Fallen Leaves Return to the Sycamore Chapter 29 The Eve of the Wind and Rain
It was already the second half of the night after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Taoli felt dizzy in his head, walked all the way to the guest room, pushed open the door and saw the wooden ghost lying on the ground, Qi'an was not in the room, Bai Taoli suddenly sobered up a lot.
"Wood ghost, wood ghost ......" Bai Taoli hurriedly ran over and gently pushed the wood ghost.
Unexpectedly, the wood ghost turned over, opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Bai Taoli, and said vaguely: "Taoli...... You're back...... I'll sleep again......"
Was it just sleeping? Did Qi'an also go back to sleep? Bai Taoli thought in her heart, so she threw herself on the bed, Qi'an should be fine...... I'll sleep too.
For some reason, the wind in the second half of the night suddenly became manic, slapping directly on the doors and windows, making people not calm in their sleep.
Bai Taoli felt that this scene was familiar, like meeting Xu Qi'an in Qi'an Xuan that night......
There should be nothing going on in the City Lord's Mansion, maybe it's just an ordinary wind, it's going to rain, and tomorrow, it's going to be a bad day.
Finally, Bai Taoli's eyelids couldn't hold on, so they closed heavily.
"Peach and Plum...... Wood Ghost ......"
"Peach and Plum ......"
"Peach and Plum...... Help me......"
"Save Me ......"
A faint voice kept coming from a distant place, like Xu Qi'an's voice, which came into the ears of the wood ghost.
"Qi'an?" The wood ghost moved his furry ears, looked up at the dark room, listened carefully with his ears pricked up, and did not hear any more sounds other than the sound of the wind, so he felt that he had misheard, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
.
Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Several people were still standing outside the door of the city lord's mansion and talking.
"Seeing that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it's about to rain," Xue Ye looked up at the sky, "I'm going back too, so go to bed early." ”
After saying that, he turned around to leave, and after walking a few steps, he looked back at Xun Liang again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xun, your apprentice is really interesting, I will come to play with her next time!" ”
Xun Liang's face was gloomy, and he turned around and left.
Su Qu looked at the two of them, and most of them understood in their hearts.
"City Lord, rest early, it's getting late today." Nanfeng saw Su Qu walking in the direction of the study, and trotted to catch up with Su Qu and said.
When the lord came back today, he didn't pay much attention to him......
"City Lord, what did Mother Zhang of Manxiang Building say to you today?" Nanfeng walked beside Su Qu.
Su Qu stopped, looked at the huge City Lord's Mansion, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "Nanfeng, how long have you been with me?" ”
Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "City Lord, what are you asking for?" ”
It was very windy, but it was okay to let what you whispered to be said by the wind so that no one could hear it.
The night was dark, there was no candle light around, and it just so happened that they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, so they didn't care what they looked like at the moment.
"Nanfeng, tell me honestly, how long have you been with me? Do you remember? Su Qu's voice carried a hint of loss, and after hearing Zhang's mother's words in Manxianglou, he began to doubt himself a little.
He doubted that he was really, as his mother said, and had been kept in the dark by Nanfeng......
Everyone says that the city lord of Su is merciful and sees things clearly, but why can't he see through this matter? The murderer pointed it out to you, but you don't believe it?
Zhang's mother's words sounded in his mind again.
Nanfeng looked at Su Qu, although he couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment, he could hear confusion and hope in his tone.
"I've been following you since I was a child......" Nanfeng said slowly. Of course, Nanfeng remembers these things clearly, but if you talk about how long it has been, it has been more than 20 years.
Castle Lord, what are you asking for?
"Yes, you've been following me since I was a child," Su Qu said, "it's been more than twenty years......
"City Lord?" Nanfeng was puzzled, "What's wrong with you, City Lord?" It's very strange today to say something that people don't understand. ”
Su Qu sighed softly and asked again, "Nanfeng, after so many years, have you ever lied to me or hidden anything from me?" ”
When Nanfeng heard this, he felt that something was wrong in his heart: "City Lord, Nanfeng has never lied to you!" ”
Su Qu raised his head and closed his eyes, as if he was desperate, he was still lying?
The wind was really strong, blowing up all the fallen leaves in the grass, and following the wind, it circled in the air.
"City Lord, whose slander have you heard?"
"Nobody told me." Su Qu opened his mouth and said.
After saying this, he walked in the direction of the study, leaving Nanfeng alone, standing in the middle of the path, surrounded by a dark patch, and could not see anything.
Nanfeng secretly clenched the saber in his hand and looked at the direction in which Su Qu was walking.
He couldn't see him.
After all, he still has a grudge against the south wind.
Nanfeng stumbled all the way back to the room, slamming the door shut.
In the room, he sat on the ground as if he was desperate, his back was tightly pressed against the door, his face was pale, and only the flickering candle flame kept fluttering and dancing in the room.
Su Qu should already know that Xu Qi'an was harmed by him......
This damn old woman, her mouth is not tight!
Nanfeng got up, his angry lips trembled, picked up a teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.
The cup fell to the ground with a shattering sound.
"Huh ......" At this time, the south wind seemed to have changed a person, and the appearance of opening teeth and claws did not match the appearance of the gentle and considerate southern guards on weekdays.
What now?!
"I can't let Su Qu find out, I can't let him have a bad impression of me!" Nanfeng shook his head, "Don't ...... You can't ......."
"Knock knock knock ......" There was a knock on the door.
Bursts of news, accompanied by the sound of the wind, sounded regularly.
Nanfeng squinted at the closed door, who? Coming back so late?
The knocking on the door seemed to stop for a while.
Could it be that the wind blows? Just as he was thinking this, there was another knock on the door.
"Who?!" Nanfeng asked loudly.
"It's me, Southwind." Su Qu's voice.
How did he get here? Nanfeng suddenly became a little flustered, looking at the broken teacup on the ground, he hurriedly got up and picked up the fragments of the teacup and threw them under the bed, stretched out his hand and touched his face indiscriminately, and stroked the hair on his forehead to his ears.
"City Lord, why don't you rest so late?" Nanfeng regained his composure and opened his mouth to ask.
It's back to the old south wind.
"Nanfeng, open the door, I have something to ask you." Su Qu said outside the door.
"City Lord, it's late today, my subordinates feel a little tired, what's the matter to talk about tomorrow......" Nanfeng stood in front of the door, looked at Su Qu's shadow shining in from outside, frowned lightly and said, "Okay?" ”
Although the wind was loud, the south wind could still hear Su Qu's soft sigh outside.
"Alas...... All right. The man outside the door sighed softly.
Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief as the shadow disappeared from the house.
What is Su Qu doing at this time? What is he going to say and what is he going to ask?
Do you want to ask him if I tell him everything I know, or do I really hurt Xu Qi'an?
Nanfeng thought.
It was indeed what he did, but he did it for Su Qu's good.
Xu Qi'an, that woman is a scourge, why did she have to think about her all day long as she came to the City Lord's Mansion Su Qu, and think of her first in everything she did? If it weren't for her, Su Qu wouldn't suddenly ignore him, and he wouldn't let me, a person who protects the city lord, suddenly have to protect a woman, or a Qinglou woman!
Do you think that if you marry into the city lord's mansion, you can fly on the branches and become a phoenix? Stupid and ridiculous woman, no way, you will never be the real lady of the city lord, even if this seat is empty, it can't be you! As long as I don't like Nanfeng, he will definitely not be able to do Su Qu!
Over the years, Su Qu has formed a dependence on Nanfeng, and it seems that he has to ask Nanfeng about his views and thoughts on everything, which makes Nanfeng very satisfied. Suddenly there was one more Xu Qi'an, Su Qu changed, he almost didn't ask Nanfeng about anything, he would ask Xu Qi'an.
......
Anyway, now that Xu Qi'an is dead, no matter how much he Su Qu asks Nanfeng, she won't be able to survive.
The south wind curled the corners of his lips and watched as the candle flickered and finally went out, leaving only a wisp of smoke floating in the air and the darkness behind it.
"Hahaha...... Hahahahaha......ha
.................................
The next day, it was an unexpectedly sunny day, and it seemed that last night's wind was just a wild vocal music made by the gods in the sky.
"Hmm......" Bai Taoli turned over, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the unfamiliar and unfamiliar roof.
I was startled in my heart, and I sat up and remembered some things last night, which turned out to be the City Lord's Mansion...... It's okay, it's okay.
Bai Taoli thought to herself.
She was so frightened that she thought she hadn't come back last night with the snowy night...... Bai Taoli felt that her face was a little hot.
"Meow-meow......" The wood ghost stretched on the ground, screamed a few times comfortably, and raised his head to look at Bai Taoli, "Taoli is early...... Ahh......h
Bai Taoli looked at her for a while, as if she hadn't reacted yet: "Early, early, wood ghost ......"
"Meow...... By the way, what did you do when you were taken by that man last night? The wood ghost jumped onto the bed and looked at Bai Taoli.
"No, he just took me to see the fireworks and the stars." Bai Taoli hugged the wood ghost and said.
"Your face is a little red......"
"Nope." Bai Taoli said.
Okay, okay...... The wood ghost was a little helpless.
"Where's Qi'an?" Bai Taoli got out of bed and looked around the room, but didn't see Xu Qi'an, and looked up again, but there was still no.
"I ...... I don't know, I fell asleep yesterday in a daze," the wood ghost said, "Qi'an was still in this room before I fell asleep......"
As soon as she asked, the wood ghost suddenly remembered that she was in a daze last night as if she heard someone shouting for help, the sound seemed to be nothing, and the wind was very loud, so the wood ghost felt that the wind sounded like a woman's voice, so he didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it, the voice called "Tao Li, Wood Ghost", could it be Xu Qi'an?
"Taoli, did you hear anything last night?" The wood ghost asked suddenly.
"It doesn't seem like there's a ......"
"I seemed to hear Qi'an shouting for help, but the wind was very loud at the time, and I thought I heard it wrong!" The wood ghost hurriedly jumped to the ground and transformed into a human form, "Go find Su Qu and them!" ”
