Chapter 118: Find Someone
I walked along the bluestone path all the way, and I forgot to stop on the way, so I came directly to the gate of the academy.
Ah Yu looked back at the plaque on the main entrance of the academy, and did not intend to go back.
She sat down with Xie Huai'an in the octagonal pavilion next to her.
The wind in the mountains and forests wisps, the branches and leaves on the side of the road trembled gently, and it was quiet and peaceful.
Ah Yu looked at the scenery below the mountain, and unconsciously thought of the person he had just seen in his mind.
It's Duan Yuzhi!
When I saw him again, I already had the illusion that he was in a different world.
The environment suddenly quieted down, and Xie Huai'an didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
He adjusted the sitting position of the hairy child in his arms, and looked in the direction of the mountain like Ah Yu.
Mao Mao stared at Ah Yu for a long time, and she didn't see her teasing herself again, so she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Tsuki...... ......"
The child's voice is soft and glutinous, but the words are a little slurred.
Ah Yu turned her head, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether Maomao was calling her name or simply humming.
Xie Huai'an pressed Mao Mao's hand and didn't let him continue to struggle towards Ah Yan.
Although the performance is not obvious.
But he still remembered that the last time Ah Yu was at a loss, he was still inexplicably afraid.
Sure enough, Ah Yu was obviously relieved to see that he stopped Maomao's outstretched hand.
She explained with some embarrassment, "Maomao looks so small, I always feel that I will hurt him if I am not careful." ”
So she can stand aside and play with the child, but she doesn't dare to hold it herself.
Xie Huai'an nodded.
That's what he felt at first.
It's a pity that he has no right to refuse, and can only adapt to the fragile little children.
He felt that he could be different from everyone else, and he didn't intend to make Ah Yu do what she didn't want to do.
"You came to me today, it shouldn't just be to see Maomao!"
Xie Huai'an touched the hair on the head of the hairy child in his arms and felt soft.
There was something strange about him.
has been with Mao Mao for a long time, and he also understands the character of children.
This child's favorite thing is to walk around, if Xie Huai'an holds him in one place and sits still, within a cup of tea, the child will be shaking and trembling, and he has to force him to walk around.
How did you change your personality today?
They have been sitting in the octagonal pavilion for a long time, and they don't see him making a fuss.
Or is it because of the good view at the entrance of the academy and the open field that he is willing to stay obediently?
Xie Huai'an looked down at the child in his arms, thinking that Maomao was asleep.
However, Maomao's eyes stared at Ah Yu without blinking, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Such a preoccupied appearance is too inconsistent with a child who is only one year old.
When Xie Huai'an looked at it carefully, Mao Mao was smiling stupidly again.
It was as if the preoccupation just now was just an illusion on his part.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
Xie Huai'an came back to his senses from his doubts about Mao Mao, and he heard Ah Yu's words.
He asked incredulously, "Is the Lin family brother you are talking about the Lin family brother I think?" ”
Ah Yu nodded.
She didn't think there was anything unbelievable about her words.
"Isn't it all in the past?" Xie Huai'an wiped Maomao's saliva while continuing to ask, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the Lin family brothers?" ”
Ah Yu asked him rhetorically, "Is it really over?" ”
"You haven't even found the person who is targeting you behind your back, how can it be considered the past?"
Anyway, in Ah Yu's heart, this matter has never passed.
She knew that except for them, no one else would have thought about what she would do with the Lin family brothers if she was injured in the back mountain.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Grandfather has already transferred the Lin brothers out of White Horse Academy.
It stands to reason that Ah Yu should not continue to pursue this matter.
In Ah Yu's view, not pursuing is at most tantamount to not retaliating.
Pursuing the truth and not pursuing it are two different things.
"I originally wanted to go back to them after a while, but now the atmosphere at the girls' school makes me a little uncomfortable."
Ah Yu never confides in strangers.
When she opened her mouth to Xie Huai'an, she had already included Xie Huai'an in the scope of her own people.
As for the furry in his arms.
It was just a child, and it didn't count.
She continued, "I've been told that as long as I can keep myself busy and don't even have free time, I won't care about other people's opinions. ”
"I think they're right, and there's only one thing that can keep me busy lately!"
If it is taken seriously, the most important thing for Ah Yu is definitely not such a thing as the Lin family brothers.
But Ah Yu is still too young.
At her age, there is only one thing that can be intervened.
Ah Yu's expression was a little frustrated, and she said to Xie Huai'an, "Can you take me to meet them?" ”
Xie Huai'an was silent.
The guards around him who were proficient in torture failed to make Lin Mu and Lin Kun tell the truth.
Even if Ah Yu saw them, the result would only be the same.
He said firmly, "Yes." ”
Then the conversation changed, "Lin Mu and Lin Kun are studying in other academies now, and they will only go home in the middle of each month, and it is still the beginning of the month, if you want to see them, you will have to wait for a while." ”
It's okay to wait a few more days.
Ah Yu naturally responded.
On the appointed day, Ah Yu took only Aoba alone, got into the carriage, and followed Xie Huai'an to the Lin brothers' house.
The only people who came home in the middle of the month were the woods.
Lin Kun is still in the academy, copying books and earning some copper plates.
Xie Huai'an said, "Among the two brothers of the Lin family, Lin Mu is the easier one to talk to, and he feels guilty about you, maybe you can really ask something from his mouth." ”
"He was the one who beat me that day, right?"
Ah Yu said questioning words in an affirmative tone, and his hand unconsciously touched the back of his head.
She couldn't forget the bitter decoction she drank in the Wen Mansion Courtyard, and she couldn't forget how she had nightmares when she slept on her stomach.
For a while, her hatred for Lin Mu also reached its peak.
"I don't even want to see him anymore, and when no one stops me, if I want to fight with him in a hurry, I will definitely be beaten badly."
Ah Yu knows his own character.
If Lin Mu is really as Xie Huai'an said, he has always refused to tell the real name of the so-called employer.
She's sure to get into a fight.
Just looking at the Lin family brothers in order to make money, they can implicate her, an innocent person.
Maybe he will refuse to talk to her by force!
Xie Huai'an subconsciously pulled Ah Yu, who wanted to get out of the carriage.
He paused, "You don't think I'm going to leave you alone to talk to Lin Mu, do you?" ”
A puzzled look appeared on Ah Yu's face.
"Shouldn't it be me talking to him alone?"
"Why do you think that?" Xie Huai'an frowned, not understanding where Ah Yu came to such a strange conclusion.
"He's hurt you before, and for whatever reason, there's no way I'm going to leave him alone with you."
If you leave Ah Yu alone with Lin Mu, and Ah Yu is really injured by Lin Mu at that time, how can you live!
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
This is a bit of an inappropriate sentence here.
But today it was Xie Huai'an who took Ah Xuan out, and he felt that it was his responsibility to protect Ah An.
The first is not to put Ah Yu in danger.
Ah Yu had some headaches.
"You also said that Lin Mu felt guilty about me, and if I had asked, he might have told the truth. But if you were along, he might not say anything! ”
Xie Huai'an pulled Ah Yu's sleeve, but still didn't let her get out of the carriage.
"It really doesn't matter to me if I know who's targeting me behind my back." He sighed, and when he looked at Ah Yu, his eyes were full of helplessness.
"You know I didn't have a good reputation in the past......"
That's what he said before.
Ah Yu said, "I know, but it's just someone else's rumor, what can it have to do with the current incident?" ”
Xie Huai'an just smiled, "How can it be okay!" ”
Ah Yu quieted down and listened to him.
"Bad reputation-" Xie Huai'an's voice was very low, "In other words, there are many people who hate me, and those who hate me don't care if the rumors are true or false, because they hate me as a person." ”
"There are so many people who hate me, who knows who is ready to borrow the hands of others against me!"
Ah Yu looked at Xie Huai'an's wry smile, and was very surprised.
She disagreed with him.
A bad reputation may mean that there are a lot of people who hate him.
It's one thing to be hateful.
It's another thing to actually hurt others.
The last two years of Wen Ru's dream are the real bad reputation, although the Gu family's subordinates will snub her because of the master's dislike.
But the people who will really hurt her are not those who don't like her, but Duan Yuzhi and others.
"I don't know how to explain it to you, but it would be much easier for you to know his identity and guard against it than the jackal hiding in the shadows!"
The two actually didn't talk about it, but the place had already arrived.
The carriage stopped outside the courtyard of the Lin family.
Ah Yu and Xie Huai'an didn't talk loudly, and they didn't deliberately cover it up.
Even if the people in the room couldn't hear what they were saying, they could tell that there were other people outside the door.
It's sunny outside, and the wind is quite strong.
Lin Mu didn't dare to let his mother and sister go out to blow the wind, so he only took out the bedding at home to dry, and the dried quilt smelled of sunshine.
It's barely a glimpse of the sun.
He heard someone talking outside the house, the voice was not very familiar, and he thought it was just a passerby.
and he did not take it to heart.
After taking him to dry the bedding on a bamboo pole in the courtyard, he raised his head and saw a man and a woman in the carriage.
The little girl was facing away from him, and she couldn't see clearly.
Another teenager, but he really saw it.
Besides Xie Huai'an, who else could it be!
Lin Mu remembered the experience after being taken down by Xie Huai'an's guards, and under the bright sun, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The men didn't do anything to him, and he was unharmed.
Sometimes, however, it is a good thing to be injured.
When the young man and girl in the carriage hadn't noticed him, Lin Mu subconsciously turned around and returned to the house.
As long as you can't see people, you can assume that nothing has happened.
Man is always the best at self-deception.
"Is my brother hot? Come and wipe off the sweat! ”
Lin Mei's legs and feet are not good, and the people in the village will always laugh at her when they see her.
Over time, she became even more reluctant to go out.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, the half-hidden wooden door blocked the ups and downs of the outside world, and also refused her the opportunity to contact the outside world.
Lin Mei didn't know why Lin Mu just went out to dry the futon, and when he came back, he was sweating profusely.
Could it be that the weather is too hot these days?
But why didn't she feel too much warmth at home?
Lin Mu took the handkerchief from his sister's hand, moved his position under his feet, and blocked his sister's face, without letting her pay too much attention to the things outside the house.
"Maybe it's because I'm too blessed in the academy, and I'm only doing a little bit of work now, so I'm tired."
In order to keep his sister from thinking deeply, Lin Mu simply began to blacken himself.
Listening to Lin Mu talk about what he usually did in the academy, Lin Mei brought a small bench and listened to Lin Mu with Aunt Lin, but forgot Fang Cai's question.
Ah Yu turned his back to the courtyard, and did not notice that the forest trees came out and went in again.
Xie Huai'an saw it all.
But he didn't warn Ah Yu.
Before discussing it with Ah Yu, he was not going to remind Ah Yu.
The problem at the moment is that since he met Ah Yu, he has never said that he has won the dispute with Ah Yu.
This time was no exception.
Watching Ah Yu jump off the carriage smoothly, Xie Huai'an was a little helpless.
He couldn't help adding, "It's not impossible that you won't let me follow you, but there are some things I have to say ahead." ”
"When the time comes, you and he will be talking outside, and I will not stand behind you, but I will stay away from you, and promise not to eavesdrop on you, but you must be within my line of sight."
"Now, Ah Yu, I've already taken a step back, you can't even refuse to agree to this!"
The two of them each took a step back.
At this point, it is finally finalized to determine the next way of communication.
Ah Yu went to the shade of a tree on the side.
After Xie Huai'an got out of the carriage, he knocked on the door of the Lin family and called Lin Mu out.
When Lin Mu saw Xie Huai'an's face, he couldn't help but tremble.
He asked with some hesitation, "Young Master Xie came to me today, do you have something to say?" ”
Xie Huai'an pointed to Ah Yu in the shade of the tree and said, "It's not me who wants to find you today, it's her." ”
After Lin Mu heard Xie Huai'an's threat, he came to Ah Yu step by step.
Ah Yu originally wanted to ask the truth directly, but looking at Lin Mu's trembling appearance, she almost thought that the other party was the victim, but she and Xie Huai'an were the perpetrators.
She barely smiled, trying to make Lin Mu not so nervous.
But the other party seemed to be scared even more.
"You...... If you have anything, please tell me directly, I ...... If I could say anything, I would know everything, and I would say everything. ”
Ah Yu looked at the appearance of the person in front of him holding his head, and couldn't help but pass him and look at Xie Huai'an not far away.
I don't know what Xie Huai'an said to him just now, which made him so scared.
