Chapter 55: Fear
The wind at night was very cool, with snow faintly in the wind, and the sky was very dark. Yi Qi Wanxi looked down at the road illuminated by the kerosene lamp in front of her, thinking about Yi Qi vine grass in her head.
The person beside her was silent, so Luo Mei tilted her head slightly to look at Yi Qi Wanxi. Seeing that her face was pale and dark, her eyes were looking straight at the road ahead, and she didn't blink, she couldn't help but be a little worried. So he asked her softly, "Third Miss, but what's uncomfortable?" ”
Hearing Luomei's voice, Yi Qi Wanxi came back to her senses, shook her head, and glanced at her with a light smile, her tone was still soft: "No." ”
Although Yi Qi Wanxi said this, Luo Mei saw that her face was pale, and she was still worried. It's just that he didn't show it on his face, and he also smiled, and said, "I think you're tired, but your face doesn't look very good, which is really worrying." ”
"Don't worry." Yi Qi's tone was always soft, making people feel very weak, "It's just too cold, so my face is not good." ”
"The slave will bring you a stove to your house later." Luo Mei said, the smile on her face deepened a little, "The slave forgot that you were afraid of the cold, so I didn't go and get the stove for you first." ”
Yi Qiwan smiled lightly, did not speak, and the hands in front of him were red from the cold, so he hid them slightly in his sleeves.
Luomei was not a maid who served Yi Qi Wanxi, and the maid who served Yi Qi Wanxi in the past married someone during her time abroad. Yi Qi Wanxi was used to being alone in the UK, so she didn't ask for a maid after returning to China, only a subordinate who cleaned up her room.
It's just that Yi Qi Wanxi and Luo Mei are no strangers. Luomei is the maid who serves Yi Qi Mingzhi, and Yi Qi Wanxi was also taken care of by Luomei for a period of time when she was young. So Luomei knows some of Yi Qiwanxi's habits and preferences.
When she arrived at Yi Qi Wanxi's pavilion and sent Yi Qi Wanxi into the house, Luo Mei went to make a stove for Yi Qi Wanxi.
Yi Qi sat on the chair in the room, looked at the door that was brought in, and sighed lightly. As for why she sighed, Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know, so she suddenly sighed.
The night was quiet, the huge room seemed a little deserted, Yi Qi Wanxi took out the medicine from the box and put it on the table, took a teacup, and wanted to pour a glass of water to take the medicine, but there was an inexplicable coldness behind her, as if something was staring at her behind her. The tip of his nose suddenly became sore, and his eyes were covered with tears.
The hand on the table clenched his fist slightly, frowned, and finally mustered up the courage to turn around to look. Except for the usual furniture, but nothing was seen. She was the only one in the house.
But Yi Qi Wanxi always felt uneasy, so she looked carefully and found that there was indeed nothing, so she turned around again.
When I turned around, I felt it again. It was as if someone behind her was staring at her, with a fierce gaze, and if she was not careful, the person would take a knife and slash at her.
Uneasiness and fear welled up in his heart, Yi Qi got up suddenly, and when he turned around, he wiped his hand from the table and brought the tea set. Yi Qi yelled at the air, "What are you doing! ”
The moment the sound fell, the tea set fell to the ground, and with a sound, it shattered.
This sudden roar and the shattering sound of the tea set startled Luomei, who was about to enter the door.
Luomei came into the house, looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, who was angry at the empty inner room, and couldn't help but call her worriedly: "Third Miss? ”
Hearing the sound, Yi Qi Wanxi turned her head and saw Luomei, the horror in her eyes unconsciously increased a little, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Then he slowly squatted down, covered his ears tightly with his hands, and cried softly.
Seeing that Yi Qi Wanxi suddenly cried, Luo Mei panicked, hurriedly put the lamp and stove, walked up to Yi Qi Wanxi, squatted down and asked her, "Third Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
But at this time, Yi Qi Wanxi, where could she listen to the words, she just kept crying, and her hands clenched herself tighter and tighter. Seeing that Yi Qiwan's hand covering her ears was about to catch her face like that, Luo Mei hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Third Miss, calm down." ”
But Yi Qi Wanxi couldn't listen to her, and Luo Mei's eyes were full of worry when she looked at her. Until she was about to catch Yi Qi Wanxi, Luo Mei suddenly remembered something, hurriedly got up, went to get the medicine on the table, poured a cup of warm water to Yi Qi Wanxi, and was about to feed her.
Yi Qi looked at the medicine handed to her, but she couldn't stop trembling.
"Third Miss, just eat it, you won't be in pain if you eat it." Luomei was still frowning.
Hearing this, Yi Qi Wanxi stared at the medicine for a long time before she lowered her hand slightly, took the medicine tremblingly, and then put it in her mouth and swallowed it with warm water.
Seeing her somewhat painful expression, Luo Mei hurriedly got up again and poured a glass of water for her and sent it to her.
After drinking the tea, Yi Qi Wanxi still couldn't stop crying, but her hands were a lot more secure.
Luomei looked at her worriedly, not knowing what kind of pain she was, only feeling that she must be trying to suppress something. I'm trying to suppress the pain in my heart.
"Third Miss." Luomei called her softly, wanting to say something, but she wanted to say something again. She really didn't know what to say, maybe at the moment, it was better not to say anything.
"You get out." Yi Qi's voice was hoarse and gentle, but she couldn't hide her trembling.
Looking at Yi Qi Wanxi like this, how dare Luo Mei leave, she just looked at her with a worried face, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Get out!" Yi Qi's voice was a little louder, and the trembling was more obvious.
Hearing the sound, realizing that Yi Qiwanxi's mood was slowly deteriorating, Luomei thought it was because she was here. So he said softly to Yi Qi Wanxi: "The slave is out, and the third lady will rest early." When he had finished speaking, he took the kerosene lamp and went out.
But there was a lesson from before, Luomei didn't dare to go far, and went out of the house to listen to the movement inside at the door. After a long time, there was no movement inside, and when I saw that the lights in the house were out, I thought that Yi Qi Wanxi was asleep, so Luo Mei left.
The previous lesson was just before Yi Qi Wanxi went to Nanjing. Yi Qi Wanxi was looking for a short time in the house, if it weren't for the maid who was about to go in to bring tea to Yi Qi Wanxi at the door, she heard the movement inside, I was afraid that it would be ......
Luomei sighed lightly, I don't know how such a lively and cheerful girl became like this.
Yi Qi Wanxi did fall asleep, but she didn't fall asleep, in the night, she shrunk into a ball in the quilt, and kept crying.
Her world was dark, without a glimmer of light. She couldn't stop crying out in pain, hoping that someone would answer her, hoping that someone would pull her, but no one heard her in the end.
The night is vast, some are in pain, and some are sad.
Yi Qi Mancao sat on the bed, but couldn't sleep. After all, things are on mind. Seeing that Yi Qiwanxi's expression was wrong at dinner just now, she was inevitably worried, but her worries were not just such simple worries. And what she worries about, that's a story for later.
But when it came to the middle of the night, Yi Qi Wanxi was asleep, I don't know if she was too tired, she didn't dream, and she slept peacefully.
As soon as she got up, Yi Qi Wanxi had breakfast and went to say hello to Yi Qi Mingzhi and Wang. Seeing her so haggard, the second elder couldn't help but worry for a while, but Yi Qi Wanxi just smiled indifferently: "It's just that I didn't sleep well." ”
Because the family quit her job at school for Yi Qi Wanxi, she asked for peace, and she went to her own pavilion. On the way, I met Yiqi vine grass.
Yi Qi's silky black hair is tucked back with a hairpin, and she is still wearing a school uniform, a blue jacket and a long black skirt. She was followed by Aunt Ji, who carried a crossbody bag for her. It seems that Yi Qi Mancao is going to school.
When Yi Qi Wanxi saw her, she inexplicably wanted to dodge her, so before Yi Qi Mancao found herself, she looked away. But after all, she was such a big person there, so she was still seen by Yi Qi Mancao.
"Third sister, early." Yi Qi Mancao greeted Yi Qi Wanxi with a smile.
When Yi Qi heard this, she had to look at her, smiled lightly and nodded her head, but did not speak.
Yi Qi Mancao shouted and laughed, walked happily, and walked in front of Yi Qi Wanxi and stopped.
Aunt Ji also came over and saluted Yi Qiwanxi: "Third Miss." ”
Yi Qi smiled and nodded in response.
Yi Qi Mancao looked her up and down, but her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her face was full of worry: "Why is the third sister so haggard?" ”
Yi Qi Wanxi just smiled and looked at Yi Qi Mancao, but did not speak. She felt that there was no need to explain to Yi Qi Mancao. After all, if you tell her, she won't understand, and she may cause a misunderstanding, so she won't waste her tongue.
The misunderstanding that Yi Qi Wanxi was worried about was not unfounded. Yi Qi Mancao is very concerned about her, the third sister, and she cares about it, and she will carefully and repeatedly ponder Yi Qi's words, and it is easy to misinterpret the meaning. thought he was good to Yi Qi Wanxi, but he forgot to take care of Yi Qi Wanxi's feelings.
Naturally, the contradictions gradually spread.
"Didn't the third sister sleep well last night?" Yi Qi Mancao still looked worried, "The third sister should have slept early last night, right?" I went back to the house without eating, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't be so haggard. ”
Not again......
Yi Qi Wanxi's heart was filled with a trace of displeasure, she didn't know if Yi Qi Mancao cared about her, or ......
When Yi Qi Wanxi was about to think too much, Yi Qi Mancao smiled, his tone was brisk, and asked, "Anyway, the third sister is fine, why don't you go back and have a good rest?" ”
Looking at Yi Qi Mancao with a bright smile in front of her, Yi Qi Wanxi felt a trace of self-blame in her heart: What am I thinking, she is my sister.
"Don't worry about me." Yi Qi smiled lightly and said in a soft tone, "It's you, if you don't go to school, you'll be late." ”
Hearing this, Yi Qi Mancao suddenly let out an "oh", and then said to Yi Qi Wanxi: "Then I'll go to school, goodbye third sister." With that, he jumped and left.
Yi Qi smiled lightly and watched Yi Qi Mancao leave, then turned around and walked towards his own pavilion.
The early morning sky was cloudy and somewhat gloomy. The morning breeze was cold, and the morning mist blew over Yi Qiwanxi's face, and there was a slight pain.
But in this kind of weather, Yi Qi Wanxi felt that it would be sunny later.
Yi Qi Mancao walked out of Yi Qi Mansion, got in the car, took the bag that Aunt Ji handed in from the car window, and said goodbye to Aunt Ji. Then the driver drove away.
"Uncle Huan." Yi Qi Mancao called the driver who was driving.
Uncle Huan is in his forties and is an old servant in Yiqi's mansion.
"What does Miss Fourth command?" Uncle Huan looked at the road ahead and asked her.
"Does Uncle Huan know where Sinan is?" Yi Qi Mancao looked at the back of Uncle Huan's head and asked.
"I guess it's in the bureau." Uncle Huan thought about it and spoke, "We don't know about the people above. ”
"Oh." Yi Qi replied and looked thoughtfully out the window.
In the early morning, Shanghai has begun to be lively. Pedestrians come and go on the streets, each rushing for their own lives.
