"Is Mrs. Xiao here?" ……

...... "Is Mrs. Xiao here?" ”

For three days, every day when the sun was about to set, this person would come to the door and ask questions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It's been so many years, and I can't think of any other reason why people would come to me besides the storms in the outside world. And I don't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs, through the window, I can faintly see the dress of the person who came, it was a servant girl dressed as a slave man, even though she was dressed like an ordinary man, but from a distance, I could smell a faint smell of incense powder on her.

The coarse linen clothes on her body did not match her skin, and it could even be concluded that the people she served were either rich or noble. And why it is certain that she is a maidservant, it can be roughly judged from her pair of feet, the female dependents of rich and noble families have been pampered since childhood, and there will be no such a pair of big feet, and usually women with such a pair of big feet are most likely sent to the young lady of the family when they were young, taking care of the young lady's daily life, often have to follow the young lady's carriage and horse for a long distance, and over time, the feet will become like this.

Her flesh is very delicate, fair, and smooth. Such a delicate person is probably only used by the lady of the family.

My brother told her that Mrs. Xiao had not returned, and I watched her leave disappointed. My brother closed the door and returned to the room after a while, I was looking out the window, and he said angrily, "You watch people come and go every day, don't you feel distressed at all." ”

"Are you distressed?" I asked, tilting my head.

He was so speechless that I asked him, so he could only turn around and say to Xiao Jue, "Your wife's mouth is getting better and better." ”

"Passing the prize." Xiao Jue was studying the herbs on his table, and when he heard his brother say this, he straightened up and replied with a smile, "It's also your good sister." ”

I gave them both a blank look and went on learning my hieroglyphs.

It's been so many years, and there's not enough bickering.

……

"Is Mrs. Xiao here?"

Today's heavy rain, from the outside to get here to cross two mountains, this rain has been falling since last night, and the mountain road should be very muddy. I thought she wouldn't come today, but surprisingly, at this time, she happened to knock on the door on time.

My brother went out before the rain last night to go shopping and visit his friends.

So it was the door that Fusheng opened. "Who are you?"

"Excuse me, is Mrs. Xiao here?" She was drenched and shivering in the cold wind, and her face didn't look very good.

Fu Sheng asked again, "Do you have anything to do with Madame?" ”

"Please, let me meet Madame, I have something very important and want to ask Madame for help." It was the second sentence I heard her say for the first time in so many days.

And her pitiful appearance made Fu Sheng naturally reluctant to reject her.

"Wait a minute, I'll go see if Madame is back." Fu Sheng said.

Then he asked the girl who was disguised as a man to wait at the door, and then came over. The girl kept looking in the direction he was coming, staring at it with a snug eye and a tight mouth.

"My lord," Fu Sheng entered the door and saw Xiao Jue first, before turning to me and said, "Madam, this person has been here many times, do you want to see him?" ”

"Nope." I refused without looking up.

Yu Guang could notice that Fu Sheng secretly looked at Xiao Jue, as if he deliberately wanted to ask Xiao Jue to help persuade him.

Xiao Jue already felt it, he said with a smile. "You don't have to beg me, after so many years, don't you know Madame's temperament? If she says no, it's useless for anyone to persuade her. ”

"Yes, then I'll go back to her." Fu Sheng no longer persuaded him, and he was going out.

"Wait a minute." I suddenly stopped him, and when he turned around hopefully, I really couldn't bear to spoil him, but in order to avoid trouble, I just said, "It's raining heavily today, and looking at the sky, I'm afraid it won't stop until tomorrow morning." Put her in the guest room and wait for the rain to stop before sending her away. ”

Fu Sheng hesitated, and was really disappointed. "Yes."

"If you don't want to help her, why bother to keep her for the night." Xiao Jue waited for Fu Sheng to leave before speaking.

I knew that he must have smelled the incense powder as well, and naturally he was aware of the person's identity. "A maid of a young lady from a family came in person to explain that this matter was unknown to the others in their court. If this is the case, helping her is tantamount to opposing her family at the same time, and it is a thankless errand. But it's getting late, and if this person has an accident on the way back, I can't bear it. ”

Xiao Jue chuckled lightly and didn't say anything more.

"It's just spring, why is it still so cold?" I sighed bitterly, and then went to the stove and added some dry branches to make the fire burn brighter.

……

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by thunder.

I felt that it was getting cold in the room again, so I wanted to get up and add some dry branches. As soon as he moved, Xiao Jue was fine, "What's wrong." ”

"It's okay, I can't sleep, my chest is a little stuffy, get up and take a walk." I sat up, just got out of bed, Xiao Jue also sat up, over the years, his legs have been much better, most of the time he can walk around with crutches.

I walked past the window to get to the stove, but at this moment, somehow looked out the window.

The lights were still on in the room where the girl was staying overnight. I looked over and she was still standing in front of the window, staring thoughtfully at us.

It seems that it is the master's order not to be tight.

When the day dawned, when my brother returned, the girl had not yet left. When he first saw her, Brother instinctively looked at our room, and then he asked Fu Sheng and Zhuya to clean up the things he had procured.

"In two days, the watchman should be back." As soon as my brother entered the door, he only talked about the watch, "He has been walking for too long this time." ”

"The village is far away from here, and it will take a lot of time to go and return, not to mention the fact that you have to be busy preparing for the sacrifice in the village." Xiao Jue continued.

Since we landed here, the watch has also come.

Now the two sisters of the watchman passed away many years ago, and the descendants of the sisters have also gone through several generations, but the watchman has to go back every year to participate in the sacrificial activities in the village at the beginning of spring.

Now they are talking about watching back to the sacrifice. Counting the time, the watchman should probably be back in the next few days. From the time we settled by the stream deep in the mountains, there were only two thatched houses, and now there is such a courtyard and water pavilion, seven or eight rooms, all of which have been built slowly, and I don't remember how many years have passed.

As I had hoped, I have been living in seclusion here, and I don't know where the girl who came to the door got the news.

But my brother just glanced at her and understood why I had left her for the night. So, they didn't ask me anything.

"If you really care that much, you might as well ask her what kind of thing it is first, and then make a decision." Xiao Jue passed by me and said intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'll help you." In the courtyard, the girl saw that everyone was busy, and she stood to the side looking very restrained, constantly trying to rub her hands on her clothes, as if she wanted to help do something.

Because of her words, my brother and I both looked out of the window.

"Liu Guan and Zhang San invited Zhuge Liang, it wasn't so difficult to invite you." My brother laughed.

I glared at him and said to Xiao Jue, "You talk to my brother for a while, and I'll go see this girl." ”

Xiao Jue seemed to have guessed that I would do this early on, and when he heard my words, he couldn't help but smile and hooked the corners of his mouth. The two of them have a very tacit understanding, and they all look like "I already knew that you couldn't sink".

It had rained heavily for nearly a day and two nights, and there was water in the courtyard, and the girl could not help it, so she could only stand there in a daze.

"You're looking for me?" I walked up behind her, and she didn't notice it yet.

Suddenly hearing my voice startled the girl, and turned her head suddenly, but from her eyes, what she saw was defensive and unfamiliar, she looked at me very carefully, and her tone was also curious, "You...... Are you Madame Shaw? ”

"Come with me." I don't think she's very old, thirteen or fourteen.

Now, the ancient period has long ended, and Xia Houqi opened the first dynasty in Chinese history, the Xia Dynasty, with the hereditary system of son succeeding father. There will probably never be a person in the world who is as complex as Yi Ting, whose complex age is difficult to calculate on the surface. However, for some reason, we have been living in the chaotic times......

She followed me into the hall.

Our hall is built on the water, transparent on all sides, tied with light yarn, the hall can hear the sound of flowing water very clearly, the breeze through the hall, lift the light yarn, so that this place looks like a fairyland on earth. And all this is my brother's idea, in the design and construction of civil engineering, he discussed it with Xiao Jue, and then led people to get it up.

"You don't know me, why did you come here to look for me?" I asked her to sit down and asked.

We've been here for more than a hundred years, and I can't imagine anyone alive in this outside world who knows me.

She was fascinated by the beautiful construction of the hall, and for a moment she lost her mind, and then she heard my words clearly before turning back blankly. "That's ...... It is handed down from the clan, and when I was young, I listened to the old people of the clan...... It is said to be a place outside the world under Kunlun Mountain, Mrs. Xiao...... It can break the yin and yang ...... of life and death."

"Huh?" There is no doubt that this is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but this girl's statement makes me wonder if there is another Mrs. Xiao living here. However, what makes me more concerned is, "You mean, the legend of the clan?" ”

"Yes." She may have seen that I was no different, so she also acquiesced that I was the almost miraculous Mrs. Xiao she said, and even nodded her head quite hard, as if she wanted to confirm it to me, "My ancestor, my ancestor is the descendant of the Yu family, it is ......."

Is there a Yu family? Yu Shun?! That is, the last ancient emperor assisted by Xiao Jue in the name of Cangshu.

"Shun is Yu, Yu is Qi. Started for the summer, and then hereditary...... Now, Shaokang has been on the throne for some years. It's been more than a hundred years, haven't you thought that the Mrs. Xiao you are looking for may not be in this world for a long time. (To be continued.) )
