Chapter 14: The Darkness Before Dawn
No matter what the world, the face of the official mansion is the most solemn, there are two stone lion mansions at the door, the vermilion gate is not closed day and night, and there are several layers of guards standing inside and out. The middle-aged man led a group of us into the courtyard with a group www.biquge.info of people, and the official guarding the door saluted the middle-aged man before entering the door, calling him Li Zhutou. Li Zhutou led me through the front yard to a side room in the back yard, arranged the woman in the cloth bag elsewhere, and asked his men to hire a doctor, and arranged several guards outside my door, and then he came into the house and asked me if I needed anything.
All the way here, I was thinking about it, how can I not only confess Qiu Aojun, but also pick the peony from this matter, and also explain the whole thing clearly, so as not to let the people in the government check the wrong direction and cause unnecessary trouble?
It wasn't until I entered the yamen that I suddenly remembered, isn't Peony the person my master is staring at? If I say this to the people in the government, will it hurt Master's affairs? So I had another idea in my heart, and said to Li Zhutou: "You first send someone to the Liuji Medical Center in the south of the city, tell Dr. Liu that I am assisting the government in handling the case, and let them not worry about me." Then go to Qianqiu, Xiao Hanqi, and Yang Yuqing and call one of them at random, I have something to tell them, I won't tell you anything if they don't come! ”
When Li Zhutou heard that I asked him to find the names of these three people, he was shocked. Q: Do I know them? I said that I really didn't speak anymore, no matter how he asked me, he didn't say a word, and in the end he didn't say a word, saying that he reported to the adult, and then went out of the house and never came back. I waited for a while, and then I came up sleepy, and before I knew it, I fell asleep on the table......
I was woken up hungry, tired and hungry after a busy night of work without dinner. It was already dark, and when I woke up and sat up straight with my stomach clutched, there was a sudden lightness on my body, and something slipped down. I looked down and saw that it was a dark blue book cloak embroidered with dark lines, and when I picked it up, I looked around curiously, and at the place next to me, Xiao Hanqian was reading a book. Without raising his head, he threw out a sentence: "Awake? ”
I replied stunned, "Huh? …… Well. ”
He stopped talking, just looked down at the book. Maybe it's because I just woke up, maybe it's because of the dim candlelight, or maybe the picture of him reading a book is really beautiful, I looked at him for a long time and couldn't come back to my senses, although I was silent, I still hope that this moment is eternity, how beautiful it should be, there is no future...... There is no ...... of life and death.
I always remember the most painful things when I want to forget the most. The lonely years of staying in the underworld, the pain and suffering of the previous life when I just died, suddenly came to me like a tidal wave, drowning me. My heart throbbed so violently that I slipped out of my chair. I crouched on the ground with my chest clutched, tears streaming down my face.
Xiao Hanqian was startled by my actions, and he walked up to me, but I didn't want him to see my expression, so I buried my head deep between my arms. He anxiously asked me what was wrong, I shook my head and wiped away my tears by the way, took a deep breath and looked up, pouted and said, "I'm hungry......"
He stared at me for a moment and helped me back into my chair. Fiddled with my bangs neatly, wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes with my thumb, and said softly: "You ......, forget it!" I'll send someone to prepare food for you. ”
After saying that, he turned to walk out the door, and seeing that he was leaving, I unconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of his sleeve, lowered my head and said in a voice that I couldn't even hear: "Thank you." Then he slowly let go of his hand.
He didn't speak, just rubbed my head gently, very lightly. Then I went out and explained to the people outside. I don't know why I just wanted to cry, but I tried to hold back, I couldn't get out of control like this anymore.
It didn't take long for a large bowl of hot noodle soup to be delivered to me. In the eyes of hungry people, any bullshit mood is nothing compared to food. I immediately swept away the melancholy just now, focused all my energy on eating, and after a wolf spitting out the wind and clouds, I sat down in the chair, patted my belly that was propped up on the ground, and sighed with satisfaction: "Ah...... Well fed! ”
After Xiao Hanqian ordered someone to clean up the table, he sat down next to me and read the book again. It's okay to eat enough**** thought about what happened at night again, and suddenly asked him: "Did the people from the government inform Sister Liu, I don't want her to worry!" ”
He put down the book in his hand, stared at me and said coldly, "Are you also afraid that others will worry?" ”
"You...... What do you mean? "I was a little weak by him, and I didn't have the confidence to speak.
Immediately after that, he began to criticize me fiercely, saying that I had no heart and lungs, did not think twice before acting, and did not consider the feelings of the people around me; I still think I'm nosy, I don't know whether I'm alive or dead. I also said that I was stalking people in white clothes at night, and I was an idiot! Later, the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he slammed the book on the table with a bang, so frightened that I almost fell off the chair.
This is the first time I've seen him get angry, and I wondered, wasn't he okay just now? It is said that women change their faces quickly, and this man's face changes like turning a book. I was a little angry when I heard him call me an idiot, but his act of smashing the book extinguished my arrogance and made me frightened. I whispered to myself, "I can't blame all of this, it's the man in black who is too suspicious...... "I think it's better to talk about it again, and it's better to change the subject." "That's right! What about my master and Brother Yang? Why didn't they come! ”
Xiao Hanqian glared at me for a while, then turned his head: "The two of them went to the scene with Lord Yin and Lord Admiral Wang, and it's almost time to come back." ”
really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Xiao Hanqi's words fell, Master and Brother Yang came back. There was the sound of their fast and urgent footsteps outside the door, and I could hear my heart go up and down, thinking that Xiao Hanqian was angry with me, and the master had to scold me to death, I was miserable this time! The master kicked the door open with his foot, his face filled with anger. When he saw me, he showed an expression of instant relief, which made me feel a little lucky, and then he showed his fierce face and shouted at me: "Shang Tianrong, you give me a side to stand!" ”
I was so frightened that I stood up obediently, found a corner away from them and stood up, and looked at Brother Yang as if asking for help, Brother Yang glanced at me, shook his head helplessly, and turned his head to the other side. I panicked, I didn't feel like I had done anything serious, why were they so angry one by one? After Master and Brother Yang sat down, no one spoke for a long time, and the room was so quiet that it was frightening, and I peeked at Master nervously, feeling like a death row prisoner who was about to be sent to the guillotine. It's the darkness before the dawn, the calm before the storm! It's so torturous, you might as well come up and beat me up!
It took me a long time before the master spoke to let me over, and I moved step by step for a long time before standing in front of him. Master pointed a folding fan on my forehead and said hatefully, "Shang Tianrong, do you think you are quite powerful?" "My head shook like a wave." If you're not good, what can you do? Don't you have a good eye? You can't see how much better the two guys are than you in the fight? What are you mixing with blindly? Do you think your life is too long, or do you think your life is hard enough?! ”
I begged with an aggrieved face: "Master, don't be angry, I didn't mean to, really!" I originally just wanted to watch the excitement, but I didn't expect them to fight, and the peony is about to finish playing, I can't die without help, right? Besides, if I don't make a move, the girl in the bag will definitely be saved. Master, just for the sake of me saving two lives, will you spare me? I promise with my personality that I will never make similar mistakes again next time! ”
"Are you embarrassed to use your personality? When have you ever been in distress and not guaranteed? And when did you make sure you didn't do it again?! As he spoke, he pinched my face with both hands. I'm just too used to you! will teach you so ignorantly, it seems that you will have to be strictly disciplined in the future! After saying that, he rubbed me hard in the face, making my cheeks hurt hotly.
Brother Yang couldn't stand it in the end, and finally helped me. He dragged me over to him, changed the subject, and said, "Qianqiu, I see that Rong'er already knows that she is wrong, so you can teach this lesson first, or let Rong'er tell me about last night's incident, and we can sort out a countermeasure." Rong'er, I heard you talk about peony just now, what happened yesterday? ”
I immediately cooperated with Brother Yang's words and talked about what happened last night, and when I talked about it, I tried my best to vaguely bring the dangerous places over, but the more I talked about them, the worse the faces of the three of them became, and the atmosphere was even more terrifying than last night's fight.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Hanqian frowned and asked, "Are you sure you heard it right, the person who fought with Peony is called Qiu Aojun?" And the two are still called sisters and sisters? ”
"That's right! I'm not too far away, and I really hear it! After saying that, I immediately covered my mouth again, for fear that the sentence "not too far away" would ignite their anger again. Thankfully, none of them got angry, but pondered. Although I am full of doubts, I have no choice but to speak, I just hate that there is no stealth technique, so that they can't see me! After a moment of silence, the three of them began to talk word by word.
Brother Yang felt that the names of Qiu Aojun and Qiu Aoting were very familiar. Xiao Hanqian told him that these two people were from the Red Leaf Valley, and they were the second and fifth disciples of the Qiu Three Heroes of the Qiu Family. Needless to say, that Qiu Aojun must be the second, and Peony is the fifth child. Brother Yang suddenly remembered and wondered why the two of them were still alive. According to Brother Yang, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the three heroes of Qiu suffered a disaster more than 300 years ago, and no one in the door survived, which is a well-known unsolved case. Now why did two disciples suddenly appear, and they fought to the death? Could it be that there is another hidden meaning in the destruction of the door?
