Xue Rui waited outside the gate of Baichuan Academy for a morning, and among the children who came and went to school, he didn't see Yu Xiaoxiu's people.

The bell rang in the school, Xue Rui didn't want to go in halfway to disturb him, so he continued to wait outside, and when he got out of class at noon, he went to find someone in the courtyard, and he didn't think about it again.

"Yu Xiaoxiu? He didn't come to class today. ”

"Didn't come? Is it a leave of absence? ”

"No, that child has always been very well-behaved, but today he was absent without a greeting, I don't know if he is sick or there is something at home."

Xue Rui was puzzled in his heart, thanked the master of the academy, and went out to get into the carriage, always feeling that something was a coincidence, something was wrong.

If you can't find Yu Xiaoxiu, you can't find Yu Shu, but Xue Rui didn't give up, if he wants to put it in normal times, he will go to Baichuan Academy again tomorrow, but at the moment, in the Dayan examination, it is a time to save a while, if it is empty tomorrow, wouldn't it be another wasted day, and there are still three days to hand in the papers, and the time is quite urgent.

But where to find her?

Halfway through the carriage, Xue Rui suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked the coachman to turn the head of the carriage and ordered: "Go to the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce in the south of the city." ”

If he remembers correctly, the last time he had a casual conversation with the master of Taehyung, the other party mentioned that he had promoted a general manager from Yiyang to the capital to do things, and that person happened to be Pei Jing, whom he had a relationship with.

Maybe this Pei Jing has already come to the capital, and Yu Shu will suddenly move, maybe it has something to do with him.

Xue Rui had an idea, turned around and went to the main hall of the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce in the south of the city, found the identity of the steward, and after a little inquiry, he heard about Pei Jing's entry into Beijing, and inquired about which annex Pei Jing was working in now, and got into the carriage again.

Jingchen didn't come back.

Yu Shu ran home from the street, hoping to be lucky, but the result was disappointed.

Zhao Hui was worried about the children, they had no appetite for lunch, and several people in the courtyard were called out to find someone, only the cook and the maid were still there, Yu Xiaoxiu came back from outside first, and was pulled by her to the stove to warm her hands, seeing that the child's face was frozen and pale, and she was distressed, and then Yu Shu walked in, her lips turned blue and purple, and immediately asked the maid to hug a quilt, wrap the person, and hurriedly called the kitchen to bring ginger soup.

Holding Yu Shubing's two hands, he felt that the child was faintly trembling and almost shed tears, and then looked at her lost soul, thinking of He Fangzhi's guess, and knew the truth in his heart, this child, I am afraid that he really has a heart for that Jingchen.

"What is this for, Jing Shaoxia is such a big person, can he still lose it, maybe he will come back after going out for a walk, why bother to go out of the cold and find it this day." Zhao Hui persuaded Yu Shu, afraid that she would be dead and would run out of the city later.

Yu Shu didn't squeak, looking at the stove at her feet, the sparks dancing brightly, just like her heart, burning panicked.

She didn't listen to what Zhao Hui said, she sat quietly for a long time, drank the ginger soup that the maid brought to her, and when her body warmed up, her throat was not so dry and dumb, she stood up and whispered to Zhao Hui:

"I'll go out and look for it again."

Zhao Hui grabbed her and said hurriedly: "Do you have to get sick?" If people really leave, can you find it? ”

Yu Shu's body stiffened, turned his head, pushed away Zhao Hui's hand, and said astringently:

"If I don't look for it, he won't come back."

She thought about it for a morning, and couldn't figure it out, why Jingchen left quietly, and didn't even say hello, she didn't believe that these days, he would not be reluctant to her at all, thinking about it, probably he was afraid that he would not be able to leave if he saw her.

She doesn't. Zhilu said where he was going and where he would go, but she had a hunch that if she left him alone, he might have another accident.

Regardless of Zhao Hui's obstruction, Yu Shu went back to the room to add a cotton coat, put on a cotton hat, and went out again, Yu Xiaoxiu wanted to follow her, but was scolded by Zhao Hui, so he could only stay in the house with his ears down.

Today is also surprisingly cold, the water splashed outside the door in the morning has become frozen, and the breath is a white fog, Yu Shu changed the road, inquired along the way, this time went further, directly from the east of the city to the south of the city, and also went to Huixing Street.

Unconsciously, it is dusk again, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and in this winter, those who do business have to close their stalls early and go home to pick up their wives and children.

Yu Shu walked half of the south of the city, blisters appeared on his feet, and he had to go back when he saw that it was getting dark

It was getting dark, and the pedestrians on the street were hurrying to and fro, all rushing home, and she was the only one, walking slowly.

If she still had a glimmer of hope before, Jingchen just regained her memory, and she couldn't accept it for a while, and she would come back if she went for a walk, then after she didn't see any trace of him for a day, it became clearer in her heart that he was really gone.

This couldn't help but remind her of the last parting, in the alley of Yiyang City, he came to say goodbye to her, calmly told her the reason for his departure, let her stay, or insisted on leaving.

At the beginning, she could wave goodbye and send her off with a smile, but to this day, it is difficult for her to let go, but this time he left, but he didn't even say goodbye.

The wind blew past her ears, Yu Shu's eyes were a little dry, she looked down at the road, her hands and feet were frozen and unconscious.

Suddenly, a little coldness fell from the tip of her nose, and she looked up to see a little bit of white silver light scattered in the gray and blue sky.

It's snowing.

One by two, they fell on her forehead and dissolved, and she lowered her head, dizzy for a moment, wrapped her clothes tightly, and continued on her way.

It was the first snow of winter, and it was falling heavily in an instant, and it was spread on the ground, and the road under her feet gradually turned white.

She was in a mess in her head, she was a little dazed by the cold, and suddenly heard someone shouting her name, raised her head, her eyelashes were covered by snow, blinked, and vaguely saw that in the snow not far in front of her, there was a white figure standing, holding an umbrella, striding towards her in the white snow, and the snow was trampled on the "crunch".

She was overjoyed, shouted "Jingchen", and rushed towards the man, but before she could run a few steps, her head was heavy, and she fell to the ground forward, and then her eyes were black, and she lost consciousness.

"Ashu!"

Seeing Yu Shu fall, Xue Rui was startled, hurriedly ran forward, lost the umbrella, squatted to help the person up, leaned on his arms to take a look, and saw that she had a blue face, purple lips, and a layer of snowflakes on her eyebrows and eyes, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, as if she had fainted.

"Ashu, Ashu?" Xue Rui shook her, a little panicked, reached out and touched her forehead, it was scary, and immediately ripped off the velvet cloak on his shoulders, wrapped her, hugged her, turned around and ran to Zhao Hui's house, not caring about being recognized by Zhao Hui, and broke into the door.

Yu Shu didn't come back in the evening, Zhao Hui was worried, regretting that he didn't force him, Yu Xiaoxiu and He Fangzhi went out to find someone together, she waited in the front hall and waited, listening to someone outside the courtyard shouting for the door, a string of footsteps, and the door curtain was opened from the outside.

"Yikes!" At first glance, a strange man came in, and the little girl Kidney Bean screamed.

Zhao Hui was sharper than her, and when she saw Yu Shu in the man's arms, she hurriedly got up and stepped forward, "What's the matter, Xiao Yu!" ”

She looked up again and saw Xue Rui, under the light, a face was familiar, only a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "You, you-Cao shopkeeper?" ”

Xue Rui nodded hastily, didn't care to explain more to her, and urged in a deep voice: "She's freezing faint, go and boil a bucket of hot water, and cook a bowl of spicy soup, where is the bedroom?" ”

Zhao Hui hurriedly summoned the maid to boil the water, and led Xue Rui to Yu Shu's bedroom.

Xue Rui put the person on the bed, and together with Zhao Hui, he took off the damp cotton jacket outside Yu Shu, covered the two quilts on her, covered the person tightly, and turned his head to find the fire in the house, moved to the bed, set fire to charcoal, and made a series of actions without stopping.

The maid came in with hot water, Zhao Hui was in a hurry, almost knocked over the basin, Xue Rui was calm, he was not too hot, his whole hand was soaked in hot water and wrung out the hand towel, wiped Yu Shu's face clean, and then waited for the cook to bring ready-made spicy ginger water, pinched Yu Shu's cheeks, broke her mouth, and poured her half a bowl.

"Ahem," Yu Shu was half unconscious, and shouted "Jingchen" in a daze, Xue Rui's eyes were cold, but he didn't hear it, his thumb wiped the water stains that overflowed from the corner of her mouth, put the bowl down, covered her with the quilt, turned her head, and asked Zhao Hui.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Hui is the master of the six gods at the moment, and he can't think much about what "Cao Zixin" will suddenly appear for, and while looking at Yu Shu on the bed, he replied absentmindedly:

"Jing Shaoxia is gone, and Xiao Yu went out to look for it all day."

After answering, I thought that Cao Zixin didn't know who Lu Dao Jingchen was, and was about to explain, so I heard him ask:

"Jingchen?"

Zhao Hui was stunned, "Do you recognize Jing Shaoxia?" ”

Xue Rui nodded, his face was not good-looking, "I recognize, I've seen him a few times before, what do you mean when you say he's gone?" ”

As soon as Zhao Hui heard this, she knew that Yu Shu had met Cao Zixin before, because she had been a neighbor in Yiyang for a few months, and knew Cao Zixin's character, although she was puzzled, she didn't hide much, and replied:

"Jing Shaoxia used to live in the west yard, and when he got up this morning, he suddenly disappeared, Xiaoyu was worried that something would happen to him, so he went out to look for it all day, and I didn't listen to how I persuaded her, alas

Xue Rui is such a shrewd person, as soon as he heard this, he sniffed out that something was wrong, and in a few words, he found out from Zhao Hui's mouth that Jingchen had lost his memory before.

This understands why he lived in Yu Shu's house for a long time and was not allowed to leave, which is the case.

Knowing this layer, Xue Rui looked back at Yu Shu, who was groggy and pale-faced on the bed, feeling distressed, but also depressed, he didn't know when this girl became a bad person.

Why is there no heart for him?

suddenly remembered what she said when she rejected him on the night he left, and the sentence "the person he liked" made him haunted, and he only thought it was a pretext at first, but now it seems that it is true

Xue Rui pursed the corners of his lips in displeasure, and his mood was indescribably complicated. Clear
