Chapter 67: Past and Present
At this end, as soon as Meng Zhou walked into the house, a smell of medicine came to his face, and Meng Zhou slowly took a few steps forward by the dim light. Through the curtains, a vague figure lay on the bed.
"Pour a glass of water."
Hearing the hoarse voice, Mengzhou stopped, turned over and walked to the table, and poured a cup of tea.
A simple hand slipped out of the curtain to take the cup, sipping water one by one, and making a few sick sounds from time to time.
"Miss Ling'er."
Hearing the words, the person in the tent coughed a few times, and said intermittently: "Ling'er is not well today, I hope you will pass on your mother, I hope to understand." ”
"I have admired the daimyo for a long time."
Ling'er made a movement in her hand and slowly put down the cup.
Meng Zhou said: "I heard that Miss Ling'er has a song that moves all over the world, but I can't see it today, it's a pity." ”
"If you really want to see it, why don't you come back in two days."
Meng Zhou pulled out a smile: "Time does not treat people, changes are impermanent, who knows that two days later, will I have the honor to see Ling'er girl again?" ”
"Your Excellency, why should you be presumptuous, Ling'er is just a woman in a green building, what an honor."
"With the talent and appearance of the girl Ling'er, this building can't trap the girl's fame."
There was a chuckle in the tent, and a cup was handed out, "It's just water in the cup, and the full and the lost are all in one thought." ”
"Then I don't know, where is that thought of Ling'er girl?"
The voice in the tent was smiling, and it fell one after another, how could there be the weakness in the illness just now, "It seems that Your Excellency is really persistent, since you really ask for advice, then I will tell you." ”
Meng Zhou's heart was full of alarms, and he just wanted to get up, but found that his body was weak for a moment.
The curtain slowly lifted in front of him, gradually blurring into a patch of red. Meng Zhou cursed under his breath and lost consciousness......
Jing Rong stood at the end of the corridor, watching the lantern tassels on the side of the room swaying slightly, and her heart was uneasy. He pushed the door open, and the night breeze swept through the porch with the smell of wine.
"It's really fast."
Jing Rong brought the door to the door, followed the sound and looked to the left, a woman in red sat at the window, carrying a pot of wine in her hand, her hair fell with the wind, and the moonlight outside the window was a single figure, bleak and clear.
"Are you tired of finding someone?"
Jing Rong's eyes swept around, and he said slowly: "It took you a lot of thought to set up this game." ”
Ling'er took a sip of wine, leaned against the window, and smiled drunk, "It's really the deceased, and the old man is still the same." ”
"Who the hell are you?"
"It's rare to hear that when His Royal Highness doesn't know, it's really a blessing to live for a long time, but today, we, it's not the time to catch up." Ling'er said as she picked up a burden and threw it beside the sleeping Mengzhou, shook the wine in her hand and shook the wine in her hand, her tone was soft, "Fortunately, the coming day is long." ”
Outside the window, the wind rises, and the moonlight swells.
Meng Zhou opened her eyes in the chaos, and the scenery in front of her swayed, shaking her dizzy.
"Don't shake, I'm dizzy."
Hearing Meng Zhou's delicate voice, Jing Rong slowed down his steps and relaxed his hand behind Meng Zhou's back.
Meng Zhou nested in Jing Rong's neck, and said hatefully: "It's really unlucky, and it made people plot again." ”
Xu is medicinal power has not disappeared, and the complaint is more like a grievance in Jing Rong's ears.
"By the way, how did we get out?" Meng Zhou said as if he thought of something, and his whole body was excited, "You, you, you won't sell yourself for glory, ah, no, it's not right to sell yourself to save your friends..."
There were one or two passers-by who looked at them in surprise.
Jing Rong helplessly intercepted Meng Zhou's words, for fear that she would say something nonsense again.
"Does your head still hurt?"
Hearing this, Meng Zhou was angry, "I still haven't escaped her calculations, it seems that those rumors outside are really not groundless." It's a pity that I made such a trip and found nothing. ”
"It's not for nothing."
Hearing this, Meng Zhou hurriedly patted Jing Rong's shoulder and said, "I'm better, let me down, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”
Jing Rong lifted the burden in his hand and said, "This is what I found in that girl's room when I went to look for you, I think you might be useful." ”
Meng Zhou Lala's robe, glanced at the burden, frowned, and said, "From her room? What happened after I fell unconscious? You're looking for me. ”
Jing Rong nodded, "After I entered, you were the only one in the room lying on the bed, with this burden by your side. I saw that no one was paying attention, so I took you out through the side door. ”
"You've been all the way, have anyone chased us or spotted anyone suspicious?"
"Not really."
Meng Zhou took the burden, stretched out his hand a few times, and the doubts between his eyebrows were even heavier, "In this case, let's go back to the inn first, and then make plans when we find out this burden." ”
"Okay."
Back in the room, Meng Zhou hurriedly opened the baggage, in which lay a stained book and a small wooden sheep tied around the neck with a strip of mixed cloth.
Meng Zhou picked up the book and flipped a few pages, and then carefully rubbed the little wooden sheep, sat on the chair dejectedly, and said to Jing Rong: "This is an old poetry book and a child's toy, there is nothing valuable." She was puzzled by her words, "But you said that I was the only one in the house at that time, and this burden was still placed by my side in the open, and we have been out of there for so long, and there is no movement there, it is indeed suspicious." ”
"Do you know what you're made of this coat?"
Meng Zhou was thinking about it, and when he heard Jing Rong ask, he raised his eyebrows, "Tsk, I'm talking about business, can you not interfere and affect my thinking." ”
Jing Rong took a sip of tea, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Then what did you come up with." ”
"I just woke up from that fog array, and I was sorting out a clue that you interrupted me like this, and there is no more."
Jing Rong got up and took a box of snacks from the cabinet and put it in Meng Zhou's hand, and said, "Then it's better to think about it when you're full." ”
"When did you buy it?"
"On the way back."
Dream around the box opened the box and smiled, "We don't have a good heart, how do you know I'm hungry." ”
"The food here is light, you don't get used to it."
Meng Zhou's hand stopped, looked at Jing Rong, and said suspiciously: "How do you know?" ”
Jing Rong coughed lightly, "Didn't you eat a few bites of noodles just now?" ”
Meng Zhou responded perfunctorily, opened the lid of the box and was a little disappointed, "Shortbread? ”
"Yes, you taste it."
Meng Zhou picked up a small piece and took a bite lightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Jing Rong poured a glass of water and put it in front of Meng Zhou, and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Well, it's delicious, sure enough, in addition to reading, you can't eat, drink and have fun better than me, you friend, I'm done."
Jing Rong sighed and didn't make a sound, Meng Zhou patted the residue on his clothes, and suddenly asked, "By the way, you just asked me what the clothes mean, isn't this your robe?" ”
Jing Rong said, "The child you met during the day, did you pay attention to his clothes?" ”
"Well, at first I was anxious and didn't pay attention, but when the kid described Heshan, I started to pay attention."
"Tell me."
Meng Zhou said: "The child's description is almost the same as Heshan, but the child's perspective is different from that of the adult, and the sky is unknown at the time, so it is not easy to see the scar on Heshan's chin." So I paid special attention to the child's appearance and clothing. ”
Jing Rong nodded on the table, "What do you remember?" ”
Meng Zhou twisted his brows, took the teacup on the table, and the wide sleeves were brought over the strip of mixed cloth on the table.
"Clothes, it's clothes, right?" Meng Zhou said and grabbed the strip of mixed colored cloth, "When I first saw it, I thought this strip of cloth was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while." As soon as you said that, I remembered that several of the children who passed by us today were wearing this rough mixed color. But why did she put this in her baggage, and tied it to the neck of a wooden sheep? ”
"Have you seen the flock?"
Meng Zhou thought for a few seconds, "I've seen it in the township before, and I made a lot of noise. ”
"But as long as you find a leader, the others will follow suit."
Meng Zhou was stunned and nodded.
Jing Rong said slowly: "If you say, this is the land where sheep are grazing? ”
Mengzhou's ears flashed the coquettish voice when she fainted, she picked up the book, turned a few pages again, and thought in her heart, it seems that this Ling'er girl is really hiding.
"Look at something."
Meng Zhou shook his feet, raised the book in his hand and said with a smile: "The big door, do you want to hear it." ”
Jing Rong cooperated tightly: "Heroine, please speak." ”
Meng Zhou moved the stool to Jing Rong's side, full of interest, "Oh, you read this book, what do you see." ”
"I don't know."
"Tsk, aren't you pretty smart just now? See this poem? ”
"Yes"
Meng Zhou spread out the pages of the book and approached the candle, the yellowed paper revealed a few faint traces in the candlelight, Meng Zhou said: "See, Shao Guangtang, but this word is written so secretly, there must be some great secret, hey, you say, is this a code, tsk, ask you, why shouldn't you say anything." Meng Zhou turned his head as he spoke, and looked at Shang Jingrong with deep eyes.
The night was silent, and for some reason, Dream Zhou's heart suddenly twisted.
Jing Rong stretched out his hand to brush away the strands of Meng Zhou's hair scattered on one side, and said softly, "I'm listening." ”
Meng Zhou coughed lightly, avoided that gaze, waved his hand and said with a dry smile: "I know..." Seeing Meng Zhou's movements, the corners of Jing Rong's eyebrows jumped, and before he could hold her hand, an extraordinarily warm flame instantly burst out on the table.
After a period of scramble, Meng Zhou picked up the half-broken book, looked at the sighing Jingrong on the side with difficulty, and said cautiously: "Otherwise, you will read it this time." ”
"Shu Xiaosheng is shallow and shallow, and there is really nothing he can do."
Meng Zhou snorted lightly and sat back in the chair, "It's quite a grudge, it's just that you know a place." ”
After a while, Meng Zhou changed his clothes and walked out from behind the screen, and said while tying a hairband: "I'll go out, you can rest in the house." ”
"It's crooked."
Meng Zhou turned around and wondered, "What did you say?" ”
Jing Rong stepped forward and took the hairband in Meng Zhou's hand and tied it carefully, slid down and held Meng Zhou's arm, opened the door, looked back at Meng Zhou with a stunned face, and naturally said, "Don't you go?" ”
The night is quiet, a few lights are reflected in the night, lonely and clear.
Meng Zhou poked Jing Rong on the side, and said in a low voice: "When we get there, if we have to separate or there is any danger, remember, don't turn back, we'll see you at the inn." ”
"Yes."
"Also, follow me quietly for a while, don't act rashly, don't you hear?"
"Yes."
"The last one, if something really goes wrong, protect yourself first, don't be strong. Remember? ”
"Okay."
Hearing the promises made by the people in front of her one by one, Meng Zhou was relieved, she groped for a long time and took out a knife from her arms and handed it to Jing Rong, "Oh, take it." But don't take it out until you have to, lest people grab the handle. Meng Zhou said and twisted a glance at Jing Rong, frowning: "What are you laughing at, listen carefully, it will be like that night, I don't know how to hide when I encounter danger, I tell you, if something really goes wrong at that time, I won't save you." ”
After Meng Zhou finished speaking, he added, "You heard it clearly, are you still going?" ”
Jing Rong smiled and lifted his steps, "Let's go, and the sky will be dawn after two more words." ”
"You still think I'm talking about you."
"Don't dare, the heroine's teachings, take it to heart."
"Hmph, you'll know the truth I'm saying in a while, and you'll regret it."
As the night grew heavier, the two figures gradually drowned in the darkness...
