Chapter 40: Water Falls

In the first half of the night, I slept very unsteadily, and I kept dreaming of the scene of Maha eating the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman in the cave, and I only felt that my whole body was weak and cold sweat was dripping. But my chest was so tight that I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't, and I clearly heard the faint chirping of insects outside the window at night. I knew it was a nightmare, the superstitious saying is that I was pressed by a ghost and couldn't move, I experienced it once in my previous life, I was awake, but I couldn't make a sound, I couldn't move my limbs, like a soul attached to a corpse, I tried my best to get rid of this fear, but I couldn't move, and then my mother got up in the middle of the night to help me cover the quilt, and when she saw me in a cold sweat, she called me, and I immediately woke up.

Even though I had experienced this scene once and knew what the nightmare was all about, I was still a little frightened by the instinct of longing for consciousness. At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint sigh from someone beside the bed, and I couldn't help but feel creepy, after experiencing the rebirth of the soul and knowing that there was a Hades, this sigh matched my situation at this time, and I heard it in my ears, as if it was a ghost's sigh. My breath became short, and I tried to get out of the predicament of not being able to get up, the ghostly sigh seemed to stop, and then, I heard a slight noise in the room, but it was very clear in this still night, I seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and immediately opened my eyes, panting and turning my head, where was there anyone in the inner room?

After listening carefully for a while, there was no abnormal sound in the outer room. Xiaohong was asleep on the small bed at the end of the bed, and I couldn't wake her up, so I reached out and wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and secretly laughed at my suspicions, it seemed that I was still scared by Maha and left the sequelae. I closed my eyes again, but this time I quickly fell asleep and had no dreams all night.

Wake up and it's dawn. After washing, the nurse hugged Nuo'er, my baby saw me, smiled and squinted, came up to me to hug, Xiaohong hurriedly supported me, I was afraid that I would fall when I hugged Nuo'er, I lost my smile, my eyes were healed when I saw the Flame falling into the fire pool, they didn't know it. I wanted to tell her, but after thinking about it, I swallowed the words in my stomach, my eyes are inconvenient, and I have blocked a lot of troubles, especially from the palace, if I let those people know that my eyes are good, I am afraid that the things that make me avoid will follow one after another, it is better to continue to enjoy the leisure brought by half-blindness.

After having breakfast with No'er, I was going to see the old man and report to him about Maha. originally wanted to find Duan Zhiyi first, but the next person said that he went to the Sitiantai Yamen, and only then did he remember that he was now a working person and had to go to work during the day. Xiaohong said that I had an injury on my leg and was not allowed to go down to the ground, so I had to sit in Yun Zheng's wheelchair, she pushed me into the old man's yard, Yun De was walking out of it, and when he saw me sitting in a wheelchair, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but his face was silent, and he bowed: "The young lady wants to see the Hou Ye?" ”

"Is Grandpa up?" I smiled. Yunde nodded: "I'm up, I'm seeing guests." ”

"Visitors?" I was surprised, since the old man lingered on the sickbed, although many people came to visit the sick and give gifts, but the old man basically didn't see many guests, and only let An Yuanxi go to send the count, this time the guest The old man was willing to see, there must be some background. Yun De solved my doubts: "It's His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

It turned out to be him. I suddenly said, "Since grandpa is seeing a guest, I'll come back later." ”

Xiaohong pushed me out of the yard, I asked her to push me to walk around the garden, my eyes were half blind for more than a year, now it's good, it's quite fresh, unconsciously to Jinsha and Fusheng's teaching study, I saw two children slipping out of the study from a distance, I shook my head, these two children skipped class again. Signaling Xiaohong to follow quietly, I saw the two children sneaking into the stable, running to the stable where Xiaohei and Xiaobai were kept, I was a little curious about what the two children wanted to do, I motioned Xiaohong to push closer, hid behind the wall, and heard Fusheng asking: "Jinsha, can this horse really help us find Ansheng?" ”

Peaceful? I was stunned, poked my head out, listened intently, and only heard Jin Sha say affirmatively: "I must be able to." My Abba said that horses are the most spiritual and intelligent, and they are still horses. I took Ansheng's clothes and gave them to smell them, and they would definitely find Ansheng with this smell. ”

I was a little stunned, when did this horse become like a police dog? I didn't feel funny and touched in my heart, I couldn't imagine that these two children still remembered to find Ansheng. An Sheng has been missing for so long, and there is no news at all, although the Yun family has ordered the Yun family forces all over the country to help investigate, but there has been no news, which is really worrying. Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Jin Sha say: "Don't take it to Xiao Hei ......" I looked up and saw Fusheng take his clothes and put them under Xiao Hei's nose, I couldn't help but be shocked, it was too late to stop it, Xiao Hei's temper is so wild, it's strange not to be angry. Sure enough, Xiao Hei screamed violently, jumped up with a breath, opened his mouth and bit Fusheng, Jin Sha screamed in fright, saying that it was too late, it was fast, but he saw a person rushing out like lightning, pulling Fusheng away, Xiao Hei bit the man's hand, seemed to be stunned, let go of his mouth, and rubbed his head against the person uneasily.

"Brother Niu!" Jin Sha's face turned pale with fright, and she pounced on him and grabbed his right hand: "Have you ever been bitten?" ”

"It's okay, Xiao Hei didn't bite down." An Yuanxi smiled faintly and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Jin Sha held on to it, and said continuously, "Let me see." ”

An Yuanxi had to let her, I was also a little worried, seeing Jin Sha open his sleeve and expose his arm, his arm was really injured, but it was not a fresh wound bitten by Xiao Hei, but an old scar, which was a white orange peel scar left after being burned. I remember the injury, in order to help me raise money to help me solve the debt of the embroidery village, he went to help people copy books, knocked over the candlestick and burned his arm, but before the injury on his arm healed, he and I have changed from lovers to strangers. I looked at his silhouette and was a little stunned for a moment.

Jin Sha let go of An Yuanxi's hand and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's okay." An Yuanxi smiled: "It's okay to say it's okay." Xiao Hei squirted, stretched out his tongue and licked An Yuanxi's hand, Jin Sha scolded with a smile: "Fortunately, Brother Ah Niu is fine, otherwise I would really teach you a good lesson, I always bully people." Xiao Hei sprayed her disdainfully, and An Yuanxi touched Xiao Hei's head: "Xiao Hei, don't mess around!" ”

Xiao Hei shook his head, obediently turned his face, Jin Sha smiled at Fusheng: "This Xiao Hei, I am only willing to let Brother Niu touch it, no one else can get close to it, don't be so reckless next time......

Fusheng nodded again and again, and when I heard Jin Sha's words, it was as if I was struck by a bolt of lightning, and my body suddenly stiffened. The question that had been bothering me all this time, as if there was a sudden answer, I leaned weakly on the wheelchair, thinking of the bold speculation in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more shocked I became. Yesterday I was still wondering, how could Xiao Hei let Duan Zhiyi and them ride it, if ...... If An Yuanxi was the ghost-faced man, Xiao Hei would naturally not resist him. And the wound on his hand just now, the more I thought about it, the more I felt like the night I gave birth prematurely, scratching through the sleeve of the ghost-faced man, and seeing the one on his arm, although it was night, but because of the closeness, I could see it very clearly. I gasped and tried my best to deny this speculation in my heart, if An Yuanxi was a ghost-faced person, how could he suddenly have such a strong martial arts in a short period of time?

My weak performance frightened Xiaohong, and she bent down and said, "Sister, are you uncomfortable?" I came back to my senses and shook my head: "It's okay......"

"I'll send you back to the room...... Xiaohong pushed me out quickly, this commotion had already alarmed the three people in front of the stable, An Yuanxi raised his eyes and saw me, stunned. When the two children saw me, they stuck out their tongues and embarrassedly ducked behind An Yuanxi, but I laughed instead: "What are you hiding?" Afraid I'll eat you? ”

"Sister Ah Hua......" Jin Sha and Fusheng stood up with red faces, and I said angrily, "You know that you are wrong, I won't scold you anymore, why don't you go back to class soon." ”

The two children were relieved and quickly ran away holding hands. I turned my eyes to look at An Yuanxi, his face was unusually pale, there was almost no blood, how much blood had been shed yesterday? Seeing me looking at him, An Yuanxi lowered his eyelashes and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law......"

I looked at him steadily, trying to see a clue from his face, but his expression was unusually calm, and after a moment of silence, he owed: "Sister-in-law, I'll take the first step." ”

"Wait." I called him. He was stunned and raised his eyelashes to look at me. I turned to Xiaohong and said, "Xiaohong, you go back to the room first, I have something to say to my uncle." ”

"But ......" Xiaohong looked at An Yuanxi, a little hesitant. I insisted, "Go back." ”

Xiaohong pouted, glared at An Yuanxi, and left a little reluctantly. An Yuanxi lowered his eyelashes and said, "What does my sister-in-law want to say to me?" ”

I looked at him quietly, for a while, and said lightly: "I want to go to the Huxin Pavilion to sit, you push me to go." ”

An Yuanxi looked at me in surprise, but only hesitated for half a second, then walked over and grabbed the handle on the back of the wheelchair chair. The wooden wheel crushed on the ground in a dull manner, and I was silent, and he was silent, all the way without saying a word, until we came to the Lake Center Pavilion, and neither of them said anything again.

In fact, the pavilion in the center of the lake is just a wooden pavilion at the end of the lotus pond, left in the lotus pond with lush leaves, quiet and elegant, isolated from the surroundings, it is a good place to enjoy the cool in summer. I looked at the lotus pond and was silent for a long time, An Yuan waited for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Sister-in-law......"

I was silent, a little hesitant and timid, afraid to lift the curtain easily. Seeing that I was silent, An Yuanxi paused, and said, "Sister-in-law's legs...... What's wrong? ”

I laughed and said that you didn't show any surprise at why I was in a wheelchair since you appeared to me, and now you pretended not to know why I was in a wheelchair. There can be many reasons to be in a wheelchair, but how can you conclude that I have a leg problem? I turned my face and looked at him calmly: "Give me your hand." ”

"Huh?" He didn't seem to understand, and was stunned for a moment, "What? ”

The corners of my lips twitched, I looked into his eyes and repeated, "Stretch your hand out." ”
