Floating embers, not knowing each other (3)
Shen Yao has been very unquiet recently! Since Fu Jingtang next door moved in, Shen Yao began to torture every day.
For example, when Shen Yao was comfortably sipping tea in the courtyard, a head would suddenly pop out of the wall, scaring her into shock! For example, when standing in the attic, you will see Fu Jingtang on the opposite side looking at her with a smile!
Every now and then, Shen Yao had the urge to screw his head off! But at this time, she often saw another person she didn't want to see.
Shen Yao in the attic naturally saw Zhao Xun standing outside the door. She looked at them with a little headache, so she simply ignored them and went into the house!
The moment she turned around, Fu Jingtang's face in the attic next to her changed. He looked at Zhao Xun outside the door, different from the way he smiled just now, at this time he looked at it with a look in his eyes, snooping. Just as a predator watches his prey being targeted by a predator, it is a gaze with a very aggressive intensity!
Xu felt this gaze, and Zhao Xun, who was waiting outside the door, looked up and thought about it, and finally froze in the attic next to Shen Yao. At this time, Zhao Xun didn't understand how a young man who looked like a scholar could have such sharp eyes like an eagle! But the experience of being a child of a family told him that the aura exuded by this person was definitely not simple!
It's just that he doesn't understand, when did such a person appear next door to Shen Yao? This person has to check it carefully, after all, no situation is allowed on Shen Yao's side at this time......
At that time, Shen Yao didn't know that the two most important people in her life were all making their own calculations. One by one, they are calculating her!
The summer passed quietly in Shen Yao inadvertently, and the breath of late autumn came to her face. The trail, which was still drizzling in the morning, was still drizzling.
Shen Yao walked on the muddy road with a basket on her shoulder!
Shen Yao has always disliked rainy weather! It's not just that she doesn't go out, but every time she goes out, she always gets her clothes dirty! Shen Yao couldn't help but sigh a little when she looked at the shoes that had been glued to the mud. I was in a good mood and became depressed at this time! I just want to go home quickly and change into dirty clothes.
But while walking, the road that was originally a little slippery slipped at this time because Shen Yao didn't step on it steadily! Just when Shen Yao's body leaned back and was about to hit the ground. There was no pain as expected! Shen Yao opened her eyes with some confusion and took a look, but saw Fu Jingtang holding herself, looking at her with the usual smile!
Seeing this, Shen Yao immediately got up from him. There was some discomfort on his face.
Fu Jingtang hurriedly spoke, "Miss Shen, you have to pay attention, it's easy to slip on your feet this day, beware of falling!" ”
It was originally a word of concern, but to Shen Yao's ears, it seemed to be laughing at her! Glared at him and walked away in a rage. Fu Jingtang stood in place and scratched his head suspiciously!
When she got home, Shen Yao hurriedly closed the door, and then leaned against the door panting! The hand covered the hot face, and then there was a beating in the heart. Shen Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the uncomfortable feeling. He cursed in a low voice, and Fu Jingtang's guy ......
For several days, the weather was dripping with light rain. Shen Yao sat bored by the window and watched the rain fall, and suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside the courtyard, Shen Yao thought it was Zhao Xun again, so he didn't move. But as the knock outside the door became weaker and weaker. Shen Yao felt a little strange! Meaning got up and went to open the door, as soon as he opened the door, Shen Yao was pressed by a figure! Exclaimed, it was actually a girl, Shen Yao saw that her lips were white, and she was lying unconscious at this time.
Seeing this, Shen Yao helped her into the house! Later, it was found that she had a fever, perhaps a cold. So he hurried out with an oil-paper umbrella.
And this scene was seen by one person.
After Shen Yao left, the woman, who was originally so weak that she was unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes, only to see her sitting up from the bed and looking at her surroundings! How can there be half a weak appearance.
I saw the woman stand up and walk around, looking around, as if looking for something. But every time she saw the finances, she didn't move, it seemed that money was not her goal!
After a brief search to no avail, the man fell into deep thought. But at this moment, I suddenly felt a breath! She turned around immediately, but at that moment a knife was pressed against her neck!
The woman couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw the face of the visitor, and looked at the knife against her neck with a hint of jealousy.
"What do you do?" The woman looked at her and said angrily.
I saw that the person's eyes were slightly cold, and her eyes made her feel a little cold behind her. "What are you going to do!"
The woman snorted coldly, "I want to ask you this!" It's been this time, you haven't found anything yet, and the pavilion master is very angry! What do you think I'm here for? ”
"You don't have to worry about my business! You'd better not get involved," the man put away his knife, turned around, and slammed the back of his knife on the table beside him.
"Jade Noodles, I'll remind you! The Pavilion Master is running out of time for you, and if you can't complete the task, someone will complete it! When the time comes, it's not about doing what you want! The woman looked at his back, with a hint of admonition in her tone.
"You don't have to worry about my business! You'd better not plug it in, and the most important thing is that Shen Yao, don't touch her! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you on your way in person! At this time, as soon as the words fell, there was a sound in the courtyard outside the door, and the two of them suddenly became vigilant.
At this time, Shen Yao came back with the medicine. When she entered the door, she found that the girl was still so weak, she touched her forehead, and it became more and more hot, so Shen Yao hurriedly went to boil the medicine.
After Shen Yao fed her the medicine and drank it, the woman's fever subsided, and Shen Yao was also relieved. It wasn't long before the woman woke up. Looking at Shen Yao in front of him, he was a little puzzled, struggling to get up. Seeing this, Shen Yao hurriedly helped her up and leaned on the bed, and asked her who she said and why she was here!
The woman said that her name was Xiaolai, and that her family lived far to the west, but there was a flood in her hometown, and her mother died early, and her stepmother wanted to sell it. He finally escaped, but he was infected with the wind and cold and knocked on Shen Yao's door in a hurry.
After listening to this, Shen Yao felt some sympathy for this girl, but felt that her experience was somewhat the same as her own.
Faced with Xiaolai's homelessness, Shen Yao let her live first. Anyway, I'm lonely, and it's good to have someone.
Time flies, Shen Yao has been in Moxian for almost a year, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Yao is a little bored pulling Xiaolai to shop the lanterns on the street! But Shen Yao always felt that something was missing. Suddenly, Fu Jingtang's face flashed in his mind, and it seemed that he hadn't seen him for a while, and he didn't know what this guy was doing? He was shocked why he wanted to go, so he shook his head and continued to walk!
When Xiaolai was very happy, in Xiaolai's own words, he had never visited the lanterns since he was a child, and the only lantern when he was a child was broken by the neighbor's child! Shen Yao patted her on the shoulder, walked to a stall and picked out a lantern to give to her!
Then Xiaolai smiled like a child. Shen Yao suddenly laughed as well. She suddenly felt a little envious that she could still laugh so happily!
Suddenly, Shen Yao found that not far away, Zhao Xun was standing in front of her in plain clothes and looking at her! Then Zhao Xun thought that she came over, and she was still carrying a string of sugar gourds in her hand.
The little one on the side walked away with a comprehension. Leaving Zhao Xun and Shen Yao standing opposite each other at this moment!
"Xiao Yao, Happy New Year!" Zhao Xun picked up the rock sugar gourd in his hand and handed it to her!
In a year's time, Shen Yao didn't treat him coldly as he did at the beginning, and the two seemed to have returned to the days in Beijing, but they were not as close as they were then!
Shen Yao looked at the rock sugar gourd in a daze. After hesitating for a moment, he took it and said thank you!
"Let's go! It's rare that I don't have official business today, so it's good to accompany you to visit the lanterns in this Moxian County! Zhao Xun looked at Shen Yao with a smile. For a while, Shen Yao seemed to remember those days in Beijing! Every year, they always sneak out, and like this year, they carry a string of sugar gourds and take her hand through the streets and alleys of Beijing. Finally, put the river lantern and make a wish to each other!
Only now, Shen Yao suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour. Nodding and walking down the street with him.
Walking to the crowded street, Zhao Xun walked while reminiscing about those things in previous years. Occasionally, Shen Yao could still see the smile on his face! Shen Yao suddenly became a little puzzled, she suddenly wanted to ask him, can it really be done as if nothing happened?
But in the end, it was not spoken. couldn't help but look at the sugar gourd in her hand, she couldn't remember when it started, she hadn't eaten it for a long time. Maybe just like Zhao Xun asked her that day, maybe she never liked to eat, just because she liked the person who bought the sugar gourd!
Just now...... Shen Yao suddenly figured out something! Suddenly stopped, looking at Zhao Xun in his memory, he suddenly stopped him.
Zhao Xun looked at her strangely, thinking that something was wrong with her, "What's wrong?" ”
"Zhao Xun" Shen Yao suddenly looked at him.
"What's wrong?" He looked at her with a smile, dazed and tender, and his eyes were full of her everywhere he looked.
Shen Yao suddenly hesitated, and didn't know what to say about the words that were originally in her mouth!
"I ...... I'm a little tired! Shen Yao still didn't say anything, and found an excuse to say to him.
"Then I'll send you back!" Zhao Xun saw that her face was a little tired, and immediately said.
Shen Yao shook his head and refused, said that this place was not far from home, and left by himself! At Shen Yao's insistence, Zhao Xun did not send her, but told her to be careful on the road.
Shen Yao nodded and smiled at him and left.
The moment he left, Zhao Xun, who was originally smiling, suddenly dimmed, looked at Shen Yao's back and smiled bitterly! He felt more and more that between him and her, it seemed that he could never go back to the way he used to be!
Zhao Xun has been on the street for a long time, and unlike people who come and go with happy faces, Zhao Xun at this moment is with a strong atmosphere of sadness. It is in contrast to the lively street market. I don't know how long I stood there, but I finally left.
Here, Shen Yao returned home. She was just about to go in, but she saw a white figure sitting on her threshold!
Shen Yao walked in and saw that it was Fu Jingtang, who had disappeared for many days.
"Why are you here?" Shen Yao looked at Fu Jingtang in front of him with a somewhat happy tone.
"I'm waiting for you!" Fu Jingtang laughed unconsciously when he saw her come back, suddenly remembered something, and groped for a small paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Yao. Motioned for her to take it
Shen Yao took the paper bag, and Xu was still carrying his temperature in the sleeve. When I called, there were a few chestnut cakes inside, but they were almost broken!
Shen Yao smiled and looked at him. Fu Jingtang felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. I wanted to reach out and take it, "It's all broken, you better give it back to me!" ”
Shen Yao dodged for a moment, smiled and picked up a piece of crushed chestnut cake and put it in his mouth. It's sweet! She looked at Fu Yuantang with a smile, her eyes bent like that moon.
"It's delicious! Thank you. ”
"It's good if you like it, I'll come back to my hometown these days, and when I come back, I will bring you some if I see something for sale, I don't know if you like it or not!" Fu Jingtang looked at Shen Yao nervously like a child at this time.
Seeing her nodding, Fu Jingtang smiled even more happily. Suddenly, there was some snow, Shen Yao asked him to hurry home, and he turned around and prepared to go in!
"Shen Yao!" Fu Jingtang suddenly stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yao turned her head to look at him.
"Happy New Year!" Fu Jingtang said.
Shen Yao smiled, looked at Fu Jingtang and said, "Happy New Year, Fu Jingtang!" ”
The snow seems to be getting heavier! It fell to the ground silently and disappeared in an instant!
