After he left, I lay on the bed and thought nonsense. I don't know what he's like, I don't want to know what he thinks right now, I just want to find out if he really thinks so differently about me.

The cold collapsed, as if warmed up by his presence. But helplessly, my brain is a mess, lying in bed, I can't fall asleep, besides, I went to bed too early last night, I got up too late this morning, and I can't sleep in bed now.

Turning over and over, like a pancake, I turned my head and just saw the red umbrella on the table, and my heart flashed to light.

Turned over and put the quilt aside, got out of bed, put on shoes, took the umbrella and opened the door and went out.

In the corridor, I happened to meet the shopkeeper who didn't know what to go to another room, and happened to see me come out, and greeted me with a smile. I nodded and smiled, and headed downstairs to the middle of nowhere.

After coming out of the inn, I asked all the way who the man who robbed the kiss in the morning was, and Yuan Bao behaved strangely at his appearance many times, and I suspected that he had a secret.

Thinking of this, I tightened the fox robe I was wearing, yawned and rubbed my hands that were already frozen red towards me.

This winter is really too cold.

Near the inn, there were some vendors selling sugar gourds, and I walked over when I saw that he was an old man with a kind face. He took out a few copper plates from his purse, handed them over, and said that he wanted a candy man.

The old man took it with a smile, and soon flipped it in his hand, and a delicate little sugar man came to life and appeared vividly in his hand.

I said, "Grandpa, your hands are so skillful, this sugar man is so good-looking, I can't bear to eat it." ”

"Hahaha, the sugar man is exquisitely made to look at the entrance, the little girl said this is amazing. ”

"Grandpa, what you're doing is really good-looking, by the way, grandpa, do you often set up a stall in this location?"

"It's been thirty years here. What's wrong? But what do you want to ask?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I saw someone robbing relatives this morning, and I think it's very novel, and I want to ask who the person who robbed relatives is, and it's so rampant?"

He looked around, and then looked at me again, and perhaps saw that I was also dressed luxuriously, probably a girl from a rich family, sneaking out to buy these gadgets.

"He's a well-known weirdo in the city, a seven-foot man, and a handsome man. You say, you say he doesn't love men's clothes, but he loves women's clothes. It's really a failure of his Meng family. ”

"Huh?

"A man with a brain problem, the girl is handsome, well-dressed, and must be a young lady from a big family, don't just see that person's appearance, otherwise you will cry in the future." ”

He shook his head and fiddled with the candy man on the stall, it was not too early, he was not allowed to set up a stall in the city at night, and when the sun went down ten minutes, he had to carry his things home.

But he didn't say the point for a long time, I knew that he was the son of the Meng family, but in this huge city, which Meng family was and where he lived, he didn't reveal a word.

Seeing that he waved his hand at me and told me to leave quickly, he didn't want to say more to me, so I couldn't force it, so I had to take the candy man and turn away.

After leaving, I stepped on the crunching snow and walked out of the alley.

When I came out, I saw Deyin running towards me. Seeing me stick my tongue out, crouching on the ground and wagging my tail, I reached out and silently shook his head, and then handed him the candy man in my hand that had not yet moved.

He always liked these things. Holding the candy man, swallowing it a few times, I just happened to meet a person, I am a little familiar, it was when it was the time to rob the kiss, the person standing next to me, I blocked his way, asked: "This little brother, inquire, where does the person who robbed the kiss live in front of me? I have something in his place, I want to find it back, but I don't know where to go." ”

"That psychopath, see clearly the bridge in front of you, after crossing the bridge, his house is by the river, you can see it in the past, go early and return early, the family is very terrified, I advise the girl not to be involved with his family. ”

After saying this, he walked away. Looking at the back, Deyin and I didn't have time to react, and watched his figure disappear.

Then he turned to look at the bridge he pointed to in front of him, not far from the street, the river was very wide and large, it was the flood season, the river was frozen, the water was high, and some of the boats were not placed on the shore, and now they were already frozen with the river in the river.

Calling a German sound, I held the red umbrella in my arms, walked forward, stepped on the slippery, unsteady feet, I had to hold on to the bridge and slowly cross the river.

The bridge deck is not wide or long, just fifty steps, no more, no less, this bridge seems to have a meaning, called what step bridge (unfortunately), if two newcomers walk hand in hand across the bridge, it will become a coincidence, the two together is no coincidence, the marriage is full, and now the bridge will turn all the unfortunate into coincidence, and you have to count the steps. Men are required to go in odd numbers, and women in even numbers, which is a tradition that has continued in this city.

No newcomer can escape the fate of walking across the river hand in hand.

After I walked across the bridge alone, the streets here were not as prosperous as those on the other side, and they were densely wooded, and the environment was quiet and beautiful, and this side seemed to be all streets for people to live in, one house after another, and some of them were separated from each other, and a courtyard house stood alone there.

On top of a dam near the shore, where the land is flat, there is a mansion standing there, and the name on it is indeed Meng's house.

I called Deyin to follow me, and the cobblestone path under my feet was often cleared, but there was no snow and ice. It was very easy to walk, and after a while, I was in front of the Meng Mansion.

Looking at the gilded plaque, this family is really a big family, as for whether they are officials or businessmen, from the plaque, I can't tell for the time being.

Take out the red umbrella and summon the ingots out, so close at the moment, it should be sensitive.

"Yuanbao, Yuanbao, come out and see, is your mother inside?"

After hearing me say about my mother's mother, he came out of his head and hung on my shoulder, his volume was not the size of a newborn baby, only the size of an adult man's palm was an inch longer than the length of an inch, such a size, he was very flexible, like a little monkey, jumping up and down, Deyin had never met him a few times, and now he had only seen him, and called at him several times.

"Deyin, don't make trouble. ”

He stopped calling after I had said this, but fortunately there were very few pedestrians here, otherwise we would have been discovered.

"Mother, mother, well, I can feel that my mother is in here. ”

"Since you're inside, then I'll be sure who your mother is, let's go, let's go in and see how your mother is doing." ”

Got the ingots into the umbrella, I took Deyin up the stone ladder, and then knocked on the closed door, after it was over, waiting for the people inside to come out and open the door, sure enough, within a moment, a person came inside to probe his brain and open a door, looked and asked us what we were doing here.

"This little brother, I'm here to find your son-in-law, something of mine has fallen on him, I want to come and get it back. ”

"Childe, you wait, I'll go to the housekeeper and ask you something. ”

He didn't seem to be sure whether I was telling the truth or not, so he closed the door, shouted to the butler inside, and ran away.

After another moment, the little guy in front of me came out with a chubby butler, and they took turns looking me up and down. The housekeeper was very polite, and when he saw that I was dressed extraordinarily, he was also polite in conversation.

He didn't ask, but politely invited me in.

"Miss, where does your family live, what is your surname, can you tell me a word or two about your father's name, and what did your ancestors do?"

"Eh, I'm sorry, I just came to get something from your son-in-law, and I'll be back soon, butler, you don't have to ask so much, it's useless and a waste of words. ”

"Yes, miss, please come with me. ”

said that he took me directly to see Meng Xia, but the path he took was very remote, everyone said that Meng Xia's brain was not bright, and he had few tendons, so someone saw him, or a beautiful young lady saw him, so the housekeeper couldn't just take me to see him directly, the biggest possibility was that he would take me to the person who was in charge of his family first.

Ponds with hot springs everywhere in his house were frozen, and instead of freezing, there were fish frolicking and flowers blooming all over the place, and the family must have been full of taste.

"Housekeeper, why did your son-in-law go to rob his relatives in the morning?"

"Snatching relatives, he never wants a servant to follow when he goes out, and he won't even take a personal servant, we don't know what he does, you may be afraid that you have recognized the wrong person. ”

"Oh, I recognized the wrong person, okay, but I heard in the mouths of others that your son-in-law doesn't love men's clothes and loves women's clothes?

He paused in front of him to lead the way, and then turned back to look at me again, that look was obviously different from the previous one, if he saw me in front of me as if he was seeing his own young grandmother like flattery, then now it was like seeing an enemy, eagle eyes narrowed, revealing a golden light, very scary, but what kind of person am I, I am not afraid of him at all, and he looked at him for a moment, he was the first to laugh.

"Miss, you are hearing that wronged my son-in-law, my son-in-law is usually both civil and military, although he has fun, loves to sing, and sometimes wears female costumes, but it is not as exaggerated as others say, Miss, don't know Childe from other people's mouths, how is Childe's character, Miss, you came to find him, doesn't it explain everything?"

Then he laughed, really when I was the little girl who fell in love with his son-in-law, with a smile that he understood everything, I also laughed and laughed, and did not break it, but Deyin didn't know what was going on, and called out inexplicably, and the housekeeper was frightened, and called other little girls to take Deyin away and make a noise.

Meng Xia walked out of the corner of the corridor on my left, looking at him, the butler's facial expression changed too quickly, I didn't come to see the truth, Meng Xia saw me, and stepped forward to grab my wrist. Bowing his head and whispering in my ear, in the eyes of others, we are extremely ambiguous.

"Why are you here? I said I would take you home but you didn't come back, but now I'm coming to the door myself?"
