Chapter 124: Inseparable
It wasn't until the evening that Lou Xue and the others led Chen Lan back to the building, and when they saw that Ding Ruoyu was the only one left in the courtyard, they asked nonsense.
"The high priest said that there was an urgent matter to be dealt with, and he left alone, and he did not know when he would return." Ding Ruoyu rolled his eyes and decided not to go into too much detail with them.
She saw that Chen Lan's eyes showed a loss that could not be concealed.
"Little apprentice, how did you meet the Priests of Snow Country?" Lou Xue asked curiously.
Ding Ruoyu wiped his sweat and said, "Master, I don't know that high priest well......"
Lou Xuehu looked at her suspiciously, with a crazy hint in her eyes, as if she was worried about Chen Lan beside her, and finally didn't ask any more.
After dinner, everyone came to the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, Ding Ruoyu pulled Chen Lan aside alone, and said as if she were homely: "Miss Ye is from Dongye Taijing?" ”
Chen Lan's face changed several expressions for a moment, and she paused before saying, "How could Sister Fuzhou know?" ”
"My surname is Ding," Ding Ruoyu leaned on the railing to admire the moon, didn't look at her, and said with a slight smile on his lips, "The daughter of Dongping Hou." When you reported your name, I remember my father mentioned that Aunt Chen had a sister who entered the palace as a concubine, and the princess she gave birth to was named Ye Binglan. ”
After saying this, she turned her face sideways and said slowly, "We can also be regarded as cousins." ”
"Cousin?" Chen Lan shook his head with a wry smile, and said after a long time, "Seven or eight years ago, the palace had already removed me from the palace and treated me as a dead person. ”
She looked up at Ding Ruoyu, who was more than half a head taller than her, her eyes revealed the gloom and sadness that she had never shown in the death camp before, and teased: "Cousin Ding has a really good memory, and she still remembers some words that have nothing to do with her when she was a child." ”
"yes, a lot of things will be remembered after listening to them once." Ding Ruoyu looked at the bright moon in the sky again, and asked if she had any plans after separating from Sui Han.
"I want to go back to Dongye, but ...... Ye Mingde may not recognize me as a daughter. Chen Lan said, calling his biological father by his name.
"I also want to go back to Dongye," Ding Ruoyu said as he sat on the railing and shook his legs, "I haven't seen my father for nearly ten years, I wonder if he is doing well?" ”
In her eyes, there are not many fetters and attachments of family affection.
Chen Lan suddenly laughed, and she realized that she might have found the same kind.
The huge backyard was empty of individual unoccupied wings, and Lou Xue instructed the maid to clean out a room furthest from the firewood cellar for Chen Lan to live temporarily.
After everything was settled, Lou Xue said to Ding Ruoyu who stayed in her room: "You see that little girl's eyes are wrong, did you know each other before?" ”
"She's a friend of mine in the Dead Quarters, but now, in her eyes, I'm a dead man." Ding Ruoyu fiddled with the snacks on the plate and said.
"Looks like a nuisance." Lou Xue nodded, watching her stack the pastries into a triangular tower.
Ding Ruoyu knows that Chen Lan and Jiang Wenxin are very different, she is innocent and lively on the surface, but in fact she is smart and clever, and she has a lot of eyes, staying in this backyard for a long time, sooner or later she will find something that she shouldn't know.
For example, her own three-system technique, such as Lihong, who is still repairing her body in the cellar......
"I have a way to keep her safe without snooping too much on our side." Ding Ruoyu casually put down the last piece of pastry, but one was not stable, and the tower fell.
Early the next morning, on the grounds that Qinglou was not a place for serious girls to stay, she asked Jiang to lead Chen Lan to the place where Yue Haitian and others lived, and placed her in a large and spacious wing.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to expose her identity as a "senior member of the witch cult", and asked Yue Haitian to instruct the rest of the people to take good care of Chen Lan and not to slack off.
Before leaving, Chen Lan stood at the door to see him off, Ding Ruoyu patted his head in a pretended gesture, and asked Yue Haitian in an exaggerated tone: "The Wanlian girl I saw when I came back last year, is she in good health?" ”
Hearing this name, Chen Lan was shocked again, and her eyes widened.
"The injury is no longer in progress, but he is weak and still has to drink medicine every day to maintain it." Yue Haitian 1510 Road.
Ding Ruoyu took in Chen Lan's consternation, and when he saw that his goal had been achieved, he didn't stay any longer, and said, "In this case, then don't bother her and leave." ”
With Chen Lan's ghost spirit here, she can't make any big waves.
On the way back, she didn't even feel like the sun was so strong.
Beside the boulevard, a horse galloped towards her.
Ding Ruoyu dodged to the side, but the horse also changed direction, vowing to catch up with her.
In desperation, she had to jump up, climb the trunk of the tree next to her, and stand on a thin branch.
The galloping horse suddenly stopped, turned the horse's head, and on the horse's back was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, waving his whip and shouting at her: "Sister En, what are you running?" ”
"Sister En?" Ding Ruoyu stepped on the branches and staggered, puzzled.
"The one who saves people's lives is called Engong, but I thought that you are neither old nor male, so I called Sister En." The boy led the horse restlessly up and down on the ground.
And this kind of statement?
Ding Ruoyu was amused by him, and swept down from the tree, recognizing that it was the child who was relieved by her from her horse in the same place last time.
See you today, his horseback riding skills have improved greatly.
"Kid, are you looking for me?" She smiled, looked at the other party and said lightly.
"Naturally, it's for the sake of making a promise!" The boy said with a serious face.
"Son, whose family are you?" Ding Ruoyu tore him off the horse, and was in a good mood at the moment, planning to educate him seriously.
The boy blinked and said, "My name is Ye Xiang, I am eleven years old this year, and I came to Xiangyun City to learn riding and archery with my uncles." Sister En just call me Xiang'er! ”
"Didn't your family teach you not to trust strangers too much?" Looking at the innocence of this child's face, Ding Ruoyu was embarrassed to say anything serious.
"I've taught, but Sister En's is different, Xiang'er fell in love with Sister En's at first sight!" Ye Xiang pulled her sleeve with his small hand, and even his eyes were extremely serious.
Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but laugh, released his sleeves from his hands, took two steps back and said, "Child, you haven't reached the age of love at first sight, wait two years to talk about these things." Also, I have already been married, and I must never accept your promise again. ”
Seeing the child's pitiful little eyes on the spot, she stepped forward and rubbed his head again and said, "Go back, there are a lot of bad people outside, be careful if you are caught and sent to the net." ”
With that, she thought of her past experience, laughed, waved her hand, and turned to walk the way she came.
Behind him, there was a boy's crisp shout: "If he loses Sister En in the future, he will come to Xiang'er, and Xiang'er will take care of you!" ”
Ding Ruoyu sighed, quickened his pace, and quickly disappeared at the end of the trail.
The moon sets and the sun rises, and finally, the seven-day period has arrived.
Early in the morning, Ding Ruoyu walked back and forth outside the broken firewood room, waiting for the moment when the door opened.
Knowing that she would be absent-minded all day, Lou Xue simply took a vacation and left her to wait outside.
Until after noon, there was still no movement.
The abnormal tranquility spread out a panicked atmosphere, and Ding Ruoyu put his hand on the door frame many times, and restrained himself from pushing it.
She felt that this time she was even more nervous about waiting than if something had happened to her.
The warm wind blew the fine grass on the ground, blowing off a few yellow leaves, some of which fell on her hair, and some of which hit her shoulders.
Three more hours had passed since the seven days and seven nights had been set. She finally drew her dagger and pried open the small wooden door of the woodroom.
Before the deadbolt fell, she quickly reached out and held it up, without making the slightest sound.
She walked quietly inside, and the outside was empty, and it seemed that Lu Shi and Ling Shan were in the cellar.
Closing the door, a small fireball emitted from her palm, reflecting the stairs leading down to the cellar, and she walked silently down.
Through a translucent curtain, in the cellar, which was illuminated by the light into daylight, there were three standing figures, whispering something to each other.
Seeing this, Ding Ruoyu guessed that everything was going well, and he didn't care so much, so he opened the curtain and broke in.
With an exclamation, Ling Shan obviously didn't expect someone to run in, and he was so frightened that he trembled.
Lu Shiyi turned around suddenly, and when he saw that it was her, he breathed a big sigh of relief.
Ding Ruoyu ignored the surprised expressions of the two of them, and stared directly at Li Hong, who was holding a large piece of cloth in front of him.
It's so good to die, and it just so happened that he was changing clothes.
The other two finally reacted to something, and rushed out of the cellar as if they were running for their lives.
Li Hong took two big steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "Turn around, turn around......"
The girl at the door, who had already looked stupid, did not follow his intentions, but just reached out to cover her eyes, and leaked a big finger slit so that she could peep at any time.
As a last resort, Lihong bit his lower lip, and black smoke burst out from his body, instantly extinguishing all the lights in the cellar.
After a rapid grinding sound, the light came back on, and he leaned against a wall, slightly relieved.
"Okay, no?" Ding Ruoyu obviously leaked such a big finger, and pretended not to know anything, which was really hateful.
Li Hong didn't want to pay attention to her, picked up the coat that was put on the side, and pulled the half-length hair from the middle to the back of the ear with one hand, and walked towards the staircase.
The girl in white hurriedly followed him.
The sun of early autumn was not much softer than that of midsummer, and it fell on the two of them, glowing with fine pieces of gold.
Ding Ruoyu suddenly quickened his pace, side by side with him, and quietly hooked his tail finger.
His hands were no longer as cold and piercing as before, but had warmth like a normal person.
Lihong stopped and lowered his eyes to look at her, her ice-like eyes hundreds of years ago, at this moment, there was joy and hidden feelings, making him almost forget that she was no longer the woman in her previous life.
The dirty coat was suddenly thrown to the ground, and he leaned over and embraced her slender but eternally erect body, just as he had parted again and again hundreds of years ago.
But this time, they won't be separated.
