Chapter 60: Night on the Lotus Pond
Something in the corner? Nothing was left of the hollowed out corners.
The two searched again and again, but finally found nothing.
Could it be that Mama Jin died because of something in the corner? A thought flashed, Shen Qinrou shook her head and denied her thoughts, Mama Jin is a crazy and stupid person, what is worthy of someone trying to kill her.
The small courtyard where Mama Jin lives is too remote, and there are usually no people going by, and the night she went, no one would go there under the heavy rain overnight, so although Cao Niangzi insisted that Mama Jin was killed, no one believed her words when there was no physical evidence, except for Shen Qinrou, of course.
Although there are doubts about the cause of Mama Jin's death, Shen Qinrou has no choice, she died as a helpless old slave, and she is a powerless concubine, for many things, she is powerless, that is reality.
In the sighs of many people, Mama Jin's matter has come to an end for the time being.
On August 12, the day before returning home, after a thunderclap, the dark sky was full of electric traces.
Because of Mama Jin's matter, Shen Qinrou didn't sleep well for a few days, her sleep was already shallow, this thunder completely shattered her sleepiness, she woke up faintly, and called, "Willow Green." Because I didn't sleep well, my voice was a little hoarse.
Calling but not summoning Liu Lu, she looked around, frowned and lifted the thin quilt.
The light in the room was faint, and it seemed that it was about to go out at any moment, and she walked to the table and poured water for herself, "Hmm." She suddenly found a note pressed under the lacquer plate, "Miss, the eldest lady said that there is news of Mama Jin, I'll go and take a look, Liu Lu stays" She read out the note, it was Liu Lu's handwriting.
Sister has news of Mama Kim? Shen Qinrou frowned, impossible.
Why is she so sure, because after they went to Mama Jin's courtyard that day and came back, Shen Qinya got a cold, and she had a high fever that night, and she was weak for a few days, and she didn't get out of bed.
The flickering candles, the rain curtains hitting the windows, the shadows of the trees, and the storm and rain, the dense forest finally showed a different appearance from usual, and the violent whirlpool was born from the tranquility, which was particularly terrifying.
Shen Qinrou couldn't rest assured, put on a pair of shoes, and took an oil umbrella to the courtyard where Shen Qinya lived.
The small courtyard where Shen Qinya lives is called Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, which is famous for the lotus flowers in the pond, and the weeping willows shade in summer, and the lotus fragrance is the companion, which is chic in taste.
Sanxingju was originally a wealthy businessman built a cool retreat courtyard, in order to enjoy the coolness, the courtyard was built in a mountain forest, and for the sake of tranquility, each courtyard is separated by a long distance. When Shen Qinrou arrived at the Hexiang Courtyard, she had been half wet with raindrops swept by the wind, and the oil-paper umbrella that accompanied her obviously did not play a role, and the two umbrella bones had died in a few years, and she had died on the spot when she accompanied her to the Lotus Courtyard.
She stood the paper umbrella in front of the door, a gust of wind swept the umbrella and she didn't know where it was blown, Shen Qinrou was no better, the green silk at one end was blown away by the wind, and the clothes on her body were all wet.
The lanterns under the eaves of the lotus incense courtyard were blown back and forth, swaying non-stop.
She slammed on the door, but it was hidden, and without much effort, she pushed it straight in, and the ensuing wind blew out the lights in the outer hall.
"Anping." Shen Qinrou called out, but no one answered her, "Sister." She shouted again, but still no one greeted her, thinking of Shen Qinya's weak body due to illness, she was a little anxious, and entered the inner room in the dark.
The inner room was pitch black, the wind poured into the house through the window, Shen Qinrou walked to the position of the bed in the dark, the quilt had been lifted, the bed was empty, no one was there, Shen Qinrou frowned, where did everyone go?
She sighed, saw the wind blowing the window, went straight over to close the window, a thunder illuminated the sky, the lotus leaf under the window was crushed by something in front of her eyes, her sharp eyes found that there was a different color in the lotus pond not far from the window, it was the color of the fabric, pink and purple, this color is somewhat familiar.
Her heart bulged violently, and her forehead was covered with sweat, the fabric she had seen in Shen Qinya's closet.
"Someone." She shouted at the top of her voice, and all she could do was the earth-shattering thunder.
What to do, she clenched her fists, her nails embedded in her palms without realizing it.
The person in the pond may be her eldest sister, the current situation does not allow her to hesitate, she jumped from the window, poof, the lotus pond splashed a splash, and the person was drowned in the lotus sea.
The water in the lotus pond is not high, just up to her neck, how can the water that obviously reach her neck? She suddenly felt that she had been deceived, but the situation in front of her did not allow her to think too much, and she hurriedly walked towards the floating clothes, the lotus pond was full of mud, and every step was not easy.
At this time, she didn't care if it was a trap or not, she had to go forward, because she also found another thing through the thunder, a handkerchief, a blue handkerchief, she didn't know if it was the piece of Shu brocade that Jian Dong gave to Shen Qinya, but she didn't dare to be careless.
Finally, after a difficult "march", she reached the crushed lotus bush.
God didn't mean to take care of her, the weather was as bad as ever, the raindrops flowed down her hair to the tip of her chin and then dripped into the lotus pond, the originally fair and ruddy powder had turned white, and her lips wrinkled into goosebumps.
She reached out and grabbed it, and there was actually a person under the pink and purple clothes!
She turned the person over with all her strength, wiped the rain from her face, and her pupils shrank sharply.
It's her sister, "Hey." She called people, Shen Qinya did not respond, a mouthful of fishy lotus pond water and rain poured into her open mouth, she didn't care about disgust, and hurriedly grabbed people and brought them to the shore.
She didn't reach out to Shen Qinya's nose, she didn't dare, she was afraid!
Her heart was flustered, and her feet trembled a little, but she put her strength under Shen Qinya's armpit, and looked at the shore, it's fast, it's fast, it's a few steps away.
At this time, the shore was not far from them, just a few steps, a few more steps, since she was almost to the shore, she still didn't dare to loosen her heart, she couldn't think about what to do if Shen Qinya died here today.
She suddenly thought of the dead Mama Jin, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
Two more steps to get there, suddenly something above, she looked up and didn't hurry to see clearly, she was hit on the head by a bamboo pole.
After some tossing, she was already exhausted, this pole fell, it was tantamount to the last straw that crushed the camel, she was dizzy, she blinked, the raindrops blurred her eyes, there was a woman in green standing on the shore, why is she a woman, she saw the reflection of the pearl hairpin, and the last thought, she finally closed her eyes heavily, and sank into the lotus pond with Shen Qinya.
A mouthful of fishy water poured into her mouth and nose, and the falling rain also brought some natural heat, this scene seemed to be very familiar, it seemed to have happened somewhere, and she had lost consciousness before she had time to think about it.
Thunder lit up the forest, and several black shadows shuttled back and forth in the forest.
"Chase, don't let him run." The young man in the dark robe was hidden in the forest, the rain sliding across his resolute face, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Several figures flew in the forest, his eyes narrowed slightly, he lifted his breath, tiptoed a little, and shuttled back and forth between the trees with his strength, "Who else?" Come out quickly. ”
"And someone." He frowned slightly, and his figure disappeared into the forest as soon as he moved.
A few figures quickly turned back, "Lost with me." They stood in shame.
The young man snorted coldly, "There is a courtyard ahead, you can go with me to take a look." He nodded.
The man followed his steps and flew quickly to the courtyard in front of them, the two-foot high courtyard wall was like a pedal under their feet, and it did not cause them the slightest trouble, and the two of them entered the courtyard in an instant.
The two of them hid in the dark curtain, and the man's eyes moved, and he said sideways: "There is a figure flashing in front of you." ”
The boy's eyes narrowed slightly.
If Shen Qinrou saw the young man at this moment, she should be able to recognize it, this is the young man she had seen hiding in a tall tree in Wen Yu's mansion.
The two soon arrived at the lotus pond, and there were people in the pond! Han swept his eyes, and the person beside him asked, "You want to save people." "There are tiny bubbles on the surface of the pond, and people should still be alive.
General Han raised his hand to stop his movements, "We are going out on a mission, don't get involved in other people's houses." ”
The man nodded, returned to his side, and the two of them disappeared in front of the lotus pond on tiptoe.
