Chapter 220: A Difficult Return
Xu Xiaochan looked out the window, shook her head and said, "Xiaomei, it's you who are clumsy and mistaken!" "What a noble identity that son is."
"It's far from being comparable to ordinary people here in the southwest."
"It's a pity, it's a pity, he only has Dr. Lin in his eyes."
The maid sighed and said.
"That's right, girl, he still has a wife, and he keeps calling Dr. Lin his wife."
Xu Xiaochan turned her head to look at her, and suddenly smiled faintly.
"Xiaomei, that Doctor Lin is still a little girl, and these two people are definitely not married." Xu Xiaochan whispered, "So I tested him, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes."
The maid glanced at Xu Xiaochan thoughtfully, and the corner tower fell into silence again, and only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves of the magnolia tree outside the window could be heard
Towards the end of the evening, we finally returned to the Shao Kee Restaurant where we had gathered together for dinner and drinking.
Steward Hu had already been waiting in the shadow of the tree at the entrance of the restaurant, and even the carriage that took us down the mountain was there.
Seeing me and Yun Chu's figures appear on the street corner, the steward Hu hurried over and said, "You guys are finally back, you have to hurry back to the mountain house, hurry up and get into the carriage." ”
Since the music fang came out, I have been a little out of the world, and I haven't even said a word to Yun Chu along the way.
In my mind, not only did I recall the scene just now with some inexplicable encounters, but the most important thing was that I was shocked by the answer blurted out by Yun Chu in the corner tower.
If Yun Chu is said to be in the time that the two of us get along, he will occasionally change his way to hurt me a few words. Hit me a little, and every time I get into a little argument with him.
In those moments, I wanted to argue like a negative child, but deep down, I knew exactly what my situation was.
Xu Xiaochan's episode made me look at it again, to be honest, I can afford to be a person like Yun Chu. Once again, a certain suspicion arose.
How can I be virtuous, and why?
The uncertainty that had been hidden for a long time rose from the bottom of my heart at this moment, and I kept shouting, dragging down my steps with a bit of heaviness.
Can I really live up to that good word?
I smiled self-deprecatingly!
Yun Chu just walked silently by my side along the way, and he didn't ask if I didn't speak.
The shout of the caretaker made me quickly gather my mind and no longer bother with the problem I was thinking about.
I don't need to respond to him, but at such a moment, I have to continue my identity in the Shao family's mansion without revealing any flaws.
I shrank behind Yun Chu, and the more familiar I became at this action.
"I took my sister a few more streets. Long waiting! ”
"I'm sorry." Yun Chu said softly, his dark eyes looking at Hu Guan sincerely.
I subconsciously looked up at him, but saw a dense layer of sweat on his forehead. My heart skipped a beat!
Seeing that the beard pipe was one step ahead, we boarded the carriage. I had time to interject in a whisper, "Are you okay?" ”
Yun Chu nodded, reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, smiled and gently squeezed my hand and said, "It's okay." ”
The carriage was speeding all the way, and now that the sun was approaching, the streets of the city were much colder, so the speed increased.
The meal we had before was close to noon. Now, in order to rush back to the Shao family's mansion on the West Mountain in time, I didn't calculate the whereabouts of dinner.
I estimated that it should be Steward Hu planning to rush back to reach Shao's dinner, and by the way, he sent the treasure coefficient harvested in the study to Shao Si to invite credit!
I felt uncomfortable being shaken by the bumpy carriage.
Sideways look at Yun Chu. Sure enough, beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead, and his lips were even more pale and tight.
I can't hide it anymore. I vigorously grabbed the snack bags placed on the side, glanced at them quickly, picked out the soft magnolia cake, and took a big bite of it.
Just like when I came, I don't want to eat elegantly, I just want to be fast!
Steward Hu smiled: "It seems that Yaya is hungry and can't wait." ”
I ignored the mouth full of dim sum dregs, and lifted the magnolia cake as if offering a treasure and stuffed it into Yun Chu's mouth, while still saying vaguely: "Brother eats delicious"
It was the first time that Steward Hu heard me talking in the carriage, he couldn't suppress the surprise in his eyes, and looked at me for a while before he opened his mouth and said to Yun Chu: "Your sister actually knows to give you bread!" “
Nonsense!
Even if it is set by referring to Yun Chu, the stupid girl with a black belly, it is just that I fell and became cowardly, and my brain is not very good, and I am not a complete idiot!
I cursed a few words in my heart, but continued to do what I did just now, looking at Yun Chu with a bit of urgency in my eyes.
I thought about it later, at the moment, Lilac in the Shao family's mansion was still a maid who didn't talk much, and she didn't leak the conversation between me and her to a third party.
I could say more than one word in front of her.
Yun Chu's hand between his chest and abdomen loosened slightly, his eyes were full of pampering, and he smiled softly at me: "Yes, it has been much better in the past few years, and I know that I feel sorry for my brother." “
After that, he reluctantly took a bite of the snack in my hand, knowing that he had no appetite for food at all, but he couldn't bear to brush my mind.
There was a sour feeling in my heart, and I quickly handed him the kettle.
Steward Hu saw it in his eyes, looked at me for a few seconds, and said to Yun Chu in an affirmative tone: "Mr. Chu, if you have the opportunity, there is a place to recommend to you." ”
"You can take your sister to the southern part of Zealand, where there are high-ranking monks and hermits, I heard that the medical skills are superb, if you can ask to see her, maybe you can completely cure Ling Mei."
My ears moved, how did this place sound so familiar?
Where have I heard that?
After searching my mind for memories of the past, I finally remembered. This is what I heard my father mention at the beginning of the crossing.
No, if it's also a country, this place that is only mentioned in occasional conversations is too lacking.
Speaking of which, I haven't been to Sealand either, and the Silver Country and the Sea Country are even more legendary, but those places are obviously much more frequent among the world's mouths than the Brahmanian Kingdom!
Monk? Hermit? It's because it's enclosed in a corner. I don't have dealings with other countries, and I've always kept it mysterious?!
I couldn't stop the curiosity in my heart, but I couldn't ask questions at this time.
Right now, I'm going to feed some food to Yun Chu's mouth first.
I'm afraid he's already in pain!
I listened to the chatter of the butler a few words, Yun Chu ate a few mouthfuls of snacks and drank some water, and my heart settled down a little.
The carriage left Yizhou City, and traveled down the slope of the west mountain with a puff of smoke, and the bumps were even worse.
From my point of view, with the shaking of the carriage, Yun Chu's face became whiter and whiter. There was still a long way to go from the Shao family's mansion, and the butler who was sitting opposite us on the other side of the carriage had already leaned against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
From morning to now, I have come down in Yizhou City. It's a lie to say that you're not tired!
I silently approached Yun Chu. He handed his hand over and held his hands tightly in front of his chest, and he couldn't hide the distress in his eyes.
My lips moved, and I said silently, "Isn't it very uncomfortable?" “
He didn't shake his head for the first time, and raised his hand to half-clasp me in his arms, feeling his arms tighten. He didn't speak, just leaned his head slightly, sweat slid down his forehead and down his cheeks, and he whispered in my ear, "It's fine." “
This journey back to the Shao Mansion compound in Xishan in Yizhou, I felt that it became extremely long and worrying
Yun Chu leaned back on the couch. He lowered his head and coughed a few times, and finally arrived at the small courtyard where we lived. After resting for a while, his face looked better than the torment in the car just now.
I lay on the edge of the couch and watched him take a few pills, but I knew how quickly they would work.
After a moment of thought, I grabbed his arm and said, "Why don't you talk to me?" ”
Just distract yourself and maybe relieve him of some pain.
I adjusted my feelings and deliberately picked a topic that I was happy about.
"Yun Chu, you told me in Lefang, you said that the garden scenery over there is not beautiful two words, I heard what you mean, could it be that a certain magnificent scene you have seen far exceeds it?"
Yun Chu hid a smile in the corner of his eyes, looking at me as if he was going to ask the question, his eyes were staring at him without blinking, and he could barely spare the hand on his chest to rub my head.
"At least it's better than any place you've ever seen."
The smile froze, I glanced at him a little depressed, and then I grabbed him and smiled: "Then when will you take me?" "I haven't seen it, I've not been to as many places as you." "Soon, when the Sealand trip is over, I'll consider taking you with me." Yun Chu tugged at the corners of his mouth and said.
In this way, it is a trip worth looking forward to!
I forgot about my previous worries and said to him happily, "You have to keep your word." ”
The excitement of being mentioned in an instant made my voice sound a little.
"That's nature," a subtle hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he smiled, "I promised you." "Yun Chu, I have heard of the Brahma Kingdom mentioned just now in Steward Hu," I patted my head and recalled, "When Snow Eagle was in the court, it was there where he left the Snow Country as an envoy. "Of course, it could just be an excuse." I added, recalling the reaction on everyone's faces when this place was mentioned by the people in the court.
It's a pity that the separated days are a little far away, and my focus at that time was not there, like a dragonfly crossing the water, not leaving too deep imprints, and I couldn't think clearly for a while.
"It should be used as a cover to hide the truth about the southwest."
This assumption sounds reasonable.
"But there's one thing I'm wondering, can you untie it for me?"
I propped up my elbow and propped my head and said, "The Brahma described by the steward is full of monks and hermits."
"Can this also support a country?"
After thinking about it carefully, I looked up and asked him.
"Are you sure they're not mistaken?"
