Chapter 151: Thrilling
Wen Yu took Ah Yu and the others to the city gate, and before them, people had already entered the city gate one after another. Riding on a bantam horse, watching the advancing procession from afar, King Le returned to the carriage, and his guards surrounded the carriage, not knowing what he was guarding against. The officers and men guarding the gate had already learned their identities, and after a few brief questions as was customary, they let them into the city.
There were a lot of people in front of the queue to enter the city, and Ah Yu felt that it was their turn to enter the city after waiting for a long time.
It's a pity that in the process of waiting, no matter what she said to her brother, she couldn't get a reply, and her brother even deliberately kept his distance from her.
"I've never seen him look so angry......" Wen Yu glanced at Wen Huan's back, turned back to Ah Yu and said.
Ah Yu really couldn't figure out why Wen Huan was so angry, she also wanted to get a point or two from her uncle, who knew that even Uncle was the first time to see Wen Huan so angry, except for sighing twice, he didn't see anything else to say.
Seeing that after entering the city gate, Wen Huan, who was walking alone on a horse, was walking farther and farther, and Ah Yu felt very uncomfortable.
The carriage was not unguarded, she just didn't say hello to Wen Huan, so she got off the carriage directly and went to find her uncle Wen Yu. During this period, Wen Huan really couldn't see his every move clearly, but Wen Yu on the side saw it clearly.
She didn't put herself in danger, nor did she go stupidly knowing that there was danger ahead.
So, what kind of person is Wen Huan angry about?
Ah Yu used to hear people say that a woman's heart is a needle under the sea, but at this time, she felt that a man's mind might not be shallow, after all, she had never guessed through her brother's thoughts, not before, and not now.
Thinking about things on the road, all your thoughts are placed elsewhere, and only some afterglow falls on the road ahead, so it is easy to have an accident.
No, before Ah Yu could come up with a reason, she was almost hit on the head by peanuts falling from the sky, and she watched the peanuts pass in front of her eyes.
Subconsciously looked at where the peanuts came from, and she saw that the window on the second floor of the teahouse next to her was ridged, and the child was by the window, half of his body had already leaned out of the window, and he waved stupidly to the crowd below, so that Ah Yu, who saw him, couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, for fear that he would accidentally fall down the next moment. Underneath the window was an unobstructed open space, and if someone fell from above, there was a good chance that they would fall out of their bodies, and if they were unlucky, they would lose their lives on the spot.
Fortunately, a large hand grabbed the child and dragged him back into the house.
Ah Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to lower his head, but when he saw the half-hidden window, half of his face suddenly appeared, it was Xie Huai'an, who had just disappeared from the crowd.
However, before Ah Yu could take a closer look, the window was slammed shut.
The sound of closing the window was actually not loud, because the other people around had not noticed the second floor of the teahouse, but in Ah Yu's opinion, the person who closed the window on the second floor moved too quickly, so that she unconsciously matched the action of closing the window with a loud sound in her heart.
When Xie Huai'an was at the gate of the city before, he saw Ah Yu standing with Wen Yu and the others, and he also saw Ah Yu's move of planning to go to him, so he quickly made a conclusion about the matter, and hurriedly blended into the crowd, not to continue to entangle with King Le and others.
He pinched Maomao's face, looked at the child's silly smile, shook his head, and said, "Who told you to throw peanuts around, you almost hit someone just now!" ”
Mao Mao's hands and feet pushed Xie Huai'an hard, and he happily shouted Ah Yu's name: "It's Lu Yu!" ”
Xie Huai'an didn't expect that Mao Mao hadn't seen Ah Shen for several months, but he still remembered Ah Yu's appearance, and even his enthusiasm for Ah Yu was unabated, which was really strange enough.
He let go of his hand, and instead stroked the child's hair, and sighed: "If the incident at the city gate hadn't happened, we would have been able to visit Ah Yu in two days, but unfortunately we can only stay away from her now......
Mao Mao's little short hand waved around, but he couldn't knock off Xie Huai'an's hand, his movements stiffened for a moment, and then he looked at Xie Huai'an suspiciously, and he didn't know whether he wanted to ask, or simply failed to understand what he said.
Xie Huai'an was used to talking to himself, but he didn't care so much about Maomao's reaction.
He said: "The two of us are guilty of King Le today, and there is only one last bit of good time left, and when I return home, I will definitely be chased by my father from the front door to the back door, without breaking a horsewhip, he will not stop, I can't say that this time a horsewhip is not enough for my father to play......"
"Anyway, I will definitely be beaten and can't get off the ground, and my father and mother can't take the initiative to find someone else's little girl, so you have to wait until I'm healed before you can follow me to see Ah Yu!"
Mao Mao's face instantly became complicated, but Xie Huai'an lazily sat on the wooden chair on the side, put his right hand on his side casually, picked up the teacup on the table with his left hand, and took a shallow sip.
On the other side, Ah Yu's absent-mindedness was finally discovered by Wen Huan in front of him.
The depression in Wen Huan's heart has not dissipated, and it is not Ah Yu who is angry, but himself.
Since the Lantern Festival that year, every time he goes out with Ah Yu, most of his attention is on Ah Yu's body, and he doesn't dare to let Ah Yu leave his sight for half a minute, although this idea has not intensified because of the passage of time, but it has not weakened a little.
Even when he really can't take care of Ah Yu, he must first place Ah Yu before he can do other things, otherwise he will be in a trance all the time and can't do anything.
He was angry with himself in his heart, and he knew that Ah Yu was taken care of by Uncle and others, and he didn't need to bother too much, and he didn't even have the heart to react to the outside world.
In the end, it was no longer the youth he used to be, and Wen Huan didn't sulk for a long time, so he quickly adjusted his mood.
Only then did I realize that he had been at the forefront of the crowd since I didn't know when, and Uncle and Ah Yu were still behind, and the distance between the two groups of people was a little far.
He rode on his horse and looked back, and at a glance he saw the little girl in a trance.
When he sulked before, although he didn't react to the outside world, he was not unconscious, and now in retrospect, he can still remember that the little girl took the initiative to greet him, but he didn't get a little response.
Although the streets in the city are wide, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and there is no room for a single person to turn around and turn back.
Wen Huan drove his horse to the side of the road, waiting for the people behind to catch up.
"Ahh......h
Ah Yu stared in the direction of the voice, and the moment she saw her brother, she subconsciously wanted to walk to Wen Huan's side, but for a while she forgot that she was still on the horse, if it weren't for the residual reason that made her tighten the reins in her hand, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground headfirst at this time.
If she saw Mao Mao by the window just now, and almost rode her horse straight over, then she now grabbed the reins, shook a big circle from the bantam horse, and sat back in place dangerously, and Wen Huan, who witnessed everything next to her, had already rushed up.
The first thing he did when he came to Ah Shen was to let Ah Shen dismount.
The group came to a sudden halt, causing those who followed them to take a detour.
Wen Huan lifted his sleeves, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Ah Yu should go back to the carriage first, if the matter just happened again, I am afraid that I will have to live a short life for several years!" ”
It was only after Ah Yu got off the horse that she realized how thrilling her actions were just now, and when she didn't pay attention, it was okay to really focus on that matter, and then fear followed. She even forgot to ask Wen Huan how to deflat!
She returned to the carriage from her heart and looked at Qingrui.
The first thing a wanderer should do when he returns home is, of course, to visit his elders.
Ah Yu didn't even go back to his own yard, so he followed behind Wen Yu and went to see Mrs. Wen together.
The scenery in the Wen Mansion is still the same as in Ah Yu's memory, looking up, there are still a little snow from yesterday left between the huge canopy, hidden among the branches and leaves, and have not melted in the sun.
“…… It's all back. Old lady Wen listened to the greetings of the group, his eyes swept over them one by one, and finally stopped at Ah Yu's body, and after a few months, the little girl seemed to have lost a little weight.
The people in the courtyard were very neat, except for a few old men who also needed to work in the yamen, the other people gathered in the courtyard of Old Lady Wen, and even Mrs. Wen was standing aside with a few months-old children.
The little baby was wrapped in thick swaddling clothes, and the person was held by the nurse and stood in a sheltered place, and from a distance he could only see the appearance of the swaddling clothes, and he could not see the appearance of the child at all.
Ah Yu's eyes swept over the swaddling clothes, and she wanted to go to the nurse immediately to see what Lemon looked like now, but in fact, her face was extremely pale, as if what was in front of her was not her biological brother of the same father and mother, but a stone blocking her way, which was completely different from the joy in her heart.
But she didn't find such a wrong scene.
Before the others could see Ah Yu's face change, Wen Huan took a step forward and blocked the little girl.
He opened his mouth to tell the thrilling scene of the little girl on the street, and said: "Ah Yu didn't see anything unusual when he got off the horse, and when he came out of the carriage, his face turned pale, and he must have finally known that he was afraid......
Then he didn't need to say more, Old Lady Wen had already asked Ah Yu to step back first: "Let someone go to the kitchen to boil you a bowl of soothing soup, drink the soothing soup, and then sleep well, and ......settle down."
Ah Yu was pulled out of the door by Wen Huan.
She was indeed a little scared in her heart, but this did not prevent her from continuing to stay in Old Lady Wen's yard, after all, she still wanted to see what the four-month-old Ling'er looked like, but Wen Huan didn't seem to want to give her this opportunity.
Out of Old Lady Wen's courtyard, Wen Huan's pace slowed down slightly.
Ah Yu looked up at him, tugging at his sleeve vigorously, not very willing to continue to be dragged by Wen Huan.
She said, "Brother, go slowly, I'm about to lose track!" ”
Wen Huan did slow down when he heard this, but he only slowed down slightly from beginning to end, and he had no intention of stopping.
Ah Yu asked Wen Huan suspiciously: "Why do I feel that my brother seems to be in a hurry to take me away from my grandfather's yard?" They don't want to give me a little time to see how big Lemon is now! ”
Wen Huan didn't seem to have any affection at all.
He sighed silently.
How can he explain that the reason why he was in a hurry to take the little girl away was because her facial expression was too unusual!
Wen Huan looked at Ah Yu very embarrassed, and finally asked her: "Ah Yu, let me ask you, do you feel a little uncomfortable now?" ”
Ah Yu covered his heart with his hand, felt the beating under his palm, and replied hesitantly: "It seems, it seems, it is indeed a little uncomfortable, but does this have anything to do with Brother taking me away?" ”
"Then do you know that people are scared to death?" Wen Huan recalled the incident he had heard from Mr. in Weizhou, and repeated in front of Ah Yu: "There was a person in Weizhou before, who was usually in good health and didn't even get sick, but one day he walked home at night, and met a gangster in the same village pretending to be a ghost on the way, and then he was scared to death. ”
Ah Yu: "Uh-huh, and then what? ”
She still couldn't understand the meaning of her brother's words.
Wen Huan coughed, he actually felt that his words were a bit strong, but in front of Ah Yu, he couldn't show his timidity, and he couldn't tell the little girl directly, saying that she seemed to be a different person just now, and this didn't scare the little girl out of her illness.
Such mysterious things, or wait for him to ask his grandfather, and then decide whether to tell Ah Yu or not, and now he will fool people first.
"The person I'm talking about, he was not scared to death on the spot, but after returning to his own home, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and his heart hurt more and more, and finally he died of pain...... Ah Yu, you also said that you are a little uncomfortable in your heart just now, I think it is better to take a look at Doctor Yang first, don't go out, and give yourself a new illness......" The more Wen Huan said, the more panicked he felt, probably the highest level of deception is to deceive himself first!
Symptoms elsewhere are easy to treat, but if the lesion is in the heart, it will be difficult.
Wen Huan's words are very logical, at least Ah Yu brushed it down from beginning to end, and didn't find anything unreasonable, she knew that Wen Ru had never had any serious illness, and had been dying in the winter of that year, but she couldn't be sure that she would be safe and sound.
So I believed my brother's letter.
