252, noisy crowds
I even went home, and I couldn't click on the regular release in the background, so I had to manually release it early. I'll be back tomorrow, I hope you all have a good time~......
Li Gai was afraid that the woman would be more sad when she mentioned her deceased husband, and it was also a conscious reluctance to look directly at the mistakes she had made, so she concealed part of what she knew at the time
But the thought that he had taken possession of the wife of the soldier brother who had died in the battle on the border made him feel more and more guilty, and he almost drew his sword and cut himself off, even though he was already aware of the instigation of the wolf blood that had been accidentally deposited in this battle.
He had to go back to the barracks before he could learn about the personal matter, so he left the woman his name and contact place - not up to the barracks, of course.
It was only after a few months that he had time to return to the barren land to look for the woman, but when he searched through the place, all he saw was the rocky slopes that didn't even want to grow long with weeds.
He thought it was a dream, but after another six months, he sent a letter to one of the lieutenants who had been guarding the woman's address. The letter was written by the woman, and it also mentioned his children. But he only mentioned these, nothing else, not even the address, as if he was deliberately avoiding him.
Soon after, Li Gai followed Wang Chi into Beijing. She hadn't left any clues for him to find before, and then he had entered the imperial capital with an outer wall built like an iron bucket, and he didn't have time to go back to the north to look for it.
The only consolation was that although the woman did not tell him where she was, she would write a letter every once in a while, telling her about what was happening around her and telling some stories about the children growing up. From the moment he received the first letter, Li Gai solemnly asked the captain to stay in the difficult northland. Therefore, the transmission of the letter has been steady.
Some of the folk and environmental characteristics described in the letter have been accumulated over several years, and Li Gai can roughly divide the approximate location of the woman. After taking up the post of commander-in-chief of the Kyoto garrison, he had sufficient manpower in his hands, and sent a detachment of 300 people to inquire about the area inch by inch, and finally got the result.
For this matter, Li Gai didn't worry less, but he waited for a while. Fangfang disappeared, which made Li Gai's mood very complicated. When he was faced with this result a year ago, he was restless every day, and after nearly a month of such days, he gradually calmed down.
But his calmness only temporarily suppressed the matter, and when he saw Lin Shan return to Beijing, the thing in his heart that he had temporarily suppressed and forgotten stirred again.
Ligai was like a sinner. Seeing Lin Shan as a judge, he slowly recounted the past as if he were expounding his own crimes.
"Second brother, you are no longer always hanging on the beam of the house indoors as the shadow of the eldest brother, but as the commander of the Kyoto garrison, could it be that the motive is to know your identity, so that you can take that wife and children back to live, right?"
That's it. Looking at Li Gai, who was silent, Lin Shan first picked out a relaxing sentence to ease the atmosphere of the conversation between the two.
"Not exactly, but the initial motivation was."
Li Gai calmly accepted the inference in Lin Shan's words, and continued with a calm face: "The boss also wanted to help me with family affairs a few years ago. It is natural for a man to marry a wife, so the day of being a shadow must also have an end day. The palace is not as flat and vast as the northern border, and the rules are many and complicated. However, the clause has its own reason. I can't be left unscrupulous. ”
After a pause, he suddenly laughed: "Actually, I have also helped my eldest brother do a lot of things in the past few years, and I am worthy of this job."
Lin Shan smiled with him and slowly spoke: "Yes, Kyoto Huyang has become the second largest commercial capital in the country. And the prosperity is increasing, there is a tendency to surpass the first commercial capital, but the areas in the city are neatly divided and orderly, and the garrison is indispensable. ”
"There's no sincerity in your words of praise." The smile on Li Gai's face became narrow, "It's better to scold me twice." ”
"Okay then." Lin Shan smiled sarcastically, and said calmly: "With your manpower in Kyoto, you can't find her, but you came to me for help, you really scooped me up as a god?"
Li Gai's face froze, as if he had something to argue, but he didn't say anything.
Lin Shan was going to wait silently for him to say it himself, but after waiting for a while, he didn't make a sound, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, knocked on the table and said solemnly: "What you want to say must not be about finding someone, what is it that can make you embarrassed like this?"
……
Shi Yi left Dongfeng Building after washing up, and on the way to Mo Ye's house, an idea suddenly popped into his heart.
However, when he was about to see the gate of the small mansion, the idea was cancelled for the time being, for he saw a hundred or so people gathered at the gate for some reason, which made him change his mind in astonishment.
Judging by the clothes of those people, they should be ordinary residents of the city. Shi Yi looked at the gate that was about to be squeezed apart from a distance, and finally shook his head and decided not to join in the excitement, he went around to the side of the house and climbed a tree.
This tree grew next to a neighbor's house, far away from Mo Ye's house, but fortunately it was high enough, although Shi Yi standing on the branch could not jump directly into Mo Ye's house, but he could see all the things in her house.
- It was the same idea he had thought about when he was on the way here, but now he didn't really want to do what he had thought before.
Gazing intently at the courtyard, Shi Yi soon found the figure leaning against the door of the big house, but when he opened his mouth to shout, he saw another figure, which made his heart shrink.
It was a man dressed in nocturnal black in broad daylight, and he was lying on the roof of the big roof like a gecko, motionless, as if he had been transformed into a gray tile.
Shi Yi didn't notice him, but he first saw Shi Yi standing on the branch, and his sharp gaze swept towards him like a blade, so that Shi Yi noticed the slightest. When the eyes of the two really met, he took the first step to hide in a place that could not be seen from the angle where Shi Yi was standing, and he didn't know if he had left.
The black-clothed man's gaze made Shi Yi feel that something was wrong, and then a gradually spreading fear struck.
The next moment, he slid down the tree and squeezed his way through the crowd.
In the process of being squeezed by the crowd, in the noisy voices, he recognized several dialogues between Qu Xia and the visitors.
"Uncle Qu, we are here to thank Lord Lin, please help pass it on."
"Lord Lin, he has moved to a new mansion, and he has long since stopped living here, this dilapidated courtyard has been vacant for a few years, and you have come to the wrong place."
"How so? I am the owner of the cloth village, and the name and address left on this order are here."
"My son-in-law doesn't live here anymore, and he happens to be absent today, I will pass on your kindness, everyone please go back first."
"That guy Wan Defu is insatiable, the businessmen in the city don't know how much money he has stripped him of in the past few years, but it is hateful that no one has been able to administer justice, this time thanks to Lord Lin, no matter what, we have to kowtow to Lord Lin in front before we can leave."
“……”
Shi Yi was still able to drill through the crowd with the small body of a child, although he felt that the bones in his body were about to be crumpled, but in the end he finally squeezed into the courtyard.
The relaxation after the crowding made him take a big breath, but he was not in the mood to rest at this time, and he didn't have time to clean up the scattered headbands, so he ran to the backyard in the shape of a cat. As soon as he stepped into the back door, he saw Mo Ye standing behind the side of the main house gate, looking at the back of the crowd outside.
The sound of Shi Yi hurrying close didn't attract Mo Ye's attention at all, and the people outside the house were too noisy, until Shi Yi stood behind her and patted her on the shoulder, Mo Ye turned around in surprise. Startled, she was taken aback when she saw Shi Yi, whose hair was scattered, and didn't recognize his face for a while.
Before she could settle down, Shi Yi pulled her into a back room.
He opened a door with his hand, and after entering, the two of them settled down, only to find that the place where they were staying was Lin Shan's former study.
There was still a musty smell floating in the air after the books had been left for a long time, Shi Yi glanced around a few times, although his heart was entrenched in the fear left when he saw the scene on the tree just now, but in the first sentence of his mouth, he didn't show anything.
"Uncle Lin doesn't seem to have touched here much, didn't he come back yesterday?"
Mo Ye nodded, and immediately remembered what he had seen and heard in the vegetarian restaurant on the high-rise building yesterday, and listened to the noise outside the house, and his heart was in a trance.
At this moment, Shi Yi suddenly held one of her hands, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Without hesitation, Shi Yi pulled her and walked in the direction of the backyard, and at the same time said in an unquestionable tone: "Let's get out of here first."
Mo Ye couldn't help but panic a little, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xiaoyi, what happened?"
"Let's talk about getting out of here."
Shi Yi didn't say anything, pulled Mo Ye to a corner, and then flipped the bottom of the half-large water tank in the corner. Half of the rainwater accumulated in the old water tank that had not been used for a long time splashed out of the ground, splashing Shi Yi's clothes and shoes, and he didn't realize it.
Shi Yi first helped Mo Ye climb up the wall, and then he climbed over the courtyard wall and caught Mo Ye who jumped down one step later.
After both of them landed, he took Mo Ye's hand again and ran away together.
After running through two streets, they came to a bustling shopping street, both of them out of breath.
After Mo Ye took a few deep breaths, her breathing was smoother, and she looked at Shi Yi, who was constantly looking around at this time, and asked again: "Brother Xiaoyi, what's wrong?"
Shi Yi turned his head and saw Mo Ye's face full of doubts, opened his mouth and immediately closed it. After staring at Mo Ye carefully for a while, his gaze froze, and although he didn't speak, his heart was already stirring up.
