A trace of embarrassment flashed on Xiao Yu's face, but he still stubbornly guarded the door of the Wutong courtyard, resolutely not letting Du Juan and Xuehua cross him into the courtyard behind him.

Seeing this, Du Juan and Xue Hua took a deep look at the closed door in the courtyard in the distance, but after all, they still didn't break through and left slowly.

After the figures of Cuckoo and Xuehua walked away, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, slowly walked to the door of Wutong's room, and whispered to him:

"Childe, Cuckoo Boy and Xuehua Childe have left."

There was no movement in the room for a long time, but Xiao Yu knew that Wutong had heard it.

He frowned, and waited at the door worriedly for a while, before he heard a very weak voice coming from inside the door,

"Little fish, help me boil some hot water, I want to bathe."

Xiao Yu let out a "hitch", a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly ran to the firewood room in the yard to boil hot water, so that he didn't open the door to see the situation of the sycamore.

At this time, Wutong hid in the room, wrapped the thick quilt around his body, and still couldn't help but tremble.

His face was pale, and his eyes wandered away from the unknown, as if there was something in front of him that he did not dare to face.

His hair was already a little disheveled, his forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and even his lips were bloody.

His current appearance was completely different from the gentle and virtuous appearance in the past, he not only looked extremely embarrassed, but also showed a kind of madness, and his arms were unconsciously scratched by his own hands with a few red marks.

Sycamore's mouth muttered "It's not me, it's not me, it's not me......"

It's like a demon.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door to his room.

Wutong was so frightened that he shook his spirit, and asked very sadly and frightenedly, "Who?" ”

Xiaoyu was startled by the stinging voice of Wutong, and then answered softly outside the door: "Hui Gongzi, it's small."

The water has been boiled, does Childe want to bathe now? ”

Wutong heard the sound of the small fish, and only then did he suggest that he let himself relax.

But he knew that it was inconvenient for him to see people in this state now, so he wrapped the quilt tightly, then stabilized his mood, and said to Xiao Yu in the usual gentle tone:

"Go down when you've got everything you need to bathe, I won't have to wait."

This sentence sounded as if there was nothing unusual anymore, but Xiaoyu, who had been with Wutong for many years, still heard a trace of strangeness in Wutong's tone.

He asked with some concern, "Childe really doesn't need to be served by small fish?" ”

There was no sound in the room again.

That's what it means to not be needed.

Xiaoyu bit his lip and hesitated for a long time, but finally obeyed Wutong's words, prepared water and various washing things in the bathroom next to him, and then told Wutong again, and then went down.

Sycamore came to the door wrapped in a quilt, and when he heard the footsteps of the little fish leaving, he took a deep breath and entered the bathroom from the side room.

After he entered the bathroom, he pulled up all the curtains around him, and tightly surrounded the place centered on the bathtub, so that he dared to throw the quilt wrapped around his body aside.

He slowly immersed himself in the hot water, and at the same time, the secret of his body was exposed.

I saw that his whole body was covered with red marks, and at this time, under the stimulation of the hot water, it looked even more hideous and terrifying.

If you look closely, you will find that these red marks are all scars left by injuries caused by weapons such as knives, guns, swords, clubs, and whips.

It is not uncommon for a person to be injured by a weapon. But the strange thing about Wutong's body is that these injuries are too dense, and it doesn't look like they were injured in some competitions or fights at all, but like the result of being deliberately abused.

The origin of the sycamore at the beginning, in fact, is indeed a little unclear, compared to the other three people, the bottom of the sycamore is not as transparent as the yellow warbler, cuckoo, and Xuehua.

Especially now on Wutong's body, there are still these old wounds of unknown meaning.

Wutong trembled and completely soaked himself in the water, and his underwater hands kept picking at the scars on his body, until these scars cracked again, and after the small blood slowly seeped out of the wounds, he let out a long sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

Ever since he followed Huang Ying to meet Apo last time, he had been worried that he would meet Apo and completely expose his hiding for so many years.

So he has been trying his best to avoid having the opportunity to meet Ah Pu, and even the gathering of several people in Yuxiu Garden is not as diligent as usual.

He didn't care if his repeated resignation would arouse the suspicion of Du Juan and Xue Hua. After all, the last time he came back from outside with Huang Ying, his state was noticed by Du Juan and Xue Hua, and he was able to avoid the past by deflecting his poor health.

Fortunately, everyone knows that he is not in good health. The only thing that is not known is the terrible scar on his body.

The reason for his poor health is also related to these injuries.

Wutong has been worried about this in his heart, he can't sleep at night, and his mental state is really much worse, but today he finally got up and wanted to go outside to breathe and communicate with everyone, and he happened to meet Apu.

He always thought that Ah Pu was busy with Princess Jinning, and he never thought that on this day, he would be idle and Huang Ying to hang out in Yuxiu Garden.

Thinking of this, a dark color couldn't help but rise on Wutong's face. He always felt that with Apu's temperament, he would not easily take the initiative to come to this Yuxiu Garden, and it must be Huang Ying beside Apu's side who proposed to Apo like this, so that Apo would come here.

In Wutong's heart, he can't help but hold a grudge against the yellow warbler.

Although he had been in his own courtyard for too long, he didn't really want to be isolated. He is still clear about Huang Ying leaving Yuxiuyuan and going to do the matter of Agui's personal servant.

Wutong originally thought that according to Huang Ying's temperament, Ah Pu would treat him like this, and he would definitely not have a good face for Apu, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, Huang Ying would be loyal to Apu and say everything, looking like he had known each other for a long time.

To be honest, this makes Sycamore really a little unbalanced.

Apo is just a male pet like them now, why can Apo still win people's hearts so easily and make everyone love him?

It's like at the beginning, obviously they were all cornered at the same time, why was Ah Pu able to be pitied and rescued by many people, praising him like a man with iron bones in Beiao, and then being rescued before he died, and he could only be spurned by 10,000 people, saying that he was not worthy of being the descendant of the Xia family and the son of the general of Beiao?

Is it because he is the son of a domestic servant, and Apo is from an orthodox background?

The more Wutong thought about it, the more resentful he became, and the more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became.

From the beginning, the fear of Apo's appearance gradually turned into a twisted hatred.

The malice in his heart grew bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but think in his heart:

Isn't Ah Pu the most popular now? If he had done it to these people who had been enveloped by Apu, would Apo still be loved by everyone?

The corners of Sycamore's mouth slowly grinned, and the grin grew bigger and bigger.

He stood up from the water with a "bang", wiped the water droplets on his body with clean steps, and ignored the wounds on his body that came out from time to time with a drop of blood, and directly put on a clean underwear.

He still had an excited and strange expression on his face, as if he had floated out of the bathroom, came to the table in his room, threw down all the white paper on it, and then found a portrait of Huang Ying that he had made in Yuxiu Garden some time ago.

The yellow warbler in the painting is smiling brightly, looking innocent, and in the eyes of the current Wutong, it feels very annoying.

Wutong's palm slowly stroked the cheeks of the yellow warbler in the painting, his brows were frowned, his eyes were watery, and he looked very sad and reluctant.

He sighed softly, as if in dialogue with the person in the painting, and as if whispering:

"Huang Ying, Huang Ying, you are so kind, so simple, and so beautiful, you must not blame me, right? Actually, I don't want to do this, but who made you a person from His Highness? He won't let me go, so until then, I'll have to leave you alone.

Huang Ying, you must not blame me, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself, abandoned our relationship for so many years, and believed in an enemy who only met us for a few moments. Don't come back to ask for your life, I'll send someone to burn you at this time of year. ”

There seems to be infinite restraint and reluctance in Wutong's tone, but the viciousness in his words is difficult to ignore.

When he had finished speaking, he laughed strangely again, and then hummed an unknown tune, took off the undershirt he had just put on, and exposed the scars of his body to the bronze mirror.

Then, from a locked box, he took out a jar of what looked like a precious elixir, and when he opened it, he heard a faint fragrance.

The jar appears to be colorless and transparent, and it is completely impossible to tell what it is made of. It's just that when Wutong smeared them on himself, those hideous and disgusting-looking wounds all stopped bleeding, and they looked much lighter.

Sycamore didn't seem to feel anything.

He was in a good mood and painted himself all over his body before he took out a new set of clothes from his cupboard and put them on one by one.

After a while, Wutong became the kind person with a gentle face and a seemingly unspeakable person.

He pushed open the door, looked at the small fish that seemed to be waiting for flowers and plants in the courtyard, called him over, and asked him:

"I heard you say that Huang Ying didn't leave with Ah Pu Gongzi, and is still with Du Juan and Xuehua Gongzi, right?"

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he saw that he was back to normal, and he didn't care why Wutong asked him this question, he was very happy that Wutong could come out of the room, and wanted to communicate with everyone, so he nodded affirmatively and replied to Wutong:

"Yes, Gongzi Huang Ying hasn't left yet. When I just went out to fetch water, I happened to meet the elated Xiaoyanagi, who said that Huang Yinggongzi had the approval of Gongzi Apu, and asked him to stay here and catch up with everyone, and Huangying Gongzi stayed very happily. ”

Wutong smiled when he heard this, and said to Xiao Yu: "That's right, just now suddenly felt uncomfortable, it was already a collision with Ah Pu Gongzi, a little illiterate, now Huang Ying is still here, I will go and talk to Huang Ying, let him say good things on behalf of Ah Pu Gongzi, in this way, Ah Pu Gongzi should always be so angry with me." ”

After hearing this, Xiaoyu didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, and said to Wutong very approvingly: "What Childe said is very true.

Although the sudden discomfort of the body is not controllable by man, but it is always a loss of manners from Ah Pu Gongzi.

I heard that Huang Ying Gongzi is staying very well with Ah Pu Gongzi, and he also has something to say with Ah Pu Gongzi, the two of you have been together for so long, Huang Ying Gongzi will definitely not mind helping Gongzi say something good about you. ”

After hearing this, Wutong smiled faintly and said, "In this way, I am relieved." ”

Xiao Yu happily sent Wutong to the courtyard where Huang Ying was, completely unaware that he was thinking about the master, and what unspeakable evil and cruel methods were brewing in his heart at this moment.

After Wutong was in a good mood for himself, he knocked on Huang Ying's door, but he didn't expect that it was not Huang Ying who came to open the door, but Du Juan and Xue Hua.

Wutong's face suddenly froze.

But fortunately, he reacted in time, with a still somewhat pale face, and said to Du Juan and Xue Hua slightly weakly with apologies:

"Cuckoo, Xuehua, are you also looking for Huang Ying? I heard Xiaoyu say that you two came to look for me just now, but unfortunately I was not very comfortable at that time, so I didn't receive you, so I'm really sorry. ”

Du Juan and Xue Hua looked at Wutong, and did not answer Wutong's words, but asked directly, "What are you here for?" ”

Wutong's expression was a little embarrassed for a moment, and a trace of resentment flashed in his heart. However, he quickly covered these looks, pretending to be a little aggrieved and a little pitiful, and said to the two:

"I, I'm really sorry for Huang Ying, and I'm here to ask him.

Huang Ying kindly gave us a good idea, but because I was suddenly frightened and had a problem with my body, I ran away, and I didn't leave a good impression in front of my son, which really shouldn't be, and I also failed Huang Ying's kindness.

I thought about it and felt that this was really undeserved, and I felt very sorry for my behavior at that time, so I came to Huang Ying to talk and say sorry. ”

"Your situation at that time cannot be called as simple as being frightened, but it is very obvious that you have a weak heart." Xue Hua, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke, "Wutong, we've been together for so many years, and there is no need to get to the bottom of some things, but unless you hide something from us, it won't threaten our lives." ”
