The night breeze is quiet, bringing a rare touch of coolness to the hot summer day.

There is a small lantern hanging in the gazebo in the courtyard of the back house, and Zhu Manzhi lies on the bamboo mat with his head pillowed, his eyelashes tremble slightly in his sleep, and his cheeks are a little smiling.

Ning Yuhe sat on the futon next to him, holding a branch in his hand, closing his eyes and listening to the surrounding movements.

Buzz ~~~~

Smack—

The branches swept through the air, and the annoying mosquitoes immediately split apart.

Ning Yuhe slowly put away the branches and continued to wait for the next mosquito.

The life in the courtyard of the deep house is so boring, but this boredom is already a fairy-like day for the people who work day and night in the market and countryside, or the people in the rivers and lakes who lick the blood from the knife all the time.

Ning Yuhe waited for a while, there was no movement of mosquitoes around, opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at the main house of the black hole.

Xu Buling has already gone out once, and now he must be ...... with the Queen Mother

Even though Ning Yuhe has become a monk and a Taoist aunt, thinking of the current appearance of his apprentice and the high-ranking queen mother, his face is still red, and he feels very twisted, a little bit of a tiger feeling.

However, Ling'er is a true gentleman, and she is definitely not the beauty of the coveted queen mother, if she is not forced to do such a deviant thing......

Ning Yuhe took a breath lightly, dispelled those thoughts of having a bad Dao intention, pondered for a while, and remembered the last time he encountered an ambush.

That leap of sacrificing oneself still echoes in my mind.

Even if Ning Yuhe doesn't want to admit it, she has to say that she is really moved, if she doesn't become a monk, if she doesn't accept her as an apprentice, I'm afraid she will really fall in love with that man from now on, strong in martial arts, peerless, gentle and elegant, chivalrous, why doesn't she like it.

Now I can only say that it's a pity, I was born before I was born, I am old when you were born, and I can't complain about anyone if I am not born at the right time. It's good to be a master and apprentice now, at least they're still the closest people to each other.

But......

Ning Yuhe frowned lightly and looked at Xu Buling's room, a little entangled.

Last time, when I was in a hurry, I bandaged Xu Buling with my belly pocket, but I was interrupted afterwards and forgot to take it back, and after I reacted, I was embarrassed to ask for it again.

She has been carefully observing in the past few days, but she didn't find that Xu Buling lost her belly pocket, nor did she see Xu Buling return her belly pocket.

Maybe Ling'er is embarrassed too......

Ning Yuhe can only think like this, the belly pocket can't always be put in the apprentice's hand, but how can he get it back...... Is Ling'er waiting for me to take it back secretly......

Thinking of this, Ning Yuhe felt that it was very possible, it was difficult for both parties to speak, she secretly took it back, and Xu Buling understood it after discovering it, and they tacitly understood each other.

As for running into other people's rooms without saying hello, this is nothing, Manzhi cleans with a broom every day, and Ling'er's house is also cleaned, and Ling'er doesn't say Manzhi, and she's quite happy......

Ning Yuhe didn't go to steal things, so he naturally had a clear conscience, and after thinking about it for a while, he took a chicken feather blanket from the corner of the courtyard and walked into Xu Buling's bedroom.

Xu Buling's bedroom furnishings are very simple, except for the necessary furniture, only the clothes in the cabinet are left, which are all sewn by Aunt Lu herself.

Ning Yuhe took the chicken feather blanket and cleaned around, and after looking around a little, there was a large pile of various rouge gouaches in the cabinet, and there was no trace of the belly pocket.

Seeing a lot of rouge gouache, Ning Yuhe is not surprised, she often sees Xu Buling giving Mrs. Lu and full of rouge gouache, and also gave her, it is just a small gift, nothing to care about.

The bedroom was not found, so Ning Yuhe came to the study next door, the study was more simply furnished, with two weapon racks and a desk, which was clear at a glance.

Ning Yuhe looked back and forth, and there was a rag doll leaning on the pen holder on the desk, and there was nothing else.

"Huh~?"

Ning Yuhe was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that it should be placed in a place where she can easily find it, how can it be hidden and not found, and she didn't see Ling'er throw it away, could it be that she secretly threw it away or brought it with her?

Thinking of this, Ning Yuhe's gentle cheeks turned red, and she secretly took a sip, thinking: How is it possible, Ling'er is doing it with her belly pocket, and it is not suitable to be a handkerchief......

After cleaning aimlessly a few times, Ning Yuhe thought about it, and suddenly remembered that Zhu Manzhi was still at home, could it be that he was afraid that Manzhi would see a misunderstanding?

Manzhi's martial arts are very poor, and I don't want her to see it, so ......

Ning Yuhe raised his eyes and looked at the beams of the house, the beams were about two feet high, and the full branches were definitely out of reach, and there was nowhere to rely on the ladder.

Sa –

The sound of the robe breaking through the wind sounded.

Ning Yuhe stepped on the wall to relay, his body was as light as the wind, and he grabbed the beam with one hand and looked up.

Sure enough!

There is a wooden box on the beam, and the shape is to put jade pendants, hostas and other objects, which are not very large, and there is no dust on them, so it should have been moved recently.

Ning Yuhe picked up the box and fell back to the ground, walked to the desk and opened it, but saw that the box contained a lot of things - a hosta, a safe and sound card she sent, a note, a rice paper, and ...... A few pieces of colorful fabric?

Ning Yuhe was a little inexplicable, and always felt that a few pieces of fabric stacked together were very familiar, like a woman's belly pocket.

！

Ning Yu's eyes showed a strange look, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she hesitated a little, and picked up the small note first:

'Xu Gongzi, I left in a hurry, I forgot to tell you one thing, if the antidote is useful, you owe Zhong Chu Chu a life, remember to thank her in the future.

It's a pity that these wines are thrown away, cheap for you.

Finally, I wish Manzhi is my confidant, if you dare to bully her, you and I will not die.

Farewell. ’

Ning Qingye's handwriting.

Ning Yuhe blinked, in these few words, Qingye seemed to be very angry, as if he was going to break off his friendship with Ling'er, what happened between them?

After a moment of silence, Ning Yuhe put down the note, picked up a piece of fabric, and opened it to see that it was a white handkerchief.

Ning Yuhe quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately found that there were a few plum blossoms on the white handkerchief, which seemed to be bloodstains.

！！

Ning Yuhe suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly threw the handkerchief into the box, his breathing fluctuated, and his face turned red.

You don't have to think about it to know what this is, it must be the Queen Mother's......

After a moment's pause, Ning Yuhe pursed his lips, picked up another piece of cloth and looked at it—two golden carps.

"Lotus Tibetan Carp ......"

Seeing Fang Cai's handkerchief, and then seeing this belly pocket, Ning Yuhe was not surprised, and after looking at it a few times, he put it down and picked up another one-still a belly pocket, but it was embroidered with peony flowers.

Ning Yuhe frowned lightly and thought about it carefully, as if he had seen a similar ...... in Mrs. Lu

！！！

Ning Yuhe's eyes were full of astonishment, a little unbelievable!

Ling'er and Mrs. Lu also ......

However, after being shocked for a moment, Ning Yuhe frowned slightly - she could actually see from Mrs. Lu's words and demeanor that Mrs. Lu liked Ling'er, and Ling'er was even more attentive to Mrs. Lu. There is not much difference in age between the two, and they are not related by blood, but they just verbally call 'aunt'. In fact, if you really want to remarry, it can be regarded as a good thing for everyone, and it shouldn't be strange......

Taking a slight breath, Ning Yuhe picked up the last piece of small cloth, and prayed in her heart countless times to 'don't ......, don't ', but the cruel reality still shattered her dream.

Looking at the lotus pattern on the white belly pocket, Ning Yuhe's eyes could no longer be suppressed, revealing indescribable disappointment and pain. Xu Buling's image of a righteous gentleman shattered in his mind in an instant.

Ning Yuhe was short of breath, pinching his belly pocket, frantically looking for an excuse, even if it was far-fetched......

It's hard to return it to her, and there is nowhere to put it, so I put it with the beloved woman's belongings......

Isn't the Nothing sign also here, just a place to store your personal belongings......

Yes, yes, yes, for sure......

Ning Yuhe pursed his lips, relaxed a little, put down his belly pocket, and moved his gaze to the last piece of rice paper.

“……”

There was a long silence in the house, and finally the sound of paper unfolding was heard.

After that, there was a complete silence, and it seemed that he couldn't even breathe......
