Chapter 127: The Storm is Coming
Gu Liusu squatted down and looked at Su Ruohan's feet carefully, took off her shoes and socks and looked at the ankles, which were really red and swollen, but it was a bit far-fetched to say that she had broken her feet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Su Ruohan looked at Gu Tassel seriously, then at his ankle, and said with a serious face: "Really? Can you tell if my feet are really loaded? ”
Gu Liusu nodded emphatically and said, "I don't know, but I seem to know something." ”
Su Ruohan hurriedly got up from the ground and asked, "Do you know medical skills?" Is that right? Do you remember the past? Su Ruohan felt that she seemed to be more powerful than other girls from the first glance, so she asked step by step: "Think about it." ”
Gu Tassel thought about it seriously and said: "Where do I remember, it's just that I think your foot injury must be pretended, and your acting skills are so poor, even I can't hide it, how can I deceive Aunt Zheng." ”
Su Ruohan pouted and said, "Hey...... I thought you'd remember something, but weren't you curious? Where did we come from? Why is it here? I heard you say that some of the other sisters have been living here for more than ten years, but they have never gone out. ”
Gu Tassel couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard her say this, and said: "Seriously, in this house, we practice every day, but we are always unsatisfactory, and Aunt Zheng is always dissatisfied, but what do we have to do when we practice these in the end?" I even started to get scared, you say we went out and saw the outside world, what was that like? ”
Su Ruohan tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "Although I don't know what the outside world is like, it's not like here after all." ”
Gu Liusu couldn't help but laugh at her when she saw her suddenly so sad, and said, "By the way, do you know, I heard that there is a pill in Aunt Zheng's room, and you can recover your memory if you eat it!" ”
Su Ruohan's big eyes swirled around and asked, "Really?" Is there really such a pill? After that, she saw Gu Liusu laughing, and Su Ruohan knew at once that she was lying to herself, so she began to scratch the itch on her waist, and said, "Okay, you Gu Liusu, you actually lied to me!" See how I get revenge on you! ”
Gu Liusu couldn't stand her scratching like this, she just kept giggling, and her tears actually laughed, and finally she grabbed Su Ruohan's hand, put away her smile, and said, "Okay, the time has been delayed for too long, let's hurry back to Ruoxuan Pavilion, Aunt Zhao is afraid that she has arrived." ”
Su Ruohan looked at his feet and said, "Otherwise, you can help say that I really have a sprained foot, and I will go back to the room first." After finishing speaking, he ran away, and there was no pretended formation just now, and Gu Liusu behind him shouted: "Ruohan, if you can't do this, I won't lie at all." ”
Su Ruohan stopped and turned around and said, "That's right, good sister, you are just shouting here, the louder the better, so that everyone will know that I am pretending." ”
Gu Liusu hurriedly covered her mouth, but she was angry and wanted to grab Su Ruohan to go to class, but she couldn't run away from her, she was a ghost in Aunt Zhao's eyes, and she was also an important cultivator in Aunt Zhao's eyes.
Gu Liusu also felt strange, Su Ruohan only came here three days ago, when she first came, she seemed to have been sick for a long time, and her body was still very weak, but she was already well in the afternoon, Aunt Zhao asked her to stay and take good care of her that day, and told her what to pay attention to here, Gu Liusu rarely said so many things to others, only her, as if she had known each other for a long time, maybe because she came from outside, she must have seen more things than herself, so she was very good to her.
Sometimes the friendship is very strange, it is only a few days, but the relationship is very good, just like Su Ruohan and Gu Tassel.
The sultry weather made the already thin air even more suffocating, and the osmanthus trees in the courtyard were swayed by the wind for a moment, as if they were going to be uprooted in the next second, Su Ruohan pushed open the window and looked at the sky outside, the original blue slowly changed into a thick inky black, the wind lifted the fallen leaves on the ground, blew off the osmanthus on the tree, and the wind made the originally fragrant osmanthus suddenly become more fragrant and pleasant.
The wind was blowing outside, and Su Ruohan originally planned to rely on the windowsill to look at the scenery outside, but now he couldn't .......
Close the window again and push the door out, take out a white silk handkerchief and start picking up the osmanthus on the ground, the small flowers are so crystal clear in Su Ruohan's hands, and the ten fingers are delicate and dexterous to quickly pick up the osmanthus on the ground, but the wind is too strong, where can the osmanthus be picked up for a while, she always picks up this, and that one is blown away by the wind.
Suddenly, picking up the raindrops the size of beans poured down with a bolt of lightning, Su Ruohan hurriedly picked up a handkerchief, covered his head with his hands and ran into the house. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Su Ruohan stood in front of the foyer and looked at the osmanthus that he didn't have time to pick up, and muttered secretly: "Why is this rain so urgent?" ”
The green chiffon long gauze skirt swayed and mopped the floor, the corners of the skirt were splashed by the rain, and a pair of green shoes with colorful butterflies playing with beads were also soaked, closed the door and walked behind the screen to begin to change out of the soaked clothes and shoes, a snow-white long skirt for a moment, the waist was tied with the waist of the osmanthus pattern, the cuffs and the corners of the skirt were also embroidered with the pattern of osmanthus, only the pale pink bandeau was embroidered with gold thread, and the long hair was splashed by the rain under the willows, so he simply used the silver hairpin to put all the hair trays and heads, which looked extraordinarily delicate and lovely.
At this moment, it was pouring rain outside, lightning and thunder, and the house was dark, but Su Ruohan was groping for candles, and the day suddenly became gloomy, not giving people the slightest chance to clean up, and was about to light candles with a fire fold.
The door creaked open.
Su Ruohan was shocked in her heart, she shouldn't have come back at this hour, she hurriedly lit the candle, and followed the light source to see Gu Liusu standing in front of the door soaked, she seemed to be greatly frightened, but her whole cheeks were extremely pale, there was no blood, and she looked panicked, as if she had experienced a very terrible thing.
Su Ruohan felt that something was wrong, walked over, then put the candle on the table, turned around and walked towards the door, pulled Gu Tassel inside, and hurriedly put the rain on her, but she was already soaked.
Su Ruohan pulled her again and said, "Come in, didn't your Aunt Zhao ask someone to prepare an umbrella for you?" Aren't you afraid of a cold if you simply get wet like this? After speaking, he took Gu Tassel and walked towards the house, pulled Tassel and sat on the bed and said, "You sit here first, I'll go get you a set of clean clothes." ”
Su Ruohan was about to leave in real person, suddenly, Gu Liusu grabbed her sleeve with a pair of cold hands, Su Ruohan felt strange, turned around to look at her, only to see her eyes wide open looking at herself, her body was still trembling obviously, and her voice seemed to come from hell, and said, "Miaoyan is dead...... ”
At this moment, there was another lightning bolt outside the window, and the extremely bright light illuminated the furnishings in the room, but it was fleeting and restored the darkness of the room.
Suddenly, the windows cracked open in the wind, and the room fell into a dead silence.
Witty words are dead? Isn't human life worth anything here? Why? Why did you let her go through all this, Su Ruohan's mood fell into a state of sadness, and then she eased her emotions, and there was a loud "click" outside the window, and then a lightning bolt crossed the night sky.
Su Ruohan looked back and saw that the candle was extinguished, and this angle also made the dress on her body flutter back and forth, she turned around to close the window, but found that the lock of the window was broken, so it was blown open by the wind, and then she moved a vase to lean on there, and then reluctantly closed the window.
Lighting the fire and lighting the candle again, and then finding a lot of candles, the room suddenly brightened.
Su Ruohan walked behind the screen and took out a set of clean plain clothes and walked towards the bed, looking at Gu Tausing's tears flowing all the time, Miaoyan's death is afraid that it will be a big blow to Gu Tassel, usually Miaoyan also relies on Aunt Zheng's favor to speak ill of Gu Tassel, but the surface disagreement is also that Gu Tassel and Miaoyan are talented women recognized by their aunts, they are difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, but Miaoyan's death made Gu Tassel panic in his heart.
Su Ruohan didn't know how to comfort her, but she looked at her in such an embarrassment, and trembled, so she said, "Change your wet clothes, you are going to catch a cold like this, come and I will help you." Su Ruohan automatically dragged off her clothes for Gu Tassel and changed into white plain clothes, and her whole person looked a lot refreshed.
"Ruohan, I'm scared ......" Gu Tassel's voice trembled obviously, and tears kept flowing all the time, and his whole body trembled obviously.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Tassel, don't worry, I'll accompany you." Su Ruohan hugged the trembling tassel in her arms and said in a low voice: "Sister Liu Su, you have lived here for so many years, you have spent so many years safely, I believe that you will be safe in the future, relax, forget all the things before, there was no company with me before, but now, with me with you, isn't it?" Besides, there are a lot of sisters, and we're all together. ”
Gu Liusu was still trembling, she thought about everything she had experienced in this house, those good sisters who accompanied her, the feelings were not good, it was false, and it was inevitable to stumble in ordinary times, Aunt Zhao didn't always say that women were always together like this or that, it was inevitable, but two died this year, Li Xiaoyun said things that shouldn't be said, asked questions that shouldn't be asked, and just beat them to death in front of the sisters, she knew that this was Aunt Zheng's idea, she wanted to kill a hundred people, so that they broke their minds, If you want to know what happened before, that is, death, and now things, this Gu Liusu knows, but what about the wonderful words? Is she Aunt Zheng's favorite person? How can they die?
Su Ruohan turned her head to look at Gu Tassel, who was still trembling in her arms. said: "What is the reason, you can't just dispose of the wonderful words for no reason!" ”
Gu Liusu looked up at Su Ruohanfu and lowered his head again and said softly, "She walked out of Ruoxuan Pavilion ......." ”
"What?" Su Ruohan was a little surprised, looked at the tassel in disbelief and asked again, "Really?" How dare she? "In this house, all the girls are not allowed to go out, otherwise there will be a bad end, this is a violation, how dare she?
Gu Tassel seemed to cheer up, his voice softened, and said: "Who said no, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zheng said more than once not to leave Ruoxuan Pavilion, and violators should be killed, but the wonderful words just don't listen to persuasion, so they ......." ”
Su Ruohan stood up and wanted to pour her a glass of water, took the blue and white teacup, poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to Gu Liusu, and asked, "How did she die?" ”
Gu Tasui didn't take the teacup and said in a low voice: "Bury ...... alive." ”
'Bang' The blue and white porcelain teacup fell to the ground crisply, and it was shattered suddenly, Su Ruohan's tears slipped down instantly, she originally wanted to rely on herself to give Gu Tassel a little bit of strength, but after hearing such a terrifying thing, all her pretended strength suddenly collapsed.
"How?" Su Ruohan's voice trembled obviously, and her hands trembled as she pulled Gu Liusu and said, "Why is it so cruel?" We have tried our best to listen to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zheng, why is this happening? What is the purpose of our fearful and cautious step-by-step operation? Could it be that our forbearance ended up dying here! It's not fair! Why don't we ask, what did we do before, why do we have no memory, if we ask, we will die, if we do something wrong, we will die, if we can't complete the task, we will die! If sooner or later they are going to die, why listen to them! ”
Gu Liusu suddenly stood up and covered Su Ruohan's mouth, she was almost trembling with fright, and said continuously: "Don't say it, don't say it, I'm afraid, didn't you tell me to be cautious in words and deeds, why do you still say it!" ”
No matter how strong Su Ruohan was, tears crossed her lips, she tasted a salty taste, she knew that she was crying, crying because of the women here, their lives were too bitter.
Su Ruohan hugged Gu Tassel tightly, and the two of them hugged each other and trembled.
Although Su Ruohan did not see Miaoyan's tragic death with her own eyes, Gu Tasui watched Miaoyan's death, such a struggling look, panic and unspeakable worry have always shrouded her heart, and there is a heavy scar in her heart that is difficult to heal.......
"Ruohan, you say, will we die?" Gu Liusu's voice was still trembling, and after she asked, she looked up at Su Ruohan again, but she saw a sad smile on her face, and then she understood, she was also from here, although she hadn't been here for a long time, but how many things could she know here.
Su Ruohan turned around and sat on the bed, bent her legs on her knees, hugged herself tightly, and asked softly, "Sister Liu Su, if it were possible, would you choose to run away?" ”
Gu Liusu looked stunned, then shook his head again and again, looked outside, his expression was very cautious and cautious, so he said: "Where do I dare to think, if one day I can get out alive, it is estimated that it will be the next life, I dare not think, Ruohan, I beg you to promise me." As she said this, she suddenly grabbed Su Ruohan's hand, which was very strong, and said: "Promise me, never run away, I don't want to see you die, and I don't want to see you hurt, the sisters who live here may be taken away that day, I don't want to see the corpse as soon as I open my eyes tomorrow......"
Su Ruohan looked at her in a daze, with a hint of sadness on her expression, what did she go through to make the originally well-lived woman so sad and so afraid, she understood their fear, and also understood their panic, but she couldn't understand why she couldn't rely on her own strength to escape.
Gu Liusu looked at her and didn't react, and increased the force in his hand again, and asked, "What are you thinking?" Then she seemed to understand, and said, "Don't move your mind that shouldn't be moved, please, don't!" Promise me, okay? ”
Su Ruohan looked at her pleading eyes, and finally nodded heavily, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
Xiangling City in the north is the base of important state affairs, and no one generally comes here, because there are officers and soldiers at the intersection of the entry, and the guards who strictly defend the use of the highest martial arts first-hand, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, if the living people are close, I am afraid that they will be discovered immediately.
The heavy door of Ruoxuan Pavilion was slammed shut after Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zheng left, and two women in navy blue dresses stood under the umbrella and looked at the tightly closed door in a daze. The two little girls behind her leaned forward and said, "Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zheng, hurry back to the room, such a heavy rain is not careful, I am afraid that it will catch a cold." ”
Aunt Zheng glanced back at Ling'er, who was holding an umbrella for Aunt Zhao, and said, "You still know that you feel sorry for your master." ”
Ling'er giggled, her voice was very sweet, and said, "What do you say, it is natural for a slave and maid to serve the master's life." ”
"What a sweet mouth, it seems that you still know how to train people." Zheng Baojuan smiled at Zhao Lifen and said, "I'll go back to the room first, do you want to go with me?" ”
Zhao Lifen nodded and looked at the girl behind her and said, "You go back first, I'll go back to the room later, you go to the kitchen first and let the masters prepare a little more ginger soup for the girls, I'm afraid they will also be drenched by the rain just now." ”
Ling'er nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Ling'er is actually one of the young ladies, because she is talented and can coax people, so she can be removed from the list of young ladies.
The girl behind Zheng Baojuan also left silently, how can Qiu Yue, who has been Zheng Baojuan's girl for many years, not know the temperament of her master?
"The girls are gone, what do you want to say to me?" Zheng Baojuan asked.
Zhao Lifen gathered the cloak on her body, looked at the water droplets dripping from the umbrella and said, "Go to your room, this is not the place to talk." She paid special attention to the environment in the house, but when she said this, she must have said something important.
"It's fine." Zheng Baojuan replied, along the way, there were rockeries lined up in the pond, there were blisters everywhere like a pot, the water splashed, and a lightning illuminated the figures of the two people exceptionally brightly, and suddenly it was pitch black, and the two people were silent just walking with their heads down, and the sound of rain crackling all around was heard.
Pushing open the door, the stove was already lit in the house, and the coal added a warm current to the house, although it was true that it was autumn, but this time the heavy rain was frighteningly cold.
It's really an autumn rain and a cold.
"It seems that Qiuyue, this girl is very attentive, and she wants to be in front of her master in everything." Zhao Lifen lowered her head and smiled, entered the house and stood the umbrella in front of the foyer, untied the cloak on her body and hung it on the clothes pole at the door.
"Doesn't your girl know pain and heat?" Zheng Baojuan also untied her cloak at the door and closed the door to isolate the sound of rain outside. "Drink something? I have Jiangnan just arrived in the rain before the rain, and ......"
"Who doesn't know that you have so much good tea here." Zhao Lifen interrupted her, glanced back at her and said with a smile: "After all, the dragon well before the rain is too precious, you better keep it for yourself and drink it, just make me some Biluochun." Zhao Lifen sat on the chair of Lihuamu, looked back at Zheng Baojuan and smiled.
Zheng Baojuan walked towards the inner room and walked out with an urn and a delicate wooden box, the box containing tea was very exquisite, although it was a wooden box, but it was inlaid with this precious agate, which showed how precious it was. She said coldly: "What else do you say about the preciousness of Longjing before the rain, I think it is still your mouth the most, who doesn't know the preciousness of Longjing before the rain, but if it is about tea tasting or Biluochun north of the south of the Yangtze River, you and I have been fighting for so long for so many years, it is rare to be able to sit down and taste tea quietly." ”
"Need help?" Zhao Lifen asked.
Zheng Baojuan took a freshly opened pot alone and poured hot water into the teapot, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing. "No, you just have to wait and drink."
Zhao Lifen nodded, pondered for a long time and said, "Miaoyan is your favorite woman, why are you today?" She suddenly retracted, although the two of them usually partner with each other, and there are many people who die in their hands, but the dead must also die as they deserve, after all, it is not like today.
"What if a disobedient woman likes it again? Today, she dared to walk out of Ruoxuan Pavilion in front of so many people, and she would dare to expose everything here in the future, I don't dare to make this bet, you and I can't afford to lose. Zheng Baojuan's stern voice remembered, and continued: "You and I have been following the lord for many years, don't you know the powerful relationship here?" Although you have won the favor of the lord, you have to admit that you are too soft-hearted. ”
The lord in their mouth is the biggest behind-the-scenes person here, and he also does it here, just to export the best fine works for each country, so that he can work hard for their northern country in the future.
Zhao Lifen poured a cup of Biluochun for herself and a cup for Zheng Baojuan, took a sip of Biluochun, the slight bitterness rippled on the tip of her tongue, and she tasted tea again: "So I am careful and thoughtful, it is inevitable that I will ignore some problems, you do things immediately, you and I are complementary, so the lord ordered you and me to do this together." ”
Zheng Baojuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You see things are transparent?" ”
"It's been many years, and you and I haven't worked together for a day or two." Zhao Lifen smiled and changed the topic: "Is there any news where you went to the lord this time?" (To be continued.) )
