The continuous walls on the outskirts of the city enclose a territory cut off from the outside world......

In the middle of the night, footsteps suddenly came from the side door of the east courtyard.

It is rare that on such a night, there are no night guards by this inconspicuous side door in the corner of the east courtyard.

Because of today's holiday, all the nursing homes take turns to drink, and it is a coincidence that some people are greedy for too many drinks, which makes a rare gap by the small door.

The man who came out of the door was described as thin, about thirty years old, and judging by the clothes on his body, he was no different from the other people's homes.

Usually mixed in with them, and stayed for two years.

In the past two years, he has hidden the shrewd and strong temperament on his body, and he seems to be submissive, and he is placed in the East Courtyard to stand out from the crowd.

He paused at the door for a few seconds, noticing that his surroundings were calm, before quietly pushing the door out of the courtyard.

Outside was a large forest, and his eyes faintly flashed in the moonlight, with the usual look of two years ago.

All the way through the winding and eight-bending path, he quickly walked out of the forest, outside the forest, there was already a carriage waiting there.

The person in the car lifted the corner of the curtain, and with an anxious look on his face, she was relieved to see the black-clothed figure coming out of the woods.

Under the moonlight, her face was charming, the tear mole in the corner of her eye added a little pitiful charm, and her right hand was wrapped in a thick white cloth, tied a knot and hung down at her side, as if she had just been injured.

The black-clothed figure approached like a wind, and when he arrived in front of the car, he couldn't suppress his excitement and suddenly fell to his knees.

She said sharply: "When is it, still sticking to these false courtesies, say quickly, do you want to find out what you want?" ”

The black-clothed figure was stunned, but he didn't expect that the first sentence of meeting two years later was a reprimand, but no matter what she said now, for him, the joy of seeing her had surpassed a qiē.

Quickly suppressing the melancholy in his heart, he said in a calm and self-contained tone: "I found it." There is a courtyard in the east courtyard that is very hidden, and it has always been said to be the residence of the chief of the courtyard. ”

"But in the past two years, I have never had the opportunity to set foot in that area."

Before she knew it, she got out of the carriage...... Standing in front of him, the attendant had already opened the curtain, and the wind blew, and it was empty.

He glanced at it quickly, and his heart was happy, and the next words were much smoother:

"Coincidentally, not long ago, a newcomer came to the East Courtyard, who looked a little like the person the master was looking for, and was sent to that forbidden land. I heard that it was the person who took care of the place. ”

She leaned against the edge of the window and opened her eyes wide, and for a moment she was speechless, and when she heard a description that was somewhat similar to his, his elegant smile flashed before her eyes, and he stood facing her under the tree. Smile, indescribable tenderness between the eyebrows.

A heart sank, she gritted her teeth and sneered: "How much is it like? Amusing! ”

"How can there be anyone in the world who can replace Brother Chaohua!"

The hand holding the window clenched tightly, and his gaze returned to him: "Do you have a chance to confirm whether the person living inside is Childe?" ”

He thought for a while and said seriously: "I can't confirm it, but my subordinates speculate that ** is not far from ten." You also know that when you look at Sealand, it's not easy to find someone like him. ”

"Although the subordinates did not see whether the person who lived in the forbidden land of the East Courtyard was the son, the subordinates still remembered the appearance of the son, and also witnessed the person who was arrested."

His tone suddenly hesitated. Look down at your toes.

"How much does it really look like?" Hearing the affirmation between his words, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice after all. "I can't say it's exactly the same, but when I first arrived with my son, there are indeed similarities, and it's unforgettable. It's just, it's just that"

"How do you spit it out?" "That one's appearance is weaker, male and female, and his body is thinner than that of his son, and he is not very old, and he may not have grown yet."

Her heart moved slightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes: "Then find a way to go in the forbidden place to confirm, if it's not Childe, you will bring that person for me, other book friends are reading:!" ”

"Remember, no matter what means are used."

He looked up at her in shock, his gaze for a moment, as if he doubted his ears. "Didn't I say it clearly enough?" She said in a disgusted tone, "No matter what, as long as it is somewhat similar to him, even if I kill him, I must not fall into her hands......"

The man in black swallowed a bitter feeling, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "My subordinates obey orders." "Be careful when you go back, don't startle the snake." "Yes." "Ninth master, ninth master." I called twice, and the person on the chuang slowly opened his eyes and looked at me.

He looked at me with a bit of complicated feelings, but I was very annoyed in my heart now, and I really didn't bother to think about it. "I told you a long time ago, it's easy to catch a cold when you go out after the rain, and you don't want to listen, but it's good now!"

I complained a few words, and my tone was even worse when I thought of the weakness of my heart in the face of the steward's daily inquiries. "I'm sorry." Still in a familiar hoarse voice, with apologies, he waved his hand and said, "You go out and tell the steward later, I haven't seen him for the past two days, and I have something to do." "You're all lying down, what else can you do?" I raised my foot and stomped on the tunnel, "Haven't you read all the account books?" “

He suddenly showed a funny look and said, "It's rare to be confused, I'm not helping you?" ”

"Ah," I patronized the things I wanted to take care of, but did not think in that direction, and he meant to cover them up for me?

I breathed a sigh of relief, simply pulled a chair and sat down next to him and said, "You know, I'm having a better time here, and there's a reason for that." ”

"Tell me your reasoning."

"Since I came, I have carefully selected the ingredients sent by the big kitchen, and I have cooked the meals for you every day, and I have heard the steward say that he is the most competent cook who has taken care of you in the past few years."

"Where can you find such talents?" I patted myself and said unashamedly, "My goal is to be fine by the time I leave, no, by the time you leave." ”

"But now it's broken." I hung my head and sighed heavily.

"The steward is pleased with you because I take care of you."

Ji Jiu turned his head sideways and looked at me in a gentle tone.

"You'll have to admit it, I've got a good meal, and besides. You don't look at it, I'm trying to live my life under the hands of the most picky people. ”

"Who has had the same experience as me, before, I cooked. Lianyun"

When I got to the point where I got lost, my tone stopped abruptly, and my mood went to the bottom. "What's wrong?" Ji Jiu sensed that something was wrong with me, and raised his body slightly on the chuang, his eyes falling on my face, "You are often like this, and you wander again from time to time. "Yes, yes," I said, "hey." Though you help me to cover up, what should I do if the steward comes in the courtyard to visit you on a whim? "You can rest assured, there has never been such a thing," a trace of coldness flashed in Ji Jiu's eyes. said in a resolute tone, "Even if she comes, I don't want to see her, she will wait." "The steward's hand can't reach this yard yet." "Really?" I looked at him suspiciously and asked. "Then there is still a fake, what are you worried about?" "No, I'm thinking, but she really can do it to you. Don't you need to think about it again? “

A subtle look appeared on Ji Jiu's face: "Stop, you are the same as me, why bother with this issue." ”

"I think it's understandable that others don't understand, if it's you"

"Alright, I didn't say it," I said, standing up. "Ninth Master, I'll go out and go to the big kitchen in the East Courtyard, and the steward said that a batch of things came from the national capital, and I'll go and collect them."

"Pick this up." He untied a chain from his wrist, "It's the first time you go to the East Courtyard, take this with you, it's easier to walk, and no one will come to embarrass you." ”

I took it from him, took it in my hand and looked at it carefully, grinning, "It's so dark." ”

In my hand is a chain of beads strung with black stone, with a delicate texture and luster, much like an obsidian bracelet I have seen before I crossed.

There is also a small jade plaque on the bead string, the handwriting is not clear, and there is a phoenix pattern on it.

"With this, can you fake the tiger?" I raised the chain in my hand, unceremoniously put it on my wrist, and deliberately rolled up my sleeves so that people could see this rare chain at a glance.

"Congratulations, you can go to the East Courtyard Fox Fake Tiger Might," Ji Jiu coughed a few times and chuckled, "Don't play too much." ”

"Don't worry, I'm a person who knows proportion, as long as others don't mess with me, I don't bother to pay attention, if you want to talk about those people, I can't look down on them."

"The nursing home knows that you are from my bamboo courtyard, who dares to mess with you, I am just worried that a few purchasing stewards in the big kitchen outside may not have seen you." "Pingsu holds a little power in his hands, and he is used to using chicken feathers as arrows, and he thinks that others should go on the pole to beg them and stammer them.

Ji Jiu said with mockery in his tone: "It's very self-righteous, so give you the bracelet, and you don't have to talk to them much." ”

"People don't recognize it, but bracelets always recognize it."

The chain is really beautiful, but I wear it a lot wider, and it is a little dangling.

"I know, that's what it means to be a good official, but a little ghost is difficult."

Actually, I really want to say to him, don't you still have this face? It's not like the masses have the final say, are they blind, and when they turn their minds, they still obey his kindness and go out with a bracelet.

"Come back early." Behind me, Ji Jiu admonished.

"I'm sure I'll go early and come back early, I'll have to look at your medicine."

Jia Lao Liu was woken up by the sound of birds chirping in the forest, surrounded by a bunch of chirping birds, he opened his eyes in a daze, and stretched out his hand in disgust to drive away.

It seems that there is a blank in his memory, when did he arrive in this forest, why can't he think about it?

He rolled over, sat up, held his head in his hands, and began to remember

After a few moments, nothing was found.

It was still early, and he had to rush to the town to have a look, so he didn't have to wait long to get up and walk to the mountain road.

Not far from his up, a hairpin that had broken in two fell among the grass.

(ps: I'm going to eat in a while, I'm worried about coming back late, send it early, you guys have a good weekend :)
