The poet is biased towards this injury, and the rhyme has no quarrel. Laughter should also be interpreted, and only the sound of the warbler should be spoken.

In April, the apricot blossoms bloomed.

Large snow-white petals fell on the branches of the trees in the courtyard, and with the breeze, they fluttered to the ground. Looking closer, the slender stamens of the flowers exude fragrance, and in the warm sunlight, the white and almost transparent petals seem to be breathing softly, breathing this tenderness that belongs to her.

It turns out that Jiangnan can really make people nostalgic and nostalgic like a picture scroll, and they can't let go, they are reluctant to leave, and they can't forget.

"Spring tour, apricot blossoms blowing all over the head, Mo on whose young man, full of romance." I lay on my back on the branches of the old tree, my eyes narrowed slightly, and I looked lazily at the young man who came from the small gate of the garden, and the corners of my mouth rose slightly.

"How beautiful is the scenery from the trees compared to the one below?" Du Rong stood under the old tree where I was lying on my back, tilted his head slightly, and asked me with a smile.

When I heard this, I seriously compared it up and down, and finally replied, "One point." ”

Du Rong raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How did the 'point' come from? ”

I closed my eyes and enjoyed, "The sun here is a little warmer than it is down there." ”

"It seems to make some sense to say that." Du Rong looked at me funny: "Didn't you say you wanted to go to Qiyuan Lake for a walk?" Why are you lying on a tree now? ”

I sighed with a sad face, and raised a hand to show Du Rong, "Your person is so powerful, I haven't moved my hand once in the past month, and now the wrist injury has been healed, and the arrow wound on my body has also healed." ”

"Isn't it a good thing that the injury is healed?"

"It's a good thing." I got up and jumped neatly off the tree, "But that's a bad thing." ”

"Bad things? What's the bad thing? Du Rong didn't seem to understand what I meant.

I glanced at him and turned back to my bedroom.

"Knowingly asked."

What does it mean to be well-wounded? It means it's time for her to go back to Beijing! The reason why the emperor allowed her to come to Jiangnan was because she was injured, and she had to take care of her body in a warm spring place like Jiangnan. If there is anyone who does not open his eyes to the emperor to visit me, saying that I have disobeyed the holy decree and refused to return to Beijing despite my injuries, the emperor will not get used to me.

Even if I was secretly instructed by him to come here to do something.

This Du Rong obviously knows everything, but he has to come to entertain me, I really don't know if I made him a friend at the beginning, whether it was careless in making friends, and I reaped the consequences.

After changing into a well-prepared outfit, I followed Du Rong to Qiyuan Lake in a carriage. Along the way, Du Rong looked me carefully from top to bottom and from left to right with strange eyes from time to time, but he secretly didn't dare to let me find out that he was looking at me.

I endured it for a while, but finally I couldn't help but grit my teeth and ask, "Am I that weird?" ”

Du Rong quickly withdrew his gaze when I looked at him, but when I asked directly, he looked at me with strange eyes, but immediately denied it, "No, nothing strange." ”

"Really?" I stared at him suspiciously.

Du Rong was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Don't you think that a coarse linen dress is a little incongruous on you?" ”

I looked down at the taupe I had bought from the ready-to-wear store and didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Ordinary people wear these every day, why is it that it is not coordinated with me? Don't make a fuss and get out of the car. I said.

"Get out of the car?" Du glanced uncertainly at the view outside the window, then turned his head to look at me suspiciously.

I was sure and determined to look at him "Get off." ”

Du Rong shook his head, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and when the carriage stopped, he sighed and got out of the carriage.

"From here, you can't see Qiyuan Lake." He said to me, who got out of the car.

I tugged at my wrinkled clothes, and said unconcernedly, "It's just a few steps, let's just walk over." ”

Du Rong looked at the bustling crowd around him, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to reach it in a few hundred steps." ”

Thinking that Qiyuan Lake is located in a vast area, the river tide is connected to the sky, there are distant herons flying from time to time, the glow is paved, the surrounding vegetation is wild plants, sand and stone loess, it is simply a place far away from the world, how can this crowded street be close to there?

I looked around, and after determining the direction I was going, I patted Du Rong on the shoulder and said to him, "Don't pretend, don't you know what I'm here for?" There's a teahouse over there, you go in first and sit down, and I'll come back when I go. ”

Du Rong said: "Do you really want to go alone?" ”

"Nature." With that, I walked down an alley.

The alley has only one road, which is straight and also very long. I searched for my memories and walked along the road, and the more I went inside, the darker the light became, and when I looked in from the front, the alley seemed to be an endless beast's mouth, with teeth and claws, unscrupulous.

Xu made it to the middle of the alley, and I finally found my purpose in the dim light.

An old pawnshop with "life and death" written on it.

"Is anyone there?" I walked over to the counter and knocked on the partition.

There was no sound in the pawnshop, not even light, it was dark.

"Is anyone there?" I amplified my voice a bit.

A bloodless face suddenly appeared in the window of the partition, and I stepped back in fright.

"What do you want to be a guest officer?" Sen Leng's voice came from the dark window, and with it a face covered in countless wrinkles and scars.

My body trembled uncontrollably, and it took a while for me to recover.

I approached the counter and whispered, "I'm precious to this thing, are you sure you can get a good price?" ”

The person in the window opened his mouth and seemed to be laughing, but it was strangely hairy.

"As long as the customer officer gives you a good thing, the store can give you a good price you expect."

"You have something here, do you want to leave a note or something?" I was cautious about staring into the eyes of the man inside, and if he hesitated, I would turn around and leave.

"No, I don't." The person in the window replied very simply, "Life and death pawnshop, don't ask about identity, don't ask about origin." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, but my vigilance was not completely lifted, and I asked, "Can you guarantee that no one knows that I have been to you?" ”

The man at the window replied, "Only the ghosts of the past can see our transaction today, please rest assured." ”

I let my guard down completely, and carefully pulled out a wooden box from my bosom.

"Look, how much is it worth?" I pushed the wooden box through the window.

The person in the window took the wooden box and disappeared, and the silence inside returned to its original dead silence.

I stood outside the counter and waited, and as time went by, I grew anxious.

"Hey, what about people? Aren't you okay yet? ”

"Is anyone in there?"

"My stuff, hey, my stuff, my money?"

"Where have the people gone? Answer me!"

I banged on the counter and shouted, "Are you trying to take my stuff?" If you don't come out, I'll smash your pawnshop!"

"How is Childe's patience so good?"

The face that was as white as bones did not appear in the window, but it was a beautiful woman. If it weren't for the pale faces of theirs, I would have almost thought I was having a ridiculous nightmare.

I was stunned for a moment, and my tone relaxed a lot, "What about the guy just now?" He hasn't given me the money yet. ”

The woman covered the corner of her mouth with a blood-red square handkerchief and giggled, "How much does Childe want?" The slave can give it to you. ”

I was captivated by her coquettish movements and stared blankly at her.

"Childe?"

"Childe?"

I snapped back to my senses, awkwardly looking away.

"Five million taels." I'm in the five hands signing.

When the woman heard this, she asked softly, "Does Childe want a silver ticket or silver?" ”

I said, "Silver ticket, how can I get the silver?" ”

The woman laughed again, as if she were laughing at my answer, and as if she was simply amused by me.

"Wait a minute, the slave family will go and get the silver ticket." With that, the woman disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, the old bony face appeared at the window, and the man stretched out a bony hand and placed the silver ticket I wanted in the window.

"Each one is half a million taels, a total of ten." An eerie voice rang out, and the hand was retracted.

I took the silver tickets, counted them in person, and when I saw that they were all in the right denominations, I immediately put them into my bosom, and then turned and hurried out of the alley.

Outside the alley, I walked around the street, then walked into a good ready-to-wear store, and after a while, I changed my clothes, slipped out the back door of the store, and went around to the teahouse where Du Rong was.

As soon as I entered the room, I walked to the table, picked up the teapot and began to pour water, until I drank the whole teapot of tea, and then I collapsed on the stool.

Du Rong frowned when he saw me like this.

"Are you alright?" When my breathing gradually stabilized, Du Rong spoke.

I shook my head and nodded again.

"What's going on? Did they do it? ”

I took a deep breath and said, "No, they didn't do it. ”

"What the hell have you encountered?" Du Rong looked at me a little worriedly.

"Two people, two faces." I said.

"What?" Du Rong didn't understand what I meant.

"Two people, a bewitching woman, a skinny old man." I explained, "I only saw these two faces during the whole transaction, two faces that were equally white. ”

"Why?" Du Rong asked, "Can't you see the inside of it?" ”

I nodded, "It's pitch black, and if it weren't for some light outside, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see their faces." ”

"Why is this pawnshop so strange?" Du Rong was puzzled: "Did Jia Chun really go there?" You must know that he used to be so poor that he could only use begging to raise money for the passage and go to Beijing to catch the exam, how could he have anything valuable? ”

"Moreover, if his ancestors are rich and noble, or there are ancestral things left, but Jia Chun's ancestors have never produced such a person at all."

I shook my head, "It doesn't make sense, but let's talk about the 'pawnshop of life and death' first, when I came out of that alley, I felt a strong murderous aura." ”

"Then why didn't they do it in the end?"

"I don't know, when I went into a ready-to-wear store and changed into a dress, the murderous aura disappeared."

When Du Rong heard this, he muttered, "Isn't it that they are observing whether your identity is as you show, an outlaw, or a person who is secretly abducted, poor and destitute?" ”

I thought back to the scene after I got out of the alley below, and agreed, "They were afraid that the government would find them, so they came to see if I was a spy." ”

"Hmm." Du Rong nodded.

"When they were in the pawnshop, they tested me left and right, but I still didn't dispel their suspicions about me." I said, "With such care, it's no wonder that it can be hidden for so many years." ”

"You thought they had hidden all the money they had embezzled from Jiangnan in this pawnshop, but now you can confirm it?" Du Rong asked.

I looked at Du Rong with confidence: "There will never be a mistake. Then, I slowly took out ten silver tickets from my arms and showed them to Du Rong, "Five million taels, how can a mere pawnshop be richer than the imperial court?" Easily, without even pressing the price, he took out five million taels? ”

Du Rong stared into my eyes, "What did you give them?" ”

I smiled and said, "I took it from Gu Yuancheng for nothing, hehe, five million taels, my hands tremble when I think about it." ”
