Chapter 55: Encounter Again
This call tugged at Lin Xinyin's heartstrings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She saw the girl standing in the shade of the tree in front of her hurrying towards her, and when she saw the other person's face quickly clear under the moonlight, she couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Ruoyun! ”
That's really Su Ruoyun! This surprise came too suddenly, and Lin Xinyin's heart suddenly surged. She still clearly remembered that on the night of Qujiang's parting, when she looked back helplessly on horseback, she saw a pair of eyes dyed dark blue, and a weak figure that gradually disappeared into the dark night behind her. That poignant scene was deeply imprinted in her memory, like a poison that stung her heart from time to time.
Therefore, when she and Ling Yueyuan cheered up, they would rush to Lianping eagerly, the purpose was to meet Ruoyun and Youyou as soon as possible. But he didn't expect that the group would be ambushed in the Seven Eyes Peak, and although they were able to break through smoothly, they were left alone in the end.
In the past few days, she has been running forward like a lonely and confused puppet to chase the vague hope, but she never thought that she would meet Su Ruoyun again here on the first night she came to Yuepu, especially when she saw the other party's safe and sound figure!
But is all this true? Lin Xinyin couldn't move at the moment. Perhaps it was the reality of the past few days that made her a little too pessimistic, making her already cautious and even a little nervous, so that she couldn't believe what she saw with her eyes.
She stood there in a daze, until Su Ruoyun ran closer. When Su Ruoyun happily stretched out her hands to wrap around her arm, and the warmth from the other party's palm spread to her skin through the sleeves, she finally believed that the person she saw was not a phantom. At this moment, her churning mood calmed down a little, and her tone of voice became calmer, although her face was full of relief and joy, but the words seemed to be blocked in her throat. At this time, she only called softly again: "Ruoyun ......"
"Great......" Su Ruoyun's voice trembled faintly, probably she was nervous just now to confirm whether the person standing in front of her was really Lin Xinyin. After the joy, she seemed to realize that she had pulled Lin Xinyin too tightly, and then thought of the way she ran so hurriedly just now, her face suddenly turned slightly red, so she took a step back, and at the same time changed her hands to hold Lin Xinyin's right hand.
After staring at each other for a while, Su Ruoyun's eyes slowly began to redden. She's still the girl who cries easily, even though it's time to be happy again. But she soon realized that she was losing her temper again, so she withdrew her right hand, raised it higher, straightened her fingertips to wipe away the tears hidden in the corners of her eyes, and at the same time tried to curl the corners of her mouth, and said softly in a trembling voice as if she was smiling: "It's great to see that you're okay, Sister Yin......"
This familiar voice was like a trickle of warm water quietly injected into Lin Xinyin's heart. Since she was separated from Ling Yueyuan, she had become a little nervous, and her mind was full of thinking about how to find Ling Yueyuan, so much so that she forgot the original intention of rushing to Lian Ping in the first place. Now that he meets Su Ruoyun here, the first thing the other party expresses is his concern for himself. This really made her heart feel warm, but also a little guilty.
The girl in front of her is indeed the gentle and lovely Su Ruoyun. At this time, the last trace of doubt in Lin Xinyin's heart also melted into bursts of warmth. Su Ruoyun, who was half a head shorter than her in front of her, was holding her right hand with one hand and quietly wiping the corners of her eyes with the other, her reddened eyes blinked towards her from time to time, and the corners of her upturned mouth continued to send a pleasant smile, like a wronged rabbit, that cute and pitiful appearance was really pitiful, so that Lin Xinyin almost had an urge to take Su Ruoyun into her arms and comfort her.
But in the end, Lin Xinyin only raised her left hand and gently patted Su Ruoyun's shoulder, and apologized guiltily: "I'm sorry, Ruoyun." Originally, we said that we would meet in Lianping Town, but we were late, and the result was ......"
"No, no. It would be better if Sister Yin was really late, so that she wouldn't fall into the trap like us. Su Ruoyun shook her head vigorously, her face became a little pale: "Sister Youyou and I were ambushed as soon as we arrived in Lianping Town, but fortunately, Sister Youyou was here, so we could fight to break out of the encirclement." But it was because of me that she was seriously injured. By the time we fled to the vicinity of a mountainous area, we had exhausted all our strength and even passed out. But when I woke up, I found that it seemed to be a safe place here......"
"Is Yoyo here now? By the way, Ruoyun, why are you here? This is where Lin Xinyin initially felt strange and suspicious, she didn't seem to have heard Su Ruoyun mention it and what it had to do with Yuepu's Xu Mansion, and since Ruoyun and Youyou were both unconscious at the time, then someone must have rescued them, but who is this?
However, no matter who helps, it is a great thing to be able to see Su Ruoyun safe and sound now. Lin Xinyin's emotions began to get excited again at this moment, could it be that this is the so-called God opening his eyes? So, will she be able to witness a second miracle in the near future and find the long-lost Ling Yue Yuan?!
"Well, Sister Yoyo is here too. However, she was severely poisoned and was not in good condition. Although the good Samaritans here gave some potions, they were not the antidote to the special effect after all. Although I also helped to detoxify, the poison was very strange and difficult to solve, and I could only curb the poison while slowly dissipating it, so I spent many days here. However, it is precisely because of this that I was able to miraculously meet Sister Yin here! When Su Ruoyun said this, she was both sad and gratified, and then she was confused: "But why are we here...... I still don't know. As soon as I woke up, I was in a room here. ”
Then, Su Ruoyun told Lin Xinyin about her experience since the separation. The thrilling night at the west gate of Qujiang City was mentioned now, which also made Su Ruoyun's body tremble slightly. After she and Ye Youyou escaped, they hurried to Lianping Town, but both of them had little physical strength left, and even when they buried the body of Gu Qiongya halfway, they didn't realize that they had fallen under the surveillance of the secret sentinel of the Drifting Cloud Residence.
After that, although they were able to break out of the ambush smoothly, the horses that the two of them rode were also lost, and when Ye Youyougu, who was seriously injured, did his best to use his last internal strength to perform light skills with Su Ruoyun to evade the pursuit and run to the field near Qimu Peak, but after finding a relatively hidden hiding place, the two of them fell into a coma due to physical exhaustion.
Later, it got dark, and Su Ruoyun couldn't remember that the place where he was hiding at that time was Qimu Mountain. She just remembered that the grass was halfway up to a waist and that it was deserted. But it was also because of this unique geographical environment, coupled with the fact that Ye Youyou did his best to throw the pursuers away from a considerable distance, that the also injured Bu Qianjian misjudged that they had completely escaped from the encirclement.
After Bu Qianjian just sent people to search hastily in the dark night without success, he turned to rest and set up an ambush on the mountainside of Qimu Ridge for a while, and was thinking about searching again after dawn tomorrow, and then returned to report to the right protector, but unexpectedly met Lin Xinyin and his party who threw themselves into the net. And the subsequent results of the battle paralyzed Bu Qiandao's vigilance, and he was also in a hurry to go back to recuperate, so he left only a few subordinates to clean and search the battlefield, and he and Qiuyang left Qimu Peak with the team, but he didn't expect that the final result of his great effort was to let all the targets escape from life.
But Su Ruoyun didn't know what happened after she fell unconscious. Her memories only left some impressions of tossing and turning in a daze, and there seemed to be some "squeak" sounds coming from the wheels pressing against the road, as if she was in some kind of moving car. But when she woke up, she found that she and Ye Youyou were lying on the bed in the same room. At first, she thought that she had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but when she looked closely, she found that the room she was in was quite exquisitely decorated, and she and Ye Youyou showed no signs of being imprisoned, which really puzzled her.
And during the few days here, there were also people who came regularly to deliver medicine and food. Ye Youyou was also very vigilant on the first day he woke up, but later he found that there was no one to watch or monitor them here, and the people who received them were all ordinary servants, and the things they sent were not poisoned or used in any other way. After deciding that this was indeed a safe place, Ye Youyou honestly and unceremoniously regarded this place as a resort for healing and recuperation, and enjoyed this rare time leisurely.
Su Ruoyun was always nervous. She has rarely traveled far away, and she always has an inexplicable fear of the unfamiliar environment, especially after experiencing so many changes, this fear is even stronger. In addition, taking care of Ye Youyou's injuries also consumed a lot of her energy, so that she rarely stepped out of the door. And the servants here also came in a hurry, hurried away. What impressed her the most was just a girl who talked a little more and would ask questions, but out of precaution, her communication with the other party was only a few words. Later, even this kind of communication became rare. She only learned that this was the Xu Mansion of Yuepu, but why she and Ye Youyou were sent here, she didn't know the reason at all. And she had never seen the owner of the Xu Mansion in the past few days, which made her even more suspicious.
Until tonight, when Ye Youyou's injuries were generally improved, under Ye Youyou's persuasion, Su Ruoyun, who had been stuffed in the room for several days, thought of taking advantage of the quiet moment of the night to go out and breathe. This walk came to the garden of the side courtyard, and the intoxicating night slightly soothed her worried mind, but the most unexpected thing was that she would meet Lin Xinyin here!
Speaking of this, Su Ruoyun's heart was excited again. Although that time of hardship and hardship was short, it was her most indelible memory, and it also made her and Lin Xinyin unconsciously establish an inseparable relationship. Now the surprise of the unexpected encounter in Yuepu Xu Mansion has consumed her haze and anxiety for several days, and quickly filled her dazed heart. She was smiling, but tears were oozing from the corners of her eyes.
"Alright, alright. It's okay......" Lin Xinyin looked at Su Ruoyun holding her hand and crying and laughing, her mood was suddenly infected by her, and even her eyes became wet. Except for Ling Yueyuan, among all the people she has met in this world so far, Su Ruoyun is the only one who makes her feel that she can be honest with each other. Although the two have not been together for a long time, as long as they look at Su Ruoyun's clear eyes, she will always have a sense of peace of mind like a spring breeze. In front of this girl as pure as ice and snow, she will not be the slightest wary and defenseless.
After being moved, Lin Xinyin carefully recalled the experience Su Ruoyun had told, and when she heard Su Ruoyun mention that there was a girl who talked a lot here, she suddenly thought of Cuiying. Thinking about what Cui Ying had told herself, she was suddenly happy again. That Cuiying even misunderstood Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun, the two mysterious visitors! Maybe it's because of the miscommunication between the two sides because of their own scruples, which led to this joke, right?
So, Lin Xinyin told Su Ruoyun what she heard from Cuiying. Connecting Su Ruoyun's memories with her own experience that night, she was shocked to realize that when she and Ling Yueyuan, Ouyang Xiaoyi and others arrived in Lianping Town, it was not yet dark, and Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun on the same day also seemed to be hiding near Qimu Mountain.
Then she vaguely guessed a somewhat unbelievable possibility. On the night when his group rushed to Qimu Mountain, they also encountered Lan Cui'er's carriage on the way. The carriage was one step ahead later, but he and Ouyang Xiaoyi and the others had to stop and bury Brother Long's body on the spot because of Ah Cai's persistence, which took a lot of time. Could it be such a coincidence, but it was this time difference that allowed Lan Cui'er's carriage to pick up Su Ruoyun who was in a coma? But why send them here again?
"I see...... Sister Youyou and I were really sent here by a carriage......" This is a bit consistent with Su Ruoyun's memory, which not only made her understand some reasons, but also fell into new confusion: "However, I don't know that Lan Cui'er, and I don't know the Xu Mansion of the Yuepu Chaoshan Merchant Gang, why that person rescued us, and why he sent us here, I really don't know at all." ”
Lin Xinyin is even more unclear. She was just guessing, and she couldn't rule out the possibility that other carriages would pick up Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun.
The more Su Ruoyun thought about it, the more confused she became, only feeling that there was a lot of fog and didn't know what to do. After a while, she remembered another thing, so she asked Lin Xinyin: "By the way, why did Sister Nayin come here?" Well, that'...... Brother Yuan, is it safe...... too? In her impression, it seemed that Ling Yueyuan was always with Lin Xinyin, but now she looked around here, but found that Lin Xinyin was indeed the only one.
The smile on Lin Xinyin's face suddenly added a hint of bitterness. The reason why she came to visit the Xu Mansion was to ask for help to find Ling Yueyuan in Yuepu. After sighing, she briefly explained the reason to Su Ruoyun.
In less than half an hour, Su Ruoyun silently listened to Lin Xinyin narrate the ins and outs of the incident in a calm tone, and quietly lowered her head as she listened. After Lin Xinyin finished speaking, Su Ruoyun raised her head, her eyes were red, and her voice became a little choked: "I'm sorry, Sister Yin, it's all because I have burdened you that you have come to this point......"
"Fool, what does this have to do with you, don't think about it." Lin Xinyin felt a little strange: this Su Ruoyun always seemed to think that she was a burden, as if other people's misfortunes were caused by her. But what does it have to do with her!
So, Lin Xinyin said confidently: "Moreover, I already know that Ling Yueyuan is still alive, and this is enough." As long as you live, there is hope for reunion. I'll definitely find him someday. This sentence is not only to cheer her up, but also to persuade Su Ruoyun to abandon those pessimistic thoughts.
"Well, there will be a reunion!" Su Ruoyun wiped away her tears and showed a bright smile: "Sister Yin, why don't you go and see Sister Youyou together, if she sees you, she will definitely be surprised!" Besides, there's still a lot to say, so let's go back to our room first, it's a bit cold at night. ”
"Alright, alright, let's go." Lin Xinyin thought of Ye Youyou, who was called a "demon girl" by Ling Yueyuan, who acted strangely but had strong martial arts, and having her with her also resolved many risks. I wonder how she's doing now?
Su Ruoyun smiled and said "um", then let go of Lin Xinyin's hand, which had been holding him, and walked forward in a few steps to lead the way.
Lin Xinyin's mood is also much better now. She smiled and looked at Su Ruoyun, who had become much more cheerful, and remembered that Su Ruoyun in her impression should be a girl with quite demure behavior, but now she walks with a rare liveliness. Maybe this girl's heart is also happy at this moment!
At this moment, although the night breeze on her cheeks brought a burst of coldness, Lin Xinyin felt a warm feeling in her heart. She saw Su Ruoyun's long hair draped behind her in front of her gently fluttering in the wind, looking at the gentle moonlight as if it was also shining in the satin-like black hair, especially in the clusters of black silk, there seemed to be a beam of silver light looming, and it looked like there was a dazzling string hidden in it......
"Huh......?" Lin Xinyin was stunned for a while, rubbed her eyes, and took another look, but shouted in surprise: "Ruoyun? Do you have gray hair? ”
"Gray hair?" Su Ruoyun stopped and was silent for a while. She lowered her head slightly, but did not look back, but her voice became very soft: "I can't see...... Sister Yin, can you help me pull it out? ”
"Uh, okay......" Lin Xinyin hesitated for a moment and agreed. She took a few steps forward, and after taking a closer look, she jumped out of the white hair hidden in Su Ruoyun's black hair with the thumb and index finger of her right hand, and said before she started: "It may be a little painful, bear with it." ”
"Hmm." Su Ruoyun still didn't look back, stood up, and answered.
"Hey!" Lin Xinyin pulled out the hair quickly with two fingers, pulling out the strands of hair. Even though she was fast enough, she still heard Su Ruoyun scream softly in pain, "Oops......"
"Are you alright?" Lin Xinyin looked at the extra soft hair in her hand: this long hair with a silver glow like moonlight looks very beautiful, to be precise, it should be silver hair. Why did Su Ruoyun have silver hair at a young age? Lin Xinyin thought for a while and was still puzzled, so she handed the silver hair towards Su Ruoyun: "Well, Ruoyun, look at ......"
"Hmm......" Su Ruoyun only turned around at this time. She frowned slightly, touched the still faint pain on the top of her head with one hand, took the silver hair with the other, looked at it quietly for a moment, then let go of her fingers, and let the silver strand of hair fall lightly on the cobblestone path.
"Let's go, Sister Yin, ignore this." Su Ruoyun smiled at Lin Xinyin, then turned around and led the way in front of her. It's just that at this time, her figure has returned to its previous demure appearance.
"Hmm." Lin Xinyin looked at Su Ruoyun's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, if it was not the time to talk, then she would not insist on asking to the end.
……
====================
Su Ruoyun led Lin Xinyin through another entrance and exit of the garden in the side courtyard, and soon came to a house that was half-hidden under the verdant trees. Along the way, she said apologetically: "Speaking of which, thanks to the kindness of the helper, Sister Youyou and I were able to recuperate here...... But I didn't thank him for a few days, but tonight I cheekily walked into the private garden. Fortunately, it was Sister Yin who met her, and if she met someone from the Xu family, it would be embarrassing. ”
"Heh, I heard that Gang Master Xu is a passionate and righteous person, so he shouldn't care about this little thing." Lin Xinyin thought of Liu Qianli's evaluation of Xu Zhuoshu, although he had not yet had direct contact with him, but thinking of his willingness to take in Su Ruoyun and Ye Youyou, who had never met before, he must also be a broad-minded and benevolent person.
Then, Lin Xinyin looked at the house in front of her a little. This small villa-like single room is actually just a few steps away from the garden in the courtyard, surrounded by lush trees and flowers, and the location is quite secluded. She also saw a white stone path winding in front of the house that connected to another, wider path. She couldn't see exactly where the road led because of the flowers and trees in front of her, but if she followed the road in one direction, she might be able to return to the wing where she was staying.
At this moment, Su Ruoyun had already pushed open the door, and while crossing the threshold, he shouted happily inside: "Sister Youyou, look who is coming!" ”
Lin Xinyin, who followed into the room, saw a girl on the innermost bed straightening her waist and looking at herself in surprise in the slightly dim candlelight in the room. Isn't that Ye Youyou? I haven't seen him for many days, Ye Youyou's face seems to be a little haggard, and he looks like he has just recovered from a serious illness.
"Youyou......" Lin Xinyin saw Ye Youyou bend one leg and press her hands on the bed board, as if she was trying to support her body so as not to collapse, it looked like she had suddenly woken up from her sleep.
It's really hard to imagine the scene of this eccentric demon girl in the impression of lying on the bed recuperating like a weak woman at this moment, it seems that she is really injured. Lin Xinyin remembered that when the four of them were still in Qujiang, Ye Youyou had also proposed to leave first together, not to stay in Tianxingmen for a long time. It's just that, out of moral considerations, although everyone stayed, the final result of that night was not only that they didn't save others, but they almost didn't save themselves.
However, since you make a choice, you have to bear the unpredictable consequences of the choice. Lin Xinyin, who was sympathetic and emotional, was thinking about saying something more to Ye Youyou, but suddenly saw her stretching out her arms towards her, and was stunned: "What ......?" ”
"Come over here, Xiaoyin. Let me pinch it...... See if I'm dreaming? Ye Youyou's slightly pale face showed a long-lost wicked smile.
“…… Can't you just pinch yourself? Lin Xinyin immediately stopped, raised her eyebrows, raised her right hand subconsciously, and most of the sympathy in her heart disappeared in an instant.
"Why are you so ruthless...... Haven't we seen each other in years? Ye Youyou put away his smile and pretended to be pitiful and said seriously.
“…… It's been less than half a month, okay. Lin Xinyin suddenly realized that her feelings just now were all superfluous. No matter how pitiful the woman sitting on the bed in front of her looks, as long as she speaks, she is still the out-and-out Ye Youyou.
"Okay, okay, don't laugh. Xiaoyin, how did you get here? Come and tell me a story. Ye Youyou said that, he folded the soft pillows on the bed and piled them up at the head of the bed near the wall, and at the same time moved his body slightly, and half lay comfortably on the cushion behind him. Her astonishment seemed to be only for a moment, as if she was used to seeing life and death, and her expression was very calm.
So, after closing the door, Lin Xinyin and Su Ruoyun moved chairs to Ye Youyou's bedside, and after sitting down, they exchanged experiences with each other since they were separated.
I don't know how much time has passed since this conversation.
"I didn't expect Xiaoxin and them to come too......" When Su Ruoyun heard Lin Xinyin tell about the distress in Qimu Ridge, she was immediately extremely worried. But according to Lin Xinyin's speculation, Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin should have gone to Fuzhou first, followed by Xiaoling and Yueyuan. When she heard that everyone should be safe and sound, Su Ruoyun smiled lightly as if she had lifted a heavy burden. Perhaps, she can no longer bear the pain of the unfortunate loss of someone she knows well.
"In that case, we should also rush to Fuzhou as soon as possible." Ye Youyou saw Lin Xinyin's gloomy appearance, so he smiled and comforted: "Peace of mind, Xiaoyin." Xiao Yuan's cockroach life will not be so easy to lose, since he may also be in a corner of Yuepu, then ask that good man Xu to help him dig him out. ”
"He's not a cockroach......" Lin Xinyin couldn't help but refute. Although she didn't have much to think about now, she still asked with concern, "It's you...... Are you okay now? ”
"How can it be okay? Almost died! Ye Youyou Nunu said: "That step thousand blades are very cunning...... If I hadn't ventured forward and stabbed him, I would have entangled him to death sooner or later. But I also fell for the strange poison he applied to his secret weapon. This poison is so powerful that it is extremely difficult to eradicate it, and it is running through the meridians in my body, and ordinary medicines cannot contain it...... If it weren't for Ruoyun's best efforts, and the fact that I was fortunate to have this safe place to stay for a few days to recuperate, I would have died of poison. ”
"So, is the poison all cleared now?" Lin Xinyin knew that Su Ruoyun had the ability to heal wounds, but ...... That ability seemed to be a disproportionate drain on her stamina.
"There's one more point here." Ye Youyou patted his thigh and said, "I'm so tired that I can only lie on the bed for a few days, and I'm suffocated to death." Speaking of this, Ye Youyou glanced at Su Ruoyun, who was quiet beside him, and thanked him with a smile: "It's been really hard for Ruoyun these past few days...... However, the remaining bit of poison is enough for me to urge Gu Nei to force it out, but it will take a few days. By the way, Ruoyun, when you went out for a stroll just now, did you observe the surrounding environment well? ”
"I ...... I didn't go far away, and it didn't take long to meet Sister Yin, so naturally I didn't observe much. Su Ruoyun's face turned slightly red, and it looked like she was actually reluctant to go out for a walk, but she was pushed out of the door by Ye Youyou.
"Oops...... Although this place is not really suitable for a long stay, there is no way to stay here for a few more days, and it is necessary to know where you are in detail. Xiaoyin, don't you say? Ye Youyou turned to look at Lin Xinyin, and then sighed again and said: "Moreover, this time it is really a heavy loss, not to mention that Hei Feng and Xiao Brown have lost everything, and even the money and belongings they have with them have been lost, and they have become beggars overnight!" ”
And? Lin Xinyin didn't know what the connection between Ye Youyou's two sentences was, she was about to seriously comfort Ye Youyou that money is just something outside the body and life is precious, but Ye Youyou's next sentence made her speechless.
"It's a pity that I can't do my best now, otherwise I can take a good look at the entire Xu Mansion. I heard that Xu Fu is a wealthy merchant with a great reputation in Yuepu, so there must be a lot of valuable things......"
“…… What are you thinking? Stealing or robbing? Lin Xinyin only now remembered that Ye Youyou was a professional thief, maybe she had already collected a lot of information about the Xu Mansion. But now she is so injured that she can't move, and she is still thinking about how to commit the crime! Should I say that she is dedicated, or that she can't change her dog to eat?
"What! It's so ugly! It's just borrowing! Ye Youyou seriously corrected Lin Xinyin's statement: "Sister, I can't go on the road penniless!" We don't have the spare time to beg, and I'm so thin-skinned that I'm too embarrassed to borrow it, so I have to borrow it myself...... It's a big deal, just leave an IOU at that time. ”
…… You are the thickest skinned person in the world. If you really leave an IOU, I'm afraid that the payment on it will also be in my name! Lin Xinyin looked at Ye Youyou dumbfounded, and all her sympathy had vanished: this is simply a brazen female thief!
"People are kind enough to take you in, and you repay them like this......?" Lin Xinyin couldn't cry or laugh.
"Since you are kind, then you must be kind to the end and send the Buddha to the west...... Ye Youyou said unashamedly: "I will have a grateful heart, and I will repay in the next life, and there are too many people to repay in this life." ”
"......" Lin Xinyin heard Ye Youyou's meaning. In fact, there should be too many people who have been stolen, robbed and deceived by her! This woman is afraid that if she enters the Temple of the God of Wealth, not only will she pack up all the tributes and take them away, but if the statue of the God of Wealth is gilded, she will take it away and sell it entirely.
Lin Xinyin suddenly remembered the days when she and Ling Yueyuan were abused by Ye Youyou, and when she was shuddering, she suddenly heard a slight knock on the door.
"Who?" Lin Xinyin suddenly became nervous, subconsciously stood up, and looked towards the door.
Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun, who were on the side, also immediately stopped talking, and looked at Lin Xinyin's gaze in unison.
"Xinyin, it's me." It was the voice of Liu Qianli.
"Oh, wait a minute!" Lin Xinyin, who relaxed her nerves a little, shouted towards the door from afar. Only then did she remember that Liu Qianli had said that he was going to come to her. However, she only stayed in her room for less than a moment before slipping out, so Liu Qianli could still find here?
Lin Xinyin, who was a little surprised, turned to Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun before leaving, and said, "Then, I'll go out first......" Before the aftermath fell, she saw Ye Youyou with an ambiguous face.
"It's been less than half an hour since we reunited, and you're leaving us?"
"Just going out for a while...... I'll be back later. Lin Xinyin heard Ye Youyou say that she seemed to be gone forever, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and after sighing, she turned around and walked in the direction of the door.
During the steps, Ye Youyou's voice came from behind him:
"Go early and come back early...... Hey! ”
……
Lin Xinyin pushed open half of the door, leaned sideways and came out of the crack in the door, and then carefully closed the door. However, she found that her movements seemed to be a bit redundant, because Liu Qianli didn't seem to have the slightest intention of peeping into the house.
"How did Chisato find it here?" Lin Xinyin was very curious: although this house was not so hidden that it was impossible to find it, how did he know that she was also in this room?
"Oh, when I came to Liyuan, I saw Cuiying tidying up your room, but she didn't know where you went. I walked along the path outside the house, but there didn't seem to be many residents...... Finally, I saw another room with the lights on, and when I got closer, I heard your voice, so I went up and knocked on the door. Liu Qianli then asked rhetorically: "Xinyin knows the people in this house?" It's an incredible coincidence......"
"Well, they're all friends of mine, I didn't expect to meet here." As soon as Lin Xinyin heard Liu Qianli say that he had met Cuiying, she immediately guessed that the mouthy girl might have also hinted to him that there were two mysterious female guests living here, so it was not surprising that Liu Qianli would find this side along the road. But she remembered that her voice was not too loud, so she would be heard by Liu Qianli? He's so good at hearing, too!
However, Lin Xinyin is more concerned about another thing now. Seeing that Liu Qianli was already here, she hurriedly asked, "Yes, Qianli, is the Gang Master coming back?" ”
"Nope." Liu Qianli's answer made Lin Xinyin a little disappointed, but he had another proposal: "I have been with Ah Hai until the messenger came back and said that Zhuo Shu could not come back due to affairs, and if it was late today, if we were to go to Xiyuan now, I was afraid that we would be too tired to travel overnight, so after weighing it, he still suggested that we rest in the house for the night, and then leave for Xiyuan to meet the next morning." ”
"Actually, it's good to have a good night's rest here, anyway, it's not that much time." Liu Qianli continued: "And I remember that Xiyuan is at the foot of a mountain somewhere in the suburbs, and the night mountain road is bumpy and difficult to walk, so it is better to walk again tomorrow." What does Xinyin think? ”
"Hmm...... Good. Lin Xinyin didn't actually think that it would be too tiring to walk the mountain road at night, but no matter how anxious she was now, she had to wait for another night. After all, when the night was dark now, even if she couldn't bear it and went out on her own to find Ling Yueyuan in the huge Yuepu City, I was afraid that it would be in vain. Moreover, since he wants to ask Xu Zhuoshu to help find someone, he should also visit with Liu Qianli tomorrow.
"Well, I won't bother you to catch up." Liu Qianli smiled, but no longer persuaded Lin Xinyin to rest earlier, but said before turning around and leaving: "Or, Xinyin can also take your friends to Xiyuan tomorrow, just take a break." ”
But will they go? Lin Xinyin had to go, and she didn't have any thoughts of distraction now. After answering the call, after watching Liu Qianli gradually leave along the same path, she pushed the door open again and entered the house.
When Lin Xinyin approached again, she saw Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun both looking at her silently. She moved her lips, and was about to explain something, when she heard Ye Youyou speak first.
"That person outside is the Liu Qianli you just mentioned?" Ye Youyou smiled very interestingly.
"Hmm. He ......" Lin Xinyin was about to say the reason why she walked with him all the way, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Ye Youyou.
"Is this person quite polite, he doesn't break into the door without permission, and his voice is soft......" Ye Youyou sighed, then changed his words and said with a smile: "It seems a little abnormal!" Is he a man? ”
"The performance he just performed is what a normal person should do......" Lin Xinyin immediately remembered that Ye Youyou had a bad habit of kicking the door and entering, did she think that people with the same virtue as her were normal?
"Yo! He even defended outsiders! Xiaoyin, isn't our friendship as good as that Liu Qianli, who has only known each other for less than a month? Ye Youyou said with a bitter face: "Sister, I'm so sad...... Or are you already hooked up? ”
"What a hookup! That's because he happened to save me in Wuhua Town, and he happened to go to Xinyang Town...... And the Gang Master Xu here happens to be his friend, so he came here with him! Didn't I just say it all! Lin Xinyin was depressed, and it seemed that she and Ye Youyou had known each other for less than a month!
"Oh, it's just a joke, don't get excited." Ye Youyou seemed to have a great prejudice against men, and said in the next sentence: "But, unlike the little edge who will write everything on his face, in fact, this kind of talent who doesn't seem to be the most dangerous, Xiaoyin, you have to be careful." ”
"Isn't it...... I think he's pretty good. Lin Xinyin felt that it was very unfair for Ye Youyou to draw conclusions based on just a vague impression. Moreover, along the way, Liu Qianli has also helped her a lot, and she is not a bad person anyway, right?
"So, Xiaoyin." Ye Youyou restrained his smile, looked at Lin Xinyin seriously and said, "Do you think I look like a good person?" ”
Good? Lin Xinyin looked at Ye Youyou, who was stealing, kidnapping, and doing whatever she wanted, and only felt that she was a villain dressed as a beautiful woman. As for her relationship with the word "good guy"? Well, that sounds like a ridiculous way to describe shit as a treat.
It's not all prejudice. In fact, Lin Xinyin thought of other things that were a little incomprehensible. I think that when I first met Ye Youyou, after a conflict, she and Ling Yueyuan were forced by Ye Youyou to walk all the way, but why did she do this? She seems to be a stalker who prefers to go it alone.
Then, Lin Xinyin remembered what Ouyang Xiaoxin had mentioned, the female thieves who were rampant in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, and the black jade stolen from Hanshan Temple...... Is this related to Ye Youyou? After thinking about it a lot, she faintly guessed that Ye Youyou seemed to be hiding many unknown secrets, and this strong sense of mystery made her feel that Ye Youyou was not a person who could be simply distinguished by "good guys" or "bad guys".
It's just that Ye Youyou, who believes in self-interest, has also risked his life in Qujiang to protect himself, Ling Yueyuan and Su Ruoyun, which seems to contradict her personality very much. Therefore, thinking about the question raised by Ye Youyou carefully, Lin Xinyin found it even more difficult to answer. She didn't shake her head vigorously without thinking like Ling Yueyuan, but after hesitating and hesitating, she just stood stunned on the spot.
However, her performance can be regarded as giving an answer. Seeing this, Ye Youyou shouted: "Okay, okay, don't say it!" Hmph, sister, I'm so sad, forget about sleeping......"
"Ah, yes." Lin Xinyin remembered Liu Qianli's proposal, so she asked, "Tomorrow morning, I will go with Qianli to Xiyuan to visit Gang Master Xu and ask him to help find Ling Yueyuan...... Would you like to go along? ”
Ye Youyou looked at Su Ruoyun beside him, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head: "I haven't fully recovered yet, so it's better to stay here with Ruoyun." The people of Drifting Cloud House are not good people, if we go out casually, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. ”
"And...... It's a place to eat, live and be comfortable, and it's a healing resort. Even if it's all right, I don't want to go to the Xiyuan that is far away in the ravine. Ye Youyou seemed to know a lot about the Xiyuan of the Xu Mansion, she paused for a while, then looked at Lin Xinyin and smiled: "But...... Xiaoyin, maybe you should go to Xiyuan to have a look. ”
"Huh? Why? Lin Xinyin didn't understand. Why should I check it out?
"I heard that Naxi Garden has another nickname, called Xingyuan. There is a vast apricot grove in there, and if it is autumn, the ground is full of yellow leaves, which is quite beautiful. Ye Youyou looked like she had an endless aftertaste, as if she had been there before.
"But it's early summer." Lin Xinyin thought to herself, what's so nice about this......
"Moreover, that apricot grove is also very old, and century-old trees abound." Ye Youyou continued: "And among them, there is a thousand-year-old ginkgo. ”
"Millennial ginkgo?" Hearing this keyword, Lin Xinyin suddenly felt a slight tremor in her heart. What does it feel like?
"Yes." Ye Youyou looked at Lin Xinyin firmly, and his tone became much calmer, just like the torrential rain that suddenly turned into a drizzle: "Millennial ginkgo." ”
