Chapter 190: The Death of the Fragrance (2)
A sudden birdsong outside the window woke up the sleeping Cen Kexuan, who suddenly got up and looked around, only to realize that there was already no one beside him, and he didn't know when he was put on a thin quilt and slipped down when he got up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info fumbled with the soft bedding, she closed her eyes and thought about it, she was very sleepy after drinking the medicine early, leaning on Bai Moyin and looking at the dripping rain, she fell asleep unconsciously.
"Bai Gongzi?" I got up and pushed the door open, and looked around the yard, but I didn't find half a figure.
The peony in the small courtyard is moist and moist because of the rain, the green leaves are lazily stretched, and the petals are still hanging with crystal water droplets, which is peaceful and beautiful, and makes people palpitate. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, the air was moist and cold, and there was a little loneliness, it was clear that we had only met again yesterday, and now that I knew that he was not around, I even felt lonely.
She sighed, pushed open the door of the next room, and there was a simple bed, a wooden table, the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, there was hardly a trace of wrinkles on the bed, a few sheets of rice paper as thin as cicada wings on the wooden table, neatly pressed on the edge by the inkstone, a candlestick that had been extinguished, and nothing else.
There is only one piece on the screen, which may be the coat that was changed yesterday, and it can be seen that there are people living in this house.
The incense burner had long since been extinguished, the smell of incense had dissipated early, and the room was cold, leaving no trace of the familiar smell. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, and cautiously entered the house, and sat down where he had sat last night.
The room was surprisingly spacious, and looking up at the door, she held out her hand and gestured: one, two, three...... It's about seven paces away, so far, so close...... In the face of his repeated and repeated expressions, everything seems to have finally become a little different.
With her elbows resting on the table, she gradually buried her face between her elbows, and the bright sunlight outside the window fell into her eyes, and her thoughts began to feel a little uncontrollable.
What did he think? What kind of thoughts are hidden? Last night, he showed his heart to her again, what did he mean by what he said, and why did he treat her like that? Thinking of the eyes staring at her in the dark night, her already ruddy face couldn't help but burn, she quickly patted her hot cheeks, straightened up, and began to look at a few discarded papers on the table.
There are some words written on it, like a prescription, she picked up one and looked at it, there were several flavors of medicine written side by side, some know, some don't know, and some haven't even heard of it, wrote a page, but for some reason it was crossed out again, it seemed very abrupt, could it be a mistake? Still hesitating about something?
"The words are as beautiful as ever." She laughed a little, thinking that he didn't know where he had gone, and was slightly lost and uneasy.
"Girl, are you looking for the boy from last night?" A slightly old hoarse voice came from the door, Cen Kexuan was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw a somewhat rickety servant, who looked about forty or fifty years old, wearing a fairly clean gray and white cloth robe, holding a basin of water in his hand, and when he passed by the door, he stopped and looked at himself.
"He went out early in the morning, and when he left, he told me that the girl would be a little drowsy after taking the medicine, and that she should not disturb her rest, and that the girl had woken up on her own." The old servant met her gaze and continued.
"Are you ......" Cen Kexuan thought back for a moment and confirmed that he had never seen him.
"I'm not afraid of the girl's jokes when I say it, the medicine the girl took this morning was exactly what the villain went out last night, walked for several miles, and ran all over the town to buy it."
Last night...... Cen Kexuan moved down his line of sight along his body, and saw that his feet were less than half a step away from the threshold, the light at the threshold was cut into two, light and dark were distinct, and the ground in the room was flat and clean and dust-free. When he delivered the medicine last night, Bai Moyin was clearly behind the door, pressed himself in front of him, hugged him tightly and never let go, but he lied as if nothing had happened......
Her face burned red all of a sudden, as if she was a thief, and she struggled for a long time before she realized that she was a little embarrassed and said, "That's really ...... Thank you. ”
"It's a duty, and the girl is polite." The old servant didn't know her awkwardness, waved his hand and didn't mind, but didn't know what he thought, suddenly stepped forward two steps slightly, looked at her carefully, seemed to look at her face, and asked her with concern, "Did the girl take the medicine last night?" ”
"Eat them all." Cen Kexuan sat up straight, stood up and smiled embarrassedly at him: "It's just a little bitter." He smiled like a child who had not grown up, and his eyes were bent. The other party also laughed with her, and said, "It's all said that good medicine is bitter", Cen Kexuan also smiled and nodded yes, thinking that he was leaving, but who knew that at the end, he suddenly asked: "That girl, ...... Are you okay? ”
Cen Kexuan was a little inexplicable, he didn't quite understand why this old man asked like this, although he grabbed the medicine to eat, but he had never met before, and he didn't see how unwell he was, how could this person be weird? But because of etiquette, Cen Kexuan still had to nod and continue to smile: "It's much better." ”
"That's fine, that's fine." The servant looked at her twice more as if relieved, and laughed, "I've been a little worried, the medicine ......," he hesitated, "Last night, that boy was busy decocting medicine for the girl, and he didn't sleep all night, I looked at him, but he didn't ...... to the girl It's a lot of work. The other party looked at her cautiously and said in a somewhat cautious tone.
Is it really a whole night without sleep? Cen Kexuan was in a trance, and at the same time, she felt distressed, like a spring rain soaked in her heart, she slightly bent the corners of her mouth, a trace of warmth overflowed in her eyes, nodded and said, "He is very good to me." Seeing that the other party did not speak, she laughed to herself, pursed her lips and whispered again: "He has always been very good to me." ”
The grievances of the previous generation are no longer verifiable, whether he knows it or not, no matter how he resents the tragic death of his family, he can only blame the murderer for being cruel and ruthless.
In fact, he himself has never coveted anything she has, nor has he ever felt sorry for her in the slightest, on the contrary, he has taken care of her all kinds along the way, and has never made her suffer half a grievance, even the lost family heirloom jade pendant, if he doesn't say it, who will know that he picked it up? But he still returned her with a smile after they met, and at that moment, all the gloom in her heart dissipated.
Thinking about how uncontrollably resentful he was before, he was hostile to him, he was never angry, he had deliberately snubbed him, and even guarded him everywhere, he didn't feel sorry for himself, he actually always ......
These words were held in her heart for a long time, and she never said them after all, and she owed him a word of apology.
Cen Kexuan lowered his head, his heart was sweet and bitter.
The servant gossiped with her, and when he saw that she was absent-minded, he said that he had something else to do, and hurried away. Cen Kexuan sat alone in the room for a while, and when she saw that the window was gradually becoming innocent, she suddenly remembered that since she met Han Yue, she had never seen Xiao Wu and them again, and she didn't know if they would worry about her, no matter what, she should go back and report her safety.
It's still early, and once I go, maybe Bai Gongzi is almost back.
She got up and went directly to the previous inn, but when she found the inn she had stayed at before, she learned that all the people were not there, and she left in a hurry early in the morning.
"Where have they gone?"
"I heard that it was Zhang's house, and there were a lot of people here."
