Chapter 5 Rising Again
It was sunrise, but it was still rainy, and there was no trace of sunshine.
The white smoke is light, and everything is silent.
There was only the faint sound of rain, as if it drowned out everything.
Bai Qiuchi gently pushed open the door and took a silent step.
Why did you sleep so deeply last night?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rustling of grass and trees, the small sound of clothes rubbing against each other, certainly did not escape his ears.
He stepped a little and flew to the rockery and hidden.
"You...... You can't ...... me like that," a woman's voice was slightly crying, and when she saw that there was no response, she comforted herself, "You won't be like this. ”
Bai Qiuchi quietly poked his head out.
Her snow-colored clothes made her pale as paper, and her weakened body was as thin as a piece of paper.
Wan'er!
She desperately grabbed the sleeve of the man who wanted to leave, as if she had used her last strength to ask him, "Do you even talk...... Don't you want to say another word to me? Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? ”
Hearing her say this, the man in the filial clothes with his back turned around.
Hu Yanshi! Bai Qiuchi gasped, it was him again!
He said coldly, "Do you really believe it? ”
"I believe everything you say." Wan'er cried but said firmly.
"But I lied to you." After saying coldly, Hu Yanshi pushed her away and walked away quickly.
"No...... No......" Wan'er grabbed him unwillingly, but he shook his hand away again.
With all her strength, she slipped and sat down on the gravel path. The cold stone, the piercing pain spread, but what is it compared to the pain in the heart?
"Don't pester me again!"
"You ......" Wan'er lowered her head, didn't get up, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell are you...... What do you think of me? ”
Hu Yanshi didn't stop, and said coldly without looking back: "Tools!" The merciless words echoed in the rain and returned to Wan'er's heart, over and over again.
She slowly struggled to get up from the hard and cold stone road, her body was covered with mud, and her wounds were painful from the rain, but she stood up straight, weak but firm, staring at Hu Yanshi's back as she gradually moved away, not moving at all, like a stone sculpture, waiting for her master to turn back.
But he didn't.
She could only watch him disappear into the smoke and rain, without the slightest nostalgia.
Bai Qiuchi could only see the back of Wan'er who stopped sobbing, and only felt that a weak woman like her looked different from the original, as if she had a firm belief in her body, and after the instant collapse, another belief was suddenly re-established.
He didn't know what was going on between them, but he felt that the young master was getting more and more suspicious.
Wan'er began to walk, fluttering, not like she was walking, but like she was wandering. In addition, the bun was scattered in the middle of the pulling, the black hair was fluttering, and the green silk was elegant, covering the pale face, pale lips, and empty eyes, and it seemed that he had become a living dead man who no longer felt it.
Bai Qiuchi didn't see it, a sharp light full of hatred flashed in her eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While having breakfast, Bai Qiuchi was still seriously thinking about a series of things.
There was a noise outside the door, and the chaotic footsteps came from far and near.
"Did you find it?"
"Nope!"
"Look for it again, look for it separately!"
Bai Qiuchi pushed the door and saw what Steward Mo was looking for, and everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot, but their faces were expressionless.
Seeing him, Steward Mo hurriedly rushed over, "Bai Daochang, it's not good!" Lord......"
"What's going on?"
"Gone...... The lord is gone! ”
What the! Master Hu is missing!
"When did you not see you?"
"Cui'er, who delivered breakfast today, found that the master was not in the room."
"Who was the last to see the master?"
"This ......"
"It's a villain." A guy passed by, "Villain Ah Liang, do things in the room." ”
"You mean the last time you saw you?"
"Yes, not long after Bai Daochang left last night, the old man called the villain to collect the tea set, and then rested."
"Are you sure the master is back in the room?"
"This ...... The villain has been in the room since then. ”
"Then didn't you see the master go back to the room?"
"The direction the master is walking is the room......"
Bai Qiuchi sighed in his heart, the direction is to go back to the room, and he may not necessarily go back to the room......
"You've been in the room?" Bai Qiuchi asked suddenly.
"Huh? Villain...... The villain has been ......" Ah Liang didn't expect him to ask again, he was startled, and replied hesitantly.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Bai Qiuchi knew in his heart, and said to Steward Mo, "Can you offend and go to the master's room?" ”
"Please." Steward Mo leads the way.
"Steward Mo, forgive Poor Dao for taking the liberty of asking you a few questions."
"Chief, please. Mo replied truthfully. ”
"How offended." Bai Qiuchi asked in a low voice, "Master and Mrs. ......?"
"They are the right people, talented and beautiful. Since Mo was managed by the Hu family, they have always respected each other like guests, loved each other, and loved each other. Mrs. is virtuous, and when the old man started from scratch, he made the dowry as capital, and later the family business flourished and he was happy to add a noble son. The young master has been well educated since he was a child, has a gentle personality, has both ability and political integrity, is filial piety and respectful to his superiors, and never scolds even our subordinates. Until that fire three years ago...... Everything has changed......"
"The fire three years ago?" It's that fire three years ago again!
"Bai Dao Chief, it's here."
Push the door and see, everything is neat and clean. Compared with the guest room, the old man's room is much more elegant, without so many luxuries. There are four paintings hanging on the wall, which are the lotus of the four seasons, which are delicate and lifelike.
"This is the master's proud work. There are also thousands of famous lotus paintings in the bookcase. The old man's sketches are even more innumerable, and they are stored in the warehouse. ”
"My lord has always been happy with Lian?"
"No, after that fire three years ago."
Lift the bead curtain, the beads are so strange.
"This bead?"
"Oh, it's made of lotus seeds. If it rots, redo it. It's just that the climate here is humid...... Maybe the old man is well maintained, and he hasn't changed it a few times. ”
Approaching the bed, it was not like an ordinary bed, it was a bed made of lotus branches. Not only the bed, but also the tables and chairs are made of lotus. The whole room is filled with lotus fragrance, faint and faint.
"I didn't go to bed last night. That...... Who was in the old man's room last night? Bai Qiuchi groaned, "Steward Mo, please call the family member who watched the night last night." ”
"Were you all here last night?"
"No, we've only been here seven or eight times."
"Hu Mansion is too big."
"Then you guys, what's unusual when you pass by?" Bai Qiuchi stared at them.
"No......"
"Huh? I remember! A family member patted his head, "Last night I saw Ah Liang sneaking over to the young master's room. ”
"Aliang? Is that the guy who last saw the master last night? Steward Mo's eyes sharpened, "Go and call him over!" ”
"Yes!"
