Chapter 208: Courtyard
When Shanzi washed off the makeup on his face in the bathroom of a small restaurant and was about to restore Eugene's identity, he was surprised to find that the shoes on his feet were the limited edition sneakers that Wallace gave him only two days ago......
Ignoring the wailing, Eugene silently calculated the time to run back to the apartment through the alley and the time when Wallace found him, directly opened the bathroom window and jumped out, and ran back with his legs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After more than twenty minutes, Eugene finally ran back to the apartment out of breath.
Before he could catch his breath, Eugene had rushed to the bathroom and started pouring cold water into the bathtub, then quickly undressed himself and soaked himself in the cold water.
The reason for his leave from the hospital today is that he has a cold and fever, if he usually has a cold and fever, he naturally doesn't have to abuse himself like this, but today is different, if Wallace is really suspicious, he will definitely go to the hospital to find him, and if he learns that he is on sick leave, he will definitely come to the apartment to see him, if he is not allowed to see that he really has a cold and high fever and can't walk, Wallace's suspicions will not be dispelled.
The cold water in winter is especially cold, and the water temperature never exceeds 5 degrees. When You Jingang soaked himself in cold water, he still felt comfortable, but he began to shiver in less than two minutes, the cold penetrated through the skin, and penetrated into the internal organs, Eugene gritted his teeth and insisted, in order to make the water cooler, not only the cold water pipe was not turned off, but the shower was also opened, and the cold water was poured down, Eugene was so cold that he shivered, and soon began to sneeze one after another.
After more than ten minutes, Eugene felt that his blood was about to freeze, and thought to himself that if Wallace had not been suspicious at all and had not come to him, this crime would have been in vain.
Just as he was thinking about whether to climb out, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Eugene quickly turned off the cold water, cleaned up in the room, and dragged his heavy steps to open the door listlessly.
Sure enough, there was Wallace standing outside the door, only an hour before the military uniform had been changed into civilian clothes.
"Why are you here?" Eugene whispered, and then, regardless of whether Wallace answered or not, walked back to the bedroom and threw himself on the bed.
He really started to feel sick and hurt all over his body.
"What's wrong with you?" Wallace's eyes were full of concern.
"It's uncomfortable." Eugene hummed with his eyes closed. Now there is a point to pretend to be a ten.
"Why is your hair so wet?" Wallace stroked Eugene's hair and picked up the towel next to him to wipe it for him.
"Headache, just washed my hair." Eugene lay on his stomach and let Wallace ravage on his head.
"Fever?" Wallace touched Eugene's forehead, and the tentacles were cold.
Eugene said in his heart: How can it be so fast, how can it take half an hour. But he just snorted.
"Have you taken your medicine?" Wallace looked around, there was nothing clean, not even a water cup, "Where did you put the medicine?" ”
"The left door of the white cabinet over there." Eugene felt a chill in his body, and casually pulled the quilt and wrapped it around his body.
By the time Wallace boiled water and found the medicine, Eugene was already flushed, looking at Wallace's eyes in a daze.
Wallace touched his forehead again, visibly feeling the temperature rise under his hands.
Half an hour later, Wallace took Eugene, who had a high fever, to the hospital, and the test result: a severe cold.
The next morning, Eli went to see Eugene with flowers and fruit.
Eugene's fever has subsided, but the whole person is wilting and has no energy. Eli sat on the edge of his bed peeling apples while chatting casually, but Eugene understood that yesterday's operation had gone well and that Joshua had returned safely to the East Hill Church.
At the same time, Wallace's office.
Gumir had been standing for more than ten minutes, and Wallace was still buried in the papers, seemingly not seeing him.
Gu Mill did not dare to say anything, and received a call from Adjutant Wallace in the morning, asking him to come to Wallace's office at ten o'clock, and he arrived ten minutes early, and Wallace turned a blind eye to his arrival. Gu Miir muttered in his heart, whether he was early or late.
"Sit down." Wallace finally stood up from behind his desk and motioned for Gumill to sit on the couch.
Gumir slowly took two steps back, and when he saw Wallace sitting down on the couch, he sat cautiously aside.
Wallace continued to be silent, and after a while, he finally said as if he had made up his mind: "You help me check on someone, I want to investigate secretly, but I have to check carefully, especially all his whereabouts in the past six months." ”
Gu Miir nodded: "Yes." ”
"Don't let anyone else know." Wallace picked up the paper bag on the coffee table and handed it to Gumill.
Gumir opened the file bag, pulled out the file and looked at it, his face suddenly changed color, and he looked at Wallace in surprise.
Wallace didn't look at him, he stood up on his own, walked to the window, turned his back to Gumir and said in a deep voice: "You go, I'll give you three days." ”
"Yes." Gu Miir answered, saluted, and withdrew.
Three days later, Gumir handed Wallace a report.
Wallace looked at it for a while, then took out another document from his desk, and compared it to it, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, and finally he grabbed the teacup in his hand and slammed it on the ground.
Gu Mire was already holding a worried heart, standing in shock, and was even more startled when he saw this, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
Wallace asked him to investigate Eugene's whereabouts report for the last six months, but there were several places that could not be found anyway.
Three days was too little, he barely slept in the past three days, and checked everything he could find out that Eugene was actually a mysterious master.
"You go out first, don't let me hear about it from other people's mouths."
After dropping the cup, Wallace's excitement gradually calmed down, and he sat back in his chair and said coldly.
"Yes." As if he had been granted amnesty, Gumir immediately went out and closed the door.
The relationship between Eugene and Wallace, they know a little bit, what is Wallace's purpose for asking him to check Eugene, could it be that the time when Eugene mysteriously disappeared was dating other men?
Gu Miir felt that the fire of his gossip had flickered, but unfortunately, this speculation could only rot in his stomach, and if he said it, his life would be in danger.
In the evening, Wallace returned to the villa and saw Eugene sitting lazily on the sofa in a light-colored lounge suit, bored flipping through a book.
Wallace hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and sat down next to Eugene: "Have you taken your medicine?" ”
Eugene: "Hmm. ”
Wallace: "Better?" ”
Eugene: "Hmm. ”
Wallace: "Why are you still so unmotivated?" ”
Eugene: "Boring. ”
Wallace: "Won't let you out and get angry?" ”
Eugene: "Don't dare. ”
Wallace: "The day before yesterday, you had a fever of 40 degrees, and you were locked up to let you rest." ”
Eugene: "Hmm. ”
Wallace: "I don't have anything to do tomorrow, if you are bored, I will accompany you to the villa outside the city for a day, okay?" ”
Eugene's eyes rolled and he turned to look at Wallace: "Villa outside the city?" ”
Wallace nodded: "Although the scenery there in winter is not as good as in spring and summer, you can also go for a break and relax." ”
"Just the two of us?" Eugene asked.
Wallace nodded.
Said it was two, Wallace's bodyguard must have followed, a little less than what he had seen on the street three days ago, a guard car, two adjutants, and four personal guards.
After following Wallace for so long, Eugene naturally knew that Wallace had a villa outside the city, which was originally the yard of a century-old family in the old city. I heard that the scenery in the garden is good, but I have never had the opportunity to go.
Out of the city, the road was not easy, the car bumped all the way, and when Eugene was about to run out of patience, the convoy finally stopped in front of a house.
Eugene got out of the car and looked up, there was a plaque hanging above the house, with two big words "Rest Garden" written on it.
"How are those two words written?" Wallace asked in a low voice beside Eugene.
"General." Eugene naturally recognized these two words as coming from Wallace's hand, and deliberately angered him.
Wallace was bored, but he didn't mind, and smiled: "Go in, it's cold outside." ”
Eugene was a little embarrassed, and said after Wallace: "It's very courageous." ”
"Words, or this house?" Wallace asked, turning around.
"Both." Eugene replied casually, and walked past Wallace and walked through the door first.
Eugene naturally said the word, Wallace is a military general, between the lines of the natural look at the world of the spirit, write Luo Wen so, write more attention to the structure of the font, the charm of the Yanguo text, this momentum is also more obvious.
Although the house is more than 100 years old, one is built by a merchant family, Wallace bought it only slightly repaired, and the second is used for vacation when it is built, although it is far less graceful than the Jiangnan garden, but it is also subtle and hazy, euphemistic and tortuous, and masculine is far from masculine.
Wallace has been in Yanguo for a long time, and he has studied the culture of Yanguo, and he can hear that Eugene is praising him, but the look in his eyes is a little obscure, and he is a little distracted when he looks at Eugene's back.
Most of the high-gate houses are equipped with a wall at the entrance gate, the style of the courtyard can be seen from the pattern of the wall, the pattern carved by the main house is strong and majestic, and the courtyard is bound to be simple and atmospheric. If it is a pattern of delicate brushstrokes of flowers, plants, fish and insects, it is mostly a leisure courtyard.
The walls are simple, and the courtyard is not too luxurious.
The wall of the garden is inlaid with glazed tiles, orchid and butterfly patterns, which are extremely gorgeous in the sun, and Eugene involuntarily stops in front of the wall, as if he feels hurried, sorry for such a finely carved wall.
"The original photo wall is broken, I asked people to make a new one, do you like it?" Wallace's voice came from behind him.
"I'll just say, this house has gone through more than 100 years, how can Zhaobi protect it so well." Eugene said deliberately. He can naturally tell at a glance whether it is something new or not, and what can be seen is that he is very familiar with the pattern of the wall, which should be modified according to the "masterpiece" of his hand-scribbled graffiti.
Eugene can't say what kind of feeling it is in his heart, there is sweetness, there is moving, and there is sadness.
After 300 rounds of battle with Wallace a few days ago, Wallace seems to have said that he would give him a gift, could it be this courtyard? However, it is estimated that it has been invalidated on that day.
Eugene was with Wallace for the sake of the mission, and his initial feeling for Wallace was that he didn't hate it, and it was for the mission that he had to be eaten and wiped clean. But Wallace is really caring and considerate of Eugene, and Eugene naturally does not fall in love with him, but he is inevitably touched by his love occasionally.
Turning the wall, there is a plum forest, and a few plum trees mixed in it are blooming in the cold, and the air is wafting with the fragrance of plums.
Plum blossoms bloom two months earlier than plum blossoms, and they are not lonely when planted together.
Behind Merlin is a blue brick and blue tile main house and two wings, if the door is not a soldier with a gun, but a robe and a horse coat, with a face or honest, or attentive servant, Eugene must feel that he has entered the long river of history.
"Are you tired, let's go in and rest?" Wallace asked.
Eugene frowned slightly, since last night, he felt that something was wrong with Wallace, and seemed to care too much about him, although Wallace was also good to him on weekdays.
"It's too cold, your illness is just right, go in and warm up, I'll let them make your favorite coffee, if you want to shop, rest for a while and then go." Wallace mobilized.
Eugene nodded impassively and followed Wallace into the room.
The thick curtain kept the cold wind out, and two smokeless charcoal fires were placed in the room to keep the whole room warm.
Eugene took off his coat and handed it to the orderly who followed, and another orderly walked in with two cups of fragrant coffee, and sure enough, it was Eugene's favorite Blue Mountain.
The furnishings in the room seem to be the original owner's, antique, the sofa is Nanmu, but the cushions are new, and it is very comfortable to sit on.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Wallace asked, sitting next to Eugene.
Eugene looked at him and asked, "You brought the chef with you?" ”
Wallace smiled faintly and nodded.
"Whatever." Although the chef on Wallace's house is good, it is far worse than Dick's, but fortunately, Eugene is not picky, what to do and eat.
"I'll take care of some things first, and if you want to go out for a walk, ask David to accompany you." Wallace stood up.
Eugene nodded, David was one of Wallace's lieutenants, and even if he didn't call David, David would follow him.
The rest garden covers a large area, in addition to the plum forest in front, there is a lotus pond in the back garden, the surrounding or rockery arch bridge, the cloister pavilion, or the stone path, the flower garden meadow, and three or five small courtyards scattered among them, not to mention five steps and a scene, ten steps, after a hundred steps, it is a scenery again. As you can imagine, when the trees are in full bloom, this place is indeed like a paradise.
After Eugene walked around, he was led by David to the small courtyard with the Nine Heavens Garden written on it.
Near the door of the small courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is a towering rockery, the mountain is a small pool overflowing with water, the small pool is frozen with thin ice around it, but the water in the pool is flowing, falling down along the stone wall of the rockery, forming a beautiful artificial waterfall, there is a layer of white ice flowers on both sides of the waterfall, but it is more beautiful than the waterfall in summer.
Diagonally opposite the waterfall are three bright tiled houses.
