Chapter 62: Confession from the Tree
Early the next morning, before the sky was shining, Mu Yubai was led by the servants of the prince's mansion and left Gaoxun's mansion through an inconspicuous corner gate.
When she sat in a carriage that was even more inconspicuous than when she came, Mu Yubai's heart was full of thoughts, and it was still the conversation with Xu Lianqiao last night.
"Since it's your space-time gate project, why am I on this plane?" When his mood finally calmed down, Mu Yubai continued to ask.
"It should be a balance of space." Xu Lianqiao explained: "In order to make history move smoothly along the general trajectory, this time and space, or the universe that you can understand as this world, automatically selected people from our world who can help maintain this balance to check and balance what I do." ”
"You instigated Rong Di to attack Da Sheng, and I helped Da Sheng repel Rong Di?"
"Yes, there is such a possibility, but I didn't expect that the person who was picked by this plane would be you." Xu Lianqiao's voice was a little remorseful, why is it his teacher's daughter and his friend's sister?
Creation makes people, he has to believe.
"Is there a way to get me out of here?" Mu Yubai then asked.
"There's no way to get you off." Xu Lianqiao's gaze fell on the metal ring again: "But after my mission is terminated, you may be able to leave." ”
"How are you willing to terminate the mission?"
"I'm dead." As if saying something that has nothing to do with him, Xu Lianqiao said to Mu Yubai in a comforting tone: "The task is terminated." ”
The carriage was bumpy on the uneven dirt road, Mu Yubai sat on the corner of her clothes with her hands and knees crossed, tears wetting the corners of her clothes, and the sound of wooden wheels creaking and rolling covered her sobbing.
In the bustling land in the desert, Mu Yubai was full of sadness.
The carriage sent Mu Yubai all the way back to the Hu firm, and since she followed Hu Jingming, she naturally had to leave with Hu Jingming. Hu Jingming's departure time is set for half a month later, and during this time, Mu Yubai has remained closed.
There was a tree across the street from her room that could not be named, with a thick trunk and a very strong branch that looked very strong. After the sting, only a few dead branches and leaves were left to hang pitifully on it, and there were occasional tender green emerging from the branches, but I don't know when it will grow.
Mu Yubai looked at this tree for more than ten days.
Every time the people of the Hu family firm passed under Mu Yubai's room, they could see a face with tears on it when they looked up.
Everyone still remembers all kinds of jokes she caused when she came, as well as the amazing appearance of her in front of the inn in red, such a lively and clever girl, she became like this after two days of going to Gaoxun Mansion, and everyone who was familiar with Mu Yubai sighed for her in their hearts.
What a good girl, ruined like this.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the Hu firm, which had just fallen silent, became lively again. When he came, his brother drank one wine after another with Lao Su.
No one knows if they will see each other again next year, so goodbye is said in a more solemn way.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, taking advantage of the time when everyone was drinking, the old man climbed the old tree, stopped at a place where he could look at Mu Yubai, and called out a little shyly: "Miss Mu, Miss Mu." ”
"What's the matter?" Mu Yubai, who was staring at a daze, was called back to his train of thought by the shouting and asked.
"Uh...... You're leaving tomorrow, so you get some rest early tonight. ”
"Thank you, Qingfeng has already told me." Mu Yubai's voice was faint, making people unable to hear the emotion.
"That...... I have secretly hidden some fruit in the carriage, and if you are hungry or thirsty on the way, you can take it out and eat it at any time. The old man scratched his head and continued a little shyly.
"Okay, thanks." Mu Yubai then thanked him.
"That ......" the old man squatted on the branch, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking quite like a monkey, Mu Yubai stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
"That ......" for a long time, the old man still didn't say what he wanted to say, Mu Yubai looked at him and was a little anxious for him, and couldn't help asking: "What's that?" ”
"Don't be sad about that Mu girl." As if he had finally gathered enough courage, the old man suddenly raised his head, and the young man was scorching and met her, his eyes were full of determination: "If you can't find your in-laws when you turn around, I will marry you, my mother said, no matter how noble or low, a good girl is a good girl." ”
"You sympathize with me?" Mu Yubai tilted her head and winked at the old man, she didn't know that the Hu family merchants had looked at her recently, and she could guess what these onlookers who didn't know the truth were thinking about.
"No, no, no, I don't sympathize with you......" was asked by Mu Yubai like this, the old man was suddenly speechless, and his dark face instantly turned red, fortunately the outside of the house was dim and invisible, and he hurriedly explained: "I, I, I like you." ”
"You like me? What do you like about me? ”
"You are the smartest girl I have ever seen, smarter than the eldest lady of the Hu family, and you are bold enough, I don't even dare to enter the Gaoxun Mansion, you can stay in it for two days, all the young ladies of the Hu family, no, all the young ladies in the capital are afraid that they can't do it, and, and you, you, you are still beautiful......" The last few words, the old man simply said it in a nasal voice, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Mu Yubai again.
was praised so bluntly, Mu Yubai was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. I didn't see the other party react for a long time, so the old man raised his eyes timidly and peeked over, but this glance fixed his whole person there.
Miss Mu, smiled?
It wasn't the laughing he had seen before, it wasn't the triumphant smile he had seen after teasing them, and it wasn't the perfunctory laugh he had when he didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Mu Yubai's already pleasing face had a faint smile, like a peony that was still blooming after being ravaged by a heavy rain.
In those empty eyes, there was a bright light, which people could find at a glance even in the dark.
The old man still remembers that on the first night Miss Mu came, he saw such a pair of eyes.
"The young man has a lot of taste, I'm a lot older than you." When Mu Yubai opened his mouth again, there was no longer any dullness in his tone, and it had changed back to his previous casualness.
"It's okay, my mother is five years older than my father, and they are doing well now."
"Hahaha......" Mu Yubai suddenly wanted to meet the old man's mother, and felt that this aunt was also a real strange woman, and laughed for more than ten seconds, Mu Yubai wiped the last trace of the corner of his eyes, I don't know whether it was sadness or joy to shed tears, and then said: "Your mother likes the little brother, but I don't like it, my favorite is the real man, wait for your hair to grow up, come and talk to me about this, little monkey." ”
Qi Yuan, I brought the disaster to your family. I will definitely make up for this apology on your brother!
