Chapter 24: The Sail (18)

She walked slowly. In the vast courtyard, there are too many of her footprints to count......

Tao Xiang was still standing outside the door, but there were a few more people around him.

She could vaguely tell who those people were, and she knew in her heart that they were talking about something important at this time. She slowed down. When she stepped out of the courtyard, he was the only one standing there.

"My bags are packed. Zhang's mother knew which ones they were. Please have someone bring it to me. Jingyi whispered.

Tao Xiang opened the car door for her. When she got into the car, he told the driver to go to the seventh, and he didn't wait for Jingyi to agree, so he ordered to drive the car.

Jingyi is already tired.

Tao Xiang would never live with her again no matter what, and she was not worried about this. And wherever she was placed, it was only temporary. Tao Xiang must have made arrangements to send her out of here as soon as possible... Da...

Sentry posts flew outside the car window, and the streets were silent at night. Beyond the silence, it was not difficult for her to imagine what it would be like.

She closed her eyes in confusion, leaned against the car door, and couldn't even open her eyes to look at Tao Xiang again.

Tao Xiang sent Jingyi into the seventh.

When she got out of the car, he sat in the car and didn't move.

None of them spoke.

Jingyi took two steps and realized that the car did not drive away immediately.

Steward Cong brought someone to pick her up. Maybe Tao Xiang had explained in advance, but Cong Dongsheng didn't say much.

When Jingyi turned to enter, she heard the sound of a car.

She didn't stop any longer, but walked in at a faster pace.

She wanted to ...... For a moment, he seemed to be waiting for something. But he didn't wait...... It's like she sometimes waits, waiting for a miracle to happen - but a miracle is a miracle because it's rarer than just in case. Especially between the two of them.

Tao Xiang finally left.

Jingyi asked the maid to extinguish all the waitings in the house. She curled up under the quilt and wrapped herself tightly. Only in this way can she resist the intense pain of ants gnawing all over her body...... And she knew it was just getting started. In the days to come, the pain of bone erosion like this will follow her closely, from night to dawn.

The next morning, Jingyi woke up to the sound of birdsong. She lay on the bed and listened for a long time. Her bedroom was quiet, but there was a large cage in the yard, in which many rare birds were keptβ€”she had been at home for the past two days, and it was deserted, except for the two or three maidens who had come to disturb her, and the sound of these birds was the only movement in the yard.

The thick bed curtain hung down, and when the faint light came in, she got out of bed in her clothes, opened her pocket watch and looked at the time.

She made some noise, and there was a rustling sound outside, and soon there was a knock on the door.

She opened the window to breathe, and the fresh air of the early morning came to her face, and the birdsong became louder, and gradually became noisy. She looked at the birdcage, which was mostly covered by bare flowers and trees, and could vaguely see birds bouncing around...... She had been here for two days, and although she had been comfortably cared for, she suddenly felt like a bird in a cage.

"Miss, stay away from that window, take care of the cold." There was a soft voice behind him, very familiar.

Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, and when she looked back, it was Qiu Wei.

Qiu Wei, who was already wearing a wide cotton robe, was behind her. Qiu Wei's face was a little swollen, I don't know if it was because she cried and didn't sleep well, and her eyes were a little sad when she looked at her.

"Why are you here?" Jingyi came over and shook Qiu Wei's hand.

Qiu Wei lowered her head and said, "I...... I begged my uncle to let me see the young lady. Miss, can I come with Miss? I don't feel at ease when Miss is like this. ”

Jingyi raised her hand and touched Qiu Wei's face and asked, "If you go with me, what will Artu do?" Are you willing to give up Atu? ”

Qiu Wei nodded.

"Foolish girl. Have I told you all in vain? Let you live a good life with Atul, and leave me alone. I'm fine no matter what. It's a joke that you want to worry about me. Jing Yi said, pinching the tip of Qiu Wei's nose. Something flickered in her eyes, "Besides, if you stay, you can still go and see Nan Nan from time to time." Even if it can't be seen all the time, it's always easier to get her letters...... Isn't it? ”

It's good that Jingyi didn't say that, but when she said this, Qiu Wei almost cried immediately.

She endured it again and again, and finally nodded her head in agreement, saying, "Miss, where are you going next?" ”

Jingyi said: "Go back to Beiping first." ”

Tao Xiang sent someone to set the itinerary, but he didn't tell her when to leave. She thought about the chaos outside for the past two days, and she didn't touch the newspapers or the radio. But Qiu Wei can come, presumably the situation outside is not necessarily bad.

Qiu Wei looked at her and said softly: "Yesterday was still under martial law, and it was inconvenient to move, so I couldn't do it in a hurry." After a night, when I woke up today, I heard the neighbors going out to buy groceries, and I knew that it was settled outside. Sure enough, in addition to the checkpoints along the way, there were no more people smashing and looting on the street as a few days ago. On weekdays, there are a lot of good people, and whenever something happens, they become demons...... I heard that some people were arrested, and there were all kinds of people who started the incident, and there were also dramas. It's still my uncle who made a decision and acted decisively, such a chaotic situation, but overnight ......"

Qiu Wei said, watching Jing Yi's reaction.

Jingyi listened and walked to the basin stand, the girl came in and sent the washing water, and Qiu Wei came over and waited for Jingyi to wash her face. Jingyi didn't use her, she cleaned her face carefully, and listened to Qiu Wei talk about the things outside the past two days, which was thrilling...... She took a soft-bristled brush and dipped it in tooth powder, brushed it twice, and suddenly turned around and went inside.

Qiu Wei was talking, and she was stunned for a moment to catch up. Behind the curtain, Jing Yi was still holding a soft-bristled brush in her hand, beating her chest with a pale face. Qiu Wei was stunned, "Miss......"

"It's a little uncomfortable." Jingyi smiled at her casually.

Qiu Wei was about to ask something, but she couldn't ask, watching Jingyi walk in front of her, went out and asked the girl to change the basin of water and wash her hands. She stood quietly beside her young lady, and when she was washed, she came over to comb her hair. Jingyi's hair is not long now, Qiu Wei loosely tied her in a bun, and pinned the hosta with gardenia flowers as usual.

Jing Yi shook Qiu Wei's hand and rested it on her shoulder.

In the diamond mirror is the delicate faces of the two of them.

"Say hello to the young grandmother. Young grandmother, the brigade commander is here. "Outside Cong Dongsheng reported.

Qiu Wei's hand trembled, Jing Yi patted her hand and stood up.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

2 a in the evening. And then the chapter ends, and then it's ...... You get the idea.
