Sixty-seven, Yasi Dufu - people in the backyard (II)
This house is divided into three entrances, the front one is the main hall, the middle one is the garden wing, and the second one is the guest room, and the back yard is separated by a door from the front two courtyards, as if it is divided into two worlds.
The people outside the door don't know what the inside of the door looks like, and the people inside the door don't know the outside world, although the two worlds are only separated by a door, but it is like an insurmountable moat.
The "creak" is different from the smoothness of the door of the house, this door has obviously been corrupted by time, and the traces of time are like knives and axes, deeply imprinted in the rusty and mottled door shaft.
The door of the backyard was pushed open by Ah Li, although it was very deserted, but it was very clean, what should have been an overgrown courtyard was now nothing, except for the lonely house standing there, there was nothing else.
The house was facing the gate, and it was not big, but it was big enough for one person.
The gate is only a dozen steps away from the house, and some messy cobblestones are sprinkled along the way, which is considered a corridor leading to the hut.
The cleanliness of the backyard was beyond Comber's expectations, although he hadn't come to see Qi Xuan a few times in the past month, but he remembered that the back yard of this mansion should not be like this.
There should be a tree there, a stone table there, a stone bench, and a there
Everything seems to be different here.
"Where's the stuff here?" Comber asked, tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"It was all Qi Xuan who asked someone to move it, but Qi Xuan cut down the tree himself, the student originally stopped it, but he didn't let him do it, so he hit the wall everywhere like crazy, and then bit people, so the student had to let him"
Ah Li's voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and she seemed to know that she should have done something wrong, but the situation at that time, if she didn't do it, Qi Xuan's life would be in jeopardy, and she would not be able to explain to the teacher at that time.
Comber let out a breath and then muttered to himself, "Hehe, I don't know if he's really crazy or pretending." ”
"In the past few days, Aunt Chen has come to give him an acupuncture during the day, but he is not too crazy, even if he doesn't have an acupuncture, at night, Qi Xuan will stop, at this time it is no different from ordinary people."
Comber knew this, and it was precisely because of this that he asked Wang Xichen to come over and treat him with acupuncture.
The backyard was dark, but there was a little light from the hut, which was dim but extra glaring.
"Push the door open." Comber instructed Ah Li on the side.
Ah Li pushed the door of the lonely hut open, and the room was very simple, a table leaning against the window, a chair next to the table, and on the other side of the table was the foot of the bed, and the bed was made so cleanly as if no one had ever slept before. At the head of the bed stands a shelf, on which a few pieces of clothing are hung haphazardly.
There was a man in the room sitting on a chair, leaning against the table, although there were a few books on the table, but he had not been seen flipping, and there was also paper, ink, pen and inkstone on the table, but he had not been seen writing, the man just sat there in a daze, but he did not know where he was looking, and there was an oil lamp lit in front of the man, and the flickering dim light became swaying between the man's breath and breath.
The door slammed, as if alarming the man sitting there.
The man turned his head and looked at the two men who pushed the door in, as if there was no surprise, or rather that he had no expression, the wooden face only paused slightly, then returned to normal, and then slowly turned back.
For that person's situation, Ah Li naturally knows the best, since a month ago, his two senior brothers were punished to go to the quiet room to think, Ah Li can be regarded as the closest person to the person in front of him.
Although Wang Xichen will also come to treat him with acupuncture at this stage, he will only stay here for a while and then leave, and it is not too much intersection with him.
"Ever since he came here, that's how it has been, during the day he was crazy and noisy to remove grass and cut trees, tossing for a day, and when he was done, he was in a daze with the oil lamp, and he didn't see him go to bed, and when he was sleepy, he lay down on the table, and when he first came, he tried to turn off the lights for him, but as soon as the oil lamp went out, he changed his appearance, crazy
Yes, yelling there, and smashing around, casually then he went, and it didn't hurt anyway. ”
What Ah Li said, Comber had also understood before, so there was not too much strangeness, so he said to the man who was in a daze there, "Master Qi, I came to see you." ”
This sentence seemed to have been knocked in Qi Xuan's mind, which suddenly made him look stunned, and then seemed to recall something, and his originally cloudy eyes gradually became clear, although his face was still haggard, but there was a little less sense of decadence.
Qi Xuan stared at Comber, as if searching in his mind for memories related to the person in front of him.
"Yang Kang, you are Yang Kang, the big butler of the Liang Palace." Qi Xuan pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke.
Qi Xuan has been in Kyoto Mansion for more than ten years, although he has a subordinate relationship with Liang Wang Chu Boyu, but it is also a relationship that is irreversible, whether it is public or private, Liang Wangfu is also a place that often comes and goes, although Qi Xuan left Kyoto Mansion eight years ago, and he has not seen Liang Wang Chu Boyu, but for the people inside, he naturally has some impressions.
The moment he saw Yang Kang, Qi Xuan's eyes flashed with all kinds of things before, the Yang Kang, the chief housekeeper of the Liang Palace, who was always behind Chu Boyu, loyal to King Liang, and trustworthy, was the mastermind behind the destruction of his own family and the imprisonment of himself here.
He still remembered the expression of shock when he saw Yang Kang appear in that dark dungeon, the two had not seen each other for eight years at that time, but this meeting was not the joy of reuniting, nor the joy of meeting acquaintances, some were just shocked with a face that could not be concealed, and what shocked Qi Xuan even more was the masked man who followed Yang Kang.
Qi Xuan didn't know the true identity of the man wearing the mask, but from Yang Kang's respectful attitude towards him, Qi Xuan had a guess about the identity of that person. After all, in Qi Xuan's cognition, it seems that there is only one person who can make this Liang Wang's Mansion housekeeper so respectful.
If it was more than a month ago, when Qi Xuan saw Yang Kang, he would naturally rush forward without hesitation and fight with him, not to mention the big incident of family destruction and death, but that sense of betrayal made Qi Xuan murderous to the person in front of him.
