174. Missing

In the sixth year of Emperor Hui, May.

In the past few days, there has been a fast-moving news in the Hou Mansion, it is like a virus that has begun to run wildly in the Hou Mansion, and every corner may hear this topic all the time, and everyone knows it-

Chang Xi is missing.

Forty-eight hours after she disappeared, that is, two days, people were speculating whether she suddenly couldn't get the favor of the Hou Ye, so she went back to her parents' house to avoid the limelight first.

When she disappeared for three days, people began to find out that Chang Xi was a dancing girl from a brothel, where would there be a maiden family.

Five days after her disappearance, people began an after-dinner discussion, speculating whether Chang Xi had an accident.

When Chang Xi disappeared for seven days, everyone finally began to worry, and seriously doubted whether Chang Xi died somewhere, otherwise there would be no news at all.

And this discussion gradually became like the atmosphere in a horror novel, after all, a big living person disappeared inexplicably.

People are saying, should I call the police...... Oh no, it's whether you want to report to the official, but some people say, what kind of official, isn't this the residence of the imperial court?

And Liu Zhang's emotional ups and downs are not so big, if it is a waveform, then his emotions should be a straight line.

Because he's been in a state of madness.

Crazy ordered people to go out to find Chang Xi, frantically investigated all the people who had seen Chang Xi, and frantically forced me to question.

When everyone saw me, they were all asking me where Chang Xi had gone.

Of course, because I was the last eyewitness to this incident.

Seven days ago, Chang Xi told me that she was going to the market, and she said that someone from the palace had news to pass on to her, so I rolled over and yawned, not paying attention to her actions.

But she didn't come back that afternoon, and when Liu Zhang asked anxiously, I couldn't say that she sneaked out of Lu by herself, so I had to say that she had been in the house all the time, and I don't know when Lu Dao disappeared.

At that time, I was like everyone else, I just thought that Chang Xi went to the palace and nothing big would happen.

It's just that Liu Zhang is a thief, thinking that Chang Xi is really angry, afraid that she will run away from home alone and have an accident. On the night of Changxi's disappearance, Liu Zhang sent someone to fish out the lotus ponds, lakes and pools in the Hou Mansion.

But I'm not the last person to see Chang Xi, but Su Musha.

These were all things that Su Musha took the initiative to tell me, he came to ask me if Chang Xi had entered the palace, I just shook my head, and then he was obviously a little anxious and told me about the matter.

It turned out that Chang Xi went to find Su Musha before leaving the house that day, and she said: "I have thought it through, I can cooperate with you, I will tell you about the soldiers and horses in the evening, when the moon is on the eyebrows, we will meet on the garden path." ”

However, Chang Xi never came back, and Su Musha only learned about Chang Xi's disappearance the next day, and gradually began to become suspicious. He was also anxious, for the secret was a treasure to him.

So I learned from Su Musha's mouth that Chang Xi had no plans to travel far, and she had to come back in a hurry at night to deal with Su Musha's affairs. In this way, her disappearance has indeed become strange.

But if there is no reaction on my contract paper, it means that Chang Xi is still alive, so I am not worried at all, in other words, even if she dies, I am not worried, I am just afraid that her human skin will be damaged.

But I can't tell Liu Zhang this kind of reason, so Liu Zhang asks me every day about Chang Xi's details.

Before he annoyed me to death, I decided that it would be more reliable to find Chang Xi myself.

Today, like a few days ago, I am still walking with cats walking around my waist in the house, for fear of being caught by others and asking a lot of questions, and the people in the house are about to become professional paparazzi.

However, among so many paparazzi, there are still people who see me dodging like a ghost, Pu Qing.

He walked up to me thirty meters away, his eyes fell on me, and he immediately ran away, and this has been the case for several days.

I clenched my fists and chased after the Jamaican trapeze with the speed of the little flyer: "You stand for me!" ”

I kicked Pu Qing in the back with a whirlwind, and he screamed so hard that I forgot that he had a wound in the back. So he grabbed the back of his head and helped him up: "Hehehe...... Forget you've got a hurt in the ass, hey! How's it going? Show me! ”

Pu Qing's face was as ugly as shouting a piece of ginger: "You! ……”

"It's not all you who run away when you see me, am I a ghost looking for your life or what?"

Pu Qing's face turned red as if he had been splashed with paint, and he looked up, staring at me with big watery eyes, and a second ago I mistakenly thought he was discharging me.

But after three seconds, I quickly denied it, with embarrassment in his eyes, Pu Qing covered his buttocks, and said with difficulty: "It's just that I haven't figured out how to see you, I'm afraid you'll be angry because of what I said that night." ”

"Nonsense?" I raised my eyebrows: "What kind of nonsense?" Is it the sentence 'I like you' or 'I like Miss Xi like Hou Ye', eh? ”

Pu Qing's face was like a roasted sweet potato, he didn't speak, and after lowering his head for a while, his face turned pale again.

"Furui, do you think it's like Hou Ye likes Miss Xi, is it just love?"

I was a little overwhelmed by the change in him, and the questions he asked were so unartistic that they gave me goosebumps all over the floor.

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I didn't know whether I should tell the truth or lie in the face of this teenager: "You can understand it as you like." ”

"Miss Xi blocks the knife for Hou Ye, so she likes Hou Ye, and Hou Ye takes care of Miss Xi in every way, so he really loves Miss Xi."

I immediately waved my hand, I didn't understand what he was doing poetry recitation: "Stop, stop, you will be exempt from the latter sentence, what does he call liking, if you like it, you should trust her unconditionally and protect her, Liu Zhang dared to beat me on the board!" What kind of person does he like! ”

"If you like it, you will trust her unconditionally?" Pu Qing repeated my words like a fool learning to speak.

I retracted my gaze and gathered on Pu Qing's face: "Hey, I forgot to ask you, why are you trying to get on the board, you have a clearer mind now, you won't say anything about 'the body involuntarily pounces on it', right?" I'll tell you......"

As soon as I finished speaking, Pu Qing's hand quickly grabbed my waist and pulled him to his chest, although he was just a little kid who was less than twenty years old, but his height was about one meter eighty-four, and I could only stick my forehead to his heart.

His hands held me tightly in his soft chest, and the texture of the fabric was comfortable against my skin.

I couldn't tell if it was my own heartbeat or his, but I felt like the inside of my ear was pounding through my skull.

"Girl Fleur, I may really like you, and I don't know when the Dao began, obviously you have a rough personality, and you love to be showy, and you don't listen to people's persuasion, and you don't look as good as Miss Xi, but my attention is always on you...... I didn't believe that you did it this time when I hurt Mrs. Hou, and I don't know what happened to me. And when I saw you being spit blood from a big mouth, I pounced without thinking, and the young man asked me to get out of the way, but I just wanted to protect you, and I would rather be beaten than get hurt......"

I didn't move, like a living fossil.

This kid won't come really, I'm used to being chased by many people, but it's the first time I've been told love by such a young boy, and it sounds numb in my chest.

"Pu Qing, I like you too."

He lifted my shoulders and looked down at me with a puzzled expression.

I smiled helplessly: "I like your boldness, your righteousness, and your true feelings." But I don't love you, in fact, you may not believe it, I am a person who has experienced a lot, and many aspects are numb because I have seen too thoroughly. Sacrificing for her is not true love, as long as she knows how to give up and know how to cherish, it is the most beautiful love. ”

"How did you know about it?"

He asked like a child, which provoked me to laugh: "Because I have such a person I like, a person I have always loved, he has done a lot for me, he has given up a lot, tolerated me and cared for me, and even quarreled with me because he was worried about me, although we have not known each other for a long time, I have already decided that he is the other half who will accompany me for a long time." ”

He was Xiao Jie, a police chief in the Republic of China, who fought for me over a sheet music, causing the entire Harbin traffic station to be paralyzed.

A hero of the Anti-Japanese War of the Republic of China, in order to help me find my memory, gave up all the medals he had lurked.

A big boy who commits two crimes, a glamorous idol star...... He has many identities, but the only thing that remains constant is all the care he has given me, which is beyond the reach of others.

Pu Qing looked very calm in the face of my ruthless rejection, and I was still depressed about how I would face a teenager who failed to confess his first love.

But Pu Qing was just stunned, and then smiled: "That's good......"

He turned to leave, took two heavy steps, and I caught up with him and wrapped my arms around Pu Qing's waist from behind.

"Thank you, thank you......"

At that time, I didn't know how much courage Pu Qing had mustered up to say to me, and I always regarded him as a child who had not yet grown up.

You must know that when a feeling cannot grow and meanders in the deepest part of the heart, its explosive power is amazing.

So I naturally didn't expect at that time that what kind of mud and sand I would sprinkle on the chessboard in the future when I rejected Pu Qing's words, thus ruining a bright road.
