The house leak happened to rain overnight, and as soon as Meng Zhou and Jing Rong came out of the dark room, they heard a neutral male voice in the courtyard.

"Alright, you all go down, you come here."

Meng Zhou sighed, seeing that the door was about to be pushed open, Jing Rong pulled Meng Zhou's arm and hid behind the screen.

The door was pushed open and closed, and Meng Zhou looked through the gap and a man and a woman walked in. The man is dressed in a gorgeous costume, with a strong physique, and at a glance it is the master's house, and then look closely at the man's age of about fifty, and he can enter here so openly at such an age, there must be only Gao He. There was a little maid behind him, and she looked good.

Meng Zhou was looking, and saw that the two people in the room suddenly hugged each other, and Meng Zhou's eyes were stunned.

The little maid stretched out her hand and said coquettishly: "Master~, Mrs. punished the slave and maid for washing yesterday, and the slave and maid had not healed the injury on her hand the day before yesterday, and it hurt more and more when she got wet yesterday." ”

"Come and see me. Oops, your little hands are red, so I'll ask someone to bring you some medicine later, and I promise that your little hands will be back to their original state after taking the medicine. ”

"Guarantee, the master always says this kind of thing, and the master promised before that Mrs. will never trouble Heng'er again in the future, but yesterday she didn't humiliate Heng'er in public."

"Oh, my lady has that unpleasant temperament, don't worry, one day I will have to divorce her." Gao He said that his hands wandered restlessly on Heng'er.

Heng'er's voice dragged Jiaoyin and said, "Master, you will talk about these coaxes Heng'er." ”

"How could it be, I'm so distressed that you, if it weren't for the fact that my lady's family is still a little useful, I would have let her get out of here."

There was a coquettish laugh in the room.

Meng Zhou clenched his fists and said softly, "This bastard." ”

The pen and paper on the table were swept down, and the Zhang Gao Deyuan fell to the ground lightly. From time to time, several pieces of clothing followed. Meng Zhou immediately turned his gaze and met Shang Jingrong's eyes. She said softly: "What to see, don't look at it if you don't know if it's rude." ”

Jing Rong looked innocent, "It's you who have been watching." ”

Meng Zhou tried his best to suppress his voice, and his face was slightly angry, "You spew blood." ”

"Then what are you blushing about?"

Dream Zhou was anxious and waved his fist, "I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly covered her ears with Jing Rong. Immediately after that, an unbearable sound faintly came.

Meng Zhou was stunned, and when the momentum was extinguished, she only felt that the tips of her ears were burning quickly, and the whole person seemed to be steaming in a hot pool.

The time seems to have passed extraordinarily long, so long that I thought I was going to lose my legs numbly.

After a moment of slumbling in the room, the clothes on the floor were picked up one by one.

"Heng'er, I'll go see you again in the evening."

"Then you must come, sir."

"Okay, when the time comes, I will personally go and deliver medicine to you, let's go."

The door closed, and Jing Rong slowly lowered his hand, "They're gone." ”

Meng Zhou nodded, and got up with some difficulty, who knew that her feet trembled, and she pounced on Jing Rong who had not yet gotten up.

Jing Rong was caught off guard for a while, and the two of them fell to the ground.

Mengzhou's body stiffened, and he reacted hurriedly, propped himself up and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

Jing Rong sat up without saying a word, and touched his head innocently. The blood on the right arm that he lifted showed signs of oozing again.

Meng Zhou hurriedly said, "Are you okay?" ”

"It hurts."

Meng Zhou said a little apologetically: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so when we go back, I'll help you take a closer look." ”

"Okay."

Before leaving, a piece of paper on the ground was stopped and belted.

At the end of the day, the sun was about to set, and Heshan was looking forward to the two figures.

"Why did you come back, Brother Huai, what's wrong?"

Meng Zhou glanced behind him and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

After entering the house, Mengzhou threw a piece of clothing in Heshan's arms and said, "His arm is injured, you help him, and I'll go change clothes." ”

"Okay."

After a while, Meng Zhou came in with a bowl of porridge and asked Heshan, "How is it, is the medicine good?" ”

"Just wrapped, what's wrong with you? Discovered? ”

Meng Zhou sat on the side of the bed, stirred the bowl of porridge, and said a little apologetically: "No, it was when I broke into the dark room of Gaohe's study that I accidentally dragged my feet for a while, so that Brother Huai suffered." ”

Heshan said: "What about the injury on Brother Huai's head?" ”

Meng Zhou suddenly became nervous and asked Xiang Jingrong, "Is it serious?" Isn't it still uncomfortable. ”

"It's okay, it's just that there are a lot of people and I'm a little dizzy." Jing Rong said, his eyes swept over Heshan as if he were nothing.

Mengzhou stood up, pushed Heshan and said, "Okay, you go out first, I'll take care of it." ”

Outside the door, the sun had set, and the twilight in the distance was rising little by little. Heshan glanced back at the door and walked away slowly.

"Here, watch out for the burn."

Jing Rong lowered his head slightly and drank porridge, and when he raised his eyes, it was like yesterday.

"What's wrong?"

"Come back to Kyoto with me."

Meng Zhou smiled: "Why did you mention this again, didn't I say that I will definitely go to see it when I have the opportunity?" ”

"It's okay to go home with me."

Meng Zhou's heart trembled suddenly, and the porridge in his hand almost fell on the quilt. She didn't look up, and the spoon in her hand jingled: "Okay, if you really get to Kyoto, then Heshan and I will definitely go to your place as guests." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and Jing Rong sighed, "Is my words so difficult to understand?" ”

"It's too late, you can rest."

Meng Zhou said and stood up, put down the bowl and said, "I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

Jing Rong glanced at the figure who had fled in the wilderness, leaned against the head of the bed, and the corners of his forehead became more and more painful.

"Childe."

Jing Rong opened his eyes and looked at Sanqi who was standing in front of the bed: "When did you come in?"

"My subordinates have been standing for a long time." Sanqi hesitated: "Childe is unwell? ”

"It's okay, you bring a message back to Jiang Tingyuan, asking him to pay more attention to the movements of Nanzhou Jiaoyi and Linzhou Guo recently, and take care of his people."

"Yes."

Jing Rong took out the seal drawn by Sanqi from his arms and handed it to him: "Give this to her and tell her to be careful in everything." ”

Sanqi looked panicked, "It's really..."

"There are too many true and false things involved in this game, and now the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the spread of the situation has to be prevented. What are you coming from? ”

Sanqi said: "The subordinates went out of the Gao Mansion today, and found the figure of the Ling'er coachman nearby, and the subordinates followed him all the way, and found that he entered a dilapidated courtyard, and soon after, the coachman left alone, until the evening, a man came out of the courtyard, and the subordinates followed, and found that the person was Xie Chi. ”

Jing Rong said: "According to what Shen Min'er said, he should be in the border city now, but now he is back in Jin'an City but he is acting in a cover-up, and there must be a move to follow him." ”

"Yes."

Sanqi said and glanced at the door and said, "Childe, it's been so long, Miss Su, she still doesn't want to go back?" ”

Jing Rong closed his eyes, and the corner of his forehead, which had just eased down, began to ache again, "Let's get out." ”

"Yes."

In the middle of the night, I woke up in a nightmare and broke out in a cold sweat. She pressed her chest, how long had it been, how long had it been since she had dreamed of the firelight and the high platform, who was the woman who jumped down, and why she refused to let her go.

A dark shadow flashed in the room, and Meng Zhou immediately alertly pulled out the short knife under the pillow and put it behind him.

As soon as she got out of bed and walked to the table, a cool breeze flashed in her ears, and then a cold dagger was pressed against her neck.

"Don't make a sound."

"Okay." Hearing that voice, Meng Zhou somehow felt at ease, she put the short knife in her hand on the table and said, "This girl, if you have anything to say, why don't we sit down and talk." ”

"Where's the stuff?"

Meng Zhou asked rhetorically, "What is it?" ”

"The piece of paper you later picked up from the floor of Gao He's study."

Meng Zhou turned sideways and said, "Do you want that to say earlier, take it, I'll take it for you, then can you put the knife away first." ”

The chill subsided, and someone pushed him behind him, "Hurry up." ”

"Okay, good, you're amazing, you have the final say." Meng Zhou rummaged through the side of the bed a few times, found the piece of paper and handed it to Sheng Lan and said, "Oh, here you go." ”

"You've seen it."

Meng Zhou pulled out a smile and said cautiously: "This, black and white paper, what about me, I happen to know so many words, what do you think?" ”

"You haven't gotten the handle of Li Shou's crime."

Meng Zhou was stunned, looking at the posture of the person in front of her, she almost thought that she was the little minion under this girl.

"This, right now, this person is covering the neighboring water with one hand, and I'm just an ordinary person, arresting criminals, the girl should ask the yamen."

Sheng Lan pulled out a short knife and pointed directly at Meng Zhou, "Don't play dumb riddles with me here, yes or no." ”

"No, he ran away." Meng Zhou moved his feet silently and said quickly: "When we left the neighboring water, he was gone, so I know maybe there are not as many girls as you, so you can let me go." ”

"Waste."

Dream Zhou was incredulous, "... I!? ”

"Why, isn't it?" Sheng Lan said and took a step forward with his knife, and said mockingly: "I thought he was looking for someone, but now it seems that this is just the case." ”

"Huh?" Meng Zhou's face was inexplicable, "This girl, is there any misunderstanding between us?" ”

"Misunderstanding, I think it's incredible to say a word to you stupidly."

Sheng Lan said, looked up and down, and Meng Zhou said, "It's useless." ”

Meng Zhou was furious, "Hey, you want things if you want things, why are you scolding." ”

"Let's just tell the truth." Sheng Lan put away the paper, glanced at Mengzhou, and jumped out of the window.

"It's too arrogant, it's too arrogant." Meng Zhou drank a few glasses of cold water and walked around the house a few times before he got rid of his anger. She sat at the table. I thought of Sheng Lan's words about the person I was looking for. Meng Zhou muttered: "Who is the 'he' that girl is talking about, and what's the matter with me?" ”

Meng Zhou thought about it carefully, looking at the posture in the dark room today, the girl in purple and Huai Zhi must be old acquaintances, but now there seems to be some irreconcilable contradiction between the two, plus the girl's strange behavior when she saw her and Huai Zhi together in the dark room, this thing is strange. Also, Huai Zhi is also very strange today, as if he has been stimulated by something.

'Old man', 'person in my heart', somehow, these two words in Mengzhou's mind are like a net under the hood.

In the flash of light, Meng Zhou jumped up as if he suddenly remembered something, "I know, it must be a sweetheart of me who looks like Huaizhi's brother, and now I go in and out with him to run errands, and the girl in purple had a relationship with Huaizhi before, but she hated Huaizhi because of love." So now when I see me, I feel angry, and I will be hurt by the pond fish. ”

Meng Zhou said and sat down slowly: "No wonder, no wonder he suddenly asked me to go home with him today, it must be that girl in purple who is strong in force, he didn't dare to refuse directly, so he wanted to use me as an excuse to top the bag." ”

"It's too much, it's too much, it's so bad that I'm still thinking about how I'm going to see him tomorrow, and he actually wants to use me as a scapegoat, bastard."

"What are you arguing about when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Before Heshan finished speaking, the door in front of him was pushed open suddenly, and Heshan saw a fiery Mengzhou in the fog, he woke up and stammered: "You, you, what's wrong with you?" ”

"You can't go."

"Let's go, you rest, the little one will go immediately."

The next day, Heshan was talking to Jingrong, the door was pushed open, Heshan glanced at the visitor, swallowed saliva and said: "Brother Huai, take care." ”

After he finished speaking, he pulled his legs and left, but he stretched out an arm in front of him to stop him.

Meng Zhou glanced at Heshan and said softly: "What's the hurry, didn't you have a good chat?" ”

Heshan sighed and sat silently at the table.

Meng Zhou took the medicine bottle and gauze on the table, sat on the side of the bed, and said softly, "Wake up." ”

"I heard you were in a bad mood last night."

As soon as Jing Rong's words came out, Heshan instantly wanted to cry without tears, but he also came in advance to tell Jing Rong not to mention this matter, he was good, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and favored Tiger Mountain.

Sure enough, the gauze in Mengzhou's hand was cut in two.

Dream Zhou Feng said lightly: "Oh, I just had a nightmare." ”

"What did you dream about?"

Although there were dark clouds covering the sun on the face of the dream, the movements of his hands were still gentle, and Heshan was a lot more stable when he saw this.

"I dreamed of a girl in purple, and I took a knife and asked you why you didn't marry her."

Jing Rong suddenly felt a little funny, "And then?" ”

Meng Zhou raised his eyes and glanced at Jing Rong and said, "Then you pulled a girl next to you and said that you already have a crush." ”

Heshan said strangely: "There is no you in this dream, why has it become your nightmare." ”

Meng Zhou snorted coldly, and continued: "Later, when you looked at this girl carefully, you found that she was not your beloved at all, but just looked like the person you admired. Then, in order to escape for your own life, you pushed her on the tip of the purple-clothed girl's knife. ”

After listening to Meng's words, Jing Rong chuckled as if he couldn't help it.

Meng Zhou clenched his fists, stood up and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Jing Rong remembered Mengzhou's chatter in the house last night, and somehow felt more and more funny, "I just think this story is better than the one you wrote in your script last time." ”

On the side, Heshan saw Jing Rong sitting on the bed smiling with happy eyebrows and eyes, and the anger around the bed, which could be seen growing Mengzhou, sighed, and hurriedly lifted his feet.

Meng Zhou looked like he was about to come in a storm, gritted his teeth and said, "Really? ”

"Yes." Jing Rong nodded obediently, "Yes, do you need me to write it down for you?" ”

Meng Zhou remembered last night's speculation again, stretched out his hand and said, "You..."

Before she finished speaking, her hand was grabbed by Jing Rong and pulled suddenly, and Meng Zhou half sat in Jing Rong's arms.

Jing Rong said softly, "What did she say to you?" ”

"You let go first!"

"I'm injured, if you want to beat me like you beat Heshan, I can't hide, so I naturally want to pull you."

Meng Zhou said angrily: "If I really want to beat you, I came last night." She paused for a second and said, "Are you pretending, how can an injured person have such strength." ”

Jing Rong said frankly: "I'm afraid, naturally I have a lot of strength. ”

As Jing Rong was talking, the door was pushed open, Xiaokong took the book, and hurriedly rushed in and said, "Dream boy, don't you." The words came to an abrupt end with Heshan, who rushed in later.

In front of him, Meng Zhou was sitting on Jing Rong's legs, holding his hands together, and his posture was extremely intimate.

Heshan covered Xiaokong's eyes violently and stammered: "Say, I said that I won't let you in, you kid, don't leave quickly." ”

The door was closed, Meng Zhou closed his eyes and sighed, and said weakly: "Let go." ”

Jing Rong raised an eyebrow and let go of his hand.

Mengzhou sat on the side of the bed again, hanging his shoulders for a long time without making a sound, and his mood was very low.

"What do you think?"

Mengzhou said sadly: "I'm thinking, what kind of story can I make up to convince Xiaokong." ”

Jing Rong chuckled, "Then you'll have to think about it." ”

Meng Zhou looked at Jing Rong and said, "The culprit." ”

Jing Rong shrugged and said, "I'll tell you, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

"Do you know the girl in purple?"

"Well, but she and I are only a few faces, and the Jiang Tingyuan she said yesterday is the person she wants to question with a knife."

Meng Zhou said: "What is your relationship with that Jiang Gongzi?" ”

"Friends."

"Do you have a beloved who looks like me?"

Jing Rong pondered for a second, then looked up and said, "I just want to take you home." ”

"Cough" Meng Zhou Ping choked for a moment, looked away and said: "So, she hates your friend, and she looks at you unpleasantly." ”

Jing Rong said: "That's about it, what else do you want to ask?" ”

"Last question, do you know why she bothered to find Li Shoudi?"

"She came to you yesterday to ask about it?"

Mengzhou nodded, "Yes, I picked up a piece of paper in Gao He's study when I left yesterday, which recorded the three children who were taken out of Shaoguang a month ago, and the last signature on that piece of paper was Li Shoudi. When I came back, I wanted to tell you, but I changed my clothes and went to ask for a bowl of porridge and forgot it, and by the time I remembered it, it was already late. ”

Jing Rong frowned and said, "I don't know, what does she have to do with Li Shoudi." ”

"Anyway, I looked at her posture yesterday, and this hatred seems to be quite deep." After Meng Zhou finished speaking, he shook his feet and sighed, "It's really troublesome." ”

"Brother Huai~"

Hearing Shen Min'er's voice, Meng Zhou shrank all over, "I almost forgot, and this lord." ”

Meng Zhou said and looked back at Jing Rong, said, and spread his hands: "What should I do?" ”

"I have a headache." Jing Rong said as he lay down and pulled the quilt, with a sincere face but couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Meng Zhou rolled his eyes, tucked the corner of the quilt and got up, muttering as he walked, "I really owe you." ”

The door opened, and Meng Zhou curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It turned out to be Miss Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you feeling better?" ”

"It's much better, by the way, what about Brother Huai?"

"He, he was infected with wind cold and was sick in bed yesterday, and he really couldn't say hello to Miss Shen, I hope Miss Shen will forgive me."

Shen Min'er said anxiously: "Brother Huaizhi is sick, then I'll go and see." ”

"I can't help it, I can't help it, Miss Shen."

Shen Min'er was dissatisfied: "What are you stopping me from doing?" ”

"It's not that I don't want Miss Shen to go in, it's really because Miss Shen, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is already weak, if you go in now, in case you are infected again, won't the gains outweigh the losses, and you will have to lie in bed for a few days. At that time, even if Brother Huai is good, you won't be able to come out, Miss. Besides, if the helper knows that you are sick because of this, he will probably blame Brother Huai, which you don't want to see. ”

Shen Min'er lowered her eyes and thought for two seconds and said, "What you said is reasonable, but since I am here, I can't come in vain." In a moment, I will have someone bring some typhoid medicine and a few more quilts. By the way, if Brother Huaizhi still needs anything, you just write it down and send someone to send it to me, and I will have someone to add it. ”

"Then I will thank Miss Shen for Brother Huai."

Shen Min'er tiptoed to look at the room, sighed and said, "Then I'll go, Meng Gongzi, you have to take good care of Brother Huaizhi." ”

"Okay, don't worry."

After Shen Min'er left, Meng Zhou sat at the stone table in the courtyard with a sigh.

Heshan smiled: "I haven't seen you for a night, and your nonsense has improved a lot." ”

Meng Zhou was a little weak, "Who told me to owe him, by the way, what about Xiaokong?" ”

"Heal in the house." Heshan said and approached Mengzhou: "I said, can you two be more restrained in front of the child." ”

"I think I should have accepted you as a rumor-monger."

Meng Zhou said, getting up and walking towards the small empty house.
