Chapter 128: City
He seemed to have broken the girl's heart.
Seeing the crystal flash in Apricot eyes the moment Ah Yao turned her head, this thought instantly rose in Lu Jingyuan's mind, and it became extremely clear in an instant.
What the hell is he doing? Obviously, she can't control her more and more possessiveness, and it's obvious that she has a problem, why do you want her to bear the consequences in the end?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, and her body had already taken off before her consciousness, touching the beams of the house and crossing it, and landing in front of her. The hand under the black robe reached out and firmly grasped her slender wrist.
"Nope."
was startled by the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, and after she reacted, A-Yao heard two words with a deep sense of chagrin. There was something strange in her heart, but her single-threaded head was all occupied by the indifference of others.
Brother Jing was avoiding her, obviously he approached her first, and finally she mustered up the courage to respond...... The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and the tears swirled around in my eyes a few times, and finally couldn't help but overflow.
"Mo ...... Crying. ”
He really made her cry, and clumsily put the handkerchief on her face, Lu Jingyuan, who had never coaxed a woman, was a little helpless, so he could only repeat the same words over and over again.
The rare gentle tone made Ah Yao feel more and more aggrieved, her feelings became more and more exposed, and tears poured out like a broken embankment.
Something had to be said. Hurriedly dealing with the watering can in front of him, Lu Jingyuan's brain, which was completely disturbed by her tears, finally broke through the awkwardness and explained: "I didn't mean to avoid you. ”
"Liar!" As she said indistinctly, Ah Yao cried more and more.
"I really didn't mean to, I'm just afraid of getting too close to you......"
Before the "hurting you" in the back was spoken, Qingshuang's call suddenly sounded outside the hospital, which was nothing less than heaven for the now heartbroken A-Yao.
After crying for so long, her tears were basically dry, and she turned her head to wash her face in the basin that she had just brought in, and after wiping it off, she combed her hair indiscriminately, and the whole process was done in one go. After her face, which was dry from crying, became a little more comfortable, she forced herself to hold up the pride in her heart.
"The hour is not early, and the people will retire first."
Avoiding her? She hasn't had time to deal with him yet!
In the feed, shop, silk market, reading, she has to be busy every day! She can't do anything without this effort.
The Lingtai was slightly clear, and when she walked out, A-Yao's footsteps were not slow, which fully reflected the good upbringing of the Hu family since childhood.
Keenly aware of her changes, and just calling herself a "people's girl", Lu Jingyuan secretly said bad in his heart. At that moment, he couldn't care about the man's face and the Hou Ye's frame anymore, so he said by the words that had just been interrupted, "I'm afraid that I will get too close to you and hurt you." ”
"Hurt me?" There was a slight mockery in Ah Yao's voice, of course, it was still mixed with a thick grievance.
"Yes," Lu Jingyuan closed his eyes and said in the tone of a strong man's broken wrist: "I can't see it for a while, and I think about it like panic." ”
What does this mean? Ah Yao, who was walking out, was so shocked that she stopped. Turning her head away, between her four eyes, the young man's deep eyes firmly captured her, and said, "It's too close, I'm afraid I can't help but restrain you." ”
The sudden confession made Ah Yao stunned in place, and the enthusiasm, which was completely different from the previous indifference, gradually dispelled the coldness, and the sweet breath in the hot heart spread.
"Girl."
Qingshuang's slightly anxious voice came outside, and when he caught a glimpse of the young man's suddenly cold look, a hint of cunning flashed in A-Yao's swollen walnut eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
"It's bedtime soon, and if you don't go back, Daddy and Auntie should ask tomorrow for breakfast."
After saying that, she bowed and stepped out of the room with ladylike steps.
Seeing her go out, the little marquis who had just "disregarded his face" and analyzed his heart was stunned. This girl, how is it different from the reaction he expected.
What made him even more stunned was still to come, and in the next few days, A-Yao treated him into unprecedented indifference. On weekdays, we all salute according to the rules, and the tonic soup and tonic medicine every night are also sent by the powerful maid, in short, if you don't meet, you won't meet, and even if you meet, you will abide by the etiquette and not take a step beyond the thunder pool.
The relationship between the two instantly returned to the state he had when he first came to Qingcheng.
Lu Jingyuan was stunned in his heart, but he couldn't say it yet, after all, it was all his reason why he was like this. In the dead of night again, I saw the maid who walked in with a medicine bowl in the courtyard, and silently added a horizontal word "Zheng" in my heart to make up the whole thing.
It's been five days, and the girl hasn't said a word to him for half a year, and that's the limit of his patience.
It's time to do something about it.
Splashing the medicinal juice in the flowers outside the window, the Xuanyi flew over, Lu Jingyuan climbed onto the roof and rushed directly to the Shen family in the west of the city.
Since the disgrace at the beginning of the competition, and even the family treasury with a hundred years of accumulation was hollowed out due to "gaffes", the entire Shen family has fallen into a miserable situation. In just one month, although it was not as luxurious as the Hu family, the weeds in the courtyard of Qingcheng grew wildly, and it was a depressed scene.
The moon shadow was heavy, the breeze was floating, and the knee-high grass swayed with the wind. Lu Jingyuan, who was dressed in a dark robe, flipped into the courtyard and ran straight to the bright place, holding a paper bag in his big hand with distinct bones.
Approaching, just as he was looking for a window to sneak into the room, he was stopped by a sound coming from the room.
"Is it arranged by the Hu family?"
"Thanks to the news from the Song family, our manpower has infiltrated the Hu family's treasury."
When he spoke again, Shen Moci's voice obviously brought out a little spirit: "The matter has not yet been completed, so don't take it lightly." ”
Shen Moci was fighting the idea of the Hu family's treasury, and he seemed to have never heard of it. His face became cold, Lu Jingyuan turned around and walked to Fangshan, moved away from the inconspicuous stone in the corner of the wall and pressed down the medicine bag specially prepared for her in his hand, and then turned around and hid in the night.
After leaving the Shen family, he did not return to the Hu family to attack the embroidery building at night as usual. It's not that he doesn't want to go back, it's not that he's afraid that he will hurt A-Yao, it's that he can't sneak in at all.
Since the girl walked out of the guest house crying five days ago, the number of people who kept vigil in the embroidery building suddenly increased, and it was impossible for him to order so many people to sleep at the same time because of his strong martial arts.
Did the girl find something......
Not only did she no longer approach him, but in turn prevented him from approaching. Realizing this, Lu Jingyuan's heart was full of regret.
People who practice martial arts are more energetic than ordinary people, and before he knew the girl, he relied on various difficult tasks to pass the time; After being reborn, he saw the girl, the original man's ambition slowly converged, and he did not lack money, so he wanted to be relatively leisurely and comfortable with the girl every day, so he used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to stay in Qingcheng.
The girl ignored him, and suddenly he tasted loneliness.
This kind of leisure made him quite uncomfortable, and he had to find something to do. After the night detective Shen family accidentally discovered Shen Moci's conspiracy, he was not angry, but had a kind of excitement of "finally having something to do".
Yun Qiqing soon came to the Hu family's warehouse where silk was stacked, and he accompanied Ayao to take care of business these days, and he also knew something about the Hu family's warehouses. It was built in the outer courtyard, but there was a secret passage connected to the girl's stepping bed was a treasury containing treasures, which had been accumulated by the Hu family for a hundred years; The rest of the place is stacked with various raw materials such as raw silk, cooked silk, and dyes; The closest place to the Jianhu Wharf is the place where the best silk used for tribute is placed.
There are too many large and small warehouses in the Hu family, and it is impossible for Shen Moci to calculate all of them with a long brain, and this is where she is most likely to move.
Although Shen Moci was already very careful when he spoke and did not leak too much information, he still aimed here for the first time.
Flying cornices and walking along the outer wall of the warehouse, he looked for a good corner with a keen eye for many years of completing difficult tasks, and in a few glances he saw a few sneaky figures at the corner where the corner door was connected.
Approaching quietly, I saw several people wearing the clothes of the Hu family carrying oil drums in their hands, and the person in front stood in front of the corner door, holding a copper lock in his hand, and stretched the thin copper wire used for hairpins into it.
"It's on!" After a long time, he finally succeeded, and the lockpicker shouted excitedly.
"Not bad."
The approved lockpicker nodded heavily, and before he could click twice, he suddenly realized that the voice was wrong. Following the prestige, I saw a young man standing beside him at some point. The handsomeness of the young man's appearance is rare in the world, but the cold temperament on his body from the inside out makes people shudder, and they don't even dare to look at his face again.
"The lock opened nicely."
Lu Jingyuan stepped forward and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. Standing on the steps and condescending, the momentum alone has already frightened these people.
Of course, the aura of the king can only be deterred for a moment. Seeing that the conspiracy was revealed, everyone put down the oil barrel and rolled up their sleeves to prepare for a big fight. Before they could move their feet, a bright gold medal lit up in front of them.
"It's ...... Dingbei Hou. ”
The moon peeked out from behind the clouds to illuminate this slightly gloomy corner, and finally someone reacted. And with this sound, the people who rolled up their sleeves instantly retreated.
"Run."
This is the Marquis of Dingbei, just because he was in danger in Hujiao Gorge, Wu Tongzhi, who covered the sky with one hand in Benzhou, was completely damaged and uprooted. Wu Tongzhi can't stop the people, how can they provoke these little shrimps.
Run, run!
The horror permeated his heart, and his stiff limbs finally regained consciousness. But as soon as they took a step, the young man behind him appeared behind them like a ghost, firmly blocking their way.
"This dress is really an eyesore." After sighing, he changed his words: "I can ignore today's affairs, but you must do something." ”
There was a strong escalation in the eyes of the lockpicker, "I don't know what Master Hou said?" ”
"Continue to finish what you have in your hands."
What the? Did they hear it right? Carrying the oil drum, the eyes of the family members welled up with strong disbelief.
"Go east, the largest silk shop in the middle of Tongque Street, I think you should be familiar with it, remember to return your clothes."
Isn't that their owner's shop? The family hesitated.
"Huh?"
A cold sound came overhead, and under the strong pressure, the family members finally couldn't resist the pressure and nodded in response.
When dawn broke, Shen Moci, who had been waiting all night in the Shen family's back house, finally received the news that the treasury was burned, but it was not the Hu family's tribute treasury, but the batch of goods that she secretly placed in the dark.
