Chapter 63: Late-Night Narrative
I saw that on the smooth and round wood, there was a line of small seals engraved, one stroke at a time, all of which could be deep into the bone, and the handwriting was flat and positive, without the slightest detour, and a sense of awe-inspiring meaning came to the face.
"There are straight trees in the mountains, but there are no straight people in the world." Tian Mi's fingers gently slid over the small lines, and there was a little deep thought in her eyes.
At that time, people often liked to engrave their motto on their beloved things, either as encouragement or as a warning.
The master of Wanyousheng should want to warn him with this sentence, hoping that he can be an upright and unyielding person.
Qiao Xuan handed the abacus back to her and said softly: "People are guilty, things are not guilty, since it is in your hands, why not waste it?" ”
Does Qiao Xuan know about today's events? Tian Mi was really surprised. She thought carefully about the personnel at the bidding banquet, and didn't find anything wrong. So Qiao Xuan's words, was it intentional or unintentional?
"Hmm." Tian Mi nodded, and after thinking about it to no avail, she simply didn't want to, and said, "Then I'll go back to the room to rest first, and you guys should rest early." ”
Tian Mi put her arms around her mother's slender and soft arm, stood up, and was supported by her mother, limping to the back room. Before entering the house, she tilted her head and looked at the roof several times, as if she had hurt her neck instead of her feet.
Tan helped her lie down on the bed, carefully covered her with the quilt, and straightened out the corners, so that she only showed a small face the size of a palm and black hair.
Tan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her daughter for a while, thinking that such a small dough had fallen from her stomach at the beginning, and it had never grown much over the years. I've been hiding behind her back, clinging to her. Lean on her. But now, it's such a petite body. But they have to shield them from so many ups and downs outside. His foot was injured, and he had a smile on his little face. Just think about it. Her heart ached terribly.
Tian Mi looked at the blank Tan family, and saw that her eyes were shining with water, so she couldn't help but ask softly with some worry: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, my mother is fine." Tan lowered his head and blinked, smiled at his daughter, and got up to fetch water.
After Tan came back from fetching water, Tian Mi tilted her head. Seeing her mother's slender fingers slicing through the basin, with circles of water lines, surrounded by light smoke, and white jade fingers, she opened her mouth and said, "Mother, I saw Yuan Hua today, it is Aunt Yang's son snake baby." He said, "His mother misses you." After we left, we went to look for you several times. ”
Tan adjusted the water temperature, washed the towels, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Carefully wiped her daughter's face and said with a smile: "To be honest, there is nothing worth missing in Yangliu Village. Only this Yuan Hua family. That's pretty good for us. If you have the opportunity, you can ask Yuan Hua to bring a message. Let's just say that my mother is also very worried about his mother. ”
"Well, I'll sue him tomorrow." Tian Mi nodded and wrote it down. After finishing washing with her mother, and watching her mother's graceful figure disappear into the dark blue curtain, she sat up, took out the newly made account book with straw paper under the pillow, and wrote down today's expenses.
After finishing her routine, she waited for another half an hour, and when she saw that the dim lights outside the curtain still did not show any signs of going out, she decided not to wait.
She picked up what she had prepared, propped herself up, groped for the wall, and carefully rubbed against the window. She stumbled open the window and clumsily crawled out.
Tian Mi climbed up to the window with difficulty, and when she hooked the ground outside with her toes, she sadly found that her legs were too short to hook no matter how hard she tried.
She can still jump up twice, but down, she already hurts her foot, this is a rhythm that is going to be invalidated.
Tian Mi was lying on the window like this, her legs hanging from one mile to another, her chest was sore from the window lattice, but she couldn't go up or down.
She frowned, opened her mouth to breathe, her tongue almost fell out because her head was hanging down, and she said in a dumb voice: "Help, life, ah." ”
The martial arts master Qiaozi, the powerful Qiao master, the omnipotent Qiao master, you must hear the little woman's inner cry!
Xu is Qiao Xuan is really so godly, just when Tian Mi felt that she couldn't hold on and was about to call her mother, her back collar tightened, her body was light, the pressure on her chest was immediately reduced, and her feet landed on the ground, safe.
"Huh......" Tian Mi slowly exhaled, grabbed the clothes in her hand, leaned on the support around her, and tried to transfer the weight, so that she was so light that she could land silently and stay away from her room.
Qiao Xuan didn't speak, he saw Tian Mi's cat-like light leap, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips. Actually, why bother?
"Hold on." He reached out his arm in front of her and whispered, "Let's talk in a different place." ”
"Oh." Tian Mi nodded, holding Qiao Xuan's arm a little ignorantly.
Qiao Xuan often wears a wide-sleeved robe, and he is free and easy in his actions, very famous and gentlemanly, and at the same time, it will also make people move him closer to the weak literati, but when Tian Mi put his arm on Qiao Xuan, he can clearly feel the strong muscles under his hands, as well as a strong pulse, which is clearly a key physique that only people who practice martial arts have.
Tian Mi was thinking, this guy's appearance is really deceptive. Suddenly, she felt empty under her feet, and her whole body fell into midair. She was horrified, and quickly bit her lip to stop the screams that would blurt out, and clinged to the person next to her with both hands.
Qiao Xuan felt the pain in his hand, and couldn't help but look down, and saw the girl leaning against him with a white face, his face changed slightly, and he flew silently on the roof of the nearest house with someone.
"Open your eyes, it's fine." Qiao Xuan patted her five fingers that were deep in her flesh and bones, and said softly: "Come, don't be afraid, be brave, I'm here, it's okay." ”
Tian Mi swallowed her saliva, trembling her long eyelashes in this light and soft voice, and slowly opened her eyes. Although she opened her eyes, she still turned her face to the back of Qiao Xuan and didn't look down there.
Qiao Xuan felt the loosening of her fingers and thought that she was better, so he explained softly: "The kitchen is the farthest away from the side room, we are talking in a whisper here, and your mother can't hear it." ”
Tian Mi has no martial arts, and in all the years she has memory, she has not had the experience of flying on the eaves and walking on the wall. So, she stepped on the tiles, heard the creaking sound, and felt only a thin layer under her feet, as if she only needed a little force. Her whole body will fall like these tiles. Fell to pieces. A sense of panic swept over her in an instant.
She clutched at the 'straw' next to her. Holding his breath, he gritted his teeth, shook his head violently, and refused to speak.
"Don't be afraid." Qiao Xuan patted her clenched fingers soothingly, his voice was soft and soothing, and he slowly persuaded: "Don't underestimate these tiles, although they are single and weak, they are better than being rough in nature and can withstand the blow." One after another, they are all together, very strong, and they are not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow, not to mention your small body. ”
Feeling her clenched fingers loosen slightly, and then clenched tighter, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
His gentle, broad palm landed on her shoulder, leading her to slowly bend her knees and sit down slowly with his own strength. Softly but firmly in her ear, he said, "Come, be brave, sit down, it's okay." ”
After sitting down. The angle of view is not so steep, and the feeling of body weight is not so strong, Tian Mi breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
She lowered her hand, only to notice that her other hand was still tugging at someone's clothes. He also pretended to retract calmly and slowly looked away. muttered softly: "You are scaring me, for the sake of you being responsible, I will not pursue your mental damages." ”
"Moral Damage Fee." Qiao Xuan took these words apart and pondered them, and probably understood what they meant, he smiled, and did not refute, only asked, "But there is something to find me?" ”
Sure enough, it was not in vain that her neck hurt when she leaned up in the hall, so Tian Mi decided not to care about the fright just now.
She steadied her hips, her body tentatively swayed from side to side twice, and after feeling the rubble holding her steadily, she put a little snack and took out the pen and paper in her sleeve.
The paper was a few pieces of straw paper she took from the pharmacy after she asked Steward Liu, and the pen was still charcoal made by herself.
"Borrow your two taels of silver, I can't pay you back for the time being, I rewrote an IOU for you, this time, we compound interest loan." Tian Mi said as she handed him the two IOUs that had been written.
Qiao Xuan took it, ignored it as always, and only wrote his name casually. As soon as his last stroke fell, he heard a "his......s" sound from beside him, he quickly looked up, and saw that under the stars and moon, the girl's little face was wrinkled, her big amber eyes were full of mist, and she looked at her little hands with a flat mouth, and inhaled in pain.
Her palms were upward, her fingers were stretched out, and on her white and tender fingers, Yin Hong's blood flowed backwards, and soon stained his palms, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands grabbed up to hold the wound, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
It was fine just now, why did it bleed all of a sudden? He instantly ruled out all possibilities, and finally lifted his eyes, and his silver eyes looked at her fixedly, not concerned or reproachful, but asked, "You bit yourself?" ”
Tian Mi didn't answer, she hooked the corners of her mouth, gave a smile, and then suddenly held his hand, broke his index finger, and after matching his index finger with her bitten finger, she took his hand, and pressed the bright red handprint on his signature one by one, and let go of him after pressing.
Although Tian Mi's movements were smooth, they couldn't talk about how fast, but Qiao Xuan didn't struggle and let her do it. It wasn't until she let go of her hand that he lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on his bright red fingers, the smile on his lips was always slightly retracted, and his dark and bright eyes also dimmed.
It's red, it's a little dazzling, I can't say what the reason is, I just don't want to see it, I don't like it.
Tian Mi didn't realize how frivolous, abrupt and unruly her behavior was, and she didn't feel the abnormality around her, she just pursed her lips disapprovingly, and returned: "Otherwise? There is no ink at home. ”
Qiao Xuan didn't speak at the first time, his face was hidden in the moon shadow, with a bit of indescribable charm in his brightness, that feeling, not gentle, nor sluggish, inexplicable, but it made people's hearts tight.
"Silly girl, she didn't say a word to herself." After a while, he raised his head, smiled soothingly, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" ”
"It hurts." Tian Mi held her fingers and sucked it, feeling that the wound was a little numb, so she put it down, held it down with the other one, and said with some smugness: "It's because of the pain, so it has to be fast, clean and neat, hesitate a little, what if you regret it?" ”
After that, she looked at him sideways, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, her big eyes contained a smile, and the corners of her lips were hooked, revealing a light pear vortex, as if to say: I'm brave, right? Awesome, right? Praise me, praise me, praise me, come and praise me.
Qiao Xuan looked at her little appearance of inviting merit, sprinkled slightly, but shook his head at her, took out Qiao Fuzi's posture, and asked in a shallow voice: "Is it a thing to be proud of being cruel to yourself?" ”
Belch...... Tian Mi's eyes rolled and she pouted, can we not discuss such a profound issue?
Thinking of this, she began to adhere to her usual style, that is, when you don't want to dwell on a problem, you only need to do two things, one is to nod and be taught, but to cooperate with monosyllables.
Seeing that the girl next to him immediately straightened up, lowered her head, her little face was stern, and she turned her ear to him, looking like she was listening to the teachings, Qiao Xuan had the idea of 'who can't do it' for the first time.
In the end, all the drafts were only reduced to a whisper that was so light that there was no weight: "In the future, remember to cherish yourself." ”
Seeing that Tian Mi immediately nodded obediently, Qiao Xuan was powerless again. Isn't it too quick and too quick to prove that the obedient person has not lived the words in his head at all?
Qiao Xuan quickly realized that it was too unwise to reason with her. So, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut, and only silently took out a porcelain vase from his cuff.
"Is this for me?" Without waiting for him to reach out and hand it over, Tian Mi took it with a smile, and after playing with it in her hand, she honestly and unceremoniously put it into her own sleeve, she shook her injured finger, and said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, let's talk about serious things first." (To be continued......)
