moment.

But I still can't figure out where I've seen it.

I don't understand, I just think about what I saw in the basement.

First of all. The corpse was missing only its underwear, shoes, and outer clothes.

It's not surprising that shoes can be lost if they fall into the river.

But there's no reason why the coat can't be seen.

Think of it this way. I considered two possibilities, the first is that the victim was killed in the middle of the night. Therefore, he did not wear a coat.

Another possibility is that the coat may contain some special information or marks, so the victim's coat was deliberately removed by the murderer.

I vaguely feel that the latter is more likely.

I folded a leaf on the tree, only to realize that it was a tea tree leaf that was broken.

This is the difference between the southwest and other places, and even the tea trees that are used as potted plants in the north have grown into large trees here.

I shook my body to the sound of horses' hooves in my ears, and soon realized that there was a carriage coming from the street outside towards the yard.

Thanks to the silence of the night. The sound of horses' hooves was very clear to me.

It didn't take long. I heard a brief conversation between Yun Chu and his men at the door.

Oddly enough. With a few words he sent them to the eastern courtyard, and then I realized that he himself was coming in my direction at this moment.

I hurriedly turned around, intending to return to the small building.

After just a few steps, the white shadow flashed, and Yun Chu was already standing in front of me with a shallow smile.

"In the dead of night, you don't sleep. Do you cool off in the yard? ”

He reached out and pressed the back of my hand, then took off his cloak and wrapped me tightly.

Warm, I thought he still had something to say to me, since he came back so late, and came to the West Courtyard to see me, I guess it's always like this.

Unexpectedly, after Yun Chu finished this action, he returned to the direction he came from without looking back.

"Hey," I shouted as I looked at his back.

For fear of waking up the subordinates of the West Courtyard, I immediately deliberately lowered my voice and said, "What did you say to the steward when you stayed in the City Lord's Mansion so late?" Or have you already seen the Snow Eagle? ”

Yun Chu looked back, frowned between his eyebrows, and said, "This, is it important?" ”

"It's so late now, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." His eyes looked deeper in the night, "You also went back to your room to sleep early, the night is cold." ”

"You wait."

He stopped again, and this time he looked at me with a little smile in his eyes and said, "You have to wait for me in the middle of the night to guard the door, and you won't let me go at this time, do you want to keep me in the West Courtyard to accompany you tonight?" ”

I looked embarrassed, shook my head and said, "I don't want to joke with you, I mean, I'm going to go out with you tomorrow morning." ”

"I mean," I looked up at Yun Chu and said, "I mean you don't go out alone, no matter where you go, take me with you." ”

"This is strange," Yun Chu Shi Shi Ran walked through the flowers, his clothes were in the wind, he stopped in front of me and said, "Isn't it what you want to move freely after coming to the southwest region?" Why did you come to me and become me have to take you with you again? ”

"Don't I regret it? Can't I regret it now? I looked at him angrily and said, "Don't you know that only women and villains are difficult to raise?" Is my daughter's heart needle? “

Yun Chu chuckled lowly and stroked his forehead: "I didn't know before, but I know now." “

After saying that, he turned to leave, and I grabbed his sleeve: "You don't sneak out in the morning, now it's okay." “

When it was dawning, I got out of bed with a dark circle under my eyes, saw myself in the mirror, and screamed.

Cui'er was startled by me and rushed in and said, "Girl, what's wrong?" “

When she saw me, she covered her mouth and said after a long while, "It's okay, the slave will find a way." ”

"Cui'er, is this really okay?" I sat on the stool and watched Cui'er with the fat powder box in her hand, fiddling with her hands on my face, and I felt nervous for no reason.

The two of us were trying our best to make this face of mine, and neither of us noticed that a figure was approaching Xiaolou's side.

The road was unimpeded, and soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Maybe the little maid is here to deliver breakfast, girl, wait."

Cui'er put down the work in progress, turned around and went to open the door.

Less leaning, there was a "snap" sound, and the powder box fell to the ground and shattered.

I was combing my hair when I heard the movement, "Cui'er." How did you fall? ”

"Father-in-law," Cui'er stammered as she stood in the doorway.

I looked back, Emma, it was actually Yun Chu who came. I suddenly thought of my face, oh my God, this is a half-pink face!!

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. I shouted, grabbed a handkerchief from the table and put it over my face, and ran quickly behind the screen, tripped over a stool along the way.

"Don't come in, get out." I said in a panic.

Cui'er was still in that shock and didn't come back to her senses, Yun Chu raised her hand to let her down, she was stunned at the door for a few seconds before shouting, "Girl, the slave maid go get breakfast." You're waiting. ”

Let's talk about it. I saluted Yun Chu. didn't care about cleaning up the mess on the ground, so he ran away with a smoke.

"Cui'er," I gritted my teeth.

What to do now, I heard Yun Chu already entering the door, and his footsteps were moving behind the screen. "I didn't get it right, don't come here and don't look at it." I stammered. "Didn't you tell me to take you with me all morning in the middle of last night? Why am I here now. You are the reaction to this. “

As Yun Chu spoke, he walked around the screen and walked to me step by step.

He smiled: "Xiao Ling'er, what are you hiding behind?" And covered your face with a handkerchief, what are you going to do, um-"

The breath came from my ears, and I was thinking about it, so I simply broke the jar and broke it, lifted the veil on my head, turned my head to him with a face, and said, "Look, look, are you satisfied with what you see?" ”

"If you want to laugh, hold on."

Yun Chu raised his hand and wiped a finger of powder from my face, patted it gently, and said, "This powder is thick, is it painting the wall?" ”

After that, he raised his hand to prop up my chin and said, "It's still only half of the wall." ”

Wiping her face clean, Cui'er hurriedly showed her head, delivered a plate of snacks and left.

She didn't dare to look up at Yun Chu, I looked at him sitting by the window drinking tea in surprise, and his face still had the usual disguise on his face, I don't know why Cui'er was so restrained.

I glanced at Yun Chu suspiciously and said, "Did you just scare Cui'er, otherwise why would she be so scared when she saw you?" "Are you sure you're scared?" Yun Chu smiled and said, "You say yes, right?" “

He glanced at me, "You're not going on?" “

I sighed, lowered my head and said, "It's all messed up by you, go on, anyway, I'll just go out with panda eyes." “

After eating a few bites of snacks, Cui'er's voice came from the window again: "Girl, the slave maid consulted a grandmother in the backyard, saying that it would be better if you put a hot towel on it for a while." “

Yes, why didn't I think of this idea, I really slept too late last night, and I didn't wake up in the morning, my brain is not good, I can't think of such a quick way, but I heard Cui'er's words before I had to cover it with thick powder, and I made such a joke

When I returned to the house, I was stunned to see Yun Chu sitting at the table where I usually sit, looking at the dress that Cui'er had made for me.

When I went in, he looked up at me and smiled, "This dress is too plain, change it when I get back." "When will you even be a female celebrity?" I looked at Yun Chu speechlessly, I was depressed early in the morning because he hurt me, and I said with sadness and indignation, "Don't you want to be so omnipotent, I look like a man." "Xiao Ling'er, what you said, I won't." Yun Chu smiled at me and said, "The changes I said don't need to be needlework. “

He looked me up and down and said, "Are you going to go out in men's clothes today?" “

I got up early in a hurry, and the robe I took off last night was next to the bed, and I grabbed it and put it on, and I remembered it when he said it.

Before I could answer, he had already put down his dress and said, "That's fine, it's not too late to come back and wait for me to change it for you, besides, this dress is the most convenient." “

After that, Yun Chu came over and pulled my hair for me and said, "Let's go out." “
