Chapter 237: Missing
After Xu Huaiqing left the capital, Bai Jiujiu began to be a little unaccustomed, and when he went to bed at night, he looked at the empty other side of the bed, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness in his heart.
On the first night, she slept with Xu Huaiqing's pillow. It seems that only by smelling the smell of Xu Huaiqing can her heart gradually settle down.
It was night, the wind and rain outside the window, and the raindrops crackled on the windowsill, inexplicably giving people a depressing atmosphere. Bai Jiujiu didn't sleep very peacefully, she had many dreams, dreaming that Xu Huaiqing was on the battlefield, the overwhelming killing sound was deafening, everyone was red-eyed, and the armor on the ground was full of dried blood.
Bai Jiujiu called him, and the hoarse voice dissipated in the sky, and the moment Xu Huaiqing turned around, a sharp blade suddenly pierced his chest, and she fell to the ground in fright, waking up sweating profusely. Outside the house, lightning and thunder thundered, and the light of lightning illuminated her pale face.
After a long time, Bai Jiujiu seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and the whole person collapsed on the bed, and the cold wind mixed with the rain poured in from the gap in the window, blowing on her body, making her shiver.
At this time, Bai Jiujiu found out that her profanity. The clothes have long been soaked with sweat.
Early in the morning, the maid came in with a basin of water, saw that her face was pale, and asked her in a soft voice if she was in a bad mood.
"It's fine." Bai Jiujiu waved his hand casually, but his face was very discouraged.
She hadn't slept at least in the second half of last night, and now she still had a large dark circle under her eye. said that it was okay, no one would believe it, but the maid didn't ask much, and after washing Bai Jiujiu, she tiptoed back.
The embroidery workshop is on the right track, and there are a lot of things to be busy every day, but fortunately, there is also Han Zhaoyin, Bai Jiujiu only needs to check the embroidery.
After arriving at the store, Han Zhaoyin happened to be there, and when he saw her ugly face, he said disapprovingly, "Pay attention to your body, don't be too tired." ”
Bai Jiujiu yawned and hummed lazily.
Han Zhaoyin saw that she didn't listen at all, and suddenly became a little anxious, "I'm serious, I'm not joking with you, if you break your body, I will ...... How will you manage the embroidery workshop in the future? ”
Swallowing back the words after wanting to speak, Han Zhaoyin changed his words, and excused himself to hide his worries by saying that it was for the embroidery workshop.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Bai Jiujiu opened his round eyes and patted his chest to reassure.
Han Zhaoyin shook his head and stared at her for a long time before sighing leisurely, "Xu Huaiqing is so smart, he knows how to protect himself, you don't have to worry about him so much." ”
Seeing through his heart at a glance, Bai Jiujiu was a little weak-hearted, but he still straightened his neck, and said stiffly, "Who said that I was worried about him, there is nothing to do, don't talk nonsense." ”
Han Zhaoyin didn't expose it, he just looked at her with a smile, so that Bai Jiujiu couldn't get off the stage, and his eyes widened fiercely, "Master Han, it's time for you to go to work." ”
However, with Han Zhaoyin's enlightenment, her emotions did ease a lot, although she still missed it, but she just put it silently in her heart and didn't let others notice it.
Bai Jiujiu decided to keep herself busy, in addition to going to the store, she also got up early every day to practice. The time of the day is full, and it seems that only in this way can we forget Xu Huaiqing, who is far away on the battlefield.
The person who chased and killed her in the rainy night before, still makes her feel palpitations when she thinks about it, she knows that the other party is not dead, just lurking in the corner like a beast, and giving her a fatal blow if necessary.
A strong sense of crisis rose in Bai Jiujiu's heart. There is no master here, and if he is killed again, there will be nowhere to find his soul. In order to survive, she must be strong.
After searching around the body, he found that the poor with little spiritual power was pitiful, Bai Jiujiu meditated cross-legged, concentrating and entering the cultivation state, but at this time, there was a sound of talking outside.
"The meal has been set, and Jiujiu hasn't gotten up yet?" This is Wang's voice.
"Old lady, Madame has been studying embroidery last night, and she slept late, I'm afraid she is still asleep at this time." This crisp voice was Bai Jiujiu's maid, Xu Huaiqing specially picked it out for her before, and only listened to Bai Jiujiu alone in this family.
The maid is very clever, articulate clearly, and speaks in a clear manner, Bai Jiujiu is secretly satisfied in her heart, and at the same time a little melancholy, Xu Huaiqing gives her the best, this person has taken all aspects into consideration for her, but she can't be by her side, alas.
Although Wang didn't get used to it, he didn't say much, but said, "When she gets up, let her eat some breakfast quickly, so as not to starve her stomach." ”
"The slave knows, thank you for your concern."
Wang was gone, and it was quiet outside again.
Bai Jiujiu stayed in the room until noon before coming out, and he didn't need to use breakfast, so he went directly to the front hall for lunch.
In the afternoon, I went to the store to take a look, and showed my newly researched patterns to the embroiderers, so that they could learn, and there was a burst of compliments.
When these embroidery girls came in before, they were a little dissatisfied with Bai Jiujiu, thinking that she was so young and how good the embroidery work could be, and when they saw her embroidery, they were all silent, and now they were only left with admiration.
After instructing the embroidery girls, Bai Jiujiu walked around the street for a while before returning home.
Because he was thinking about how to contact the master, before he knew it, Bai Jiujiu walked to a bamboo forest in the mansion. Speaking of which, when I bought this mansion at that time, I still fell in love with this bamboo forest, with winding paths and secluded paths, which won Bai Jiujiu's heart.
Seeing that she liked it, Xu Huaiqing asked people to build a pavilion inside, called the Bamboo Wind Pavilion, which means that listening to the sound of the bamboo forest being blown by the wind here also complements each other.
Bai Jiujiu slowly walked on the path in the bamboo forest, only to feel that it was quiet and abnormal, and there was an extremely rich aura floating in the air. After being slightly stunned, followed by a burst of ecstasy, I didn't expect that this bamboo forest was still a treasure, and it had such a strong aura, so that when she cultivated, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Bai Jiujiu took a turn in the bamboo forest again, making sure that there was no aura anywhere else except this forest, and couldn't help but be glad that he had fallen in love with this mansion in the first place.
Since then, Bai Jiujiu got up early every day to go to the bamboo forest to practice, and other people in the mansion rarely came here, even if he came, Bai Jiujiu had a way to find out quickly, so he didn't worry about being discovered by others.
On this day, she searched her intestines and stomach, and thought of a way to contact the master, but after trying it, she found that it was useless at all.
Am I mistaken? Bai Jiujiu pondered hard.
