Chapter Ninety-Seven: Reasons for Staying

Lying on the chuang, half-asleep and half-awake, there was a sudden movement outside the house.

I woke up suddenly, and the drowsiness that was about to come was suddenly driven away!

I grabbed my coat from the chuang, quickly put it on my body, and immediately pushed the door open and went out to check.

My heart was beating fast, and when I saw the black shadow flashing outside the courtyard wall, I flew after it!

Going around, it seemed that the man was very unfamiliar with the terrain.

On a night like this, I don't have time to think about the other party's intention to come to the flower garden.

In front of you, let's catch up with that person's trail first!

In this area of the side gate of Penglai Pavilion, the most hidden trace is the bamboo forest not far away.

The night fog lingers, and the area is inaccessible.

One after the other entered the forest, a few lone birds were startled by the figure, and fluttered their wings and flew up.

The trail had lost its mark a few feet in front of me.

It's as if it never came!

I stood there, looking around at the shadow of the bamboo in the moonlight, and between the swaying bamboo shadows, there was the sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves.

I listened intently, trying to catch the different sounds from the noises, but it was futile and there was nothing suspicious.

When I followed Yun Chu, light skills and medical skills were the most painstaking work for me, and they consumed the most time.

Light skill is his requirement, and medical skills are my insistence.

The former can be used to escape in times of crisis, the latter can give me the ability to make a living, and of course, the more important reason is for him.

Right now, the person who can hide his figure in this forest, so that I can't detect the slightest movement, can be regarded as kung fu no matter what.

The Royal Palace of Sealand was very new to me. I'm not surprised at all that there are a lot of masters lurking here, but a young palace maid like me, who has just entered the palace, is still assigned to a place like a flower garden to do chores.

Is the world of masters related to me?

Is it related?

Unless there is a possibility

But I had doubts in my mind that the other party had made a disturbance outside my house. Originally, with the skills he is showing now, it can be completely unknown, which means that he intends to lure me out.

I closed my eyes and thought about it, and my heart beat faster.

For a while, I felt embarrassed to talk to the quiet bamboo forest right now, so I coughed, which was used to remind the other party that you could show up!

Lead me out. I can't hide in sight, what are you called!

After a while, there was a small sound in the bamboo forest opposite, like the sound of clothing rubbing against bamboo poles.

When the figure landed in front of me, I felt a pang of disappointment.

"What's the matter with you?" I quickly adjusted my feelings. I don't want him to see how I'm feeling.

I glanced at Scarface, unhappy that he had come in the middle of the night to lead me in the middle of the night to follow me and deliberately create a mysterious and mysterious act.

Before he could answer, I suddenly remembered the humiliation I had received in the flower garden today, and the unobtrusive boy Mo Yan did not speak excessively! "Well, what did you say to your brother," I emphatically emphasized the word "brother," though I couldn't figure out how they could have become brothers. The age difference is not small!

"As soon as I arrived, I was sent to the flower garden." "With the way you look now, do you still want to serve the national teacher in close quarters as soon as you enter Penglai Pavilion?" The scar-faced man whispered. "It's nice to have a flower garden for you to come."

I looked at him with a frown. Ignoring his poisonous tongue, he said: "Whether it's the flower garden or the Huanyi Bureau, I'm only staying for a while, I don't really care about this, but how do I present the box to him." ”

What I couldn't figure out the most was that I had to take advantage of this opportunity. Ask him in person.

"You've told me all the codes on your connectors, and you've thought so thoughtfully. Why don't you ask about the situation here and decide where I want to stay? ”

When I think of Angelica Angelica, it is necessary to say to him, "You know. The housekeeper of this flower garden is a young girl, and she is also a vinegar jar, and she has to go to Penglai Pavilion to send flowers every day, but a few days ago, a new person from Qingsi Hall had an idea to do it instead of her. "When I got there, I lost my manners again, which made the empress angry."

"That beauty, now the Raccoon Bureau is doing the lowest errand."

"You're a fool?" I said dissatisfiedly, "I don't have the ability to go over to the house to find that one." ”

"I think there's something wrong with your plan, so it's better to ask someone else."

The scar-faced man has been listening to me quietly, the expression on his face has not changed, listening to me say a word, pause, he suddenly asked: "Who taught you light skills?" ”

It's just that the bull's head is not in the horse's mouth, why is this person talking so jumpy, he can't grasp the rhythm anymore, can he continue to talk?

But how do I answer? My heart sank.

I sighed and raised my head to him and said, "What is the importance of who teaches light skills, do you want to tell me that I can come out and chase your traces, which means that I am good at light skills?" ”

"I can't be bold enough to go to Penglai Pavilion at night."

"You can." The scar-faced man hung his head.

"I don't bother to do it," I said with a little anger, "Besides, I don't think I can, there must be a lot of the empress's subordinates over there, I don't want to be arrested as a madman who covets other people's beauty and ** before I complete the task." "Also, it's even more rude to disturb people."

I replied stiffly, and turned my eyes to look at the bamboo shadows swaying in the wind, and the moonlight gilded a layer of silver light on the thousands of green bamboos.

There was a brief silence in the bamboo forest, but fortunately, there was no third uninvited guest in this area!

"I left in a hurry, you sneaked in like a thief, and I didn't even take the box with me," I guessed why he had come to me, and gave myself a hypothesis, "or you will come with me back to the garden where I live." ”

"I'll just give it back to you."

The scarface man stared at me as if he had found something in my face.

His eyes were intent, but he could see my heart fluttering.

"What do you mean?" I finally couldn't help but ask, "What should I do next?" ”

"Xiaoling." Scarface called out to me suddenly. "Do you have a clue what you're going to do?"

I thought about it for a moment, and understood that he was asking me if I couldn't help me again if I gave up the task he had given me.

After all, I had an agreement with him. "Well," I said, waving my hand. "I don't ask you to help me, I'll find another way."

I don't like to owe favors, plus it's a deal agreement, one for the other! "When I promised you, I miscalculated the difficulty of the task, no. I didn't expect you to have a very bad relationship with that little kid, the scholar named Mo Yan, or a waiter. "Did he not know your intention to ask me to come, or did he know that he deliberately dug a hole?"

"Right now, I think the biggest problem is how do I get out of here."

"What are you going out for?" The scarface man gave me a strange look.

"What can you do if you don't go out, plant flowers. Loosening the soil, fertilizing and watering? ”

"I'm not really a gardener, so I don't have much interest in that."

The scar-faced man suddenly smiled, an inexplicable smile, and I was even more confused.

He lowered his head, his tone could not hear the fluctuations, and he lowered his voice and said, "I started with those brothers and experienced many changes again and again. Even for a difficult task like Bering Mountain, I have seen how many life and death parts during the period"

What is he saying? I couldn't understand it even more.

Such a night, such a bamboo forest in the wind. He's here to talk to me about life and his state of mind?

But there was something appealing about his story, and I was unconsciously drawn into that atmosphere.

"I thought people like me were cold enough," Scarface finally looked up at me and said, "I didn't expect to meet someone more indifferent than me." ”

"Xiaoling. Why did you come to this house? I don't know, but Penglai Pavilion is here. Is there really no reason for you to put more effort into it and stay longer? ”

For a moment, my heart was beating wildly, and I couldn't take my eyes off him, could it be that I had inadvertently revealed something?

I stared at him, but he didn't say much, turned to me and said, "The time limit I said earlier is two or three days, but it's just talking, and I won't ask you to do it, if you really plan to leave, I'll come back to you in three days." ”

His figure was fleeting, and he disappeared on the other side of the bamboo forest, leaving me in place for a while before I could relax

I slowly pushed the door of the utility room open, and took out the baggage I brought from under the bed, and for the sake of safety, in addition to the outer box containing the booklet in the Qingsi Palace, the scar-faced man also found another box to cover outside.

The space between the two boxes was filled with a material similar to that of modern shockproof.

This well-protected box is important, and it was really solemn when he gave it to me!

But it didn't matter, when he went to the flower garden at night, he didn't even take the initiative to mention it.

I couldn't figure out what the other person was trying to say

My thoughts were a mess, and I woke up late in the morning.

I was lying on the table, entangled in a nightmare, when suddenly I was awakened by a shout outside the door! "Xiaoling girl, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

I rubbed my eyes, it was Uncle Yuan's voice.

After a quick combing, I pushed the door and went out.

Uncle Yuan was holding a small basket with a few things to eat.

"Don't get up later than Miss Qingzhi, I came to call you on purpose, asking you to eat quickly and go to the flower garden to do things."

"You just came, stay here for a while, lest Qingzhi come to pick your thorns."

"Uncle Yuan, I'm glad you are here."

I stood outside the flowerbed conservatory, and when I saw Qingzhi talking to Mo Yan, I was still a step late.

Before the two of them approached, Mo Yan had already noticed me first, he glanced at me coldly, lifted a flower basket on the ground, turned around and walked away.

Qingzhi didn't show me a look, she beckoned me to go over, and there was another flower basket at the door of the conservatory.

"Xiaoling, you have to send me a pot of flowers today."

I said yes.

"Do you know the way from the palace to the Lin De Palace?" (To be continued)
