Hurried footsteps rang in my ears, from far and near.

My eyes suddenly turned to the window.

On the curved bridge, a little guy ran over out of breath.

"Why is this point being disturbed again?" I frowned and said, "No, it seems that there is a new situation." ”

My hunch is often accurate, and there are very few times when things go wrong, sure enough!

I took the letter from Cui'er and opened it in a hurry, there were only a few lines on it, and I read it quickly.

Putting down the letter, I didn't say a word, and Cui'er came forward and asked, "Girl, who came from the letter, is it the Lord?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, Cui'er, it's weird. ”

"The letter was sent by Dr. Liu."

"What's wrong with that old man?" Cui'er frowned and muttered, "Aren't we going to meet at Xueyue Tower tomorrow at noon?" ”

"It's weird, Cui'er."

I put down the letter, stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and said, "Dr. Liu said that he was going to visit the clinic tomorrow and went to Qishanzhong to see a patient, so I had to advance the meeting time." ”

"What? And in advance? Cui'er said angrily, "It is said that the little girl's mind is changeable, he is an old man, like this for a while, like that for a while, but he has to toss several times when he meets, he is very idle!" ”

"Haha," I couldn't help but smile and nodded at Cui'er's head, "He shouldn't be as idle as the two of us." ”

"Anyway, he's still a doctor, or a doctor, and we're like unemployed vagrants."

Cui'er blushed and said, "Girl, you are laughing at the slave again." ”

"The two of us are together, you said that he is much busier than us." I smiled and looked at Cui'er.

"Girl, where did he ask you to meet, didn't he say that Xueyue Tower is inconvenient at night, and the front building is a singer performance at noon during the day?" Cui'er said with some concern.

"He's going to be in advance. It's almost noon now, isn't the sun going down when you set off to Xueyue Tower? Cui'er said.

"Going to that kind of place at night. It's always bad, right, the girl won't go. Cui'er objected.

"Quite the opposite, Cui'er," I smiled at Cui'er, "as you said." That old man's mind is changeable, and his plans are changeable, and he has spent so much effort to adjust the time of this meeting to the front and back, and I still have to see him. ”

"But don't worry, he said, let's go to the front floor of Xueyue Tower to see you."

"Cui'er, he said that the back building of Xueyue Building will open at night. But because the front building is just a singer performance, the venue will be cleared tonight, and I will only be alone. ”

"Such a big face, you say. Can I not go? I looked at Cui'er with a leisurely expression.

"That's not going to work, I'll have to bring a few more people, or not. The slave and maid also disguise themselves as men and go with you, do you think it's okay? Cui'er said a little apprehensively.

"You can bring a few more servants, you better stay in the garden and wait for me, I'll go and come back quickly, don't worry." I patted Truilla on the shoulder.

…… The evening breeze was a little cool, blowing so that the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

I listened to the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the road in Qibei, and the curiosity in my heart was a little irrepressible.

I really don't know what kind of person Dr. Liu is.

It's a quick drive. I looked out through the carriage window, and there was already a large sparkling lake and mountains in front of me.

"Miss Xiaoling, our car is going to stop here, there is a boat at the dock, we can take a boat over."

I got out of the carriage, and the long causeway along the lake was covered with red lanterns, and there was a dock in front of me.

I ordered a small man to stay on the bank of the Long Beach to guard the carriage, and I took the other one to the dock to find the boatman.

The area of East Lake is much larger than I expected, and if you compare it with the West Lake that I have traveled before, it is several times larger.

The causeway stretches to the foot of Donghua Peak in Qishan.

…… I was at the dock, looking at a small boat in front of me with some embarrassment.

"Childe, I'm really sorry, I don't know what's going on today, there are a lot of guests who come to rent a boat, and ah, a rental is for several days, saying that I want to go to the river to see the scenery."

"Riverside," I frowned, "isn't this the East Lake?" Why is it on the riverside again? “

The boatman was an old man fifty miles away, and he smiled and said, "Son, you are the first to come to Qibei, right?" “

"How do you know? Elderly? I asked curiously.

"If you are a person in Qibei, you know that East Lake is a living water that connects to the river."

"I see." I tried to recall the map of Qibei that I had read, and it seemed that I was going back to correct a small mistake of mine, there was actually a waterway in East Lake that led directly to the big river at the foot of Qishan, why didn't I notice it before.

I'm a little annoyed by my carelessness, if it's a senior brother or ...... Here, they will definitely correct me for this mistake.

"This ship doesn't seem to be able to handle the weight of the two of them." I sighed and looked at the humble boat in front of me.

"Why don't you do this, Childe, I'll cross you over first, and then come back to pick up your attendants, okay?" The boat family was very welcoming.

I muttered for a few seconds and said, "No, in that case, I'll go there alone." ”

…… The boat under him bobbed gently across the lake, and the speed of the boatman was not fast but steady, and the closer he got to the island in the middle of the lake, the clearer the sound became.

I also understood the structure of the entire Snow Moon Building.

In fact, there are some discrepancies in what they said, the island in the middle of the lake was originally divided into two parts, simply said that there is an island on each side divided into north and south.

The islands are connected by pontoon bridges, and I'm going to the South Island Building, which is what they call the front building of the Snow Moon Building.

I sat in the middle of the boat, staring at the scene in front of me for a moment.

The back building of the Xueyue Building, that is, the small building where the North Island is located, is brightly lit and lively, the boat goes over, and finds that there are many search boats parked on the lake in the North Island, and there is a dock over there.

The place to dock is also the causeway on the other side.

The boatman explained to me: "Childe, those people who went to the back of Xueyue Tower all came ashore from the long causeway on the other side, in fact, if you came from that side, there might be a big ship." ”

It dawned on me that the house we lived in before we set off was much closer to the causeway on this side, and the little guy who was driving the car heard that I was going to the front building, so he rushed to the causeway on this side without hesitation.

According to the boatman's statement, most of the people who go to the front of Xueyue Tower to listen to the singer's performance are during the day, so at night, the boatmen who were originally waiting at the dock here also drove to the other side.

I suddenly thought of the lines on the letterhead. It mentions clearing the site.

The front building of Xueyue Building is going to be cleared tonight, and this is the reason why I can't hire a big ship.

…… The pier in the front building is close at hand. There were several people waiting for me along the shore.

At a glance, I saw the middle-aged man I saw when I came with the Martyrdom Pavilion that day, and he was looking at me.

Jumping ashore, I bowed my hand to the man and said, "I didn't expect to see you again today." ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man with a plain face was stunned for a moment, I realized that my outfit today was different from that day, and it was a men's outfit.

I don't dwell on it either. The other party quickly regained his composure.

Without saying a word, he made a gesture of please and led the way in front of me.

Going up the white stone steps on the shore, the gate of the front building of the Snow Moon Building appeared in front of me.

The whole building has four pillars and three floors, of which a large area is made of white stone, which is elegant in color.

I thought to myself that I was clearing the field today, and I had to enjoy this rare privilege.

I suddenly remembered a question, and I was about to ask the middle-aged man who led the way. But he didn't say a word like a stuffy gourd, and I didn't feel interested in asking questions.

I went up the stairs into the lobby, and a small servant led me up to the third floor.

The meeting place was the private room on the third floor of the Snow Moon Building, and I walked in. The walls are decorated with ink paintings, and the east side of the wall is separated by a row of gauze curtains, which are separated by beautifully carved screens.

I knew this was it. He sat down on the desk in the center of the room.

The little guy who brought me here said, "Childe, please wait a moment, Doctor Liu will be here soon." ”

After that, he served me a pot of tea.

Do you want to do it again? I looked at the pot of tea, opened the lid, and the fragrance of tea came to my face, which was indeed the familiar taste of "Qishan Huangling".

I was about to pick up the teacup when my heart beat a few beats faster. I heard movement from behind the screen on the east side, could it be that there was another entrance to this elegant room?

A soft voice came from behind the screen: "It's really late, Miss Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

After that, a beautiful woman walked out from behind the screen, and I couldn't take my eyes off her, and I was stunned for a while!

The person in front of him was slender, delicate and beautiful, wearing a moon-white gauze skirt, with eyebrows and mountains, a nose and teeth, and a pair of bright eyes looking forward to Shenfei.

She looked at me and said with a smile, "I need to heal the sick before I leave, so it's too late." ”

What's the situation?

I suppressed the surprise in my heart, stood up and said, "This girl, it is Dr. Liu who is in the next appointment, did you go to the wrong private room?" “

As soon as the words came out, I remembered that the field was cleared today, so why did I say it wrongly.

The beauty smiled brightly, lightly opened her lips and said, "That's right, I'm Dr. Liu from Qibei." “

Heaven and earth, who told me that Dr. Liu was an old man?!

I looked at her speechlessly for a moment, not knowing what to say.

The beauty smiled: "Are you Xiaoling?" ”

I saw her snow-white fingers gently pick up the teacup, elegantly put it to her lips and took a sip, and then put it down gently.

Her eyes fluttered, and she said softly to me: "I heard that my senior brother rescued a girl in distress when he traveled in the snow country, and today I finally have the fate to meet her." “

Brother? Snowpiercer? Saved?

I looked at the pleasing beauty in front of me without a clue, and I was a little distracted to realize that her beauty was a little different from the beauty I had seen before.

I have seen the Ninth Princess, and I have seen Bai Ziyao's only daughter Bai Wushuang, who loves like a treasure, all of them are great beauties.

If you compare, Bai Wushuang is better than the Ninth Princess, and she is definitely a super beauty!

But the beauties in front of me are a little different from them.

What's the difference, and what is the difference?

I couldn't help but think about it, and soon came to the conclusion that she had that kind of pitiful temperament with three points of sickness.

I haven't seen this kind of temperament in the beauties I've seen before.
