I pushed the door open and looked out into the path. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw that in the shade of the trees, someone came over with a lantern in the dark night.

I watched the figure from afar.

The faint light reflected the man's appearance, but it was still not very clear from a distance that was not too close.

However, I knew that the person who came must not be Master Wan.

As the figure approached, I could see the man clearly.

I wasn't mistaken, the other party was a young attendant.

He looked a little smaller than the one who had led the way for us.

If you look closely at the man's appearance, he must not be conspicuous in the middle of a group of attendants.

The man saw me, and approached me, and when he came to me, he stopped a little distance.

He looked at me very closely, his eyes falling on my face until I felt a little awkward at the sight.

Since I arrived at the house, this is the second guy to appear in front of me with a strange look.

To say Ah Rong...... That's because there was a misunderstanding, and the other party thought I was Xiaolin, the son of Dr. Wu of Nanhua Town.

I realized this as early as when I met Wu Yu in the broken temple.

At that time, I was dressed very similar to Wu Yu, and we were surprised when we met.

Later, when the two of us sat down to talk, I soon learned about the situation in Wu Yu's house.

I'm kind of friends with her.

It wasn't until I went separately after I went out of the broken temple with her, I followed the people of the dart bureau to the north, and Wu Yu went south according to the plan.

As long as you understand the cause and effect, it is actually about entering the house...... I was mistaken for this by Ah Rong...... It's not too obtrusive.

The question is this person at the moment, and what is the matter with him?

When I looked at him, I couldn't help but wonder.

He looked at it and handed over the things in his hand, looked at me and said calmly, "You are a craftsman who lives here, aren't you?" ”

I hesitated for a moment before I looked at him and nodded, and said with just one word: "Yes!" ”

For a moment, a shy smile flashed across his face.

I quietly observed him, thinking to myself that this man should be a waiter who had not been in the mansion for too long, but he looked quite kind.

Because when I was talking, I didn't feel the same as the squire who led the way.

He said softly to me, "This is dinner for you." ”

I lowered my head and took it, and saw that there were only a few cold steamed buns in the basket, and I was a little depressed.

This food ...... It's not even in time for the training ground of the pioneer camp in the mountains! The key is that the amount is too small.

I looked at him, took a deep breath, and asked in as friendly a friendly tone as possible, "I'm sorry, but there are three people living in our yard!" ”

He glanced in the direction I was pointing at the small courtyard behind me and didn't answer.

I pointed to the basket, hesitated for a few seconds before looking at him helplessly and said, "These steamed buns sent don't seem to be enough to eat!" ”

I looked at him in embarrassment: "You say...... What should I do? ”

The steamed buns in this basket want me to tell the truth...... There was not enough food for two people.

Now that Master Wan has gone shopping on the street and hasn't come back, Ah Rong and I can't eat all the food!

He's our temporary master, so we'll have to leave him at least a little.

In this way, the food in the basket brought by the attendant is not enough for three people!

If I don't bring it up now while the attendant is still there, who will I talk to when he is gone?

It's not like a few of us can walk around in this yard at will, can we?

The attendant looked at me, a look of apology flashed on his face, and he paused and took a step closer to me and whispered, "I don't know very well, but someone else sent me to send it, and I can't be the master." ”

"I didn't even see anything in it before I came."

I looked at him with a frown, and the image of another squire came to mind, and I had some kind of guess.

How much does that man dislike us?

That's all the food for the three of them? Is this feeding the cat?

Dinner arrived, and the situation was a little awkward.

At this moment, the attendant looked like he was about to leave, so I had to sigh and thank him by the way.

Anyway, it's so cold, and it's not his task to be pulled over, and it's not too much to say thank you.

It's already dark today, and even if I feel uneasy, I think I'll have to wait until tomorrow when the female officer comes to inspect, and it would be more appropriate to bring it up with her when I find an opportunity.

You can't just rush into the front yard, I don't think it's good.

Someone else may not have so many scruples, but I'm worried that I will meet Gu Qimei in the house!

Although I changed my makeup and deliberately made it look like a boy, Gu Qimei is more careful, what if she sees a flaw?

...... As I watched the squire walk away, I stood there and watched him cross the path in the woods before disappearing around the bend ahead.

I stood still and looked at it, turned around and walked out into the yard with the basket, the depression still not gone.

I walked all the way to the door of the side house, looking at the light inside, I felt that the basket in my hand was a little heavy.

Later, I adjusted my mood and walked in.

...... His eyes swept over the things on the table, and Ah Rong, who was in the room, put down the tools in his hand and turned to look back at the door.

As soon as he saw the basket in my hand, his expression changed, and he immediately walked over quickly.

"Xiaolin, the person from outside just now is here to deliver this?"

I don't know what to say, this thing is really not done by the people in the house.

"yes!" After a long pause, I answered with a wry smile, "You told me it was dinner." ”

I stretched out the basket and handed it to Ah Rong and said, "I've seen it, there are only a few cold steamed buns in it, what do you say you should do?" ”

I frowned and muttered to myself: "Ah Rong, Master Wan is not here at this time, the two of us are almost the same as sharing this bit of steamed buns, not to mention that we have to keep some for him!" ”

Ah Rong lifted the cloth covering his head and looked down at the food in the basket, and made a silent sound.

It can be seen that his mood is not very good.

Who can be happy when they look at the contents of the basket!

A trace of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I lowered my voice and said, "I didn't expect that when I came here, the treatment would be so bad, and it was not as good as the training camp in the mountains!" ”

If it wasn't the squire who was in the way, I can't think of any other reason.

I looked at him and couldn't help but complain: "Ah Rong, we were in the training ground of the pioneer camp for a while...... But there is hot soup to drink, and there is a special person in charge of cooking! ”

That Young Master Xiong is in charge of the camp's meals, didn't he even help me get food?

I don't know what kind of front-line camp Ah Rong is like, but the soldiers under Sister Gu Qimei's command, I don't think they should be treated too badly.

I heard that there are several camps in the nearby mountains, but General Gu has always been on the front line.

Ah Rong looked at me and pointed to the basket and said, "Xiaolin, if you are hungry, eat first." ”

I was stunned for a moment, but instantly understood what he meant, and quickly shook my head and said, "That's not what I meant." ”

I felt that he had misunderstood, so I looked at him and said, "Even if there is only one steamed bun, since it is a companion who does things together, of course it will be scored." ”

"I'm just saying that the people in the house are a bit excessive, and they are assigned to do things."

He looked at the steamed bun for a few seconds, then raised his head and smiled at me: "Xiaolin, I know what you mean, you eat well, it doesn't matter." ”

I didn't stretch out my hand, just looked at him and repeated the conversation before.

I looked at Ah Rong and said, "The person who delivered the food said that someone else asked him to send it, and when he took it away, even he didn't expect that there would be so few things in it." ”

"If I think about it, maybe it's the guy who led the way for us in the afternoon!"

"He just doesn't want to see us!"

"Your Majesty still has a female official by her side, and someone may come to the courtyard tomorrow morning to inspect it," I continued after deliberation, "We can mention it to her then, if this is still the case......"

Ah Rong shook his head when he heard this, and interrupted me: "As long as the female official asks about this matter, that person will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!" ”

"I've never heard of anything like this, the master craftsman must have enough to eat if he wants to work."

"Alright, let's settle for now."

I reached out and was about to take the steamed buns, thinking that there was not even a bowl of water, what should I do?

So I looked at him and said, "There's a well in the corner of the yard, or ...... Go get some water first, boil some hot water before eating. ”

He thought for a while and looked at me and said, "I'll go fetch water, Xiaolin, you go and make a fire." ”

I swept my gaze over Ah Rong, looked at his figure, and still listened to his opinion, the gap was obvious.

Leave the hard work of fetching water to him, and I'll be in charge of making the stove.

I didn't expect to come to the house, and the first time I lit the stove, I didn't help Master Wan boil medicine, but boiled water for myself.

Ah Rong moved quickly, and after a short while, he brought the water.

It took me a long time to light the fire, and when I straightened up, Ah Rong looked at me and grinned.

I wiped it with my hand, and sure enough, my face was covered with dust.

I was embarrassed to reach out and wipe it off, but I didn't dare to wipe it too hard.

Although I knew that the medicine I applied was not so easy to wear, I was always a little apprehensive.

...... When the fire was lit, I found a small pot in the house, took it out and washed it, and put it on the stove.

I pondered...... I don't know who lived here before, so I didn't have a chance to ask.

At that moment, I looked at the fire, and suddenly remembered Yuan Xiu, she said that her grandfather was a gardener in the house, didn't he always live in the house?

My eyes lit up, and I immediately thought that if I met Yuan Xiu next time, I could tactfully ask her about the inside story here.

She'd been living in the yard for so long, maybe she knew who lived here before.

I also wanted to inquire about something else, because this was the first time I had met her, and the two of us were completely unfamiliar with her, so it was inconvenient to ask too many questions.

I decided to take advantage of these days to stay in the house, and I had to try my luck in the woods outside the west gate.

If you're lucky, you might even meet Yuan Xiu.

The girl looked very nice, and her face was very kind.

...... There was no tea, so I had to boil water.

Watching the water in the small pot on the stove gradually emit white vapor, I stood by and watched motionlessly.

Ah Rong turned back to the temporary warehouse in the side house and helped Master Wan organize his things with great interest.

His mood was only low for a short while, and at this time, watching the hot water boiling, he finally had something to eat.

It seems that Ah Rong is idle, and he doesn't want to waste time waiting, so he starts working again.

According to him, when Master Wan returns, he will be happy to see the sorted items in the warehouse.

Speaking of which, he is the qualified assistant, more competent than me!

...... Looking out of the window, the shadows of the trees shook in the distance.

I stood by the stove, and on a small table beside me were the herbs I had brought with me from the apothecary in Northland.

Before leaving, if it wasn't for the reminder of the young owner, I guess I would definitely forget to bring it.

I was idle, and I couldn't help but open the bag of medicinal herbs in my baggage, take it in my hand and look at it.

I have a special fondness for medicinal herbs, and the thought of the effects these things can have is very rewarding to hold in my hands.

The medicinal materials are divided into two categories, one is the disfigurement powder I prepared, and there are still a lot of them, and I have brought them.

The other is the medicinal herbs that Master Wan needs to take that must be boiled, and in his current condition, he will need to use them for at least two days.

I opened the paper bag brought by the pharmacy under the lamplight, and held it in my hand and looked at it for a long time.

At this moment, I faintly heard a soft knock on the door, which seemed to be coming from a certain direction.

I was a little out of shape, and I hesitated for a moment to make out the voice, as if it was coming from the west gate of the courtyard.

I was standing by the stove, and the water was almost boiling and I couldn't leave, but Ah Rong happened to come to the courtyard to inspect the carriage.

He stood in the middle of the courtyard, and when he heard the sound, he immediately took a few steps towards the closed door on the west side of the courtyard.

He hesitated, then raised his voice near the door and asked, "Who?!" ”

...... I immediately looked up into the courtyard and saw Ah Rong approaching the door, and then he stood there and listened for a while.

The knock on the door never rang again.

I heard him mutter, and then walked back to the storeroom in the side room.

I looked at the door on the west side of the courtyard and had a guess in my mind.

At this time, the water boiling on the small stove was finally boiling.

I stood up and carefully removed the pot from the stove and placed it directly on the ground beside me.

Then I put away the herbs on the table and put them back in my baggage.

I don't plan to boil this medicine in advance, so it's not too late to start getting it when Master Wan comes back.

I went to the storeroom to look for Ah Rong, and he came with me.

The two of them ate some steamed buns with the hot water in the bowl first.

Because we missed dinner for so long, we were so hungry that we couldn't even talk while eating.

After a while, Ah Rong drank a bowl of water, put down the bowl in his hand, looked at me, and said, "Xiaolin, I seem to have heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard just now, and when I went out to look, I ...... Did you hear that? ”
