Chapter 275: Always Missing
I was walking on a street in the city of Yingtian.
I asked several people along the road, and I was asked about the way to walk the alley near Zhengdemen.
The strange thing is that some of the people who were asked were unwilling to answer me at all, and some of them were busy when they heard me talk about Zhengdemen.
It looks mysterious, which makes me have more expectations for the house in that alley.
After turning two corners, and seeing that it was not far from the walls of the palace, I finally found the right way.
I subconsciously looked around, and there were no pedestrians in the long and quiet alley, but I saw the tall locust tree in the distance, and the carriage I had seen several times parked at the door.
I walked slowly over and lingered in the doorway for a moment, pondering the words I needed to use for a moment, then curled my fingers and knocked lightly on the door
No one came to open the door, and there was no movement from inside the door, and disappointment welled up in my heart, and I stopped there, thinking about whether I should go first
Eventually, I knocked on the door again, and this time, someone appeared, but it wasn't someone from the courtyard inside the door.
The unmoving carriage parked at the door suddenly opened its curtains, and the man of the same race I had met several times came out of the carriage.
He changed his outfit and changed into the clothes of ordinary people.
Because he was tall and burly, the clothes were a little tight and wrapped around his body, and there was a restraint between his movements, far less chic and natural than the exotic clothes he wore before.
"Do you have a problem?"
He got out of the carriage with a hat in his hand, the color of which was different from the one I had seen in the morning, and it was one of the more common ones in Yingtian City.
I thought about it, if he wore this clothes and covered his true face with a hat, even if he walked on the streets of Yingtian, he wouldn't look so eye-catching.
He took a few steps closer to me and repeated, "What's the matter with you?" ”
The voice was still the same as the one I had heard the other time, with a slight alien accent.
I looked up at him and said, "I'm here to find your son-in-law." ”
Just now, when there was no one under the tree, I thought about how to knock on the door and make a statement, and I had already thought clearly. It's just to pay back, nothing else, just pay back.
But in this situation, I regretted it as soon as I said it, and I said that I wanted to find that person as soon as I opened my mouth!
Hearts and mouths are different!
On the contrary, he did not feel strange, but looked at me seriously, and his eyes focused on my head, where the wound had been bandaged by Dr. Chen and wrapped in a clean white cloth.
"It's raining?" He asked me a brief question.
I was half a beat slower to react to what he said.
There had been a rain in Yingtian City just now. There are quite a few waterlogged potholes on the ground on the road. He probably thought I slipped on a rainy day and fell and broke my head.
I didn't expect such an interracial man who looked five big and three thick. Still a careful person.
I thought about it, and I didn't want to explain too much, so I nodded and smiled: "Yes, I fell." ”
He gave me a sympathetic look. The tone was much softer: "Childe came back in the morning and went to sleep, and he hasn't woken up yet." ”
"He's not in good health today, you have something to do, come back to him tomorrow."
I glanced at him earnestly and said, "I live far away, it's not easy to come here, or you can pass a word for me, he should wake up in the morning until now." ”
The alien man shook his head involuntarily and said, "That's not good. ”
I sighed, counted the money out of my purse, and handed it to him: "Then I will ask you to give it back to him for me." In the morning I asked him about the money he borrowed. ”
The alien man hesitated for a moment and said, "You wait for me for a while." ”
With that, he took the money I handed him, pushed open the door of the house, and walked in.
The corner of the courtyard exposed between the cracks in the door is elegant and beautiful, and I am scared. The long-lost feeling of déjà vu returned.
I squatted down and leaned against the corner of the wall in some discomfort.
A moment later, the door was opened again, and the alien man who had just walked in hurriedly walked out, still holding a medicine bottle in his hand, and he handed the medicine bottle to me and said, "This is for healing, and Childe is worthy of it." ”
I was in high spirits, and "Tengdi" stood up and looked at him and said, "What did you say?" This medicine was prepared by Childe? ”
"Which son, is that the one who sat in your car?" I asked in a hurried tone.
The alien man looked at me like a fool and said, "Who else?" Of course it's him. ”
He pointed to the medicine in my hand and emphasized: "This medicine is very powerful, it must be better than the doctor in your shop, I advise you to use this." “
The alien man saw that I was holding the medicine in my hand and didn't speak, he looked at me carefully for a while, and suddenly came to me without a head: "Do you have sisters?" ”
That's what you ask?
I looked up at him with wide eyes and puzzled, "Why do you ask this?" ”
He muttered something in an alien language I didn't understand, and after a few second pauses, he explained to me, "Just ask." ”
I looked at him seriously, and it seemed like he was asking casually, although this question was strange, but I didn't want to lie to him.
I said frankly: "I have no brothers and sisters, I am alone in Yingtian, I am an orphan, from the mountains. ”
The interracial man's eyes flashed with a hint of complicated emotion, and his lips moved but he didn't speak. "Thank you." I raised the small medicine bottle in my hand and said, "By the way, thank you for me." “
I carried the herbs I received from the medical hall and the medicine given to me by the alien man, and slowly returned the way I came.
The man behind him shouted, "Do you want me to give you a ride?" “
I turned my head and shook my head at him.
I don't know why, but when I heard him tell me my address this morning, I had an inexplicable feeling that I could meet him again.
The accident that happened this morning and the half-day vacation I got made me faintly happy in my heart, including inquiring along the way, and I also had an expectation in my heart.
But at this moment, my whole body seemed to be drained of strength, I felt that my steps were extremely heavy, my calves seemed to be filled with lead, and the wound on my head hurt even more.
People's mood is really inseparable from the state, once the mood is bad, the state is completely bad.
I didn't think it was when I came, but now I feel that the road is long when I go back, and I walked through one street and the next.
The small compound where I live is still far away from me
In the courtyard of the alley near Zhengdemen, the man lying on the couch and his clothes in the window pavilion has just woken up.
He had already changed into the strange outfit he had worn on Yingtian Street, and was wearing a simple moon-white brocade robe at the moment. The waterfall-like clouds and hair are scattered as always.
The black eyes that were as still as water as they were staring at the big tree in the courtyard.
The mansion in Lost Valley also has a large tree similar to this one.
On the snowy night I left, the handwriting engraved on it was probably still there.
It's just that things are people, and it's better not to see each other
Those laughter, tears, embracing each other under the moon, lingering thoughts, as if they had been buried deep in that winter snowy night.
On the streets of Yingtian, she was a stranger one by one, and every sentence was piercing. But how do you explain it to her?
A person who has already "died". A forgotten man.
If you can let go. Far away, the outcome she can get may not be worse.
After all, there is still such a person by her side
A sudden knock interrupted the thoughts. He looked up, and his bright eyes fell on the man who had come in through the door. "Childe." Aman didn't dare to look at him, and this habit was still retained from the day he woke up. "What?" Xiao Chu bowed his head and said. "When will we get back to the mountains?" Ah Man hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "I don't like Yingtian." “
When Xiao Chu heard this, his inquiring gaze turned to him.
"As soon as you come to Yingtian, your better body is going to toss around, and you won't listen to my advice at all." Ah Man scratched his head and said distressedly, "The young man from the hospital ran out in the middle of the night." You can't stop it. "Just for that black-faced kid."
The corners of Xiao Chu's mouth moved, and the low smile caused a burst of pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but cover the corners of his mouth and cough.
Ah Man looked at him worriedly, this injury was so dangerous that it almost killed him, and Ah Man wanted to help him. Childe's only one look made him look away, and he stopped in place and didn't dare to move!
Childe, he has a strong side that cannot be disobeyed!
Xiao Chu slowed down, looked at Aman helplessly, and said in a slowed tone: "Don't take it as an example." ”
"I don't like Ying Tian now," Xiao Chu took a deep breath, and there was an irrepressible chill in his eyes, "Let's leave tomorrow morning." ”
Ah Man was so happy that he almost didn't jump up, he stopped in this place, he was not used to it at all, it was still good in the mountains, the air was fresh, and he could hunt.
In the mountains, Childe has nowhere to go, just stay in the house and recuperate.
After another year and a half, maybe Gongzi can follow him to hunt in the valley!
Ah Man grinned and said, "I'll go out later, buy more things, and take it with the car tomorrow." ”
"Whatever you want." The corners of Xiao Chu's mouth moved, "Just take the silver yourself." "Okay." Ah Man was even happier, reaching out and taking out a money bag containing silver tickets and scattered silver coins in his sleeve, he counted them, "I have enough money on me." “
With the movement of his fingers, Ah Man touched the ten cents lying alone in the money bag, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Xiao Chu's acuity was as sharp as ever, and he suddenly sensed that something was wrong with him!
Aman is a simple-minded person, and his joys, angers, sorrows and joys are written on his face. "Something?" Xiao Chu asked.
Ah Man hurriedly shook his head, at this time, it is better not to talk about it first, anyway, it is only ten cents, and his son-in-law will not take it seriously.
Ah Man felt that he had been careful enough, and he specially asked the black-faced boy if he had any brothers and sisters, but he clearly said no.
That guy doesn't look like a deceive at all, besides, what's there to deceive about this kind of thing, if there is, if there is, if there is no, if there is nothing.
When I saw such a pair of beautiful eyes that were exactly the same as Childe's paintings, Ah Man was really shocked, but it was a beautiful and white girl.
It's a pity that such a beautiful pair of eyes grow on the body of a black-faced kid!
Thinking of this, Ah Man shook his head again and said; "It's nothing, Childe, I'm out of the house."
