Chapter 273: Gain and Loss

After Huan'er sent Xiao Nizi back home safely, according to the rhetoric that Xiao Nizi had arranged for her on the road, she lied to Xiao Nizi's father and mother that Xiao Nizi was helping her wash clothes by the river, and the two accidentally sprained her foot when they were playing, and also soiled the clothes on her body.

Hearing this, although the simple and kind little Nizi's father and mother felt very sorry for their daughter, they finally thought about it in the face of the old lady, and it was also a bump between the two children without intention, and it was no big deal, so they really didn't say anything, but apologized again and again that they were causing trouble to the old lady.

This made Huan'er's heart even more unhappy, obviously because of her carelessness, the two of them not only ran to Dongshan in vain, but also injured Xiao Nizi. Now, instead of being Xiao Nizi's father, she apologizes to her.

For this reason, I suddenly felt a little ashamed of Xiao Nizi's family, pursed my lips, and massaged my ankles for Xiao Nizi very carefully, while staring at Xiao Nizi's big watery and innocent eyes that were also looking at her eyes, and secretly said in my heart: "Xiao Nizi, thank you!"

When I came out of Xiao Nizi's house, it was almost midnight.

In the entire isolated village, a piece of silver-white moonlight is shining on the vast land.

The shallow moaning of the surrounding insects, the gurgling sound of the river, and the faint fragrance of the spring flowers that quietly bloomed that night, the warm and warm spring breeze blowing by, all of them filled the air together, like a huge net woven by the immortals, all the best breath in the quiet night were wrapped in it, and gifted to every ordinary man in the world.

At this time, Ran Huan'er felt that every grass and tree her eyes touched, and all the sounds she heard with her ears, seemed to be so blurry and unreal, and even the whole person was groggy, making people feel like a dream.

But no matter how much she longs for or wants to escape, the reality now is indeed Ruoxi, no, her real identity is the noble eldest lady in the Chengxi Yi Mansion, she was really lost.

When she goes back now, how should she explain to her master? At this time, she only hopes that the road home in front of her can be longer, and preferably never end.

In this way, the two immature little hands inadvertently kept rubbing the corners of their clothes, and their faces were gloomy, and they walked alone on the way home with anxiety and timidity.

When I was about to reach the door, my steps unconsciously slowed down more and more, but I suddenly remembered that the food that I had spilled had not been cleaned up yet, and then I quickened my pace.

"Who cleaned it? Could it be... Old lady? Unexpectedly, when he walked outside the gate, he saw that the ground was already clean and spotless. While muttering in his heart, he was worried and hesitant, and finally reached out and pushed open the door and walked in.

In the extraordinarily clean square courtyard, the begonia flowers of a tree are already green, fat, red and thin, quietly exuding a sense of coldness.

At the east end of the courtyard, in the elegant and quiet east house, under a dim lone lamp, the old woman was sitting peacefully by the table in front of the window, flipping one in her hand

This ancient book.

It was late at night, Xu had waited too long, and finally couldn't help yawning, and then glanced out of the house again, and muttered in some confusion: "It's so late, why haven't these two girls come back?"

Sighing lightly, she couldn't help but think of Lu Tianlin's smile in the daytime, and the old woman fell into the memories of the old things eight years ago with a light smile on her face.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice some sneaky Huan'er hiding outside his door, but he only raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the familiar figure on the ground towards the empty doorway, and then buried his head again and pretended to lay his eyes on the ancient book in his hand, and reprimanded him with some seriousness: "You two are finally back!" Alas, how many times has the old body said that you should be calm in trouble, but why can't you always remember this stupid girl. Why is it always so frivolous? How do you knock a good meal to the ground, don't you know what it means to 'every grain is hard'? ”

After a long time, seeing the shadow on the ground shooting in the door for a long time, she was silent and did not leave, and the old woman thought to herself, could it be that she was too strict, after all, she was still just a child, and it was her nature to be playful. Thinking of everything that happened to the master and servant today, Huan'er must have been frightened.

So, her eyes were no longer staring at the ancient book, but at the shadow on the ground, and asked softly with concern, "Have you both already eaten?" I have left food for you in the house, and if you are hungry, go and eat it. It's very hard to take care of the patient, and after eating, I went to rest early, and Wang Er is okay? ”

Hearing this, Huan'er, who was timidly leaning against the wall outside the door, burst out of her eyes with tears that were already getting fuller and fuller. Then he stepped over the threshold, ran to the old woman, fell to her knees with a thud, hugged the old woman's knees tightly, and hid his face and wept bitterly.

The old woman seemed to be frightened by Huan'er's unprecedented behavior at this time, and hurriedly put down the ancient book in her hand, stroked Huan'er's head, and comforted her: "Silly girl, what's wrong with you?" The old body knows that you have been so frightened and wronged today. It's all my fault, if it weren't for my insistence on rushing to the City God Temple to find Master Xuankong, none of this would have happened. Especially that Lu Tianlin, Lu Gongzi, child, you must know that outsiders are outsiders after all, the so-called 'only three points of words when you see people, but you can't throw away all your hearts', we never know whether he has a ghost in his heart. In this world, there are many people and things that seem innocent and beautiful at first, and as the world changes, many of them will unknowingly, and you and I will inadvertently lose their original pure nature. Therefore, whenever you talk and do things, you must always be careful! Human-faced beast-hearted
