Qu Yiying leaned against the gate, and before he could carefully look at what kind of courtyard he had entered, his body involuntarily slid down the door panel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she gasped softly, feeling that she was safe, and the tight string in her heart slowly loosened.

After a few breaths, she secretly screamed again, remembering that the light just now might attract the guards, so she looked ahead, and took advantage of the moonlight to notice that she was in a place like a garden. In the center of the yard are some flowers and plants, and on the right is a small pond with a swing between two small trees.

"Who is it?"

A young and gentle voice sounded, as if the master had sensed that someone had entered. Qu Yiying wanted to find a place to hide, but although there were plants and flowers around, they were too short to hide people at all.

Just as she was in a hurry to find a place to hide, the footsteps came to her with a faint light.

"You...... Why is Miss here? The person who came was holding an orange lantern in his right hand, and there was surprise on his face, but there was clearly a bit of surprise in the surprise.

At this time, Qu Yiying's black hair on his temples had already been wet with sweat, and his exquisitely made dress was also wrinkled when he escaped, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed. Through the candlelight, she looked at the white-faced, red-lipped, gentle-looking man and realized that he was the same person she had asked about her marriage when she and Zhongli entered the city.

Because it was night, he was only wearing a white undershirt and a cloak outside, and his thin body was slightly thin. In the autumn wind, he was quietly watching her, a pair of eyes as clear as water, as if they could soothe any restless heart.

Qu Yiying also felt the calming aura on his body, and subconsciously felt that he would not hurt himself, so he reluctantly smiled and said softly, "Childe, can you blow out the candlelight first, and then listen to my explanation?" ”

Hearing this, the man didn't ask any more questions, quietly buried his head, and extinguished the lantern in his hand. And soon after the light dimmed, a guard with torches chased after him outside the door, and one of them said in surprise, "I saw her turn into this alley, why did she disappear all of a sudden?" ”

Qu Yiying was standing by the door, and when she heard this, the strings in her heart began to tense again.

"Don't let her fool you! Even Wang Shu and Xiang Yuan tricked her into the room and knocked out, maybe she didn't walk in at all just now, just to confuse us! "One of them is humane.

"Yes, yes. Maybe she's fled to the other side. A guard chimed in.

"Then let's chase it!" After a while, the footsteps faded away with the light of the torches.

Qu Yiying looked through the crack in the door and carefully observed the outside to make sure they had really left.

"Miss is being hunted?" The person behind him asked softly, although it was an inquiry, but his voice was gentle and sincere, and there was no temptation.

She turned her head slowly, and the moonlight shone on his young and handsome face. He stood still, as if he was worried that she would be afraid, and did not move forward, and comforted, "Miss don't panic, if I don't help you, I won't extinguish the candle." ”

Qu Yiying said a little apologetically, "If I stay here until dawn, will I cause trouble to my son?" I...... Now there is nowhere to go. ”

In the darkness, the man's face was invisible. He slowly stretched out the lantern he was holding in his right hand and said softly, "It's cold at night, I'll take Miss to the house." My surname is Yan Mingning, and my brother's parents call me Xiao Ning, I wonder if Miss can tell me my name? ”

If it were another man, maybe Qu Yiying wouldn't dare to believe it easily. But for some reason, now she doesn't even know where she is, but she is so relieved. She also slowly stretched out her hand, lightly rested on the lantern, and whispered, "My name is Qu Yiying." ”

After a while, passing by the small circular pond and a few houses, Yan Ning took her to a courtyard. A lamp was lit in a room in the courtyard, and the candlelight was reflecting the scene outside through the half-open paper window, and under a green and upright old tree, a rocking chair that could sit two people at the same time was placed, and beside it, there was a half-foot-high wooden table, on which was a somewhat yellowed book, gently turning the pages in the quiet and peaceful night with the breeze.

When the two walked to the rocking chair, Yan Ning's pace gradually slowed down, turned around, and said to her who was looking around, "Miss......"

Qu Yiying hurriedly smiled, "It's good if you call me Yiying," she was worried that he would misunderstand, and explained, "That's what my family calls me." ”

At this time, just in front of the door, he stopped his steps and stared at her, his clear and peaceful gaze, as if a newborn baby had just arrived in the world, and people could not have any distracting thoughts.

Seeing that his eyes were elegant and pure, Qu Yiying was a little ashamed, and secretly blamed herself for thinking too much, she buried her head embarrassedly, and heard Yan Ning's soft voice again, "Yiying, you can sleep in my room tonight." ”

"What about you? You're ...... too" She looked puzzled, but she didn't dare to continue the following words, for fear that she was just thinking nonsense.

Yan Ning stood tall and looked at her quietly, as if he wanted to hear her finish her unfinished words.

But Qu Yiying didn't say a word for a long time, so he had to smile lightly, "I'm outside, and I have to transcribe some articles to the bamboo album before dawn. It's better to rest early. ”

She really thought about it too much.

Qu Yiying glanced at the wooden table under the ancient tree, only to find that there were still several bamboo slices with undried ink under the original yellowed book. She was a little surprised, but also a little sighed, it seems that no matter ancient or modern, people have to keep learning.

"Xiao Ning, are you copying books? Do these at night, though...... Isn't it good? She thought that the books here were precious, and it was estimated that the readers were like Yan Ning who transcribed the articles one by one on the bamboo slips.

Hearing this, Yan Ning looked at Qu Yiying, with a little tiredness in his eyes, "Yes, copying books is a very heavy task, so I plan to copy some every day and accumulate little by little." In this way, you will not feel bored, and you will be able to really learn the knowledge in the book every day. However, because of the recent delays in the process, I will rush to the night and write the remaining two articles together. ”

"I see,"

Qu Yiying realized, "Dispersing a seemingly troublesome thing can not only complete it stably and continuously, but also make yourself not painful...... Her eyes lit up and she said appreciatively, "Xiao Ning, you are so smart." ”

Yan Ning smiled and said modestly, "I'm just a little casual, I don't want to force it, I think it's better to let everything go naturally." ”
